Once again, going back to old vids, and seeing a Rocker Box !!!
I'm learning so much......thanks again guys,,,,,,mmmm.....hot chips!!
Rewatching some of the oldies to get juiced up! Heading out tomorrow! Wooohoooo!!!
Real good video Chris... You would not believe how many times I have told people it takes flooding to move the gold and to picture the area flooding. Also to go to their spots during all types of water levels and conditions to see how the stream is working during flood stages... Great Video and some nice gold... Keep up the great work...
Flash In Your Pan people don't realise just how dense gold is
I literally was just watching your more recent videos and I had to stop because I need to practice more so I can get out and find some gold like you.
Well I had to stop so I could come watch this one lol
Chris.....that was hands down, your No.1 vid yet mate! Fantastic 👍
WOW! Great video Chris. This was a tasty nugget to find over coffee in the morning!
Thanks for the good info about mudstone!
GREAT video Chris. Really like that you are trying to educate your community to help them find more gold. I also liked the new graphics that you used, and I enjoyed seeing a local animal that WAS NOT a danger noodle. Keep up the awesome work!
George Harbour III lol just a drop bear
I really enjoy your longer videos.
I needed to see this as an area I plan to keep working had a flood about 10 years ago... And it also gets high water every year...
I learn so much from your videos. Thanks for all of your insights!
Great video, LOVE the info , long version, yes
Awesome video Gus >thank You for the great tips
Allen Craig no worries man
Excellent Video your work gets better each time very Enjoyable to watch and Great Gold.
That definitely helps! Learning to read the creek I'm on with the tools you have shared
Thanks for another great vid Chris, very informative presentation, had a nice flow to it. Something for everyone really, a Koala, a bit of bumcrack plus the bonus of some really nice gold! Goes to show how important a distance of not only a couple of metres makes but a couple of hundred millimetres can make or break you as well. After all this time I think Grizzly is still buggered if he knows who you are talking to when the camera is rolling. Looks like you are in for a pearler of a weekend! Keep up the good work mate, love seeing that gold.
Aussie Chris I went back today and within a 1 foot space I went from 3-5 specks per pan to 15-20. Got to check out every change in soil.
Thanks Chris.. i only just got Gold fever after growing up here in ballarat. I've built myself a sluice got some prospecting gear now. cheers heaps for your info man been so very helpful. I panned out about half a gram of flood gold today from the woady yallock creek as i haven't fine tuned the wash bar's for the hi banker feed box yet....which dustin from gold rat saw pic's of and sponsored me with the 8'' Dream matt so look out Gold yewww
Nice work Chris, I think while the creek is running I would use the sluice and the rocker box when water is short supply
Peter Mundy luckily for me it's spring fed so no issues with water 😃
Hi Chris wow mate well done awesome video you really do know your stuff when it comes to gold, thank you for sharing 😀 I'm looking forward to your next one
Nice video mate. Quality gets better all the time. Got into prospecting not to long ago. And absolutely love it. If learnt a butt load from your videos. Keep it up mate.
jimmy mitchell thanks mate. Glad you like them.
OK, here's one for you. I look downstream at a right side bend. Right on it is a gravel bar. I see the lines of big rocks deposited but just before it there arre ridges running parallel to the stream. Pretty long ones. Now, between these ridges like a spine on a skinny horse :-D are dips about a foot lower. The entire gravel bar is about 3 feet above the water. Id appreciate it if you riddle me that guys. Thanks. And oh yes, I've found nice color and one nice flake yesterday.
Great demo mate. Will check creeks in my area with that info. Love the hat as well.
Really good video very educational thank you
I personally have noticed it does help with me with my PTSD pass the word brother
daniel weaver its better than counciling on my opinion lol
Vo-Gus Prospecting I actually refer to it as dirt therapy
Really enjoy your videos..long or short...but really enjoyed the longer format.
BC GOLD me too now. Much more time to do things.
The pool av been digging has paid off so far.av got the 7.5g nugget,a 21.5g gold chain,a pocket watch from the chain,a ring of some sort,an old bullet,loads of other bits and bobs and a few kilos of concentrates to run through some device when I get 1!
Rastaman Ralph you wait till I do my next 'what can you prospect witg' you won't need a device after that.
Well done nice gold and a very informative video, thanks
Adam Morris no worries
G'day! Been loving the channel for last month or so, working back through some of your content.
Yesterday I went out and got myself my first pan, its that same pan kit, before i realised you'd had the same one which is cool. I think i paid close to $80 from Anaconda.
I also got a stainless steel fish bait pump for about $60. Im going to use it for sampling and maybe run it into a small sluice.
Cheers for all the videos, im learning a lot!
1st time , have got to say very well done , thanks dave here
You’re making me wanna get outside and pan lol.
It’s 21°F but we had a few days in the 60’s that melted all the snow. Which makes me wanna look for the flood gold.
J & S Prospecting do it, you won't regreat it.
I got that pan set, just starting and it seemed like one of the better ones. lol
Your old minelab pan looks good still I'll have it if you don't want it. My pan is old I watched it get made 24 years ago in sovereign hill.
Top video .. Great knowledge in how to read the riverbanks ... Good luck 2moro ... Please film it and make it a long one (again, + 25 mins) .... No Gold in the South East of England :( so its great to watch your environment :)
SURREY AL I'm so happy to hear you like it :-)
A correlation provably exists between solar/lunar illuminated views of Earth *as seen from space* and known goldfields across the world. If I'm correct & what's visible are gold/silver ores reflecting light, half of the UK has gold-bearing rocks & rivers. I believe the Staffordshire Hoard relics were made from *locally sourced gold*. I'm also in possession of a series of pin markers which led me to certain places - I'm discovering that they're highly likely to indicate presence of gold; One of the strongest indicators is in the N.E. USA where I coincidentally happen to have a pin marker. *Capital cities spring up where gold is. I think that's because of how *some* of it came to Earth by gold-loaded meteorites that struck Earth's crust creating "smashed glass" effect shallows that water accumulates at = > the reason for people to live there beside large rivers like the Thames. IF I'm right there is much gold in Central England, SE England NW+SW of London, Southern Scotland, NE Wales, NE Ireland, the centre & all round the perimeter of Spain etc.
This is really excellent advise
Chris, you did it man. A longer video. Awesome. I can't wait for the next one. I hope you keep going on that pay streak for a few more videos. I'm loving it.
eugene lysak I did another short one today, same spot but different content.
A great video Chris you said hope to see you out here but we don't know were HERE is I would love to try my new sluice out when it arrives fro QLD I bought a Garret AT Gold but don't know how to work it yet still trying we had a week at Safla but nil find I just love the in-depth way you explain your Procedure I'm only just starting out Prospecting after 50 years in the coal mines Cheers Geoff
Geoff Brown you'd have some experience in mining after 50 years!
Am sure you will be going back to that spot!
Rastaman Ralph tomorrow morning. Lol
looks like your using a go pro session camera I have 2 of them great info and nice flood gold also
bobinmissouri I was! Now a hero Black 6
Awesome show 👌👌
When you hear that a big storm is coming though an area you've been working. Is there a way of going out per-storm and setting up some gold trap areas? Being that you know just about how the water's are going to be running and just about where the heavies should be dropping out. Is there a way of making a man made gold trap so after the flood waters come through you can go out and retrieve the gold that should have dropped out??? Does that make any since to you???
There used to be a tale about people who nailed sheepskins to the bottom of the creek, I don't know if it was truth or a tall story from "popular engineering".
@@lnk3503 ancient Greeks and that area use to do that... Hence some of the legend of the golden fleece...
Lmao.. At the 12:34 mark.. The expression on your dogs face is priceless.. Your dog looks like that when he's at home and digging holes you then get mad, but that why can he dig and I can't dig look..
Nah man, at home all he does is sleep, this was when he was still doing his mining course and he ad to learn how to dig! lol
@@VoGusProspecting lol.. Love it Man... I have a question for you.. I've just found a sweet spot that has a humongous Gravel Bar and my question is, how deep should I dig into a Gravel Bar? I've been working it some and like 2 feet down the gold plays out.. what is the deepest you've gone in a gravel bar and found another spot that had more gold
I’ve got the mine lab painting kit to It’s GOOD and GOOD video to mate
I really enjoy all of your videos “mate”...keep them coming.
Quick question though...
Why do you stop panning for the camera with so much material left in the pan? You know we’re interested seeing the results but you have so much material left in the pan in nearly drives me crazy!
Like I commented in a previous video...watching your adventures makes me want to visit Australia!!
Its about timing, I'm focused on brining a production that's entertaining not always educational.
I could leave all the panning in but it would be come tedious very quickly.
Would love to be digging there beside you!
I have watched this video multiple times, awesome information, I was wondering if u had any advice for finding the pay streak in a boulder field! I have been spending most of my time trying to find the pay streak but it seems to be just small deposits with the real pay streak. Tight up against the boulders is where all the gold is but other then that I'm seeing no definite pay streak! Any bit of info would be amazing for this beginner! Also I target boulder fields because everyone else stays away from The heavy lifting
Ok lets be real. First im a fan, but honest question would be how much would you say on average, in gold you recover? Yearly.
Aaron Leon 2-3 ounces. However, its not about the gold for me, this is therapy.
If I decided that instead of making videos, which eats up time and forces me to try new things like use a rocker box go to certain spots to film, I could probably push that number up to 6+ ounces a year.
But like I said, it's not about the gold.
Aaron Leon oh and this year I'm keeping record of all the gold I find in separate jars and in a diary.
Most new videos have updates on my monthly total too.
I know this is an old video but have u ever tried running dream mat in your rocker box? I saw a guy in Australia bucketing a sluice box with dream mat in it,just curious if it would work in a rocker box,kinda like combining the new with the old.
nice one mate, just got myself the same minelab pan set, how many pans do you think it will take before they are "seasoned"? keep up the great vids!
Bluey 16 not many, normally I put some rough rocks dry in there and just swoosh it around.
Dead right about the rocks mate il be doing a video in a few weeks showing about deposition on beach and drops in water pressure, i can tell where the gold is by the type of deposition caused by pressure drops in flow
I assume t would be similar to reeding a creeks gravels
@@VoGusProspecting Dude come on!!!!! READING!
love your rockerbox.. heavy and cumbersome?
25 min. video HELL YEAH
poeciloteria glad you approve
very informative
Nice vid Chris although your CHIP sampling was a bit sus :). A question to put out there. At what size does a picker become a nugget? Or is anything you can pick up a nugget?
Stu JD a nugget to me Is not about weight. It's about location. If you're in a fine alluvial area and you find a match head sized bit of gold, then that's a nugget for your area.
You should crush that quartz that grizzly was eating by.. I noticed where the sulfides had disolved...
yer man, I was just explaining that to a mate on this creek today!
I just assumed koalas were slow like sloths lol cool wildlife
No they pretty fast!
You should take a hand dredge to the bedrock that you have cleared off. I'd bet that you would get some really good gold off if.
I did later on, was ok gold.
Hey chris got any idea on what to look for when you dont have alot of bed rock in your area
Exactly the same stuff.
R.I.P Grizz..... Good boy
Hey Chris, what do you think of the bazooka sluices?
Jack's Gems I think you'll have to send me a link
Sorry for the slow reply. The company that manufactured the Bazooka range has shut down but an Aussie company basically makes the same thing. www.crocgoldtraps.com.au/ is their page.
If you search on RUclips: Bazooka sluice
it shows them in action and some will explain how they work.
Jack's Gems I've seen them! Not sure what I think of them, would have to have a play with one.
Jack's Gems I think we know how this turned out.lol
Vo-Gus Prospecting definitely! They are fantastic because you can run so much material and increase gold take! I want one!
129 A great prospecting lesson!
if you have a large screen @1:55 there are 2 massive big foot to the left of his face and the left of the creek. even griz knows they are there he is sticking to to you like glue
Yeah I don't see it
Show me that digging screen and sounds please
that grass laying down looks really thick , would gold get caught in the grass ?
I'm exposed roots yes, grass not so much.
nice lookn gold
Correction my friend Its not Grizzly watching Its Grizzly SUPERVISING second cleanout cheers
personla hobby ,non-commercial, all things the same is there more or less gold in Australia than in B.C.?
On a whole more in Australia but way easier to find in BC.
I wonder if there's any rhodium in those black sands, At $8100 per oz you'd think it'd be worth checking.
I dont know, knowing my luck nope.
@@VoGusProspecting I just checked, it usually comes as a byproduct from refining copper sulfates. And is known as the world's most invisible metal. Typical yield is just over a gram per ton of ore. Platinum nuggets you wouldn't miss in the pan, because they're heavier than gold.
How can I enter it Chris ??? for the bag of pay dirt
Geoff Brown the links in the description.
You need a high banker there but Im sure you already know that.
I love chicken n chips And fish N chips with vinegar. Oh yeah sorry I got the munchies from my meds it all ways get s me ..lol. Take some shrimp wrap them with bacon and a pice of green chilly With a tooth pick
Mix honey , teriyaki , pineapple juice mix in a bowl sweep on the mix on the shrimp 🍤 mum
This puts another light on shrimp on the Barrie !,,, mate enjoy serve over white or fried rice... ,,
And dust it wit fine gold dusting for effect...lol. Cheers ,,
I would love to live down there f.all gold to talk about in UK rivers.
Dude, your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car!!!
MAJESTIC1 actually its on the 'right' side. Lol
HAHA.. LOL
important warning for city dwellers and overseas visitors!!! never approach those creatures. you can never tell if it is a friendly koala or a incredibly dangerous vicious drop bear.
😂
Caution, drop bear at the beginning.
Shawn32671 may fall on face
Too funny, I hear a lot about people visiting Australia and warned about "Drop Bears" aka Koalas and how it's a huge joke, love it.
