Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...
That was a particularly engaging episode. I liked the multiple areas tested, jerky sidebar, different methods used, and of course the honest personalities. Just great production and content.
it is neat to see the progression your channel has taken from years ago to now, you have improved your methods and techniques and its really quite cool to watch
Hey Chris thanks for everything you have taught us! Thanks to you I found my first gold deposit yesterday in my home state of Michigan. 39 pieces in 5 pans!
In case anyone else wanted to try jerky: My personal tip would be to add dry rub afterwards.
I like a bit of a flavour explosion when I make jerky, so I add some hot and sweet seasoning after its done drying. Brown sugar, salt, cayenne pepper and a small amount of red chili flakes, and rub it in.
Absolutely 🙂
Personally I like a simple flavour profile, hence simple recipie
That is probably one of the best stool samples I've ever seen in my life that's just funny that's just funny I'm a Vietnam vet and you just tracked me up I love your Channel
The new dog was absolutely happy for you to feed him
Her name is Fern (=
Fun video, Chris, Gad Zee and Mick. Creepy doll arm scared the hell out of me. Am hoping that the security team gets a share of the shiny. Thanks to all for taking us along for the adventure.
As an experienced rocker box builder and user I would recommend putting a few riffles on your top mat and have the matting between them (I usually use 12mm square dressed pine) and miners mass as the mat. All of this will increase the top mat recovery and help it spread the material out, which increases the bottom recovery as well (ie. run more material or clay-y stuff between clean outs) while still being a more authentic rocker box
Thanks for the tips!
Would dream may be good for the box?
I love my little rocker box. You inspired me a couple of years ago to research and build one. It works very well out in the desert and uses waaaaaay less water than a recirculating set up. It is slower but I love it. Thanks Chris. Heavy pans!
Love the old steel pan and rocker box! I found a little .42 gram nugget exactly like your smelted gold, crazy how dense it can be. Looked like it would've weighed half of that
Omg you two together Crack me up. Enjoy every day your out together. Looks like so much fun
It's good to see Mick back out! He and Gadzy make good mates, at least on a UA-cam video
And I miss your dog that was so funny having your dog with you is just cracked me right up
love the little hand and the security team is top notch
I am a Korean subscriber. I'm also making my own High Bank and collecting money by referring to your High Bank video.
I always enjoy watching it.
Hello sunshine. You're truly awesome Thank you for the adventure. Love the stool sample. Now I have to make one for the job. For when I called in sick and I'm not. Happy Days. Can't wait to see you in the next one, much love always
Love the video Chris. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Cheers!
Classification is also important not just for particles competing in the sluice but for the actual force of water required to move the particles to be different enough to allow separation.
Considering a round-ish particle of black sand, and similarly shaped piece of gold, the gold can have 1/3 the diameter before the force becomes the same. Classifying to 1/2 causes there to always be a significant difference allowing the gold to be separated.
It literally has a classifier on it.
It just goes on and on my friend, some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they will continue singing it forever just because!
I just become Out Of The nowhere almost Scottish too with a cracking voice with seeing that pan of you guys there ! Nice pan of gold 😯🤪
The greatest team on UA-cam in my opinion. You 3 lads are not just brilliant at finding gold but also amazing people ❤️👍🏻⚒️🏴
Woot woot, loved this episode and your own creative flair!
Awwww the ole cup on a stick trick classic. Awsome. Thanks for sharing
That was a great episode!. Well done. 🙂
great video chris good to see you and gadz having such fun and a little bit of gold for your efforts
Got to have the fun mate. None of us are getting rich doing this.
The rocker box seems a little easier on your back than panning because you don’t have to bend over as much. Pretty neat design!
Lol. I love the baby doll hand. 😂
I love your old school and low tech vids Chris, they encourage hobbyists to give prospecting a go. Im hoping you will go thru the puddle dregs in dry season. Any gold lost from the rocker is in there somewhere!
The jerky recipe looks tasty. I'd add a tad more liquid bread and chilli. All added to good Aussie grass fed beef. Yes!
Great episode enjoyed it 👍
Another banger video...
LOVE the baby hand vs spoon!!
Great video Chris..keep up the good work down there.
Will do mate, thank you
Incredible show many laughs,Thank you Chris
1 Thumbs up Sir if only for the STOOL SAMPLE .
Stool on the hands
Thanks for the videos on the non-standard stuff.
I love your videos man, I’ve been trying to prospect here in Utah, I either suck really bad and need to quit lol or where I’m trying just don’t have gold. Very fun to watch you. Thanks for the content
Great video old school 😊 nice one guys
Brother I love your channel man, I can just tell, your having a great time. Cudos brother
Stool sample..omg as a veterinary technician, Im howling! Rofl!
Glad it hit the mark
I got his stool sample on display on my shelf. But he wouldn't sign it
Great energy you have, just what you need to be a prospector. I had that energy in my 20s and I’m going out again shortly and I’m going to try to tap back into that energy 20 plus years later, thanks for your videos. Love the gold.
Its all about that chase mate. Puts a spark in most people's step
Once you get out there you'll probably find a reserve. Especially if on the gold. ))
Maybe just don't plan a big long tiring trip straight up, expecting to have the same energy as your 20s. Then it might surprise you.
Or you come stay at my place where you can walk a few minutes to the nearest creek and pan, highbank or detect most anywhere and be one the gold. ))
@@iamshredder3587 awesome offer in in Western Australia if you are I’m keen
You sir are a ledgend I have been wanting a good jerky recipe for ages now I make jerky
wow look,at all the gold in that puddle it's covering you boots lol thank you for sharing the adventure.
Awesome video mate! If you have any friends that are into deer hunting try and grab some venison to make jerky, it's bloody good stuff.
I used to hunt, that's where I learnt how to do it, love venison and goat jerky.
@@VoGusProspecting sweet! Fyi goat meat is called shevron
@@699hazard venison jerky is my next to meat to try. Kangaroo is also great.
@@699hazard
Wrong, know all, it’s chevon, although it is often mistakenly called chevron,
as you were attempting to do.
Great video!
Thank you
Well you guys had a great time mucking around in the mud ,that's cool melting it down like that
Ladle ladle ladle I made you out of ….. crud. Great to see you guys having fun. That’s what it’s all about. Love it! Thanks
Its all about making it work with what's in your shed lol
Also. Jerky….. I’ve been making it for years now. From all sorts of meat, beef, kangaroo, rabbit. Love it all, the worst part is my kids also love it. So I don’t get to eat as much as I’d like haha. I have a good recipe to try if you like.
I also bought a dehydrator last year. Best investment ever.
Absolutely, love to hear your recipe
@@VoGusProspecting
1-1.5kg thinly sliced beef top round
3/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 rounded tablespoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 generous tablespoon honey
- Marinate for 6 hours or more.
Then in the dehydrator or oven at 75-85 degrees for around 5-6 hours. If you like more spice, add more spice. Also if I run out of smoked paprika you can sub in a tablespoon of Smokey BBQ sauce. This tends to be a little sweeter though.
Dude...that doll arm outta nowhere is hella creepy! LOL!
The leprotic baby arm is awesome!
At Maryborough Goldfields ATM coming up to Reedy creek next trip after this next weather event, would love to catch up for a lattee and a yarn lol
Good fun watching keep hunting cheers guys
He's at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you
I hope the new dog doesn't have a stool problem like you had
What a fun video!
Great video as always. It's a neat trick to make beef jerky from lamb🤣🤣🤣. Keep the videos coming I love your content , thank you 👍
You realise I said making jerky, not beef jerky, lamb is delicious.
Have a listen at about 10 minutes 🤣
Self Tapping Screws
I know About Desert fixes high banking.
Great Work .
Awesome Chris wish I could join you, I’m not able and I’d probably annoy but I’m really enjoying man . Thanks bud 😉
Next time you get the rocker box out you should wear period specific clothing to be more 1800's authentic and maybe take a carton of eggs to trade for gold.
I'm really glad to see you took advantage of the water at your special spot. Really cool maybe a push broom when you dry wash? As always good luck and God Bless.
I am loving it! 🤓
jeez... an ounce per Egg???
were gonna IV them??
Great Video Chris!! best video in loooong time!!!!
Be safe!! Alex
Mining gold with simple tools, don't worry, with this tool you can find a lot of gold. greetings of friendship from Indonesian agate hunters
Thanks for the jerky recipe.
When you head out to those dry benches this summer, take a little car whisk broom and small dust pan. You just may end up with more than what a shovel can get you.
Love how you take the piss out of yourself, but make if I was going to lug anything there it be the high banker 😆 🤣 😂 😹. Always love the content, stay balanced and enjoy yourself..cheers Rob
Only shovel doggers take themselves seriously haha
Thanks mate for your time replying 👍. You know if you wanted to make a little extra money 💰 and have a heap more fun sell little learning tours and the best benefits are you have more backs to carry equipment and trust me you and your people would have a fat time. If you need help to get it going, I did the same thing 20 years ago teaching people beekeeping..best thing I've ever done cheers 🍻
Nice the savage just made jerky the other day, it’s a great skill to learn, I’ve never learned myself
Not hard mate, dehydrated meat. Pretty simple lol
Lost my shit when the small hand grabbed a scoop of cons haha that was gold mate 👍🤣🤣
Take my strong hand ✋️
@@VoGusProspecting I see you eyeing of the first piece of pie 🤣
seus vidios saô muito bons parabens!!!!
You make me feel warm in my tummy 🙂
I gave my dogs a scratch for you. Nice video mate cheers.
That’s more than half a gram I reckon it’s .89 back to the smelt…or not lol. Well gadzee and mick in one video very cool and I enjoyed the rocker box more than you did (it didn’t affect my old man back one bit😬) can’t wait till it drys out to see the dry washing great episode thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
Bien pensado!!🇪🇦🇪🇦⛏️👍
Doll arm nightmares for me. Lol. Creepy af.
It has kind of a nutty flavor!
ROCKER BOX VS THE GYM...
THANKS CHRIS.
ITS A BIT OF GOOD OLE MINING TECH.
You need an old stool to set next to that rocker box to stave off some of that old man back!
What kind of pets do you have on that Rocker Box when you're doing that
That's awsome golden ball
At the 1:00 minute mark, it looks like there is a coin in the scoop of dirt you put in the rocker box
Ladle, LOL. 🤣🤣
I made a wicked rocker box years ago , l left it out side the back door l was away for a couple of days and when I returned home I found it in mums garden full of plants, it did look good but no prospecting for me, LOL. Love u mum
Manual high bank is cool. It should be interesting.
With the fine gold, have you ever tried a drum type processing method?
How efficient is a rocker box vs a modern method? Could you do a video of panning the tails on each ?
I've already made those videos. Check out my play lists for them.
Its actually pretty efficient once you get the knack of doing it. Like a 10% loss rate.
Don't worry Chris were sending the bloody sun right back to.you.lol.man has been a hot one this yr...from.oregon.lol
I’m not convinced the old timers had miners moss.
Still awesome video..
Thats not miners moss
try a thicker, more aggressive carpet / matting for your rocker! You will catch more micro gold.
Spud engineering should slip a 1 meter pipe over that short handle on the rocker box.
Being fully upright will save major back pains !!
Chis the main reason why the old timers used rocker boxes was because Minelab t'was not available back in the day. Troy from Kalgoorlie. 🤗
Hahaha, it was all Garret back then.
Does miner's moss work as well as or much better than burlap? How do you know?

It’s funny as a sparky how often I see electrical tape used for something besides electrical work. Lol it can be as handy as the beloved duct tap
I get good cut of meat have the butcher slice it and do the same as you at home but oven is 150 degrees for about 8hrs and jerky last longer in containers or I borrow my besties dehydrator when I do I get extra meat and make her some to I also dry veggies so when I'm out in the back country I can make a soup over campfire and and drying helps on pack room
I was working at splendour in the mud where you are isn't quite as bad
I think that the old timers didn’t have nitrated salt for preservation of meat.
You need a cone mold for pooring small amounts. Maybe check Jason from MBMMLLC, He does a lot of melting.
Maybe put bucket of water next to rocker box
Just curious, Have you ever tried using a potato to melt your gold? Saw it on outback gold fever. 🤠
This video was a tad crazier than usual. Still funny though! Good to see Fern get some quality air time, but she was being naughty by being in the kitchen! Girls in fur coats do Not belong in the kitchen. They may only look in from the side and only if well behaved.
Looks like the whole crew had fun Chris!
