Looks amazing but how did the over 1mm picker get through the sieve? Perhaps I am missing something 👍🏻
There's a hole in the sieve, you can see it on the film.
I am re crushing lots of it because heaps of +1mm rock got through.
@@VoGusProspecting I knew I must have been missing something and thanks for explaining. :-)
I hope you've got a tenement for this reef man if someone finds it your screwed 5 ounce per ton is off the scale man you could make your own mine!!!....
Hi have had gold larger than the screen go threw.I think it has a lot to do with the shaking and shape of the gold..It may look flat and larger but turn it on edge it is not so big.Kind of like trying to figure out how a mouse can get thew a 1/4 inch hole.Baffles me every time.
@@edwardmcbain5730 15 mm is about the smallest hole a mouse can get through assuming mice are basically the same size the world over.
Hot tip Mate, build a hot fire, roast the quartz, pull out of fire straight into a bucket of water. The thermal shock to the rock makes it so much easier to crush.
Yeah but we're in a fire ban area.
Maybe a hot stove could do a bit of the same?
Burning Very Hard Quartz really helps with the crushing. Just be aware of the nasty stuff like arsenic, sulphur Antimony that could be present in your ore.
OBAMFSpike, do you know what a total fire ban is?, because it means no fires unless its a gas stove, so no he can not do what you suggested, this is not supposed to come off as aggressive.
OBAMFSpike, cheers, im a firebug myself, but the Australian bush in dry conditions is just too dangerous, so burning off and campfires are mainly in the colder months
The shovel & gold pan were neat to see. It makes it even neater that you know the history behind them being where they are located.
I love your channel and thanks for the reminder that's what Father's Day is all about.. oh how I miss my dad!
NICE!NICE!NICE!NICE!NICE!NICE! Can't wait for the follow up video. Thanks Chris, really enjoyed. Bring your Dad with you if you can.
I liked this video. Shows you're not in a pre-planned shoot nor do you edit out or just redo the ending of the video later when you get a new scale. Very genuine. I like it.
Truth is a rare thing and I like to keep my channel 100% honest to the experience
Awesome video, Chris......!!! Such a cool connection with your father. I’m excited about the future of Dads Reef.....!!!
Thank you very much for a great video and tips. I prospect with my son and I cherish every minute of our time together. Couldn't get out this weekend due to the virus. Stay safe and I hope you get your views!
That was very impressive for the amount of gold in that chunk of ore ! It's also very cool that you and your father have a shared hobby ! Maybe in one of your future videos you could have your father out there hunting for gold with you .
Brilliant I love seeing ya trips to Dads Reef (and more vids with Grizzley) cant wait to see more
I’m shocked at how many guys run a sluice for gold yet don’t go home with a bucket full of rocks. Where the hells all the gold coming from? ROCKS! Awesome videos brother!
I love your vids. I have prospected all over America for 20 plus years now and you still give me useful info all the time.
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Well done Chris. Chris.
Get back to your dads reef, can’t wait for your next trek up there 👍😉
Congrats Chris. Good luck at Dad's reef.
Great work I’ve never seen you so short of words when that gold started showing in the pan 🤣
Haha, I know right
Awesome story VoGus!! I'm happy for you to have that kind of experience! Prospect on my friend
Hell of a video. Glad you can share something like that with your dad! A good connection with your family can make your life far richer than all the gold in the world... but I still wouldn't mind finding some of that too
Super gold in such a small rock. Loved the video. Can’t wait to see you crush more up. Stay safe
Well done , Chasing Gold has it's own rewards and it is not always the yellow metal !
Great video!! Prob one of my favorites now! Great job! Thanks for sharing!!
The reef is what has got me hooked , thanks for the video Chris, that pan though...holy f
nice video Chris. I look forward to seeing what you produce in the future. keep up the good work Chris.
"Well that's a very convenient number..." 🤣🤣🤣
awesome find Chris i cant wait to see more
great results Chris. put larger rocks in the pot and place dolly on top, put an old towel around the handle to stop chips coming out and strike with a hammer. more effective than heaving the dolly up and down.
Thanks for the video's for our education and entertainment.
Been saving for a gold monster. Well done Chris.
That was amazing sir. no more moldy hats for you, time to get a hard hat. Your a hard rock miner now. Heavy pans brother!
Wow, your videos are great,what an inspiration,I found prospecting when my mamaw gave me her grandfather's gold pan,I thought wow he went out west mining ,but actually he had prospected in central Indiana in the mid to late 1800's ,so there it was I was in a location to search for gold and had my great great grandfather's pan to do so,,the story gets even more interesting,I'll share more another time,have a great day stay happy strong and healthy my friend
Geez that is beautiful host rock, full of mad colours/ minerals, no wonder its full of the good stuff!!
As always great video, what an amazing find. Grizz is a good boy always watching dads back making sure them damn roos stay away. Keep safe with this virus going around and good luck on you next adventure.
You very lucky fella... cant wait to see more from that reef. My old man has passed down some of his old timers gold maps, hopefully i can find something, doubt i will come across anything as rich as that. But my fingers are crossed.
Stay safe mate,
Good Luck & Happy Swingin
Well done sir !!
I used an old CV axle to make a mortar and pestle for crushing small rocks. The cut off shaft is the pestle and the hollowed out cv joint is the mortar.
Chris, your enthusiasm is contagious! It's one of the reasons I so look forward to your videos. And the sentimental value of the location just adds to the whole experience as a viewer. Keep up the great work!
Another great video. Your excitement and enthusiasm is a joy to behold not often seen in other people's videos. My dogs even respond when grizzly barks. Keep up the great work and I hope no one ever moves dad's shovel and pan.
There it is!!!
Dad's a genius!!!
You're an inspiration, Chris!
LOVING YOUR VIDS AND THE HEART YOU HAVE XX
Nice bit of gold from one rock,amazing!!
Just shared it on 2 of pages I’m a member of on Facebook and on my story/homepage and I always watch your vids I’m from N.S.W near Nundle
Excellent video Chris, nice shiney too..!
That floating magnet is one of the coolest innovations I've seen since the tarp dam!
Fantastic!!! Go get the rest!!!
Thank you.
Andy
That's crazy how much was in there!!!! Keep up the amazing videos!!!
I love this video. What a fantastic bit of quartz
Eureka Yeee Haaa..
Fantastic gold..
Cheers Famo59 👍🤓🍺⛏
what can I say....thats insane from 1 small chunk of ore unreal great job Chris
Love this man! My pops taught me his craft and I'm so grateful for all the memories that we made while I learned. Super rad to see his old shovel and pan chilling there. Gave me the feels!
Glad you enjoyed it! We loved finding that
When you are rolling rock you will find quite often that the gold will stick to the end of the dolly. Always brush the dolly off over the pot so as not to lose gold. You will be surprised at how much sticks. I have to handles on my dolly. Makes it easier to control and gives you more power to crush.
Good morning Chris . I had to watch this video several times , then slowed it down to 0:25 and at aprox. 5:52 to 5:54 there is a small speck of gold on the plastic bag , just off of the point of ore , that you are breaking . very close to center frame .
Great story getting greater👍
That's awsome Chris, I'm sure your dad will be absolutely thrilled to see that you found all that gold in a 400g bit of rock, because of your videos i found some gold in a creek by my house that every one told me there was no gold in, I got to prove them all wrong, i even panned out a few tiny bits from the gravel roads around me to, I dont have enough gold around me to make use of the gold monster but that bit of dad reef rock would be a cool addition to my rock collection, My great grandfather was a rock guy and he taught me alot about them and left me a huge collection when he passed away.
Very cool that would be a neat GAW, Hope you get it, all the best Chris .. Cheers from Canada!
Thanks, you too!
Very surprised at all the AU you got.! Put me in for the metal detector and reef rock!! Keep an eye out for claim jumpers like Parker....
This is a awesome video and story. Best of luck my friend and i hope you find huge gold boulders.
You’re onto something there Chris nice work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Great job bud, I really enjoy your vids, thanks for sharing!
Wow oh my gosh that amazing man good luck on ya trip back up to dads reef keen to see the out come 👌💯⛏
The most gold from that rock seems unbelievable to me,but I seen it with my two eyes and still in aaaaaawwwwww! Dig it so we can dig it too! David out.
Great video & specimen, like the new dollypot, get yourself a flat piece of rubber wider than the pot cut hole though the middle so the handle of your dolly can fit in tightly but adjustable for the size stone your crushing.
This should prevent ore from escaping while crushing.
Good luck it can't be far away now. Cheers Craig 🍻
And that gold is absolutely stunning! Cant wait to get a dolly pot made here and crush my ore to see what's in it. Thanks for the great video!
You are so welcome!
hey Chris I find it easier to split quartz and rocks into smaller bits using a lump hammer and a chisel. I also take a lumpy when I'm crevassing and breaking bedrock. You can even bust the rocks and quartz into smaller bits without a chisel using a lumpy mate, nice gold cheers.
That's an awesome amount I can't wait to see what you find next time
Hey, send a lot of Love from Germany to what and how You do things... Give Grizz a hug, Peace
Congrats man that is incredible! Sharing to my facebook so all my friends can check it out!!
That was amazing thanks for sharing. I've crushed samples before have yet to find anything lol.
Well done Chris
Awesome haul from one rock!!
You talking about your dad great stuff!!Nice workout for good gold
Your awesome BROTHER
Great vid. Dad's reef looks like it'll be a great place for you to try your hand at hard Rock minning
You probably noticed but I case you didn’t or for those that don’t know one side of that ore was really flat that means it came off the hanging wall or the foot wall which is the area between the two main most common rocks native to that area so if you can find the hanging wall or foot wall where that came from you can follow it right to retirement. Been watching for a few weeks now and subscribed finally thanks for posting these great videos Chris and keep them coming. Ps maybe check the area you were crushing with the gold monster in case a few pieces flew out of the crusher
COWABUNGA DUDE! That was fun!
OMG I was just as shocked as you as you peeled back to show the gold! Well done Chris! I can't wait to see more of Dad's Reef!
Great video as always! Howdy from the other side of the world, bro!
Shared, liked, and subscribed.
Pretty spectacular day, eh bro? Pulled a nice little picker 2day from Rogue River here in Oregon. Found me some blue clay. Gots the goodies in it. Great vid mate.
Love what U do mate made me wanting to try it myself but been watching slot of your vids U give out good info before I start but equipment cheers buddy
Hello, I love your you tube channel and Im learning a lot from you. Thank you very much. were i live in the most north eastern part of North America our gold here is pretty much the same as Canada and mostly find it in rock or stream beds so again thank you very much and keep though,s videos coming !!! :)
Thanks for sharing!!
Wow. That looks like insanely high grade gold ore. I've got tons of quartz with tiny specks of visible gold on it that I've picked up over the years when brook trout fishing in Cape Breton rivers. I've also found a 6.2 gram nugget, 4.8 grams of smaller gold and a few garnets. I love looking for gold and I'm in the process of buying a big piece of property with a beautiful rocky river where I've found a few pieces already, I'm also gonna get the Gold Hog Piglet Flare high banker to install on my land. I'm gonna try crushing some of my ore and panning it out. Thanks for the awesome tips. Good luck to you and I hope you find a world record nugget.
Wish I had a reef like that... Great vid
Cool information Chris, thanks.
Any time!
OH, My, GOD, that was insane Chris! Congrats on more than one level. As you said, the connection surrounding this location is priceless and truly the real treasure. Gold is merely the bonus and it seems, you've got a big bonus coming!
And Mary is safe so, once again, I gave her a scratch behind the ears!!
Thanks for the mention. Looking forward to it mate.
That is just SO FREAKUNG COOL!!!!
Never done this type of prospecting. Very interesting. The tools aren't that special. The floating magnet is a good idea for speeding up the panning process. Very nice gold. Thanks for sharing.😎👍👍👌👌⛏⛏
Awesome 👍👍count me in and stay safe 👍👍 good luck in your search for the golden nugget 🤠
Nice to have this your Dad. Nice to find out, you have more gold than your scale said, unless you sold it, using that scale.
Haven't sold any gold using that scale luckily
@@VoGusProspecting Good ! Plus, that was a typo, ment Nice to have this (that) with your Dad. Just lost mine a few months ago, age 94. Most used command in the Bible "Fear Not". Iowa, USA.
Dam fine result mate great vid there's more up there for sure good luck getting it man cheers
Love your videos brother gives a guy some hope
Great channel !! I'm new to gold prospecting but this is great
verry cool of you , great vid buddy sweet gold out of that quartz,that was a lot
Hi chris, great video as always mate. Its so good to hear a story of gold building your bond with your dad. Unfortunately i never had that opportunity with my dad as i never knew him, however it has given me the perfect chance to do something with my own son and build on something that he also seems to love. It was because of your videos i decided to go buy my first gold pan. Now we both cant get enough.. cheers mate i really mean it
The Stuff dreams are made of! insanely good..👍
Great video mate. As ever!
Hi Chris, another fascinating video, good news for your Dad he will be very pleased, could you take him with you on a trip? keep up the great video,s Regards Doc Cox.
Oh man! Now that was a crushing video. Can’t wait to see more from dad’s reef
cool find Chris well done
Hi chris I watched a libary DVD great info in that place. You can weigh the gold locked inside a rock so you weigh the rock dry and get the weight and multiply it by 1.9 and wet weight by tieing a rock to a stick then sit the stick on scales above the water and suspended the rock in water then multiply by 3.1
Dry rock 378 x 1.9 = 718 grams
Wet rock 303 x 3.1 = 939 grams
939 - 718 = 221 grams weight of gold worth to make sure if you get a big rock if it's worth your time to clean it up or crush it up let me know if its correct please
