Congrats, guys. The show was so awesome. I don't usually comment, but after seeing you on the news tonight and then watching this, the excitement is just so infectious. Cheers from far north nz ⛏
Shit you two are hilarious❤ love it! I was jumping up and down with you Bet mum is pleased when the boys are off hunting for gold lol jokes. That’s freaking awesome! It really refreshing to see father and sons out in the fresh air, having bonding time, and a beer in the bush having a laugh! Well done. ❤
Congratulations guys, a good day for father and son to remember for life. And those drone shots bring another dimension to the videos. Keep up the good work
Most definitely we are never going to forget this one! Thanks heaps we were stoked with the drone and how it did, definitely will be implementing it in future! We will do, thanks for the support!
Back 22 years again I was working in a gold claim in the moonlight valley up near the old coal mine and an when you go across the frist bridge you take ur first left then go across the creek drive up and around the hill till u come across a big open field
You guys have certainly earned that beautiful nugget. Also great to see you live on TV news and TV 1 morning show. Keep up the good videos - an inspiration to us all. JoeP
That's what its all about, Boot's on the ground and making memories!!! Father and Son Team even better.... Awesome Chunker of a Nugget. Just Subbed and will be checking out your other Adventures. Tony@TNT Mining&Prospecting, Heavy Pans and Gold Fever Always Brother's.....
That film crew better not spill the beans as to the exact location of your gold bearing tributary!! Hopefully you can track the source of that whopper and stake a claim before some big wigs do and dig up the whole hillside. It would be better for you guys if you guys dug up the whole hillside!
Yeah I’d love to get out there sometime I’ve been looking after my parents dad had a big stroke and can’t talk and mum has dementia but once I’ve seen them through I’d love to come and go on one of your tours and learn how to prospect the way you blokes do I reckon you found that nugget from your dad drinking that warm beer the gods smiled on you haha
Awesome stuff! I’m really sorry to hear that I hope everything goes as well as it can and I hope your doing alright. Sounds epic we will look forward to it! Ahaha most definitely 😂! Cheers thanks for watching!
Cheers thanks a lot. I would suggest starting off with an Equinox900 it’s the perfect all round machine and will actually find more gold at first then something like the GPx we have, it’s only better in set situations. Search Equinox900 for sale in your area and you should find one quite easily, I would suggest buying 2nd hand but new can be epic too.
My congratulations too Well done your channel is fun and adventurous. Good answer you've given as to where did you find the nugget " west coast of the south island"
Cheers thanks heaps! We were absolutely over the moon and couldn’t believe we were lucky enough to find it! One of the biggest we have seen as well! Hopefully you come across one in future!
Cheers. It’s amazing how little gold it takes to equate to such a huge amount of weight/value. A 1L water bottle full of gold is 20KG with a value of 3million.
Integrity is everything. Just so happened that a commercial film crew was there at the time. We watched Australian prospectors sell their soul to the commercial TV industry in order to over inflate the possibility of finding a giant nugget....some admit that these were planted by the producers. Unbelievable......literally.
Hey mate, there is complete integrity in this video, was totally transparent about what was happening, you can even hear the fella filming with us at one point in the video asking if this was for real because he was in disbelief . I knew there would be comments like this, surprised this was the first to be honest, this was a private episode with a single member not even going live, and politely how in gods name do you think anyone faked that 🤣, It was jammed and buried under layer and layer of rock and compacted in the bedrock perfectly yet there wasn’t a scratch when it came out? How did we manage that? And besides that how would we manage to even get our hands on such a specemin piece of NZ gold that’s never been handled before and still literally had the stains from the minerals it’s been buried with. Trust me I agree some finds get faked and planted, but not one find on our channel has ever been faked ever, if that’s not genuine excitement of us finding it I don’t know what is. I wouldn’t give up our channel and name for a non public tv episode lol. Cheers
@@TheSluicers been watching you for quite a while. your reaction seemed forced, and your and your dads eyes were darting left and right. something feels off here. sorry, but i dont believe this one
@@TheSluicers Thank you! I really need to invest in a gpx6000. I have a gpz but its not great in rugged steep terrain. The sdc gets into these places well however it wont pick up nuggets of that size or even much larger outside of 25cm, seriously.
Thanks heaps! Yeah definitely New Zealand has produced the most gold per square kilometre of any country! 5.2 is still a bloody ripper nugget! We would still be over the moon for anything like that even now, took us 4 years to find something over 5 grams.
We did after, actually got two more pieces out of it that weighed 0.11 and 0.23 respectively, unfortunately we didn’t get it on camera though as we were too buzzed from the big nugget.
@@TheoCollett You replied to another comment it’s still there we never delete comments, RUclips sometimes does if they are inappropriate though. Firstly someone else is filming so of course the perspective is going to be different, believe what you want brother but at the end of the day it’s impossible to fake a piece of gold in the bedrock like this without damaging it, and we wouldn’t be getting news coverage on a fake find. And how the heck do I afford over $10,000 at 18 purely to fake a gold nugget find which I am now never going to sell to make maybe another $50 on RUclips lol. Cheers
Your young blokes are champions good to see a family having fun in the bush

Keep Digging Dad..!!!!!!!! 🚀🔥🎉😄
My congratulations too
Well done your channel is fun and adventurous.
Good answer you've given as to where did you find the nugget
" west coast of the south island"
But the west coast could be anywhere in the west that's still a very big area
@@mrgooberboy good point keep it under wraps
😂😂 definantly cant go treasure hunting without a victory beer 🍺
NZ scenery is freakn beautiful 😍
Nice find.
wow been dredging 17 years and havnt come any where near a 39gram nugget not even close , well done
Cheers thanks heaps! We were absolutely over the moon and couldn’t believe we were lucky enough to find it! One of the biggest we have seen as well! Hopefully you come across one in future!
Must admit, I was expecting it to be much bigger. Congratulations all the same
Cheers. It’s amazing how little gold it takes to equate to such a huge amount of weight/value. A 1L water bottle full of gold is 20KG with a value of 3million.
Well done Ants and Dylan. Deserved
That looks more fun than winning the lotto! Not that i know how that feels 😂
Was the nugget part of that quartz vein or a placer nugget that just got stuck there?
A placer nugget that got stuck, but it definitely had not travelled far at alll.
Just Epic team🤙🤙

@TheSluicers ...I hope so. ....the Australian gold shows are laughable...and yes , I know how excited you git and it doesn't take much.
Yes...i smell fish also... And old saying, "only a fool gets fooled"...
@@TheSluicers been watching you for quite a while. your reaction seemed forced, and your and your dads eyes were darting left and right. something feels off here. sorry, but i dont believe this one
27:21 best find so far...
Good..good...bro...nice...nice..
Yo I found this channel from the tv lol
Go the kiwi boys
Congratulations!
Do you have an accurate idea of the depth at which you dug it below the coil? Or an open air depth test figure even?
Cheers thanks heaps. I would guess it was around 20-25inches or around 60-70cm depth of the nugget, was a faint but large target from the surface.

Well done guys great to show the globe nz still has lots of big nuggets to be found biggest i found is 5.2 grams
Thanks heaps! Yeah definitely New Zealand has produced the most gold per square kilometre of any country! 5.2 is still a bloody ripper nugget! We would still be over the moon for anything like that even now, took us 4 years to find something over 5 grams.
Freakin awesome nugget

Nice...nice...bro...uuu giveing...areway...things...bro
nobody show this to shane jones, he'll strip mine that forest just to find one more nugget like that
congrats, guys :) :)
He actually would!
definitely had fish and chips that night
Cute way to ‘pan’ the winning name.
I'm on the way 😅❤
Amazing 👏 ehoama
Супер❤👍👍👍👍
That was planted 😂😂
I think this is a sarcastic comment as per the laughing faces? Good joke 😂.
yep by nature
Sorry, you were quoted as saying
" possibly westcoast"
How is a 40 gram nugget worth 10k?
@@JohnWilson-cs7iq Your right we have been offered 12 and haven’t even advertised it for sale. 12-13 might be more realistic.
Recheck the hole
We did after, actually got two more pieces out of it that weighed 0.11 and 0.23 respectively, unfortunately we didn’t get it on camera though as we were too buzzed from the big nugget.
That would have to be over 2 oz
👍
Shot guys
Would of kept this hush hush lol
