    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...

    My step father went out that way to prospect once. He found no gold, just hundreds and hundreds of little copper rectangles about 1X3cm with the words "DICK HEAD" punched into every one.

      Honestly with the commodity prices rising I'd scooped up the copper.

      With illegal metal detectoring in parks in the UK, people started press ing washers and penny coins into the ground. this made it impossible to use a metal detector.

    • @laptopdragon
      @laptopdragon 2 года назад +2

      @@blackcountryme seems like it would still "be possible" to use metal detectors.
      Maybe even recollecting the washers and pennies only to sell them back to those who would plant them again?

    Being an ex-body and fender repair man I would suggest taking a slide hammer and weld a punch onto the end to break away the "concrete ". Might save the eyes and the "fly away " materials(gold). Love the dedication bro!!

    Fern was just trying to let you know that you were blowing gold out by sitting in the tailings mud pile.(She was trying to bring some home just like dad!) What a good girl. Love your videos as always

    When you go back there bring like a 6 x 4 tarp or something and lay it down in front of that rock and Chipaway that way you catch everything buddy. But that’s awesome man If I was finding what you did in that handful, I would have such an adrenaline rush that I I’ll be like a woodpecker. Lol

    • @MrBottlecapBill
      @MrBottlecapBill 2 года назад +3

      Yup. I wouldn't even sluice or pan it though. I'd shovel it all into barrels of water and just let it soak for days to break down into mud. THEN process it.

    I liked the support for your classifier. As my Dad always said - "Necessity is the Mother of invention." There are lots of gold prospecting shows on youtube, Chris. In my humble opinion, yours is the best. Your shows consistently show us... how to have a good time and enjoy a hobby, rather than hitting the streambed with a greedy, get-rich-quick, scheme. Keep it up!!

    I just started panning this summer. Of all the videos on panning I watch, I learn the most from you. Thank you for explaining everything so well. I'm from the northeast US in New England.
    Thank you and stay safe this summer.

      I started planning and prospecting last summer. I'm in PA, USA. I'm having fun doing it and I hope to find a flake, or spell, someday. I'm doubtful in this area but I believe if I keep working ok my panning and reading the rivers I'll get weekday in looking for. You guys have helped me to get the fever to just so gold in my pan. Anyway, I'll keep learning from all you guys on RUclips. Thanks for the inspiration.

    You three seem to have a blast when you out.
    I'm sure there must be some funny out takes with "boys being boys" stuff.
    Fern has such a personality, I love here antics even though it may frustrate you at times.
    Keep up the good work you guys.

  • @geoffyplayz9523
    @geoffyplayz9523 2 года назад +35

    What you want for getting at those conglomerates is a tool the old timers called a driving mallet which is basically a sledgehammer with one end shaped like a cone that allows you to attack the face effectively and use the flat side to break up any chunks

    • @bring6not12
      @bring6not12 2 года назад +3

      sure it wasnt just your old timer that called it that? cant find anything about driving mallets.

    • @geoffyplayz9523
      @geoffyplayz9523 2 года назад +3

      They weren’t actually a manufactured tool they just filed down a sledge hammer and it’s a New Zealand thing so it will probably have a hundred different names around the world

    It's great to see your side kick Fern taking a more active part of your exploration. Why was there for the building of your classifier, to checking out how "soft" the water was. Even helping with the exploration. Just an incredible amazing side kick. Loved your video Chris. Really great job with Fern, glad to see her taking a more active role. Ya did a great job mate. How much gold was your take? Was to busy enjoying Fern. I give her 2 thumbs up.
