That was a classic Dog-With-Stick poster shot. Your dog's a star. I have a cat at home, she's now 20yrs old and still brilliant company, follows me everywhere, even to the Bathroom. If I go to make a cuppa tea I'll turn around and she's there at my feet waiting for me. Animals are very much the best Anti-Depression Treatment available.
Hi Chris. Very informative video. I use the same technique with a huge dolly pot made of an old fire extinguisher. I then put the crushings through a kitchen flour sieve as I find this is a perfect size to work with and makes panning a whole lot easier. Anything that doesn't go through I keep on crushing till it does. Some tips for you are safety glasses and earplugs, also make a longer dolly bar with a wide bottom so you can stand up and bang away using both arms and your body weight. The bar I made is 11kg and is 5"5 long for example and does an excellent job. Lastly put a big hose clamp with rubber underneath on the outside at the very top of your dolly pot to reduce the ringing sound. Hope this helps mate.
That was really cool video crushing all those different rocks looking for gold. Also starting to look like Colorado down there in Australia with all that snow!
911 mining & Prospecting you are in BC Canada right?..I remember not long ago you were pretty pissed with the logging there,:so did they clean it up better?..Also noticing you've found some of their work to be a advantage,and less work for yourself for identifying gold bearing areas?...
Snow????? The times are a changing!!! Thank you for condensing 911 Minings many vids into one easy lesson. I also follow them and they are very technical and very on point about where they are and what they're finding. Your short version today was brilliant. Somewhere there is a reef where you are and I can't wait til you find it. That was a very good vid Chris, really enjoyed it :)
Coming from Idaho, USA, I did get a laugh at the “snow” at the beginning of the video. Great video! I’d love to see a nice vein discovered and pulled out. Good work!
Up here in Alberta,Canada I had a little laugh with that one as well,being we see winter at least 6 months of the year,but can say we've been really spoiled the last few years with warmer weather for spring and fall,but no help or good for fire seasons!..
Very interesting video, Chris. In my area, which i quite recently identified that it is a gold bearing area, collecting "the pieces" that old fellows left behind, i find alluvial gold, but i haven't managed to find yet any big specimens, only tiny. I have crashed quartz from different spots, having different colors, mineralization, shape, opacity etc, with almost no success. Well, persistence is the key, i believe and of course knowledge of the geology of the area, in which field i'm new. Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration for us, first of all with your high informative videos, and then with your great personality and character. Thank you!
you are really good at making your videos very upbeat and educational. i hope this channel grows really big and brings you lots and lots of money lol keep up the good work.
Chris this was great man! The epic slow mo beard bounce around 9:26 is amazing, rhythmic rock destruction, your camera and editing work continues to improve leaps and bounds. Thanks for the great info on reef deposit indicators. I'm from the mountains in California, so your snow makes me laugh, but it's beautiful nonetheless so enjoy!
Hi Chris, even though this is a video of a difference, it is still a great video as your explaining so much about what sort of tell tale signs to look for rock wise and just how rock structure is formed. The best part is your doing it in common & easy to understand language which is perfectly suitable for us viewers. Thank you for your attention to detail and the manner in which you go about things.
GREAT video Chris! Always get excited when I get a notification when you upload a new video. Always learning something different! Thanks for your hard work!
911 Prospecting sure does know his rocks.Ive been watching his videos a bit lately,and honestly it sounds foreign to me.lol..It sure is a bonus to get even as much as self education from posts like his.Good luck!..I will be hitting up the North Saskatchewan River in the next 2 weeks here in Alberta,Canada..Cannot wait!
Great vid :-) LOVE the snow!! Wish you could cast your eye on my bush block, it has very interesting and unusual geology. My gut feeling is there is gold there and now, they've just announced that there is a huge brand new international gold mine opening up nearby. Unfortunately I don't get there as often as I'd like due to other work commitments and complicated medical issues. Several very different sections of very complex and unusual (done in official studies) geology over the property and of course, plenty of roos, wombats and occasional deer. Seasonal creeks both shallow and really steep and deep. One that's about 2m wide at top, 1m wide at bottom but about 2-3m deep. Another section is about 20+ acres of heavy quartz (and trees) has had me intrigued from when I first got it. As I'm only new to this, I find it all just a bit too complex for me myself at this point in time. I love your channel, you and Zoe are a great pair. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to show us what you do. Thanks, have a great day :-)
But a bunch used to all ends of the weather.lol..In Alberta we have a saying if you are asked about how's the weather going to be,we just say ask in 5 min.lol..It can change in that little time for real
As always,great video. I’m already subbed to 911- they r very good at geology and knowing where to find gold based on fantastic knowledge. They just uploaded an awesome video on culvert gold- felt chuffed for them.i hope there will be a follow up when they return there. Oh and the clear out of the back of the truck was fantastic too.aswell as their usual prospecting 👌☺️ Best wishes sent.
Nice video Chris, I enjoyed the different topic. I watch that 911 channel as well. Honestly astounded! I never thought I would see you getting snowed on. I have learned a lot from 911 over the last several months and am looking forward to collecting my own samples!
You handled it well my old southern hemisphere friend. I heard only the slightest tremor in your speech : D no panic, your a true tough as old leather mountain man!
Chris, great video as usual. The only thing is, please cover your crushing station when crushing to avoid breathing in the fine particles of quartz and stone. This can lead to lung disease which is not fun to live with. Unfortunately I forgot what that disease is called but I'm sure someone out there will know. Enjoy the snow!
Greetings from the US mate! I really enjoy your videos. I got the gold bug/ I live in North Carolina about 30 miles from the biggest gold find on the east coast.
Thankyou...I appreciate your efforts if this video is done for why I think it may have been done. If not...good coinsidence! Keep up the great work . your back in knackered right? How bad is that crusher on it?
@@VoGusProspecting That has to make shaking a full pan fun . i don't know how they habe made it this far but at this point my shoulders are not too bad. Turns out being active for extended periods of time is...less than ideal conditions and is horrible for the body. Lol. Who would have known? . i just found out some first rate information on solveing my quest for finding good propper minerals. This is big but so helpfull. A Geological History of the Adirondacks Contrary to popular belief, the Adirondacks are not geologically related to the Appalachians. In fact, they are the only mountains in the eastern U.S. that aren't geologically Appalachian. They actually belong to a much older formation known to some as the Canadian Shield, as the Laurentian Shield to others, and as the Precambrian Shield to the rest. This is a huge formation, underlying about half of Canada (it was noted that Canadians more often refer to it as the Canadian Shield, while Americans prefer Precambrian Shield). The formation extends down through the Thousand Islands region of The Trap Dike on Mt. Colden from Avalanche Pass. the St. Lawrence River Valley and into the Adirondacks. Adirondack rocks are most closely related to rocks found in what is known as the Grenville Province, an ancient formation north of Lake Ontario and east of Lake Huron. As a whole, the rocks making up the Adirondack region are amongst the oldest on the planet, around one billion years old. For the Adirondack bedrock to consist of the minerals that it does, it must have formed underneath 15 miles of overlying rock. Sediment building up on the bottom of an ancient sea, covering the present-day eastern seaboard, was forced lower and lower by more and more sediment, until it finally metamorphosed under the intense heat and pressure into the rocks we see today, a billion years later. After repeated uplifts spanning hundreds of millions of years, including one that is continuing today at a rate of 2 to 3 millimeters per year, and constant erosion of the sedimentary layer above, the ancient bedrock finally reached the surface. The rock that makes up most of the High Peaks region is Anorthosite. This rock, more often found well underground than at the Earth's surface, apparently is very common on the moon. The photo to the right shows the Trap Dike on Mt. Colden. This giant cleft, which runs nearly to the summit of the mountain (and, incidentally, is a possible climbing route from Avalanche Lake), was formed by the erosion of the softer gabbro that had intruded into the anorthosite bedrock. It is conceivable that the dike will only get deeper, judging by the large volume of water that, although hard to see here, was flowing through it at the time this photo was taken. The rest of the Adirondacks are made up of various different rocks, mostly some form of gneisse. Another common misconception is that the Adirondacks are just old, worn-down peaks like the Appalachian chain. Yes, it is true that at one point Upstate New York was at an elevation rivaling, if not exceeding, that of the Himalayas today. However, most of the major features of the landscape that you see today are a result of the last Ice Age, 10,000 years or so ago, and the most recent uplift of the region, which probably began about 5 to 10 million years ago. The huge boulders often seen lying around the Adirondacks, sometimes in places you wouldn't expect to see them (such as the summit of Mt. Marcy or in an otherwise rock-free meadow), are by-products of the glaciers. Known as erratics, they are picked up by the moving ice sheet and dropped when the glacier receded. Since the mile-high summit of Marcy was itself covered by ice a mile thick, it was no more immune to receiving an erratic than a valley 4,000 feet lower. [As a side note, before there was widespread acceptance of glaciers and the Ice Ages, a popular explanation for these erratics was that a vast ocean covered these lands, and the boulders just floated to where they are now. Personally, I am more inclined to believe in two-mile thick sheets of ice than I am in a 15-ton boulder floating to the 5,344-foot summit of Mt. Marcy.] Erosion continues, exposing more and more bedrock. Major new slides form on the flanks of the taller peaks rather frequently, sweeping away large patches of soil and vegetation. Another major geological/geographical feature caused by the uplift of the region is the many fault lines throughout the Adirondacks. A simple glance at a topographical map will show that these faults, for the most part, all lie in a northeast-southwest orientation. Long Lake and Indian Lake, about 15 miles apart as the crow flies, run nearly parallel to each other. Nearly all the passes and valleys in the High Peaks run in the same general direction: Indian Pass, Avalanche Pass, Lake Arnold Pass, the Johns Brook Valley, the Ausable Valley, Hunters Pass. These valleys, lakes, and passes exist where faults weakened the bedrock, allowing it to be more easily eroded by glaciers. I know some of these places. This explains why i find platinum flakes...everywhere.loads and loads of them, Its crazy.
I did it! Just posted a vid where I got gold from quartz! I was watching this the other day and thought I want to find some! I finally found somewhere near me to look (normally it's 3-8 hour drive for gold) couldn't believe my eyes! Honestly blew my mind, felt more exciting than finding a nugget with a a detector or finding one in a creek. Now to relearn everything! Just wanted to drop by and report on my findings after watching this! Thanks for sharing Chris!
Nice vid,Chris,yes,wet samples stucks Seriously in crushers bottom.Global warming is causing weather madness,never snowed here,but we have new kind of storms getting stronger along time.Ten minutes storms,coming from nowhere,strong wind,40 to 60 mm and LOTS of lightings,along ten minutes
Stil love your vids! Lots of info that helps along the way. Still on the east coast of the US and find the info relavent to me. Say hey to Pauly for me. Cheers!
Hi Chris. Where im from, which is the same place as you, its sleet. Not having a dig mate, just letting you know. Sleet is that last step before snow. Sleet is more solid like what you experienced. Snow as in flakes fall slowly and quietly. Cheers.
Here ya go mate - What is sleet? “Sleet is a mixture of rain and snow and is a kind of winter precipitation. During wintry weather, snowflakes can go through a warmer layer and begin to melt as they fall towards the ground. Ice pellets in sleet are much smaller than hail pellets.”
Hey chris you should have lit a fire to : A, stay warm and : B burn the quartz first. Then dunk it in a bucket of water while still red hot. Makes it a lot easier to dolly. Although if it contains arsenopyrite you dont want to be sniffing the fumes.
Wow...snow and sleet in Australia??? What's next..44 c temps in my state.😬 i gather samples during my prospecting outings and then crush them while watching your channel. Label..label..label your samples. Nothing is worse than finding gold ore and forgetting where you got it from😌
nice video, have you ever encountered a mineral called Antimony ? i have a heap of quartz i want to crush with what has been suggested to be Antimony on it which is apprently toxic, not sure how to handle it currently so its set aside
Here in the states we got (last week) a picture of an animal preserve with Tasmanian Devils playing in the snow. Your snow's gone worldwide. Good vid! So, if you find a rock with a piece of the vein, what do you do then? Look upstream, uphill, or underfoot? Or all of the above? (date 6/8/2019)
NICE WORK. WHEN YOU FIND THE GOLD BEARING ROCK PUT GRIZ TO WORK. LET HIM SMELL IT AND SEE IF HE CAN FIND YOU SOME MORE. HE SEEMS TO LIKE GETTING INVOLVED AND TURNING OVER ROCKS. ONE NEVER KNOWS ALL THE POSSIBILITIES. CONGRATS ON THE SNOW, THAT'S DIFFERENT. GREAT JOB AND WANT TO SEE MORE CRUSHING VIDEOS.
Mom says hello

Felt guilty the whole time

Your latest paydirt video is mint man!
Great video boss. I really like 911 prospecting as well - It's making me geologically smarterer!
There alright I guess 😛

Appreciate the shoutout. 😁 Excellent video by the way👌
Now come over hear and help me find this reef!
This is probably my most watched channel on UA-cam! You got some Amazing skills my friend.
Seriously love your videos, thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge.
That was great. I am so Thankful that you share your knowledge Chris, which I am sure you have worked hard on achieving. 👏👏
Snow????? The times are a changing!!! Thank you for condensing 911 Minings many vids into one easy lesson. I also follow them and they are very technical and very on point about where they are and what they're finding. Your short version today was brilliant. Somewhere there is a reef where you are and I can't wait til you find it. That was a very good vid Chris, really enjoyed it :)
That was awesome. Thanks as always. I’d be more than happy learning a bit of rough geology from you in future vids as well.
It'll be very rough lol
Have had loads of success doing this thanks to these vids Chris and grizz are great to watch
Thank you for the easily understandable way you present the content of your videos. I find them very inspirational.
Coming from Idaho, USA, I did get a laugh at the “snow” at the beginning of the video. Great video! I’d love to see a nice vein discovered and pulled out. Good work!

you are really good at making your videos very upbeat and educational. i hope this channel grows really big and brings you lots and lots of money lol keep up the good work.
Haha, thanks bro
Great video. Very intetesting, thankyou. Snow at 400mts, incredible.
Sweet video yup weather is challenging all over mineralization is a key thing awesome video be safe
Thanks Chris..... That is one of my favorite type of mining. Crushing quartz has been really good for me. Alot of my gold comes from it.
I bet!
Keep it up man. Appreciate all the work you do for these videos.
Thanks mate
Chris this was great man! The epic slow mo beard bounce around 9:26 is amazing, rhythmic rock destruction, your camera and editing work continues to improve leaps and bounds. Thanks for the great info on reef deposit indicators. I'm from the mountains in California, so your snow makes me laugh, but it's beautiful nonetheless so enjoy!
Figured most people watching would be like ppfft, you call that snow.
Very insightful Chris thanks 👍
Whether it's hot or cold, the gold is out there waiting for you. Keep warm mate ! Enjoyed the video !
First in best dressed, theres no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing
So true !
At 8:23.. Your dog is like, what the hell is he doing? Lol
Grizzly is a big fur ball of curiosity
Hi Chris, even though this is a video of a difference, it is still a great video as your explaining so much about what sort of tell tale signs to look for rock wise and just how rock structure is formed. The best part is your doing it in common & easy to understand language which is perfectly suitable for us viewers. Thank you for your attention to detail and the manner in which you go about things.
Another good video Chris very informative I've learned a lot from you I appreciate the time you take to share with everybody thank you and peace out
Great video. Very informative. Thanks heaps 😊
OMG Chris keep this up and I might learn something! Thanks for yet another great Video.
Awesome man , thanks heaps for ya work .
Get out the snow shoes. Very good information. Since watching your videos and 911s, I look at rocks a lot differently. Thanks Chris.
luckily most of it dissolved by the time it hit the ground!
GREAT video Chris! Always get excited when I get a notification when you upload a new video. Always learning something different! Thanks for your hard work!
911 Prospecting sure does know his rocks.Ive been watching his videos a bit lately,and honestly it sounds foreign to me.lol..It sure is a bonus to get even as much as self education from posts like his.Good luck!..I will be hitting up the North Saskatchewan River in the next 2 weeks here in Alberta,Canada..Cannot wait!
As always, I appreciate the education you provide to us all.
Stay warm mate.
Thanks mate

Super informative Chris thanks so much!!! Great video!!! I’ve thought of crushing rocks myself and even brought some home just haven’t tried
The old local miner here calls them rainstorms a "F**king Deluge!"
Nice video Chris good sniping weather 😁 that video was a good education for me thx for sharing 👍🏼
Another great video, keep up the good work and good luck with your search for the golden treasures 👍🤠
I live in Northern Vt, USA, and we just got ride of all our snow not long ago. The last thing i wanna see is snow LOL. Great video btw.

This explains why i find platinum flakes...everywhere.loads and loads of them, Its crazy.
Love the channel! Keep up the good work. Tell Grizzly he's got the best lips on UA-cam!
I'd say so
Very nice video!!!!! Excellent information
Thank you, great info
Thank you!
1:11 - he’s like WTF is that lol
I did it! Just posted a vid where I got gold from quartz! I was watching this the other day and thought I want to find some!

Very interesting Chris.I'm just about to watch 911 New video
Loved this xx
Great video! 👍👍👍
Love your videos mate
Thanks love your channel 😀👍
Thanks mate
Enjoyed the video, love grizzly in his coat, snow ❄️, crazy 😝
He hates rain so I had to get him a water proof fur lined coat. Lives a life of luxury I tell you!
Nice vid,Chris,yes,wet samples stucks Seriously in crushers bottom.Global warming is causing weather madness,never snowed here,but we have new kind of storms getting stronger along time.Ten minutes storms,coming from nowhere,strong wind,40 to 60 mm and LOTS of lightings,along ten minutes
Nice info mate thanks
Thanks mate
What are you using to crush the rocks? I'f got some rocks I want to crush, but dunno how to do it safely and effectvely
Brilliant info .. thankyou .. Now where did I leave that reef !!
Stil love your vids! Lots of info that helps along the way. Still on the east coast of the US and find the info relavent to me. Say hey to Pauly for me. Cheers!
Hope you're finding some man
Good job. !!
That is sleet Chris. The last step before snowing.
Where im from that's snow lol
Hi Chris. Where im from, which is the same place as you, its sleet. Not having a dig mate, just letting you know. Sleet is that last step before snow. Sleet is more solid like what you experienced. Snow as in flakes fall slowly and quietly. Cheers.
Here ya go mate - What is sleet?
“Sleet is a mixture of rain and snow and is a kind of winter precipitation.
During wintry weather, snowflakes can go through a warmer layer and begin to melt as they fall towards the ground.
Ice pellets in sleet are much smaller than hail pellets.”
Cool video Chris 🥶👍🇦🇺🍻
As you know, here in England we're in our summertime, but our weather is much the same as yours is now LOL :)
*shouts in Australian* you call that a summer
awesome info! Cheers
Hey chris you should have lit a fire to : A, stay warm and : B burn the quartz first. Then dunk it in a bucket of water while still red hot. Makes it a lot easier to dolly. Although if it contains arsenopyrite you dont want to be sniffing the fumes.
I seriously considered it, fires in winter a fantastic!
Wow...snow and sleet in Australia??? What's next..44 c temps in my state.😬 i gather samples during my prospecting outings and then crush them while watching your channel. Label..label..label your samples. Nothing is worse than finding gold ore and forgetting where you got it from😌
Ive learned shit-loads from you and 911 prospecting. Thank you!
911 is the no.1 resource for ore in my opinion.
@@VoGusProspecting for sure. I live in Georgia and had no clue what gold ore looked like until i learned from him.
This is what me and my brother been doing. Looking for where gold may be coming from. And new spots to pan 😁
That's all I do too bro
nice video, have you ever encountered a mineral called Antimony ? i have a heap of quartz i want to crush with what has been suggested to be Antimony on it which is apprently toxic, not sure how to handle it currently so its set aside
Here in the states we got (last week) a picture of an animal preserve with Tasmanian Devils playing in the snow. Your snow's gone worldwide. Good vid! So, if you find a rock with a piece of the vein, what do you do then? Look upstream, uphill, or underfoot? Or all of the above? (date 6/8/2019)
You would follow it by finding more pieces up stream. Eventually you'd end up 'loaming' but that's another video.
NICE WORK. WHEN YOU FIND THE GOLD BEARING ROCK PUT GRIZ TO WORK. LET HIM SMELL IT AND SEE IF HE CAN FIND YOU SOME MORE. HE SEEMS TO LIKE GETTING INVOLVED AND TURNING OVER ROCKS. ONE NEVER KNOWS ALL THE POSSIBILITIES. CONGRATS ON THE SNOW, THAT'S DIFFERENT. GREAT JOB AND WANT TO SEE MORE CRUSHING VIDEOS.
Great video again Chris love your work. By the way i can see your Biceps and pecs growing by the minute as you crush the ore. 💪🏻💪🏻
I really liked this video.. thanks bud
Thanks mate
Nice work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
love the rock crusher
Kalgoolie special
