- The Cost of NOT Changing
I've been a full time youtuber and gold prospector for 8 years. Ive had the opportunities to do all sorts of mining, from panning and metal detecting to dredging and mining overseas.
And it's time for expansion.
Its been a long time coming where I make some significant changes to what i do because the costs of staying where I am will be far more than the risks of trying something new.

Hey Chris, there might be 1000s of gold prospecting channels out there but, none of them can hold a candle to yours. My opinion. Thank you for your hard work and the knowledge you share. Rock on!
Dude I just want to say I really appreciate the stuff you put out on spud. Some of the most thoughtful, solid advice I’ve heard has been from some guy on RUclips on the other side of the world making cheap, sometimes useless tools and I love it.
You seem like a good dude. We all could use a little more you’s in the world
From someone that is a bit burnt out, i look forward to your videos and watch them as they come up. Getting a chance to do some prospecting is high on my bucket list of things to do. Best i can manage at the moment is a couple of your slobber bags. looking forward to having a crack at panning them out never done it but watched enough youtube to give it a go. Thanks mate
I have lived by this" if you wake up in the morning and don't want to go through the work day change your job" Ive had a lot of jobs but I've had fun..
Love the vids. I'm a little burnt out myself. 19 years in gold mining working on control systems for those giant processing plants. Newmont if you know from your neck of the woods. Except in nevada. Working on rooting around looking for some gold I can call my own.
I can honestly say it was you that got me into gold panning after many years of saying I should give it a try so thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us here and on facebook. Also bought some of your gold PAYDIRT too and spent the whole weekend learning how use the pan - best time I’ve had with my pants on. Thanks Chris.
Hi Chris. I am 60 years old. I've had my career, raised my family, served my country, and contributed to my community. I've had multiple jobs and paid my taxes. I've done everything that is expected of me. But I found myself either working or recovering from work. I had nothing outside of that anymore, despite a shed full of tools and projects that I just didn't have time or energy for. Until I started watching your videos about 2 months ago. I live in one of the richest gold areas in my state, Some of it within walking distance. You inspired me to get out, get interested and get active. You've inspired me to do things I haven't done in a long time, and stuff I've never done before. From my life experiences, and what I've seen, I can tell you you are doing the right thing, because there is no rewind, no reload from a save game. You've got one shot, and your're doing it. Thanks for the inspiration mate, and the knowledge, experience and motivation you've passed on. And I'm sure there is a whoie bunch of other people who will agree. Maybe one day we will get a chance to share a pipe or two and talk some shit about the world. Peace and good luck.
I think you will succeed at anything you pursue.
Your perspective is truly inspiring.
Love it. Can't wait to see the next adventure, after following you for as long as I have I know one thing for cirtain, no matter what it is with you level of motivation if you set your mind to it you will do it well
I feel ya on that depression thing. 😔
Insightful commentary and reflections.
There could be be millions of gold Prospecting channels, but I would still come back to you -dan and pauly
I believe it was James Howard Kunstler who low-key coined the term "psychology of previous investment" which is the pitfall you describe. Change is scary, which is why most people resist it.
Fantastic advice, I sincerely hope that your future endeavours will work out for you. I hope you keep doing what you love and sharing your journey with us.
While there is a lot of content out there, very little is quality. You must be able to reach out and have the audience want to come back to you. Your content is educational and entertaining. That brings me back. In fact I look for our content on a daily basis. That speaks volumes for your quality in content. Keep up the good work.
Shameless plug or not, your episodes are priceless for the knowledge, honesty, wit and charm. Best wishes for your new endeavors.
For tbose dealing with depression, etc....some days are teeth and toenails, hanging on with all you've got....other days are priceless, easy going and you can be nearly happy.
Pay attention to what makes you happy, and do more of it. Gardening? Prospecting? Reading? Cup of coffee early in the morning watching the sun rise? Value that time, and stash that feeling away for the bad days.
Hugs from someone who's in the same situation....never give up!
Thanks for your golden nuggets of wisdom, Chris. 😉👍
As others have said. Of all the other prospecting channels buckshot is the only other one I watch with any consistency. What has helped me more is your teaching. Sir sweat pants is just fun to watch he helps me to keep trying because he is having fun even if there isn't many specks in the pan.
Amen
I’d just like to say that you are a great guy with a great heart! God loves you and your heart my friend!
This is exactly what I needed to hear today sir. it's hard to reconcile the need to make a change weighted against an investment that has been made up to that point, but ultimately, your happiness and mental health will always be more important in the long run.
You’ve done every type of prospecting I can think of? Have you done the ol’ Klesh urban sidewalk crack/vacuum prospecting?
He did that with Gadzee. I think it was on Buckshot Prospector.
you are great! Thanks for that.
Ty I needed this video
Bro, come up here to Canada and hang out with Pauly and Dan Hurd. 🇨🇦
All I can say is: good luck. I hope you achieve what you set out to achieve.
Wait, this isn't your normal channel... Subscribed here also.
Spud and chill engaged 👍
Ever thought of starting a prosperters apprentice 'school'..
Say 4 nights out on Reedy with yourself, learning the ways of the nugget..
BYO equipment, loaners available..
Would be a good way to teach, do something new, sell your disks, pay dirt, meet the community and you know.. Basically keep being a savage.
I very much enjoy and appreciate your perspective on things. I only prospect a little, but I fish and hunt as well. Getting out away from others and thinking is so valuable.
Chris, you make a lot of sense!
If you want a career, do what you love. You’ll be passionate and happy even if it doesn’t pay much.
Always watch 'til the end Chris
I enjoy these extra ...honestly I think of Spud engineering as a part of Vogus prspecting and don't really seperate the two channels at all...extra thoughtful segments that you put into "what you do" I actually just enjoy spending the time I wait for panikillers to work listening and interacting with you, your channel, and your viewers
Ive done a lot in my life but never really written anything or filmed much and those are two things I am attempting to focus on, writing stories and filming some of the stuff I do...just to see if people like it (I might even get started filming sometime soon)
How's the Gin going?
Yeh, I don’t remember seeing a final product. 😢
Inspirational Mr Bogusis, keep up the great work and appreciate what you put out mate... but just keep following your personal gold trail and thanks for all the laughs!!
Job number 22...that hits home...lol
Excellent video, keep doing what you want , you have a great personality, I’ll watch whatever you produce , I enjoy learning about stuff , peace ✌️
Miller Prospecting is doing your paydirt tomorrow
Miller is a wank.
Just an opinion of course.
A very good message Chris, you don't want to be the guy that hates his job, all the way to retirement, then drops dead. A bad day prospecting, is still better than a good day at work😂
Best wishes
@ Vogus Prospecting - Chris!!! Cheers to your reflections on self motivation and seeking to achieve more from life than youtube clicks.
I will miss you at points I imagine but knowing you are seeking knowledge and not just clicks for cash, that makes it all ok.
RUclips can suck it. More tubers doing this would tell the algorithm to suck it and adapt to human needs, not money math needs.
I don't plug shame. Have a wonderful day!
I like you channel, I’ve learned a lot and someday I will move out of Texas and go to somewhere that has gold!!

0:50 "success is doing what you love, loving what you do, and being true to yourself."
My dad told me that before he said to me:
"You will do well doing 'this'."
😂 3 decades later I'm happy-ish.
And also!! You and Gadzee are the two I watch. I've been watching your channel since 2018. I dropped Pauly and dun hard in 2022 - you kept yourself real and learnt and shared your mistakes with keeping humble:.
No risk, no reward. Also, it becomes the what if?
Chris, we're in our thirties, we're too young to say "back in the day"😂 but I know how you feel
^5!
Some other good advise would be "If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you"
Sudden stopping is adverse to your health
You have done a lot Chris and I've enjoyed every bit of your journey. There been some good times and some sad times. I'll keep watching and laughing. Thanks bud
You do exactly what you were meant to do mate, don't need to justify your decisions we are just lucky your willing to share.
Hey Chris, have you thought about trying to gather your fellow YT prospector friends into a union? Think about it,if you all decide to strike and post on another platform YT would lose millions... Food for thought.
Also...ef YT!
Just be sure to try and not get burned out!
It would be a shame if you had to hurt your opinion of what you are working towards by getting there with to much effort.
I would tell myself to get more education (now I cant afford it), younger it was free.
you could sell me opal :D
I don't have any opal
If so many hours are invested on electric commo, they ain't doing what you do, I'm discriminating with my time
Lots of nice gold but you still haven't found the motherload I will try out those mines that you found a lot of gold at Lester haunted and you haven't done any exorcism
Onlyfans is calling my dude
Shake my money maker
I hate Facebook.
Me too
i've been everywhere man i've been everywhere
do a survival hiking camper channel I''d give you my sub
Chris! Are you breaking up with us?😢
In all honesty, RUclips has trashed the gold places. Certainly has around my areas. Nobody there before, now most of my spots are trashed by grubs attracted by RUclips. Rubbish everywhere. Best way to destroy your area, show people on RUclips. It's a fact. Everytime I asked a grub how he knows about this , everytime from a RUclipsr. So don't complain when your own spots are fkd Mr youtubers.
An old man lying on his death bed was asked,
What do you regret doing in your life,
He said the things I didn’t do
