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....
Yes honey, I hear how tired you are. I get exhausted just knowing how long you have driven and how far you hiked just to do what you love and provide awesome content for us! God bless you! ❤
The old timers literally threw away or missed anything smaller than their finger nail, Vogus is out here cleaning up what they were too lazy to sift through
Maybe we should let that Thurnberg kid know how environmentally conscious Vogus is. 😂
What's your point. Just because you've never checked?
@@davidneal2870 uhhh…. What?
Oh I understand now, I was suggesting that Chris was being environmentally responsible by helping clean up what the old timers left. Be it nails, metal scraps, etc., and of course gold that was missed.
@@davidneal2870 I mostly work with opal no interest in going out for gold mate :)
The old timers were getting the equivalent of $20.67 per ounce. How much work would you have done for that?
It wasn't worth their effort, while today, it's at $1,668.61 USD 1 oz, or $2,491.95 AUD 1 oz and is.
For those who say you could make more working at McDonalds, over a century ago townsfolk told the prospectors they could make more working at the saloon or livery stable.
Working for someone else was Not the reason the prospectors traveled to the gold fields, finding gold and adventure, the thrill of the hunt, the hope for a golden tomorrow was, and still is, the lure of prospecting. For those who have never found a nugget, or a fly speck of gold, they will never understand.
Follow that dream!
well said❤❤
This was a fun video! So nice to see you hanging out with a group! I'm sure you offered helpful advice.
One of my older brothers told me once "One reason to go golfing is to go golfing. The other reason is you get to be outside in nature for four hours".
I'd imagine it's similar for prospecting. You must "see nature doing its thing" on the hike to a spot.
Not to mention how good it is for a dog ...
He has the best hobby for a man with a dog.
Pretty much sums it up.
feeling like every new video i can see the gold fever rising. really cool watching the progression from panning flour predominantly to starting to find hard rock mines and detecting! always looking forward to new content !!
If you don't evolve you fall behind.
I am truly enjoying your videos being longer like this. Keep up the great work brother. I love watching your videos.
Fantastic weigh in Chris good luck with your Patron content you deserve every dollar.All the best from Scotland 🏴
“Awww Chris, they’re pickers let’s call them for what they are.”
“How many ore bodies have you processed lately?”
😂😂😂
The work might be hard.... The pay is crap..... But at least I'm smiling at the end of the day....😁😁😁😁😁😁
Great video Chris. 0.91 chunka! My biggest chunk of gold found panning is 0.81. Good to see your having fun. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Cheers
Thats a soil bit of gold at 0.81!
You need some quality gaiters!! It will give you some protection from that first strike action from a snake.
I'd like to see you melt all your gold down to a single cone! 😍 Way to go
I am watching you like for 3 years or maybe more but reason public videos by you are great and awesome and I just want to thank you for the great work and keep it up I wish all the very best to you ✌️💕💯💕💯💕💕💗💓🔥🔥🔥
Great episode! Loved it. Keep rocking it!
A local!! It’s so great seeing you drive all the roads I know and the places I grew up going to.
Work on your water Castic soda mix a little better. Use vinegar to neutralize the castic soda. You won't have to use as much water to Rinse everything off.
But it's amazing how much they throw away (the old timers) Yeah they were looking for the easy stuff when they could see...
Love the new multiple story line layout in your vids. It really works and more interesting (and better) to watch than other gold shows. I just love your filmmaking too.
Thanks for the support mate
awesome mate. im super jealous. not of you finding this gold, but of you being out there enjoying life like that. lots of luck and love to you my good man :)
Killer vid ... pure Vo-Gus brilliance.
You're the biggest Nugget I've seen a true find , cool episode , I could see school kids being fascinated with your geological passion & learning to turn a frown upside-down 👍
I was so hoping you would publish a nice long video today! I needed a Chris and Gadzee and Fernie Fix! Did Gadzee get a new smile? It is beautiful and I'm so happy for him! 👍😁❤ Lovin the Aussie snow! Thanks Chris for making my day! ✌
I had braces once I'm never going through that pain again
@@gadzee506 My oldest son is going through that now...it's very painful.
@@cindydifatta9012 yeah it's not good ya teeth feel.like wind-chimes when they tighten them. I had them for 3 years had perfect straight teeth for about 5 years and they went back to how they were before the braces. I've had heaps of problems with my teeth since having the braces.
@@gadzee506 OH honey, I get it. I have tons of problems with mine too. Hate that they are such an expensive and important part of our lives! I am honored that you replied to my message. You and Chris and Mick and the puppers make my day! Thank you Gad Zee. ✌
@@cindydifatta9012 they are so expensive and not a joy to get fixed. All good I normally reply to people :)
Hey Chris, quick tip mate, citric acid neutralises caustic so good idea to keep some close by also good after you have done your chemical bath
Wow, that was an amazing haul from quite a bit of work - all that skill you developed over the years really payed off! Great video! 👍
Love your channel! Honest and very educational....Keep it up!!!
Thanks for the support mate.
Definitely one of my favourite videos yet!
Thanks so much for all the effort you guys are putting in, it’s very entertaining 👍👍
Hi from the UK. Came across your channel yesterday. Its fascinating to watch. Amazing finds. I'm hooked now. 🙂
Nice find Chris, those hidden nuggets were the brightest l have ever seen.. looked amazing on my tv as my phone.. isn’t huge enough lol
Mate, your chanel is that entertaining you could simply read the phone book out loud and I would still enjoy watching it.
Legend 👍
Thanks for that
Love the longer vids mate. Great watch as always.
I have just got to say...WOW, CONGRATS, and I am so happy for you!!!
I walked over a coiled copperhead once, and despite being quite treatable, my stomach dropped and heart raced when I realized it. I can't even imagine the feeling with a Brown. Love your content and your advocacy for mental health, so don't get "Australia'd" please!
If your metal pan is galvanized (zinc coated), carefully painting it with dilute muriatic acid will make it nice and black.
Those hills look so cool with the trees, we have nothing like that in Minnesota, USA
That was wooftastic! Great gold bonanza. Can’t wait to get there in Jan with the caravan! Great tips
Dude, I love to see you excited, lol. Thanks and I hope you keep on doing what excites you!✌️
That was a truly satisfying episode. And good gold too!
I bought your book on prospecting a few years ago, I hope that soon the second version will appear, which has been pending since 2020
Tell me about it. Talk about procrastinating
Chris nice find for the week.
Thanks
Enjoyed watching your video great gold congrats. Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep up the great work.😃😃😃😃😃
Nice finds. Thanks for taking us along. Be well. UK.
In the mountains of Western North Carolina we call weathered quartz "saprolite"... not much gold but rubies and sapphires can be found... Love your vids and my girls love Fern...😎👍
Nice..I would be going back to that rock pile.supper nice gold
Crazy amount of gold great haul. Loving the ore videos. It seems if you find the right spot and willing to put in the time ore looks like the way to go. Especially on days where weather doesn’t permit going out. I am still shocked how well the lye works.
Its such an easy method and comparatively less dangerous than other methods.
Loving the longer shows.
Brother you got some legit skills and power on the punching bag. Always enjoy your enthusiasm and hard work. Have you tried using the spot free dish stuff in your panning water? Especially for the fine gold you're finding. Hoping you find a bucket of specimens with 5 OZ of gold in them.
DUDE ! I thought it was always sunny in the WideBrownLand ?
It has been gloriously warm and sunny here in Auckland !. Tee-shirt weather, Cobber.
Australia isn't real, we're all actors.
@@VoGusProspecting :D
I lived in that Movie-set for 8 years, in Sydney.
They were kind to me, I loved my time in our Cussies place.
I will go die in a ditch with you if it comes about again, just for the sake of tradition, and to redeem the many happy days I had.
I literally lived 3 minutes walk from the South End of Bondi . . . I didn't realise how lucky I was at the time.
Chris, PLEASE properly neutralize the sodium hydroxide (caustic) after it is done “cooking” ! Water is not the way. I would hate for Fern to accidentally drink from the tub you had it cooling in, or walk on the grass where you ran the water into the cup to dilute it! If you can’t get ahold of some HCL or citric acid, a few cans of coke or Pepsi will work in a pinch. Get some PH paper/strips as well and get it to a 6-9 PH before you pour it out! Even the residue on the outside of the cup can be harmful when it hits the water in the “cooling” tub!
I cut that from the video, I used citric acid. There's a lot that doesn't make the cut. Don't stress.
@@VoGusProspecting Great! Just want to make sure you and Fern stay healthy and safe!! Your videos keep me motivated in prospecting, and in life in general. Thank you!!
Love this channel as much as Victorian gold hunters channel both have great knowledge
Nice Video and nice gold! But here in Europa specially in Alps we have usually only 3 to 4 degrees Water temperature! And this temperature is in summertime while we have 28 degrees air temperature 😁.
In winter it's a little bit more colder... So we have fun at the creek with 10 feet of snow and 1 or 2 degrees water temperature 🌨️❄️😁
Sounds painful bro
Love this new format !
Holy cow Chris. Awesome video here brother. Definitely was worth it to watch. And that was funny watching your expressions on you revealing the gold from your multiple trips. As well as that gold nugget just from panning on the creek. And I definitely have to said that at the end of the this video was your biggest weight in yet. 😆👍
nice gold great job,of it .thank you for sharing the adventure
Quite enjoyed this and learned a bit. I enjoy your humor, as always. 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do a video with Levi and Pauly arldy cuz i heard u mentioned them ... (fingers crossed for Tasmania)
Ahhhhh yes the safety squint is back. Great video
Entertaining week Crispy, but the dust mask can go if you get a filter bag, they work well on the old rubber roller surface grinder at the work shop.
The chemical method works great wow that’s good looking gold my friend
Well done Chris!
Chicken wire? The small hole size one would be a good/quick classification for that machine.
I wish you could’ve got some video of that brown Snake . Congratulations on a great work week . Just remember in life some days you’re the bug some days you’re the windshield .
Thank you, I will try to get one on film. They are fast!
Pauly is just a different breed of man
The man who developed the Boogie Board recently died. He sold his invention and someone else made a lot of money with it. He wasn’t bitter. He said at the end of the day he would still be that guy out on the beach in a Speedo doing what he loved. He did go on to invent other things…but I love his attitude. It wasn’t money….it was a life.
Loving the new format. Can't wait to see the new website
Trev have you ever been on an outing with Chris Mick or Gadzee down at the creek panning for Gold
@@Spudscave chris and mick in Bendigo
Always very interesting and humorous at the same time! Nice one Vogus
Super job Chris! Don't forget the premium pieces draw premium prices!
great run! nice to the see gpx6 in action
the 23rd scoop is always the charm xD
Where the hell are your snake gaters?!!!! Even if yours have deteriorated as they do. You have enough gold to buy another pair. You could also buy a pair of waterproof snake boots. Those are very handy. A lot of people in the American deep South use those for hunting. They have several species of rattlesnakes and water moccasins, coral snakes and copperheads. All those except the coral snake have longer fangs than the brown snake, so you'd be pretty well protected.
You've done a lot to help me with my own PTST and depression and I've been able to get out to the creeks again, so I'd have a hard time if we lost you to a stupid mistake. Love ya Criss and miss Fernie and your own missus. Thanx for doin what ya do
Keep finding good Gold love to c ya crush more and see some good specimens with quartz. As a whole piece
I really really enjoy your videos brother. I just wish I could visit Australia one day.
Ya ,your snow is like our gold, and vice a versa.
I doubt the caustic soda is 'dissolving' the quartz but is dissolving the minerals in all the cracks in the quartz allowing it to disintegrate and release the gold.
No its dissolving the quartz.
Now that be some nice gold. Cheers from Canada and congrats !!
You set the hot plate to 4 in that last Costic soda vidya
Awesome video man!!
Thats good Mr Vogus. Well done. Thats a really fun week.
Con grats on the gold 🎉
We really enjoy you videos. so happy for you distant cousin....
Love from NZ
I wear snake boots, you should too! We have four different species of Rattlesnakes where I live, the biggest being the Timber Rattlesnake which can grow over 8 feet!
I am so happy for you mate. I am waiting to find a nice ore body for myself. Still looking. Give ferny a scratch for me.
28:00 NICE!!
Lets do this again next week, hells yeah mate! Cant wait, great nuggs and awesome video!
Dude ...that is awesome!
I'd hate to pay your water bill though...LOL
Great Video Chris!! LOVE these longer ones! 😉
Thanks Chris!
Swear I saw a spark. Love the material
Sir would one of those pointer detector speed identifieing what set off the bigger detecter?
Well done mate. Best of luck for next week
Congratulations buddy great find, I love your videos, been watching you for a long time, keep up the hard work and the video's coming
Do you have any information on Jesse ? She is a little beautiful girl!!
Pretty cool vid Chris, it's out there, I wish I could post you a pic of the mine I found in high desert of California maybe I can send you a shot in email. My bucket is full of ore I collected using gold monster in side walls.
Sounds like you are in for a good crushing party!
Great pickers Chris
Very nice now where can i get one of those metal pans from
Would it be beneficial to fire your ore and then use the caustic soda? Just curious to see.
I enjoyed this video as always.
I’m so enjoying your videos. I’m comparing techniques between you and Paula vs Dan Hurd and I keep having the same nagging question. Would the gold specimens be worth more than the gold extracted? I’m not judging anyone I’m simply asking for my own education. From one PTSD survivor to another; Keep up the great work on yourself!
Wait= was it snowing? We just got 37CM on Vancouver Island! Nice nugs!
Holy Wow Nice find 😁 . SKK .
I wonder how the investment to find these nuggest and specimens compares to what the old timers had to do/spend to get the large stuff but much lower priced gold they were digging....Somehow I feel like after all the research and inflation etc its probably not that much different.
safety googles at walmart are like 5 dollars can protect you against alot of things. 2.. i see other gold diggers use magnets on top of there pick's to help with all the junk/trash
I think u got screwed on that one pan..... O.o Great video
