Gary, I cut a corner off a blue tarp, about 2' by 2', and use it to put my diggings on. It keeps everything from getting mixed up with the surrounding dirt and you can spread the dirt around or put it into piles for further detecting. Also folds up and fits neatly into your back pocket. It saves a lot of time.
Spotting the "out of place" rocks was incredible. Now that was experience talking. Just loved it!

Personally, I like "stupid long."
I always laugh when people say "ahh, just small gold.". Gold is gold and it adds up...lol. Most of us are out for time in nature and, if lucky, we find some shiny. It adds up and will give us some $$ eventually. Thanks for taking us along and explaining things along the way. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Research + yrs of experience are his keys to the fun . The 🐐⛏🌲 👍😎✌️.
Hey Gary - I don't think your videos are too long. I always find myself sorry when they're over, because every minute of them is informative and entertaining. Thank you for being you, and for sharing so generously with us all! Oh yeah - and the way you spotted those "out of place" rocks? Dang! You're the master!!
Really cemented that "recheck your hole" statement hey. Awesome😎
An old miner stopped there to fix his boot and dropped that gold out of his pocket.

Excellent Video Gary you had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! I was waiting for this one as I knew from talking to you last you had found something good.. Made me smile to think that just when you were finding all that gold it was right around the same time I was finding my nice haul that day.. Your right, you better go with Bennett if hes tryin to take you! Great gold and video Gary!

What a hot little spot you found! Always look forward to Monday mornings with the GOAT! Much love from Lake county.
When you were detecting the large rock I thought you had two hits before moving rock, and so you did🤗🤗🤗
Cant beat that experience. Thank you sir for the lessons and taking us along! Big congrats on your finds.
Really enjoyed this video and so glad you found some nice gold! That one area was awesome! Thanks for all the teaching/sharing you do.
Always informative and funny. Thanks Gary for being such an informative educator for prospectors.
The 1st spot you were talking about with bennit is the spot I go to....good video. Happy hunting.
My two favorite hobby’s. Prospecting and metal detecting. Well done Gary.
Great video! Glad I found ya. Super informative. I really appreciate how you explain how to find gold in depth. Old guys always have the most knowledge! I’m hooked! Thank you for sharing
Such a good cache. Need a headlight on that kind of prospecting trip. Thanks Gary for a great educational outing.
Brilliant Video - loved every second: hilarious one minute, tremendously exiting the next. That hole that kept on giving was awesome. And so full of generous knowledge sharing too. GReat.
All that gold has give me my daily fix.well worth the length of the video.you have so much knowledge to share and learning takes time.🌟✨👍😊
Thank you for teach us. I really do value everything you and many others have been giving us. I’ve been inspired to get out next spring myself.
I sure enjoyed this one Gary! I sure hope that you're going back here, and am looking forward to some more of those out of place rocks!! Man that was exciting!! Thank you !!!
Well Sir, you can't beat experience. I learned a lot, thanks to Gary for the show. Gold Work !!!!
That was probably the most exciting few minutes I’ve seen in any video of yours or others. I hope to take your knowledge and find gold like you Gary. If I only found a tenth of what you find I’d be happy. Look forward to the next one 👍
Nice Finds Gary. What a great few hunts you had. Thanks again for the wonderful videos.
Thanks for taking us along
Gary, very informative video. Great finds! I appreciate you explaining what type of area you are in, what you are looking for and why, along with your thought process. You also take the time to move the camera to share it all with us. Thanks again... Aaron
I really enjoy your methods, you show a systematic way to do our searches. Thank You ! PR
No such thing as too long when the gold is that beautiful and the nugget are that big! Great video!
You are fun to watch Gary.Thanks for another lesson.
Great to learn from you and see you finding some really nice gold.
Absolutely love your videos,it's always nice to sit on the shoulders of the giants,and learn from experienced prospectors.🙏🏼 Hello from UK 👋🏽
Thank you Gary! I learn something new every time you post a video. That's why the length of the video doesn't even bother me. I've never seen an explaination of how to find big gold at a hydrolic pit as what you did in this video. You've helped me find more and bigger gold both with knowledge and with tool selection. I have a Marion tool and the others you sell and love them! Thank you for presenting your wisdom and sharing on site what you are doing, using and thinking. I just had to write you. I'm really fired up for prospecting now because, now, thanks to you, I have a way of doing things that really work well. The other day at the river I found twice as much in 1 hr as I have before, working it all day! That makes it fun! Don't worry about length. If you're presenting good info, who cares how long it is! Keep them coming Gary! Monday Mining Day!! Love it!
I'm 59 yrs old..this is my first week watching gold prospecting videos. I know nothing about this subject. I'm a city guy, don't care much about hiking, camping.. Yet, I find your videos very instructional, professional, concise, and fun...im fascinated by how you read the landscape around you.,! thx for sharing your adventures. I might do this as a new hobby.. you're a fantastic teacher.. gonna binge watch all your channel..Subscribed👍
Great info! We are working a bunch of old hydraulic workings. Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding video Gary, thank you for sharing your insights.
Great video. Your knowledge is priceless . Nice gold!!!!
I keep praying for this man, like watching his videos .. very informative!
At the ripe old age of 72, I'm in my 5th year of metal detecting. Honestly, most my hunting has been around old home-sites and parks. Recently I picked up a Whites TDI-Pro with a 7inch Miner John coil. I live in Corning, Ca ... not to far from your neck of the woods. Your videos have been a major inspiration to me. Hoping I can get some experience here, in Northern California, and learn a new skill with my PI machine. It's just a plain fun hobby, yes? Side note: Who says retirement is boring? =)

Excellent educational and rewarding video. Another winner, TT. Continued good luck in the future.
So glad I found your channel. Love these videos. Reminds me of the many weekends spent up in the Plumas NF on the gold claims!
Wow, awesome job at the Hydraulic pit, I will definitely take another look at this video
That was wonderful Gary. I always look forward to watching your videos. God bless and have a great holiday season.
This video is one of my favorites! Perfect example of real knowledge. Awesome for the fact that you truly prove that always checking your hole before moving on is so important. I think you could even find gold in a Waimart parking lot. Im amazed at your keen sense of location. Im hoping I can do a some prospecting with you sometime. You have my ph #, lets go!! I also want you to come up to my claim when the snow melts next year.
Wow Gary, you knocked it out of the park again! Bob
That was excellent! Thanks Gary!
Fantastic outing and great tutorial! There's no substitute for the 'eye of experience'. As always, thank you for sharing your brilliant skills, Gary!!! PS -- the video didn't seem long at all, I was riveted the whole way through1
This is so exciting for me! I love watching you hunt
Just a thank you You’re a bigger help to beginners like me then you’ll ever know From an Old Jarhead Semper Fi and God bless you
Great video to toes and talk about a little nugget patch that was awesome you don’t run across that very often well stay safe and keep the videos rolling we love to watch you thanks a lot and have a good one out for now
That is one likeable pile of gold! :) Nice video, nice commentary. Thank you.
Treasure pit under that rock :) Thank you for great educational videos, we newbiees appreciate it so much
Wow Gary you found a nice spot! Id be going back there for sure (and Im sure you will lol) Thanks for taking us with you and all that you do!
Those nuggets are beautiful. Nice finds
Great video Double T!
All under one rock!!! just amazing man!
Nice man, knows what he's doing, good communicator..and a chilled guy. Thanks for the smiles Gary - I'm European.. there's no Calif gold where we are :-)
Nice looking pieces, great job.
Honey hole!!! Thank you for teaching us, I keep learning so much from you!
I'm glad you mention the quartz in the the gold. In my area there have been two found and they went for about $50,000.
What a productive day! I loved every minute of it. Not one moment of boredom! Beautiful gold! Your total weight was s out 11 grams. 11 X $48 = $528 (roughly). Way to go!
Awesome gold gary! I very much enjoy all of your videos, you're very knowledgeable!!! Almost 1/2 ounce of gold is great for only 3 trips out!!!
Great vid as usual Gary and I love the excitement on your face when those nuggs kept showing up. 👍🏻
Very nice pieces mate And great info Thank you
Nice adventure there Gary to the pits. Great little missed hole under that rock.
Lesson well learned from a miner to a miner.Thank You.
Incredible job. So nice to see that gold.
Reminds me of digging a hole of civil war minnie balls back in Virginia. Every time I got one out still another signal still there. Got nine from that one hole. Great spot Gary . As always thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for your experience Sir
Awesome finds!!
Great video Gary !!! I love watching how you work with that metal detector finding the GOLD ! You got enough to melt it down and make a Christmas ornament... LoL " Merry Christmas to you and your family" and keep the videos coming into the new year !
Holy moly Gary, that is some awesome nuggets there mate👍
Great day on the gold ! Very nice specimens ! Hope you find more. Best of luck to you !
If your can handle it’s a good adventure. Pretty place. Liked the video.I don’t think I would want to leave.
Very nice chunky gold and very practical and well explained process of
Good haul Gary
great video and some mighty fine nuggets, Yep i would strip around that area of the large rocks and have another detect and where those nuggets came from i would bag some gravel to pan out cheers Glenno.
I'm 26 and I don't think I could keep up with you on your hikes. Keepin' busy keeps ya young, proofs in the puddin'. I also appreciate the longer videos!
The longer get the better another class video lovin it 👍
Great video! Hope you make more!

Cool video man
Thanks, gaining experience without the pain.
Awesome information and great footage
Damn! That does it, I'm getting a metal detector. It's all about the gravel...even in hydraulic pits. It's been a a year with a lot of great finding of buried treasure. Poker is a game with a large element of chance, but its skill that gets the same group of guys to the world series of poker year after year. Apparently the same is true for prospecting. Thanks for sharing the techniques and thanks for another great video.
Ole son that is big gold and thanks for letting us watch.
Nice. Always informative!
I totally agree about digging every hole. An iron signal could be covering up a good target underneath. That's why you always recheck your hole. ✌😎
Ive watched this video 3 or 4 times now and i believe its my favorite
Thanks for more great info Gary You have had a great year !! The gold you got with Bennett were some heavy slugs! Thanks for the great experience at your hydro pit. I Look forward to this spring .. It’s back to Hawaii for me but at least I got all your future videos to watch this winter!!
