Discover How Ancient Gold Was Found In Fresh Basalt

- The basalt that was released in Victoria, Australia is devoid of any gold... at least that's what most think. In one part in Victoria, ancient gold was found intermingled with young basalt and scoria in a place known as Camperdown. Discover how this was the case in this video.

That is extremely interesting. I live in a gold producing area in oregon where scoria is also found. I might crush a couple pieces just to see now lol
Make sure ya wear protective gloves as that stufff is sharp and make you prone to infection if you get lacerated by a piece of it...
Cheers!
@@mickgatz214 oh I know it is sharp as heck lol I've just never taken it down to powder and panned it out.
@@garrettmillsap Id love to know how you go! I crushed a 500 million year old piece of basalt derived from a volcanic arc and it yielded gold so you never know until you try! Thanks for watching 😊
@@OzGeologyOfficial if I find any values I will respond to this message!

True..?
Well; that just bids strength to the logic that gold exists where you find it.
Even though the best gold resides where it's never been found..!
Lake Purrumbete neat Camperdown .Large rock on west side - scoria layer on east banks.Good fishing.
Can you do a video on the qld gemfields
Thank you
Terrific episode! Coincidentally, while out in the garden, my wife tried to attack me with a spray bottle she must've stashed in the fridge. But she'd picked out the spray bottle that doesn't work very well, so it was more of an effusive dribble on her hand than an explosive scoria eruption of shocking cold on my - erm - ozgeologist's fissure.
The explosive eruption happened a moment later in the form of her laughter when she found out I kept the miserable bottle and substituted it for the good one, in the expectation she would misuse it for nefarious exploratory purposes.
Where have you been?
I thought you must have buggered off looking for gold or something.
Anyway, ❤from Western Australiastan
The powers that be have fucking fucked us up over here.
Use to be a wonderful country
I’ve been engaged in some exploration 😊 the videos have just slowed down a little whilst I nerd out on gold in the Melbourne zone. What happened in Western Australia? I was hoping to take a trip down there soon to try my hand at discovering some untouched gold deposits. I hope it hasn’t become as strict as nsw regulations are.
@@OzGeologyOfficial you just about have to pay a fee and get permission to fart over here? I would be checking out all the regulations and requirements before I came over.
Yes, you said Mt Leura correctly. 🤲🏽 Often meaning small or little girl in Gunditjmara/Eastern Maar peoples lingo 🗝
Yeah, I'll give that a like.
hey mate if you were interested in suggestions id love to know more about olympic dam! otherwise keep up the good work
The Melbourne steam museum had a small jaw crusher last time I was there if you are still looking for one 🙂
Interesting! I wonder why they needed one. Thanks for sharing 😊
They're a museum, and collect stuff like that. It might have historical value. It might also be to demonstrate the transfer of power from the various engines. They have a big open event every labour day long weekend. Fun to see machines "doing" things.
There's ones you can buy new from china or if you know a good welder and can buy high grade plate steel, you can make your own.
What do you think about glacial push
i could swear you saiid ''fuckin rift'' 😂
Let’s turn Victoria into a MEGAPIT lol
@0:40 Was that a Bandicoot?
*Puts hand up* Gold is surely far more interesting than Diamond and predates the Solar System surely? Diamonds we can make in a lab. Gold is created in Kilonaovas, Type 2 supernovas and that's it. Not even Blackadder Sir Percy and Baldrick could manage it, they got green(if you have seen the period comedy)?
cubic zirconia aren't diamonds, just like covid vaccines..!
Finding gold is the only way to afford real estate in Austrslia.
Good place for a hill climb
Look up South New Moon mine in Bendigo. People are using that as a hill climb for 4WDs. 2 piles and possibly a third by the look of the satellite imagery. Parts are caving in and the government is trying to concrete over the cave ins. My great great grandfather ran that for 20 years after the founder took 2 years to get the equipment together and set it up. I think most profits went to British investors, but regardless he was quite rich (worth millions) and VERY powerful in local politics, bribing anyone who stood in his way, cops, newspapers and all. He was invited to the swearing in dinners of every major for DECADES. We still have all the invitations. His father owned a coal mine in wales, cousins husband had a copper mine somewhere that lost half its miners to tuberculosis.
First
I love your channel and as a recent subsciber have been working through your past vidoes. If I may make a request, I would be very interested in a geological explanation of how it was formed for what is marked on one map as a "Rock Scree". It is located in the Victorian High Country at -37.203837 146.663890 on Google Earth. It is accessable by 4wd on Howitt Rd north of Licola which becomes King Billy Track. Although it is visible on Google Earth as per the co-ordinates I have given, King Billy Track crosses this Geological point of interest a number of times as the track makes its way down the hill. As mentoned it is labelled as a Rock Scree on a topographical Rooftop Map of the area there are no further details. I would love to see a video of this amazing area as it is a place that I visit when ever I am in the area.
Might pinch my works Drill rig and give it a go 😂
🇦🇺 bundamba4304Australia 🇦🇺 hay brother.. Tnb here.. I have a stories 4 u about the old Aboriginal dream time stories about the rainbow serpent 🐍.. I found 2 rocks that fit in my hand.. in Mt Gravatt Brisbane Australia 4122. I can bring up Google earth maps on a tablet in this location in western Australia 🇦🇺 called De-Grey.. now u place both rock on top of map's @ the De-Grey mine site mountain ⛰️ range ⛰️. & both rocks match up perfectly perfect 2 that site... don't believe me.. well... if u just head east just over the river system from De-Grey mine site mountain ⛰️ range.. u find a 2nd serpent 🐍 layed out as the entire mountain ⛰️ ranges.. look 4 the spider 🕷 head of the serpent 🐍 she has a massive old open cut gold mine near her tail full of water 💧 have a look & get back 2 me & I can show you all I says... any-a-ways brother God Bless 🙌..Tnb from bundamba Australia🇦🇺4304
This makes me wonder about the Atherton tablelands in fnq. The whole area is volcanic.
It appears from sample you displayed that the gold lines the vesicles in the volcanic scoria.
Would this not suggest that this a post eruption weathering process. That is the gold is transported via ground water and as it encounters the scoria it falls out of solution (due to a change in chemistry of the scoria/ groundwater interaction) and the easiest place to rest is within the openings of the vesicles.
