- We are at one of our favourite gold mining sites in New Zealand and we hit it big again! New floods had exposed more Bedrock and with the bedrock came more Gold Nuggets, a mixture of panning, metal detecting and crevicing yieled one of our better hauls to date!
I hope you enjoy this trip and thanks for watching!

That is some awesome gold guys👌🏻 Congrats on hitting 2k subs🥳🍻Well deserved⛏🏴
Great videos guys, keep up the digging, look forward for the next episode.
Thanks so much bro! We will keep digging and more videos coming soon :).
Love how you go through everything you take with you, and love that you have an EPIRB in there. After Chris' (VoGus' ) experience, I sure wouldnt be out there without one....
Cheers guys! Yeah thought we would do it for this video as it’s such a long one. Yeah it’s definitely handy to have especially when walking hours up big streams, and not down playing his experience at all it was definitely a full on one, we have had a couple far more dangerous situations again, caught up in flash floods and we’re glad we had it there to bunk out if it got super bad (which it did but we took the risk instead) the reason we don’t have footage for one of them is the water was so bad it destroyed my water resistant phone through my waterproof jacket so couldn’t salvage the footage. Even then we didn’t use the Epirb but if it go any worse and got stuck up there like Chris may have it would have been a saviour. It’s very handy to have. Cheers
Oh yeah, that’s a good couple days brother. Great job as well.
Spectacular indeed, well done Sluicers. Now that's chunky gold.✌️😎
Thanks a heap bro! We were stoked some great chunky gold for sure!
Hahaha, love the shovel definition
Awesome 😎 video hopefully the weather starts to improve for yous over the next few months, it's been a little crazy this winter
Cheers thanks a lot! Yeah fingers crossed it’s a great spring and summer! We were lucky this weekend was perfect!
Awesome brother congrats on the 2k subs.
Thanks so much bro! We are stoked :).
great video. Im looking into indulging in this hobby, Where would you suggest going to for getting gear, mainly beginner stuff like the pans and what not?
Thanks heaps bro. DredgeNZ would be your best place to go here in NZ they have all your prospecting gear, if you put “The Sluicers” in your order notes in the checkout as well they will send you a bonus sample vial. But yeah DredgeNZ is probably your best bet here in Nz, you can also get some gear from most local outdoor shops
Cool stuff
nice one nice to see alot of the good stuff I just me and my dad were luckyer as we have only found little specs of gold and no nugets even though we have a sluce box
Got my sub! Great raw video and great gold.
Thanks so much, really appreciate the support! Yeah it was an epic haul and we can’t wait to get back there!
Liked, shared and commented
24:46 shines blue crystal pocket😵💫
Cool
Hopefully you enjoy the video when it launches :).
Awesome vid. Subscribed. You need to get some long nose tweezers to pull those little nuggies out easier. Are you allowed to use bait pumps in nz to clean out those deep crevices better. Keep up the good work. ✌👌
Thanks so much bro! Yeah tweezers would really help, hopefully we have some for next trip! At this location sadly not, you need a permit (a very pricy strict one) to use anything motorised sadly.
that was awesome !!!can I see more
Thanks a lot! Yep we have plenty more videos of this site up on the channel, I can send you some links if you like or you should be able to find them up on our channel page.
Congrats to 2K going strong!! awesome Video guys!! Be safe!!
Cheers Alex
little update, just three months on, already at 5K! well done guys!!
I love these longer videos, watching the whole process is so cool. Never seen anyone do this before, looks like heaps of fun 🙂
Thanks heaps bro! It’s such an awesome thing to do and I’m glad your enjoying the videos :)!
@@TheSluicers it makes me want to go out in the nature near me and see what I can find
The amounts are starting to add up Dillon.Well done
Thanks a heap bro! Yeah for probably only the 4th time this trip was actually a profit 😂.
Where in the south Island is this??
Random question: what model wristwatch was that? Thanks!
This one is I believe a Fenix6xpro I got it for my birthday believe it’s a top of the line one designed for adventuring up bush, being designed waterproof to 200ft, totally unbreakable and long battery life and all the features you need to track your adventures.
@@TheSluicers Thanks! The reason I asked is because - although it was only visible for a moment - it was highly readable. That’s exactly what I want, too.
Great video. Your Pop really dialled in the food service…
How do you like the equinox 800 for small gold
I really like it, used to hate it but it’s just because it had a lot more of a learning curve then the monster, it does just as well if not better then the monster, their sensitivity is the same but the equinox had clearer targets and doesn’t make noise when bumped like the monster
@@TheSluicers that made the decision a lot easier thank you
Keep your hands behind your back, looks like you are conducting something
Greeting team. Probably the 1000th time you have been asked this .... however..... Detectors?, for casual fossicking, have a Minelab 22 less than impressed :( :( options? Best wishes from the North Isalnd
Hi there, no worries happy to answer any questions. The go find 22/44 series are really kids toys sadly and outside of playgrounds and beaches aren’t much use. If it’s for just treasure hunting and not for gold nuggets I would suggest a Vanquish340/440/540 or a Nokta Makro Lefend, if it’s for gold nuggets as well an Equinox900 or 800 would be your best bet. Cheers
@@TheSluicers cheers for that, heading to south in 10 days, will have a look at an upgrade! Cheers team, may see you stream side, scratching in the mud :)
Is this a public area
I will say that it’s not a private claim 👍👍. The exact location is only available on Patreon though as we just don’t want to cause a gold rush to the site haha.
Great trip indeed enjoy 😊
Peice a gawld
If you see the length of ANY youtube video, you can see people aim for the shortest timed videos first. So as a piece of advice, cut the action into under 30 minutes and you will have a ton of more viewers.
That seems to be the case with some videos but I’ll be honest this longer one and our other longer videos have been some of our most successful ever, as the watch time is longer so UA-cam then suggests it more.
@@TheSluicers I do hate to longer ones. You can tell like in cooking recipes. They just babble for longer screen time yet they don't know they're ruining their chances of being watched.
Way too long of a video but other than it that was a good watch.
The intro was ok but what's with the hand. I felt like you were slapping me in the face the whole time. Liked the content but that damn hand!
Don't speak to your audience as if they have never done it before and all new. Yes anybody new is going to be watching all the videos but your audience is probably 90% experienced. What we watch them for is so see what others get and where, talk about why you decided to test a spot and show the situation. Sure say I like this tool or that and find it very useful.
What I picked up on was you refer to small things as wee things, witch would suggest Scottish ancestry or a Scottish population where your from?
You have a point however after running this channel for years, meeting up with dozens of followers reading tens of thousands of comments and looking at all the analytics I think you will find it’s the opposite and 90% of viewers watching have little-no real prospecting experience. I like to try do them in a way that’s enjoyable for everyone. I have a bit of Scottish ancestry and quite a bit of Irish ancestry, but mostly just would consider ourselves Kiwis.
He’s from New Zealand and we call little things WEE! He’s doing a brilliant job. I have no idea how to find Gold, what to take and what to do! This was really helpful. How do people learn if you do not teach them. Not everyone has experience and that is why I watched this video. Maybe you shouldn’t be so critical and act like you know it all! If you did you would know this kid is from New Zealand and we call things WEE here because we are from Scottish decent! !!!!! Good job on the video mate it was really helpful for me thank you ❤
What an arrogant comment. Let others make and do videos the way they choose. Stick to your own thing if its not for you. Your a tossa
And just an observation. You have 60 + videos and 7 massive subscribers. So maybe you should look into what you aren't doing right.
lol gold doesn't exist, it's all fools gold and you've been tricked into thinking it's real gold which doesn't exist.
😂 If the element Au is gold, then this is all gold, has the correct density, lustre and goes off under the metal detector all of those things fools gold those not have.
@@TheSluicers that's why they call it fool's gold, it fools the metal dectector and you haha.
@@godrilla5549 Its definitely not fools gold, fools gold doesn't fool the metal detector, and the main indicator is its not this dense, only gold is this heavy and this is an area known for gold in the past.
@@TheSluicers perhaps i am the one who has been fooled.
