wow what i wouldnt give to live that life your the LUCKY one !
Dude seems real cool. The world needs more people with his type of perspective on life.
correct and the goverment wants it all. greed.
Would it make sense to use a metal detector in such shallow water?
They are all greedy,,, Gold means greed…No peace in the world… World soon will collapse
yo dude, check the channel " the Handegard" and go search in the rogue river up in Oregon, lots of gold there.
it seems so relaxing. I have always wanted to try panning and just spending time at the river. I’m a teen, so life can get stressful and I would like to do that as an eascape rather than for profits. it’s hard to fine *enjoyable relaxing things when you live in a large city like Chicago
great cool, calm and collected video, hope you find the big papa!
For going out there with him looking for gold
Aliens possibly inhabit Coloma, in Human disguise and in underground bases
Seems like a nice guy, I wish him the best of luck. You worked very hard!
Seams like a good cat ..pray he finds that payoff from his passion for what he loves doing
his laugh tho
nice
flunkmaster
smoking weed and looking for gold what a great calm day 🙂
Pathetic!!!!
What an awesome guy! If he didn’t strike it rich during the drought, I hope the flooding rivers and breaking dams wash-down many awesome treasures to him. peace.
Like your video smile
try less then 1% gold has ever been found
I wish I knew him

Good video! Good attitude!
nice!!!
theres more Gold than people think.
Before I was a fool looking for gold I was a fool without any!
Funny how people can criticize gold panning like the earth is crying out in pain from it, or something, and still not see how they themselves are overlooking what they could be doing to reduce the damage to the environment that they cause all by themselves. I wonder what some of them think they’re doing when they fertilize their lawn, ride a snowmobile, or take out their garbage.
wish i was there, i love the water,.
if you’re working a dead-end job there’s no hope like there is hope finding a big lode
FIRST ACTUAL GOLD STRIKE NEAR SUTTERS CFORT
Huh huh
Like he’d tell on camera if he find any
I am so proud and happy for you babe. I’m glad you brought me.
Nice video. Good fun to ya!
optimistic dude. good on him
man that guy is so chill. i hope he finds a good chunk
Some people have lousy poker faces this guy already found a mess of gold he’s trying to downplay the whole the snorkel miningthing like he hasn’t found nothing major when you know he has
I know this guy!!!!! I was with him today and he taught me how to pan gold! I found some gold and as payback promised to watch this video and show all my friends so he cn get paid when he gets more views!!!!
Thousands of people are heading in your direction..
I love nat geo best channel
The government put some gravel to the street close to our house before. I saw some gold pieces and never knew that it was real gold. I was like 13 yrs old that time.
Great Video.
I’d love to go back up to the american river in Sacramento and pan for gold like I did in the 5th grade
Get a real job and stop wasting your time.
i did some prospecting in the san grabiel mountains CA. and its hard work, but it is rewarding if you pick the right place…
The real treasure is getting out there in nature and enjoying the hunt. Finding a little gold just makes it that much more fun.
This guy rules!
