flunkmaster
Pathetic!!!!
Get a real job and stop wasting your time.
God bless you. What a great video. Thanks for the video. Keep looking. Peace.
optimistic dude. good on him
yo dude, check the channel " the Handegard" and go search in the rogue river up in Oregon, lots of gold there.
This guy rules!
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
Good video! Good attitude!
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!!!!
Great Video.
I am so proud and happy for you babe. I’m glad you brought me.
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
i remember i found a lot of gold. i mean A LOTS of it. i brought it to the pawn shop and it turn out to be fools gold. T_T
Nice video. Good fun to ya!

Before I was a fool looking for gold I was a fool without any!
Like he’d tell on camera if he find any
nice

The real treasure is getting out there in nature and enjoying the hunt. Finding a little gold just makes it that much more fun.
his laugh tho
Would it make sense to use a metal detector in such shallow water?
smoking weed and looking for gold what a great calm day 🙂
Huh huh
I love nat geo best channel
Thousands of people are heading in your direction..
Seams like a good cat ..pray he finds that payoff from his passion for what he loves doing
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.
FIRST ACTUAL GOLD STRIKE NEAR SUTTERS CFORT
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.
I’d love to go back up to the american river in Sacramento and pan for gold like I did in the 5th grade
golden worth shit now it is on the market, you can make a hell of a lot more mining bitcoins,. or hopping on the weed wagon but gold now you can’t make anything nowadays with gold
nice!!!
Dude seems real cool. The world needs more people with his type of perspective on life.
theres more Gold than people think.
They are all greedy,,, Gold means greed…No peace in the world… World soon will collapse
man that guy is so chill. i hope he finds a good chunk
correct and the goverment wants it all. greed.
I wish I knew him
if you’re working a dead-end job there’s no hope like there is hope finding a big lode
great cool, calm and collected video, hope you find the big papa!
wow what i wouldnt give to live that life your the LUCKY one !
For going out there with him looking for gold
Like your video smile
i did some prospecting in the san grabiel mountains CA. and its hard work, but it is rewarding if you pick the right place…
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.
