rock: *exists*
grizzly: THE ENEMY!!!
Ahahah
As I write this my heart is broken. Chris, Zoe, Mick and everyone else who was privileged enough to have Grizzly as a part of your life, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you Zoe and Mick for the love that I know you will give Chris while getting him through this. Chris, thank you for sharing Grizzly with us. My condolences and all my love to all of you in this time of great sorrow. And to Grizzly, your work and efforts will continue to touch those who watch the videos. Thank you for saving Chris. Words cannot describe how amazing you you have been. You will be missed. ❤
We're using this pan made of narra woods since early days in rivers of mindanao. We an indigenous panners in here we can prove that you are realy true. We can place 3 shovels in it and it floats sometimes 4. This wood withstands more decades with no cracks as long as you keep it in a cool dry places no direct to sunlight.
Nothing better than a prospecting video before work 😁 thanks 🏴
Irish coffee helps too
@@VoGusProspecting red bull will have to do for now lol I'm off to pull some pints 🍺🍻
Great spot! Glad to see the supervisor (Grizz) working hard too. So lovely to hear the water running too. Very relaxing!
He's a good boss
Bestest boss! Mine is snoring next to me.
Chris...griz and yourself have done so much for me. This community. The mental health community. The true love of a man and dog i believe cant be matched we are hear for you and griz
Absolutely love your enthusiasm Chris. I get a great buzz panning for gold myself. Keep up the good work.
Hello Vo-Gus, I have also used a batea pan, took some time also to get used to it, but my favorite is the gold claw, (purple gold claw) works just as good and pans out so much faster! Very good video, brother!
Good afternoon, Chris from the US. I have been going back to some of your old videos and I have been enjoying the vids. Keep up the good work. Happy hunting Dewey
At 4:36, Grizzly once again poses for the camera, looking majestic as frig... Love good old dogs, and Grizzly is definitely a good boy. I still think you should do an April Fools episode where you let Grizz pick the rocks and clumps of dirt, and work those. Cheers.
Edit: oh, and Chris, been meaning to suggest, if a Batea pan is a little too shiny, hit up the inner surface with some cold bluing like birchwood casey. Provides a good contrast without making it too dark.
I went Friday for gold panning, I tried to work on the middle of the river, after a big rock, where the friction is happening (inspired by your last video). Dig - dig - dig and never reach the bottom. There was more than two feet of gravel. Tried on the bank and found my first Gold dust, hardly bigger than one hair. This boosted me, lol. If there is one, there is more !!!
Returned yesterday and worked on the bedrock. It was fragmented and I did took off some rock pieces and carefully removed the clay that was there : I found a dozen of specks and my first picker !
Thank you for all the videos you made that help me in my quest.
Can you pan gold in any river?
@@BVaqueroREMAX , it is strongly adviced to go panning in a river where gold has already been found.
I know a location where are minings pits, but these are a little far from the river, does this mean that I can find gold in the river too? I found a rock whit little silver shines
@@BVaqueroREMAX Yes, I would try that place. Dont forget that gold exist since the ice age ! For millions of years, ice and weather dispersed the gold everywhere around. Look in the heavyly stacked crevices in the bedrock of that river.
@@maxcloutier5285 Thanks man! I'll try to
Seeing grizzly just brought a tear to my eye and I should say more than one. you have my sympathy brother he was a great dog and a great companion and friend.
Heard about Grizzly Chris... We both are sending prayers your way. We hope he pulls through! You and Grizzly are strong. Loads of love from the Aussie Digs Crew.
Thank you, we might loose him tonight .
@@VoGusProspecting Life is certainly unfair sometimes, stay strong
@@VoGusProspecting I do not know how I missed this episode Chris.
I am so sad to hear of grizzly going to the Great Dog Park in the sky.
Going to miss his chasing sticks and rocks, I once met a Golden Retriever trying to pick up a stone from three feet under the Nanaimo River in BC Canada ...was something to see from both below the water and from above, sending a cyber scratch for behind his ear.
FFS, why are my eyes so watery allergy season was done two months ago....
Out in the big wide world, you often see these pans, but atleast twice as big. The people who use them often stand almost chest deep in the water, and swirl them with straight arms in front of them.
Wow that is some great gold Chris. I just found out that Grizzly is not well , I really really hope he pulls through, I can see how much he means to you he is an absolute legend of a dog. I hope whoever wins the detector donates it back to you to help cover the vet bills, well that is what i would do anyway. Best of luck mate and Grizzly will be in my thoughts ❤
Just a note, if you set the steel pan in a fire for 5-10 minutes it will darken the metal. Just like seasoning a traditional steel gold pan.
Thanks for the awesome content Chris. Something to look forward too while in lockdown. Stay safe man.
Thanks, you too!
Well done with the gold for the day.
I agree with your comments regarding the shotgun pallets and water in the boots.
I look forward to your next videos.
Excellent video thanks learned quite abit of of it,love that suction tube looks like it will be vey handy.Again great show........
And Chris took a while to remember. I've seen in older Asian man. Use one of those when I was younger. Talking the Batavia pan. When he got to the end he kind of did the same you would would the normal fan. Set free to slowly up and down like you normally would just to get the tips out and clean the pan of it. Good show brother
Always love seeing you out in the gold field and the gold you find.
Thanks Chris,
I was holding completely under from the start and was most likely a bit hard and fast on the motion.
I got both the 350 & 400 pans so will play with both and see how I go.
It's like anything in life, practice makes perfect👍
You just came up in my recommended so I watch the video that's a nice pan I think I might try it out thanks
RIP Grizzly, he lived his best life watching his dad do his thing. My thoughts are with you all.
Hi Chris,
You can burn the pan. It will stean it black/blue. This makes it even stronger to.
I did that in the first episode of this pan, but the stone wears away the black fast!
Was so sad when my dad told me about grizz. Hope he sleeps well! And barks at plenty of rocks in doggy heaven. Good doggo
Hey Chris, just heard about Grizzly not well, I wish him a speedy recovery, he is a lovely dog. Regards Kev
Unfortunately he passed 😭
Now that is an awesome pan, just love it.
Oh the gold is great as well.
Dennis
Great to watch your lessons about the gold
Thank you.
Andy
Great as always MAY YOUR PERSISTENCE BRING YOU OUNCES and loads of joy
another tip for the first time using a yabbie pump is to ensure the butterfly nut on the inside is tight... 20 mins lost finding the nut and putting it back together
Worst part about that is you no longer have a yabbie pump to yabbie pump up the yabbie pump bits
Nice gold finds and great fun out. Best Regards guys, Roger
Grizzly...... Beautiful boy..... will miss you little buddy. Much love Chris and Zoe........
I would like to see you put that pan at then end of your sluice to see if it catches any gold flakes that escape. Love your videos, I learn a lot.
Now that is an awesome pan, just love it. Keep your head held high
Going going to truly miss seeing your dog in your videos buddy ... I just lost my dog recently and it's really hard I'm sorry to say it doesn't get much easier but I think everybody agrees that you had a pretty special friend right there.
I would suggest a tubular section in the bottom, or a depression because each time you seemed to have floaters well up the sides, eventually it will rust and become more usefull
Definitely considering getting one of those pans. You pan the material out so quick!
Nice job CHRIS that's a INSANE amount of gold from just panning wow that's just nuts GOOD JOB CHRIS so is that all the gold for 2020 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
RIP Grizzley, boxers are such loving dogs and i know how much you miss them, good luck and good vid m8
I would live to win Beta pan. Tried to turn my wok into one. Not the same but gave me an idea how it works.Been trying to find one to buy in states and they are hard to find. And expensive in other countries!
Big hugs for your heart Chris!
Those pans are awesome as long as you have deep water! Keep the videos coming!
If you find your yabbie pump is not sucking right tighten up the the tension on the Plunger by using the Wing nut
Rip to the worlds finest Kanine prospector ❤️my condolences are with you ❤️
Great video Chris I can't get enough of seeing those Batea pans in action, I must get one, yes I must.
Great videos Chris. Keep up the good work. 🤠👍
That's a cool pan and some nice Gold you got, thanks for the adventure , TANK
Have you ever seen the Gold sucker that has the flappers in side ?? As you suck it in the tube a flapper opens there is a hose that comes off the side into a 5 gallon bucket when you push the plunger down it closes the flapper in the main tube and opens the side flapper sending the cons into the hose and on its why into the bucked . You want to X and couple bolts at the opening so it dont get stopped up from bigger rocks .
Nice to think our world is covered in shiny rocks!!
Your'e so lucky to live up there. I remember meeting you out on the field once a few years ago (had my minelab GM with me at the time) with my cousin. Cheers
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Another good one mate, thanks, cheers.
Great video Chris!! You said you can’t really see the gold because of the silver contrast...what about if you took a black permanent maker & color the bottom? Just an idea!! Good hunting mate!!
The batea pan is popular among gold prospectors in Brazil. There they normally use very big bateas.
I'm trying to make my own twenty inch. I can't find to buy one. Thanks for the info. How deep is that pan 4,6"?
@@picklefoot Unluckily, I don't know the exact specification.
Have you thought of 3D printing a reducer nozzle for the end of the yabbie pump to get deeper into the cracks and increase the suction of the pump?
My heart and soul for you buddy!
I think Klesh is correct... You and Dan Hurd are IT when it comes to knowledge
Chris, I am so sorry to hear about Grizzly. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed. I hope and pray you get through this tough time with ease my friend. Keep your head held high.
Entertaining video as always Chris, thanks for your hard work!
That is a nice looking pan at the cleanup . Love watching your videos Chris , even though i doubt i will ever go gold prospecting/panning. Love the Griz too 😊👍❤
14:00 Grizzly sounds funny at high speed.
Awesome, great tips. NIce work Grizzly....
Just ordered a pan. I hope it arrives within a week here in Tassie. I wanna show it off next weekend at a Prospectors and Miners Association Tasmania (PMAT - pmat.org.au) field trip. :)
great video!!!
the wife n i saw your fb post,,,
,,,prayers going out to you n grizzly
🙏
🎾🎾🎾🎾
Awesome as always. I’m going to have to try one of those pans. Keep up the great work.
Awesome.. thanks for the link I've been looking for that pan.
Awesome gold yet again!! Well done fellas
Hey Chris I noticed you had 3 add blocks totalling 6 ads in the first 10 minutes. Is that you or RUclips forcing that? I’ve never used an adblocker to support channels and help provide revenue but the increase in ads recently is making me rethink the strategy. I want to support channels but the advertising has got crazy in the last month.
I've been running Adblock plus for years now. I can handle an ad or two, but multiple ads on a 10 minute video is not on. Try doing a tarot card reading with multiple ad breaks in the middle, it just ruins it. Luckily likes and comments are "currency" too, and there's many other methods content providers can utilise to gain support.
Just use a vpn. Buy RUclips premium from Indian. Its £1.10 a month. Messing around with that add blocker shit is tedious.
@@daylehunt9211 Fuck off it is. It takes 2 clicks and is done forever.
I add 3 ads to a 20 minute video. One in the first minute one before the gold weigh and one in the middle. RUclips adds all the others, I cant stop them from doing it.
@@VoGusProspecting That's more than fair. Wow ok, I didn't know that... I hope you at least get the money from those extra ads!
Hey chris i used that pan here in south america we burn die pan first the used it we are getting the silver collor of it that way its easier for us t use and is not slippery for the gold
I will have to start doing that
Another great video, and beautiful gold . Thank you for sharing, and keep the vids coming.
Love that pan
We'll all miss Grizzly. Keep doing what you do, I can't wait to see you out there again doing what makes you happy. Stay strong!
Is there a problem with rust? Would you do an episode of unboxing a new Batea pan, season it, and the care and feeding of the pan. Not that a new pan is needed, you can talk it thru. And if we have entered do we need multiple entry’s or is one at each place all that is allowed?
I have a couple made in Europe from aluminum. They never rust but keep them away from mercury.
Praying for Griz
I want to spend my winters in AU to find some Au 😊
Chris I am so very very sorry about The Griz. He was beautiful and magnificent and definitely loved the rocks, and what happened to him was wrong in every sense of the word. My condolences.
Awesome gold there brother
Ouch, that ending clip looked pretty nasty. I always wear gloves because it is so easy to get cut by glass or poked by rusty nails without them, and there is a lot of it in the creeks around me. Plus your hands can get pretty roughed up just from digging and moving rocks around in the pan. Protect your hands because you can't prospect without them.
NICE amount of 'old' you got there for just panning👍😊
Cheers buddy!
Mate you need to get some sort of holder for the pan to keep it from falling over when shovelling into it. Maybe a subscriber with a 3D printer could make a lightweight tube for it to sit in? ;)
Sorry to hear about Grizzly.
Chris and Zoe you must be heart broken thinking of you all at this very very sad time
Laying on the sofa eating a cheese and onion sandwich watching you and the fabulous grizzly makes my day, peace 😎👍💀
Hi Chris, i2 am sorry 4 urlose, i have had 6 Best buddjes an buddiesses in my ancient life. That is what has made thd world go around since the first sin, but we have memories an d adventures with our best budds. Again we all have different feelings of lose in 1 way or the other. On 2 a change ofbthought. You use the baete pan for the most part yet u used the garrett for the final cleanup. Why change at the end?? Troy
been using flat bottom pans out here in california for like 170 years
Thanks for all your great information. enjoy your movies. the gold is where it is. just need to find it.
Awesome! I found some yesterday! Check out the video! I need one of those Yabby pumps lol. Cant get the gooey sandy stuff off the bottom of the crevices lol. I've learned a lot from your videos, you and dan Hurd and Klesh and Jason Keith. Awesome people. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and for inspiring other people with psychological damage to go out and make their life better.
Awesome pump mate ,gorgeous gold ,I say step up your game little bigger equipment wise run more buckets and shovels through course gold close to the source as you say hasn't traveled far .
I've learned from you now it's time to produce the cheese called gold . I'm in Texas and they say gold doesn't flow through small Texas rivers and streams and creeks I'm going to prove them Wrong. Golds where you find it . And when your listening Gods treasure always calls unto the good from within , I pray mate that in the season ahead of you, you find nuggets the size of your fist and bigger keeps your detector handy and take a walk about and seek one feet deep I call these pitch nuggets they sing when hit with a detector, Awesome video .
Unfortunately we are going into stage 4 restrictions and you to stage 3. Stay safe bro and hopefully we will be back out on the shiny in a month or so 👌 I miss it so much I purchased a couple bags of dirt off eBay!
You need to get a lil ring made up with tripod legs to set the pan on while your filling it. Haha if the makers real handy telescopic legs would be cool then you could extend them and sit on it while your panning out contents
A small peace of PVC pipe would work. Lite and cheap. No need to spend a lot
Great video Chris
If I'm ever in your part of the world I would love to give you a hand, you can keep the gold I just want the experience and to learn some gold-panning skills.
Great video Chris! Too old for that pan but glad you're having success with it. Thanks for sharing...hi Griz!
LOVE HOW EASY AND GREAT THE BATEA IS. BUT WHERE CAN ONE GET ONE?
Nice pan all that gold.
Super interesting video! What I wouldn’t do to prospect in a stream like that with gold in every pan.
I am truly sorry, reading about Grizzly. I can feel your pain too because i lost my dog a while ago and still miss him!
so, so sorry about Grizly...he will b greatly missed...i enjoyed seeing him in ur videos
It looks like an easy-to-use pan. You do good with it..............huck
Cool video Chris! And gold spot price is going up everyday!!
