Im noticing a fair bit of negitive comments on here. I for one feel that the overall quality of these videos are much stronger reguardless. The fact that Chris here is spending his time and money on creating something for the entertainment of others is one thing but you can tell when comes from the heart. Not just anybody can, or is willing to do even just that. Not to mention how difficult it is to stitch multiple camera footage (among other things) together. He has overcome a lot in reguards to film production, AND personal growth that got him to where he is. If there is something you feel needs your opinion, at the very least why not articulate it in a way that is constructive to his production.. After all you are here to watch arent you? We do this for you all so lets help eachother grow.✌
Thanks.
They are not negative comments Pauly, but constructive feedback to what is already a top quality production. Maybe you should re-read your own comment, and re-read the other comments. They are FULL of praise as well! At the end of the day, creators do it for their OWN creative satisfaction.
@@stujd1539 I definatly read a couple times and wasnt originally going to post at all but since my comment, I noticed a few rude messages that now have been deleted. Ive also noticed the constructive ones too for sure but what got my attention was for the few that seem to criticize poorly on almost every video from Chris - I wouldnt say something if I didn't understand. We do create videos for our satisfaction yes but it definatly goes both ways. ❤
Well said Pauly well said.
I myself have just started to edit my videos and it takes a lot of time and effort. Between you Sean and Chris I can only wish to be able to do what you lads do. I watch religiously even my girlfriend and kids are starting to watch with me. We all enjoy your work Chris the only thing I'm disappointed in is you don't make as many videos anymore for me to watch hahaha.
Well said pauly. Rasta here! I only wish I could put some more videos on at the moment but me and my phone went for a swim unintended. I wouldn't know where to start to edit. I don't even think u can on my phone but just love to show people the places and gold I go to and find. Cheers man! 👍✌️
Thanks to Chris and all these videos, I've learnt so much about where to pan and how to find gold. To those detractors - you do better or shut up and if you can't make a decent comment, then don't. No one asks you to watch these videos, if you can't get something out of these videos then don't watch them....simple! Thanks Chris, you have made a very much novice into just a plain novice. I can't wait to get to Victoria and do some sluicing and panning as well as week of detecting in the fields.
I'm 67 years young and watching your videos has inspired me to start prospecting. I am learning all I can about gold thanks.
Are we here to watch gold videos or be movie critics. If you're looking for a $30,000,000 budget you won't find it on you tube. Chris isn't making you watch his channel it's your choice and it all boils down to.....it is what it is. Great job Chris keep doing what you love I appreciate it
ferd burphel
Some of DO ENJOY THESE VIDEOS..
They show NOTHING COMES EASY , but you can still get what you're AFTER.
😎👍
Chris hi from Northern California, amazing every time you go out you get Gold. Your knowledge is sure paying off. I enjoy all the super hard work you put into your videos. Michael is a great addition and Grizzly seems to like him too. Thank you for doing these videos it makes my day.
Great video. Much higher quality. I dig the music. I can tell you put a great deal of effort into this video. Thanks Chris. I really do enjoy them😎
Thank you Chris for everything you do for us. All that work is super. I appreciate this with all my heart.
Cheers man. I hope you got some use from my book.
Betcha, it has been with me all over the place where I have been doing prospecting in Norway.You see, I have a very short work- memory, not more than 567 Kbyte. And your excellent book helps me a lot Mate ;-)
Your time and effort you put into these videos is amazing Chris. You have me jealous and at ahh every time i see them, the gold is not bad either!
@7:14 a real pro-tip, thanks!! very useful for breaking up an oldtimers safe!!😂😂😂 (usually hidden behind a painting, or in an old cabinett)
Great Vid Chris, keep it up!!!
Griz-Cam at just before 12.30! Love it!
I may have said previously but your channel has become a regular watch on Sunday morning for my wife and I. We love the adventures you and Griz get up to. Your film making is superb, I really enjoy all the drone shots and extra little touches. Keep it up fella, you rock!
I love it mate, thank you
We haven't even finished watching yet, had to pause to hang washing! The second half will be extra special after your comment. Love to Grizzly.
Hi Chris, loving these Vids...longer and more enjoyable to watch. Keep em coming..xx
Chris I love your videos. They are so entertaining and educational..
Firing breath of fall here sir, hope the springtime is upon you guy's , and provide's some great weather for more gold on that spot.
Mike and your research will pay off, looking forward.
Looks like you've got a great new vibe going on there with the productions. Love the intro and the editing ideas. You must be burning the midnight oil to get the projects finished (well that''s what I do lol) It's one thing simply prospecting but to try and film is another thing. Telling the story is the difficult bit and you are doing a super job. Big thumbs up from the UK.
Well done Chris , your videos are so cool , you do a good job my friend :)
Your Chanel is one of the best, one of the most interesting and educational there is online ! Please keep them coming
Thank you so much!
Good to hear some Otis McDonald as a backing track. Well played.
You are doing a great job bringing us these videos. Still have a few bugs to work out, but all in all, two thumbs up. Good luck on your next adventure.
Cheers man
I like the editing and the aerial drone shots. It is pretty country and a nice creek. Handsome Grizz too
IDK why but every time I watch your channel I laugh my ass off. Good show
In just the split second that we saw Michael pan I saw why he ended up with just a few chunky bits and why you got .38 with a mix of super fine to small pickers. Reason is because he pans too steeply with too much water washing over and he probably washes 75% of the gold right back into the river! Do your mate a favor and tell him! He will greatly appreciate the results! Great video and very well edited!!
I did just that on this day, he saw a markable improvement in his take.
The series is brilliant! Your time and effort well spent!
Good on ya!
thanks mate, glad youre enjoying them
You have to love GRIZZLY
😎👍
I really enjoy watching you and and great humor. Keep up the great work!
i agree PioneerPauly chris is a top bloke he has got me onto gold and his videos have taught me where to look , he is a busy fella making all these videos so we can learn, give him a break , its a great hobby and not many people share there skills , enjoy and learn as there is not many videos that are so detailed
Thank you!
thanks Chris Mike and Grizly. good show
Nice Gold , see ya friday
Grizzly is the bomb.....You need to paint those blue pans- green...😂🤣😂💖Elkslayer & Elmo
He's my boy.
Interesting thing to note about color is that blue and yellow are complementary opposites, meaning they stand out from each other in the color spectrum.
Green and yellow are actually in the same category and they blend in together.
The things you learn from your partners art course.
I have used black, blue and green pans...prefer the green- so much easier to see the black sand allowing me to pan like a mad man....I tried to remember the whole color wheel but all I remember is the color spectrum. ROYGBIV...You really need to stay awake during that class and share you notes with us.....especially when you get into the figure drawings...😂🤣😂💖Elkslayer & Elmo
Chris - I am really impressed at how much the longer format has improved your sense of storytelling, etc. Also, the soundtrack and editing have really reached new levels as well. Loved some of the music selection as well - hoping you include a soundtrack listing soon since one of the tunes in this video I want to find and load up on my player - keep up the AWESOME WORK!!!!
One of the songs is licensed in the description.
What craggy old asses are giving thumbs down. Seriously if these vids don't float your boat, move on. Why go to the trouble and time to "thumbs down" Chris, another great adventure. Thanks
Nice looking gold mate great video
Nice Gold !!!
Love the new longer video's also the excellent video editing. Thanks for your hard and dedicated work!
Love your vids mate .
Great video from a fan in Scotland - thanks.
Another great episode Chris. Fantastic, I wish you could pull a couple of big ones out!! you work so hard for just a few dollars. I'm mesmerized pal. Can't wait till next week, happy days.
Would be nice to find + gram bit that's for sure.
Best vid yet ,killing it mate well done.
I like THE dog-cam in THE end, more of that
Looks like you had a great day out & you both found some nice gold, well done.
Great job mate and some nice gold. Well done. Cheers for sharing.
Congratulations on the color brother. Always educational and beautiful scenery. Very nice production.
Don't let the negativity get in some people just have it in their soul causing them to rot and try to spread it. The majority of us think your doing a great job keep up the good work and prospect on
Cheers man, there's way more positivity on here than negativity. Just hard to see the good sometime.
Epic vertigo shot of Grizzly. Very Hollywood.
It was hand held and I'm surprised how good it turned out.
I really love your videos and griz, so keep it up!!
Nice gold, but totally awesome video. Very professional, love it.. All the best. Already looking forward to the next episode.
You 2 rock with all that prospecting & that dog, O man you are making that bread famous ! Lol... Could watch hours of your panning videos. Music is fairly sweet also. Great stuff thanks !!!
When you break the outside tines off that fork tool you get a good crevice tool too
I've got custom ones for that ☺
Hi Chris. Long time subscriber. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the effort you are putting into improving your video content. You are doing a great job friend.
Your a privileged man being given the opportunity to serve Griz. Griz has a decent human as a keeper. Unlike too many other dogs. Hell he gets to get out and about having a life. Not Chained to some damn tree in the Sun. Dang I need to get out and do some panning before I go Bonkers. I like Fly PooP gold. Before ya know it you have a butt load of them and they show up on the scales. LOL
Thanks mate
I Love the new format! Can see you are working out some audio bugs, but that will come with practice. Well done mate!
Thanks mate, I'm slowly getting there with audio. Biggest issue I had with this one was making it in separate segments and I forgot to balance two clips 😐
Great Work love your channel...….. from the horn of Africa
Great to have you
Hi Chris ,sorta an off topic question but did mick ever live by the sea? I think he used to do my lawns, but there is never enough ""mick time" to work it out. :)
cheers and keep up the good work
He did
grizzly is another great youtube dog.
hes my draw card to be honest
Great vid mate
Mr Grizzly! Mint like 😂🐕
Best channel out there, editing is really cool would love to see more of grizzly 👍👍
I want to get more of him in but hes tricky to film!
Videos are getting better mate.
Yes, the sound sometimes has issues, but, who really gives a rats arse when you see that yellow stuff!?
Improvements take time. I spent 3 years at film school and I know editing is a pain at the best of times (Try editing and splicing film, that shit is very difficult and time consuming!!), but, I don't bother with grade A production values when I make videos, I just make them and post them for myself to view later.
I personally don't care what others think.
Keep up the good work.
Aloha from Hawaii
Awesome haul.
Hope that you’re doing well Chris.
Keep up the great work. 🤙🏼
Aloha
another informative vid mate. keep em coming xD
Wot no scones? Michael must be favoring Grizzly now. Great golds and great presentation as always.
Too short notice
Man I wish I could come prospect with you. Much like your friend Josh I'd have no problem moving some big rocks to find some shiney yellow and enjoy being outdoors.
Hey unless you are producing A grade documentaries yourselves, with perfect filming, sound and editing maybe you should hold off on negative comments.
This is a guy who goes into the bush to pan gold, spend time with his mates and maybe entertain a few people.
The educational value in these videos is incredible. Not only does he do this for free, he puts all of his own time and money in to it whilst dealing with his own life.
Back off or unsubscribe.
If you dont like the vids then dont give it a thumbs up. Its that simple.
Pity your children when they bring home their art work from kindergarten only to face your critique
Another awesome video Chris you two moved a lot of dirt good work mate.
Hey at the end of that video the area behind you higher up looked like a good spot with warn river rocks?
There's a few higher benches
Being that it’s -36 Celsius here in the Yukon I really do enjoy these videos!
I'd honestly take that over 45C
Just, curious, Chris: how do you have your drone flying behind the car for those intro shots? Love how you use your imagination for so many viewing angles, detail and overview. Very impressive editing, too. Don't know how you manage to pan, crevice, etc plus provide such a great show. Not overly fussed re audio as, in context, I can hear it okay - though maybe different on other devices.
Got Michael to drive and I filmed him, he was my stunt double lol. Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them
There is a Norwegian drone called Staaker. It is programmable to how you want it to follow you, height and length and start and land in the same place if you want. And it automatically takes "around flights" if you want.You only need to start it with the receiver you bring in the car, ski or bike, and it will follow you constantly at the height you program it.
Kenneth Prospecting Norway.
Awesome new intro Goldbrother.
I don't know if you are still accepting ideas for the Vo-gus change. How about "Yabby Snoots" prospecting. The progression in your technique is visible dude, as always a pleasure to watch you. I am glad that you have found a way to manage the mental demons. Much appreciated and much love. Be well.
I am not changing the name, just the graphic. I have something on the cards now.
I really enjoyed your video Chris. I was panning a day or two ago and found my first picker and ended up up with about .31 of gold. Now the gold bug has set in and I can't wait to go again. Hopefully it will be with in the next few days
Yew nice work lads
Now leave me some to find lol lol
Hope there are some medium deep water around your area Chris
As I do like going underwater to find it lol lol
You guys have way to much fun
And Grizzly even gets a bickie lol
Cheers guys keep finding the yellow stuff
Can’t wait for my book too

Negative comments about audio are fair. Means the channel popular and the expectations are high.
The rest is shit talking from other prospectors which is as old as the gold rush.
Woah! Nice dolly zoom on Grizz at the start Chris, and great drone shots. Best vid yet mate, somebody has busy in post hey. ☺👍👍
Not bad for hand held hey. Took 4 days or around 12-16 hours to edit because of the quantity of clips I had.
Yep top job cob, I read some of the other comments about the audio, that damn gopro, it always tries to trick ya on audio the scallywag, but I did see Casey's latest vid just earlier on the gopro 7 and the audio has been improved a lot. 👍
..untouched creek...look for the springs running into it...they might be spitting out gold.....
There is actually a spring at the top.... Now you have Me thinking.
COOL
love your videos, keepupthe good work mate.now off for a chicken strip for breakfast.
Nicely put together video Chris. Nice drone footage. I assume you use your drone to help check out what's around the next bend. Keep 'em comin'.
Nah man, it's just for filming. I'd rather walk it.
I'm really enjoying your Videos Sir. Put a little restriction end on that pump and it wouldn't be a race to the pan before your material starts falling out. BINGO.. Some of the mine tailing here are quite lucrative because the ol boys working the stuff was only realizing like $17.00 a Oz. Stuff you and I drool over was shoved out of the way. LOL "" OLD "" Buddy your clueless on Old. I'M OLD ! Yur not there yet. LOL
Hey Chris, your videos are now pushing expert/professional quality, but you need to heed the advice of others below and address the audio inconsistencies. Maybe it's time to ditch the gopro and get a more capable video camera (4K?). Of course you would still use the gopro for underwater shots and for B roll footage and of course, most importantly, it all depends on how much disposable polymer 💲 you have. In my opinion you are in the top three prospecting videos ON THE PLANET! Keep up the good work.
I do heed all the advice I get, but there is another side to this.
To film and edit in 4k I need a better computer and bigger memory cards (I took 61gb of film in 1080@60 for this one). That's way more $$ than I have to spend. the GoPro is capable of 4k@60 but its impossible to edit with my current computer.
I've got a full volg set up DSLR, but its not water proof. And that's the thing 99% of my footage is taken in mud, water and bad weather. Even if the camera is not in the water my hands are filthy and my pack is an absolute mess of dirt and grime. The GoPro can handle all that but the DSLR can't.
Audio was frustrating on this one, so much noise hit that mic. And I forgot to balance some of it. I can't use a lapell mic because of water reasons again, I just have to keep trying to edit it all.
In the end I feel my editing has come a long way and I'm bound to have mistakes along the way. If I had the budget I'd hire someone to do bits for me and upgrade my gear.
However, in reality this is a hobby for me. Its fun, nothing more and nothing less.
You have actually given me an idea, stay tuned...
I hear you. Never the less, you're doing a bloody good job with the resources you have. Far better quality and editing than most on UA-cam these days. You don't need an editor, you have that down pat. You may want to download NCH's WavePad Sound Editor. It's totally free, very powerful and straight forward to use (they also have a video editor but your software is doing the job). Also, think about a graphics card for the PC, if you don't already have one.
I think the camera is fine.
Like you said there aren't many cheap cameras that would handle what you throw at it.
Also you have to carry it all.
The thing that sparked this discussion was the other comments about the audio. I didn't notice any marked difference as mentioned by others. What I did notice was the "scratchy" noise every time Chris grabbed the camera, and the lag in the audio levels coming back to normal after the camera was handled. In retrospect, yes the camera is fine for video. A simple solution for the audio level variance is to keep it in mind when recording and allow a second or two either side of moving the camera so that the "scratchy" (tech term) can be edited out. Feedback is the mother of improvement! BTW Chris, what was your idea?
15:50 looks like you got a bit of gold stuck in your beard :). #beardsluice
It was bugging the hell out of me in the edit.
Digging all day!
Hey Chris, good video love your new style of filming, do you think the gold is still coming down the creeks when they flow or flood.
See, if you look at the first clips of you using the yabbi pump, you can watch the water and potentially the gold falling out of the pump. I know you said you work towards the pan - trying not to lose any gold, but I cannot help but think gold is escaping. Around the 2:50 mark, you can see the water and potential gold falling out. Gold falling at such a rapid rate in water, makes me think gold escapes.
More easily seen at the 5:03 mark.
That's why we go over it several times. Like I said first I work towards the pan, then when I've got most of the dirt out and its just bedrock I use a brush to sweep it all into a pile as close to the pan as possible then suck the pile up.
What you have to remember is the multiple times I've shown that a shovel will never pick up as much as a yabbie pump. They dont lose gold easily as I've found a 4grammer using one, if it can lift that then it can lift anything smaller.
With the pan grader to remove the larger pieces of matter would it be possible to add other mesh gauge pans into a form of sorting stack so you would have different grades of panning material in each section ?
Yes, but you have to be carful not to screen too small so you dont lose the chunks.
Grizzly Dog. The wonder from down under. I Love your videos Chris. The audio needs to be higher or maybe I'm going blind? Love your channel man. Peace ✌
Great as always, and i love the music, but could you have the volume a tad lower on the music when you are not talking. I have to turn the volume to max to hear and understand when you talk, but when you stop talking the music is way loud.
Still, great as always, and give grizzly an ear scritch for me. :)
I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos. I enjoy and learn from them. Your finding beautiful gold thats been left behind. I don't know if it's the beard or what but you resemble Ned Kelly. Any relation? Thanks for the video.
No relation of mine
let's give him a punt and a pickaxe to the old grizzly
I always enjoy your vids keep it up. Like you I'm fitting leather pump washers cos they're more durable and efficient but haven't found a local supplier of ready made washers or cups so will have to fabricate some.... is that what you did?
I cut them myself from roo leather ☺ well worth the replacement.
yup - i figured that's what you'd done so now I'm off to find a saddler to purchase some roo leather but in the process discovered that in my town the saddler closed shop in 1910 and the blacksmith not long after ..............
Hi Chris, can you please do a video on Michael's PVC yabby pump?
I think i have already
Grizz is busy finding and swallowing nuggets so he can deposit them in the back yard for his retirement fund. 😜
That would be handy
hey vo-gus i been meaning to say somthin the sound when speak gets louder then quieter as get closer and further away maybe you could wear a mic ?
Just a bit of info I past on to a couple others on YT: I had prob's with my phone a few years ago. People couldn't hear me and the sound from my end was garbled. Then a friend said it sounded like I was underwater. "DING DING"!!! Turns out there was a tiny bit of water in the microphone hole of my phone. I get surface tension was keeping it stuck there. Spit, rain drop, who knows. As soon as I started minding it, no more problems. Passed it on to a YT'er when his audio got funky. He was just about to buy a new camera. Thankfully, it was indeed water in the mic.
Anywho....... maybe something to check regularly. Maybe keep a tissue or some q-tips in a plastic bag. Dab the mic holes regularly. Or even just a blow out. Especially if transitioning between an under water shot and out. Hope this is helpfully for anyone.
Lol.grizz cam.
does anyone know where you can get a Yabby pump/ bait pump in the USA?
My TV is on 10(low), my PC on 50%, and your intro is still Loud As Fuck! Good Job! I love watching your vids btw.
Need more golds:)
Give grizzley good pat on the head for me..👍
I think it's time to get a wireless lapel mic to help with your audio. On camera audio is rough. And the levels are all over. Thought I blew my phone speaker.
Would love to hit the creeks with you guys but living on the other end of the Planet presents a bit of a issue.
Just a small 15,000km one
Chris- I love your channel, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE even out your audio levels. At the beginning of this video it was horrible, in fact, the worst yet. The extremely high sound level surge actually caused the output protection to blow the fuses in my amp and blew out one speaker. :(
You can get software to control the audio levels , or monitor your input levels on the music/fx.
This is meant as helpful criticism.
I made this in 4 parts, the clip your talking about was the last one and I forgot to balance it.
Sorry about that.
Hey Chris do you use an external microphone if so what type thx😀
I dont
Another great video. Your editing is spot on as usual. Audio not so great. Time for a mic. Your filming just keeps getting better!
Did you ever think about putting a set of saddle bags on Grizzly and letting him help pack some of your things in and out. I bet he could handle 10 to 15 pounds of stuff for you....
Back when I was a young man such as yourself I worked physically hard jobs. Because that was how I was raised, that at the end of your work day you back and legs better be hurting or you didn't work hard enough...
Well then the 1970's came and people were learning to work smarter not harder. But now that I'm in my golden years I realize that my working hard 9 to 12 hours a day 6 days a week when I was young was the dumbest thing I could have ever done to my body... I had to retire at the age of 51 because my body was shot physically. Thank God I had a job that I had worked at for 32 years and I could retire with full benefits...
So it's ok to work hard but only do it a few hours a day and only a few days a week. Your body will thank you when you are 70... Be blessed... BBE..
He's actually got his camping pack, but his joints are dodgy so I dont like using it.
Lol Chris, I thought you might say management cannot be expected to do menial tasks!
Great vid mate, loved it. Cheers!
