Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. 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...
When you see REAL gold in the pan for the first time, it is unmistakable. There is no other.
Chris, I'm not sure I understand. Maybe you should send me that stuff in the little bottle so I can use it for a future reference?!?!?! Hahahahahaha.................. GREAT demonstration...
I've found neat trick out in the field, just use the shadow of your hand. Pass it over the 'subject' if it stays yellow ... GOLD!
Thanks for the videos Chris I have learned so much and even have found me a bit of gold here in Colorado and I’m getting better every time I go prospecting. Thanks again for the videos I hope you can keep making them for us to learn from.
Thanks for sharing Chris
Brilliant! I was fooled my first time out panning.
Thanks for your video, I just play, when i start to try get gold in river. I saw sparkling and think that gold, but i know the differences now.
Thanks Chris. Very interesting.
I would love to just watch the gold pour section of this vid looped over and over! AWESOME!!
Hi all the way from South Africa, always enjoy checking out your vids. Learned a lot from watching you. Cheers and be safe always
In PNG during a certain gold rush in the 90's in the highlands you could not buy a brass fitting within 100k as it was common for then to be filled down and added to cons to fool the buyer - which I was doing on behalf of the landowner who has the mineral rights. As the gold in the region was ~830 fine it was actually difficult to just look at the fine con and pick the difference, My tactic to get around this - don't forget this is in the field gold buying at 10 000 ft - was to insist on doing a pan test on what they were trying to sell to me. The sellers that were honest agreed immediately so no issue, the sellers that knew they were busted said they would sell elsewhere and left quick and the ones that took the chance were shown after a quick dish my concerns and were offered the option to take their material away - no fault no issue. Remember this is in the highlands in the 90's. I used a 14 green and a 10 black and still have them. I like that panning is a powerful skill to learn and is still being displayed. I was buying up to 10kg a day to put it into perspective ,all in cash and had 4 police with shotguns at all times. The majority were larger pieces >2mm that could be hand picked quickly so no drama telling the difference. I used to watch the locals dish and only pick out what they could and discard the rest back into the creek as it was not worth their time. We estimated about 1 million ounces were taken from that field over 5 years and at its peak there were 5000 people. The chopper pilots were paid in gold tipped into a jar.
Awesome adventure Mate Thank you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and please stay safe. God bless you and yours always 🙏

Back in the early ‘80’s vac in California, went gold panning at one of the roadside parks, had a fine pile of fools gold at the end, but I did have a tiny picker of the real thing, such fun!
