'Picker City' Prospecting in a lightning storm for northern California gold pays off BIG!!!

Join me as I search for hidden gold in the rivers of California to uncover nature's treasures. Watch the excitement unfold as I sift through the sand and gravel, hoping to strike it rich with each pan. Experience the thrill and beauty of gold panning in the Golden State, where adventure and history collide!

Y’all are doin good out there for winter gold. Always funny when you can tell exactly where someone is. Don’t worry I won’t come in and clean it out 😉🤣

Digging the channel, just started one of my own and having a blast. New subscriber and definitely plan on tuning in. Be safe out there.😊😊

Hey, what was the date on that Half Dime you found? Mercury was used in the old days to find gold, you are seeing left overs from those times. Pull it out and have it processed properly, or just keep it. I subscribe to both you and Misha, and a few other of my fellow Northern Californians channels. I am fixing to retire and just spend my spare time in the hills and streams.

Good gold. But hey take the lead out of the river. You through it down. Thanks

Do you put your mercury gold in a different vile, then your clean gold?
