I am so happy to help a fellow RUclipsr when he asked me to help him out to find a Gold Spot.. Klesh you are a true gentleman and will be more than happy to have you at my camp fire 🔥 in the Goldfields. Cheers Tony.Famo59👍🤓🍺⛏
Love that Tony....he is a really good mate and even came out to see me and Slim..... now this is our king of Gold mining.... can't believe your in the bush with sandals... beautiful Laterite deposition..... the metal is probably a muck sheet..love that course Gold and we hope you crushed your samples down....now imagine how much Gold you could get working all day with a small pilot mill....gets the old blood a pumping huh....Great Job my friend...keep the vids coming and thanks for your support my friend.
Man U are game wearing sandals out there in the bush , get tagged by one of our snakes and gold would be the last thing on your mind ! Cool video but 👌
Yeah, sandals, creeks, and that that is where Tiger snakes live and that unlike most things snake like everywhere that are usually more scared of you than the other way, that stripy pale yellow/black bastard will give chase because he just really hates you.
I love visiting random communities in youtube sometimes to see what other people's hobbies are and discovering what's making people happy. Also, love that people love my home country as much as I do.
They had dredges that used 5000x less fuel and ran 100-200 yards an hour. They got BILLIONS from it in the 1800-1900s. Not sure why they don’t still use them as the cost per yard Is so much lower then standard wash plants.
The one good thing youtube has definately done long term, is to help bring groups of people with similar interests together...great job once again on another awesome video !
OMG & KUDOS for using the "Silence of the Lambs" reference "put it in the bucket" I almost p'eed myself. Ted Levine playing "Buffalo Bill"...... Brilliant one Klesh !
I was in Kangaroo Gully, Nerrina Forest a month ago...i jumped into the gully and started detecting the sides. I came to a small hole some animal had dug up very recently and stuck the small Sadie coil into it...i immediately got 2 specimens in there, but when I detected inside the hole, i found 5 larger bits ranging from .100 to a whole gram of gold, in quartz (which made the total of about 2.5 grams of gold, from that hole). I think the little critter had struck a small deposit or quartz/goldvein, that was so cool!!
The big metal sheet you were standing on is called a muck plate. It's a thing miners put down on the floor of a mine so they can get their ore/overburden off the walls and have a nice flat surface to shovel it off of!! Makes mucking much easier and keeps your ore separate from the dirt on the ground! 🤘
This dude is the Birkenstock King. Walks through jungle and literally mines for gold in them. Another vacation video without equipment failing (Garrett 😥) is a good one. Awesome video! Till next one.
yeah I agree they left a lot behind in this spot. I think they just quit for some reason...not because there wasn't any gold left. Thanks for watching!
Well, the old timers did get get ~25,000,000 ounces down to 1400 metres and recent exploration and trial mining resulted in less than 200,000 ounces for about $400 million wasted dollars. However, the whole area around Bendigo is, in places, a very large (40km^2) low grade deposit near surface, but still up to a gram/ton and worth good money if a town wasn't built on the top of it. The new guys did virtually everything wrong trying to reopen the field down to 2 kilometres depth from bad geochemistry, poor modelling, ill considered drilling programs and wishful thinking from a team of incompetents (estimates are for another 10 million or so ounces at depth as drilling has not yet reached basement). Cut off grades were around 10-15 grams per ton or about the standard good head grade for California. Bendigo has been out of attention recently because of bonanza 50 ounce plus/ton grades on the next major fault structure to the east (Fosterville). The old timers only really put in prospect pits on that line as the highest grade recorded by 1990 was just 4 grams per ton. WA has been in the news too recently with a massive ~15,000 plus ounce specimen/complex found during exploration in a worked nickel mine (currently available for private sale by private bid).
@@Strype13 The biggest obstacle, as it was on most major lines across the golden triangle, was the the actually physically tiny size of an individual lease, the requirement to work it or abandon it (there were well over 5500 covering an area of less than 5 x 8 kilometres in Bendigo), the massive challenge of water inflow control and that while the gold bearing reefs, did repeat at depth, they did so with vertical intervals of up to 250 metres between orebodies. If your neighbour or multiple neighbours on the same line as you on adjoining or nearby leases can't/couldn't make their lease pay (gold at Bendigo went from being rich for 25 metres and then sometimes almost barren for the next 75 metres; in one case, the reef was over 2000 metres long and stoped out (everything mineable removed) with the dimensions of a three story house), then suddenly you are trying to pump their water out too. They simply lacked the technology to manage water at depths over 1000 metres and had to shut down. Deep leads west of Ballarat, virtually all closed well before the resource was depleted. Not all mines in an area were equally rich or endowed, so that when a certain percentage closed, the others, while profitable, had no choice but to cease operating as well. 170 years ago, pumps were pretty damned primitive. The gold did not even near run out and recent geochemistry studies that have been conducted have a remarkable ability to identify enriched/barren zones from drill core sampling. It will be a while before anyone trusts a company wanting to develope or re-open Bendigo and Ballarat as respective prior owners burned institutional (banks), as well as, mum and dad investors just this last time pretty badly. A billion dollars plus, totally wasted by greedy company directors on two seperate enterprises that both had excellent potential at depth to produce an extra 10-12 million ounces at Bendigo (below 600 to 1400 metres depending where you are on the field) and another 5-6 ++ million ounces at Ballarat where the enriched Ballarat east zone dips to the north and has not been drilled below 1800 metres there; more than 800 metres deeper than most workings there. In Castlemaine, fully 20% of the field or one entire north south line has not been mined below about 75 -100 metres as water inflows have not been able to be controlled. There is likely another 4 - 6 million ounces exploitable there. Victoria has massive unmined/unexplored potential but these former 'giants' are obvious targets. There are a host of smaller 20,000 to 100,000 ounce resources that have never been exploited properly or even partially below the water table so quite a number of mined deposits and their surrounds have literally just been high graded at the surface and then abandoned at shallow depth due to flooding and poor ground quality. Last time they dewatered part of Bendigo, they were pumping multiple thousands of litres per minute and it took more than 2 years to dewater one twentieth, or less, of the field down to 1200 metres; just one section of one line out of eight plus lines of reef quartz.
This is the first time I’ve found your channel. I have just been binge watching your videos (I think I’m on my 4tg video now) I like the fact your doing this because you enjoy it and are having fun and not just doing it for views (like some RUclipsrs do) These aren’t videos that I tend to watch, but your pay dirt bucket cane up in my recommended and I’m so glad it did. Much love from England
I could feel the gold fever when you were down in that hole crumbling the mineralization off the wall! What a great time! Thanks Famo59 for putting Shane on that spot, it was a great video!
I grew up about an hour and half south of Bendigo. One day I will get there with a detector. There is serious gold around Kalgoorlie in West OZ but the terrain is like the moon with lots of flies. My friends uncle worked at the open cut gold mine in Stawell. They excavated an old vertical chinese shaft about 150 feet down that had old shovels ect entombed in it. Great vids bro.
Bendigo Goldfields produced over 23 million ounces recorded and a lot more that was not recorded and there is still quite a bit left you just have to put in the hard yards but bloody hell its fun to do i love living in the goldfields :)
Oxidize iron Stone, that's the term I've been looking for to describe what I have discovered here in southern Oregon. I haven't even test panned it yet because I just discovered it on the way out the other day or was that months ago LOL. Thanks for sharing your experience and that is awesome looking ore, and that is a huge return. For about a dozen years now I've been studying plant indicators, and I consider myself pretty much an expert but I've got a long ways to go yet. I was watching one of the RUclips guys prospecting creeks, and behind him I could see damage to the tree behind him and other trees and I let him know that that's where the gold vein is most likely, and instead of thanking me he blocked me. What a bloke. In any case that was some good looking ore you had you're doing what I would like to do which is to go to the Bendigo area of Australia and go through their tour . Thanks again.
I would give anything to be able to mine a cave for gold!!! I would have loved to of lived back in the day when elijay georgia had its gold rush, you can still find alot of gold in the blueridge mountains streams up from my house but would have been amazing back during the boom! I live 30 mins from elijay and about 15 or 20 mins from the base of the blueridge mountains, the streams running through the hills have to be gold rich!
would you get a plane ticket and go to the location the guy was at in this video? thats all you have to give to mine gold, much less then the "anything" you described:P
Klesh you’re a madman! Digging in a frikkin cave with spiders in Australia while wearing flippers man! Didn’t you know they have top ten deadliest spiders on that continent!
Don't forget about literally every snake there can kill you as well. I have a "flipping logs in the Australian outback looking for snakes" video on my Patreon. Amateur herpetologist here BTW, not a profession just a hobby.
That's what that metal sheeting on the ground was originally used for. That's a great idea and of course if I had something I would've done so. Maybe next time I'm in Australia, if I'm in the area, I'll remember to do so. Thanks for watching!
The piece of metal you were standing on I think is called a slipsheet used to catch what ever is mined so a shovel or slush er could run smoothly on the slip sheet. Or it could of been a false floor and you could have been at risk standing above a deep mine shaft hundred of feet deep but it did not look like a big mine so most likely a slip sheet. Also slip sheet makes muking (shoveling) after blasting much easier.
I'm not far from Bendigo. My local creek has plenty of gold in it. Unfortunately, I rarely get a chance to go panning. Last time out, I pulled 0.8 grms. Wouldn't mind getting back at it at some point. Watching videos like this helps with motivation though.
WOW! I have a rock I picked up from a strip mall rock garden in Northern New Jersey. Seems to have the rusty iron streak you talk about with milky like "cake filling" type layers of I guess quartz. Never shined a light on it but no shine to the naked eye. Could it have gold if busted up? Just liked the look of the rock, never thought anything of gold.
Apart from that 10 year drought that went on for ages and the water storages were not all that full and the Murray was empty. The water restrictions that never stopped... The southern part of the State south of the divide, does get pretty dismal, I'll grant you that.
Thats Right cross the big pond and come and find all our Gold :) Did you come over in 2009 as well 😆 Great to see you Having Some Fun and love your safety boots 😂 ✌😆👍💛💛💛
just before you started digging in the mine straight ahead when you shined the light I saw several spots shine back at the camera loooked like there was some flecks of gold in there. Go back in there but be careful in there. Good Luck !
Shane it was awesome hearing your excitement, guessing your already planning your next trip out here! Hope Australia was all you hoped for, and after a few years you start to get used to the heat!
Hey that was cool. I'm in South Australia and not many great places to go out and give it it a shot, but Bendigo must seem promising. I've wanted to to give it a shot for a while now, may be after the next big rains i'll just take a pick and a pan and get muddy. Even if I find a single speck i'll probably scream out EUREKA!.. looks like fun.
That metal you were standing on was probably an old skid plate; they're laid down on mine floors to help the miners shovel debris easier. But that's just a guess - that was a pretty small mine, so who knows what it really was.
Only recently found this channel from my recommended, saw something about Australia. instant click. not exactly a rock guy but still interested. somewhere around the moruya area theres some good gold spots, especially for panning. nice videos!
i was worrying about you going in that hole after seeing how easily some of it was falling away on the outer edge. Claustrophobia exists for good cause lol
Not ganna lie I had abit of a giggle when you said " i didn't know there wouldn't be water out here". It's the Aussie outback not much water anywhere lol. I'm born and bred in inland Queensland and when you go out bush you don't usually find much water
in the right area's of cenral victoria australia, they find huge nuggets, it is the gold nugget capital of the world, the state was built on gold in the 1800's and the is a resurgence with modern equipment, even re-prospecting what the old timers left behind is still profitable there is so much gold in that palce ?

They had dredges that used 5000x less fuel and ran 100-200 yards an hour. They got BILLIONS from it in the 1800-1900s. Not sure why they don’t still use them as the cost per yard Is so much lower then standard wash plants.

Nice one mate, love the safety boots/flip flops😁
mate you found a spider
i live in australia
A lot of chunks were missing the bucket...maybe put down a drop cloth so you won't miss any of the detected ore.
That's what that metal sheeting on the ground was originally used for. That's a great idea and of course if I had something I would've done so. Maybe next time I'm in Australia, if I'm in the area, I'll remember to do so. Thanks for watching!
You should go to Beechworth they have gold I found some there
Beechworth has the best bakery , bee stings and flat white 👍
It puts the lotion on or it gets the hose again..!!! Good clip lmao 😂

Low key minecraft
The piece of metal you were standing on I think is called a slipsheet used to catch what ever is mined so a shovel or slush er could run smoothly on the slip sheet. Or it could of been a false floor and you could have been at risk standing above a deep mine shaft hundred of feet deep but it did not look like a big mine so most likely a slip sheet. Also slip sheet makes muking (shoveling) after blasting much easier.
Yep you're right!
I don’t understand this type of stuff so when he was like WHOAAAAAAH I was like what the freak do you see
Just started watching you today and love your videos, good old Bendigo!! I am very close to that town, thank you for the vids keep up the good work!!
Thanks. Yeah I really enjoyed my stay in that area of Victoria I can't wait to return!
silence of the lambs!
good reference. (edit) i would love to mine gold.
Haylord same!
I'm not far from Bendigo. My local creek has plenty of gold in it. Unfortunately, I rarely get a chance to go panning. Last time out, I pulled 0.8 grms. Wouldn't mind getting back at it at some point. Watching videos like this helps with motivation though.
Wut u selling for i looking for a new seller i havent smoked in ages
@@jaw.sb.9187dude, you're thinking of the wrong kind of nugget
Minecraft has entered the chat
WOW! I have a rock I picked up from a strip mall rock garden in Northern New Jersey. Seems to have the rusty iron streak you talk about with milky like "cake filling" type layers of I guess quartz. Never shined a light on it but no shine to the naked eye. Could it have gold if busted up? Just liked the look of the rock, never thought anything of gold.
Ayeeeee
Don’t mine at night
The zombies and skeletons will come I was thinking about Minecraft the whole time anyone else
i could've used a creeper explosion, knock some of this gold ore down for me
i think to harvest the stuff while mining outside ex: 4:48, you can use a tarp to catch it easier
I agree Jack Sparrow, and thanks for watching!
@@Klesh Your Welcome!
Nice mesa biome! Can I tp to your coordinations?
Sure lOL
We better work it out by cynide system by spraying water above that looks pretty good
Victoria is far from being a dry state in Australia.
I agree that linux guy, and thanks for watching!
Apart from that 10 year drought that went on for ages and the water storages were not all that full and the Murray was empty. The water restrictions that never stopped...
The southern part of the State south of the divide, does get pretty dismal, I'll grant you that.
Australia geologist paradise
I agree kevin murray, and thanks for watching!
Love your videos!! Come check out some of the gold I've found in AZ with the GM 1000! Thanks Man!
When scanning the rock in the bucket, do you get signals from the metal handle 🤔
It's like using xray in minecraft
What a shame..
Thats Right cross the big pond and come and find all our Gold :)
Did you come over in 2009 as well 😆 Great to see you Having Some Fun and love your safety boots 😂
✌😆👍💛💛💛
Thanks browndog prospecting glad you enjoyed it!
Should of brought a Tarp to catch yur diggins
Good Idea G Z W! Thanks for watching!
Tip, set a blanket down to ensure you catch everything that falls when using the pic axe
Good Idea Slump Gawd! Thanks for watching!
Can I have the location pweezz ? sharing is caring 😊
Only with permission of the finder..and I do not have permission. Sorry!
just before you started digging in the mine straight ahead when you shined the light I saw several spots shine back at the camera loooked like there was some flecks of gold in there. Go back in there but be careful in there. Good Luck !
There's lots of gold in there I missed after the light went out, I do plan on returning !
Shane it was awesome hearing your excitement, guessing your already planning your next trip out here! Hope Australia was all you hoped for, and after a few years you start to get used to the heat!
Thank you Steve Pratley!
3:47 amethyst little over the buket
Nice!
Haha the silence of the lambs reference made me cackle.
it puts the lotion on its skin
KleshGuitars that movie is the best.
Hey that was cool. I'm in South Australia and not many great places to go out and give it it a shot, but Bendigo must seem promising. I've wanted to to give it a shot for a while now, may be after the next big rains i'll just take a pick and a pan and get muddy. Even if I find a single speck i'll probably scream out EUREKA!.. looks like fun.
That metal you were standing on was probably an old skid plate; they're laid down on mine floors to help the miners shovel debris easier. But that's just a guess - that was a pretty small mine, so who knows what it really was.
I agree Losat Plays, and thanks for watching!
Looks like the place where they found the most significant nuggets in the world!
It is the same place
Only recently found this channel from my recommended, saw something about Australia. instant click. not exactly a rock guy but still interested. somewhere around the moruya area theres some good gold spots, especially for panning. nice videos!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good stuff. I've worked material that look vary much like that here in New Mexico. The Grounds in the area are every bit as Red with iron as this was.
Nice!
i was worrying about you going in that hole after seeing how easily some of it was falling away on the outer edge. Claustrophobia exists for good cause lol
Not ganna lie I had abit of a giggle when you said " i didn't know there wouldn't be water out here". It's the Aussie outback not much water anywhere lol. I'm born and bred in inland Queensland and when you go out bush you don't usually find much water
in the right area's of cenral victoria australia, they find huge nuggets, it is the gold nugget capital of the world, the state was built on gold in the 1800's and the is a resurgence with modern equipment, even re-prospecting what the old timers left behind is still profitable there is so much gold in that palce ?
