The scene with the three men sluicing and panning at the 1:37 minute mark was in Rockerville Gulch South Dakota circa 1889 on a claim I now own. I don't remember the dark hair fellows name but the other two are the Lamb brothers. Thie original photo is in the Library of Congress. Very much enjoyed the video. Thanks
