That's why I took my kids and now take my grandkids out into the wild every chance I get. There is nothing better than sitting by a campfire with the woods to your back and the shore of the lake you just caught your dinner from right in front of you. I want my grandkids to remember these times at camp the same way I remember every campout my father took us kids on. Happy memories, indeed.
I finally went out panning again last weekend and I had the best time! Didn’t find much but being out in the bush after months was such a good feeling! Such a great hobby!
Hello Chris, Great to see you back in the field. I've adopted the floating magnet and black sand probe, both work! For breaking up tough grass a pitchfork works better for me than a shovel. Thanks, Bill
Well done Chris! A bit glad you haven't had the chance to post a review yet. Plastic shortages are still pretty bad here. Should be back online soon I hope.
Pretty decent show of gold for the day! Keep it up and it will get better. It's a fun way to get a workout and it adds up. I appreciate your channel and enjoy watching. Thanks bro👍
I like the idea of using a magnet to probe for black sand deposits. It occurred to me you could make a simple probe out of a plastic cigar tube and whatever magnet will fit. A cow magnet should work really well, since it's rounded end would fit close to the end of the tube. I have the magnet, just need to round up a cigar tube..
Nice little bit of gold man. Can't wait for this weekend, not goin prospectin unfortunately but campin and fishin. Nothing better than just gettin out in nature. Stay safe out there
Glad that your back at it Chris . And what a great cleanup for your first day back . Give grizzly a scratch behind the ears from us up here in New England in the USA
Great video! I hope to find some good gold this year to show on youtube as well! Great to be able to watch you finding gold and having fun while we waited out the winter up here in Canada!
No Worries Chris!!!! I FAILED MATH all through my school years.....Thank God for "Early Consumer Chemistry" and "Advanced English"....By the way....Welcome Back To The Creek! Jeanine and "Jackpot" the Dog🐾🐾
I recently ran a high banker for the first time and enjoyed it. I wasn't on as rich of ground as you but I did find a little glacial gold. Thanks for the video Chris!
Good to see the restrictions have been loosened for you guys over their. Here in western Canada there’s light at the end of the tunnel, well only in the last couple of days. Oh well the lock down has enabled me to watch all 3,673,027 of your videos!!! It’s good to see you still get worked up over a micro dot of gold LOL Just choking your chain, your passion and professionalism is refreshing. Continue keeping it real Chris.....
nice highbanker chris, mine is still down at the hardware store here in hangtown, when i get a minute i will pik it up. cant wait to run some shovels.nice video , lots of good laughs. thankyou.
Great vid Chris. Nothing like being out in our beautiful bushlands.To me the gold is only 5% of the days fun. Stay safe and look after those knuckles buddy. Cheers from Mario.
Yes he is funny on and off camera from what Jeff Williams tells me lol if u have not seen Jeff Williams go watch him ge is funny a fuck oops sorry 🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍
I even like him more now, hearing that ! Seems a lot of the people making vids, have a “ on camera “ personality. LoL , thankful he is being his true self
Very cool! I have one of Two Toes Gary's crevice tools and I have wondered if it would work like that probe if you put a powerful magnet down by the handle. Hmmmmm.
I'm a nationally certified massage therapist and if u over flex ur fingers back and pull ur index and pinky touch behind the others and then ur thumb and pinky to stretch ur hand the opposite way it always cups it will help and it maybe ur neck or shoulder causing the pain too if u feel like arthritis is a bit too premature.. just a thought
Hi Chris. Would you be happy to share a little info on what led you to the creek? Was it a tip-off or did you go through a process of exploration and topo examination etc? I'd like to learn more about how you end up on your deposits, high banks and pay-streaks... Cheers and keep the great work up. I hope the latest round of Covid restrictions haven't put a stop to Grizzly's days out.
Hey bud, I’ve found that a long wooden handle on the pick hurts the sore hands less than a short or short composite handle. An extra 12 - 18” in length and a wood handle that is not too thick and rigid, really makes a big difference.
Love it! I really like that highbanker! That’s something I need here cause the gold is so small I need to process a lot of material to get anything! As always thanks for the tips and be safe and HH🎧⛏
Vo-Gus Prospecting love your work Chris, never give up bud. You are so full of motivation and education. I don’t mean to sound like a stalker but I WATCH YOU EVERY DAY 😋 🎖🍻 you are so inspirational. Hope I get to meet you one day. Regards, Steve from Mackay, North Queensland. 🐊 🍺.
YOU GOT YOUR GARRET SUPPER SLUCE!!!!!!! IM SOOOO HAPPY!!!!! you dont understand how much better I feel seeing you use that pan!!!! So stoked!!!! I'm moving to Eugene Oregon so I'm hoping to find lots of gold there I'll keep you guys updated it feels so good to see your video you don't understand how much will leave that I am because I'm in the stress of packing to move to Eugene Oregon and unfortunately I have to leave my puppy behind but eventually I will bring him back to Eugene with me so that's a good thing it's going to suck and I have him with me but it's something to look forward to I hope you and yours are doing well it looks like you guys are God bless you guys and thank you for all of the amazing videos and the hard work that you guys put into prospecting it gives me hope for the future love gold digger d
Wait, 0.63g is over $50 of gold!
Nice work, that hard digging was worth it. That magnet probe is great, definitely something to make :)
It just hit me, I calculated 9ct gold 🤣
@@VoGusProspecting A world of 9ct natural gold would make me sad... good thing for our higher purity in Australia (22-23ct average?)
The simple act of cooking bacon and eggs in the bush with friends as a kid was the greatest joy of my childhood.
yeah same here ..... n doing a fish n cook with a good school mate
That's why I took my kids and now take my grandkids out into the wild every chance I get.
There is nothing better than sitting by a campfire with the woods to your back and the shore of the lake you just caught your dinner from right in front of you.
I want my grandkids to remember these times at camp the same way I remember every campout my father took us kids on.
Happy memories, indeed.
Great video, thank you. I believe that is the first clear running stream I have seen on any prospecting video from Australia .
Great vid, so blessings to you. Nice to see you back out on the creek. Best luck and continuing successes.
In Norway we only have this kind of digging 🤣 No soft sediments in sight. For this kind of work you need a properly sized pickaxe 😃
Good to see you getting out and about. Nice result. Take care.
I'm so happy to see you happy and back on the creek. Great to see some shiny stuff to add to the happy day!
So glad that got back out to nature, it is healing! I have missed your submissions. You are my #1 favorite RUclipsr.
Congratulations on being back out in the field. Good on ya..
I finally went out panning again last weekend and I had the best time! Didn’t find much but being out in the bush after months was such a good feeling! Such a great hobby!
Great to hear! Gold just the excuse to get out
Thanks for the adventure on the creek!
Our pleasure!

Good to see you getting out and about again and well done on finding just a little bit of GOLD!! to sweeten the morning
Hey Chris and Grizzly, it's great to see you out there again ! Thanks for the great videos. From New Castle Pa. USA
Just glad you guys are ok and back to having fun
When you said "Give your dog a scratch behind the ear, that's exactly what I was doing for Sputnik.
You were extremely happy after the creek... Nice going Chris!
I hear you about getting older and doing all the work. Awesome results you got there.
The guy behind the shovel has to last, too!😂
Well done Chris! A bit glad you haven't had the chance to post a review yet. Plastic shortages are still pretty bad here. Should be back online soon I hope.
Its been a nightmare here too mate
@@VoGusProspecting I know. Been keeping an eye on the global situation. The restrictions were far worse for you. So glad your back out and about.

great to see you out on a creek again mate, I bet that bacon tasted so good after the lockdown !!!
Awesome! Love that gold and that Highbanker
Much respect my dude hope you find a 12 ounce or 340.194 grams of gold one day at a time.
Hey it's good to see you out! Beautiful shiny! Have fun but be careful the infection rate hasn't dropped as far as I know.
Glad to see Grizzley back in action ! Nice gold !
A bad day when out at camp, beating about in the bush, or humping all day through the woods beats a good day at work, every single time.
Glad to see you back out. 👍
the Aussie out back is great for your mental health 😁 great video mate, good looking gold and nice to see some ease on restrictions.
What an awesome watch! I'm excited to try and pan again myself
Beautiful gold mate!! Glad you can get out again,it’s definitely great therapy!!
When you were hanging out with Pioneer Polly was he just as funny off camera as he is on
I truly hope so
Yes he is funny on and off camera from what Jeff Williams tells me lol if u have not seen Jeff Williams go watch him ge is funny a fuck oops sorry 🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍
He's funnier off camera.
I even like him more now, hearing that ! Seems a lot of the people making vids, have a “ on camera “ personality. LoL , thankful he is being his true self
Great job Chris, see you on the next one.
Thanks for sharing your hard working fun. Stay healthy bud
cool video, Chris. I like that little black sand probe thing, pretty Kewl! Might have to make one hahaha
Nice set up mate looks like it works well. Good luck & happy hunting.
Welcome back to the creek my friend !
Chris ,an old boy once told me ,,every job is a struggle ,,and if it isnt a struggle,,it aint worth doing! Griz i love ya .
Very cool! I have one of Two Toes Gary's crevice tools and I have wondered if it would work like that probe if you put a powerful magnet down by the handle. Hmmmmm.
Nice flash in the pan ! Eating Fresh cherries are supposed to help with arthritis , thanks for the adventure. TANK

I have scoliosis in my neck, 15 degrees.
So I'm always in pain from it, my hand is stuffed from broken knuckles

awesome result for the first day back. awesome video mate.
looked like a great day on the creek very cool
Glad ur able to get back out and do what makes u happy thats what life's all about

As I said in this film right after that "I need a real pick"
I truly enjoyed just as one video and every you for being able to be outside and have such a good lunch
That's the best part, hanging out at camp.
Great colour in the pan, what a great day out👍⛏🤘
I think you're right, you need a miners pick. Great vid as always
Bigger pick,& somebody to carry n swing it😄
Cool High-Banker Dude!!!
Welomeback Chris...GrizzlyMask ...whoopwhoop keep safe hahaaa mandogspices

As I'm 52 and a chef for 35 of that my poor hands are arthritic in a big way,CBD ointments and alcohol rubs,are a start Chris...
What more could a man want u have it all your best mate grizz , great grub, outdoors and of course gold. Thanks again for a great vid mate
Great video Chris love watching your videos.
Yea guess it's getting as cold down there as it's getting HOT here eaaa? Yep Rocks don't dig worth a chit. But that's were the gold lives.
Thanks Chris
I find those shovels a nightmare without adding a standard D handle on. make life so much easier.
I discovered lemon pepper. Its great on steak, fish or roasted tomatoes!
That sounds pretty darn good
Just when I say damn he needs a proper pick. Chris says i need a propper pick. Great new content 👍 smash button was liked
wonderful !
Your life is no.1
Another fine video, thanks.
Loved that 15 oz nugget 🧐, yes I liked the smash button 👍.
