Bedrock Crevice Detecting on the Yuba River



Let's Find some Gold on Mother Yuba !!! We head back to the Yuba River in search of those elusive Gold Nuggets.
We are armed with the Minelab SDC 2300 and the White's Gold Master V-Sat that gives us both a Pulse Induction Detector and a VLF machine.
Moving those Boulders is hard work but that's what needs to happen to expose the Bedrock Crevices and get those Nuggets !!!

Trying to convince rookie gold hunters of how heavy gold is as compared to other things rattling around in streams is always an uphill battle. However, once they finally grasp the concept, they're off on the right foot to finding where it hides.

You always seem to have fun while you're out making your gold chasing videos, nicely done.

All the best,

Lanny

Worked at an engineering supply company in the 1970's. Always wondered what people use the come-a-longs for. Now I can see they would be good for moving heavy rocks.

How many other prospectors go to that trouble, hence the big nuggets found when you make that effort. Makes so much sense.
