My brother with fine gold from another county, Thank you but you need to run the sawtooth mat during clean up's at 6 degrees and run the bilge pump speed controller at around 800 gph. I run the water flow on our beach at 800 gph "magic number with super fine gold" when running in the field with running 10 square feet of sluice and less migration. Darn flat small light weight gold pieces AGH. Try that, you see the that fine gold stays. And it never hurts to throw in some jet dry to help when dong that at home. Love the gold you are getting, as it is the same as us. Nice spot you found....go get it you found a really good spot. Thanks for the mention!
I'll do just that! Thank you. I had it at 6 degrees too before the video, then insisted the legs. Go figure.
I'll install a that controller soon!
Also I don't use jet dry as it's super toxic to dogs.
Have to agree, the water flow i see often freaks me out as far as fine gold capture goes.
@@VoGusProspecting I did not know that about jet dry. Thanks for the info, i have 4 dogs.
@@VoGusProspecting , i did not know that jet dry was toxic to dogs, what would you suggest my friend ? thankyou. i have a couple doggies. suzie is one, you will see her on patriot gold -norcal smoked gold episode. well heavy pans to ya brother.
Hey Chris, I was unaware you had invasive Gorse bushes in Australia. The thorny buggers are a right pain in the arse ain't they? However, if you're interested, I hear the flowers make a nice tea or wine, and the wood, while not big enough for real lumber, is rot resistant and durable. (A useful feature for small tool handles exposed to the weather.) Heck, walking stick makers in the UK charge a couple hundred bucks for a furze (gorse) walking stick. Best way to clear out your awesome spot is to find a good use for the nasty stuff... It's Murphy's Law of gardening in action: once you find a use for it, it will start to die off.
Your knowledge of gold finding, gold mining, gold prospecting and any and everything gold...is mind blowing!
When a young guy such as yourself can teach a wealth of information to the old timers then you got it going on! And you got it going on brother!
Awsome job , love the grizzly endings .
Thanks!
Yep! Thanks for sharing the grizzly memories
Hey Chris, not that I think its anyway detrimental to the creek, because of floods and such....because your last highbanking episode saying don't run into creeks,
Oi.... but you have taught me so much..... legend!!👍👍👍
I also said "where possible", because as we all know its not always possible to put tailings into a pond.
As we both know, floods do more than my highbanker.
Hey Chris, just a tip with the batea pan... Don't let the material go all of the way to the edge of the pan when you go to check it. Tip it slowly. Before any material gets to the edge, stop and rotate the pan slowly. The fines should settle on the pan over more surface while the loose gravels and residual water rolls out. This is especially helpful when working fine and chunky gold in general, but would probably be even more beneficial in areas where there's less than average black sands & heavies. You paid for the whole pan -- you might as well use it. lol
Grizz was such a dude. Miss him heaps
me too, im a dog lover.
im excited to finally see you hitting a hibanker hard, That aria looks so good :) Im also in love with the phrase + and - kitchen strainer haha
I have been going back and watching a lot of your old videos.
I worked a very rich prospect where soil samples often ran 25-50ppm Au in a few places. We striped these back and could easily hand pan 2 gm from 10 big pans, but very very fine, a few chunks now and then. I bought a small kerne backpack dredge thinking I'll kill it and gets ounces. Happily set up and ran the dredge all day..... practically no gold, no practical adjustments could fix the issue, some chunks but all the fines blown out, so 90% of the gold gone. Super fine gold is very hard to capture in a dredge, there are some other methods such as puddling and super pans or even mercury coated copper plates, but I haven't seen anybody utilise these in recent times. Good luck with your prospect.
Loved it! I was spot on with the weight guess. First time I’ve nailed it.
"Higglty pigglty" lol. Love those aussie phrazes.
Wow that was a very nice video here. That creek might be deeper than your shovel you was using. Lol. Thanks for the videos. Very education here in East Tennessee USA.
Worst part about digging in the creek bed - the murk that stops you from being able to see what you’re doing
Also using a length of rebar to break up the gravels can be easier than a pick when your hole gets deeper
I will say that out of the various prospecting vids I watch yours is by far the most informative.
Maybe a fun idea to do in a few years, sweep up your patio and look for lost gold at home
Falling asleep standing up lmao. He was fighting it hard 😁 Nice deposit there. Can't wait for the yabby of the bottom video.
Watching your video, encourage myself to have a go at panning, seeing that I live only a short distant from the Gulf digging. On my first day I meet 2 fellow snipers and enjoy their company at the end of the day. The next time I went panning I had a run in with a land owner telling me to get off her land. I did my research and were I was was legal. It was a creek crossing a public road. I query her with a "are you sure". Her reply was I am calling the police. I reply "go for it" for you will be the one copping a fine. Because that Polaris you are driving is not allow to be driving on a public road. After offering this advice she spat it and tore off up the road and I went back to prospecting and the police never turn up. I did not realise how entertaining panning was. Thanks Vogas.
Good to see the clips of grizzly Chris we will always remember him dearly but I still struggle watching him just can’t help it Grizzly was a special son to you and Zoe so I hope every passing day you’re pain eases.I am loving the new gold hope you hit a big pay streak you deserve it for the effort you put in.
Very nice spot you found there. Good clean up.
Surely enjoy all your videos.
Thanks Chris for sharing your adventures. ✌👌
Nice work Chris, love to see the hard work you're putting in for that beautiful gold!
Hey chris. One of the tricks I've used to avoid splashing myself in the face with the pick is to somewhat drag the pick through the water as it makes contact with the surface. I just bring my hands in a little closer to my body as the tip of the pick hits the water and it throws the splash forward instead of straight up in my face.
100% do that myself. However this ground is like cement so it does not work without hitting it.
Honestly brings tears to my eyes to see Grizzie at the end of the vid. Always tugs at my heart. 😢
Like the new camera work Chris. Great vid,again👍
Just couldn’t wait till morning. 3am and well worth staying up for
So many big new words for me to learn. Awsome clip. Might have to take a lil chainsaw with the crowbar, gorse sux
So cool to hear the frogs, crickets, etc. Finally got to watch this one! BTW Chris. You are a legit gold prospecting genius/Yoda. How well you cover geology, gold types, and best conditions to find gold is exceptional. Thank you!
PS BTW With Bruce you at least get a nice cooling spray of water with each swing. ;D
You'll see him again Chris. Wouldn't be a Heaven without him.
Bloody hell that's some crystal clear water !!! Nice !
Thanks for the great giveaways! Bre and I loved the footage at the end with Grizzly trying to defy the laws of naps and gravity.
Gee those surroundings would have me looking at my laces from a prone position thinking, just another 5, & i'll get started. Nice gold Chris & finding coarse pickers in the creek might lead to some small specimen nuggets. 👍. Good luck & keep on picking. (Soggily)?
Loved seeing old footage of Grizzly dozing off at the end of the vid...Made me chuckle when he sat up, shook his head and looked around...'where am I?' 'Hope no-one saw me'👍🇦🇺
I loved watching your water bottle sluce and all your other information on finding gold and of course the Grizzly pics thank you and keep safe 👍👍
Our pleasure!
Love the superb cinematography. You have the gift my friend! 🍻
Howdy from Oklahoma USA ! Great job as usual, love your positive attitude it always make me smile.
What a sleepy boy! So tired from moving all that dirt. I bet there is gold on that nose! Great vid bro
Yeah - dog-tired.
I love learning new things, like the geologic terms "imbricated" and "higgledy piggledy". I'll be looking for ways to use the second one in everyday conversation. Keep up the great work 👍
Luv from AZ. You need a big "Dolly Pot to smash material.
I.have 2 of them!
Awesome looking area and dirt. Good lesson. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful ending to a wonderful video! Miss seeing that fury ball of joy around in the videos, but he is happy you are thriving in thoughts of him!
That looks like some crazy TICK territory...!
Luckily I've never had one from here
the gauze flower makes a lovely wine 😁
Very nice looks like all the yella is in the 'false bottom'. I keep working that all out.
Good clean out there. All I got today was a few fly poops (6 to be exact) lol also just set up the Patreon following. Ment to do it forever ago, just kept forgetting lol.
Scrug Mc Duck moment
With the paint brush 😊😁
Thanks Chris. Glad I watched to the very end. Miss Grizzly in your videos.😭
Duuuuuuuude that hat ain't old nor mouldy! Looks brand spanka! 😂😂
Still gotta thumbs up from me chris'o
✌✌✌✌✌✌👍👍👍👍👍
watching your videos from Ontario Canada. Ive done some panning and slucing in my area, no luck yet, but I do live in a high gold producing area. Many production gold mines near me
Chris glad you got some mold on that hat. Keep up the great videos and go find a 2 Kilo nugget you deserve one. Just dont find mine OK😀
Amazingly hard packed creek bed considering it's makeup and the fact it's wet, not dry.
I is a formalized english Teacher at many years.
heh heh
And as I recall 'awesome' is at a higher level of super-wonderfulness than 'magnificent'. In other words, hoping to find magnificence when you're in the midst of awe would be a comedown.
But then, you are in Australia... where whirlpools circle counter-clockwise, as do the rounds in poker, or so I've heard.
If so, never mind, carry on. Jolly good fellow!
Wait till you learn that we swear at out friends as a term of endearment.
Found out that moss along the foothills in CaliFOREIGNia is loaded with fine gold.
Great results! Liked 👍🏻 & entered to the competition 👍🏻
Excellent videos and picking up on you’re technique the more I watch the more I learn!
Used my skills today at the river and was getting a good spek count every pan!
Now to go back with the sluice 😁👌🏴🏔⚒
The video and seeing grizz falling asleep made me smile in my heart,thanks Chris,peace Napa California
Thanks Chris, really good haul for your effort...
That material is similiar to the matrerial im currently working except i have a bit more clay content. Its extremly hard digging without a pick its impossible. We half to classify to 1/4 inch to run through our river sluices.
I watch your videos on my iPad. When you're panning I find I'm rocking and swishing my tablet along with you .
That's funny!
Great video bro grizzly looks Tuckered out lol keep finding shiny
Great video as always. Also good to see your Grizzly. Makes me smile and cry at the same time.
Looks like Tiger Snake heaven in there, i heard frogs, keep your eyes out for them.
Typical mine owner, working the "Mine Boss" till he drops. LOL, Grizzly is priceless.
As usual, helps me understand all aspects of sluicing, thank you so much
Yeah i was wondering about that flake i saw it b4 you was thinking i was going blind... :)
That’s awesome. I’m on the way to help!
Love the disclaimer in the beginning Chris. Good stuff mate, you already know people would be in upheaval about that :O)
Plug that nipple with a ball bearing..? Also Chris, have you thought of using a probing rod that you can push into the ground to give you some idea of how deep the bedrock might be..?
Yes the probing rod is a great thing! I made a video on that about a year ago!
Love your videos.
Looked like you were running your clean up a little hot
Aww sleepy boi☺️, I’ve had 2naps today lol, I’m back to the creek for a week tomorow to clean my latest spot!
Great video love seeing grizzly at the end
Glad you enjoyed
Waiting patiently in Arizona. Thanks to you my new batea pan arrived from B.C. Canada today.
Love the gold your finding Chris. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
I think you created a lake. LOL
Great video Chris , loving the macro shot at the end and the golden smile . 👍
That looks to be a sweet spot..nice gold
Another awsome video bro. Keep up the good work and heavy pans to ya!
R.I.P. GRIZZLY
Another great video, thanks Chris for keeping us all entertained.
That was a phat take, happy days
Chris, my sympathies for having to deal with gorse. I have seen that stuff once here in Oregon. It can be a truly horrific, terrifying plant.
The like to dislike ratio speaks for itself. Your videos have improved greatly since even just 6 months ago Chris, excited to see what you have planned for us in the future.
Always developing mate
That looks absolutely freaking awesome. I always love watching your channel. Australia is on y bucket list. So maybe some year I’ll actually be able to meet you in person.. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I've been binging ur vids the last few days and I'm getting a massive itch tbh lol
I normally look at the top of a pool or place where the water slows, as the gold is the first material to fall out of suspension and dig as deep as I can.
In the case of erosion stripping away overburden from a deposit the gold will migrate down the stream just like in your sluice, and it will actually be found further down the stream.
Since it's so hard packed it can't settle down through the layers and concentrate at the bottom, but there will be bands throughout, I think that's what you're saying/finding?
That's the one mate!
This was seriously a fun one! Thanks for sharing!!!
Looks like some rough bush, likely kept the others away haha
Nice Work buddy, great video
Hi Chris, I live the vids and keep them coming, don't worry my dog got a big scratch for you.
Mate I'm digging something similar near you and would love to talk more about it.
Cheers
Nice gold lol maybe you should think about using a smal rototiller 😆 thank you for sharing
Great idea
Love ya videos. But I have noticed something. Y'all dig and dig. But where the hell are all the big rocks? Here in East Tennessee we did in Rivers and get tons of 5" to15" rocks all the time! That fine gravel digging is a freeze dude. Lol
The bedrock here is sandstone. So it does not create big rocks. It just disintegrates.
i am new to the channel ,,,, I will become an old mouldy hat !! new to prospecting to .. im in .. ive found stuff all but i will FIND GOLD !! Kempsey has bugger all gold so i get to go on tour to look for gold ... good times ahead ,,,...,,, its not all about the gold its a package deal the places ive bean ,,, the places i will visit !!! PROSPECTING IS GREAT !!!
That’s a solid giveaway!!!
Oh so can't wait to get back up there.
Hi Chris, yours is my favorite channel. How often do you get to go gold panning? I finally found a couple spots within 25 mike's if my home in Seattle and love getting 0.1-0.4 gm per day. Hard wages but love it. Your show psyches me up to go 1-2 times a week this fall.
I'm out about twice a week. Three times on a good week.
You have the best content on this platform!
Chris so sorry I missed live chat today was still a sleep but awesome video love the information you share as always very informative hope to run into you on COD during the Halloween event again thanks for the great video
Another great vid Chris. Can’t wait until the “wall of steel” is down so we can get out and play around out there.
Just wondering (this question is for anyone out there), when is the point when your high banker or sluice full and starts to push gold out the bottom? 3/4 full? Totally full? 1/2 full? I understand it would have to do with angle and water flow, but at what point do you check?
Great video as always. great info
Imbricated rocks can indicate virgin ground.
Thanks for doing another contest. I just entered all options. Woohoo. 🤩
I miss Grizzly (certainly not as much as you) He was as much fun to watch as you were finding gold.
Nice gold great spot
Wow great gold by any standards
