- The Ugly Truth Of Gold Mining
Gold prospecting and mining has taken me around the world. But its the lessons of hard work and resilience that have been the real treasure that ive discovered.
Without dedicated hard work, being able to sluice, pan and metal detect in the harsh Australian bush would be next to impossible.

Hope this message finds you on a work toilet, getting paid for pooping.
The boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I poop on company time.
Lol
Something about ass we all understand 🎉
⛏️💩👍
Close. Non paid at the moment. That's what happens when you get let go from work. Oh man, the paid poops were always the best time.
Boss's hated it, so it made it even better!
The way you've brought over this makes me feel like skateboarding and gold prospecting has a few things in common. Each time you try your never guaranteed success, you're gonna fail more than you succeed but I feel that when you do get that success it makes it all the better because you know you've worked for it you've grown through failures you've been tested and came through the other side a better person for it
I just got done with a really rough night at work, in terrible pain from my old man back! With every fiber of my soul telling me it’s time to quit. Put on the first recommendation the tubes had on my tv, and I’m being told exactly what I needed at the exact right moment. Thank you Chris for all of your words, thank you for everything you do.
Dude... today is my birthday... and it's been a really tough day... showed me just how messed up things can be when it all seems to be going right. 🤔 But everything you just said really brought everything back into to perspective for me... thank you
Mate, i dont know you, but happy birthday, and i hope you end up having a great day.
I woke up at 4am yesterday, left my place at 5, drove for 2 hours and spent an hour cutting a path to the river. I spent the next 10 hours digging and filling holes hoping for gold. Unfortunately I didn’t find enough to pay for my gas. It was still an amazing day of pushing my limits to see if I could find a high water pay streak. Great video, great hobby, heavy pans my friends.
you know what man,
this would have to be up there with one of the best videos ive seen on youtube.
very well put together, inspiring, and a beautiful reminder of what it is to be alive, with purpose.
im sure i speak for many when i give many thanks for doing what you do.
keep it up mate, its fantastic content to say the least.
onya
Thank you Chris for continuing to strive to share with us all your love of panning and personal growth.
If one’s bedrock is not fractured enough, all those nuggets will move on. There is no growth in perfection!
it found me drunk befor bed :) love it. reminds me of why i still show up to work hungover and or still drunk
Every speck of gold has a story to tell, a story that started many billions of years ago when two massive collapsed stars crashed into each other.
Imagine being a star and then being found by me lol
Cool story. But that can be said about a lot of rocks too.
@@VoGusProspecting created by stars and found by a shining star, I can imagine it. Thanks for sharing.
"The character you build and the legacies you leave behind...and to remain humble in the face of your achievements"
TRUTH!!
You are a very wise man for as young as you are.
If gold becomes worthless tomorrow, I'll still be out there trying to find a bigger bit than I have before. It's not the money it's not the fame it's the challenge 👍. Thanks for the video, Chris 🍻.
Great video Chris. Positive messages that we can all relate to and appreciate
Thanks for sharing Chris your wonderful words of wisdom and gold. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
Well said, breaking away from comfort is f'ing hard as hell
Thanks for putting this together, Chris. It’s important.
You bet!
It's really amazing the amount of work to find gold. I guess that if it was easy every one will be doing it.. thank you for the adventure and please stay safe out there
Luckily I like hard work, well, hard rewarding work.
You are a legend indeed Chris. You are correct each time out is a true test of motivation, character, and endurance. You continue to not only meet each test with success you exceed the limits my friend. Thank you for all you do for the prospecting community.
👍😎🎩⚒️G.P.
Somedays are harder than others,it’s great that you blend prospecting and life .
A lot of people will never think about any of these things you are sharing...its a wisdom thing, we all get trapped in the day to day things and never care or take time to look at ourselves or our lives, stopping and taking time out to ponder ,I have found, is the best way to grow as a person and gain wisdom
Thanks for sharing your videos Chris
Cheers mate 👍😎✌
The grinding determination you develop through hard work and perseverance through pain will serve you well in any of your pursuits, physical or mental. The value of starting young cannot be overstated. Strong body, strong mind. Rock on, Chris.
I can always benefit from Professor Mouldy Beard’s teachings, guidance and/or wisdom. Great episode and interesting location.

12 👍's up VGP thank you for sharing 🤗
Thanks for the visit
Very encouraging!
This video is poetry and philosophy. Well done.
In life we do things,
We bust our arse, to support our families on any given day.
So think so much of you that you are following your passion, and making a living from it,
You are living the dreams of many, that can’t,
Keep the dream alive mate 👊👍
Nice encouraging and philosophical! Thank you.

This is a great success tutorial
Sometimes Vogus philosophy is just what I need, cheers Chris
It's a rare form of vogus
A good attitude, Chris. It is good to have goals. and don't forget to enjoy the journey along the way.
Great comments mate hard work always wins 🏆 👍
Thank you for your words Chris I needed to hear them been feeling very disheartened of late❤
Inspiring words of wisdom, thank you.
Very inspirational. Thank you.
Dude you are awesome! Im struggling and the words are hitting home! And the flat pan is absolutely genius
Nice 🎥 work. You’re getting good at it. Good messages also. I enjoyed this one.☮️👍🎸🎥
This hobby is much more than what most initially sign up for. It transforms you.The exploration, planning, scouting, weather elements, and hard work slowly creep in to a self realization that it is pure therapy. Hiking, climbing, braking new trail all combines to free us from the thought that’s it’s all about the gold and more so about the journey.
Thanks for your words and the vid. Needed to hear this today 🤔
Wise words Chris, might've been the script for my Aussie adventure. Now I'm back home, i realise that the gold i panned down under in three weeks is the same amount as I've panned here - in three years!
And the same principles still apply, nor will the weight of gold earned diminish the pleasure i derive from crashing around in the undergrowth here or in Oz. I'm still pushing the boundaries and testing my limits! The journey, not the destination.
Thanks for all your great work and advice. T.
Beautiful video Chris, really important human message.
For me, the ugly truth of gold mining is that at its core its environmentally destructive especially in creeks. This is the moral battle I struggle with every time Im out there looking for treasure I dont (financially) need 😮
Editing master! Always enjoy your videos. Finding gold is only a small part of this hobby
Great respect. You're a thinking man, Chris. Blessings to you.
Great vid as usual! Ice break add, priceless!
Well said, good message to all. Regards Andy

Thank you for sharing Chris that was very deep & inspiring. I really appreciate it.
Love it. Respect. So true. ✌️
ty Chris ❤
Thank you mate i really needed a talk like that it really hit the spot
Well said and presented Chris!😎.
I've always liked your episodes from this creek, something about the lighting in this location from the canopy overhead make for good filming. Great episode 👍
Truly appreciate this vlog.....true lesson for every day in our lives. Thank you, your an amazing person.
Another thing I can add is when cutting through the brush, do a zig/zag instead of staying in a straight line...that will let you to conceal the spot and not anyone wandering around will clue into your gold.
Excellent Video Chris ! Keep those videos coming they are much appreciated.
Thank you for your totally inspiring video. Words so true, but many people, when have sussess......... loose.
Bless you and your channel, just love the knowledge you have and sharing it with all of us, and always look forward to you videos.

Thanks so much!
Thanks for this, Chris. I needed to hear something along those lines
Thank's for this video. Just what i needed.
👍👍‼️
We mark our time on this world with small moments, they are important. Maybe not to the greater collective, but they are important to us.
Well spoken Facts thanks Chris
🖤💛🖤
I'd go with philosophy's over facts. I'm probably really wrong.
Chris,
One of your best videos.
Thanks!
Great vid and nice gold
Thanks 👍Allen Watts Chris was present
Great vid mate couldn't have said it better.
I respect prospectors. They help improve the economy.
Nice!
Bendiciones...m
Really well said
Very insightful and descriptive 👍
Well said. That’s quality content 🔥
Wise words. Cheers for the vid Chris :)
Really enjoyed this style video Chris.
Love this. I think you need adversities to grow and appreciate all that life is.
Yes sir. It found me after a long stressful day.
Good to hear
Wow man. So deep.
Love you words of wisdom and life experiences
Most of the time a lot goes un noticed, but the way you said it makes every small thing count.
I think you Ozzies would say, "good on ya" for the spider - too many people carelessly disregard such small life
No, this actually comes to me at the beginning of a very long journey 1480.6 km. I must leave at 1:30 AM Friday morning and be back by Saturday evening around 5 PM interesting video book you’ve created there. It’s not my cup of tea as I am a highly motivated individual, but I can definitely appreciate the time effort, and thought processes that you put into this. and it was very well crafted. as I was watching it, I could definitely see how these things might’ve been running through your mind at the time, but I could also see that with the footage of that day, you could probably create at least five different videos with different fields and stories to them, and the best part of it is knowing that you brought gadzee out there the next day after you found a great spot, and wanted to share it with him, and how different that day was from the day before when you were alone, both of them excellent days on the creek, one was time to reflect on whatever your mind desires, and the other having a great time was a good friend i’m hoping we get to see that day from your perspective as we’ve already seen it from his. Thanks for sharing. See you on the next one.👍🏼👊🏼
The worlds best jumper too!
Second best. I have to spruke my own merch lol
How can I like this twice?!
Good upload, Chris!!
Love it
By sharing it 😊
@@VoGusProspecting done.
You're my go to for my dopamine gold rush when I can't get out.
Give fern a snugg in her belly from North Okanagan.
@@VoGusProspecting my love of my life (whom I shared the video with) loves your "tiny chainsaw! So cute!"
No worries, man ... she's more about it being compact and red. I've wanted one for camping ... and ummmm it's red?
Makes me feel better after the trip I went on today to a nearby creek in a very steep valley that was so completely overgrown I couldn't get to the water. Not a single pan, but it was a really beautiful hike. I did get one tick, but those aren't as valuable or shiny as gold.
gold cool but your words of insight is my favorite part.
Great video man
This video reminds me of Levi’s videos, I love it, make more like this ❤️ the motivation is contagious
Huge fan btw
This sums up my last trip to New Mexico. Thanu you this was great.
