    Amazing camerawork and editing. So much hard work for so little gold, this makes me appreciate life even more

    Your channel is the most underrated one amongst foreign vloggers here in the Philippines. You deserve million subs.

    I love your content. I use to watch documentaries like this on the Discovery Channel. It’s great to see the democratization of media.

    Pours small bead of mercury out of bottle into hand. That was probably the safest thing I saw. Great video Andrew.

      I noticed that too, I’ve always been told mercury = no no, especially to just touch like that

      I don't know that much is absorbed through short contact to the skin but you don't want to ingest it (inhalation/consumption) as it hangs around the body. Still made me shake my head.@@Rekujya

      Hahaha, yeah the mercury was rough. I was trying to hold my breath filming as she blowtorched the mercury and gold.

    • @brentgabel3660
      @brentgabel3660 Год назад

      The blowtorching was done outside. Everything aligns with the local workplace health and safety standards. Thanks again for the video. Great content. Terrifying but great.@@Andrew_Fraser

    You really have stepped up here, Andrew.
    I can't imagine the desperation or, hopefully not, stupidity, it must take for this to seem a viable option.

    Wow! the courage to be in the hole and the faith you have to have for that bamboo cage to hold. I don't think I can do that regardless of the fortune it gives. Talagang yong persistant talaga ng Filipino para ma buhay at makapag provide sa kanila pamilya is so strong. I hope for their safety and that they'll find as much gold as they can.

    In Africa, they do the same thing for cobalt except they do not have a wooden frame to protect cave in ‘s, and they go down 30 to 40 feet deep

    They can get a lot more gold with riffles! If they made sluice boxes. I wish they could get more!

    Nice episode Andrew, but that's a big nope from me, stuff that for a joke! I'd never do that.

    like the good old days in victoria but didn't get to use compressors in 1850s 😂 the boys would go for the dry shafts instead (dangerous too)

      Totally felt like a time travel experience while filming! It's wild how some things haven't changed much. Appreciate your comment

    Please lower the music

    Now I understand why scamming is such a popular vocation in the Philippines compared to this slavery for little results.
