    though I had some problem with sea water It also ruclips.net/user/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

    Hi Chris. You look completely different to what you looked like the first time I watched one of your videos; You seem SO much stronger, very much more relaxed, optimistic, & happier. History conceals as much as it reveals. The truth is - there is gold everywhere, it's all around us in every country...

  • @saltynugmonster2235

    Out of all the gold channels on RUclips I watch, yours is absolutely the best. I especially appreciate the detail you put in on not only the search but also the processing. On other channels they will show finding the specimens and one is lucky if they process it and show the gold. You not only do that but also include the local values of what you find at the end of each video. I would only suggest that you expand your reach and upload your videos on other platforms like Rumble, there are apps that will upload your youtube vids to those other platforms at the same time you do it to RUclips. Think about it cause youtube is losing viewers to other platforms like Rumble because of the deceptive business practices and censorship.

    That hill was way steeper than the video showed. I would be interested to know what the gully's created by rain do for collecting extra gold. Would also be worth looking on the uphill side of the base of large Gum tree's or dead tree's. The roots may well act as a trap.

    Hey Chris. Congrats on finding a great spot to detect, always fun. I would definitely recommend looking at each piece of ore under magnification, because you never know how much microscopic gold it can contain. I found an 18 gram piece with my metal detector that had 10 grams of gold in it. according to the specific gravity test. All of the gold was microscopic. There were millions of specs in it, enough to turn the rock gold when I looked at it in the right angle. Rinsing out the sediment to make for easier panning would have lost a lot of my gold, it was suspended in the water. I literally let the pan sit for 15 minutes, then rocked the pan back and forth and a new line of gold would appear that I snuffered up. I repeated this process 10 times before I stopped getting gold. So far I have recovered 6 grams of the gold, I think the only way to get the rest will be smelting.
