California Gold and Platinum Nuggets - Where They Were Found (Locations Given)

The gold and platinum nuggets in this video were found in the hills of northern California during many prospecting adventures in many different areas. We take a look as some of these finds and where the gold was found, along with some background into each discovery. Gold is not easy to find by any means, it takes years of dedication and looking in the right places along with a little luck and much hard work to locate finds like these, but sometimes it's purely luck! Join me as I share some of my golden journeys into the mother lode region in search of gold and adventure!

Any flake that's 4.5 grams is a nugget in our book! Great video and just love the story for every piece. Keep up the great videos and we hope for record gold year for everyone. Much love from over here in lake county.

One of the best vids I have seen on this subject. Especially the locations. I have prospected this area for 12 years but quit 20 years ago as my life changed. Now I have time again to get back into it. Sounds like a metal detector is the way to go. I was doing some sniping but did not find anywhere near the size of gold you guys are. But my largest piece interestingly did come from an area out of Georgetown.

The reason I subscribed to your channel is because you're not boastful, or show off with eccentricity that 'some' others tend to, and my preteen Molly and I love the friendly way you are, and your pals. We prospect in the US although we're based in the UK, mostly go bushcrafting close to gold bearing old river, so we go crevicing. Our finds have been amazing. ...When Molly found her fist gold nugget she was hooked. I'm mighty proud of her. Many thanks to you ~Wendi

I loved this video. Most refreshing to date. And you really ave the petfect tone in your voice for story telling. I'm in my late fiftys and I still metal detect and search for crystalls which is one of my many hobbies. Coming across a colonial coin or a silver Spanish coin still gives me a great thrill. My uncle and I were very close growing up and he would take me on all kinds of adventures. We prospected on his claim ( also in California), where I found many pickers and one nugget weighing over an ounce. I sold back when gold prices were at an all time high. The rest I have kept as a piece of my childhood. The largest nugget he had found on that property weighed in at 4 ounces! He never found anything that size again in that area and suspects it may have been a drop by past prospectors, as the area was heavily mined back in the early 1900s. It continued to produce flake and picker size gold during his lifetime which he panned into his mid 80's. We also found a small pocket of crystals on his land when I was 12. That search is something I still do two weeks every year. I travel to Arkansas, Carolina or New York crystal hunting for amethysts and Herkimere diamonds. My uncle once took me to Australia for my 14th birthday to stay with a friend of his who had over 600 acres of land in an area that was known for opals and gold. He and his family worked the different parts of land that produced some of the prettiest fire-opals I ever seen. That trip for 3 weeks was when I caught the bug for metal detecting too. Back then in the mid 70s, metal detectors were much different than today's. This friend had some of the highest quality equipment that was available at that time. My AT MAX is much easier to use. We detected for a week in the hill country of that land and looked for opals the other two weeks. We found both gold and opals on that trip and I still have the neckless my uncle had made out the quarter size piece of fire opal that I had found on that trip. I know and completely understand the thrill of the find you talk about. Theres nothing like it when the last of the sand is washed from your pan and the gold is revealed. We travelled all over the world seeking adventure and my uncle gave me some of best memories of my childhood. I continued to visit and pan with him in California until his death in 2008. I miss him still.

[savagestacker]

Absolutely amazing brother . I’ve been out fighting wild fires for most of the 2020 fire season which has just ended I meet a good brother on these fires and told him when the season is over I’m headed out to go prospecting for a vacation
He told me I should come find him in Georgetown . So naturally I excepted the invite me and the family are headed up there today to relax and do some panning. So I’m doing me (research) and found your channel! Thank you for sharing this was an amazing video and one could only hope to have enough time in life to get out and make this an amazing hobby . I’m originally a stacker and have a small channel in an amazing community on YouTube. But prospecting is in my blood and my passion today will be my first major prospecting outing .
Subbed like and commented. Thank you bro
