    Hi Chris I've posted you a little present in appreciation of the paydirt sample I won in your Patreon giveaway. I've recovered 1.15g of mostly very fine gold so far and there's a little more to recover yet. I'd noticed your "stampy" could do with an upgrade so I've made another one for you.
    Thanks for all your videos.

    though I had some problem with sea water It also ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

    Hell yeah you should go back Chris and you would even if someone said not to in the comments lol I noticed that the amount of gold in the pan is way better than most of the pans you would get in the creek. What is the biggest piece of gold ever found by hard rock mining if any do you know by chance? Well I am looking forward to you hitting this area again mate so have a great week.

    Hello Chris. I have enjoyed your content. I went with a friend metal detecting twice to the central
    Victorian Gold fields between Bendigo & Ballarat aria, where we went & detected found tons of crap.
    When we were tired we looked at every thing the Old timers left for us to see very interesting.
    We went to the place & spot where Australia's largest nugget was found, It started to rain so
    we travelled a short distance to the town of Donnelly where we visited the Miners museum.
    Where we had an interesting tour by an old timer, I am 82. As we toured the wonderful exabits,
    we came to the wonderful FIREARMS display where were told, That if any person walking or snooping
    around the diggings {who was not singing or calling out their name or who they wanted to visit }
    the shotgun was discharged.
    The display of shotguns & pistoles from 150 years+ are great,
    Seeing all this old wonderful gunsmithing, I never asked how many people were shot or killed.
    I asked" How many weddings did the guns participated in".
    The place erupted in laughter.
    So now you know why you find lead in the Victoria gold fields.
    I love your videos & our wonderful country, I live in NEWCASTLE nsw.
    The Bakery = Pie shop close by is not to be missed.
    ENJOY LIFE.

    Well if it’s down hill set up a zip line to take the gold closer to the truck you can tie it to a tree and adjust the tension so it doesn’t slam and spill gravity is your friend mate. As for the vein they always say the deeper it goes the better it gets here’s hoping you hit actual gold veins deeper great video with much enthusiasm (for a damn good reason lol) AUSOME looking species and sharp reefy pieces thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

      @@RICDirector you raise the lower end high enough that the weight of the bucket 50-75 lbs almost touched the ground when it comes to rest if you can’t raise it high enough use a tag line (line attached to the bucket) to control the decent . 1/8 th inch (3.18 mm) steel line works well with a pulley and is fairly cheap and he could put a vid on his spud engineering channel on the build 🤩😬 (more content for us yaaay)

    Looks like a very promising site you found there, a must go back area. Follow the line, I would also sugest to take the brown weathered residual earth around the rotten vein for panning, should be fine gold it it. I´m very curious to see how the vein will give you more gold. Looks like a very high ammount of gold per ton. All the best and have fun in that new spot.
