Hi Cuts and WaZZ, I'm working as fast as I can to keep your fever down! Cheers ....
Best gold channel, thanks for sharing your journey. Love watching every episode. Many thanks.
I do not believe I have ever felt so invested, or to be honest, fascinated with someone's adventures chasing that good stuff in the ground ...you sir, if I have not commented before saying so, have truly captivated my mind with the sharing of your adventures...again I thank you 👍😁
Hi Ryan, you're inspiring me! I hope you're sitting down with a coolie when I drop The Elephant! Thanks for your support M8 ....
Best, most authentic gold videos I have seen in a long while, thanks for sharing some of your knowledge and great finds

Oh my God, you have done a fantastic job of portraying how great prospecting can be. I just can't comprehend how exciting a find like that would be. Thanks for the inspiration to keep at it and find my own little bit of yellow.
Cheers, waiting impatiently for the next video.
HI Dt, many thanks for your insight. It's a great life, gold comes in naturally if you like being in the bush. We have it easy these days with our vehicles, cold drinks and metal protectors. Cheers ...
great day out fam. loads of col info. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

Great name for a red reef👌👍🇦🇺
Thank you Hawk for your continued support. Cheers ....
Thanks mate cracking watch👌
Love your videos. and what a setup, Your a real modernday oldtimer. 😀 Greetings from BC.
This is what dreams are made of 🤠, I wish NSW laws were that same as WA.
Thanks guys now iv got the worst case of gold fever and iv got to go and satisfied it somehow after watching these videos
Hi Busted, WARNING: Don't watch my upcoming Elephant Reef video! You'll be gasping on the floor with Da Fever. Cheers ....
Excellent. I've been asked about loneliness when out prospecting, but when you're on the gold there's no time for that and at night when you're stuffed all you're thinking about is which direction do you chase. As for supplies beer and rum are when you consider critical levels of needing to do a town trip. Well done again. Cheers. 🍻
HI SPR, M8, thanks for your support. I can see that you know what's what. A good book is your best friend Out-There, oh and a sack of gold is comforting too. ;-) Cheers ...
Excellent.
Awesome stuff mate, Cheers!
Again with the insight into the geology and reading the ground.... Love it! Can't get enough. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing the next one 😲
Thank you.
Andy
This is my favorite so far. Great story telling!
Thanks Jeffries, hope to keep you entertained ;-) Cheers M8
It's like a fun vacation , with a lot of work. Good luck!
Really enjoy your videos.
Good job on the bread.🇨🇦
Love this stuff. enjoying the videos, its a part of prospecting that you don't really get to see.
Glad you enjoy it!
Yep, that "Nuggecillin" is good stuff, I had somethin similar when I dug a hole on the sapphire fields long time back, dawn till dusk, they just kept comin in every bucket for 2 weeks, hardly even stopped for eats, 500 stones later I'm done and dusted. 300 of them were pretty much rubbish so I gave them to a mate to put in his fish tank to make it look all perty like, he never did, he's still got them in a jar, I laugh to myself whenever I think of it. Enjoyed the video a lot, thanks for going into detail and marking out the various reefs.
HI Shaun, I hope you have an over-dose of Nuggetcillin this year. heheheee. It's magical stuff how it can cure all aches and pains. Cheers ....
@@prospecting101 What aches and pains, don't know what your talkin about. hahaha
Awesome content mate 👍
Thanks for your videos. You lead a hard but wonderful life! Many congratulations to you for your efforts. 👍🏻
Another great yarn. I hope people understand the amount of work involved. The Professor and I do. 1am - 2am He He
Hi RePete, The Professor understands all things ......
Other miners should pay you to find them ground! Ive watched a lot of Aussie’s on UA-cam digging gold and I’ve never seen such a gold hound as yourself. I wish I lived there, I’d certainly pay you for your knowledge.
Hi Juju ... hehehee that's what we used to call our 2nd daughter. Cool name huh? Thank you for your kind words. Imagine going to the football game and dropping a heap of cash on the ground from a drone ... The crowd would go berserk! That's kinda like how it is in the little gold towns in WA. Once, I was getting some fuel, and when I came back from paying ... There was a chap looking through my windscreen at my maps! Hungry Dogs starve 'cuz they don't find their own metal. OK! Cheers M8
Woo hoo you rule! Awesome find and work
Great stuff m8
great stuff mate
Was very happy to see your video and read your stories. I hope you found plenty of gold at the Purple Mine. I once ate at the Putple Restaurant in Alberta Canada. Plus there a person on utube called Purple Squirrel
Hi DJ, you're giving me ideas for the next find! The Purple Emu? Purple Brown Snake ??? Naw, that one doesn't work. hehehheee Cheers ...
Thanks for another great video. I'll have to get off my date and make some damper when we get back to our holiday place in Gippsland for Easter
Hi Dazz, yea, some fresh damper is the best huh? I do like it toasted too over the next few days. You have to get the coals just right but. Cheers ....
Cheers from PNW Canada! I subbed you a few days ago as I have found your adventures in mining, and your finds, quite a wonderful vicarious experience and if I were a younger version of me I'd be begging to join ya man! You are so right about silica exposure! Stay safe and wear your PPE/masks etc. like its second nature, I cringe when I watch others crushing without it and/or camps down-wind, sometimes common sense ain't so common. Back to binge-watching yer vids and catching up on the Pink Parrot, beauty find!
G'Day Og, many thanks for your supportive comments! And yes, that dust is the worst, I basically have stopped crushing quartz due to the risk. Let the Heavens free our gold! heheheee Cheerio .....
@@prospecting101 Thank you for the kind reply mate, I had a wee idea for freeing gold up from quartz and rock, without any dust, by doing it with water in the mortar/crusher, then you could just pour the slurry off later after running it. Probably kinda dumb idea but I thot I'd fling it your direction for consideration. Anyhow regardless have an awesome day and more adventures, all the luck to ya man!
Would love to see some blasting!
It never ceases to amaze me how much "damage" one man can do, given the proper tools. I have a dump truck of respect for your skills!
Your parents certainly didn't waste your college tuition!👍👌
Oh, and a big thank you in behalf of the local critters.
Hi Randy, thanks for your comments. Yea, it's fun making a mess, but I always clean it up (eventually). The WA bush is a giant place, most of it inaccessible by vehicle. And that's where you'll find me! and those local critters. I have a heap of film on the critters, have to start releasing some of it soon. Cheers ...
Hey just found your channel I' m a chef and a gold prospector. Thanks!
Just bought bolly pot like it but going to get a rock crusher. Its lot pulverizes the rock.
Hi Chef, you see my nugget stew? heheheheee Cheers ....
Its very rare to see those with grand work ethics....I love watching the videos that show us all if worked hard enough just about any dream can and will come true
Hi TR, thank you for your kind words. It's the gold fever that drives us! Never get thirsty, hungry or tired. I guess because there's "No rush in the gold rush" and life is good when you're just enjoying being in the bush. Cheers ...
Recognise Sandstone pub there. Mind you, there is a bit less outside the pub back then than now
101, Troopy the only way to go Gold prospecting. 😅
Bloody awesome 👍 Yep, dont go bush without a Toyota. Those older 70 series are still worth a small fortune at the moment. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us. Cheers
Couldn't agree more!
I've always wanted to come to Australia to hunt for gold
Hit me up next trip I would love to learn from your vast knowledge in the goldfields. I’m packed ready to go at a days notice. 😎
It looks like hard work and a lonely existance. But if you don't mind the toil and you enjoy your own company, I guess it would be really enjoyable. Not sure I could hack it, even if I had the knowledge and equipment. Bring on the Elephant! Thanks for sharing. From UK.
Hi UKJohn, thank you for your continued support. The Elephant is still in its cage, will be released soonest! Yea you have to like being alone, but like the bush foremost. Some people don't and think of ways to not be there. After a month or so you go feral and don't want to get back to the city! That first car that passes you on the street makes you choke on its fumes. But ... I don't like the heat so get a summer holiday in the library ;-) Cheers ....
Stratafying
Make fry bread,like a thick 🥞
Absolutely love seeing these videos and how you have kept them for so long before releasing them smart no one can track down your location . Could only imagine what you are actually attempting at this present time. Well done ⛏⛏ keep the videos coming.
Hi Jason, many thanks for your comment. I thought I'd better get these videos out there before they got lost forever. I'm still low-key, never was one to scale-up and get a D10 (love one but!). Cheers ....
Crazy landscape. Often wonder if I could dig a hole deep enough to get some of the Down under gold. Long dig from Ohio...
Hi Nuts .... hehehheeee Keep on digging, I'll see you on This Side. Cheers .....
One day I'll get out there. Still tons of gold just waiting to be found
where are the lizzards ,great to watch your work
Hi Kees, lizards coming up! heheheee Thanks for your comment, Cheers ...
😎✌️
Excellent work with the dig good vid of your camp i live in s,a and would like to cross the border on day for dig myself do you have to have a permit to prospect can you prospect anywhere or are there forbidden areas
Hi Alan, many thanks for your query. Yes, you need a Miners Right ot have a go. Then you can only prospect on open Crown Land. Problem is that all Crown Land is under lease ... So you need a special permit ... Or written permission from the leaseholder. Not the Wild West like it was in the 1980s ... Cheers M8 ... PS .. Look on dmp.wa.gov.au ... there's info on 'prospecting' that will help you ...
King Midas ... Hubby Frank would have cooked some Kangaroo Currys if he'd meet you , the Kiwi loved it ... The Kiwi was a freak fit and tough like you ... do you drink ginger tea ? 🍵
HiAndrea, I would have like some of Frank's roo stew! We used to eat goat in the early days, very lean and tasty feed ... But too busy now, just bust open a pack and whack in the camp oven hehehee. Oh, I like the 'Bush Tea" ... You know, that one that will save your life ... Cheers ,,,
Give me some of your gold😁
You must have so many hard drives with footage laying around, how have you kept this much footage for all these years
Hi Lachy, thanks for your insight. Yes mate, too many external hard drives just waiting to fail! Better get the vids edited and uploaded ASAP! Cheers ...
Thanks for your vids. As an experienced miner what your take is on Aussie gold hunters? Cheers
Hi John, thanks for your query. Uhhh, I better not say too much about that show. If so I'd have to get my slingshot out and call myself David heheheheeee. The only comment I'd make is that they should warn people about 1) The harsh Outback (some chap died a few years ago, he just raced out there unprepared) and 2) You can't just go prospect on ground under lease. BUT in general the show has been good for the industry. UA-cam channels probably wouldn't be so plentiful if there was little interest form the public. OK! Cheers ....
Bread looks better than the gold in my opinion lol they say a reef gets richer as it gets deeper have you found this to be true in your experiences? Great finds both of them thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
Hi again 48, thanks for your comment. Uh, the enrichments I'm finding do seem to get richer as they go down, just before they peter-out! But, I'm not a hard rock miner, better for the company to come in and drill to see what's at depth. Cheers ....
We want nuggs we want nuggs
Hi 007, I hope you want BIG nugs? Cuz I'm not going to show you 20 minutes of digging up a 1 grammer heheheee Cheers M8 ....
Gotta say fuck covid and well bloody done mate..wahoooo
Get some
Very interesting. Im glad you gave us this rundown of the history and process! Im in the USA and geology is a little different everywhere, isnt it? here when we hit caliche we stop, but im sure thats not always a good thing to do! all that work and stop? Noo! personally i would crush it and then run it thru a pulverisor after the dry washer and then a gold cube after that.. all that work and you may be missing 15- 50 percent.? maybe i dont know a damn thing? yes silicosis is a bitch. I schooled a young person doing rock counter tops with no mask and I told him It will kill you!
Hi TA, many thanks for your input. Yea basic geology is the same on the planet, some areas exposed to more erosions and movement and time, WA is one of the oldest places on earth. You really don't understand geologic time until you start finding a patch of gold, and knowing where the source is just marvelling at how much time it'd take to move a lump of gold a kilometre or more. Have to remember that all the gold is trying to get out into the ocean! Luckily for us there are a few traps along the way though right? hehehehe Yes it's the third wave of silicosis, those craftsmen working in the ornamental stone business. That's quartz dust is nasty! That's why I like to walk around and enjoy erosion from the gold gods, just picking up those shiny bits; but as I say, digging a hole is nice cuz you know exactly where the gold is ;-) CHeers ....
@@prospecting101 so here ancient rivers carried the gold and most of that wore away the original deposits. There have been large isolated pocket gold found in the desert and mountains as well. How was you find deposited? Placer..geothermal..lode?
bloody hell you really have done well at it in time, is the bubbles a tension breaker?
Hi FuzzZ, thanks for your comment. Yes, the soap breaks the tension of the water, you like the soap art I've made? hehehehee Cheers ...
@@prospecting101 kinda wish me old dad had gone to aus with me grandparents in the 70s, whole big country to explore, you make it look easy lol, shame about Morrison though, I like the channel keep it up mate
Something I have been curious of what have you every tried using a high pressure water hose pressure washer on the quartz i talking like 10k psi.instead of explosive ?
HI Carl, many thanks for your insight. Your water hose idea might work if you can get a bunch of water ... But this quartz is pretty hard, a sharp jack hammer bit just bounces off of it. Interesting thought but. Cheers ...
I thought this Washington usa
Do you still reef hunt? I mean with a lot of the ground being pegged out these days and all, or did you gain access to pre-existing leases. It seems like you can do as you please out there as long as you leave things the way you found it. Over in Victoria you'd be fined or locked up for using a jack hammer or explosives without a proper mine lease haha
Hi SS, thanks for your thoughts. M8, you'll get locked up here too if you're illegal mining. You got to keep it all above-board, those TV shows fail to let people know that you just can't go detecting where you please. Cheers ....
@@prospecting101 naturally, but over here it would cost you a 100k just to be allowed to use such equipment lol. Do you need a prospecting lease or exploration lease to use the power equipment over there? Also I've built a shaker deck wet plant for use in Victoria, what sort of crusher do you have there? I see Keene but have never seen that unit before?
Can I come there please to help
Looks like australia
Hi Robert ... Yes ... Western Australia. Or as the saying go ... WA = Wait Awhile ... Kinda like the Latino 'Manana" (sorry no mark on the n) ... Cheers ....
How do you secure your site and equipment when you have to go somewhere? There must be plenty of people keeping an eye on you that you don't know about.
Hi Keith, many thanks for your input. Well ... I don't leave until I'm finished my project. Cuz when I do, I have to be prepared to lose what I've left. Lots of poachers about, don't worry! Commando is the key. Cheers M8
is that van 4x4?
Hi Carlos, thanks for your comment. Yes, I think you're referring to the Landcruiser? It's a 4WD beast ! Cheers ...
This is a real Prospector,makes me mad all the lost reefs clowns have taken the evidence
Hi Cecil, I feel Ya! But hey, they don't know what to do, like babes in the woods. Should start up a service to help them find the source of their nuggets, huh? Cheers M8 ....
@@prospecting101 I’m hearing ya ,cheers 👍
Thats life, live away from idiots and problematic civilized areas,, we need to know the total amount of gold if possible ,, good luck man 👍
SAH, many thanks for your continued interest in my work. I was out bush for 6 months last year when Covid struck, happy to be away from all the insanity. Now ... the flu is hitting us hard! So ... Go bush again right?? Cheers ...
Are you a professional,or amateur prospector
Hi Tim, many thanks for your query. I'm a bit of both! However the taxman says I'm a professional so better do what he says .... Cheers ....
any Tasmanian tigers or any other rare/weird animals you see out there?
got any tales of tigers or anything?
Tassy tigers are in Tasmania, this is Western Australia on the West Australian mainland, A long way away....
Just wild dogs the size of Rottweilers in packs of 11 ,a 300 winmag is a must
And don’t bring ya missus out if she’s on her rags ,male kangaroo will be coming through your tent frothing at the mouth ,otherwise it nice and peaceful 👍
Hi Stu, heheheee I like Cecil's reply. He's right, the wild dogs have driven the farmers off the land, with their sheep and goats. The cattle have a better chance but the dogs are figuring them out. Luckily no 2-legged animals ;-) Cheers ...
Okay, its over, everybody can talk now...lol
I really enjoy these types of raw video, Raw..Just like the gold, lol
I dont enjoy "Production" videos as much, THIS IS REAL !! Thanks Again From Nova Scotia Canada... Im ready for "Elephant Reef" lol See Ya Next Time !!!
G'Day PRon, cheers for your support! M8, The Elephant Story is in the works, have to make it SPECIAL, cuz .. It was! Cheers .....
@@prospecting101 Awesome, I really enjoy your adventures, what I wouldnt give to be down under, BUT Ill have to live vicariously through your Fantasic Videos. Keep 'er comin Mate, Im here for ya !!
ALL RIGHT, Here we go again, all set to watch "The Pink Parrot Mine" Episode 13.... SOMEBODY HIT PLAY, EVERYONE SHUT UP ! hahahaha
