I Found BLACK GOLD Near An Old Puddler!

- I wonder how many people have thrown this type of gold away thinking it was just rubbish.. I know I was close to throwing it until I cracked a bit off the end and saw the shimmer of gold! This was a 3 day solo gold adventure in the Victorian Golden Triangle. Check out my Patreon, link below.

Thanks for taking us along mate, ya gotcha a new strain of gold there, lol
Not a worry mate, I believe it's just a manganese oxide coating after doing some research.
A wonderful result, Lee. Deliberated the lesser travelled paths, and wandered into the strange gold! Would that black coating be Manganese? If you put a torch to the black coating it may turn purple, used for painting on ceramics, the colour looks different from the fired result, or take it to a university lab for X-ray spectroscopy with XRF gun or a nearer jeweller might have one, would tell the purity of the gold also, then to a trusted mining company for reward for this info, once you've finished the patch yourself?! The "type" could be named "Savage Gold"! Cheers, Gabi of Narre Warren.🤙
Thanks, Gabi. I believe you're right from the research I've done it's manganese oxide, I think.. it does look a little off black, in some light that's for sure. Cheers Lee.
@@SavageProspecting Cool! Thanks, Lee. Guessing you're not going to be glazing any fired pottery, although it would make ace roof tiles I'd imagine. Bloody odd it would be coating the gold as co-habiting metal, but not trapped in host quartz, or Schwartz, as I've been calling it lately, nutter. May the Schwartz be with you! 😆
@gabivalla6279 haha I don't think so mate, it is very odd but very cool. I love finding odd or different pieces of gold keeps it exciting👌. Cheers Lee.
How good mate, peace n quiet, wandering is the way mate, love ya work buddy 👍
Unreal mate🍻
Well done Lee and thanks for posting.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Hope you enjoyed🍻
Thanks for sharing another great adventure Lee. The trip started off slowly but ended well. You got some nice pieces of gold but I'm very interested in the black coating on the gold, never seen that before. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
Thanks Josip, I'm glad you enjoyed mate. I believe the coating was manganese oxide from my little amount of research into it. I currently have them in acid, it will be interesting to see how they come up. Cheers 🍻
Probably a manganese/iron oxide mixture on the gold. Thanks for sharing
Nice job Lee. Black gold , I thought you may have struck oil! 😂 Ha ha, but seriously maybe the gold was treated in some way? Cyanide ? Mercury? Great video again , cheers bloke. Catch ya
Cheers mate it's a manganese coating, naturally occurring👍
Can be hard at time finding nothing but it all changes when you find it again. Cheers Lee.
You definitely start playing mind games with yourself lol. But it will always come at some point👌
Good job mate, glad day 3 worked out
Thanks mate, so am I. She was a slow few days, seeing that first piece of yellow was magical!
i was just there today inglewood near a puddler right and was digging 3 feet down but no gold well done man im proud of people finding gold. ill take you to a spot one day if you like i think no one been there. cheers Matthew
Nice mate but unfortunate not to get gold. Hopefully your next trip is more successful👍
Nice work mate, slow start but all good in the end, well done on the gold. Cheers Pete
Thanks Pete, it was definitely a slow start that trip! Cheers mate.
Man I was holding my breath while you chunked that log on the fire. Here in the US some pretty nasty creatures live in logs and will fall out and onto or near your feet when moving a log. And even if they don't harm you just the sight of them will give ya a heart attack ..lol. Those lil nuggets should clean up nice. Cool finds there brother.
Haha oh we also have some nasty creatures that want to kill you here as well. After a few beers all that worry goes out the window mate🤣. Thanks heaps mate🍻
What's dogs name?
Hard work this time of year - congrats of the gold
Thanks mate, luckily it wasn't too hot those days but I still get a good sweat up that's for sure.
HCL. The best acid. Or swimming pool acid.
Thanks for the look
Nice work there Lee, turned out great in the end, also had the same rock coated gold at Tib but our's was a grey hard material same like your's funny stuff no wonder the old guys missed it..
Thanks Paul, lucky for that 3rd day. It ended up being a manganese coating. I'm glad I didn't throw it away.
That's the go mate nice work 👍 I'm just home from a 10k walk with nothing to show but that's prospecting sometimes 😂 🍻
Damn mate, that's a long day, and getting skunked bloody hurts after putting in all that effort. But it happens hey.
Well done Lee. Those black bits were interesting. Could have easily been thrown away. Good spot. Take care mate 😁👍
Cheers mate, 💯.
Good work mate. I’ve had a lot of donut 🍩 days like that. Just did a three hour drive to Clermont, did four hours detecting for a pocket full of junk. Woke up this morning with the rain set in for next two days. Drive back to Mackay with a pocket full of donuts 😤
Thanks Neil, it certainly happens but it hurts a lot more when the rain sets in and doesn't allow you to even detect😔
I had a feeling that you were going to find it congratulations you are the best and I will be watching you because I am very happy for you❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😢
Bro your the best, I appreciate that it will always happen it's just a matter of time.. sometimes it takes 5 minutes sometimes it takes days.
Nice Lee,good nugget count buddy,what do you think is encrusting those dark ones? Thanks Lee,cool video.
Thanks mate I believe it's manganese oxide but I could be wrong.
Ray from BC Canada
Your living my dream mate
I'm stuck finding my gold...panning ( have never covered gas money )
And beach detecting
( have done really good there....biggest was 11 grams 14k chain and a 18 k 5gram yellow and white gold native artist ring....found the owner on that one and was able to return it )...one day while I can I would love to nugget hunt out there bucket lister till then you and a few of your utube friends let me soak up knowledge
Thanks
G'day Ray, you can get cool items while beach detecting, that's for sure.
Good job, but I still think you're driving on the wrong side of the vehicle Lol
Haha thanks mate, I'm definitely on the the right side of the car.
At first it's yeah and then would you get deeper😂🎉 it's oh yeah🎉😂 then when you get deeper😂 you say oh my goodness😂 then when you get deeper you say yeehaw😂 could it be as big as my wife's new car🎉😂😂 I am so happy for you on what you do it is exciting for us to watch you do what you do😅 I love it when you cook steak and chicken😮 and then you way up the gold thank you for another good video
Haha thanks bro, unfortunately not that big but hopefully one day with any luck👌. Still pulling any gold out is much better than rubbish. Cheers🍻
learnt that black stuff is worth checking properly thanks
That was a great scratch in the bush. Love the videos. Good luck and stay safe
Thanks so much Shanna I appreciate it😊
Hi Lee, another great video. The black coating happens sometimes. There are stories of the old days where miners tossed this away. Glad you did not. Cheers.
Thanks so much, apparently a manganese oxide coating. Cheers Lee.
@@SavageProspecting In the Cariboo a mine found black coloured gold, some with big nuggets. Went into the tailings pile for a couple of seasons. Some pieces covered in the same stuff you found were up to 5 ounces so says the tale. Good going Lee.
Well done! Awesome video!!
Thanks so much😊
Great video mate. 😮
Thanks John, I hope your well mate. Cheers🍻
Nice work. Those zero days hurt the soul!
Two sleeps lad ;)
Cheers mate, they hurt so much! Anger levels go through the roof lol. I can't bloody wait!!
Awesome session bloke
Thanks Terry😊
Third time's a charm! 😊
Always enjoy your videos
Thanks so much, I appreciate it😊
Interesting and good. Tks mate
Thanks Garry😊
So what the heck was the coating? Never seen anything like that
I believe it manganese oxide, but I could be wrong.
Well done Lee. Iet us know what the black muck is. Have seen puddlers in Vic not nsw. Great vid .
Cheers mate. It is a manganese oxide coating.
The 1st one looks like someone's ripped out rotten tooth
It does man, I thought it looked like a tooth as well when I saw it👍
Just wondering what metal detector are you using?🤔
That one's the minelab GPX6000👍
Cool man.
Thanks Peter🤜🤛
Any plans for an Easter prospect
I'm pretty busy with family over Easter mate, so probably not unfortunately.
Please tell me your not digging up the puddler sight?
Negative, I'm well aware of the rules👍
@SavageProspecting awesome stuff mate. Please understand I wasn't accusing you of anything.
@@I.Live4oldcars.prospecting appreciate it mate, cheers🍻
