Keep a roll of masking tape with you. When you pull multiple things off, number them in order of removal. If you disconnect several things, number the connections the same, so you know what goes into what.
Awesome Krissy. You're going to be a super star in Germany soon. With the off road driving you do, you should change your Oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter every 5000 kms. That old motor will always keep going then. Also, with your battery clamps, disconnect them and take out the tightening bolt and carefully push a screw driver into the gap and twist it a bit to expand the joint. That will let you push them all the way home. Keep finding the colour Krissy.
Hi Krissy ! A small electric air compressor would be a good idea for blowing out the air filter and any dust anywhere else in camp, like the inside of your trailer or truck, even you if you're covered in dust at the end of the day! Take care!!
Hey Krissy, a small bit of advice, You should blow the air filter from inside out. If you blow from outside in, you will block the air filter. Keep up the great work!👍
Also you need to blow air from the inside out, not the other way. When it's running, the air is being sucked into the middle of the filter, and the dust accumulates on the outside. You need to blow air from the inside to remove the dust.
A couple tips Krissy- To get the battery terminals all the way down properly you need to use a screwdriver to spread open the wraparound ends a bit, then slide it all the way down and then re tighten the bolt. And, it is actually okay to gently tap one side then the other back and forth to get them down snuggly if necessary, you will not hurt anything by doing that. To clean your air filter better you should actually blow it out from the inside out- opposite of the way the air gets sucked into it. I admire your determination to do things yourself!
Hi Krissy, it’s great to hear that you’ve had interest from German TV . I hope that this takes you further along your path of gold seeking and adventure in the outback. All my best wishes to you.
Oh how exciting! I hope you will let us know when you find out! I am so happy you found a great little spot! I grew up in the desert, and my dad was a mechanic who always kept a spare air and fuel filter, fan belt, spark plugs, oil and a few other things in the tool box in the bed of his pickup in case he broke down outland. He also had a pair of coated gloves so he wouldn't get shocked. I was so afraid when you dropped the camera that you had gotten a shock! I have zero mechanical ability, so I am just in awe of you fixing that yourself! Awesome job hun! Do take care out there! Joanie and Ger Bear
Hi Krissy great to see you back out again detecting. As for your battery terminals loosen fully then use flat blade screw driver to spread open terminals then they will be easier to push on. Hope this helps you next time. Keep swinging.
"Uuuf, where's it Stuck? . . EVERYWHERE!" . . . LMAO ! . . . AND, you got er done! Luv the determination and the content on this vid. The time lapse of the cloud'z was Kewl ! Gr8 opener of the "Gearing Up" routine and am glad 2C you've got an Aux Battery on the Land Rover. (is there a spare on the trailer?) Removing the Ground First & connecting it Last is the proper & safest method of swapping Car Batteries. Sometimes washers are used between terminals to keep them from bending other terminals when tightened, but just one under the nut is good. Ya might want to "re-terminate" the one that's down to a few wires. My Boat had two Batteries w/ an "isolation switch" allowing power & charging from/for either or both Batt's. Be Kewl, Stay Safe & Hav Fun ! !
Thank you so much 😁 The trailer only has one battery, maybe I'll upgrade to lithium one day (gotta find more gold first). The two batteries in the car are connected with an isolator - must be one of the five cables 👍🏻
@@OutbackGoldFever You have Disney advertising their "streaming" services on UR channel in my area . . . that's Sayin somethin! . . Glad to hear UR being picked up by other Media Outlets, you Deserve it ! Looks like someone's noticed UR Focus and Professionalism. Nice Piece-o-Werk ! ! ; )
Great hunt Krissy! And excellent auto work. I have twin daughters, one paid attention to dad and learned how to change her own oil, check her fluids and tires, etc. the simple things to keep you going. The other one doesn't know where her dipstick is at. Go figure. Anyway i don't know if it'll work there and it doesn't here all the time but i call it my "fly relief." It's simple and most of the time it works. Most. I take a pie dish, fill it about halfway with water, add a little salt and float a sponge on it or in it. The flies are drawn to the moisture and the salt. Pretty soon they decide to take a swim. It'll usually work up to 50 - 100 feet away from you. Also i bet your happy for a bed:-) Months i slept in the cab of my truck till i finally got a topper and built a bed. Something to stretch out on. Was great! Peace.
You did the right thing by disconnecting the negative terminal first. To make it safe you can use anything even plastic bags or whatever just to keep the terminals insulated from things so they don't knock against the body of the truck while you are changing the battery. You are mighty. Changing a battery takes strength and commitment.
Well done on the batteries. You can always google bush mechanics if you get stuck. That's if you have any Internet. Great video. Fingers crossed big gold for you this week
I grew up in Germany, I love the opportunity to speak it when I can!! Been in USA since 1974, lol, i hat nichts vergessen alles, but I never learned to spell it much.
Hi Krissy, that small round ball is more than likely bird shot from a shotgun cartridge.Filming while working on your 4x4 enables you the ability to check the footage for reference.I always film or photo my work on my car to make sure i restore parts in the right order.Happy hunting cheers.
Highly unlikely, obviously u havent spent time in the bush,everybody i know carry a rifle, ashotgun has no., range so useless ,if u have to live off the bush 👍
The isolation, heat and dust I could deal with but the flies! They would drive me mad. I don't know how you do it, Krissy. Thanks for sharing. From the UK.
I am A Mechanic, An You did Amazing Job. Negative First always. Once the negative is off, It wont shock you. Then Negative last just like you did it. I usually run a string or zip tie through multiple wires to hold them back. That small red positive wire that was kind of floppy should be fixed . But will hold for while. / Also great choice on battery's. Sealed battery is always better in my mind. / They seem to last longer I think. / Air filter if you can see light going though it. This mean it is ok. Look from the inside out. If not I usually tap it with my hand to clean then re check. / I would replace it if you CAN NOT see light. / Love the metal Detecting. I hope you find a Potato size Gold Nugget again. :)))
Krissie, zip ties, get different lengths, they make extra hands when you don’t have enuff. Take pictures be4 you start, I do, I always have parts left over when I do something. You are a joy and a jewel.
Best thing with an aircleaner is, if you think it needs to be replaced, replace it. An air cleaner is cheaper than a dusted engine. Great to see you giving everything a go!
Just got back from detecting myself and turned on the internet to get my weekly fix of someone who does find gold, really good video and I enjoyed it to the end, I got a .22 calibre shell and a sliver of digger bucket blade, keep up the good work, have a great week.
I love the way you live your life no cities no towns no people quiet out there in the bush nobody to bother you you find gold to make your your living I love every second of it and I wish you well and safety because we know that there are pirates out there so you be careful enjoy your life and love what you doing by swinging and digging you take care of yourself and watch your back
Another great video. Prospector, Geologist, Surveyor and now Mechanic. You sure can do a lot of things. lol. It was good to see you enjoying yourself and maybe more Gold on the next hunt. Take care as always. xx
Love watching the way you hunt for the gold.even more when you find the gold the way you say Where on the gold i just get a kick out of it lol and I see you have New detector.s way to go about time . right 👍 we I wish you more gold to find 😜 have fun and be safe till then.... Chow your number one fan form Las Vegas Nevada
Hey Krissy. From Germany to outback Australia. Next stop Hollywood. I have just come back from Mogo on the South coast of NSW. Didn’t find much gold but this weekend I’m of to Windeyer which is central NSW where I have found some nice gold a few weeks ago. I can’t wait for your next vid. Cheers
re battery, lots of good tips from your viewers , so as a dumb mechanic my tip is when removing wiring or brackets etc, use your phone to take a pic of the layout, easy peasy nice and easy when putting things back together. cheers Mark
Good finds. Zip ties have many uses. On your battery cable loosen the nut up a couple more threads put a flat bladed screwdriver down the end and twist it. Hot rocks and a stony iron meteorite for me today. Happy hunting.
Hey Krissy, great to see you becoming more self sufficient. You can just use a screwdriver to open the terminal clamps open a little then they will pull closed when tighted. On the Gold, great stuff.
We enjoyed watching you I am Maryanne (Grahams wife) I did send you a message on messenger but I’m unsure if you have seen it keep up the great utube content you are doing great & you inspire me to keep looking for those shiny bits! Cheers Maryanne & Graham 🙏
G'day Krissy it's always nice to find a bit of gold after long hours of trash. I find that dug ground very interesting as you described it. A shear zone showing ( possibly) sulphides (yellow), & also ironstone staining (red) from water leaching around the contact zone and the bonus of country sedimentary rock (? the black with intrusions in it) are usually a pretty good indicator of an enrichment zone. The crew could be onto something pretty good there. Particularly as chunky bits, with good sized nuggets like you found recently, are known to be in that area. If a large main reef has never been worked in that area before then who knows! A little tip for that "spaghetti of wiring you were wrestling with. Carry an old bicycle & also a motorbike inner tube & if you need to pull those or any other wiring off again simply slip a length of the appropriate sized tube over each little bundle of wires to insulate them from shorting & "Gaffa" tape the end. A short "ocky" strap hooked on to them will keep them out of the way. And remember the best bushies tools are "fencing wire & Gaffa tape" 😏!
Great to see you doing some vehicle maintenance Krissy! with the battery terminals if you loosen the nut off then drive a large flat head screwdriver into it will open it up so it will fit lower on the battery terminal, when replacing batteries you can use string, tape or cable ties to hold the wires out of the way while you replace the battery, good luck!
Hi Kris - im glad you know your positive from negative as jm upgrading my Van with solar & lithium - lots of crimping connectors and soldering etc - if not sure is so easy to fry your wiring - especially fusible link on main battery etc - always carry lots of different fuses etc but glad you found some shiny 😁
Hi Krissy, such a fun adventure again this week. Suggestion: you need to be wearing safety glasses anytime you mess with batteries. They are a must have when doing dangerous jobs. Congrats on a successful swap. Was fun that you shared that with us. Best wishes as always, Deb
Gosh, I cannot imagine how difficult it has to be to continue digging through that hard soil the entire day. Suddenly the red clay soil in Alabama does not seem to be all that tough to dig anymore! Ha. Nice video Krissy. Cheers
One option on all those + wires to the battery is to put a + Bus bar, or block in. You feed all the accessories from the bus bar, which is powered from the + battery. It would reduce all the wires going to the battery. Just a thought! You handled it great!
Hello. God bless you.. I am pleased with your programs to explore for gold. I work in the field of precious stones. I am a Kurd from Syria. Good time to you.
Excellent always good to learn more self knowledge is always a good thing. As far as your air filter after removing the dusk . Hold it at a and at the sun if the light reects through it its still good. If not it's clogged and needs replacing.
Wish I was there to help with your important maintenance. I agree the more you are able to take care of yourself the better your comfort will be with less worries. Thanks for sharing this treasure hunt adventure. Best of luck with your next.
I admire you so much you are self sufficient and so knowledgeable love your channel stay safe and find plenty of that illusive colour best regards Colleen
Upvote for your mechanical know-how. Well Done. I once electrocuted myself by plugging a backless wired plug into a wall socket but forgave myself the mistake after seeing an Electrician electrocute himself by failing to check if there were 2 separate Ring Mains circuits feeding my friend's kitchen..
Also as an Auto Elec, I must say you did a good job considering what I have seen. In regards to the wiring mess under your bonnet, yup, its a mess, definitely need to get an auto elec to neaten that up. And labelling things helps too.
Tell you what krissy watching you set that fire for the night, so jealous. Your a dead set champ and should be proud of your independence. Cheers Bruce
Hi Krissy hope u r well , love the bush mechanic work you performed , well done 👏 also 4 little beauties you discovered. Film crew from Germany , that's awesome for you congratulations and stay safe out there . Cheers! ⛏😎👍👩🦯
Just watching you with the battery krissy , you can open the terminal a bit more by undoing terminal bolt and using a screwdriver to flare it open a bit more before it goes back on the battery . Loved the video as always .
Hi Krissy. If u use a flat screw driver put it in the gap on the terminal and twist it ,,it will open the gap and the terminal will slide on with a tap from the back of ur spanner or something not as heavy as a hammer 🔨 just tap it. ,,,done it's loads of times all safe. ,,,should invest in a small compressor for ur air supply to blow out air filters ect. ✌🏻❤️🇬🇧 Thanks for sharing.
Krissy, I want to comment on you being told not to hammer the battery connector. It's partially true. If you have the bolt and screw loose on the connector and the connector will not fully seat down you can lightly tap on the connector until it fully seats. Just don't hammer down too hard because you can damage the battery connector.
If you ever have to do that again, a flat blade screwdriver works great to open up the terminal before you put it on the battery! Love your content! Good luck!
All that wire: If it was me, I would have been looking for a ball of twine or a roll of tape to tie the wires back and create an opening for the battery to be eased down into. Yes, put together and electrical kit that includes a crimping tool, terminals, fuses and a few spools of wire in various sizes.
hi krissy love watching you enduring the weather for the gold search , but also should get workbook for the 4wd and fix the wiring harness, nothing worse than being stuck in the outback
Hi krissy Beautiful 4 Nuggets. Why don't find a patch mixed with Quartz rocks and hot rock's or even cap rocks. Bigger chances for the right colour hiding there. 🤞
Loved your video you have a great area to hunt can't wait to see your next video yes I seen the gold my favorite parts are when your showing the areas and yes your fun to listen to but the flys are starting to bother me lol thanks Krissy for your time
Well I had several suggestions, but I read through the comments and they pretty much covered them all, and it seems the fly's have an interest in your gold too, they never fail to check them out when sitting in your palm, perhaps there considering a heist! keep an eye on them and make a note of distinguishing features! just in case! Anyway im glad to see that your still finding gold, Cheers Krissy!
As long as you disconnect the negative cable first your good, nothing will short out and spark. It’s interesting the vehicle has a separate battery for the starter. Yes change the filter. Do yourself a favor and get a battery operated air compressor so you can blow out the air cleaner. They make them for filling tires also.
Krissy hope we soon get to see inside of the horse trailer, I would never think of using it. Please stay safe.🙏🏻🙏🏻💖🇦🇺Pinjarra just below Perth is where I live..
I love your REAL videos. Not fake, no nonsense, just real gold prospecting. Thank you so much for such wonderful videos.

Try your hairdryer. That's. What I use. Works great particularly on yhat size of filter.
Hey Krissy, a small bit of advice, You should blow the air filter from inside out. If you blow from outside in, you will block the air filter. Keep up the great work!👍
Also you need to blow air from the inside out, not the other way. When it's running, the air is being sucked into the middle of the filter, and the dust accumulates on the outside. You need to blow air from the inside to remove the dust.
Use a shop -vac on the floor of your truck and trailer to see how much fine gold is there

Sounds like you know the geology of this area well 👍🏻
It’s got a lot if potential in the surrounding I think but hard walking and difficult detecting.
Hi Krissy. Great prospecting vid. Cruisers are awesome vehicles to own and drive but sometimes a little hard to work on with the height.
Great to see you doing some vehicle maintenance Krissy! with the battery terminals if you loosen the nut off then drive a large flat head screwdriver into it will open it up so it will fit lower on the battery terminal, when replacing batteries you can use string, tape or cable ties to hold the wires out of the way while you replace the battery, good luck!

Thanks, Jay 👍🏻
Great video krissy 👍🍺
LUV ur Gold Nail colouring..
I admire you so much you are self sufficient and so knowledgeable love your channel stay safe and find plenty of that illusive colour best regards Colleen
Upvote for your mechanical know-how. Well Done. I once electrocuted myself by plugging a backless wired plug into a wall socket but forgave myself the mistake after seeing an Electrician electrocute himself by failing to check if there were 2 separate Ring Mains circuits feeding my friend's kitchen..
Duct tape is your friend and can be used in so many ways, cheap and a must have in any toolbox.
Well done Krissy on yr achievement on batteries good to see you tackle something you knew nothing about. Keep up the good work ⛏️⛏️
Also as an Auto Elec, I must say you did a good job considering what I have seen.
In regards to the wiring mess under your bonnet, yup, its a mess, definitely need to get an auto elec to neaten that up. And labelling things helps too.
Thanks for your feedback, it’ll be something to take care of down the track 👍🏻
Tell you what krissy watching you set that fire for the night, so jealous. Your a dead set champ and should be proud of your independence. Cheers Bruce
Hi Krissy hope u r well , love the bush mechanic work you performed , well done 👏 also 4 little beauties you discovered. Film crew from Germany , that's awesome for you congratulations and stay safe out there . Cheers! ⛏😎👍👩🦯
Just checking in so will watch what you are doing today❤️🥰
Just watching you with the battery krissy , you can open the terminal a bit more by undoing terminal bolt and using a screwdriver to flare it open a bit more before it goes back on the battery . Loved the video as always .
definitely a neat solar setup.
Hi Krissy. If u use a flat screw driver put it in the gap on the terminal and twist it ,,it will open the gap and the terminal will slide on with a tap from the back of ur spanner or something not as heavy as a hammer 🔨 just tap it. ,,,done it's loads of times all safe. ,,,should invest in a small compressor for ur air supply to blow out air filters ect. ✌🏻❤️🇬🇧 Thanks for sharing.
Krissy,
I want to comment on you being told not to hammer the battery connector. It's partially true. If you have the bolt and screw loose on the connector and the connector will not fully seat down you can lightly tap on the connector until it fully seats. Just don't hammer down too hard because you can damage the battery connector.
i gave you a hand as best i could . i clapped when you got the battery in.
Thanks for helping out 😁
lol
Good work on your car. Tip: Take a photo of your wires before you start disconnecting them.
If you ever have to do that again, a flat blade screwdriver works great to open up the terminal before you put it on the battery! Love your content! Good luck!
hi Krissy you can use a flat screw driver to open the battery terminal.
All that wire: If it was me, I would have been looking for a ball of twine or a roll of tape to tie the wires back and create an opening for the battery to be eased down into. Yes, put together and electrical kit that includes a crimping tool, terminals, fuses and a few spools of wire in various sizes.
Like your videos. You are very good at finding gold but your mechanic skills ? Keep living the dream
hi krissy love watching you enduring the weather for the gold search , but also should get workbook for the 4wd and fix the wiring harness, nothing worse than being stuck in the outback
Hi krissy
Beautiful 4 Nuggets.
Why don't find a patch mixed with Quartz rocks and hot rock's or even cap rocks.
Bigger chances for the right colour hiding there. 🤞
Loved your video you have a great area to hunt can't wait to see your next video yes I seen the gold my favorite parts are when your showing the areas and yes your fun to listen to but the flys are starting to bother me lol thanks Krissy for your time
Well I had several suggestions, but I read through the comments and they pretty much covered them all, and it seems the fly's have an interest in your gold too, they never fail to check them out when sitting in your palm, perhaps there considering a heist! keep an eye on them and make a note of distinguishing features! just in case! Anyway im glad to see that your still finding gold, Cheers Krissy!
Thanks for sharing
As long as you disconnect the negative cable first your good, nothing will short out and spark. It’s interesting the vehicle has a separate battery for the starter. Yes change the filter. Do yourself a favor and get a battery operated air compressor so you can blow out the air cleaner. They make them for filling tires also.
Ur one brave gall. I wish u all the gold u can find that u may be happy. U already no ur Loved.
Krissy hope we soon get to see inside of the horse trailer, I would never think of using it. Please stay safe.🙏🏻🙏🏻💖🇦🇺Pinjarra just below Perth is where I live..
This is the link to a video where I've shown the inside: ua-cam.com/video/vaR4WEr28J0/v-deo.html
The washer needs to go on top, all of the stuff you connect should touch the battery terminal and each other for a good connection.
