Alluvial Gold Prospecting - How and Where to Find Good Gold in a Running Creek
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2016
- Sometimes some of the most concentrated Gold in a creek is the easiest Gold to get to, and is almost in plain site... You've just got to know where to look, as well as recognise the indicators and general conditions that Gold tends to be associated with. In this video I demonstrate how I sample and find such a spot.

Ive watched this a few years back and I am still loving it. You explain the method really well! 😁👊
PioneerPauly cheers mate. Thanks for the thumbs up. Hope you are enjoying your trip here in Oz. Regards Aussie
Wow, one of the best clips I have ever viewed on RUclips. Direct, informative and no blah blah blah or ego trip anywhere. Top job mate, keep 'em coming!
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Thanks for the huge thumbs up. Regards Aussie
nice demo and the Gold was fantastic. Would love to chase it to its source. Good job.
Jeff and Slim
+Ask Jeff Williams. Cheers mate and yes some great Gold for such a small area. There's a lot of mines in the immediate hillsides on both sides of the creek. I suspect the source is no more than a km away. Would take some old-school loaming I think. Regards Aussie

You mate are a legend. I also do some metal detecting but for whatever reason I love to muck around panning and river sluicing. I am very new at this and havnt got anything other than flakes.. until I watched this the other night and tried a pump out and worked a small hole behind a large buried stone in the bank. I took 4 very small nuggets that I could pick up with fingers and a bunch of smaller pieces. Cant wait to get back there when the water drops and try your methods on the bedrock. Thanks again for the great video.
Cheers mate...really happy to hear that my video has had a direct and positive effect. The only way is up from here mate. Regards Aussie
Thanks for taking the time to put together all these great videos, much appreciated, Neil.
+SuperWallace6 My pleasure mate. Regards Aussie.
I am learning I must slow down , I am pretty meticulous , but not as meticulous as you ... Thanks for this filming and teaching ... much appreciated
I love crevicing, some really great tips. Thanks for sharing, great videos.
+steve w #1 Glad you like the vids....Crevicing is my favourite method for quick and easy gold. Regards Aussie.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge so generously - its much appreciated ABP. Your videos are spot on too - good detail, not too long, perfect commentary too for what you're doing. Inspiring me to get back out there! Cheers, Geoff
You're welcome and thanks for the awesome feedback mate. Good to know I'm getting it right. Get out there and enjoy. Regards Aussie
I couldn't help but smile a few times while watching your progress in finding the gold , and the way you describe how to follow the gold . I find your videos very informative and easy to understand . Im going downstairs to my basement to make a crevicing tool as soon as I finish posting this comment . I would also like to make a Yappy pump but I'm not sure how to construct one of my own . Once again I absolutely enjoy your videos . thanks again mate , Sincerely , Lloyd from Canada .
+highenergyog G'day...I'm really glad you find the videos helpful..it brings a smile to my face when I receive comments like this.

Absolutely fantastic video Aussie Bloke. Very easy to understand and invaluable information. Thank you very much for sharing. Deano
+Murano Art Glass Australia 0362659223 Thanks mate, I'm glad you find it informative. regards Aussie
Loved the education. Very good vid. Taken your wisdom on board and I know it'll pay off for me. Cheers
I'm glad you loved it. All the best out there. Regards Aussie
Been thinking of trying this myself. This is a good start. Thanks.
I wish you all the best mate. Regards Aussie
Thanks for the informative video, so nice to see people sharing the wealth of knowledge they have :)
+2002Dewalt Too easy mate. Regards Aussie.
Sir, you are a true prospector, thanks for sharing.
+Tim Dunk Cheers mate, thanks for your kind words
Amazing, reminds me of my Aussie days. Would have loved to venture out panning for gold like that!
If you ever get back here...look me up. Regards Aussie
Thank you so much for being so generous sharing your knowledge
My pleasure mate. Regards Aussie
Thanks for sharing. It is a dream to go out and camp with a little prospecting on the side.
Yes it is...a living dream, and a do-able one for those brave or silly enough ( depends how you look at it ) to pursue it. Regards Aussie
Thank you for your fantastic videos! Greatly appreciated from Boulder, Colorado USA.
+mrrangerman365 You are welcome mate. Always great to get feedback from across the ocean. Regards Aussie
Good job my friend. !!
you popped up in my suggestions....subscribed. I made a purpose built suction hand dredge because the potential for dropping it back into the hole with a yabby pump.
When you get the hang of using a Yabby Pump, there is no dropping.. a good seal provides max suction, and a smooth operator gets every bit.
Great Work. Thank You...
Thanks for the tutorial - its totally relevant to the Victorian high country where I do my gold hunting and I can't wait t get out again now..... Regards Casper
I wish you all the best mate..would love to get in to that High Country one day myself. Regards
Perhaps there will be an opportunity to show you around some spots when you're next in Victoria. Casper
Love your video's. Always very informative and helpful. Thank you.
+Marcus James Wyatt Thanks mate..glad you find the helpful. Regards Aussie.
Hi mate and thank you for your great video, i live in Israel near a dry river, do i simply go and sample or are there any tail tail signs to look for if there is any gold at all? thanks
Usually you go to where gold has been found before. But you can also go to an unknown location and do a test pan.
Great Video & Info, I'm going to try this out on a Claim and see what I come up with.
Thanks Again......
+YFZMoto Thanks. Would be interested on your results mate. Regards Aussie.
Crevicing is my favorite method of chasing my tail. I live in Northern Nevada, lots of opportunities to hunt for the elusive Au. Nice video sir!
Love it mate thanks for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure mate. Regards Aussie
Excellent video, great information! This is the kind of prospecting we do here in Colorado, so it is very useful information.
Thanks mate. Would love to go to Colorado one day. Regards Aussie
Great vid as alway's, i really enjoy your style, very easy going and informative, when i head back east i plan to revisit some area's in the mountains and give crevicing a go, last time i went it was in the middle of summer, a guy warned me to keep an eye out for eastern browns, so i approached the creek banging my shovel on the ground/rocks because i am not a big fan of snakes, i looked up the creek and saw some exposed bedrock, went back out and headed upstream and approached the creek again, leaned out and looked upstream, turned and looked down into the middle of the rocky creek and i saw something that resembled a snake, submerged other than it's head and parts of it's body laying on exposed rocks, i quickly assessed what i was looking at, yep that's a snake, a 6ft brown and he was looking straight at me, well i figured i had 1 metre head start on him and i high tailed it out of there and that was the end of my time looking for gold in creeks lol
+BanjoAU That's a great yarn. Do you reckon he was on to you? Maybe he was protecting a good spot. I went down to the Sarah River at Kookabrooka, NSW 3 days ago with your story fresh in my mind. I was in the river panning and then went up to get something from my car, and sure enough, when I returned, there was a big "BROWN" right where I was panning. Scared crap out of me. For the rest of the day every where I walked, I took a long handled shovel..just in case. Regards Aussie.
+Aussie Bloke Prospector hahaha, how uncanny is that lol Sorry if i put the mockers on you. Was he onto me ? I wasn't sticking around to find out, i covered 100m that would of given Ben Johnson a fright, i was on my own and 45 minutes from a town so i wasn't about to try the stand still theory. I just couldn't believe my luck, i drove 2 hours and after i gathered my thoughts and ate what was to be my lunch i drove the 2 hours home. Before my workmate warned me they love water i was even thinking of taking some goggles and try sniping, it's funny how things work out, the fact that all i had on my mind was looking out for them and bang i walked straight up on one.
Well, this story is rather terrifying! Thankfully we don't have to worry about things like that in NZ.
Kin awesome stuff tomcat, thanx 4 sharing the knowledge. 👍
Cheers mate and my pleasure. Regards Aussie
Fantastic video! Bravo!
+Ohio Gold Prospecting Thank you for such positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed. Regards Aussie.
your video was very very educational even went out and got the Idries Book
Cheers mate. You will love the book.
Nice work mate, cheers
Just came across this video!.
Very good brother!.
Thanks mate. Great video, and some great gold.
+Diggin' For Gold Cheers mate, regards Aussie
very nice find... it's not always that easy... like you said, it's hard work... sometimes luck... experience will payoff... thank you for this video and knowledge... from the States, :)
Glad you enjoyed it. Regards Aussie.
Interesting and informative video, good work. Nice to see you getting some good colour for the effort. Cheers, Peter T.
+peter Tee Thanks for the feedback. Regards Aussie.
Excellent information there bloke, it's exactly what I needed to know, cheers...
A mate is going to visit me down in South Australia about December, I've got a fosicking map of a few creeks known to have gold close by (I live at the foot of the Adelaide hills)...
I tried my hand with panning at Sovereign Hill Victoria, although the creek was man made and they lace it with gold for tourists, I still managed to get about 2 grams in about an hour of panning and gold fever struck hahaha...
My mate and I plan on setting up our swags and camp for a few days doing nothing but prospecting, we're thinking of making a sluice to take with us, but I've read to start off small and master the pan before going too bloody mad with other equipment... Cheers again mate
Glad to help out mate. Yep, get the hang of the pan, but if you want to sluice, start with a small Keen river Sluice. The little one...it will get you used to it before you get into the big ones. Good luck, and keep me posted with your success mate.
Nce video! You can see your sunburn get progressively worst from start to finish.
Cheers... one of the Hazards...but worth it. Regards Aussie
Great Video's . Thanks, and keep em comin
Thanks mate...will do
Love watching your Vids Mate thanks heaps for teaching me so much I hope to practise what you have shown me very soon Cheers :)
You're welcome mate..I wish you all the best. Regards Aussie
Hi great video i've subscribed looking forward to watching and learning more. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for your knowledge and expertise im truly grateful 👍🤘🤘🇦🇺
You are welcome mate. Regards Aussie
Great video and very helpful!! I'm taking my 3 grandkids prospecting soon in Georgia and North Carolina, USA - wish us luck.
I wish you all the best. Get 'em interested while they are young. Regards Aussie.
Enjoyed! Sure easier to clean out cracks rather than to get into the cold cold river or stream this time of year. The best, Rob Perry of the online gold prospecting magazine, THE GOLD ANGLE.
+Gold Prospecting A lot less work too. Aussie.
great video enjoyed keep them coming
Saw an old timer doing similar with a windex bottle and pvc tube that went all the way through top to near the bottom of bottle in upright position. It was in effect a one way valve for gold and heavy particles, but the water was pushed in both directions, in then out. Heavy bits fell to what was the bottle top area, except they were at bottom when sucking etc. Keep doing it till it's full for a pan, then unscrew lid and empty into pan. Every crevice he did had some flecks and some small nuggets. The pvc was about 5/16", through screw lid, just a simple and easy to make tool for small crevices, in this case, the Yarra river near Warrandyte.. also found small gemstones in that same place and method.
He showed us his vials of finds, and said it paid for his grog for the year..
Brilliant...Thanks for sharing that mate. I'm definitely going to give that a crack. Regards Aussie
@@AussieBlokeProspector good luck, it is only suitable for smaller pieces obviously, may pay to test tube sizes vs suction etc with small bits of lead or gold if you have some..
Very nice gold, it sure is worth working those crevices.
+Appalachian Prospectors Damn skippy mate..well worth it
Good stuff , nothing better than getting onto some good creeks with colour,best way to spend a day , from wattle flat
Cheers mate. Totally agree, nothing more relaxing than sitting in a
creek away from the hustle and bustle. One of my absolute favourite
things to do... and you are in the right part of the world there too
mate. Regards Aussie
Thanks for this great video! You're a great inspiration! BTW, sometime last century, I was a pilot in New Guinea and sometimes people in the West Sepik area would come to the mountain airstrips I used to fly to and they'd show me their little glass phials with granite and gold, to pay for their airfare. I'd take a very rough guess at how much gold was in a phial and pay for their tickets out of my pocket. I then mailed the gold dust back to rellies and friends in 'Straya as gifts or souvenirs.(Yes, that was a pretty stupid way of doing things.)
Thanks I've learnt heaps just in this video
You're welcome mate. Glad I could help. Regards Aussie
Aussie Bloke Prospector Take care at this time mate. Best place to be atm is in the bush away from everyone who spreading this damn virus.
Nice vid mate! Very much like the country where I am........lotsa pines and difficult access.........oh and blackberries are not my friend! I like the paintbrush idea......will give that a go next time out.
this has been very informative I would like to start doing some panning soon
Glad you find it informative... never too late to start. Regards Aussie
Gotta love that mate nice finds...

+basil dafnas Cheers mate, you are welcome. Good luck out there, Regards Aussie
Yes this is right.. Just now in the afternoon, I checked the prospecting inside the bedrock there were 100% more gold dust.. 👌
Good for you mate. Good luck out there. Regards Aussie
aside from the paintbrush- a good stiff plastic bristle hairbrush works great for that too. picks a little deeper into the cracks & scrubs out clay or flakey rock
Yep a wire brush is good for that too. Thanks for the input. Regards Aussie
excellent video mate. wish I could explain it as well as you do. I can get gold just useless explaining it. keep up the good work :-)
+flakesgold1 Thanks for the great feedback. Regards Aussie.

WOW!! I will be going to Australia hopefully in 2017 my Relatives moved from Ireland to live there in 1976 After Bloody Sunday my Uncle did not want his family to grow up there anymore & because of the never ending Troubles there. They have invited me to visit them in Australia on many occasions & if I had have had GOLD FEVER BACK THEN I would have been there too!! but never too late Right? great Video!!
+Gaelforce Gael That's right..never too late mate. Thanks for your comments. Regards Aussie.

How'd it go? A friend of mine and I are going to do some panning next year in Michigan. More or less doing it for fun, we can only get like a half ounce of gold a year here from state land.
That was an awesome demonstration. Many thanks. I was surprised that you didn't seem to have any black sand? Cheers.
...one of the few places that is abundant with Gold and Gemstones with suprisingly little black sand..makes it ideal to pan
That’s nice man paintbrush come in handy
Muito bom obrigado me ajudou bastante !
Hey bro you should check out the portable vacuum he built on the klesh guitars Channel! He took a 5 gallon bucket and put a leaf blower on it to make a portable vacuum to suck out crevices. It looks like it works really f****** well
Not legal here in OZ mate. Regards Aussie
the original and best
Awesome feedback. Much appreciated. Regards Aussie
