That line as you call it follows the bardoc tectonic zone It’s a heavily mineralized region that follows fault lines and subsequent basaltic lava flow A lot of the gold in the area has sheared from orogenic gold deposits and either lies around that area in structure like greenstone or in eroded sediments of those structures
LOL I live in Washington state, and the WA in your title caught my attention. The accent threw me off but i figured, ok this is youtube people live everywhere, there could be someone from australia here..... nope. But i will finish the video and that will lead me to checking out australian geology, and then i shall compare that to our local geology, and thus increase my knowledge of gold, thank you sir.
@@sammyshreds Same here! Live in Mountlake terrace but looking to find somewhere further north (in Snohomish County) to pan. Washington government websites make it so hard to find public lands with access points.
Pulled a Three Ounce nugget out of that area you were looking at plus another Ounce in nuggies about 8 years ago.. That's the Gunga Gold Mine and I'm pretty sure the Landgate imagery is out of date....there's a Big hole there now and I can tell you from experience all around that area has been absolutely hammered by local prospectors. you might pick up a few grams if you go hard with a GPX 6000. If you live in the city and you want to drive 6 hours out this way, do yourselves a favor and keep going past Kalgoorlie and head out into Yundamindra or Porphyry area.. Look at area's with Banded Iron, Laterite and definitely any contact zones you can get to, Its nice to Detect around the old workings if you like digging trash all day, I guarantee you will do better just swinging your detector over good looking ground with no workings....easier said than done of course. Cheers mate great Video, I wanted to do something like this but never got around to it, you did a fantastic job of it 🍻👍
A 3 ounce nugget find must have been a real buzz! I totally agree the Landgate footage is old, I believe they only fly areas when requested by local LGAs. So some areas haven't been filmed in a decade or more. Pity geoview doesn't have other sources of Imagery. I chose that area purely to demonstrate the techniques. You've got some great videos up on your channel, I would recommend others definitely check them out. Stay safe!
Another great video, Bruce, and very helpful. The downside to all the drilling and ground disturbing activity is going to be the amount of junk that's been left behind...nails, rusty tin, bits of wire, etc...but there is likely to be an increased chance of finding gold in the areas that you have identified!
Hello and thank you for your videos. Have you had to deal with Cadastre land? I'm having difficulties identifying private properties within pending tenements. I appreciate any of your help, sincerely.
Thanks for the great video Bruce. Do you know if the Abandoned mines inventory still works in Geoview? My version will not open. I followed all your prompts. Thanks again.
Thank you for your help. If you were to pick a place to live or base yourself for prospecting in WA what town would you live as we my wife and son are moving to WA to live?
From a purely prospecting point of view, any town in the goldfields makes it a short drive to prospective ground. Kal would be good, so would leonora or coolgardie. Hope that helps!
Im confused cause when i look around say south of coolgardie there looks to be a blue area inside a green area 13Klm just south of Kangaroo Hill. So to me thats saying there is a pending area in a no prospecting (green) zone!. The blue zone is pending and belongs to EASTERN COOLGARDIE GOLDFIELDS PTY LTD. So how is it saying you can work in the blue but it sitting in a Green active area.

Excellent explanation. You are the best out there.
Awesome video very informative easy to follow cheers mate

Thanks Bruce, I learnt sometime from your video. Cheers.
Good chatting with you

Did the same thing! What part of WA state do you prospect in?
ferry county, how bout you?
@dimracrhamacid1756 I'm actually in Oregon but I mostly prospect in Skamania County. Nothing spectacular gold wise down here compared to your area.
Me too haha Snohomish County

Very interesting and informative guide to using the site made easy to understand if your not a fan of the laptop.
Thanks so much.
As a newbie, Bruce your information is really appreciated and gives me something to build on thankyou
Awesome video. I’ve learnt so much. I’m in Sydney and keen to get over to WA and have a crack 👍. Another new subscriber 🤓
Awesome! Thank you!
Great information Part Time prospector. Really great to refresh how to use Geoview and look at pending ground etc. Thanks for sharing that info
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, thanks Bruce!
Thanks Peter. Got more to come!
Best explanation I’ve seen so far. Well done.👍

@@Part_Time_Prospector Cheers mate, You're doing a great job on the Vids, good luck out there👍🍻
Thank you for all, very informative review 👍
Glad you liked it!
fantastic easy way to review potential areas, been looking at how to do this as heading over early 2023
It's not a guarantee that you will find gold at any of these locations, but it significantly stacks the odds in your favour. .
Really really useful- thanks!
Thank you for the positive!

That's very true! Drillers sure leave a lot of junk around :)
Very informative 👍
Very interesting video. I'm not in the position to do it yet, but a girl can dream. I've subbed thank you 💖 xx

Hello and thank you for your videos. Have you had to deal with Cadastre land? I'm having difficulties identifying private properties within pending tenements.
I appreciate any of your help, sincerely.
Any equivalent website for NSW? Great video
So long as you have a miners right, you can prospect on any land that is shaded blue?
Your vid has been a big help for a newbie🤙🤙

Thanks for the great video Bruce.
Do you know if the Abandoned mines inventory still works in Geoview? My version will not open. I followed all your prompts. Thanks again.
I would love to go with you 🤣

From a purely prospecting point of view, any town in the goldfields makes it a short drive to prospective ground. Kal would be good, so would leonora or coolgardie. Hope that helps!
What about the areas that show drilling and historic mining activity but have no shading (blue or green)?
I know to go
Im confused cause when i look around say south of coolgardie there looks to be a blue area inside a green area 13Klm just south of Kangaroo Hill.
So to me thats saying there is a pending area in a no prospecting (green) zone!.
The blue zone is pending and belongs to EASTERN COOLGARDIE GOLDFIELDS PTY LTD.
So how is it saying you can work in the blue but it sitting in a Green active area.
Go to only those areas that are just blue. Stay away from the green aeeas and the blue and green areas.
Hopefully that helps!
Thought this was for Washington USA
Sorry, wrong WA :)
Can foreign tourists buy a metal detector like Minelab and search the fields for gold nuggets?
Sure can! All you need is a valid Western Australian prospector's right. Costs about AUD$25-30 and off you go!
Ycustegood
Thanks!
What if the tenement is green and blue? No go?
Correct, it's a no-go! Live always overrides pending.
I hope that helps!
@@Part_Time_Prospector thank you
how can you tell some one how to find gold in Washington when your in Australia ???????????
Haha.. Unfortunately, we both have the same state abbreviation!
