Gold found under Southwest Highway Part 1
I have discovered a new style of gold mineralisation associated with the Donnybrook epithermal goldfield... In short, epithermal gold means Geysers, hydrothermal ejection breccia and hot spring-fed streams lined with hematite, colloidal silica and gold. I have found remnants of this mineralised hydrothermal sediment and plan to describe it further by undertaking a Masters in Geology at Curtin University in 2023. I am publishing this video to establish a date of first publication because government researchers are breathing down my neck...

Gold Fever Sets in at Donnybrook Gold

After getting 0.4g of gold from the ore in my last video, I could not wait to get back to the historical gold showing at Mt Cara. Recovering all the fine gold from the ore in this video took longer than editing... so the weigh in will have to be next time... after I go dig more ore... www.patreon.com/Donnybrook_Gold www.donnybrookgold.com.au DonnybrookGold

      @@lithiumvalleyrocksprospect9792 100% I’m no geologist but just learning the basics and the history of the region in Geological terms is very cool. It is complex in some areas ?? But all up the kids and I have a good time. How easy it can be to make a quick few hundred bucks is a fairly easy task. Just a bit of old fashioned work. But Gold is very very addictive for me anyways. I just can’t stop looking up finds , records on this CSRIO Website. It’s fantastic and free. But when you can find gold in your own property that says how abundant Gold can be. Especially down Donnybrook all the way to Esperance and North, East, West and South. I’m looking to step up my game to be honest. It’s mostly fine gold. But I have heaps of Quartz with Gold that can be seen with the eye and my little eye magnifying glass you can really see that gold. Very Cool mate.👍👍🇦🇺

    Gday there is GOLD ALL OVER THE SOUTH WEST. I LIVE BETWEEN Bunbury and Albany. I Evan found 7 grams on my property in a spot with multiple different rocks all compressed extremely tightly together. I collected 1 20 litre bucket but had no more than 15 kilos. A lot of what I call Donnybrook granite. However in 2 hours I had 7 grams??? I only have 2 acres but I know 100% that there is heaps more gold on my property . Margaret River has some places i have dropped pins on the finds I had. I so so so love WINTER AND BIG RAINS. ITS LIKE AFTER THE WASHOUT HAS ACCRUED MY BIGGEST FIND WAS A 22 gram piece of quarts but more like Smokey quarts. All up I’ve very patiently waiting to head back there. But over 4 years of studying this particular area. Just in Margaret River I have 78 grams of very very good quality gold. I have probably 27 sites from Donny brook to Bridgetown to Nanup. Now Nannup has a location with nice white piece of Quartz. I can’t Evan make it budge. But with a good quality magnifying glass you can see small lines of Gold running outside the quartz then it heads back into the quartz. I have no idea how deep the quartz goes into the hard ground. But I bet when I head back in a month. Hoping the rain has helped things. But it’s actually very difficult to sit 120kms north East of Where my stash is lol. But 100% no one will ever find it. Balling up is another producer of Gold. The best part is I have 128 grams of ore with very very high gold content. I love it not so much its value but the pleasure of finding gold. Also I have 100s of garnets, now people will not believe me. But not far from the Green Bushes lithium mine. I have 2 pieces of white opal. ????????? I know opal guaranteed 100%. It’s absolutely beautiful to look at the white turns to Pearl with flashes of yellow. Orange, red, green and some hints of purple. Holly F I just couldn’t believe it. It’s not worth much but what the fk is white opal doing there?

      If you are keen hit me up. I. Happy to give up a few of my secret places are of good quality perhaps you could do the same ? But you obviously don’t need to. We have had some good strong rain. I’ll be out rain , shower or hail. Also moss agate, what I suspect to be chalcopyrite ? ?.I need these possible chalcopyrite specimens looked at. I have found 7 samples. All examples are around 500grams to the largest 4 kilograms. It’s huge. Covered in reflective gold colour. I cut one in half does chalcopyrite look like it’s made of very shiny steel on the inside with many gold coloured pieces inside the chalcopyrite? And these specimens are very very heavy for the sizes of the specimens. Anyways please sir everything I’ve said is TRUE !!!!!!!,!, . All the best sir. Where I live there is a very old underground stream. It’s been there estimated 5,000 years ??? It’s been active every 3 years. Under the ground it becomes extremely soggy. Until it actually gets a tad clear. This stream runs near the top,of the hill I live on a runs underground down hill for about 15 kilometres and an an average of 500 mm under ground to 2 meters or the bed rock. Yes it has gold.

And national parks that are gazetted is just an excuse for them to come and pillage later on. I found disturbing evidence toward past rocky gully way

    First off, really enjoying your vids. Top effort with the Webber cyclone, that’s something I reckon I could make & use. Lived in Nannup for 20 years and fly fished all the creeks and rivers in the southwest for trout over that time. Always wanted to go back and try the gravels in a few of my favourite rock bars across the rivers spots, and this would be a great way to entertain the grandkids one weekend. Have you tried any other southwest rivers or creeks besides the Blackwood at Bridgetown? You could try gold gully creek at Nannup, named after the early gold strike there back in the early to late 1800’s I used to do guided trout tours and being the guide, I didn’t fish while guiding clients, so often I’d just pan a few gravels between my two cupped hands, and I’d usually find a line of colours stuck in the crack between my two cupped hands. Curious if you’ve tried any other local waterways with any success?

    That magnet picking up macrosized rocks is very interesting. I also liked the underwater video with the hydrocyclone clearly visible there. Might put a 5" sluice in the tailings path just to see if you're missing anything, I'm not sure about you noodling the bowl with your hand but idk, I never made one of these! :) That's so little gold though I'm thinking you should slice open some of those giant sapphires you're tossing and strike a cobalt/nickel mine. :)
