Yuba River Gold - Episode 90 - California Raging River Gold

Temperatures are rising, the snow pack is melting and the Gold Country rivers are raging. The best places to dig are flooded. We are on a mission to locate gold rich gravel to to feed the Angus. Motherlode flour gold wizard, Brother Burt, emits shouts of delight when his pan lights up with hundreds of tiny flakes. Our pleasure from the discovery of a loose standards picker, and a legitimate one as well, proves that we often easily amused. Gravel analysis is done, digging strategies are concocted and we sluice up some respectable clean outs in challenging conditions. All in all, it's another great day of mining high in the Sierras (pun intended).
