15:14 i got the one size down from this. Ran some black springs dirt into it, the indicator riffles picked up alot of gold but i couodnt recover it in the pan. My panning is still a work in progress 😅

Heading to Hill end, Mary Flyn reserve in 2 weeks time, any gold down there?

Thankyou, your panning and classifying techniques are very helpful, could I ask what is the rough value of the stones you found?

I'll be giving this area a try on the weekend. Curious whether anything can be found further downstream where it cuts through more state forest.

The little balls are lead, they are from people shooting. Aka buck shot, from shotgun

Hi Jason I've just watched this other video up near the Inverell area. ua-cam.com/video/vUK2n0pNAzU/v-deo.htmlsi=rEEFNj2H3OxMgMpf Might be worth a look

Another great video! Such a beautiful site, was that a whip bird? The star of the show is obviously your cat! What a stunner!

Not too bad....maybe those little balls are from blasting?? stemming the holes for better shots

Nice size pieces. Thanks

A good demonstration, Jason, on the aquaphobic gold and aquaphilic molecules of dihydrous oxide! Just add masses of granitic mica flakes! As kids swimming in the quickly nitrogenated lake next to the large Cardinia Reservoir, Aura Vale Lake, the granite sands at the bottom of the water would show a mesmerising snow-dome effect of gold glitter, except it grinds down so easily with fingernails to the finest Cindi Lauper eye shadow powder, Ziggy Stardust would be jealous for some. I should investigate, for surely there's gold in cosmetics?! Anyhoo, Mitchell River seems well worth prospecting, bring an environmental good to proceedings and clear a patch of blackberry, the fresh tips are great for making tea, worth drying and using ground, different uses I'd imagine in food and other uses, including medicines and cosmetics. Hopefully you'll choose the bit with drop-off crevices and channels that no one else had touched since the blackberries first arrived! Blackberries are an enjoyable surprise sometimes when out wandering where spraying is not likely, although excess consumption is said to have a laxative effect, though rarely take home enough for any recipe for this prolonged excess consumption, but is wicked good with apples, fresh or baked. On bush tuckering, how's your NSW native rubus fruits situation? Anything beyond what we have down South, the white or pink-flowering native raspberries? Lemon, cinnamon, chocolate myrtles? There's a large, old cinnamon myrtle outside your state's parliament building, fyi! Cheers, good gem and gold luck, and may your trails be happy, and free of bounders, human and marsupial! G.

Scary-lots of feral animals with no fear of humans

I was out there four weeks ago, got pretty comparable results. After finding my spot, setting up the sluice etc, I ran ~70L of classified material and wound up with 0.30g in roughly six hours. The joints in both my index fingers have been swollen ever since from breaking up that nasty clay lol, that took up more time than anything else. Cheers for the vid :)

I remember when I first started prospecting and I ran into that floating gold thing. It didn't make any sense, but there it was 😂✌️😎

I’ve been to that exact location before and all along it! Didn’t get too much!

Awesome video Jason, Ive been to Vulcan a few times recently and I definitely agree the ground conditions in the public area are pretty tough.

I will one day get over that way sometime. Great Video Jason.

Hi Jason, glad we ran into you on Saturday thanks for the tips. We found quite a few small sapphire and a little bit of gold. The black Berry is horrible there.

Love your videos. I've just started and have checked out around saph bend a few times. It's bloody hard work digging that ground then hauling the dirt to wash it, I reckon I'll give this river a shot when I'm next out there. Cheers

Thanks Jason - Im a keen gold prospector but have severe arthritis so an area close to home is very valuable- do you think this is the best bet for gold close to sydney? Love your videos- keep them coming pls

Good instructive video. Thank you for not imposing annoying music on us! So interesting to see what these areas offer fossicking,.when a long trip from home is necessary. Really worthwhile.

You do require a permit to fossick in a NSW State Forest. Its $27.50 for the year and covers up to 5 people

👈🏻Hi garimpohobby Brazil 💥

Really enjoyed your presentation..thank you

I did see that tap up, I just thought it might be a good talking point

Awesome I was there today

nice group of floater gold on that first snuff, maybe point it out to your watchers who may not know that fine gold floats 🧐✌️😎

A very good instructional outing, Jason. It's cool you have these historical gem diggings that are maintained with continuing public access, in NSW, and as far as I can tell in Qld too. It's sad to say it isn't a feature here in Victoria, although there's histories of our state producing volumes of varieties of precious and semi-precious gems, from amethyst to tiger-eye, but doesn't gain the historic legacies of towns and fields, but retain place names, like Emerald, Gembrook, and Stony Creek, which are near us. Further away, tinier towns and locales stay alive with remnants of their gold and other resources origins, if you didn't see the latest episode of "Back Roads" on Old Aunty, ABC-TV, about Beechworth, it's a rip-snorter for historical relics and the gold rush, and a terrifically refreshing and honest appraisal of the hostility toward the Chinese, with the delightful Annie Louey. An astonishing watch, and think you'll get a lot out of watching it. Recently, the Miner's Den Show had a history snippet about Lambing Flat, today's Young, which accords with experiences here and in NSW on this subject, but the "Back Roads" does the full circle and the current situation looks reconciled, for want of a better summary. It's taken to noting in the episode, and the Miner's Den series, who'd noted the Chinese were referred to as "Celestials" from the Empire Of The Sun, but the cemetery at Beechworth, the symbols on the footstones (not headstones, the memorial is at the feet of the deceased, fun fact) and funerary pyres show red discs, symbolic of the sun. Maybe you'll see these indicators on your trails, these historical elements are also golden finds and glittering gems to discover. Just to think dim sims were a central Victorian goldfields innovation that moved to manufacture in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, I'd go with home-made dim sims on any goldfields, any country town, servo in the middle of nowhere, one cannot fossick on an empty stomach! Happy trails, a content and full belly, and good luck for lucky fossicking and prospecting. Cheers, Gabi of Narre Warren, Felix Australia.

Awsome vid buddy great stones

Lovely watching all those colours on the light box, beautiful stuff

Also, pull the tube half way out of your snuffer, you can squeeze out the water as it fills, and you will not lose the gold. Only an issue having the tube so far down.👍

Hey Jason, I know it's nice to find gems, but not really worth keeping the small stuff you find in your pan in the fines. I find under 4mm not worth keeping, just fo for the gold. Great vid mate.👍

Cheers for the vid Jason. I have a set of gem sieves but haven't used them yet, might have to head out that way and try them out.

Very informative and easy to follow, thanks

Great video for anyone wanting to learn, nice mate.

the locals drop those round "pellets" everywhere to put out of towners off he gold trail that are using detectors

When there is not enough water flow, I abandon the river sluice and use my Mini Gold Concentrator in a tub of water to stop water loss. It will concentrate a days worth of dug raw material (as you put it) to one gold pan worth of concentrates.

nice job mate

Thanks Jason -great video. Ive never had much luck at Hill End

An enjoyable view, Jason, I very much liked the intro sequence, such a nice looking town, I suppose like many, in need of economic bases for continuity, and attracting more people to pop by with the lure of adventure and gold, art and heritage, Hill End deserves better than that "loser" mine, free of diamonds, and zero gold! Extract useful rocks for sustenance, or susso, as it was called. There was an era, it may be the same as Hill End's times of hardship, a Caroline Chisholm, she of the five dollar note, set up "shelter sheds" for the destitute and starving, in instances where the gold ran out, water ran out, sometimes both, in the several severe droughts and bushfires, along several routes where the gold rushes concentrated fossickers, worth looking into, for gold and relics fossicking locations, clues to lost or overlooked places. We were triggered as we had at our primary school one side of our canteen building the "shelter shed", the other end exactly the same design but called "the annexe", basically tin roofed weatherboard barns, with large cyclone wired door openings, seating around the inside, exposed stud walls. The same design as Caroline Chisholm's it turns out. The gift of the large sieve is a great thing, kudos for the friend, @Lisselle. to have kept her dad's old sieve, and it does look heritage, it could be quite old, whether it's made from two segments of what looks to me like Hoop pine, and a mesh with cross-wire reinforcement, it hasn't rusted, so maybe brass? If I'm barking up the right type of tree, it could be a Queensland product, specifically Manumbar, "Monarch" plywood products, I read that on the back of a bevelled mirror, in the hope it had gold sovereigns glued in, in case the Depression got any worse, no coins, but a clue to history. I looked up the business to get the broader picture of different industries served by quality products, quickly and cheaply made, locally. My supposition. Full circle thinking about the bigger picture, we painterly prospecting interlopers! Am I wrong in guessing your refined technique for concentrating gemstones, in the middle of a sieve, with this heritage extra large one, would also leave any small nuggets, buckshot, gems, failed aluminium pop rivet heads, platiniridium meteorites, in a tight centre, once flipped? Yours sincerely... Oh, not yet! Oh, mercy! Your location looks like it was heavily worked with gigantic water hoses called monitors, picture guiding a giant metal goanna on a pivoting stand, spewing high pressure water at the walls of the creek, and the alien landscape is the result. Your fair prospecting result shows there's still gold, flaked and flour, still being shed, caught in the clays, and being ground to those fine specks, among the gravels, along what has to be a fair stretch of ore-bearing countryside. In conclusion, happy and picaresque trails, be they bridle paths, through to the broad vulcanised tar macadams, sounds delicious, don't it?! Bridal paths you'll find at outdoor weddings places, they ought serve gourmet faux vulcanised tar macadams as hors d'oeuvres, which we like to pronounce as "whore's doovers". People lose all sorts of things at outdoor weddings, jewellery, money, inhibitions. Worth having a swing, afterwards, with detectors, at such places, if they're on Crown land. Good luck on your adventures!

Well done Jason, looks like a fun day out, gold is a bonus.

Awesome! I'm glad to see the sieve in action; I had no idea how it was used. My Dad would be happy, he loved gold panning. What a beautiful place Hill End is.

Hi Jason, we are currently at this location. We are newbies at this !! Should you be able to see through all Sapphire pieces ? Not sure if we have black spinel or Sapphire, Cheers

That was a good result for the two buckets. A sluice would reduce the time taken.

Chunky gold Jason Well done . Saw a video on guys in Indonesia using a sluice without running water and they just used a bucket to put water into sluice . Seemed to work alright.

Great video mate, i was at Oallen ford today having a crack with family and a swim 🍻👍

Awesome vid

Cheers for the vid Jason. You certainly get around :)

Throwing away gold using that classifier
