@@chadsimmons6347 Thanks for the offer mate, it's very kind of you. I should be fine with the GM for now as it breaks apart and packs well in my bag. I am getting a pinpointed soon (my birthday) so I should be able to level up the detecting game then. Thanks
Just when I thought your films couldn't possibly get any better or more interesting, you deliver in spaces Rob. Been up the Pieman myself in a Hobie Kayak and it's a magical place. The research and effort you put into making your films is greatly appreciated. Outstanding film - well done.
That was soooo good Rob . I really loved the music too… everything was so professional and it was so exciting seeing that gold mine cutting into the hill. Yup think it saw a thylacine at some stage. Can’t wait for your next expedition to this cool area. Keep up the good work 👍🏽🎉
It's amazing how nature dissolves all traces in such a small time frame. I'm loving this type of content The Tasmanian bush reminds me of home here in New Zealand, I definitely want to visit the tassie west
That thing we used to call a brush hook in the days when we had to clear surveyor lines of sight. You have a talent for this, young man. Thanks for your skills, hard work and dedication.
What fun! You give us the source of questions to be pondered as we watch your endeavors and experience the beautiful countryside thousands of miles away. Makes us want to be there. Can't wait for the follow up. Cheers!
Epic mate having searched the same places after reading the same articles and spending years down there enjoying this incredible place you have captured and told the story better than anyone could ,well done curly cheers
My partner and I camped (2 man hiking tent) at Corinna 13 yrs ago, hiked the area and canoed the Pieman...we did it again 2 years ago...! Magic historic location of Australia...❤️ Thanks Rob for the detailed history lesson....👍🏼👍🏼
This is the most interesting suspenseful video of yours I have watched yet. I get what you mean about information online lacking. Just went to hillshade grey and dam that is frustratingly right on the edge. I cant wait to see the followup.
Keep up the great work. Thanks for the history that goes with your adventures. Tasmania is one beautiful place. Untouched undeveloped. As it should. Be leave it as natural for the next generation
Thanks for the long videos mate. i actually watched it over 2 sittings and it was easy to fall back into where i had left off. Appreciate the effort to fit everything in!.
Rob, this is wonderfully researched an you spin the story together well. I love it and also feel frustrated that you didn't find the tunnel. Makes me want to go up there and find it. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into finding Tassies lost history.
One of the best yet only second to your search and eventual discovery for the John Stannard gravesite which will always be hard to beat owning to how many attempts to made to achieve that and what it signified to relocate this young man’s grave
Forrest Bathing and Fitness. You are so lucky and incredibly inspiring 😊 love watching your videos and all the research that you do before each of your treks, and all the excellent preparations that you do, before each particular video. Enjoyed watching your journey. Big thank you! Was genuinely impressed with all the rough quartz’s that you found and how a trail just opened up as you go. 👏✨ hey you need a Handheld metal detector easier to carry along with your long stick one. You do use. Understand that it takes time to build up equipment. You are a great videographer 🎉 😊
Another magnificent adventure complimented by your production skills….I just know that you will continue with research and I so look forward to your next video on this topic….thanks for sharing Rob.
Dunno about everyone else, but this was like a mysterious story, was on edge of seat hoping you'd find something! Great effort! I bet you're going to reassess and come back for a repeat journey, you know you have to! Could be called Parsons Range?
Awesome video this one, we love that area, have kayaked downstream of Corinna several times, but next want to head upstream, with our motor equipped kayak, and this video has definitely made us want to get back very soon, heck maybe this coming weekend 😀. West coast mining history is really interesting, so much to explore and discover, these are our favourite of your adventures, bloody brilliant stuff mate
Once again bro another outstanding informative incredible film. We all love watching your stuff and can’t wait to get over to Tasmania on the 20th of this month and who knows if we’re lucky enough we may bump into you no jokes. My daughter keeps saying to me daddy, do you think it would bump into our Tasmanian mate? You’re an inspiration. Keep up the awesome work.
Your scyth is a slash hook, brush hook or bill hook. Went by a few names. Had a long straight handle. Great snake dispatcher! Used on scrub. Bracken fern and blackberries and the like. Love the explore.
Old fern hook they was a great tool for the ferns great vid buddy happy new year to your family from south of tassie 👌👍 ur a little Smartie rob you never give up you was close and yes you did open a can of worms 🪱
Well done Rob, that wasn’t a scythe though, it’s what the old bushies called a fern hook and was a great tool for barking smaller logs. Don’t know if it helps but in the early 80s there was a Slater family in Triabunna that had the service station. Charley
3:24 and the biggest smile comes over me, I need hot cuppa tea to continue this mission. Let's Go! 10:18That Black Cockatoo call ♥ (My favorite bird call) Love the landscape, the nature. Thanks
Great video Those old shotgun shells were originally paper ones with the pressed tin bottom with the primer in the base! If the primer hasn’t got a indent in it That would mean it was never fired. But the rest has rotted away👍🏼 good small fines
Hey Rob, i went to family search and came across John Slater married a Hariett Henshell. MARRIED in Lauceston 1851. 1 child born to these 2 was William born 1862 died 1916 at Branxholme. WILL had a brother, Albert Charles, born 1864 died 1935 Launceston. Its a long shot. There were other kids too. Good luck
How did you go with National Parks Rob and the licence, I ask as we seem to be getting strong laws in place here in Qld that came into effect at the end of last year with drones and filming.
Tbh I kinda understand where they're coming from when it comes from drones. RidingWithTom (I think it was him anyway) had a video of him going about his riding last year and he lost a drone in the bush and couldn't find it again. More and more people are buying cheap shit from Temu that tote the ability to follow you with object avoidance, that are just going to fly into trees and the dickhead tourists aren't going to bother to retrieve them.
I do all of my drone filming on forestry managed land where I have permits to fly. As for Parks and Wildlife, I declined their invitation for a filming permit which would instantly stop me walking off track, showing any tracks that are not hand-picked by them and setting up camp in areas that are not designated wooden platforms made by them. Not to mention all for the low price of $440. The public does not need to pay to film on public land. Never have, never will.
@Rob.Parsons 100% agree It is our parks and we are just showing the beauty of them. I was surprised to see the new laws in qld come into effect as I had heard nothing about them or had the local bushwalking clubs. Stupid thing is like you have pointed out in a previous video that instagram brings more idiots into the bush to get that perfect selfie. We have had 2 deaths up here in the last few weeks with them following Alltrails and trying to get that perfect selfie resulting in falling off waterfalls. Such a waste of life 😪 On a side note I have started trail running this year with the goal of hopefully getting fit enough in a few years to head down your way and do the GoneNuts101.
@@HRRRRRDRRRRR Being in the industry, that's exactly why they're being legislated. Rangers turn up a not-insignificant number of these things weekly. Add Li ion batteries and you're basically dropping incendiary bombs on time delay all over our national parks. I'm sure no one has it out for Rob or other professional videographers, but how or where do you draw a line other than right at the start?
Yes thank you for taking us on that Adventure it was really interesting I don't know did those bottles look really old cuz they were buried pretty good
Used one of those scythes a lot when I used to go out with the London conservation volunteers... we called it an Irish Slasher (because it has a curved blade). Great for clearing brush... the English Slasher had a straight blade, we never did work out what that one was for!!
Phenomenal watching experience well played ▶️- as for the search for that adit just from my experience exploring mines if it was a crosscut exploratory drive ; if I was out there looking at the geology & terrain and where that pit was I'd be more inclined to be a little lower on the hillside , I'd round the hill on each elevation in 10m incriminate
Hey legends thanks so much for tuning in. Yep, It's a long edit, but stick around I think you'll enjoy this one!
if i sent you a high quality detector?,,Im not an idiot,,not a scammer,,i see ambition, building a good reputation!
Hallo Rob.
Kannst du deutsche oder russischen Sprache anschalten.
Leider englische Sprache verstehe ich nicht.
Danke.

Just what the Dr ordered. Thanks mate for taking us on this adventure.
Feel free to do more of this content Rob, it’s a shed load more interesting than sniping
It is but its bloody hard work.
Amazed how a long videos seem so short when you get into the crust of it, Thanks Rob
Your film making abilities are just getting better and better!
Thank you for taking us along on another fantastic adventure.
Love this content ,
Can’t help thinking that national parks have lost out with their attitude to UA-camrs
That was soooo good Rob . I really loved the music too… everything was so professional and it was so exciting seeing that gold mine cutting into the hill. Yup think it saw a thylacine at some stage. Can’t wait for your next expedition to this cool area. Keep up the good work 👍🏽🎉
Amazing video Rob. Enjoyed every minute - we were on the edge of our seats looking for the tunnel. So interesting - well done 👍🤗
It's amazing how nature dissolves all traces in such a small time frame.

The Tasmanian bush reminds me of home here in New Zealand, I definitely want to visit the tassie west
I lived in NZ for 9 years and this is why I love Tassie so much 😊
Our neighbourhood. Peace and tranquility. Thanks Rob. Love to your beautiful family too. X❤
Well done Rob on another well researched historical presentation. Hitting your straps 👍
It's time for Rob and you know what to do folks, just inhale and relax✨️
That thing we used to call a brush hook in the days when we had to clear surveyor lines of sight. You have a talent for this, young man. Thanks for your skills, hard work and dedication.
Again a little masterpiece from Mr. Parson. Another adventure. Looking forward to your next expedition
Watching from Central Florida Gulf coast. A 117 minute video. Great surprise for Sunday morning.
Thanks.
What fun! You give us the source of questions to be pondered as we watch your endeavors and experience the beautiful countryside thousands of miles away. Makes us want to be there. Can't wait for the follow up. Cheers!

Got a long haul flight tomorrow and can’t wait to watch this. Thanks Rob!
Another brilliant video rob awesome stuff great to see keep it coming 😎👌
This is the most interesting suspenseful video of yours I have watched yet. I get what you mean about information online lacking. Just went to hillshade grey and dam that is frustratingly right on the edge. I cant wait to see the followup.
Haha I know, if only the lidar went a few hundred meters across. I think I’ll find it before then.
Keep up the great work. Thanks for the history that goes with your adventures. Tasmania is one beautiful place. Untouched undeveloped. As it should. Be leave it as natural for the next generation
Epic quest Rob SO fantastic! Thank you. Watching this right now from my beachfront camp in SEQ. Marvellous!!!
Thanks for the long videos mate. i actually watched it over 2 sittings and it was easy to fall back into where i had left off. Appreciate the effort to fit everything in!.
Brilliant video Rob, really enjoyed every second, thanks so much 👏👏
Rob, this is wonderfully researched an you spin the story together well. I love it and also feel frustrated that you didn't find the tunnel. Makes me want to go up there and find it. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into finding Tassies lost history.
Just brings history to life with his magnificent filming and story telling...
Awesome video Rob, love these historical searches, looking forward to more 👍
Did you leave that scythe Rob?, it would be a great project getting it cleaned up and would make a nice museum piece.
Absolutely fantastic. Loved the research and effort you go to for this one. Really love the tassie history. Well done mate. Thankyou.
Top flick mate.
Well done my man.
What a grouse discovery.
Absolute pleasure to watch.
Onya
Great history and vid. Well done for not giving up finding the history.
Another great video Rob, very interesting history and it's great you are identifing lost places and putting them back on the map
One of the best yet only second to your search and eventual discovery for the John Stannard gravesite which will always be hard to beat owning to how many attempts to made to achieve that and what it signified to relocate this young man’s grave

Love the narration just giving more Tassie history, really enjoy this Thanks Rob
Thank you soooo much for showing us the places and stories of your island. Great video.
That was amazing! Anticipating more discoveries in the next expedition, we'll done. 👍
Great mystery and adventure, can't wait for your return!
Delightful. I almost didn’t watch it, because of the length of the video, but I’m glad I did.
Awesome job cobber
Fantastic research and follow up👊

really interesting thank you for another great adventure..and can I say I love the harp music!
Good stuff, as per usual.
You do great research and tell a riveting story.
The slash hook is a great find. Essential tool for a track cutter or chainman. We used them all the time for cutting lines for boundary surveying.
Always find it a shame the buildings seem to never survive, thanks for your vids Rob.
The mapping and surveying is amazing. Can’t beat recorded history .😊
Bloody awesome mate loved it can’t wait for the next one
Awesome video mate, good luck getting more info if it’s out there 💪🏽
Your scyth is a slash hook, brush hook or bill hook. Went by a few names. Had a long straight handle. Great snake dispatcher! Used on scrub. Bracken fern and blackberries and the like. Love the explore.
Your video's just keep getting better ...
I'm thinking that a tunnel would have a pad at the entrance , created by the material being removed ...
Old fern hook they was a great tool for the ferns great vid buddy happy new year to your family from south of tassie 👌👍 ur a little Smartie rob you never give up you was close and yes you did open a can of worms 🪱
Really great film, mate. Well done.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, very interesting.
Thank you from NZ
A great video Rob, well done. 👍

Another great eposide love the history of our little island
Love this type of content.
Loved this one. Thanks Rob. 👌🏻
Lovely Job Rob, i am sure you will find the tunnel at some stage this year. Keep up the good work that you deliver to us. All the best for 2025.
Another amazing adventure. Cheers mate.
Another banger of an adventure. Cheers!

Please tell me your gonna put a trail cam
In that potential thylacine den
Es una hermosa vista gracias por compartir este hermoso lugar 🎉🎉🎉
The tool u found at time stamp 23.29 is a slash hook used for cutting tracks through bush I still have one
i call it a brush hook, have a collection including different sizes and curves as well as offset.
@Evan-e6e slash hook or brush hook it same thing n does same job good to see people still have them
