The Lost Canyon of GOLD
We head off on a excursion miles into a vertical canyon, deep in the California wilderness in search of a long lost canyon claimed to be one of the richest placer deposits in the mother lode region! There was once a entire city and over 5,000 miners working these hills and the rich alluvial deposits abundant high and low.. No roads in or out, only a historical pack mule trail hardly maintained.. What will we find? Better grab some popcorn and come with us to find out!

You guys ever get poison oak on these trips?
I’ve spent the last season looking for a new claim, something closer and family style. Found it too! But you just reminded me that I love to explore new areas. I’ll work the dirt this season but next year I’ll be poking around again…
Not saying where you are is lame
Great spot..really enjoyed your video..keep at it mate. you will hit the mother load!!
i like the solitude ~
Outstanding, Crackin video Thank You!

Really very nice spot with history. Nice . Greetings Goldjunge Tom
Wow. The Turks cap lillies and the little cascades. Lovely
Now that’s a spot!

Sweet shiny Jerry and what an amazing location to work on. Cheers for sharing, happy hunting Alicia & Steve
Nice place
Hi California Mother Lode Prospectors , I wish that I could come up too California right about now , because the earthquakes are probably opening up places where it could expose or shake loose any kind of gold or maybe even a motherlode ! 👍😃
Nice work guys 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Picker canyon
Maybe next time u guys
Near creak
Solid video..you’ll all get more gold next trip..your on it now..
I got me excited when I said let’s dig then they fired up that hill hickey music
That really was one of the most beautiful places in the motherlode 😮
Those wildflowers were gorgeous..
I wish I’d have made it to that one..
Looks like a great place to detect : D nice gold Eric!! That was a beautiful picker 🤙
I always wanted to do that do u guys happen to teach people. If you do i wpuld like to contact you guys. Thank you
Did the native Americans had any interest in gold??greetings from Holland 👍🇳🇱 wish state you are in??
Awesome video man. It was like pioneer pauly meets dances with wolves. You saw some color so you gotta get back to the area. It reminds me alot of a spot on the american river ive been too
Great video jerry ⛏
Looks like some fun that place is beautiful
Sacramento right?
Jerry,
You always find beautiful places to do your prospecting videos. And I truly enjoy your choices. It’s like I put myself in your video. I can’t prospect for gold but I can set on the side of the river and dangle my feet or just watch the water go by and enjoy the BEAUTY. Thanks for the beautiful surroundings!! You’re the best ❤️❤️!! Go get the GOLD🤩🤩🤩🤩
That plant at 6:49 is amazing! To take one home and propagate them.
God bless America 🇺🇸
About made me want to break out my banjo is start beating it on the ground
Emigrant gap is such a beautiful place.
Oh the historic G.V!! I’ve been reading history about the very same area you are in! I’d like to link up some time… Maybe take me to pickers paradise ? Jk I am thinking of starting my own gold/mineral prospecting channel. The gold is not as good as yours. Luckily I’m in a fairly gold rich county near the mountains of Washington state…Great content Jerry -Gold Pan Dan-
That was some beautiful land, imagine building a cabin on top of the hill 😍 awesome video
That was awesome. Thanks for posting it….
Good video. How long have you been prospecting for gold?
Because you had gloves on an your scent might not of got on those eggs, Mamma might take em back. I failed with Turkey eggs one yr. Fantastic vid, theres still beauty in Calif
Hard to find good gold on big water!
You do research and then don’t follow your leads?
Good observation about the hydraulic pits.
Very cool
I’m not good with heights either and wouldn’t even be able to get down that hill unless I was holding on to something or on all fours!!!😂😂😂😁
Emigrant gap is such a beautiful place.
Love the historical diggins! Looks like they worked benches, maybe try some high banking or run sluice in the springs up in the high terrace cobble deposits!
Great Video!
Tell me my big money that died he walked his ass off for a little big money
Hell Yes. Jerry you took people all around the world on an adventure! Gold be damned, it was so awesome to see that place, to have someone share it with me! Thank You! Really great video, you must GO BACK : D when the water is lower and warm enough to swim in. Drag Top Cats ass up there! Hell I wish I could go too! I will swim in anything!
Thank you for another great adventure. And, thank you for using the bleep button to be respectful and keeping the language family friendly. I have never seen snake eggs; that was cool too.
Sweet Peas and then Tiger Lillie’s at 6:40! Nice! man its pretty back in there!
I know another you tuber that prospected that area he did very well just about 200 yards up river there he got almost 10oz
Looks like a great place for prospecting… California’s gun laws keep me here in southern oregon absolutely hate California and all it’s insane laws.. You know as well as i do lots of gold here in my backyard and my ar15 and pistol can go with me.. I’ve ran into the craziest people out in the woods with all the illegal grows and meth labs … Looking good in your pan…
