Getting Gold from the American River (filmed mostly in 2018)

Really enjoyed this Cody. Wish YouTube would sort out your frozen payments, you deserve to be paid for this brilliant content.

I ain’t saying he a gold digger, but he ain’t messing with no broke rivers

sometimes its hard to "clean out your closet" glad you finally did it and starting a new time. keep up to good work, hope you find someone to finish this project with =)

Cody, if you put your magnet into a resealable sandwich bag or any other plastic bag (as thick as you can find), you will be able to really easily clean those pieces of black sand/magnetite off of the magnet without having a bunch of those pesky, tiny, impossible to remove pieces of sand/iron, by simply removing the bag. You could also cover the magnet with a sheet of card, and it'll do the same thing.

As soon as it said 2018 and someone was clearly filming him I thought it would be Kanyon. And then he said her name. A bit bittersweet, I'm sure this wasn't easy to relive to edit. But I'm glad it's out there and it's great content as always. Cody is such a genuine person, and it hurts me that he's gone through so much hardship the past few years. But glad to see he always keeps moving forward. Gives me hope to do the same.

i wish i trusted anything in life as much as cody trusts the edge of that container

Loved the "One pandemic Later" card. I feel like I'm going to be using that as an excuse for getting to stuff late for another decade probably.

This one hit me in the feels, keep being yourself man!

I love how Cody works on time lines that span years. Most of us can't remember what shirt we wore yesterday. Keep at it, you are an American original!

"Old" footage or not I always enjoy your videos, people like you make the world a better and brighter place just by being you, plus you teach people things they may not know while also learning more along the way and I always appreciate how you show even the "failed" experiments. It's really cool that you found other "treasures" aside from the bits of gold, I liked seeing the old bullets and especially the coins because I collect coins, I'm not a "professional" collector by any means but I've been collecting for over 20 years and I've found some gems along the way. I know these last few years have had a lot of ups and downs for you but I'm very glad that you're still around, thanks for another exciting video, Cody!!! Side note: could we have a more recent update on the bees? I know you had to move them to someone else's farm and I understand if they don't want you filming there, just a verbal update on how they're doing would be great.

It's a Cody time machine.

Cody I’m sure this one was tough for you to make. You got through it though and are stronger as a result. We appreciate you! You are one of the YouTubers that inspired me to make videos so just know you continue to have an impact! Anyway, It’s very interesting to see this process and would love to see a part two!

I am glad you have gotten back to mineralogy, mining and prospecting! That was always my favorite part! [number 2 was the explosive stuff]

Holy crap Cody I already know exactly where you are in the video i grew up in the area wish I ran into you at the time i could’ve showed you a couple of good spots let me know if you ever come back i’d love to give you a tour of the area

So glad you're posting! Your videos always make the world a little better and a little smarter.

Hey Cody just wanted to thank you for being one of my parasocial mentors/teachers on youtube over the years. When I first started watching I couldn't even understand half the words you were saying. The stuff you do just looked like something I wanted to do. Been working towards that ever since. Thanks homie.

Happier times for us all.. Stay strong man.

Thank you for this my dude. I hope not too painful to revisit the video.

This is what I’ve missed. Cody, geology and precious metals all together. I really enjoyed this man, this is the original content I subscribed for and think will never get bored of. Absolutely heartwarming :)
