Winter Gold panning on the Yuba River
Ойын-сауық
We head to Mother Yuba in search of Gold and piece of mind !!!! Me and Gary @TwoToes and Robert @HolmesProspecting brave the frozen Winter Wonderland ( AKA ) Snow in our endless search for Golden Adventures !!!! Our goal for the trip was to find a couple of spots where the Gold has gathered during high water. ( flood Gold ) or maybe a spot it's been hiding at for years !!!!
A Nugget would be great a Picker would be Good but just being out on the River with the Guys was the real payoff !!! Well that and the Ice Cream I got in Downieville on the way home !!!!

I'm worried Jeff!! The Flour Gold Wizard is catching you all fast!!! But he does cheat using Rigby's nose (he's a hard working miner). At least Robert got on the board with that mini railroad spike ;) (noticed he was using Gary's Acme Nail and Stud finder) But I'm proud of you for finding gold without resorting to nail hunting! It's a 13 step plan you know ;) Of course Two Toes found gold anyway. I told you it was more than luck, that he is a natural dowser!! He can sense the stuff!!! Great day, great hunt!!!
Just amazing day out there fam. What a blast. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!

To dig high or to dig low? That is the question. When on the Yuba, the advice is always the same. Go high young man. Go high. That crystal clear blue sky was looking fantastic. I’m really looking forward to the videos you will be shooting in that area during summer (and hope to make an appearance in some of them too). Congratulations to Robert for beating the skunk. Ice cream is good even on a cold day. As usual, Gary may have found the biggest piece and the most gold (he can be so tiresome and unoriginal that way). However, your first gold find makes you the undisputed winner again.

I love how Gary has a small pan and just grabs a few handfuls of material and gets a loaded pan. I can't wait to get back up North. Prospecting is the only time where I've been out in nature for 12 hours and can't believe its already time to go home.... daylight never last long enough. As a surfer from NC that transplanted to North Shore Hawaii, I would have never in a 1000 years thought I would be so in to prospecting. Currently in SoCal prospecting KZread until I can get back to the ML. Keep living the dream with Ice Cream.

Gray is not made of sugar and don't melt when it rains. So, I'm thinking it must be more of a dilution thing ... He's sour disposition and tart personality is a little less caustic in the rain. A Man has got to keep up his persona, now ... No matter how many toes he has or don't have. Good to see the sun 🌞 ... I'm drawing up a set of plans for a Ark for next year ⚙🤣😂🤣
