Pathetic!!!!
if you’re working a dead-end job there’s no hope like there is hope finding a big lode
Would it make sense to use a metal detector in such shallow water?
try less then 1% gold has ever been found
Good video! Good attitude!
They are all greedy,,, Gold means greed…No peace in the world… World soon will collapse

I’d love to go back up to the american river in Sacramento and pan for gold like I did in the 5th grade
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
Seems like a nice guy, I wish him the best of luck. You worked very hard!
wish i was there, i love the water,.
Before I was a fool looking for gold I was a fool without any!
theres more Gold than people think.
would you prospect for gold all day to find $100 of gold , ( digging for gold is back breaking , hard labor) or
work a job making $100 a day ?
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 wish I knew him
Like your video smile
smoking weed and looking for gold what a great calm day 🙂
man that guy is so chill. i hope he finds a good chunk
yo dude, check the channel " the Handegard" and go search in the rogue river up in Oregon, lots of gold there.
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
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.
You ever use a metal detector?
I love nat geo best channel
Dude seems real cool. The world needs more people with his type of perspective on life.
FIRST ACTUAL GOLD STRIKE NEAR SUTTERS CFORT
The real treasure is getting out there in nature and enjoying the hunt. Finding a little gold just makes it that much more fun.
