It's nice to see that a person can still gold prospect in Australia without the government breathing down your neck. Love your videos. Can you imagine the production if you used a high pressure water gun ?
Restrictions slowly tighten over time. Subtlety, slowly, but surely. Water monitors are a big no no here, but yes I can imagine. It would be excellent fun! Our rules here are essentially just to only excavate manually. No machinery. (Hand tools only).
First time catching one of your videos! Loved it and I really like your tromel . Helped design one similar to it a few years back. This sure has stirred the gold fever up alittle bit in me lol
@@TheGoldmansChannel I’ve recently moved from NSW coastal regions to VIC, Ballarat. I’ve done some detecting with a mate who has been bitten by the bug for years now 😂 We’ve never left any location empty handed. I’m just waiting for him to visit me in Ballarat so we can get out and amongst it again. ✨✨✨🍻🇦🇺
Lots of hard work definitely paid off for ya. Your killing it man keep up the good work. I love that trommel looks like a very nice setup and I have a special place in my heart for your mining buddy. I also have a sable GSD best dog ever!!
Another terrific trommel run, good colour. Great to see your out and pumping it through. Have you thought about putting some baffle plates in the trommel? Half moon plates off set, to slow down the gravels so they wash better. Just a thought. Cheers loving it 😊
Not the number sorry Rusty, I hadn't even thought of that one. It's just me trying to remember the bucket number though. The simple life's, the best life! Cheers mate! 🍻
@@TheGoldmansChannel Nah I didn't spot it on first viewing it and thought I would leave it to someone else. I'm after a bigger nugget anyway ;-) Decent downpour of rain. We really don't need it in the vineyard. You deserve all the success you have. You are certainly putting in the effort.
@@MrRickeyH Awhhh, thanks Rick! That's very nice of you to say. I'm also hoping the rain holds off for a while, things are starting to turn muddy again up here. Could use some extra rain water in the tank mind you...
Slow and steady wins the race I guess! The channel seems to be getting plenty of attention at the moment, hopefully it keeps slowly growing. I'm not on any forums though sorry, tricky enough to find time just for RUclips 😁. Thanks so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate it!
Great channel and enjoy watching your efforts. I do have to ask though: Do you reclaim the land as best you can? What happens to the tailings pile? Would be nice to see your dig sites put back as best you can. 🙂
Thanks Carl, yes I certainly do! It never goes back the same, but I put in effort to restore it in an environmentally conscious manner. I do have a hyperlapse clip to add to my next trommeling video showing me replace all of the cobble from that bank. Just haven't put that video together yet 👍👍
@@TheGoldmansChannel That is brilliant. I always love seeing what comes from the ground, how the ground is replaced and how nature does a great job of owning it. 👍
This video is great. it shows that if I have all the gear and do a lot of work in a great location I can make about $50 a day. So as much as I want to do this and would enjoy making and testing the gear its like all hobbies. Expensive. keep the videos coming I'll enjoy gold mining from afar.
You'll have to keep an eye out for comps in future videos James, I've sent gold prizes all over the world already. The postage is a killer, but a happy subscriber receiving their gold makes it worth it 😁. Thanks for tuning in!
Nice.. seems like you got everyrhing dialed in Mate. I would extend the sluice 1 foot or more just to catch whatever might run out...did you pan the sluice while running? Any loss? (Smart to run your tailings a 2nd time) 👍😁
I do a couple of pans out of the fine tailings per day just to make sure there's no big losses. I've found you've got to be pretty lucky to even get a few tiny specs from the fine tailings. Most of my losses are in the oversized in clay balls. So pretty often I'll run the oversized back through a second time and then discard it. I plan on doing a video in future detailing my belief that sluice extensions are a gimmick. But I'll have to do some thorough testing before I make that claim. It's certainly my opinion though! A good sluice doesn't need to be long
Add some fine mat in an 1ft extended sluice. You might me surprised. Since that water flow looked fast to me, due to the pumps, you might gain some fines at the end... just my thoughts. Check Freddie Dodge's vids from Gold Rush channel.. granted youre running buckets, not Tons... but Gold is Gold.. all the more helps 👍
@@chrishengeveld6117 that's the thing though, I've experimented with sluice extensions a bit in the past (before I sold this same trommel to a friend roughly 10 years ago) and the results weren't impressive at all. Also contrary to popular belief, more water is better than less. Keeps material moving to retain places for the gold to get caught. I've played around with that sort of stuff quite a bit and so far that's what I've worked out anyway. Keeping in mind too, I'm not new to the game. It's been over 14 years since I first got into it, and have found a heck of alot of gold in that time. So I feel that I've refined the whole technique pretty well in that time. Not to sound arrogant, I just really don't believe sluice extensions are necessary in 95% of situations 😝. Manufacturers and suppliers don't want us to believe that though of course.
@@chrishengeveld6117 I'm always down for these discussions though, we've all got different opinions based on our experiences. So it's important to discuss 😁
I havent been to Rocky yet unfortunately. Some mining history there I gather? I did do some deep lead work in Claremont a few years back, but that's about all I've done in QLD. I'm actually located in Vic 😊
G'day Fabi, thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment. I grab a couple of pan fulls from the fine sluice tailing and the oversized tailings per day. I have no concern whatsoever that I'm spitting gold out of the sluice, if there was a significant amount of black sand present during the work I may be inclined to clean the sluice out on a more regular basis. But typically I'm comfortable to put a weeks worth of work onto my sluice box before I worry about cleaning it out. There's alot of false info in regards to how sophisticated a sluice box needs to be. Prospectors have been getting fooled by equipment manufacturers for hundreds of years but the reality is, a sluice doesn't need to be special. I do spit some gold out the end of the trommel as oversized when the ground is very sticky. Sometimes I'll run the oversized again, but in most cases I'm happy to let it go. It's more productive to just keep feeding it good ground instead of wasting time on the scraps caught up in the sticky clays usually.
@@TheGoldmansChannel This is so true, 100% agree. I've run all day for 2 days (12" Gold Rat highbanker) in an area with loads of ironstone and lost only a few tiny bits in an added sluice extension. Maybe the tiny gold you'd find in 5 minutes of shovelling. Not worth worrying about!🙂👍
Myth Jeff. I'm not sure where so many people got mislead with that info. But if a river sluice isn't good enough to do a clean up in, how is it going to be good enough to run general material through? A sluice set up correctly in the creek is no different to a sluice set up correctly at home. 😊
Wow that trommel looks just like the one I made years ago. Very nice looking bank run material. Very nice color. Thanks for sharing your equipment, mining tips and an amazing adventure. You are just ripping it up brother.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
I havent heard of a Jarvi, ill have to check them out. No losses in the sluice set up as it is though. Gold doesn't even make it a third of the way down the sluice. Pretty much everything is caught in that little top section. Very happy with it 😁
Good morning S.D.I, I run as many buckets through as I can and only do a clean up when I'm ready to pack everything up and move on. In the creek system I'm working in this video there aren't all that many other heavies such as black sands. If I were in a different location that had a heap of heavies I may have to do a clean up earlier. But im confident I could put 1000 buckets or more over that sluice before having to clean it up. 😁
But more time also. I pick out the bigger rocks and brush them off before I discard them. But it doesn't get much more efficient than running a full bucket every 1.5 minutes 😁
I average about 40 buckets an hour mate, so at least 10 hours of just digging and processing. Not to mention everything else that goes along with it of course. About 100 buckets per day is my current cut off, pretty knackered by then lol
@@TheGoldmansChannel top effort you have sold me on building a bigger trommel Im left standing around like a twit sorting the hopper out after each shovel.... are you literally just pouring it in and walking about to the dig site ? that would have to be 5 - 6 times more efficient than what im doing - here is my toy ruclips.net/video/NF53VsYSUA0/видео.html :) you do what i do in a day in a hour.... always wished i could have a machine i could just keep loading getting tired of .5 .6 hard days :) i need to pick your brain, what diameter barrel you running and whats the sprocket collar off? motor and gearbox size .... im going to get on this right away. had your time again would you tweak it at all ?
When I would come across red pay with Grey- blue layer under it in Northern California there was never gold in the lower layer but underneath that layer was where I'd find my biggest nuggets
Thats pretty much what we have found also Richard, very little fine gold below that layer but the occasional nugget. Can only imagine how long the nuggets have been hiding down that low!
Bloody hell mate I enjoyed the show! Subbed and smashed 👍 Got an old school mate living in Kinglake if you know it? Next time I get down under I’m going to insist we have a pan somewhere,just a few flakes would do me 😂 All the best from entirely gold free North West Essex,England! P.S If you like a whiskey my mate runs the Kinglake Whiskey Distillery,I can genuinely say it’s a top end Single Malt,drank way to much of it on New Year’s Eve! 😎
Thanks Mark! Good news for you, there is certainly gold around King Lake. I also visit a friend in that area, I'd be nearly certain my friend knows your friend also, because he loves a drink 🥃 haha. Best of luck when you come back over, plenty of gold for everyone!
I would have stopped at 400, but there was still some nice looking stuff there when I wanted to finish. Would have been great to do even more, but I had to pack up and get out of there.
G'day bro I've subscribed to your channel as it's very interesting and informative in chasing the fine gold.only if I had a trommel,damn man.l👀king forward to your next upload.shane. from Bathurst way.i don't have your email address so my guess is 26
Thanks for the sub Shane! Great to have you on board man. The comp has been solved this time. But there will be many more in future, so keep and eye out for my vids for you best chance 😝
Only did one clean up Jeff. Could easily get a week's work on that sluice without spitting anything significant out. I've got plenty more layflat, but have to take into consideration where I'm going to dump all of my oversized and fine tailings as well as where the water is going to go before it runs off. Having it closer to where I was digging would reduce time and effort required to move buckets, but would cost me significant time and effort in having to clear the tailings 2-3 times per day and saves me turning my work area into a mud pit with the water also. Thanks for tuning in! I love answering questions, so never be afraid to ask 😁

@The Goldmans Channel Awe come on,your too much!
Did you only clean up once?
Or did you clean the top mat when stopping to check it? Best wishes and admire the work
Might with a little more layflat hose have put tromal close to deposit to shovel into?
Only did one clean up Jeff. Could easily get a week's work on that sluice without spitting anything significant out. I've got plenty more layflat, but have to take into consideration where I'm going to dump all of my oversized and fine tailings as well as where the water is going to go before it runs off. Having it closer to where I was digging would reduce time and effort required to move buckets, but would cost me significant time and effort in having to clear the tailings 2-3 times per day and saves me turning my work area into a mud pit with the water also. Thanks for tuning in! I love answering questions, so never be afraid to ask 😁
