Exploring Some Local GOLD History at Warrandyte

A little something different in this video. I take a look at and explore some local gold related historical sights and spots l at Warrandye, Victoria...which is just down the road from me. Plus a really quick dig at the end in a somewhat special creek.
Thanks for watching. And a new prospecting video shouldn't be too far off ;)

[@sammiibb]

Nice Video my Man !! ... I grew up in warrandyte, so pretty nostalgic....Now I will buy gold mining equipment !!!

[@jennyohara4011]

I found a couple $2 coins in Anderson creek from 1982 , that means not too many others looking, i need to dig deeper

[@loven29]

Thanks for sharing the history of Warrandyt gold great job

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Interesting info.

[@Blumx1]

Really good video - thanks for sharing. I did a bit of exploring for gold at Warrandyte some 35 years ago with no success. I also remember going through the Pound Bend tunnel when the water was really high in a canoe - bad mistake ..lol. You did teach me some history I was not aware of ...thanks for that. :)

[@DigginForGold]

Haha I bet it was indeed a mistake. When the water levels get high that tunnel turns into a beast. But yeah intersting place but as you say theres not a lot of gold left. Still a good day out. Anyways thanks 👍

Awesome vid on Warrandyte mate.
I started out there too years ago and still enjoy an arvo there occasionally. End of the vid there you show some of my workings.. :)

[@DigginForGold]

Small world ey. Tis definitely a pretty cool spot to have in the middle of the suburbs.

[@sirwilliamofpennylot]

[@DigginForGold]

Will do. Thanks

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

[@hookysprospecting3874]

cool vid well done and some gold to go

[@DigginForGold]

Thanks

[@gods1lla]

Great vid, I was unaware the island was originally a diversion. It's such a nice area too.

[@DigginForGold]

Yeah I've driven past it for years without realising it. Its cool to learn about new and interesting things on your doorstep ey.

[@timvivoda5208]

great video as a new prospector still trying to learn how to pan .i will go to this location and give it a go .thanks for the great effort and history .really enjoyed watching thanks for the video its excellent.

[@DigginForGold]

Yeah tis the perfect place to cut your teeth since its close and easy to get to. It worked for me 😊

[@pjgold8018]

Onya mate.. In the mid 1970's when suction dredging arrived in OZ my brother and myself did a little work in Anderson's Creek, Warrandyte >> Dredging wasn't so much of an issue back then ;-) .. Great fun and we had some reasonable results.. Like you say its a great spot to visit to do a little panning.. Cheers

[@davideldridge8886]

I've seen over 2oz of gold come out of warrandyte... my biggest bit is 2.5g

[@TJGold]

Was that in the creek? that’s a ripper

[@ainsleywainsley]

Nice i got my first gold at Anderson's creek too, if you want a tip on another spot where you can always pull gold that is close to Warrandyte 1 word - gorge

[@Kwanglebeh]

Jumping Creek still has some glitter.

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

AUST $ 3,200 per ounce = good luck anybody !

[@WesleySnlpes]

Very well done vid mate. Love it.
If you haven't already, you should check out Yankee Jim's mines up near Upper Yarra Dam. See if you can find them all! Cool little Creek there too.

[@DigginForGold]

Aha I haven't checked those out. On to the list they go 👍

[@35andsolid]

good one !

[@DigginForGold]

👍👍👍

[@arthur7220011]

Last time I was at Andersons Creek there was rubbish everywhere, the funniest part was the sign I saw further along that said (Clean Waterways Victoria).....

[@DigginForGold]

Haha the irony must have reached a critical limit because it wasn't that bad (for where it is in the middle of suburbia) when I was there.

[@monke1287]

[@goldchannel93]
