I was feeling down today, but Chris posted this just at the right time to cheer me up.
Mate, i cried for 3 days when i lost my first dog.
His name was Ralph and he used to wait for me at the gate ever arvo when I got home from work.
I promised myself i would never get another dog after that, but I succumbed to the power of the pooch❤️
You have an exceptional platform to introduce young people into our hobbie, roll with it and maybe toss a few ideas around in your head.
Im sure plenty of kids look up to you.
Well done bro 😎✅
I know how you feel, terrible to lose your best buddie. Good luck with your new best friend.
You couldn't say it better.."it takes alot of work to get good gold " that is some real truth!
Persist, persist, persist. Oh, you are so right, don't give up. Keep going, it won't jump into your pan by itself. Hopefully you'll find a big nuggie soon, you deserve it Chris.
Have a great day 🦘🇦🇺🦘
Thank you for the encouraging words
Oh damn! I felt that let down over that nice foolya metal! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for letting us all tag along!
👍
Good one 👍! At least the water line tells you where the overburden ends🙃
Ouch😜, that had to hurt, though I did have a bit of chuckle as well. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Chris, you’re a real inspiration to me and I learn so much from your videos, advice and philosophies. Keep at it , mate, you’re helping me heal too.
Well done Chris, I now have at least 100 empty buckets I think I will need to fill some up. Haven't lugged buckets about like that for some time.
Be safe, cheers
Brad
Good vid yet again. Had to giggle at the washing machine taking off in the background. Nice. Lol
Awesome video Chris this video is a really good example of test test test 👍it's the only way to find deposits and keeping on the gold. Alawy a great time watching
Can't wait until Spring starts to rear it's beautiful head. Woke up to -40 this morning.. lol Nice to see you're finding that chunkier gold, Chris!! Heavy Pans, mate!!
Minus 40 F? Oh that hurts. Screw that for a joke.
Well I was hoping you’d found a nice nugget the search goes on.... you will find it no worries mate. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
great job on getting the gold thank you for sharing.
That jewelry clasp was SUCH A TEASE haha!
I think it was a rivet off a tent or boot or simmilar
Awesome job Chris, I enjoyed that one! Keep it up! 👊😉✌️
🤔 Noticed, Your editing has jumped a level. 👍 You've spent a lil more time on it I see . Good show. Snowing like hell here with no power for 2 days now here in Oregon. 6:45 am here now, freezing, watching Vo- Gus.
I panned my first nugget on the weekend. It weighs .87grams. I've been slogging it out in the gully for 12months now, averaging .5grams a day. Well I was blown away with my first nugget. I did what you did in this video, I dug under all the flood wash and found the original ground on the bedrock and found the nugget in a crevice
Great stuff mate, hard work is paying off for you.
@@VoGusProspecting can't thank you enough for the videos mate. I'm in a different part of this wonderful country of ours so not everything in your videos apply to my area, but the little tips and tricks you share have really helped me out.
That was a great job and good luck on the next hunt
6:57 what did you say when you dropped the bucket..??? I know what it sounded like..! 🤣🤣🤣
28👍's up thanks for having us all along with you for the rest of the story
Great video Its the trying times that u can make it big cheers Glenno👍
Should try 2 buckets at a time bud,balanced to carry so easier on your body and twice production 😀
That's what I thought after he carried the first bucket
Looks like where I go, a beautiful little patch. Pity about the stinking blackberry. Who thought that shit was a good idea. Nice gold too boss.
Thank you
I got so excited when you flashed to the metal detector find lol your excitement took the whole video to triple max!😁😁🤪 Great video dude, can’t wait for the next one!
Anzac’s would be proud, dedication is the envy of the deprived...🥓🍳
I quite like that
Loving your videos, please keep them coming X
I bet that little object was an eyelet from a miners lace up boot !
Gracias por los fantásticos videos!
Always cheered up by your vids another awesome one
That would be a great take for six hours in Colorado.
💯% bud.
We would be there tomorrow at -0° stay warm swinging a pick!
I love the lifestyle of a prospector and I'm ready to get out and about. Garrett Ace 250 and the Garrett gold trap panning equipment should be a good starter kit. What do you think my chances are Chris?
Inlove how you made us feel what you felt with the title and the reveal! Keep doing what you are doing dude. I have grown to love you. I started watching your channel when my new distraction, from what i now know is ptsd, was panning for gold where i live now in Taiwan. Your videos have given me a lot of perspective on life, not just prospecting, even before i knew you have been dealing with similar issues. I just watched your video talking about your personal stuff and i was very moved and motivated. If you ever want or need a stranger to chat shit with i am david rodway on facebook. Peace bro
I’ve been looking for an old moldy cat everywhere. All mine are tough to catch. Move way to much to grow mold?
Hello friend. The search for gold can be difficult and while it is hard to fail, it is far worse not to have tried. Greetings from Caracas Venezuela. !! Remember: "GOLD IS EVERYWHERE".
@Cat_ I do not agree with you, since it is ironic but the gold is all around us, in the soil of our garden, it is in the rock of the river beds, but the problem is that it is found in very small quantities, in in most cases the gold could be at a ratio of one apart for every billion, which would be like finding a grain of sand in an Olympic swimming pool. In Spanish: “No estoy de acurdo con Usted, ya que resulta irónico pero el oro está a nuestro alrededor, en el suelo de nuestro jardín, está en la roca de los lechos de los ríos, pero el problema es que se encuentra en cantidades muy pequeñas, en la mayoría de los casos el oro podría estar a una proporción de un aparte por cada mil millones, lo que sería como encontrar un grano de arena en una piscina olímpica”.
@Cat_ La vida es una escuela amigo, me suscribo a tu canal... me gusta la minería y la Geología. Espero reciprocidad de su parte, que se suscriba al mio para estar en contacto. Saludos desde Caracas Venezuela.
Not to shabby Chris, I just got back from the creek and I think I got .4 or .5. Great job as always my friend.
I love a pick but full swings wear ya out quick. If you lift it 8-10” off the surface and do a chopping motion you can break up stuff fast with 25% the effort! Love the videos brother!!
Full swings for the workout :-)
@@VoGusProspecting Just one more reason your stronger than me.... 😒
Man I always get jealous of how thin the bush seems around quite a few of the creeks you work in, access seems much easier in your area than the Southwest WA, we have full forrest most places I go. Nice for seclusion, but it's a proper battle getting in to a lot of spots
Hey mate I grew up in Cranbrook and now live in north east Victoria. Is there any gold around your area because I was always told there wasn’t
Yeah, same in NSW... need a machete or or a napalm bomb dropped to clear it..!
@@petermoncrieff2578 there is the greenstone belt (darling range) running from close to Perth all the way south, it runs further than most realise, though not as noticeably the further south one gets, this greenstone belt is known for gold and gems like most areas of geological disturbance. There a several old gold mines in the area, one must delve pretty deep into the dark pages of history to follow the scent. But yes there is definitely gold in multiple areas of the south west, mostly fine, but there are pickers. A lot of government restrictions though, and a lot of the obvious old timer finds are mostly on private property. But it is here, just need to hunt it like a blood hound! Most guys down here don't play in the streams, they head out detecting in the goldfields for "real gold" Suits me!
Thanks Chris awesome goldvas always as salaamu alaikum from Washington state just south of Paulie and Dan Hurd 👍peace ✌
What do you think, could it make sense to separate blonde sand from flour gold with a blue bowl? If it's classified to let's say 50, 70, 100 mesh?
Great video......the suspense was killing me.....the realism brought me back to reality.
That's what we do, build you up to tear you down to rebuild you again!
Enjoy watching your videos nice gold
The highs and lows of it!
I subbed. I am not ever likely to leave the US so I usually don't watch vids of areas I will likely never prospect. That being noted , I saw this title and well , hey, Knowlegde about solutions and hydrology is the same physics globally. Then there is you , Energetic and in the chase... Awesome Bro , thank you
Awesome video X
Wow you had me going there i felt that high and low what a bummer eh oh well better luck next time chris
Awesome video man good job
I been workin on the rail road all the good long days 🤣 .
going to need a bigger bucket :)
This outdoor gym thing is amazing! you should charge people to dig for you.
Great idea
Just started watching this, pretty damn good chanel! My question is are the techniques and how you locate a spot similar in other parts of the world? Such as you're finding where to dig in creeks and such?
Hey Chris...Have you tried a Rot-a-pan gold pan classifier?
Hello from Northern Vermont
six hour “go and play” pass from Zoe, more than makes up for the weigh in.
I did notice a lack of sexy gold brushing before the weigh. Are you cutting back on stroking the gold for health reasons? 😉
Nice video mate, and a pox on whoever dumped the golden crud in your hole.
Did you find anything good (not trash) in the larger rocks - detecting?
Nope.
Oh my mate lots of digging
Nearly a nugget too dam LOL
Nice return but
It’s gold ay
Onya bro
Cheers 🍻
CrouchOz
Great vid. Was waiting for the camera man to swear as he panned in over the gorse....... crappy day on the gold is better than being at home on the couch
Hahaha it took a few takes
I have an idea. You could use some clay to pick up the bits right on the bottom.
Oh this makes me want to get out so badly, hope this five days is up quick.
Ah, a fellow Victorian doing the 5 day Lockdown. Fun ain't it? 》》Opens sliding glass door and waves madly in all directions to say hello to Danielle.
@@markfryer9880 hello mark! It's not to long now hopefully! We are planning a trip to go out this weekend so we have high hopes we are out of this on Wednesday!
@Gort Newton I'm pretty against it all, but in the same breath can't afford any fines what so ever! We got $0 from Centrelink last year and couldn't operate our business for the lock down and then before that work slowed down as we focused on domestic. I did try to talk the partner into just going somewhere in the golden triangle to park and just pretend we didn't know about lockdowns, haha, he didn't go for it though! To much packing in to little hours.
@@Danielle-pt7we As a fellow Vic' these lock downs really are way over the top!!!! unfortunately we are going to be lock up for a bit longer this time as well.
@Gort Newton He has too many sheepal following him. And it is all about the Age333nda. He doesn't care.
It's easier to carry 2 buckets at once than just one. With 2 buckets your more balanced and not wearing one side of your body out than the other. And you move twice the Mount of material. Nice gold by the way.
Nice gold is still nice gold I have that same scale I like it
Yes I did enjoy it and thanks 🙏 for another great video, sorry for the disappointment next time 💪🤙
Sorrry bro. Had to pause yah, 4:33, mid swing of your pick. Had to put the chorizo (a type of spicy sausage) in the pan. Mixing it with onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots and baby bella. mushrooms. Yum.
Okay, dig on Sir
Very nice brother.
Love your videos, keep it up
hi chris, you have a very good CAN DO attitude and i like that :0) good gold too :0) looking forward to the next one :0)
Thanks 👍 gotta get at it bro
Big gold? Can’t wait for it...
Gotta dig deep in the bush to find the honey hole
Maybe back in the 80s hahahaha
I dig deep all the time....got 3 kids to prove it! 🤣
Awesome episode Chris love it 👌also quick question when are we going to see you work some of your dad’s reef iam looking forward to that episode 👍👊
Not sure yet, soon hopefully.
So sad on the metal detector find (but kind of funny reaction). At least ya got GOLD m8.!
Hey Chris,
Can you supply to 1 of my dilemma's....I get up to Heathcote when I can and search along local usually dry creek...As there's no water i have to bring home potential dirt to wash. What's the best way to wash dirt... I usually classify down to workable but find water gets way dirty in blue bowl.. I kitchen strain down to fine but water still gets quite murky....
Any better ways to clean dirt b4 I put through blue bowl?
Love ya work BTW...!!
Put it in a bucket, put that bucket on an angle so it drains, stick a garden hose on it for 5 minutes.
Should blow most of the silt out.
@@VoGusProspecting Will give it a crack but locals at C'Park might get upset wasting water....
If we got a penny for every false target that looks like gold, i think we'd be rich haha
That’s a great take all day
Hey mate. Would you not increase your efficiency by filling the bucket with water and classifying at the deposit so you are taking a full bucket of classified dirt down to pan. Would save a bunch of trips back and fourth. As always, amazing video bud.
I explained that in the video 🙂 no, because then I'm double handling heavy buckets.
@@VoGusProspecting Sorry mate. Shoulda worded it better. My classifier sits just inside the bucket. So I start with a bucket of water,1/4 inch classifier on top and sieve enough material to fill the bucket as it displaces the water. Can keep a bucket spare for top ups which can be handy but I find I generally I only use the 1 bucket.
Bucket Man, I think its gonna be a long, long time :)
Kool as mate, thanks mate.
No problem 👍
I detected for 5 hrs an panned/creviced for 2 hrs in a new location today an only found 1piece of fly poop in the pan 😂😂
We love prospecting, Its so easy to get gold like just put dirt in a pan an wash it out right. Haha. The hard yards we all put in is endless.
That's some proper dedication!
It makes sense to look for fine gold - it all adds up.
Shame, though, that it wasn't a big nugget this time, but you still managed to laugh about it.
You bring hope into peoples lives [me included] with your videos, so I hope the next one you "stumble across" has your name on it, Chris. Tfs
... have you replacing the rocks in the holes you have made or not???
Yes. We always do.
It’s good to know and say. 👍
It’s good to know and to say.
cool beans.... who is the artist that painted the portrait image above your monitor.

Good job
Thanks
Where do I get one of those hats,vogus prospecting
What happened to the brushwork on the Pan??😜
Wow 🤩 cool 😎
Your pick axe skills are on point
Thank you
Definitely not a easy dig but worth the work if you want to get to the right material
The shirt 😳.
🍻🇳🇿🏆🥳.
Ya want more gold...move more dirt!
Great channel mate good information you must be fit I would be dripping in sweat after 6 hours cheers John
Absolutely
@@VoGusProspecting when is the government going to do the right thing and lock down Australia and not the people the rich need there tennis and the money the airports bring in I say f- - - them
The gold’s where you find it 😎
Most of the time!
Great video! Got a question though, could you use a mini excavator to dig deeper and faster , if your on a good spot would it be worth it?
Only if I put in for a claim and that's $100k+
@@VoGusProspecting Ouch. Plus no doubt an Environmental Impact Statement and Remediation Plan.
Something going on with your camera Chris, those fast movement shots of the water and you classifying were really pixilated on the focal point... you play with the settings mate..? Lol... great vid, great find mate. 👍❤🍻
All fine on my end man. Plays at 1080 24p no pixalation
@@VoGusProspecting 1:57 perfect example mate, watch the pan, central point is unfocused but everything on outside of shot is fine, not complaining mate, just notice somethings not the norm..?
Ha ok I know what that is, frame rate.
When you're filming in mixed light, harsh shadows and bright sun, like this video is you have to pick a frame rate that is a happy middle or one or the other.
I pick the middle. So my shadows are not pitch black and my highlights are not totally blown.
This means that fast movment is not captured clearly. It distorts the film where the shadows are because the frame rate is not high enough.
@@VoGusProspecting yes... I knew it..! Thanks mate, another thing you have taught me... I know when my eyes are not lying, and I'm going back and checking it, is my Internet slow, has the pixel res dropped, no, no, no... so I had to contact you, I knew something was different lmao... cheers Chris, your vids are top notch and I was thinking whats going on.. does he even know...! 👍❤🍻
Chris have you ever had an encounter with a Yowie ?
Some of us are unsure if Chris is actually a housebroken Yowie?
Hurt my back just watching. Nice area to work though.
Another halfish gram day is not to shabby take the high banker and smash that area up lol
We would, but that spot is where Grizzly passed and I don't want to go back there. The gold can stay locked in the ground.
Found better spots now anyway 😉
Will be grizzlys golden ground
What's that blue thing you're using? 🤪
