Gold Mining On The Yuba River

Awsome video. To bad that wasen't a dimond…lol… Well tks for posting, and I wen't to the frks of the buttes and got skunked, I only panned for about an hr, then went swiming..

Very beautiful place. The water sounds cool. I wish it was a diamond!!! Maybe next time?

well, you got the music, now all you need a log and brad and you got yourself deliverance 2.

lol…funny ending…you guys did good, lots of color showing and some nice large flakes. looks like you had a good time and that's what it's all about.

when you entered the old mine, you should've had some safety equipment with you, and a metal detector!!!

hi there!
when panning out, you should keep more of the 'black sand- heavies' bring home/shop, dry it out and can easy blow or magnet the rest… you'll keep more flakes and other fine gold than panning right to the end like that.
love the vids keep them up!!!

Thanks for the tip.More vids to come Thanks

All that exposed bedrock – perfect. If water at one time ran over it, it most certainly left some gold deposits in those crevices and holes of the bedrock. Many times, the bedrock is under a lot of water and other soil deposited on top of it.

Very nice, you guys seem to have lots of fun doing all this. Better luck with the diamonds next time. Nice gold findings though

Sry I never called you. Im in school and would love to go with you. Id went to dean rd last week and got luckey. Iv been going out once an a while, but ive been doing home care and its been taking up some of my time. Thanks for the invite maybe you should email me like more than once. I just got a super crevise sucker. Very nice church videos, Ive watched one or so… Jess

bush cheney =(
you support the killing of thousands of young americans men and women?
and the man who spent the surplus of money we had left from klinton?

See the damn bottle in the tunnel that sucks so badly bring it in pack it out !

Their is no gold in that mine…. Where were you. It is a long walk to the river from the poster sign.. At the 1 min mark…..How long was the hike? i want to go their in sometime.That looks like a great spot…Dave your panning is awsome.. I enjoyed the red dirt in the water… Awsome. now i can see its glass..

lol i was right there at that same spot at 2:10 camping a little bit up and we came down and tried panning

whats the name of the song

does the mineral in question scratch glass? if so its not glass. if u have a tungsten carbide scribe (hardness 8.5-9.0), which costs only a couple bucks, that will tell u if its corundum, which is a gem, or harder

Thanks for the video. Seeing the trail down to the yuba brings back some great memories. That's where I learned to pan and caught the fever. I live in Idaho now and try to make a trip back to the south fork every summer. I can't wait for the next trip now!

Nice…

Hello. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.
I would really like to know where you got your crevice sucker you use in this video. (Gold Mining on the Yuba River). I would like to get one because it looks like the perfect size, etc.

Thank you very much. Charlotte – flappingwings7@aol.com

6:12 what is that on the bottom right corner

I had the same problem with thinking I found a diamond but it is Mica,if you take the last bit of cons home and dry it out you can look through a magnifying glass (mine is 40x mag. ) and you will see alot more than you think

nice sounding 12. what kind is it? nice bottom end. boomier than my dean. youmight be discarding enough blacks to sweat losing a little fine, but i doubt it. you started with a fairlysmall amt and did a good job of panning. the alternative is packing extra poundage out of the river bottom for maybe 1/4 grain of oro.

haha cool video had a giggle hope ur wife liked the "Diamond"
