nice chunky pickers that one piece of super chunky dude yeah that's a big musket ball - and it's like pristine that's I've never found that before pretty darn cool I might actually let me see it's not a fishing weight it doesn't have like a that's actual it's that's not a like a round piece but it's got some kind of a bump on it I don't know what that is I don't think it's for fishing it does look like a musket ball doesn't don't most fishing at it yeah a little I yep that's pretty cool it's like a skyscraper a rock I'm in the lagoons it's deep down here this thing is super narrow and funneling it out and they're just blowing everything out over here that's why there's good gold down here I want her to come up and check it out see what was going on [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] I'm trying to show you cuz I'm in about chess speed water and it's at the very bottom [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] well it's about maybe 10 11 o'clock I've been swimming around for hours now found one poker not doing very good there's not very many cracks everything's very smooth thought maybe with the lower water it's a lot lower than the last time we were out here maybe there would be a little bit more material and different cracks to work but there's not so I'm gonna move downriver I just came from upriver way up there I swam then it gets really narrow and I had some video of that super narrow and I think it comes down here and it starts to blow out as it widens out and that's why there's a lot of material in here and they've done pretty decent and it seems like it just keeps getting better down there but I was making my way down and my bag all packed up I'm just kind of walking and floating the river down and I ran into our buddy the vulture he made it over somehow to there and now I think he's stuck over there let's go swim up to her what's up dude stuck on that sucks I would totally try to help you but I think you had hurt me so I'm not going to poor guy so weird I don't know what this connection with all the vultures we've seen a dead vulture down there on our last trip that's weirdly enough someone had put a boulder on top of it I got this guy spooked him so bad he flew and did a backflip and landed in the water there wasn't even anything over there I went and checked it out it was just a trash bag looked like someone's camp luckily no dead bodies or anything I ended up making my way down river yet due to the lack of cracks and crevices I ended up giving up sniping altogether pan and I guess just crevice in of some very particular locations then pick and choose my spots wisely it's already starting to get really hot my first pan literally I mean maybe a quarter cup of material I almost didn't even paint anything out of it I just kind of added water it's right there that's why they call it pickers paradise so picker right there let's open it up more I'm gonna try to get underneath this guy here as much as I can okay it's safe to say I was wasting my time sniping is my second pan chunky too pokers and Pickers that's pickers paradise for you well I got a little bit more gold another small crack kind of like what I showed you earlier not as good but lots of littles in there right up there and Justins up here now he came down met up with them and he found Goldy box for me so as soon as this stops paying out imma start sluicing alright I got my best pan of the day I knew I shouldn't have snipe snipe but it's just slowing me down today I've dug it from right here I'm pretty sure just this little spot right here I just broke off this I'm about to clean the rest of that okay yeah think of this all right you put his stuff down right next to it that's how it goes I gotta get wet again I'm starting get hot starting to get hot okay so I just just had that really awesome pan and it came from either that spot or this spot or a crack over here I really don't think it's that spot it's either this one or that one and now we're really starting to think it's this one because it's Hollow and it just keeps going and I was chipping away and I just see a piece of gold I handed it to Justin chunky picnic yeah everybody feel the weight dude how much your ways I could literally feel it it's a thick one those are about the average size pickers out here yeah [Music] is that gonna keep going here [Music] [Music] [Music] I love this crack slow [Music] there's another one [Music] yeah yeah this is like I didn't even dig I just seen it hey guys -
