Great video dude nice pickers in there. Probably mercury. Take a blow torch and lightly go over it from a far. This will make the mercury evaporate make sure you are up wind.

So how much was that amount of gold worth?

hi jess, nice gold! I take it that nobody can claim on the Feather? So pretty much the whole river is open? Next time I'm in Cali I'm definitely headed for the Feather!

Nice pickers, Jess! What part of the Feather are you at? I mentioned before my Mom lives in Paradise I might head up there this year. She mentioned Butte creek but I'd like to check out the Feather too. I know a lot of the roads, skyway, etc.

I don't know 10 or 20 dollers worth id say.. I dont' think its a gram. Maybe a .33 of a gram maybe a little bit more.. Not to bad for a few hrs though.. :)

@hixonAu I will try. Its been so hot and with the water so low it makes it tough not to want too hit it again.. Its about a 100 to 200 yard hike and its pretty step.. But i bet the flood gold is everywere..
