  • I’ve always wondered what is in the bottom of the loaming pits that I search for gold around so often! In this video I begin the task of re-digging out one that I found a lot of gold around.

    Gonna be a great little series James, you've got me hook line and sinker. Had to laugh at the credits at the end 😂

    Great work J to da M it's a big effort digging those holes gives you a rough idea how hard the old timers worked. Can't wait for the next parts.

      Cheers G to da Z, I think I will try and dig one from scratch soon but not by myself! It’s a lot easier walking around picking up bits from the surface but curiosity got the better of me here and I’m glad I did it now!
      There was some sweet candy in that hole😁

    G'day J. I've always wanted to dig a fresh loaming hole in between other existing loaming holes. Sometimes there will be a space between a run of loaming holes which is untouched. Maybe they camped there ? Hard bloody work but the reward would be great. I'm a raker and sometimes will spend half a day raking for no or little reward, but when it pays off its worth it. Most prospectors just wander around, I like to put some effort in like yourself. When it pays its usually good. Great video. Looking forward to more. Cheers Doc

    Nice work James, I hope you sang hi ho hi ho It's off the mine we go 😆I hope you do good mate. I had the same idea last Friday arvo, got a couple little one's late off a mullock heap and I thought, I wonder what could be in the bottom of that. Anyway, Thursday you'll see the old timers hole I'm talking about. Cheers Pete

      @piratescrew1869 your one sounds a lot better than mine, I only got a couple of bits, but it was at the end of the day and I didn't have time to really run over it or pull any material back, I'll have to head back. It would be interesting to wash some of the gravel and see if there is any fine gold.

    U would think the untouched sides where the gravel layer is would be the best bet, the oldtimers would of got the majority from the bottom i would say, but you just never know, they after all didn't have a magic stick back in their day!!!

    • @piratescrew1869
      @piratescrew1869  Рік тому

      I totally agree and with such a shallow pit they wouldn’t have tunnelled out like the deeper ones.

    Thank You for doing this , so WE don't have to.
    Surely everyone on the planet at some stage considered doing this.
    I myself have not the resolve to deal with the disappointment of doing all that work for zero reward and quitting very early on would be a certainty.
    I mean , the ol' timers stopped digging for a reason.
    Amongst one of your best tapes if not the best , so thanks again.
