I love the random amount of things included not just gold detecting. It's like a manual of what to do after the zombie apocalpyse in a mad max type scenario
people will always follow other fresh tracks it’s just how it is, I was in kookynie and just ducked off the road for a dunny break and had 2 cars follow my fresh track in 😂, hoping to find a nugget but not that kind of nugget, love the new rig it’s a gem from the past, get underneath it at night with lights on inside and find all the gaps dust can get in. can’t wait to see the big rig all fitted out 😁
Glad to see you out and about. Great to meet Clint’s dad to. I saw the long faces on the dogs when you loaded up. They will miss y’all. Wish you the best on this trip and be safe
Well done you two,I think you'll come across your own untouched patch in a place you least expect it soon near were you are now.. Well done on your camper can't wait to see the progression and the journeys ahead..
Any campers motor homes are like boats something is always breaking or wearing out and your always working or fixing something else good luck with the trip and finding gold as long as you got cold drinks yull have a great time
Well said! I remember when I bought an older motor home and experienced repairing it. My friend said it’s like having a house with a permanent 5.0 earthquake. I have to fix my boat too. Greetings from Yacolt Washington.
Wow - I remember when you first moved into your desert (cattle station) hideaway - now the grass is green and the vegetables are growing - looks awesome - well done
Your coordinates can be pulled from the video, That is probably why someone found your patch. There is a way to turn off that feature that shows your coordinates, but I am not technically savvy enough to know how to do that.
Looks like another great adventure. I look forward to seeing how this trip goes with the new home on wheels 😍. Keep the videos coming, we're loving them. 🎉🎉❤❤
Hey guys, great start. Grab one of those mini blowers from Milwaukee to blow the dust out of the van. They are great to get the camp fire going too. Cheers From Woodstock NSW
Love your new prospecting van! I drive out to Leonora prospecting every 6 weeks or when I can. I would absolutely love to learn more from you both. Jealous of the homestead, it’s a darling of a home. That’s my dream home.
May your home on wheels be safe and reliable and may you travel safely and enjoy some time inside without flies and a shower now and then. Best of luck to both of you.
Pack tea towels around loose things in your cupboards or anything that stops things moving around you’ll be surprised how all that rattling in your bus can drive you mad just a little tip . Love your rumbie she’s looking sweet sending your bus loads of positive energy may she give you many blissfull miles .
Custom build a quad / bike trailer that is a sealed set of storage compartments and the bikes / quad parks on top of. Or build it with a 500 litre water tank down the bottom and quad / bikes on top.
Like your ride. Never leave gold in the ground. Once you’ve on the gold you hold onto it. You can’t leave for weeks. Your hand was tipped. They knew you found gold- they must of seen you. Seen something. Drat. Sorry. I was rooting for you to return to that spot untouched.
Wow you're home on Wheels is looking good now you'll have everything and you won't forget anything that's good 😂 only one thing I think maybe you 😢 forgot 😢 champagne to celebrate when you find 500 oz of gold😂🧻🆒🇹🇨🇹🇦🇳🇿❤❤ You two be safe out there thank you for the video see you on the next one
Hi guys, love your channel. Gas hot water system exhausting in an enclosed space sadly has killed many people over the years. Please exhaust it outside so we can continue to follow you ! Open windows don’t always work well enough. (35 years in gas industry- this makes me nervous.) please take care❤
Fairdinkum Aussie battlers.😎🇦🇺 Champagne is a proper home on wheels, and home is where the heart is(in the dusty, fly filled Goldfields) Go get some GOLD legends.🤙 *Love the jumper's, congrats on the speci Noel.
It was so fun to see you getting everything ready! How cool is that to have Clint's Dad along! Hi Clint's Dad!!! Hope you all find a great undiscovered spot! Stay safe!
I am enjoying watching you grow Chrissy. Your life has taken a good turn. By the way who left the windows open? Didn't take someone long to find your patch. Someone recognised where you were.
Love the caravan! It will take some time to get it fully sorted but I believe it will serve you as a comfortable and safe home away from home. With some more Lithium batteries and some 300 watt solar panels on the roof, you can run a small mini-split aircon unit. They are now available in 12volt DC. If you install an AC powered aircon, you will need a unit with a built in soft starter or you can purchase that separately. You will get back on the good gold again soon, and with the caravan, you can stay longer and clean out a good patch instead of others taking advantage of your hard work prospecting. Cheers to you both.... With respect... Joe
I'm switching to Aussie Miricle Curls shampoo after watching This episode. Luv that WA Haircolor & Curls ! ! You guys make a Gr8 Team and It's nice to see Clint being less camera shy. Stay Safe, Hav Fun and Happy Trails ! 😊
The advantage of having the hot water service inside the bathroom is at will actually warm the room up for when you toluene the water off so ya don't freeze your ass off.
Hi Krissy another great video Clint is becoming quite proficient on the camera great to see. You two have done a fantastic job with the old homestead congratulations. Pity that someone has been to your patch but that’s prospecting, good luck with your adventure. Great to see Clint’s dad with the two toned hair 😊
Hi kris and Clint, top job on cleaning truck back to a point of usefulness now , both doing your own things to fix her up, your garden at the house i,m hooked on how healthy its going ,, credits to both of you its just like a resort
Ich liiiiebe es euch zuzusehen; so bin ich auch prospecting, werde aber nicht staubig 😅. Ich habe auf kangoroo Island gelebt und liebe OZ. Liebe Grüße aus Österreich. Good findings , Maggy
Hi Krissy I use those Magic Erasers from Bunnings or online to clean up the dreaded bulldust. The airvent in the ceiling of the Isuzu should provide positive air pressure to keep some dust under control.
Well! You got there! And thats a bloody good thing, there's always the worry of what might go wrong, im glad you had Clints dad along, the second vehicle was an extra bit of security. And he certainly won the day with the gold. Yep! There's always something left at home, no matter how well organized you are! Have fun, stay safe, find another good patch, and enjoy! Cheers!
Great video Krissy and Clint. Might be good to look at a positive pressure fan to keep the dust out of the van while you are on the move. Keep the videos coming.
Speaking from experience get some resealable plastic containers. Non slip mats in the cupboards. Clint you did it proper. Excellent job thank you for sharing 😊
Great video, news seems to travel way too fast. Must be an amazing grapevine out there tracking you down. No doubt, there will be a lot more red dust to come. Thanks for the video.
Sorry I'm late ... I was watching Pale Rider. I don't watch TV or movies anymore, but that one is still worth watching. Love the new motorhome! Now you have a place away from the flies that's not too cramped! Fantastic!
Hi Chrissie and Clint , looks like you have Champer almost sorted, poor dogs I think they wanted to go too ! Hopefully you all get heaps of nuggets out there and less flys too. Stay safe guys and enjoy can't wait till your next video. Cheers 😊
Hi guys .Great to see the new rig up and running. Your cable from the panels to your battery is too small and could cause a fire check the current from your panels and go the next size cable that will cover the output amps. And I would research how you can be electronically tracked as I'm sure you have been. No use doing all the prospecting and someone else gets the benefit. We love your adventures and look forward future episodes cheers.
Love the setup. You've both done an amazing job getting it all ready for your trip and to be back on the gold again. Good luck out there, and stay safe.
Make use of your water leak this trip. Put a dishpan under the drip while you are sitting still and use that water to wash your rocks/species or gold. Just a thought for you. I love and appreciate your videos. Safe trips and good fortune. 😊
Fun little contest, do it again. You need to choose when you clean the motor home, before you start or after you arrive at destination, what a dust magnet.
Gotta get the AC fixed so the windows are can be closed an wa-la !!!!! No red dirt or dust the RV…. Yippy!!!! I’m a clean freak an would be makin the bed an cleaning everything before I walk out the door!!!! I work out of town an stay in hotels 300 days a year , housekeeping laugh at me cause I clean everything an take out trash before I let them come in to change out towels an change the linens!!!! I stay at the same hotel every week!
Well.. another new adventure begins..! Fit in a couple of air spinners on the roof of your motor home so as you are driving along those dirt tracks they will force air into the home with air pressure and hopefully. No more dust issues coming in.. Cheers Famo59.. P.S well I finally uploaded some videos on my gold trip to Victoria.. 👍🍻⛏️
Also petrol garden leaf blower for the dust in the truck and panniers and a basket for your detectors ,for your two wheelers,our little ag farm bikes use 10x less fuel than our quads w little maintenance, 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🏝🏝🏝
@bridgwll lol further where? Every inch of the interior of that truck is coated in dust lol stand at the back open everything forward facing and blow it out cab included lol
I would recommend both a carbon monoxide detector and a smoke detector as a priority. While sleeping , we had a smouldering electrical wire in our van some time ago. So needless to say these are life savers. Happy prospecting.
Hi bit late catching up but a good test for leaks differentbspots with differed coloured food colouring to see where its coming from .... a tried n true test in my bus
Enjoyed the video once again I am sorry that someone has found your spot and gone crazy detecting it, we would probably all do the same even though I would probably get bored finding that much gold. Just started to detect for this dry season myself using my new 14 by 9 coil on the 6000, I had picked a couple of spots on my mates map/GPS, he picked them actually but they were near enough to the spots I had decided to go to so I went with the decision and off we went, I got all the permissions and picked the track in then we got halfway there and there is a huge river crossing, it was drying out but up the other side was soft sand and we decided to approach the area from the other side, another large creek with vertical sides got in the way so I took him down to another spot I had been wanting to detect and looked it up on his map when we got there and the geology was the same as the area we were trying to get to, he went into the middle and I went around the outer edge to halfway around the outcrop and I started to detect, I got my Minelab detector harness out and it wasn't made for fat old buggers so I just managed to get it on, the new coil is so much heavier than the 11"mono the GPX comes with, it increases the weight substantialy and I had to hook it up to spread the weight, for a first try for the season I found the tiniest bit of an old shoe tack, only detected for twenty or so minutes then went back to find my off-sider had got his car stuck between three or four mounds of dirt so I pulled him out of there, Maverick/Patrol the best. Don't they make fold up stairs to get in and out of your truck there is a major injury waiting to happen using that ladder, it should fold up flat up the side of the camper and come down with handrails in place also, there's a challenge for Clint to come up with something. Have a good day. Leon
😎 *Cool Clint's quote of the week* _"We're tryin to find gold.... not watch TV!"_ 😎
Ciggie and no seatbelt...... True Aussie bushman right there, cant get more genuine.
I love the random amount of things included not just gold detecting. It's like a manual of what to do after the zombie apocalpyse in a mad max type scenario

Well done you two,I think you'll come across your own untouched patch in a place you least expect it soon near were you are now..
Well done on your camper can't wait to see the progression and the journeys ahead..
Its fantastic to see how productive and healthy your fruit trees and vegetable gardens have become!
Your smiles in your new mobile home are like nuggets of gold.
Well said! You should be a writer.
Any campers motor homes are like boats something is always breaking or wearing out and your always working or fixing something else good luck with the trip and finding gold as long as you got cold drinks yull have a great time
Well said! I remember when I bought an older motor home and experienced repairing it. My friend said it’s like having a house with a permanent 5.0 earthquake. I have to fix my boat too. Greetings from Yacolt Washington.
Wow - I remember when you first moved into your desert (cattle station) hideaway - now the grass is green and the vegetables are growing - looks awesome - well done
Just lovely that you got the motor home. Looking good! Stay safe and get lots of big nuggets you two.
Good luck and God bless you all.

Best channel on YT. Been a blast watching you guys build your dreams. Rock on 🙌
Wow Kristy...when you started your garden I thought...what a waste of time. Boy, did you prove me wrong! You're a bad ass!
Its sure a sight for sore eyes the garden, I love it too
Anything will grow in the red dirt with fertiliser and water
Will it haul the GOLD home, all that weight , HA.HA.... Good luck Girl..U 2 mate....
Awesome motor home. Clint is a great maintenance man. Jack of all trades a perfect match with Chrissy.
You should always carry a tube of sealall, good for gas and water leaks.
It's an isuzu, regular service and general maintenance it will go for ever!! Congratulations on the camper looks mint!!
Hi from Glasgow Scotland
A very dusty drive out there I like the photo of you and Clint in front of Champagne Chalet, Good hunting again for this trip.
Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!🤣🤣🤣
All the best with the detecting. Hoping you have a successful trip 👏👍

Sorry someone found y’all’s patch. Maybe there will still be plenty of gold for y’all. I hope you find 10+ TOZ on this trip! 😊
Them old Trailors are buit to last as long as they are taken care of . It will be a good home away From home for you folks👍
It was so fun to see you getting everything ready! How cool is that to have Clint's Dad along! Hi Clint's Dad!!! Hope you all find a great undiscovered spot! Stay safe!

Mobile homes are a kick, especially in the desert! Love the channel. Go get gold!
I love you guys so much I love your videos I love your adventures
Good luck with your new home in wheels I hope you find a tonne of gold
Best gold prospecting channel out there! I would have taken my dog though, she's my everything
The advantage of having the hot water service inside the bathroom is at will actually warm the room up for when you toluene the water off so ya don't freeze your ass off.
Hi Krissy another great video Clint is becoming quite proficient on the camera great to see.

Thanks, that was fun. ✌🏻👊🏼
Hope you got a new teapot, for home use. 🤐🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Nice work on the RV, now the gold.👍⛏️
Good veges! Now gold adventure next!
Good to see you both on the road again hope you find plenty of nuggets & stay safe.
Wishing you big, beautiful nuggets. Maybe a fan vented above the front cab area will prevent the dust from entering the home by pressurizing it a bit.
Great motor home. Love Phill's two tone hair. I went in a car rally in Kalgoorlie years ago and ended up being a true redhead.
Flies or no flies - that is the question...
The season has changed.
That Isuzu diesel will go forever. I think id try to find a small mini split air conditioner. And find out where that dust is getting in!
You can’t seal everything. Where the motor is, is a hole, then the seat does not seal. You will never stop the dust .
Well! You got there! And thats a bloody good thing, there's always the worry of what might go wrong, im glad you had Clints dad along, the second vehicle was an extra bit of security. And he certainly won the day with the gold. Yep! There's always something left at home, no matter how well organized you are! Have fun, stay safe, find another good patch, and enjoy! Cheers!

Better luck next video happy hunting thanks for the video, as always keep safe and be happy ...
Awesome session guys, love the new camper..
Clint ' I like the way U work as a sparkey, that's a electrician here in the U.S.A.......
Great stuff, you all look so happy together in the bush and finding a bit more gold.
Dennis and Donna
Fantastic videos! I don’t watch anything else now. I love your new Recreational vehicle.
I want to go with you on your journey! Have fun and find lots of gold!!!
Sorry I'm late ... I was watching Pale Rider. I don't watch TV or movies anymore, but that one is still worth watching.
Love the new motorhome! Now you have a place away from the flies that's not too cramped! Fantastic!
Hi Chrissie and Clint , looks like you have Champer almost sorted, poor dogs I think they wanted to go too ! Hopefully you all get heaps of nuggets out there and less flys too. Stay safe guys and enjoy can't wait till your next video. Cheers 😊
Coming along nicely 👌 😊
Keep moving to glory,you rock👏🤞✌️🤠🥵❣️
Hi guys .Great to see the new rig up and running. Your cable from the panels to your battery is too small and could cause a fire check the current from your panels and go the next size cable that will cover the output amps. And I would research how you can be electronically tracked as I'm sure you have been. No use doing all the prospecting and someone else gets the benefit. We love your adventures and look forward future episodes cheers.
Just love where ypu guys go. We don't prospect but love the bush, any wildflowers 🎉
Awesome! Can't wait to hear the overall first trip with the new rig, what a difference this is going to make!
Very good job, keep up the good work, you two 👍
Love the setup. You've both done an amazing job getting it all ready for your trip and to be back on the gold again. Good luck out there, and stay safe.
Great fun and great company! Hope you have a wonderful trip and stay safe, welcome to your friend enjoy. Love it! 👍
missed you last week.......
It's a good idea to take a short trip first. That way, if you've overlooked something, it's not too much bother to go back.
There is no “short” trips in the outback.
@@bridgwll true, So that's why it is important. It's a long way back if you've left something important.
@@gregsanderson2470 I agree. I always make lists.
Great to see Clint playing a more active part in the series...he seemed at a bit shy at the beginning.
Make use of your water leak this trip. Put a dishpan under the drip while you are sitting still and use that water to wash your rocks/species or gold. Just a thought for you. I love and appreciate your videos. Safe trips and good fortune. 😊
Always inspiring. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.
Oh wow! Thanks a lot!! I appreciate it 😊

Also petrol garden leaf blower for the dust in the truck and panniers and a basket for your detectors ,for your two wheelers,our little ag farm bikes use 10x less fuel than our quads w little maintenance, 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🏝🏝🏝
We don’t want to spread the dust further.
@bridgwll lol further where? Every inch of the interior of that truck is coated in dust lol stand at the back open everything forward facing and blow it out cab included lol
I would recommend both a carbon monoxide detector and a smoke detector as a priority. While sleeping , we had a smouldering electrical wire in our van some time ago. So needless to say these are life savers. Happy prospecting.
@@shanefraser7764 a blower is only blowing the dust around
@bridgwll it blows the dust out the open ...........Doors and windows ✌️
Awesome, another two week adventure.
Thank you again for bringing us on your adventure, at least you guys are out there! Not going to find gold on the couch
Wishing you all the best & an abundance of luck love luck & happiness from County Durham uk xx
Gday Clints Dad... :)
Krissy I have seen you pull gold out of other people’s dig holes. And they didn’t get it all. You just have to go farther than they went
Good luck and stay safe
