California Gold and Platinum Nuggets – Where They Were Found (Locations Given)

California Gold and Platinum Nuggets – Where They Were Found (Locations Given)

The gold and platinum nuggets in this video were found in the hills of northern California during many prospecting adventures in many different areas. We take a look as some of these finds and where the gold was found, along with some background into each discovery. Gold is not easy to find by any means, it takes years of dedication and looking in the right places along with a little luck and much hard work to locate finds like these, but sometimes it’s purely luck! Join me as I share some of my golden journeys into the mother lode region in search of gold and adventure!

    Вопрос автору ролика из России. Скажи пожалуйста- твои приключения это хобби или средство зароботка? И какие разрещения требуются от ваших властей на подобную деятельность? Спасибо.))

    12:30 am searching for commercials rewatching videos 🙃……drooling over gold

  9. Tom Heater on November 29, 2020 at 9:34 pm

    Hello Jerry, 1st time commenting. About the first place you shown; Now i know why there’s no gold left there….because you were there! Lol, enjoy watching your vids and really like this one. I’m in Sacramento and go to the hills often (weekends) hope to catch you guys one day up there.

  10. Jan Skýpala on November 29, 2020 at 9:37 pm

    You are making totaly different job than other gold hunters but excelent way how to show other people something about this magic hobby! I can hear many true thoughts in your telling… Thanks from Czech republic! Wish you and your friends all the best. Please keep on this way. John

  11. Phyllis Parmenter on November 29, 2020 at 9:38 pm

    Jerry,
    Nice to hear you recap your early prospecting career. Also, when you warn people it is HARD WORK!!! I think from what I have heard in a lot of these videos, many prospectors want to glamorize finding gold and they just cruise to their favorite spot, grab their pan and find gold. You are being a lot more REAL AND I ADMIRE YOU FOR IT. YOU’RE THE BEST. Much ❤️ Love and keep on pick in’.

  12. Julie Dancliff Whittemore on November 29, 2020 at 9:41 pm

    Blessings to you my friend !!!
    This is my neck of the woods- I’m the adventurer “Diggerchic” ❤️
    hope to see you in our trails🙏

    That’s a lot of really nice looking shiny gold Brother. You are finding some really Awesome gold. One day I would like to do some Prospecting in the wild one day. Right now I’m purchasing paydirt online but I’m learning so much watching everyone’s videos. Thank you so much for sharing. You and your family stay safe and healthy Brother. Keep doing what you are doing and have a great and blessed day Brother.

  20. Bill Drake on November 29, 2020 at 9:46 pm

    Nice video Jerry. I hope one day to get out there for a little prospecting vacation. Being from Maine, I would be spoiled with the gold out there. There’s gold here but extremely sparse. You get more in a average test pan than most here get in a wknd of hard labor. I enjoy your videos and hope you keep making them.

  21. Rick B1 on November 29, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    Love this video.

  22. John Schotanus on November 29, 2020 at 9:49 pm

    Like friend indonesia☺☺☺👍❤

  28. christian smith jr on November 29, 2020 at 9:54 pm

    I hate the united states. With what I’ve witnessed here already I know americas not good enough for me and that it’s best that I go somewhere else where they dont have a 40 year record of spies destroying my entire life illegally. The courts know what’s been stolen from me and they won’t do their jobs

  29. Jay Rev on November 29, 2020 at 9:55 pm

    I’ve literally dreamed about doing what you do!

  30. Joseph Pecoul on November 29, 2020 at 9:55 pm

  38. Jason Osborne on November 29, 2020 at 10:03 pm

    Awesome videos, Jerry! Pretty new to California, and we are looking forward to running some dirt through some pans, and digging in some crevices. Would love to join you if you do a group meet, or something similar. Thanks so much for the awesome content!

    Absolutely amazing brother . I’ve been out fighting wild fires for most of the 2020 fire season which has just ended I meet a good brother on these fires and told him when the season is over I’m headed out to go prospecting for a vacation
    He told me I should come find him in Georgetown . So naturally I excepted the invite me and the family are headed up there today to relax and do some panning. So I’m doing me (research) and found your channel! Thank you for sharing this was an amazing video and one could only hope to have enough time in life to get out and make this an amazing hobby . I’m originally a stacker and have a small channel in an amazing community on YouTube. But prospecting is in my blood and my passion today will be my first major prospecting outing .
    Subbed like and commented. Thank you bro

  45. Eduardo Flores on November 29, 2020 at 10:12 pm
