I believe that Chris helped Pauly set up and edit his UA-cam channel success. Pauly is friends with Dan. Maybe that is somewhat the connection. Plenty more prospecting channels on UA-cam but none as big as Vo-Gus.
4:02 my brother from down under I love when you post videos and mention the weather, I'm north texas and your weather is the exact opposite of ours and it makes me happy knowing yall are in the middle of summer because it means we still have winter here left
Awsome video chris i know you talk about changing how you where ganna do you videos, and if this is how your ganna do it I love it. With all the cometary and info during the during the video is super cool kepp it up man.
Ah, the serenity, Chris! Yet another variety of cicada I'll have to learn the name of, we're quite fond and also not happy with our local Greengrocer Cicada, all-green, eyes, body, transparent green wings, a constant noise, rather than the thrum-thrum or cyclic chortle of the Golden Triangle and of Victoria's northeast. May I share a still of the cicada to a friend? Logo of Vogus Prospecting in the bottom right corner? She'd posted on the incessant insect musicians in full orchestral manoeuvres in the heat of the midday sun. Mel Smith aka The Greenmatics is a good egg. While the video plan got changed, Chris, the feel and details of the exploration and panning out on a creek was, as it seems apposite to say, fresh, informative and entertaining, as ever, now we're adding the spice of projects that require art, science and technology - onwards, mate. We'd just commented on Levi's haul of sapphires but missed the bit to say about combining the finding of gold and gems in the one long-form adventure, or sequence of discrete visits, enough to make an item of jewellery. For yourself, perhaps a longer timeframe, so you may find a great gem that satisfies and justifies in size and clarity to be faceted, or polished to a cabochon, 60° angle for a star sapphire's asterism, and enough gold for what you have in mind! Cheers, best of good luck on heavy pockets! Gabi of Narre Warren.
Hey Chris, Did you/will you go back to that quartz outcropping to further explore for Au? And what ever happened to the old Au mine you rediscovered (and found some) new workings? Thanks Bill W.
@@VoGusProspecting Not trying to find out any top-secret info but rather to find out if I kind/would know a millionaire:) In all seriousness I would wish you luck/great success because you have earned it!
Hot diggity that big ol danged ol precious metal silver clay was neater than a tiger leech on a fingertip. 🤩 my question is did it affect the color of the garnets when you fired it? And I think it would have been very cool with pickers attached or had some flood gold rolled on it….. but then it would cost way more…. Bummer you didn’t find the drop zone but it’s there down creek somewhere and I’m sure there’s ounces after a flood like that great vidya thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
@ thanks for the info and for showcasing the silver clay I was unfamiliar with it but dam it’s pretty cool after watching the vid and I see they make gold clay as well 😳 looking forward to more of your creations with this stuff if you wouldn’t mind 😬 either here or spud engineering.
@VoGusProspecting hey man. Your vids are the best. I know others are out there. And the gold is different in Australia then in the mother load of California, but I find the information you share is the best for information and humor!!! Two toes, Jeff Williams, Dan hurd is good but find it boring. Ol' Buckshot is fun! You two together are a fabulous team! Oi Mic! Cheers Chris!
Where I live there are large patches of garnets sitting on the surface of a public gold panning reserve. I have 1000's of garnets about the same size as the ones used in this video. I have (on occasion) found gemmy garnets in the 1 carrot range.
maybe carry a tarp with bit of rope to make shade where you dig in that particular stream. tie to trees on each side, here is america we bring canopy and dig in 104 degree weather and at night.
Have you ever found a pool of gold? I was watching you tube a few weeks back, half asleep and saw a bloke going on about the gold that every one else walks past. Long story short, i was on an an ivestigating journey up my very secluded river a week ago, swimming and rock rambling so i had nothing with me and i found a water fall which i had assumed might be there from google earth, i found the boundary between the granite where i am and the sedimentary shales heading west, a good day. Any way, on my way back to where i had departed, i found a pool of yellow, a great big tree, double trunked had fallen across the river about a meter above the water line and in its created hole from the root mass, there was this bright yellow pool. Now this tree is massive, each trunk to a meter and i couldnt quite reach the pool so i grabbed a stick and tried to get some on the end so i could inspect it. The pool was more of a sludge, the bright yellow on top and each time i got the stick to scoop up the yellow, it moved aside, i couldnt get it to stay on the stick. Ive still not been back with a waterproof container for my camera but i will try to get back there this week because next time the big rains come, i imagine it will be gone. I dont know what it was, the Kanukas were in full bloom, a striking yellow that they are and i tried for an hour with different search names to find that video id seen when half asleep to get more information and i couldnt find it. East Gippsland, My secret spot.
I found Diadorus Scicilus or something like that Roman documentary maker in ancient time's writing. He said children would be sent into galleries to bring yellow rock, elders would rub it into wooden planks, they'd burn them in giant clay jars with a few cement stones in to absorb impurity. That's the Egyptian technique. So I wasn't even in flakes. It was powder native.
An attainment 🎉 Thanks for doing jewellery. You seen those Romanian bangles on Netflix? People used to have, I dunno, half a metre finger thickness snakes they'd wind round their arms or straighten into septa. Not many found a way into museum. 🥇
If all of his experience has taught him where to look wouldn't what you're saying be counterintuitive? You're literally saying hey you learned to pick certain areas because they're the ones that have gold have you tried the ones that don't have gold.
I'm watching this while using my earbuds ,made of the finest chineseium, and those down under cicadas sound like part of the old dial-up tone. Did they work as old-timey interweb operators back in the day?
My local river has garnet sand. So very red sand with lots of black mixed in and occasionally micro specks of glacial gold at the bottom of the pan. Unfortunately the only large pieces of garnet have been ugly fractured brown. Over two summers I was able to accumulate about a dollars worth of gold so not much more than fun in my youth. Travel is required for decent gold. Fortunately no one ever had a hitchhiker like the tiger you had.
Hey Chris! Out of curiosity, why don’t we see more of Mick? Is he camera shy? Maybe he’s got a killer job that keeps him from going to the creek as often as you? Tell him he’s missed! 🙂👍
Mick is around, family, avalibe time etc. And i enjoy hanging out with Mick, filming often detracts from that, living in the moment rather than recording it.
Here I thought I was the only one sitting on the shitter looking at google maps for new fishing and prospecting spots. I don’t feel so weird about it now 🤣
Hang on.... You oiled it? I thought Oil around Gold was a bad idea. Oil will make the gold float out of a new pan, that's why we 'season' them. I get it the wooden batea pan was cracking, but is oil the best option...?
Garnets are very hard... almost like diamonds. They don't usually shatter. It's uncommon... you could drop a ton of feathers on a hammer and the hammer will remain. Garnets a generally harder than the boulders they are traveling with.
@@jameswagner2505 They are hard yes, but so is an axe compared to a rock, yet hit that axe against a rock and you will chip said axe. Small garnets between big rocks, same result. It's called being brittle.
I've seen , and have piles, and bags of river run garnets where I'm from, and the garnets seem to just weatherd down to smaller garnets. While keeping that same multi-sided die form...Definitely river traveled with big rocks! I find garnets and basically never garnet shards... that's why I was asking originally.
Bro why your video's audio track resets to Malaysian everytime I try play it 😂😂😂 do you have a lot of Malaysian viewers? I literally can't watch it because of it

Possibly a stupid question but do you ever just try a pan from the totally opposite direction of where all your experience and knowledge tells you?
If all of his experience has taught him where to look wouldn't what you're saying be counterintuitive? You're literally saying hey you learned to pick certain areas because they're the ones that have gold have you tried the ones that don't have gold.
