Finding Gold at a Historic Mine, How Much Did They Leave Behind?
Finding Gold at a Historic Mine, How Much Did They Leave Behind?
We follow two modern day prospectors Jerry and Mike on an adventure into a forgotten canyon, rich in history and gold. It is quite a trek just to reach this place, and the journey in tells many tales of hard lives lost, hard work put in, along with forgotten workings and relics of a golden era. It’s obvious there is was good gold here, how much is left is what we came they to find out..

Yep Bird feather .lol
Can I go gold panning with y’all sometime I live in California
excellent video keep it coming.
That "Tiny gravestone" at 2:30 is a foot stone and is common in pioneer cemeteries. When you encounter a large pillar type headstone with inscriptions of dead on all four sides of the interred-they are usually layed out with the graves singly away from each side and the head of the interred close to the pillar and the feet away from it and some have the foot stones left intact like the one in the video.
Wood pecker
turkey feather
👍👍👍
Pretty sure that grave stone said 1856
Comment #308. I do confirm that’s an "owl" feather
Really enjoyed this adventure Jerry and Mike. Kind of a prospecting/archaeology/genealogy mission. Really thought the graves and the old mining equipment were interesting. There’s a lot of history there. Thank’s guy’s.
pretty sure that was a tickle fetish feather
its a turkey feather
I really enjoyed that one! Besides the great chucky gold, I think what makes some of the videos so enjoyable for me is how well you and Mountain Mike get along. Thanks for sharing that adventure! 👊⛏ ✌️
i have subribed your channel re-back it
Mike has VG in his crack…. My wife and i hadca good laugh at all of that. We may have been cooped up in the house to long. Great vid!
Oh wow love the pyrite crystals! You really found some cool stuff there Jerry and who could ask for a better way to isolate from the virus. Thanks for another great video. Big nuggets to you!
There was a lot in this video thanks. again.
I believe you found a very rare flying Zebra feather. It’s like a Pegasus, only smaller with black and white stripes. I am your new subscriber, Ken,and I very much enjoy your videos and seeing all of the gold and scenery. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Turkey, HAMMER DOWN
What a fantastic day up in the mountains! Thanks for bringing us along!

Gentlemen, I’ma new subscriber, but have roamed the Sierras, and have friends that live in Gold Rush country in Angel’s Camp, Sonora, and Murphy’s. Fascinated by the history, and the toughness of the prospectors. Love seeing what you guys pull out of the nooks and crannies…BTW: Slumerican said that was an owl feather. Either that or may have been a juvenile hawk tail feather. They are banded when they’re young,but I may be wrong. Go and get that Shiny!
IMPORTANT! I saw an ad on a crazy cool flashlight. This is on utube NOT THIS CHANNEL. IT IS A SCAM OUT OF MALTA. DO NOT ORDER FLASHX 5
I knew I recognized this spot my brother Keith brought me up there once before sometimes he goes by kaz
Bro , your out in the thick of it . have you ran across signs of Squach?? Teepee, X’s. Or prints ?? Or vocalizations ??
great adventure. somebody out there buy mike a new super sluice. keep up the great vids.
Like Merced river ish
Looks like you’re near Yosemite
It was halfway thru this vid Jerry. Just dont want any other family to get smoked. AGAIN THIS IS A UTUBE SCAM NOT THIS CHANNEL
Possible a chicken hawk . Cooper hawk
Just found your video this morning. Found the graveyard portion very interesting especially the grave of the woman from Busti NY since that’s less than an hour from me in NY.
Fun times as usual I must say. Nice historic finds as well.
bird !!!
trucky
Good info.
Mike I’m still holding out for that pizza recipe. Help a man out.
It’s a woodpecker feather🤔
American turkey
I love you 2 characters! That’s a Great Horned Owl feather for sure
Looks like a Cooper hawk but odd to see one in the mountains
Not Owl, not Turkey and not Woodpecker, definitely Hawk feather, possibly Cooper’s or Marsh Hawk.
That is a great horned owl’s feather.
Grouse feather. Cool vid
Chicken
Hey man love the vids, Turkey feather I believe
Watching the FGW led me here lol great videos
The feather is from a larger size of woodpecker, like a redheaded variegated woodpecker or a hawk’s belly feathers. I think.
Know I’m late… Turkey it be…
pheasant feather
that is a red tail hawk feather from a wing
