Following the trail of gold from the rivers into the creeks for the big gold!!

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- It's winter here in Tasmania and my gold prospecting gets much trickier to execute, with shorter days, sopping wet rainforests and swollen river and creeks. So in today's video we shoot back in time to the summer months where the conditions were much better not only for prospecting but for filming with more light through the lenses.
I'll be joining up with my mate Rob Parsons on an overnight adventure to search for new gold deposits. We'll be pack rafting a new stretch of river and exploring a feeder creek for those good gold deposits.

My two favorite Tassie gold prospecting Ol' Blokes on RUclips, Levi and Rob, the two best gold prospecting channels on RUclips. ❤
I really enjoy it when you and Rob team up
Nice job boys
Wow nice time in the field. Blessings To the both of you
I learn a lot of things from you in these videos and I intend to use all these techniques in my prospecting ❤️👏
Those were the days! Sore muscles, Rob by the fire and nuggets in the snuffer. Still living my life trough you!❤️
Good to see two blokes using Queens Anne Rule for kayak filling and no fisticuffs! Love both of your channels! Greatest gold on RUclips.
It’s a great day when Levi gives us a new video to enjoy! It’s 104 degrees here today, with fires all up and down the state, so getting some eye candy that looks soooo cool and not scorching, is wonderful!
Your causing me a dilemma 😁what use to be my Sunday morning viewing with a cup of tea has become late night Friday viewing 😅great video and gold as always ✨✨
Haha sorry 😆
Thanks for the trip, nice to hear you chew the fat over geology and erosion of the gold deposits. Look forward to the next fix 👍
Yeah it’s good fun trying to figure it all out
All rocks have different MOH scale hardness, depending on what has happened to them ie; volcanic activity, glacier, water, heat, meteor. The base basalt will generally take on a similar hardness because of what minerals it is comprised of and how it was made.
Each mineral has a specific hardness. Some rock can have multiple hardness depending on which mineral you scratch within the rock. Some rocks become altered which changes the original minerals into other mineral(s). These definitive properties are key to identification.
Alteration halo/envelope around a vein can create features. Silicification causes hardness and resistive rock. While chloritization (alteration to chlorite, a common alteration associated with gold veins) can make the material around the vein soft and it may wear into a depression.
Awesome Adventure Levi! Good Seeing You And Rob Exploring Beautiful Tassie!!! The COLOAH On That GOLD Is Just Beautiful!!! Thanks For Sharing Brother...TNT MP, HEAVY PANS AND GOLD FEVER ALWAYS FAM!!!!
Oh nice I’ll have to watch this later tonight I’m heading out detecting hopefully I can find some nice nuggets. hope your doing well
You’ve got some balls going out in the Tasmanian winter 👍
I live in Melbourne and all the rivers are to swollen and mud infested to go out ,to many leeches,have to wait until at least the end of August.
It’s awesome to be able to watch Tassie boys whilst I wait in my house until this very cold Victorian winter is finally over.
Cheers mate ❄️👍❄️
Yeah i certainly haven’t been as much this year bast the past few winters I have it a good hard crack
Great adventure great soundtrack Great crevice! 👏👏👏
Awsome trip mate I’ve often wondered about how fast rocks erode and decimate the gold and we’ve seen the rivers slightly change year to year ,time vs weather events and rock types all play apart mate the things we ponder aye hope ya well mate cheers
Okay sleep can wait another 25mins and 50 seconds just saw the tassie boys notification, thank you again for these brilliant videos many successful adventures wished to you from over here in Scotland 🏴
Great to see you my friend hope all is good with the family be safe out there brother 🙏
Awesome gotta love new vids from the guys
Congratulations patreon winners…. We love our hoodies 🩶
Another Incredible video with you and Rob Parsons! Love it when you guys team up and find nuggets!
I talk often with Luke from where’s winks, he might even swing by my neck of the woods in Oregon.
You are my favorite Gold RUclipsr and the main reason I got into sniping Levi, Thanks man!

Not long till spring & summer….. 🌺🌿👏🦋🌸
What a pearla vid to start the weekend!
Beauty mates!
Of course we liked it (more than rob apparently lol) it’s crazy how far a stream or river can move from floods all it takes is a large obstruction (large tree or huge Boulder) and it can alter the water way by tens or hundreds of meters in just one flood especially if it’s an alluvial plain instead of a rock bound canyon. Hydraulic flow is amazing. And your absolutely right about sitting on a deposit that’s why the old timers dug all those pits up on benches trying to find the paystreaks from way back when the gold was larger and not beaten to a pulp lol. Was very odd to see that large nugget where it was. Maybe that particular section had a major flood event recently and washed all the bedrock and crevices clean but left it behind if so all the gold that was there is further downstream where the river widened and dropped all the overburden it flushed out (which would be very hard to go through and probably 2-3 feet thick ) great adventure bummer that winter is causing you issues with sniping it will end soon enough I reckon. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
The different colours of gold r gorgeous and the places u find the gold.
Yes Levi! New vid, get in :) Thank you
I loved the hypothetical convo around the 20-21 min mark. That's a yarn that might flesh out some good deposits between the two of you genius snipers.
I know what Levi was trying to say with the sanding comment! And Rob's comment about geology wearing the same.
Man, if i were still in that neck of the planet i'd hump a bag of gear to give you fellas a hand.
Yeah there’s a lot to think about when it comes to gold
Nice to see you fellas spurring each other on and teaming up in the colder months🙌
Good video Levi.
Thanks Levi & Rob, great video. Love seeing those nugs. Janice
Always enjoy watching you and Rob team up!
new vid from the lads...always fun
When Milling Gold Ore,we always blended Ores from different pits.
As they assisted each other in being broken down.I guess the same occurs in nature when the River erodes different rocks together.Eventually they will all break down around the same time.
I loved to hear you guys talking by the fire. That's just how me and my prospecting mate chat during the nights. Keep up the fantastic work 😎💪
Wahoo... adventures..!!
We love crevasses 👏💛👏
Though luck but really clean and smooth nugget!
You two were hilarious too by the way good commentary!
Great video Levi and Rob. Well done. It amazes me you could find any gold there in Tassie. Tough work but someone’s got to do it.
So refreshing to see one of your videos. With nothing on but politics running amok. It's a nice change to something pure and innocent. Away from the realities mundane goings on. It's awesome, whether it's winter or summer there. I may have to plan for a trip. But I'm going to have to shed some of this ice cream weight😂
Whooohooo… good morning Levi 💛👋👏
Another quality video from the Tassie boys 🙌 love seeing you guys out sniping the creeks of Tasmania, great find with the nugget too! 🥷
Even if >t was from last Summer....it's good to see you.
I would love to see you find a actual lode source to some of these river deposits.
Great job as always Levi. I guessed 2.1 on the big piece. Close 😁👌
Nice video Levi great to see the Dynamic Dual again !! Don't like to see you hurt yourself though ! Things happen ! Thanks again from your pal Kevin in France and Florida
Thanks for sharing ! Keep up the cool videos!
You need to invent a core drill that attaches to a tree so it can be packed in to those areas to sample the old river beds to find the rich gold.
Love your videos Levi, I’m in the Ukrainian Carpathian’s at the moment near the Prut River and would love to do some prospecting but alas don’t have any equipment.
Don't worry Levi, summer will be here before you know it! I'm not so thrilled about summer given I'm in the tropics and would MUCH prefer to be down in Tassie, ha ha, but it will at least make it nicer for you!
As usual, a really adventures time you and Rob had. I love the content 😊 Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪
I love watching your videos its so cool to see a different version of the PNW (Pacific northwest US) i grew up in an old growth forest in the foothills of the cascade mountains so it screams "home" to me. Being in the rain in the woods was the best therapy and still is. Sadly no gold bearing creeks or streams nearby but I do rockhound. I always see your videos and think "i wonder if he could look for some agates for me while hes digging around 🤔" lmao but anyways keep up the awesome videos!
Awesome vid ,thank you ❤
Nice vid GI-Joe!
always watching to you guys,, from Philippines..❤
Another great video thanks 😊 👍
Makes me want to come down to tassie for a few weeks or months to try my hand at sniping.
Been watching your videos for a long time now and always look forward to seeing the notification that you've got a new one out.
Keep on keeping on guys 👌
“why would you do that?” 😂❤
Sweet videos boys.sub to both your channels and love the adventure and history walks you take us on. Not an Australian but so interesting.
Thanking you.
" LEGENDS "
As always, like and comment… then watch.
Looks so fun
espero que te recuperes pronto fue una excelente aventura saludos desde Colombia
Great video .Cheers from Oatlands..
Nice one fellas 👍
wishing this was hard rock protecting
I like to take my tarp set-up, & my prospecting buddy calls it the ‘Andy-Mahal’. It’s easy to set up, & definitely worth doing, if the rain comes in!
Levi, I know you look at crevices and find gold lying in openings in the clay. Have you ever found gold completely encased within clay?
Faster erosion in softer materials is what makes waterfalls.
id love to see you 2 set up a base and stay for a whole week trying to reach a certain gold goal
easy on those digits mate! they're worth more than gold!
Good work!
Great Video
Nice one
Great video 🎉
Senang melihat anda berpetualang gold seraching...god job frends. Form indonesia.
Levi, it might be time to consider adding some extra long self locking tweezers in your kit.
Wow, what a beautiful catch, you guys.
Congratulations from East Texas!
Also, did you guys melt a hole through the tarp?
Nice brother!
Ouchy finger 🥹😫… be safe, thanks for the video 💛
Que linda aventura gracias por compartir la experiencia
Come to otago new zealand, first weekend i got my sdc2300 i found like 20 sun bakers on a random stream, and a 11g chunk still attached to a quartz vein, i have that area saved on gps 😁
Hard work 💪
Every Man loves a TEXTBOOK CREVICE 😂....
LOL
CHEATING..!! It’s called wisdom .!! When you were inflating the kayak..
That’s a bugger about your finger.. probably throbbing all day.
Cheers Famo59 🍻👍⛏️
Gday guys, great vid again makes me tense up thinking of that cold tassie water.just a suggestion,have youse thought about clearing out that boil hole at 18.37 mins into vid ,im thinking how much gold might be under the rocks,natural gold trap.All the best going forward chasing the colour.Gerry.
8.26 gm to all, good here, Happy Momday to all....
Oh! And sorry about your smashed finger man! I’ve done that one more than once ouch.
Yeah it’s a painful thing to do that I’ve done it a few times over the years 😖
“Fine yourself a crevice son”
Good advice.
Haha - I recognise that campsite
I haven't been seeing your videos, so i looked, and somehow i was unsubscribed from your channel.
I had to resubscribe..
Good to be back.
Blesings from Puerto Rico come to mi island man hope too now both of you
haha so easy in your country, i will coming one day ans still all thé gold ;)
Dam it i thought you would do a winter snipe so i could get a laugh seeing you putiting on a wet wetsuit in in the morning 😢
God Id love to join you two for a trip
Watching u 2 together
Cold heads off heat
How's the wind.
Hello, thanks for the amazing work ! I wonder, do you think i can find similar gold in river of France, not far from the Alps ?
Bad timing on that squeaky fart 😂 lol nah jk love the videos 🎉
Do you ever come back to a honey hole that you've depleted the year before and have it replenished after the rainy season?
Levi and Rob. L & R. Left and Right..... lol
Haha 👍🏼
Is it worth test panning the huge boil holes? SURELY they constantly get replenished.
👍👍👍
