Nice video and some good hunting for sure, but I have just one question.

With such a nice creek why didn't you take a fishing pole also?

 

Good hunting on your next outing.

I need to !!!!!

Great Book !!!!!!!

Plans dont always work out but the Gold we found metal detecting an old Gravel bar sure didnt disappoint !!!! 

Me and Gary ( Two Toe's ) had planned to do some Hydraulic Pit detecting in one of our favorite spots but old Mother nature had other plans.

After a lot of discussion and a long drive we decide to Metal Detect an old Gravel Bar to see what Gold it might be hiding in its bedrock crevices.

This time plan B worked out pretty good !!!!!!

I return to the Family Home site this time to Sift through the dirt looking for Family artifacts.

Filmed in the Fall of 2019 we uncover a Chauffeur's pin that belonged to my Great Aunt Kathryn's husband William Ernest Thrower.

The pin dates back to 1935-36 # 51927 from California.

a little bit about William Thrower he was a World War I United States Army veteran having served from March 26 1917 to July 2 1919.

Sergeant William E. Thrower 81 Division 324 Infantry, Company K of the American Expeditionary Forces .

Buried in Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, Ca 1895-1965

Tim from Blue Lead Gold Productions and Gary ( Two Toe's ) got to do some Metal Detecting and Boulder rolling Look at the Gold Nuggets they Found !!!!!!!

I'd say it was a Great Day !!!!!!!!

Quite a variety of detectors including an (+20 yr?) old White's Goldmaster.  Apparently you don't have to have the latest & greatest to find gold.  Thanks for the videos, Jeff.

Nope the  old detector work pretty good still !!! I would like to get either a White's TDI or a Minelab SDC 2300

Thanks for sharing that video, My wife and I have been to a lot of those places but we need to do more exploring. One can't fully appreciate the hard work and effort of the miners until you see some of those places and the size of some of the equipment they used.The transportation system back in their day was pretty basic.

                                                                                              Norm

That's for sure I'm amazed at some of the stuff I see back in the hills !!!!

Thanks guys I'm glad you all enjoyed the video !!!!

The Rain can't stop Jeff and Gary (Two Toe's ) as they head to the Hills in search of those elusive Gold Nuggets.

Jeff has his White's Gold Master V-Sat (VLF) Metal Detector and Gary has his White's TDI (Pulse Induction) Detector see which one finds the most and biggest Gold in the California Mother lode.

Clear that Bedrock and check those Crevice's there might be Gold Nuggets hidden in there !!!!

Nice video, with what they had back then they were very good at finding and removing the gold.

Wish they would have left some of the large pieces for people today.

Thanks for sharing.

thanks for watching and they did leave some not a lot but enough to make it worth looking !!!

Mining Relic's of the Mother Lode

There are relic's from the California Gold Rush all over the State.

The pictures in the video are from Grass Valley to Beckwourth and just about every camp or village in between.

When Gold was discovered in California in 1848 it started a mass expedition to the territory in search of great wealth.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and the video I just love visiting the Historic mining towns and sites .

I had been using a smaller pack but it's almost wore out so I just got a new one and its a tool back pack. I got from Home depot Husky Brand its red so you cant miss it. Has a heavy duty  rubber bottom should keep it from wearing out as fast it does weigh a little bit more . you can see it in my newer video's 

Jeff

With all the crazy stuff happening right now I feed the farm animal's and head to the Feather River to find piece of mind and Gold. I'm Social Distancing to the River !!!! No lines no media no drama no BS Just me and a few fishermen enjoying nature on the River.
