From Mining to Prospecting and back to Mining in Quick time
A montage of gold finds and activities as we transition into the final weeks of mining for Scratchys season. As the gold thins out in one spot our prospecting on a new area quickly starts to pay and the tingly feeling of big gold starts to brew....

The big chunks and solid tally days continue to roll. How long can the good times last? Half Oz days seem a bit lame with gold days like these...
Half Oz and 1 Oz scraps left by the old Timers- a huge day on the Gold!
Переглядів 10 тис.7 місяців тому
The anticipation on finding some good gold in a new area is confirmed with a big daily haul, including multiple large nuggets. The old timers had worked the area and "new" old timers from 20 or 30 years ago also worked the area; but they had still left some good gold for us. The tally rises fast on days like this one.
New Dig = New Gold (amongst Feathered and Furry Friends)

Our first two days on a new spot gets us onto steady pickings of gold. We are joined by the resident birds as they capitalise on the the smorgasbord of food turned over by the excavator. We find a hefty tarantula spider; the heaviest spider I had seen in Australia to that point (we find a bigger one another day!)
Gold Target after Gold target- One of those rare days of continuous prospecting delights

We decided to take a break from mining with the excavator and go on a wild hunt. I resolved to video the day and film all my targets. It was a lucky day to film as I managed to score a healthy tally. This video will suit avid or learning prospectors who like to see and hear the targets so they can pick up on tips that may help their own prospecting.

Exploring with an excavator - Our first 1 ounce Gold nugget
Переглядів 3,1 тис.11 місяців тому
Once we have worked the ground on a cut a period of prospecting for new gold bearing ground can ensue. If you are lucky, the prospecting will be immediately successful; but sometimes finding new gold could take days or weeks. On this day we found a small but productive area which paid up some good gold straight away....including our biggest for the season so far.

We have all heard of gold "honey holes" and its true, they do exist! We pick and chose what to film on a given day and this signal sounded amazing on top but we couldnt have guessed that it would pay up 20 nuggets and take an hour to clean out. We decided to just keep filming! This uncut footage wont be everyones cup of tea in a time poor world; but if you would like to see a honey hole clean o...

Digging for Clermont Gold with an Excavator... our first day

After talking about it for a while, we had the opportunity to dig for Gold with an excavator. "Dig and Detect" can be very lucrative if you are in the right place and our foray proves to be just so. This is the first day of a number of awesome weeks where we pull dozens of ounces out of the ground...

Its great to be out in the bush with prospecting mates. Scratchy and Moo (Damo and Matt) go good on the hunt together. See the difference in the daily result between the 6000 and 7000. Swearing and adult themes possible on these episodes- be warned.
The Nugget Finder coil finding faint Gold nuggets
Переглядів 698Рік тому
A short video of a nugget I almost walked over. There is plenty of chatter in certain ground conditions and Clermont is no different. You learn to discern the target signals, but there are still plenty of deeper targets that can be misinterpreted as a hot rock or ground noise. The 12 inch nugget finder coil is already starting to prove itself early in the trip. This little bit didnt get away!!

So where do we go if we go to Clermont?
There is still plenty of gold being pulled off the GPA's. You have to work for it but its still possible to come out nicely with 1-3 grams on average per day. The new Brigalow GPA seems popular....
Fantastic
Yep I've been there too, scares the hell out of you !! Hahah
when are you going next?
Maybe in a couple of weeks!
Noice mate…..got to love a cliff hanger and Moo’s fat fingers in the vid again 😂
wow good looking dirt there
@@pkgoldopalhunting it's great paydirt and some good chunks to come next episode
It looks great ground there guys
@@MeteorMacX yes it's good ground. Lots of gold over a large area...
Your waiting your time mate .go home.
Great work love the gold and the language keep it rolling in. Good luck.
What a good day. Onya fellas
Awesome…. Good to see someone finding it 👌
Great project, look forward to up dates.
Well done fellas 👍
Thank you. Appreciated.
great work man good gold
Cheers mate
Thats my kind of detecting. Well done blokes 🍺 I know of at least 3 paddocks down here that have bulk nuggets at 1-2mtrs deep. Shame our laws suck about mining leases here.
Yeah there are a lot of places where a 1 metre scrape would give a great pay day. Annoying knowing it's there and you can't get at it!
@@offgridearth567 haha helps me sleep on those restless nights mate. I reckon i could still sink 2 mtr holes by myself.
Too much concrete
"ONYA CHAMP"congradulations on your find mate,well done & keep up the good work 👏
Cleaning up
ONYA CHAMP CHOICE AS FING MAN.WELL DONE TO YOU & CONGRATULATIONS BRO
Liked and subscribed after starting my morning with coffee and your video. Outstanding!
Thank you 🙏
nice work mate get into it
No way man. Survival requires fresh running water. Without it all things die. To me this place is a horror.
Great to have big Bucks for machine's
Nice work, terrible music. Had to mute it
Well Done matey.!!
7:40....For f.... sake...the excavator is right in front of you....!!!
😂 doesn't work like that when you find targets after an excavator scrape. It's all hand digging until you can't hear any more and then another 200mm comes off...
@@offgridearth567 I've done that for 23 years.... You losen up the area with the bucket teeth.....
Yeah we like it nice and smooth. No loose gravel at all. If I leave gravel, moo cow will get up me. Too many pockets with multiple subgrammers and it's easy to lose them. We use a battery powered DeWalt for hard stuff now. I like the exercise anyway, sitting on the excavator too much makes me unfit.
@@offgridearth567 You obviously dont use your excavator to all its potential....... But looks like that you are a mister knowitall.... You must be from Qld... Bye...
First time subscriber. Nice nugget
That is crazy
That's insane. Great effort 👍
What size excavator is it
That traxcavater probably shows that you were tresspassing on the owners claim
What a stupid assumption.
Dig some costeans
I can tell he has never used a pick looking for Gold !! please dont damage it , Cheers.
Poor guy is chasing a mole wearing a golden prince Albert
Cool stuff fellas 👍
Cheers 👍
You have an eliptical coil The easiet to pinpoint And you still bullshit around for the camera Plus stop buying those shit 5mm mild steel picks They are shit they dont last anytime and you pay too much for them
Good gold fellas 👌..
Bloody unbelievable there boys. Your killing it, if only the old boys could see what they left behind.
They got the best of it for sure. The nuggets were much bigger in those days and it was copious. They also worked very hard in very hard conditions. Imagine having a digger back then!
Where are you guys prospecting and your on a lease right.
Mate great vid and what a total!! Nice idea with the camera pole keeps Moos fat dildo nugget fingers out of the frame 😂😂 Moo has that 6000 humming and you guys don't need it running hot, shows how hyperactive they are some of those smaller target were almost sounding the same as the 15g nugs.
Awesome bits for sure. What are those boot accessories you're wearing to keep dirt and rocks out of your boots? I need those... ✌️😎
They are compulsory! If I forget to put them on I pay for it everytime. The are a light canvas sock saver and keep all the grass seed off and rocks flicking into boots. I go all day without shit sticking into me..
Are you on the 1870 lease?
Yes this is 1870
Go tell Dan to do some work. lol
Little swollen object made bigger by the camera lol
😂
is there an update on this video? like a recent video once finished? thanks
Finding it a bit tricky to get back to WA to do a follow up. The house is finished and producing food and will be ripe for an update by the time we get back. I cant confirm when exactly, but it is on the agenda.
Wonder how it’s looks now
I have two brothers at my school that were struck by lightning last year. The oldest has the most issues🙏🏽🙏🏽
I hope moo cow wasn’t out there 😂😂
He would be a tasty rib-eye if he was!
Great video bud by the way I love your red handled pick with the thin pick and wide mouth lol I have had mine for years I had it made for me and I didn’t think he was still making them
That's a relatively new pick that one so he is still making them it seems.
Very impressive system Scratchy. Do you design this stuff for a living mate?
Hi Neil, yes that's right, this is what I have been doing for 13 years. Off grid specialists.
Nice work mate.
Watch your buddy mate he slipped a nugget in his pocket while you were not lookin sneeky bugger!
