    Some say vogus doesn't know what he's talking about but I know those people are just mad he is giving up secrets. I learned everything I know from vogus prospecting and watched every one of his videos. Now I frequent the creek and have found lots of gold, sapphires, jasper, zircons and topaz.i got inspiration from him to make my own gear like franken banker and much more. Thanks Chris for sticking to your guns. You are a great teacher.

      ​@johnturner5031 when you choose to use videos or even hands on lessons you take what you find works for you and use it and discard what doesn't...people who don't know that rule have a lot to learn about life itself before watching Chris' videos.

    Thanks I'm 74 and 'past it' but I would love to get out panning creeks again. I know it's hard work but if you love being outside and the bush as I do the fun is in the chase. I detected in WA and came up with 3 nuggets, 7, 5 and 3g each and was totally stoked especially the bigger one as I was sure it was another bullet but straight into the mouth and gold it was !! Thanks love your style, and to a mug like me great tips. Done a fair bit of panning around Sophala and often came up with specks. It's funny because as your doing the last swirls I found myself getting closer to the screen!! Take care.

    I can't say this about any of the people from other countries who are watching and not hitting the like button, but where I'm from, I'd say there can be only two reasons, the people in America, which is where I'm from, either have attention deficit disorder (ADD) and at this time are all out of their ADD meds and lost focus, or, they're older viewer's and have an extremely short term memory, and they either lose focus before hitting the like button that they had good intentions of hitting but just forgot to hit like before moving on to another video, because every single one of Chris' videos should have as many likes as there are views, and his videos should also be recommended by the algorithm a lot more than any other gold prospecting content creators on UA-cam. ❤

    Chris, I use the fine riffles of the pan to separate the black sand from the blonds. Tilt the pan whilst gently shaking side to side and the friction of the fine riffles holds the black sand. Oh and the gold. Makes the concentrated more manageable with just the black sand and only takes a few seconds to do.

    • @VoGusProspecting

  • @48thstateprospecting
    @48thstateprospecting 2 місяці тому

    Actually surprised you found any gold in those first areas that creek In flood has to get stripped clear to bedrock lol us as the flood waters recede velocity will drop a little and deposit small amounts very rarely do I see you or gadzee hitting higher banks away from the water your usually in the creek itself but there are great deposits in higher banks can you do a video on that? 😬 may take you a while to find a decent deposit as your not used to looking up there, the easiest way is the trenching method just look for the heavy tin streaks in the trench they will usually be not as compact as the surrounding dirt. Because once all the creek deposits are mined you might as well right? Great informative video thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

    Panning maybe involved in the crushing process, but it is called a prospectors pan for a reason. Panning isn’t actually mining, it’s meant to be used to find an area where gold is then follow the gold to the vein. Collecting dust is not really mining at all. It’s just a stepping stone to finding the lode

    Bro you always teach really well and in 98% cases you are correct but bro you should mod your comment on the black sands size etc because it' might be like that down there and it is 100% but up in nsw it's not always that way more is it down there it comes down to erosion and minerals and velocity ww have areas up here that the high-flown pushes the larger iron stone up higher iv pulled pickas out of mega fine black sands on the bends it can vary because of the width of that bend and it can change if it has a straight befor and after it then stuff won't settle but lol you know this I take it you got more bids coming ay bro p.s last part of vid was sick legend but lol up here and down there we can't under cut those banks no more some of my best alluvial been on edges that were eroded under neath and had lovely juicy false floors and that's another thing on the edges with bedrock there's a lot more decay I'll leave you to explain decomposition brother tag your it 😂😂😂😂.

    Good one bro. Some good tips there and explained well nicevand clearly. . My only issue is just that like when you're showing the inside bend.... well i was always taught that you should envision it as it would be when its in heavy flood. Not how you see it when its low. Because thats when most of the gold moves and is deposited. Not when its just trickling along. So would that little inside bend youre looking at now by following that low flow even be there ir be an inside bend in a flood season?
    Hed tell me thats one reason its trickier or different trying to read small creeks and gullies compared to bigger rivers with larger more defined boundaries.
    Anyway just a thoughtm
