This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
    Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...

    dude honestly, i’d love to see you do like a one week challenge, where you go on a river with your camping gear some batteries the sluice abc some tools and you just film a bit but mainly work a full “working week” of looking for gold. it would be interesting to see how much you get and the adventures you’d get up to. and how much a week worth of prospecting equates to a weeks normal wage for a week....anyway love you dude

      I would also love to do this. At the moment it's not possible because of my commitments.
      At a guess I'd say 5 days would be around the 8 grams or around the $740. If I could hit my average takes.

      @@VoGusProspecting absolutely brother, it’s the way of the world, commitments are commitments, but we love you and all that you do. and love the energy you bring. i never gave gold a second thought until i saw your vids, but i grew up in the desert and found quarts with a reef through it. and through your videos my goal is to go back and find some more, an adventure. so thanks brother.

    What I love about your videos is two fold, your enthusiasm for a hobby you love and the fact it’s not only about the money. Although having a hobby that pays you must be nice most hobbies cost.
    Keep making these great videos and give Fern a scratch behind the ears.

    I worked a spot for a few hours and found about a point, walked up the creek and saw a crevice that I couldnt just walk away from, I managed to find a whole gram in 5 pans, one of them held 0.87g with a 0.69g chunck.
    Well done chris, i recon griz definately played his part in your success.

    Hey Chris, first time, long time. With regard to your water pump, you can get a fuel tap off ebay that incorporates an on/off switch, therefore, idiotfroofing flooding the motor.

A lot of motors, that don't have a fuel pump, foul up if you forget to turn the fuel off. This tap/switch prevents this problem. Cheers
