Yuba River Gold - Episode 95 - The 2023 North Yuba Nugget Hunt
The 2023 North Yuba Nugget Hunt was an epic gathering and celebration of the goldseeking community. More than 200 miners turned out to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Canyon of the North Yuba, spend time with family and friends and search for gold. The weather was great, it was Miners' Christmas in July and Camp America proudly displayed the Red, White and Blue. Plenty of beautiful gold was found, smoke offerings were made, cold beer was consumed, patriotic songs were sung by a campfire and it was a jolly good time for everyone. If these are the types of things that you like to do, start making the plan for you, your family and your friends to join us next year. Aloha

Most Americans don’t venture out into the natural beauty of The American forests , when you hear prospectors talk about their “Secret Spots” its the beautiful forest and rivers of this country and it’s no secret ! Beautiful sights and sounds of the forest and these guys call this spot with pride “Camp America “ ! Family and friends kids and dogs these people know the secret. Thank you to the Brilliant minds that made this happen . 😎

Thanks so much to everyone involved in The Nugget Hunt. Tim you have such positive things to say, and I love that you always remind us young prospectors that when your not finding any color, sit back and take deep breath and observe your surrounding and you will find the real treasure of being in nature and great company. I hope you enjoyed the purple lemonade and gorilla glue during one of the many smoke offerings to mother Yuba.!!! Until next year. ALOHA - Sean

Tim, excellent job on the Nugget Hunt. You & the other miners do an excellent job setting this up, i'm sure it's a lot of hard work. It was so nice meeting you, you are such a friendly & generous person & a pleasure to meet you and the other miners. I had a great time and found a nice shady spot across the river on your claim, although I didn't find too much, just small flakes it was definitely worth the long drive and I did win a bag of Dirty Paws pay dirt w/ 1 gm of gold, pretty cool. The Yuba is such a beautiful river & the forest, can't beat it and I didn't see any litter anywhere there, cudos to you & all the miners, I did find a coffee cup near where I was but I picked it up. I'm going to have to get to know the river Yuba to know where to look for the shiny stuff and will have to go light next time to be more mobile, thanks again Tim, take care, Serg

I give u ny word not to bring anyone else. Plus Kathryn wants to get the courage to jump off that rock. By the time the miners council was over the sun had moved off the water in that area by the rock. I would never just go without permission and I told Kat I would see what u think but she may have to wait another year...
