My granddaughter wanted a metal detector for Christmas so she could find gold. I think she saw it on a YT video. Well, I told her that I don't have much gold on the Almosta Ranch but we could detect on the shooting range for bullets. I think she is just as happy finding bullets that get turned into "gold" at the tune of five cents each. Her being with me, pure gold.

There was an early Gold rush in North Carolina back in the 1700s. Charlotte NC became one of the first Mints. Reed Gold Mine and a 17 pound gold nugget. Interesting read. Thanks again for your videos.

Santee, Keep picking at it. Thank you very much. You and Mrs. Pew Pew have a beautiful and blessed weekend.

A golden opportunity to learn some nuggets of truths.

Wyatt Earp and his wife Josephine ventured to Alaska, where they ran the Dexter Saloon in Nome during the summers and spent their winters outside the state.

That scene from Pale Rider always cracks me up. Gold is extremely dense. A nugget that size could not be held with one hand, yet he’s just waving it around lol.

Yukon showed courage and determination, Rex showed common sense in heading back south!

the railroad built to help get to the goldfields and avoid the treacherous passage hike is still in use for tourist trains with only 40 miles if the original 110 miles closed

Fun video. Got to visit the gold rush region when we visited Alaska, but we took the White Pass on a train (in the summer!) incredible what those miners went through. Dawson City was cool to visit and we panned for gold a little too Loved the clip from Paint Your Wagon!

This truly was a nugget of history. Just a golden review

I've been watching quite a few of your videos now. And I've been trying to keep the old West. Alive as much as I can living here in New Hampshire.
I am 25 years old and I keep as much as the old West. Alive as I can and thankfully, you're history, videos and stuff like this. It's helping me very much. Hopefully, sometime I can go and visit my mother as she's down in hurricane Utah. Hope way to make it today. Arizona is well warmed down there some day she got remarried and she moved out that way. But I'm still up here in New Hampshire. Living my cowboy way, hopefully someday I could get down in Come down in the West and see some Historical Landmarks of the tombstone and other things and that particular area someday I dress with the cowboy clothing and all and I don't not wear any modern day clothing at all. I buy all my clothes from a circle cowboy reenactment sites. I wear them and I wear them, and I wear them until they rot off of me. Not a word I wore him until there was nothing left of them. I take a bath once a year at most as the old cowboy's dead. I'm always dirty and grimy. And I aint afraid to get dirty either. I wear my clothes until they park your rod off. That's when I take a bath. Basically I wear nothing but button suspenders. And bedfront churn cowboy pants, even sometimes leather chaps. And I stuff like that. I always wear my bandana too, and my cowboy hat. I do hot making tube but never really went on a big process a bit. I shape my own wool hats bombing hat blanks

Alaska: *Gold is discovered*
A lot of dogs: hehe I'm in danger

There are strange things done, under the Midnight Sun, but if it weren't for Santee.... They'd be pretty boring!

[Rick_King]

Great video, Santee!

I still think they should make a sequel to Tombstone, with Kurt Russell as an older Wyatt Earp, including his time in Alaska, and Sam Elliott as an older Virgil in Goldfield, Nevada!

Whhew, close one! For a moment there, I thought Bill was gonna miss his cameo, haha

[homesteadohio]

Great little nugget of information, Santee.

I really like the clips from Pale Rider in this, not to mention the fiddle playing Billy in the Low Ground in the beginning.

You forgot to mention, Scrooge McDuck made his fortune in the Klondike (according to the comics I read as a boy) 🤣
