- A 3-5 day trip on a new river testing for alluvial gold deposits. A massive send into the Tassie bush on the hunt for gold and osmiridium this is one of my most challenging exploration missions. The gold and osmiridium take some finding but we do come home with some finds for our efforts.

Even without jaw dropping amounts of gold, following you on your adventures is equally amazing. Well done on completing your mission and I look forward to your next one.
Thank you I wasn’t sure if this one would be received well but there’s been some great comments
@@officialtassieboysprospecting I bought one of your Tassie Boys Prospecting beanies's only got it in the mail 2 days ago......Pete from Devonport ...🤠
YES!! Almost 42 minutes. Great! Who needs Netflix when we have Tassie Boys.

Always have a blast coming by fam. Keep on having fun getting that au & living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!
Tenacious. Steady. Massive work.
Your age allows you the opportunity. Thanks for sharing (easy for us to say - we're all on our couches)
Hang in there, Levi 😎👍🏼
Thanks for that Levi, a wonderful Video, thanks for taking me with you, truly amazing, especially for us older folks who could probably do it once but certainly can't now. Cheers.
An awesome adventure Levi! I always appreciate the effort you put in, to bring us these expeditions. Tassie is as hard as it is beautiful. 😎🥃
It’s a challenge at times but I love it 🤪 cheers mate
Really appreciate your trip and used to be like you and go on trips. Unfortunatly now disabled so you are my eyes and ears now. The gold is nice but the trips with nature are best
Thank you for your hard work and keep the videos coming
Awesome trip Levi. Another river checked off the list. When an obstacle gets in my way now I always think to myself 'Levi would just punch on through' you inspire me to just deal with whats in front of me
The real treasure is the journey. You are having experiences that very few people ever have. I spent a lot of time in the bush in the 70's and now most of those places are either closed off or over run with people who don't respect the place. Thanx for taking us on this journey!
Watched your adventure on a Sunday morning here in Cornwall UK.....felt like I was with you for three days....as usual your photography and editing style packed a punch energising my outlook on lifes adventures..thanks for all the hard work....
Nice to see some real reality in a gold show.
That’s dedication! That pack looks so heavy😯 your prospecting adventures take you to the most beautiful places❤️ love the new pack raft!
My office is amazing 🤩
Way to rock it....this is why I have stuck around since OG times.
Great resilience Levi. A tough trip by the looks of it, but you kept ploughing on through. Keep up the good work!
You might not have found a lot of gold, but man that was beautiful. It's good to see the up's and down's of prospecting, you never know what is there until you look. Thanks for the video and dedication, I really appreciate it Levi!
😮 😊
Love the adventure! Even if there is little gold. Keep livin your best life brother!
You do some quality work in some of the most beautiful places. Thank you
You deserve a medal, *Tassie Boys Prospecting* 🤛🙌😯
Mate you’ve out done yourself on this one. That was an amazing effort to take yourself and all that heavy gear into the wilderness and then take the time to film the adventure. That was dedication when you woke up at 3 am in the rain to get the raft to higher ground and still grabbed the go pro to film. Looked like a beautiful river and the new raft works a treat. Keep up the great work mate.
Thanks mate appreciate it
What a great mission, thanks for filming for us. Good to know even with a plan you can not yield as well as you would like 😎👍🏼 good luck on the top of the river 🤞🏻
That’s prospecting for sure, makes you appreciate the awesome days when gold is aplenty. Beautiful back country there in Tasmania and the adventure is part of the fun. Enjoyed this video and showing the reality that not every adventure produces large amounts of gold. Happy prospecting Levi and may you have heavy snuffer bottles!
I’m so envious of your wilderness! Back in the 70’s , my wilderness was Baja California. Where we searched and found perfect waves, and secret spot’s. Love your channel Eli. Also your spirit of exploration is insane!! Hopefully you have a Satellite phone for emergencies
Thanks mate yes always carry the sat phone with me 👍🏼
It was good to see the good and the bad prospecting and potential riches of Tasmania‘s witness 🌦🌏👍🏻
Hey buddy the wild beauty is stunning to me! I've been in most of wild America, including Alaska and I'm captivated.Also there's nothing better than a fresh wild trout over a open fire! I'm 60 and in great shape because of doing exactly what you have been doing! Didn't really have the technology for filming but I have my memories and people like you! Rock on brother!
Awesome adventure- great editing/music and scenery! Thanks for sharing with us! 💯⭐️👊🏼
Loved the video Levi. Sorry it didn't turn out better for you. That was a lot of work, for very little return. Keep the videos coming.
Gold is cool but the adventure you take us on is way cooler. You take us on magnificent journeys to places most of us will never get to, sharing a great mix of adventure, joys & success, sometimes physical & mental exhaustion. Keeping it real & sharing emotions sometimes makes us your audience more connected.
Keep up the ace content but do what you love to do because you want to do it.
If you start creating content as a chore to keep numbers up then it’ll show.
Thanks heaps for sharing.
This is also a great advertisement for that raft. Thing is a beast. Couldn’t believe it didn’t pop
Loved your prospecting adventure! Seeing new places and taking the time to check them out is rewarding in itself. ⛏️👊
We understand the loneliness, but love eating beef jerky, or better still frying a large piece of ribeye and stovies, washed down with welcoming hot tea or coffee. Despite the rain you had a good trip. We love following you on your expeditions. We love your underwater and drone work. It's really fun and relaxing. Thank you so much! Wendi
"Satched" .... haven't heard that in ages ! Nice one 👍 😅
Brilliant stuff mate. Could sense the real spirit of adventure. Sweet packraft, and some interesting terrain. Loved it. Thanks 👍
Awesome video of beautiful river and gorges, shame about the lack of gold, many thanks for sharing.
Wow...thank you for your mammoth effort bringing this to us....pristine and beautiful scennery in that area . Shame the weather wasnt kinder this trip.
Love the way you put this together.
Thanks Peggy 😊
Fantastic trip, thanks for taking us along.
Great Adventure, beautiful bit of country
That was an amazing effort Levi! a shame you didn't find more gold, but that's prospecting, looking forward to your next adventure
Tough slog but you hung in there. Awesome country and excellent effort to cover the 12k. Cheers
That's why they call it prospecting, and now you know. The adventure is half the fun of the trip. I live in western Washington state and the scenery you have definitely compares to it. Love the videos and I can't wait until the snow melts here so I can get back on the riva.
La fotografia es espectacular, muy hermoso lugar...mezclar la estetica con la busqueda le da mucha fuerza al video!!!
Brilliant mate 2nd n 3rd nights get me missing the family most but it’s a fleeting thing the bush just kinda absorbs it by keepin you busy especially when a speck turns up my kinda trip right there bro liked the style of this edit too goodonya cheers
Thanks mate yeah the bush certainly keeps us occupied never a dull moment out there hope ya well mate cheers 🍻
@@officialtassieboysprospecting all good here cobs busy fixing busted bikes getting ready for the next mission you know how it goes look after yourself bro cheers
As always, love your work mate. Love your hard work and dedication. Sometimes the chase is better than the catch.
What a adventure man, we need more of these videos keep em coming
Thanks so much for the adventure! It is amazing what you do for us to enjoy. Thanks again.
What a fun beautiful trip. I wish you would take a buddy or brother along. Don't you ever get scared by yourself out in the wilderness? One slip and a broken leg could be a major problem..please be careful. Because I love watching your videos, and I am sure that your family doesn't want anything to happen to you. It is so beautiful where you are. I can't imagine how crazy cold that water must be. Brrrrrr.
I think because I’m so busy doing my thing and talking to the camera I don’t get to lonely I carry good safety gear it’s not real wise to go alone but I have epirb, gps, first aid and snake bite kit I carry at all times I know that won’t always save someone but all I can do is be well prepared and no my limits. I do feel fairly safe and have become accustomed to life out there now
For all your hard work Levi you deserved more gold than that my friend. Better luck next time.
There was some amazing geology along the way! Thanks for sharing your trip.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. It's so beautiful out there. The trip itself is priceless be safe 🙏 happy prospecting.
Nothing but admiration for you! Thanks for the adventure!
Thank you so much for taking the wife and I on these adventures with you! Love your videos, the filming, the locations, the music, the food, the camping....all of it! The knowledge you share is all being absorbed and stored for future reference! Can't wait for your newest uploads!!
Thanks mate appreciate that
That was such a awesome mission, even if you didn't find much!
Succeed or fail
Your content is great
You show the best part of our country to all the world
TASSIE is a great place of OZ
Wow how cool this is!!! great show!!!
You get trips like that levi but i do love those wild places that make you feel like the first person to see them awsome to watch
Great to see a new vid. Cheers.
Great effort enjoyed going for the ride
Awesome adventure!! Had to put on a jumper while watching, made me feel cold 😁
Taking my hat off to your dedication!
thanks. nicely made. lots of hard work there!
Gold or no gold what a beautiful river levi !! What a adventure good luck in the next one !
just love watching your videos. It's like watching National Geographic. Long videos are good. Thx.
Cheers appreciate that I wasn’t sure how it would be received being long etc so good to hear there’s been some good comments so I think people are enjoying
I really enjoy watching your videos getting out to see the world beautiful just amazing keep up the good work gold or not it looks beautiful
Beautiful video!
👏👏
Thank you Levi.
I really did like this video, even if it wasn't what you were hoping for. To see the Tassie pristine wilderness was awesome. Love it. If you ever come across a Tassie Devil tell no one but your family. I'm certain they are out there and not extinct.
Thanks very oh yes you mean the Tassie tiger the devils I see regularly
@@officialtassieboysprospecting oops .Tiger . That's the one.😄
Fell in love with tazie couple of years ago fly fishing .
Fishing rivers like that brings back memories great work buddy ✌️✌️👍
Cheers it’s addictive
Thanks Levi, got to be one of my fav videos of yours by far. Always interesting seeing someone else go through the highs and lows of a trip out thats not going exactly to plan, to then persevering with the task at hand. As always thanks for sharing another epic adventure out in Tas.
Win some lose some , that's prospecting, but hey Levi you gave it a good crack ,congrats mate job well done ,big effort 👏👏⛏⛏,
Thanks Levi for this trip. Gosh it sure must of been cold for you! Looking forward for your next video! Again Thanks!
Love the time you put into the production of your videos mate thank you
Great adventure never found much just goes to show you don't strike it all the time keep up the good work
this is just a really cool way to see the countryside- hike down with raft in a backpack- barely navigable streams that even a canoe would be annoying to portage
Great vid. Amazing scenery too.
Great adventure, loved watching the trip with all the beauty of that place as you went. Thanks for sharing
I really like this video. Just a down to earth experience. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Levi, a great video, ❤️
Half of me thinks you are crazy undertaking these trips & the other half of me is cheering you on because I enjoy the videos so much 🤣
I’m definitely crazy but that’s what it takes 🤪
Great watch mate, you didn’t give up 👍🏻
Путешествие не из простых, но очень увлекательно. Успехов тебе.
Thankyou
Thanks Levi, HUGE Effort for very little. Still achieved what you set out to do... Legend mate. Cheers
Good job Levi
First night spot on Levi! I get that just going camping not far for 2 nights with reception to. Your videos are always great to watch and i love the editing. Gotta love tassie mate 👍👌
You never know unless you go.
Good effort Levi.
Better luck 🍀 next time.
Was a good adventure, look forward to seeing you return to hit those good deposits. 👍
Thanks for another awesome adventure. Cheers from California!
RIVER OF A FEW RETURNS, BUT THANKS FOR THE EXPEDITION.
Who needs a gym when you can go out hiking and sniping like you. 😅Always awesome just to see the beauty of almost untouched nature in your videos. And sure, for all the effort you put in, you always shall be rewarded with some shiny. Next time, you know this river a little better, and it will offer you more, the better you know eachothers 😉
Awesome dedication have to be pretty fit to travel 12km up that river
Just got back from a prospecting trip travelled 2km down the river on a kayak with the highbanker, tipped over once down the rapid some of the gear fell off, got it back on
The water pump took a few pulls to start, water coming out of the exhaust but it was worth the effort ending up getting 10grams!
Excellent video....the adventure and prospecting makes it much more beautiful. Thank you for sharing this prospecting adventure.👏
Nice one, good fun trip. Being lode country it could be easy to miss the chunky stuff if it's concentrated in one spot close to where it sheds off the hill.
Awesome it's my dream to prospect in Tassie! Love your camping style, just bought a JetBoil, and some packs of Peak Refuel Beef Stroganoff = ) Watching from Seattle Washington, if you ever want a free stay, my family has a vacation condo downtown for you and the fam
That would be amazing hoping to travel one day
Thanks for bringin us along Levi, looks more like the kind of adventure I'm used to (gold-wise)! Hard to find the right bedrock sometimes, and it's tough hoppin from spot to spot. I gotta admire your dedication, can't wait to see when one of those scouting trips really pays off
Wow what an epic adventure....
My old prospecting mate used to say " there WILL be more, I don't know where, I don't know when but there WILL be more ". Better luck next time mate 🙂👍
I like that it is true I had a good week this week 🤫
In California we find larger deposits when the gorges narrows and get very steep. We use all the other indicators that you are using. Crumbling bedrock is the best gold catch.
I have an unorthodox miner friend who will check the last place you would ever look and successfully find nuggets when she is getting skunked. She may be a gold magnet.
Love your videos for the gold, the spectacular settings and your excitement when you are on a streak. May you find huge nuggets on your next outing!
That’s interesting do you find you have to move big boulders and overburden or is the gold more in the cracks and crevices along edges etc?
@@officialtassieboysprospecting it’s always a mix. I’m willing to move large boulders (as much as possible) but what we look for is high sides of exposed bedrock on the hillside with the degraded bedrock cracks running perpendicular to the water flow in the actual water. It’s the perfect river riffle that traps the largest gold pockets. I have also seen people pull a quarter ounce of placer flakes out of moss on bedrock. They rinse the bottom of the chunks of moss in a bucket and pan the material. Love your videos and hope this helped a bit! Cheers!
@@officialtassieboysprospecting Most of the bedrock I saw in this video was running parallel to the river which is 90 degrees from the ideal direction. However, any crack with hard packed gravel should have yielded some gold unless this river was never very rich in the first place. The coarsest gold may be able to drop out in the gut of the river where smaller pieces will get blown through.
amazing forest and river
Its still a wonderful trip
Headed out myself in 40 mins! ✨️⛏️ watch this and out the door!
This has been one of your best vids to date mate, was right there with you!
Thanks mate
Takes a pretty tough dude to do what you are doing for your hobby. Thanks again my friend. Bill
BRAVO!
i gave you a thumbs up when you said " im holding the camera with my mouth''. 😃👍
