    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...

    Yeah it's a re upload. Why, you ask?
    Well, long story short. I have a bunch of stuff on the back end I'm trying out.
    Not a great reason I know.
    I have heaps of new content coming out. However I'm currently working on my prospecting course and that's taking so much of my time. Editing is taking a lot longer.
    Give me some grace to try this back end stuff, and I'll have new content out on the weekend.

      You should sharpen your flat chisel and also have a spike chisel It will help with busting up the vein and a spud bar for making easy work of those widow makers

  • @christihanyi5538

    Small suggestion maybe? Instead of chiseling straight into a pan, get a large sheet of plastic to lay under where you are working, this will allow a little more freedom with how you chisel and catch bits that might possibly fly and miss falling into your pan. You'd then lift the plastic and slide everything into your bucket.

      most prospectors do that, but here they are making a video, and as such they have to expedite their work due to day light hours and help the speed of material recovery and processing. great idea though if your looking to collect more ore in one go......... :)

    I still think you should put a couple of old socks over the outputs on your crusher. Seems it would cut down the dust by about 80% or so? Great finds.

  • @reconnaissance7372
    @reconnaissance7372 9 місяців тому +2

    You made me realize that through your experience and knowledge, if you did stumble on a decent sized vein, tested it and it was producing an amount of gold that would cover the cost of a claim and additionally earn you profit you could set yourself up for life. Although personally to me it looks like you have it made. You really inspire me, I haven't really ever been able to keep a job. But mining gold at a hobbyist level to get by sounds like a dream. I know you have UA-cam too. But just being able to go explore for gold throughout Victoria sounds amazing. I went to Slaty Creek not long ago with my Father, was really my first time panning as an adult. I found some tiny specs, probably like one spec per pan. Honestly didn't expect that much. I probably wouldn't have been able to find those specs if it weren't for your videos on panning.

    if that ore sample was 10kg (guessing), and the ore grade remains stable (hopeful), then you have a 350g/tonne orebody. 11oz per tonne! Amazing find guys!!!!

    • @sugarnads
      @sugarnads 9 місяців тому +1

      If it was 11 oz per tonne it would have been worked continuously til nothing was left.
      1/2 oz per tonne is considered payable gold.

    • @wimmeraparanormal6581
      @wimmeraparanormal6581 9 місяців тому +3

      @@sugarnads yes you would imagine that, but without context, its hard to know. Many reasons for abandoning orebodies... partner dying, battery closing, patchy grades, claim owners getting easier work elsewhere. Ive found quite a few high grade patches of ore that went multi-ounce so not entirely rare.

    I noticed you said it cost 100,000 in permits to open your own claim. Some places in the us its as simple as finding land to stake claim and pay the 300-400$ reclamation fee. Some states require water license/permits but in america the money comes when you buy the equipment as any mine. I love your channel, im just getting into gold prospecting and your channel is one of many I watch daily.

  • @alastairwilliams9550
    @alastairwilliams9550 9 місяців тому

    The supergene and hypogene zones are referring to the state of the sulphides in the ore body. Gold won’t be remobilised by chemical weathering but the sulphides are weathered to oxides and are remobilised.
    below the supergene zone a large part of the gold will be bound up within the structure of sulphides (pyrite) and unable to be recovered without complex chemical treatments (cyanide leaching) so beyond the capabilities of either small scale or miners in the days of the gold rush even though it contained good gold content.
    In the oxidised zone the sulphide minerals have been weathered freeing the gold and allowing recovery by mechanical / gravitational separation (panning)

I couldn't believe it, then walking around a dam I picked up 3 bits of quartz and 1 was a specimen 😂 what luck, although panning I cannot find a single flake Haha. Great video Chris.
