Because NZ is so small someone will find the guy. Outside of the cities if you find someone from a small town the next question is always "Oh you're from there, do you know my mate?" The answer is pretty much always yes.
Imagine one dude with a gold pan, a metal detector and a camera finding 1 dollar worth of gold is more entertaining than a whole crew filming guys earning millions. This stuff makes me happy man.
This is fake man. When you make a gold finding video you are meant to explain how you really need to find 7 ounces or you won't be able to afford to feed the kids and you only have one week to meet tour 20 ounce target before the "season" ends.
Yeah, just like the guys digging around on Oak Island are finding artifacts from ancient civilizations, when basically all they found was mud and water. Amazing what people will watch on TV
IMO, the best place in that part of your stream is where you have gravel and fine black sand sitting directly on top of quartz-containing bedrock. We have a similar stream on our farm and that's where I've found some decent little nuggety fellas before.
The real gold is the beautiful landscape - the noise of the stream and the sense of peace in that little valley - much more valuable than a chunk of metal!! Cheers Marty, I enjoyed the video.
Very interesting Marty, follow the greenstone with the quartz veins and crush some you might be pleasantly surprised, keep heading up stream till you lose the gold, then come back down always keeping an eye on the inside bends, when you pick it up again head out sideways to the stream. dig a few test holes you'll never know unless you have a go. Cheers
I've seen a technique for finding larger gold pieces in quartz rock. You use the detector to sense the gold, then split the rock into two piles and see which one has the gold. Keep doing this until you have small piles with any gold pieces in them. You can then finely crush that small amount of rock and pan it out.
Way to call out the kid who stabbed you!! I woke my poor son up laughing at the ending. But as one who's found a few ounces of gold over the years, buy a sluice box, you can usually find them new for a few hundred. and you've got enough water in parts to build a spot that the water funnels though and shovel right into the top. I had a spot in a creek that I built up that didnt really hurt the flow of the creek just piled some rocks to get a better angle. It got me most my gold. Good luck, and i'd watch a Marty T Gold channel for sure!
Panning for gold can be a lot of fun! I don't know if you just didn't show it or not, but I highly suggest you scan what you put in the pan with the metal detector before putting in the work to pan it. No need to pan if the gold is still in the hole :) edit... hahaha.... saw someone already made this recommendaiton
Hi Marty. Really enjoy watching your latest projects. Hope you got over that flooding ok. I do a bit of metal detecting the antisapation of finding abit of history is really exciting. Think you might b the only person I have ever seen that metaldetects themselves. The Wairarapa must be a wild place. Really interested in your off grid power source. Batteries etc. We don't have access to creek only wind and sun. Living on west cost plenty of wind. Love anything old how it must have been treasured by someone all those years ago. To bring something back to life as you do is a real gift. Marapa
You're doing it wrong. If TV has taught me anything it's that what you need is a pickaxe, a mule with a sad face, a box marked 'Acme Dynamite ' and a map with 'Motherlode' circled in red on it. It's really not difficult.
I was seriously wanting to hear Marty’s instrument all of a sudden, just goes screaming raging mad off the charts!!!! and good God Almighty he’s hit a MOTHER-LODE!!!! A vein as big around as the top of your leg, and runs a good 10 feet long!!! Talk about hearing good old, Marty hoop, and holler and dance around doing a jig!! 😅😊
At about 8:45 to 9:00 minutes in you found the types of rocks where gold is deposited - along boundaries between different rock types - one way it forms is when it is in solution under heat and pressure, deep within the earth - as the fluids travel through cracks in rocks of different chemical compositions, gold and other metals will drop out when the chemical composition changes. Fascinating! I have a lot of my grandfather's gold samples from his years as a general manager at a big gold mine here in the US. It's called native gold when it's in hand specimens and is visible to the eye.
Using a detector of that type to find gold is very optomistic, but it might work if the nugget is big enough. Be best to turn discrimination off and dig every signal. Use it mostly on shallow bedrock areas, this will give you the best chance of finding gold and easier to identify the rubbish quickly. Scrapeing out cracks in the bedrock that run across the flow of the stream is probably your best chance in that type of country, use a screwdriver with a bent tip to hook the stuff out and pan it. Use a sluice-box where you find a reasonable quantity of gravels to work. Gold seeker on and off for 50 years.
I meant to watch this some time ago... It was worth the wait and though it might not have been the pot at the end of the rainbow, it was still a great excu... er... "reason" to go play in the creek, right? :)))) I'd be up there doing the same thing if I had such a place. These are the reasons I never lose my sense of curiosity when I'm out exploring nature with the camera gear. Funny how those old injuries come back to remind you in the later years, eh? Thanks for sharing this (now back to boat restoration lol). :)
Marty, get in touch with Chris @ Chrispys Kiwi Adventures. A m8 of mine and Clay. He will find your Gold m8... There is gold in most places in NZ. None in our stream but there is about 3 miles away. Great video m8....
good stuff Marty.. that may not look like much gold mate but ill tell you a story. Once i had a gig digging high grade gold ore near Clermont in Central Queensland and after 2 days with the 40ton digger i finally bailed up the Geologist and asked him to show me some of this bloody gold that is important enough to have all the big wigs lined up watching every bucketful go out. He said sure, reached down and grabbed a bit of old rock, hit it with his hammer and looked through his loupe for a bit then handed it to me and said, there ya go mate. Well i was blown away that all my stress and effort was for a tiny gold spec in a rock that needed magnification to see it. He said it doesn't look like much but this ground is testing at 25grams/ton..so you just never know mate.
Toward the conclusion as you were scanning your side and getting a response I thought for sure you were going to say that it was all because you had a heart of gold. Beats the remnants of a pencil lead 🙂
One day ole Marty is out looking for some gold, graders, diggers and the like. Then up from the burbling stream Marty dips his pan and finds gold, AU that is. Next thing you know ole Marty’s a billionaire, kin folk say, “Move away from there.” So he hooked up his Cat to his ole David Brown 30 and moved to Beverly, Hills that is, fancy cars and movie stars. His kids grow up to be insufferable barts and his wife is on reality TV and in California there’s no free electricity, in fact some days there’s no electricity at all. So heed this advice from your old friend Jack, throw the devil’s metal back in the stream and hug your beautiful wife and kids then have cold beer from your free power fridge.
You are better off targeting cracks and crevices in the bedrock, preferably going across the stream, and scratching out the compact gravels to pan off. At 7:19 in the video is a good example, but you walked straight over it. Sorry to have to tell you but unless there are any nuggets in the area, that detector won't help you considering the gold you did find is very fine. Keep going with the pan until you find where the gold is really accumulated and then consider a small sluice.
Brilliant Drone Fly Over - Wonderful Area indeed ! Yes - You found some Gold - well done You ! Beautiful Little Creek ! Thanks for taking us along ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
"Kyle Thiemann" is one stream prospector you might check out. Missouri is not noted for any huge gold strikes, but he has recovered a moderate amount (enough to hold his interest) from streams in the Ozarks. They say you can find it anywhere the glaciers have been, if that is true then it should be in my area also ... I digress ... taking a look at Kyle's techniques, and clues where to look might help you determine if your stream is a hobby pursuit, or something worth more effort. Designing/building a mini processor would make an interesting series of videos.
Careful digging under those creek banks Marty... My dad was panning for gold and got trapped under a landslide and it took 3 men operating a 8-foot sausage roll to prize him free.
Funny you should do this video. When you were filming the flood videos I was thinking it'll probably upturn some gold. Just like one of the earlier comments mentioned, here in Australia the most valuable thing on the Gold fields during the Gold rush was water. In the early days you could go into a saloon and the bar man would probably give you a cup and a bottle of whiskey.. but if you asked for a water he would carefully measure out a cup and hand it to you.
I bet there was that one guy who took all of the bottles and when somewhere and filled them with water. I am sure he was flush with water. Whiskey came by wagon and so did water!
Absolutely love your channel Marty again never know what we're going to see you work on her to be doing. Thank you and truly appreciate all the hard work you put in your videos for us.
Great video, Marty. I guess if you panned for hours and found a dollar's worth of gold, it's recreation. If you panned for an hour and found a few hundred dollars' worth (or more), it would be work. Both fun in their own way.
Darn ,came here trying to find out what you got stabbed with....dont know the guy but im guessing it was a compass? Those shitty little pencil one end pointy bit on the other to draw circles with...every kiwi kid seem to have back then as a must have on their school stationary list...that never got used to draw circles... ever.
I'm an artist, so I use one, and still have one of those old ones. Can't say I ever stabbed anyone with it, but I do remember kids who did get stabbed back then. I left school in 85.
I can hardly wait for the next video from Marty T as he takes is his new Hough loader up to the stream and digs up huge scoops of dirt and runs them through something or other to look for gold.
I might advise you remember that gold has had hundreds if not thousands of years to work its way down into the tiniest, tightest of crevasses. A fair amount of commitment to get down to the VERY BOTTOM is required. Otherwise you may be stopping just before the good stuff. Speak with Pioneer Paulie. He loves helping and collabs. Real nice guy.
Found a Matthew Wyatt living in Wellington, left him a message to see the end of this clip, also left him the URL. Sorry if the wrong person otherwise, you're welcome Marty, another great vid mate
G'day mate, I'm an Aussie prospector, my family came out for the Victorian gold rush from Ireland in the 1850's before some headed over to Greymouth etc. There's gold to be had where you are for sure. Get stuck in mate, it's a lot of fun and a good time to have with family & friends, a big kids treasure hunt so to speak. AUS & NZ diggers are a central part of our shared history.
It is fun to find a bit of gold! I hope that one day you'll find enough to have a really good payout so that you can bless your family with it! Good luck, Mate!
MARTY,if the big culvert' s on your road have ridge's in them look there you may find it in those or where the water dumps out ...GOOD LUCK been Enjoying Your Vid's for a number of years now ,Thanks ! Missouri Paul 👍🇺🇸👍👌😎👌🤗🌞
When I read the thumbnail i've got to be honest, I expected the stream to be giving up carburettors, fuel pumps n piston oil , not actual gold ..lolz. Well done mate can't think of a more deserving bloke !! Eureka..
If you’ve got quartz and black sand you’ve got gold, you need to set up a sluice but seriously it’s a lot of very hard labour you may get an ounce in 2 to 4 days if your lucky working 8 hour days, this is why so many people gear up and give up just as quickly as they started.
There's gold in them hills, Probably not rich enough for the old timers to stay and mine. Looked like great fun hope you do another video on finding your fortune and making a super sluice.
I know im months late and im sure its been said, bit you should wrap the wire around the detector tighter so it doesnt wave over the coil and cause falsing. Happy hunting!
You'll have better luck if you swing that detector more. It will only detect when it's passing over something. Not sure if you have a pin pointer but those things are very handy and very cheap. I wouldn't be metal detecting if it wasn't for having one honestly
Well that was a surprise. I didn't think you would produce a big chunk of gold, but you did find something, not worth a fortune I agree, but as I watched I said "well I hope it brings you good fortune" , it was certainly different from your usual interesting vehicle restorations. Then as a tailpiece you reveal the trauma from years back....😱
Would it be an idea once you have a hit, to grab handfuls of gravel and sprinkle them over the head of the detector, discarding them until you’ve narrowed down the handful that sets off the beep again?
All good Marty , you do realise half of NZ is keeping a eye out for Matt, even his mums wants to get out the slipper and give him a bloody good hiding ! Revenge is sweet!
There is a little stream and a river near me 5 to 10 mins in the car I am in Switzerland. I found gold in both panning and sluicing. Panning and sluicing is the best due to all the old scrap that ends up in the rivers. The gold here is very small a detector would not pick it up here. A mate who got me into panning said there was no chance of finding it in the stream near me I got about 3 grams from that stream. Now it did take me 2 years to get that from there going down for a few hours on a weekend great fun though. You want to be looking at the inside bends of the river the inside thats where the water slows and the gold drops out and concentrates or behind and under big rocks. You might be better further down stream where it might widen out and starts to meander. Now a man like you could easy make a little crusher for that quartz you might find there is more in it than you think if pulverized. Yes I have got the fever... Have a pan in my car if I see a stream and place I can stop and get too and I have time I go and test it. Be careful the fever is real lol.
I remember as a kid panning for gold in those rivers out the back of Arrowtown back in the 1960’s and finding plenty of tiny flakes . Its quite relaxing and for kids pretty exciting - cool detector BTW 😀
upon further reflection I realise that I was subconsciously thinking of my own childhood when my friend Alan and I would don our wellies and go plodging in the nearby stream. the name of the game was to see how deep we could go without the water getting to the top of our wellies and going over wetting our socks. we always got wet socks
You have a nice area to pan. You at least seem to enjoy the search. Glad you shared this video. Hopefully you will do another one. Looking forward to your next one.
The Gold Museum in Balleratt is worth a visit. One of the things you can learn is that a Chinese guy made an absolute fortune by buying up all the spoil heaps that the mines had created. He then used a chemical process using cyanide to extract commercial quantities of gold from the spoil. All the hard (and thus expensive) work of digging, moving, crushing etc. had already been done for him. Just be careful of the ecological disaster that it left behind.
At last! A use for that violent ram. D'you remember Jason & the Argonauts? The golden fleece? Well, the golden fleece wasn't just a myth. Fleeces were used in sluices to catch the heavier flakes of gold. Whereas nowadays people use gratings and/or carpet in ancient times fleeces were used and they'd be dried & burnt. Then the ash would be placed in a crucible. Google "cupellation". If you get the right crucible, put the ashes from the burnt fleece in it & then put it into a kiln. (You can make one out of rockwool insulation fired with butane). The crucible separates the gold from any impurities leaving a pure gold button in the bottom of the crucible. The channel "Cody's Lab" shows cupellation often. It's a very simple but exceedingly effective way of purifying your gold. Also known as a fire assay. But it'd be a splendid use for an obstreperous ram's fleece! You could leave it in a fast flowing part of your stream for a year or more, during all those winter storms, and then drying & fire assaying the fleece!
I grew up in masterton and a quick fb search shows a Matt Wyeth with whom I share several mutual masterton friends. Seems about the right age, could be your guy 😂
Look in the mirror,and you'll find gold there! Wait, I'm not totally convinced you haven't found a significant flake....That was a one scoop and flakes.
The people who make money out of gold rushes are the ones selling and hiring equipment and supplies. How much did your kids charge for the use of their trowel? Bet they made more than you.
Extra też wykrywaczem szukasz, ja to przez jakiś czas z magnesem neodymowym po rzekach łowiłem i po 3 latach stwierdzam że czas na inny sprzęt czyli jakąś ramę glebokosciowa
Well that settles it now you officially do everything I do no wonder why I love watching your channel Marty wish you were closer I’d love to work on this stuff with you Keep up the good videos and good luck all the way from California
Hey man just wanted to say you gotta keep your coil to the soil and swing back and forth covering all the area with overlapping swings make a grid and detect everywhere and the metal detector goes off you dig until you find your target and then you will know what your detector found it definitely isn't going off because of the tiny flakes there is other things setting it off you will do alot better and probably have better results of finding things
That ending 🤣 you're a funny bastard Marty love the vids.
^this 🤣
Right! Ended it on a chuckle.

Don't forget the kids play trowel
You are a rich man Marty not with gold, but with a nice family and a wife that understands that just one more tractor is always necessary.
Best comment in the thread!
In the next episode, Marty re-engineer’s his Hydroelectric washing machine power plant to include a functional mini wash plant. 🤙✊️
We were all thinking just that! 🤣
I had thought the same thing 👍💯😀
I really wouldnt be surprised . Marty is the original DOC BROWN . . JUST A THOUGHT . . TOP MAN .
Way to go Marty oon calling him out after all these years. Great channel BTW.

Awesome, you have your own gold claim! Might be worth making a Marty T special sluice box just for fun. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Marty’s probably already getting an old sluice buried in a hedge up and going
Are gold claims even a thing on private property?

Pro tip: You can always check your pan with your detector to see if you scooped up whatever it was that got it beeping in the first place.
Yes, no since wasting time reducing a pan full of nothing when a detector is available.
I wanted to see that also. wondered if those specs would even be detected.
My thoughts exactly.
Not if the pan is made of metal.
@@physicsguybrian To solve this potential problem, you could take a plastic bucket with you.

Ahaha the end, throwing names xD
MARTY,if the big culvert' s on your road have ridge's in them look there you may find it in those or where the water dumps out ...GOOD LUCK been Enjoying Your Vid's for a number of years now ,Thanks ! Missouri Paul 👍🇺🇸👍👌😎👌🤗🌞
When I read the thumbnail i've got to be honest, I expected the stream to be giving up carburettors, fuel pumps n piston oil , not actual gold ..lolz.
Well done mate can't think of a more deserving bloke !! Eureka..
Jezz Matt, you nearly ROBBED us of a national treasure!!!!!!
If you’ve got quartz and black sand you’ve got gold, you need to set up a sluice but seriously it’s a lot of very hard labour you may get an ounce in 2 to 4 days if your lucky working 8 hour days, this is why so many people gear up and give up just as quickly as they started.
a strong magnet can be handy to help separate the black sand from the gold since it can be pretty stubborn once thats all thats left
Good tip, I was having a hard time separating the black sand from gold
@@24maple black sand has high iron content, so the magnet would remove that and leave behind the gold
Interesting hobby Marty, and with the recent flooding, a huge gold nugget will show up somewhere in that stream.
Cheers from Texas
There's gold in them hills, Probably not rich enough for the old timers to stay and mine. Looked like great fun hope you do another video on finding your fortune and making a super sluice.
If you keep at it, you might scoop up a gold nugget size of your knuckle, just enough to buy another digger to scoop for more gold.
I know im months late and im sure its been said, bit you should wrap the wire around the detector tighter so it doesnt wave over the coil and cause falsing. Happy hunting!
You'll have better luck if you swing that detector more. It will only detect when it's passing over something. Not sure if you have a pin pointer but those things are very handy and very cheap. I wouldn't be metal detecting if it wasn't for having one honestly
That ending was awesome. Hope a viewer knows him.
Next time check the pan with the metal detector before panning - if you don't get a response - discard and start again
Definitely want to gravitate towards the quartz veins. That's where the big gold is
Absolutely beautiful stream. You're insanely lucky to own it. I'd love to have something even half as beautiful in my back yard.
yes the real treasure is his creek
I think that was possibly the best ending to a video ever 🤣
Now you're going to have to find an old screener and get it running for the next phase if gold mining😁👍
Well that was a surprise. I didn't think you would produce a big chunk of gold, but you did find something, not worth a fortune I agree, but as I watched I said "well I hope it brings you good fortune" , it was certainly different from your usual interesting vehicle restorations. Then as a tailpiece you reveal the trauma from years back....😱
Your having a better day than I am.....all I found was blood in my stool. LOL🤣
Would it be an idea once you have a hit, to grab handfuls of gravel and sprinkle them over the head of the detector, discarding them until you’ve narrowed down the handful that sets off the beep again?
Get the mineral rights to your land, you only own the top 6 inches.
that's nice, unfortunately it's too far away to go looking for those mountains with GOLD, greetings from a cold Netherlands Hans.
Wanted dead or alive. Matthew W
Crickey - take it easy mate! Could end up with 100,000 folks on your paradise with your man Wyeth leading the mob ..👀👀😜😜
All good Marty , you do realise half of NZ is keeping a eye out for Matt, even his mums wants to get out the slipper and give him a bloody good hiding ! Revenge is sweet!
There is a little stream and a river near me 5 to 10 mins in the car I am in Switzerland. I found gold in both panning and sluicing. Panning and sluicing is the best due to all the old scrap that ends up in the rivers. The gold here is very small a detector would not pick it up here. A mate who got me into panning said there was no chance of finding it in the stream near me I got about 3 grams from that stream.
Now it did take me 2 years to get that from there going down for a few hours on a weekend great fun though.
You want to be looking at the inside bends of the river the inside thats where the water slows and the gold drops out and concentrates or behind and under big rocks. You might be better further down stream where it might widen out and starts to meander.
Now a man like you could easy make a little crusher for that quartz you might find there is more in it than you think if pulverized.
Yes I have got the fever... Have a pan in my car if I see a stream and place I can stop and get too and I have time I go and test it.
Be careful the fever is real lol.
That video ending was a wild ride. Thank you for posting your videos!
I remember as a kid panning for gold in those rivers out the back of Arrowtown back in the 1960’s and finding plenty of tiny flakes . Its quite relaxing and for kids pretty exciting - cool detector BTW 😀
A bloke called Wal makes his own version of a high banker nicknamed the 'Wal Banker'. Easy to make and would be good to put more dirt thru.
Starts his video about gold panning, ends it by telling us he got stabbed.
Hilarious.
Great video bro
Yeah l didn't see that coming haha
Hi Marty, your content is always interesting, educational and quite often fun. Thanks!
Awesome Marty! I always look foward to your videos
upon further reflection I realise that I was subconsciously thinking of my own childhood when my friend Alan and I would don our wellies and go plodging in the nearby stream. the name of the game was to see how deep we could go without the water getting to the top of our wellies and going over wetting our socks. we always got wet socks
Calling on Mathew Wyatt, Spill the beans, we all need to know :)
You have a nice area to pan. You at least seem to enjoy the search. Glad you shared this video. Hopefully you will do another one. Looking forward to your next one.
An Aunt of mine lives in Balleratt in Aus. She too said 'After rain' was a good time to find gold in the creeks. Natural sluicing.
The Gold Museum in Balleratt is worth a visit. One of the things you can learn is that a Chinese guy made an absolute fortune by buying up all the spoil heaps that the mines had created. He then used a chemical process using cyanide to extract commercial quantities of gold from the spoil. All the hard (and thus expensive) work of digging, moving, crushing etc. had already been done for him. Just be careful of the ecological disaster that it left behind.
It would be much quicker if you ran the detector over your pan and the spot each time you identified a spot.
Buy a Pinpointer Handheld Metal Detector.
Not as interesting though.
@@Sparkey Exactly. That’s what a use.
@@willtricks9432 serious?
@@eco_logic never serious. I do like the mountains.
Try a pinpointer . Works great for very small targets. Garrett makes a good waterproof model.
Hey Marty take a look at tassie boys prospecting, he'll give you some ideas for squeezing gold out of those rocks. Love your videos over here in tas.
Now thats an ending, and bit of yarn!!!
The water is worth more than any amount of gold
Well you can have fun panning just to let lose something heavy just bugging the crap out of you, hahaha.
At last! A use for that violent ram.
D'you remember Jason & the Argonauts? The golden fleece? Well, the golden fleece wasn't just a myth. Fleeces were used in sluices to catch the heavier flakes of gold. Whereas nowadays people use gratings and/or carpet in ancient times fleeces were used and they'd be dried & burnt. Then the ash would be placed in a crucible. Google "cupellation". If you get the right crucible, put the ashes from the burnt fleece in it & then put it into a kiln. (You can make one out of rockwool insulation fired with butane).
The crucible separates the gold from any impurities leaving a pure gold button in the bottom of the crucible.
The channel "Cody's Lab" shows cupellation often. It's a very simple but exceedingly effective way of purifying your gold. Also known as a fire assay.
But it'd be a splendid use for an obstreperous ram's fleece! You could leave it in a fast flowing part of your stream for a year or more, during all those winter storms, and then drying & fire assaying the fleece!
I grew up in masterton and a quick fb search shows a Matt Wyeth with whom I share several mutual masterton friends. Seems about the right age, could be your guy 😂
Haha That'll be him, I grew up in Masterton
Look in the mirror,and you'll find gold there!
Wait, I'm not totally convinced you haven't found a significant flake....That was a one scoop and flakes.
The people who make money out of gold rushes are the ones selling and hiring equipment and supplies. How much did your kids charge for the use of their trowel? Bet they made more than you.
Extra też wykrywaczem szukasz, ja to przez jakiś czas z magnesem neodymowym po rzekach łowiłem i po 3 latach stwierdzam że czas na inny sprzęt czyli jakąś ramę glebokosciowa
Perhaps the gold would be the money you make from people watching this video!
Next episode: Marty T makes his own dynamite and levels half his property in search for gold
Well that settles it now you officially do everything I do no wonder why I love watching your channel Marty wish you were closer I’d love to work on this stuff with you Keep up the good videos and good luck all the way from California
Hey man just wanted to say you gotta keep your coil to the soil and swing back and forth covering all the area with overlapping swings make a grid and detect everywhere and the metal detector goes off you dig until you find your target and then you will know what your detector found it definitely isn't going off because of the tiny flakes there is other things setting it off you will do alot better and probably have better results of finding things
That ending is absolute brutally savage.
