Love your videos and your recounting of the mining history of in the Australian outback. I grew up listening to the tales of my elders back in the 1950-60's. The pioneers, the Indian Fights and Indian Warriors. The Veterans of conflicts dating back to chasing pirates in the Atlantic, the Rouge Indian War, the Paiute and Shoshone Wars of Oregon. Sat around a campfire of an elder Shoshone Warrior, as he tried to teach us how to make our own bows and arrows, knapping our own obsidian or agate arrowheads, as he recounted his days as a proud warrior of his tribe. He showed us his coup stick and its dozen scalps. As a young sailor training to be a Corpsman, loved to hear the sea stories of the elder veterans, especially of an Admiral who was born in 1867 and joined the Navy as a 12 y/o cabin boy in 1879. I will always remember his one saying, "I joined the Navy in the days of iron men and wooden ships, I retired in the days of iron ships and p***y sailors". A very colorful Rear Admiral. I cared for the first schoolteacher of Cottage Grove, OR, a rather onery 102y/o lady. Cared for Colonel Custer's grandnephew and enjoyed his stories of his famous uncle, not the stories found in the history books. You all be careful in your bush country, with all of its deadly snakes, spiders and other critters. Keep your videos coming and hand down the history you know to the young folks.

Love your videos, gold and relic harvesting and information/history. I've been up the river, over the hills and back again, harvesting gold since Garretts super beauty deep seeker first came the Australia. I've seen many odd mining gear bits and pieces, dredged a few crevicing pick heads and even one snake, [which did not stop in my riffle box]. Thanks for explaining what the first, second and whoever miners where doing, because your words will hopefully perpetuate the history about our heritage. Finally, I have to repeat some of my first post in here, because I cannot find it amongst the many posts other subscribers post. What I first posted about was the way to fix the pain jumping jack ants inflict. If you have ever been bitten by one of these agile little ants, here's what you needed to do to stop the pain. Rip a bracken fern out of the ground and crush the stem between two rocks, dab your finger into the wet juice that is exposed by your desperate fern crushing efforts. Then apply this juice to where your favorite ant bit you and wallah, no more pain. If you are all law abiding, just gently bend the bracken fern over to a rock and squeeze some juice out of said fern and at your leasure, apply said juice to you slightly discomforted ant bitten body region. Your ant bitten pain relief is immediate. Do not bite the fern, because it's poisonous. Also, wise up to jumping jack ants. These little ants originated in ancient times and appear to have developed pain inflicting bites to perfection.
@Tom McKernan thanks a lot Tom!! Sounds like you've been detecting for a while!! Yes we do recall your information on the ferns and we will be putting it to the test next time we get bitten. Cheers!
Your knowledge of the old timers Glenn is amazing. Would be amazing walking behind you here in the Bendigo Goldfields and learning how they worked this area.
@Heath Bull thanks very much Heath! Haha yeah it sure is. I’ll need another one soon 🤗 it is a small world that’s for sure! Glad you heard the shout out and all the best. Cheers 👍⛏
Hi, another nice video. No idea on the jaw bone. I think you have something special with the jaw. What has a large tooth sticking out in front? I even tried to google it, couldn't find anything with a tooth sticking straight out. Awesome find though. Love the bush as usual and some nice finds. Have a wonderful weekend, Natalie🙋🏻♀🌞🌺
@Etonbeach Treasure thanks a lot Natalie. It looks like it's either a lower jaw bone from a kangaroo or wallaby or a wombat! Although the jury is still out. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Hope you had a lovely weekend too!! Cheers, Ant & Glenn
Another great day in the bush, I wish I had family or friends like you 2 do its so special thankyou for making these vids I love em greatly. Watching from Queensland
@Dylan James thanks a lot Dylan, glad to hear you love our vids and appreciate them. Hope you do manage to find someone to go out with in QLD, it’s a lot of fun sharing the day with someone who shares your passion. Cheers and all the best, Ant & Glenn 👍⛏
I love the way the both of you mine gold and say how things were in the past and are today. For me, your videos are exactly what I expect Australian prospectors to say and do. This is so for at least the type of prospectors that I respect. Now to the matter that probably needs explaining, why and how gold plus water separates the rocks, soils and useless junk. We have all heard golds specific gravity is big enough to separate it from other materials. Where the chances a one gram nugget being panned out of dry creek wash are at best 50/50, doing the same panning actions in a water filled pan, changes the weight ratio of all the materials in the pan. Now the golds weight has increased disproportionately. Example the material weighs are close to; gold = 0.9gram, pebbles 0.2gram, clays and soils 0.1gram and quartz, 0.3gram. [assuming this panning material is equally sized]. Those weight ratios are close to what we meet when panning, I expect. So what weight differences result with increased centrifugal speeds, in water? At 10 times gravity, the respective material weights become; gold = 9grams, pebbles 2grams, clays/soils =1gram quartz = 3grams. By increasing the centrifugal by 1000 gravity units, the respective weights become; gold 9000grams, clay/soil 100 grams and quartz 300grams. These numbers are close to what I used in 1997, when I rebuilt an old spin dryer, in order to harvest gold from old abandoned battery sand piles. It was amazing to see the amount of fine gold, jammed under the quartz sands. I expect even the slimes would have been trapped in with the gold fines.
Well done Tom. Thank you very much you certainly know your stuff. It is both informative and interesting, you have been lucky to be involved in detecting for so long. Thanks again, Ant and Glenn
@@victoriangoldhunters Thanks fellow miners. Whilst I have owned and used a garretts detector since 1978, I shifted to dredging because no gold detecting, to hot where the gold is and I liked being in the water. However, my son is an effective detectorist, [love inventing words], and loaned me his back up detector, an SDC2300, few months ago. About two months ago when we were out detecting, I stopped detecting to watch him working a signal. He dug up a nugget and I suddenly realised how blessed I was, to see my own son all matured and grown up, finding gold where I had worked 35 years earlier. This feeling was most unexpected and such a delight.
Another good day out bush Ant, picked up a few bits and pieces a long the way. Glenn done really well picking out that gold with so much trash around it. Nice work mate, catch you on the next one. Cheers, Pete
@Pete’s Gold Adventures thanks very much Pete! We had a great day out. Glenn did a great job getting that bit amongst the trash. Was nice to see it pop out. Cheers and all the best, Ant & Glenn 👍⛏
Well done fellas. Glenn did real well to get that bit of gold out of all the other loud targets by the hut. I thought it might have been a stonker deeper down. The nails have been dent over on purpose and it is called clenching. It would hold two pieces of timber together on their flat. Common example is the old funny door made of floorboards. Works the same way as a rivet. More forgiving than a screw with expansion and contraction in timber. Cheaper than a screw too. Off with the manticore this morning. Take care fellas 😁👍
@The Coffee Bush Kid thanks a lot Andrew!! ahhhhh thank you!! i knew there must be a reason for it as i've found quite a few nails like that, that looked like they have been bent for a purpose. Thanks for the information - always appreciate it :) Cheers and all the best out there mate, Ant & Glenn
2 ladies here just finished watching another great episode. We have just come back from exploring the hills around Nundle NSW detecting. Found plenty of old mine shafts but only lots of junk. Got a little bit of colour in the river tho.
@suellen dunlop lovely to hear from you both! glad you enjoyed the episode. Sounds like you had a nice trip, at least you found some colour in the river :) always good to come home with a bit of colour!! Cheers and good luck out there ladies!!
Good hunting fellas. A lot of cool stuff. The jaw bone is 100% wombat. I googled it 😅. Thought the bit of gold would be a bit heavier Glenn, must be really flat. Still a great find amongst all the rubbish 👍. Great watch as always guys. Until the next
@Jamie Ryan thanks a lot Jamie!! It does look like it, although googling Kangaroo bottom jaw also looks very similar!! Cheers, glad you enjoyed it! Next one will be a couple of weeks out.
Thanks, Ant & Glenn >> aint those march flies are out in force and big too - the Orb spiders - I have my coil waving around the air clearing a path through the webs > I must look silly detecting the sky LOL. Great vid and thanks for sharing fellas..
@PJ Gold you are most welcome! Oh geez the marchies are shocking at the moment!! Haha I’m the same but I have a stick I wave around. The cob webs don’t seem to phase Glenn, he walks right through em 🤣🤣
Nice bit of yella in amongst the rubbish ⛏️ - next i want to see Glen in a Greek ship Captains hat 😆 that spiffy hat must have been under tbe spare wheel for a few years 🙄😉 oh that jaw is that rare marsupial Rhino Iguana 🤔
@Melbourne Subtropic Fruits thanks a lot! haha we might have to dig down in the cupboards to see what other hats we've got that Glenn can wear. Thanks for watching!
Good hunt guys. I'm thinking that the jaw bone is either that of a wallaby or a younger kangaroo. I have seen wombats that were only bones, they seem to have a wider beefier lower jaw bone to that of a roo or wallaby, as they use thier front teeth to chew through roots in thier burrows while digging them out. The tooth out the front is the grazing tooth. The ones they use to pick the grass before moving it to the back of the jaw for chewing. They look odd and I too was confused when I stumbled across my first wallaby jaw. Nice work on the flat bit of gold between all that trash infront of the hut. Most people wouldn't have bothered, being so trashy. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' to you both.
Thanks very much for the detailed information. It's very possible you are correct!! We've had a lot of varying comments about the jaw. Thanks for watching and good luck out there!! Cheers
@@victoriangoldhunters Any zoologist weigh in on what it might be? I find that a very interesting find. I would not have thought of it being a wombat's jaw, have to look that up. Stay safe "Mates", I can no longer get out, a stroke survivor, so I enjoy videos such as you guys are putting out, also following the adventures of another Australian prospector as well. Love it when you discuss the history of the area or items you find. We are having a down pour right now. Thanks, from this old lady in Oregon, USA
@Jennine thanks so much for your comment, lovely to hear from you Jennine and great to hear you are watching all the up there in the Cape!! Glad to hear you enjoy our content so much :)
I found a jawbone as well not long ago but it seemed to be a wild dogs. It had a clean split on the chin, we decided that a kangaroo must have kicked it. Cheers 🍻
@Leigh Sayers great to hear from you Leigh!! you are boosting our female viewership - currently only 7% :( but that's ok, i'm sure it will catch on! ;) Hopefully you have some more luck out there soon. It's a tough game detecting, perseverance is key. All the best, Ant & Glenn
Thought I’d say say it before I forget later, Pipe stem lol, never found one, all I find are the modern Bong tips, The Ossie version of the older English pipe bowl, Zividale
@MD MELBOURNE I had never found one either Jim, I was really happy with it 😁👍 hahaha modern bong tips hey?! Haven’t found any of those myself luckily. Zividale!!! 😁👍
Definitely a Wombat jaw bone. Well done on picking that signal among all the other's for the quarter gram flake. Question for Glenn. And if you did don't hold it against me. From the trotting day's, did you know my late uncle Garry Ewen? He had a stud farm in Bacchus Marsh in the 80's and was known in the industry well before that. Thank you for sharing your experience and adventures with us. I really appreciate and enjoy watching your videos. Cheers
Yes very familiar with Gary Ewen. Big Brian Gath man. I can picture him easily in my mind's eye He was what was described as colourful back in the day. Used to love the punt as I remember him. I never had a problem with him we moved in different circles a bit though but I do remember him very clearly
Glenn mentioned the retired pensioner that found the 64 ounce peace ,he is my mate ,and as it turns out Glenn actually no's him ,he is a trotting trainer lol 😆
Because we use a DD coil we can use the iron discrimination so larger iron noises give an uneven sound non ferrous targets brass copper etc don't tend to blank out. And gold as it's such a good conductor gives a mellow sound. I was inching around close to the hut got a small mellow sound. Thought it would be gold or lead. And if you kiss enough frogs you find your princess
My grandmother came from Yorkshire and I picked it up from her. My ancestors are Egan's on one side English and Conroy's on the other Irish. All poor apparently. Bastards. Glenn
I never miss an episode. And hey I am a girl lol . Steve and I are totally addicted to gold detecting. Any spare chance after work and the weekends we are out. Shout out to Kaz & Stevo from Ballarat. We would be stoked.
Well done again guys. I literally can't wait for your vids every week. first thing..is the jaw bone the bottom jaw of a pig with a tusk that is just forming? secondly I used to think the same about council workers...10 to dig a hole..so I asked them. Their response was we have a guy that specialises in gas in case we hit a gas line, we have a person that specialises in electricity in case we hit a cable etc etc....they are literally there just in case of an emergency and the last thing...have you considered that gold may have mercury attached to it and putting it in your mouth might be dangerous should it have attached to mercury? Its just something someone said to me and its left me thinking every time I put a piece in my mouth...your thoughts? Well done again. Awesome clips. Informative and entertaining.
You are right I don't think that putting it in our mouths is a good idea but I think naturally occurring arsenic is also a possibility But I use the cream cake rule. Have a quick look at it If it's cleaning put it in your mouth while you still can
@Antony Martin thanks Antony! Glad you enjoy them. There have been a lot of opinions about the jaw bone - we still aren't 100% sure but looking like either a kangaroo, wallaby or wombat's bottom jaw. haha yeah fair enough re council workers. The probability of mercury attached to the nuggets we find is very minimal. But yeah, if you wanted to stick on the safe side, don't put it in your mouth :) Thanks for watching and appreciate your support! Glad you enjoy our content

Everyone at work these hot days in Melb telling me i should have a hat on.ill see what they think of your hat i just ordered online. I work at a goverment school lol
@rc axial scx10 hi mate, I’ve been very sick recently but on the mend now. Glenn and I will be out this weekend with the video being put together and up by Monday night 🤞🤞. Cheers!
Only got my 5000 late last year no gold yet but these videos keep my motivated. Went swinging this morning found a few bullets and my first really good find a 1925 3 pence thanks guys for the videos i can't wait to find a bit of shiny :)
@dikie bird congrats on the 5000! it's a tough game gold detecting but as long as you are enjoying it, that's the main thing. nice find with the 3 pence!! no doubt gold is not too far away. Cheers and all the best!
@Jenko’s Gold Adventures thanks mate!! We’ve had a lot of comment kangaroo and others wombat!! Still not sure ourselves but we were edging towards kangaroo when we did some research
What? Did Glen knock over an old lady and make off with her hat? Buy Glen a new hat, thst ones a real shocker. If I see it again ill feel compelled to buy him one. That tusk is a yoing kangaroos premolar. They drop out as the kangaroo gets older.
@@victoriangoldhunters Its definitely a lower jaw of a juvenile kangaroo as strange as it seems. The blade like thing isnt a tusk, it's the same on both sides of the jaw. Its common to find those bones around. If you google it you will certainly find an exact picture
The wombat has a shorter rounded snout compared to that roo who was a grey male who died of old age at 17 years and 11 months. I hope that bullshit helps but it is fact. (Google said so) Great show fellas keep swinging.,
@Tom Shaw thanks a lot Tom and we appreciate your support!! hahaha yeah those 6000 seem to pick up the teeny tiniest bits of gold - hard to even call them nuggets haha. Glad you enjoy our content so much!! Cheers, Ant & Glenn

Great video, I think it’s the bottom jaw is off a kangaroo 🤙🏽
@Geoff Wilson thanks a lot Geoff - yes it could be!!
Good one guys. That jaw bone is definitely a kangaroo jaw bone. Not sure what they use that front tooth for.
@John Phanos thanks very much John! We’ve had quite a few different guesses with the jaw bone. Very interesting!!
Another tremendous episode Glenn and Ant. Couple of great finds to keep the interest up. Mr google says it is a wombat jaw bone 🦴
@Lizard thanks a lot!! Appreciate it. We've had heaps of comments about the jaw - looks like about 50/50 wombat vs kangaroo!
@@victoriangoldhunters Any zoologist weigh in on what it might be? I find that a very interesting find. I would not have thought of it being a wombat's jaw, have to look that up.
Stay safe "Mates", I can no longer get out, a stroke survivor, so I enjoy videos such as you guys are putting out, also following the adventures of another Australian prospector as well. Love it when you discuss the history of the area or items you find. We are having a down pour right now.
Thanks, from this old lady in Oregon, USA
@@ShellyAnn1a not that I’m aware, just lots of opinions 😁

@Carla Tysoe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ll see what I can find out bush to stick in Glenn’s hat next time 😁👍🇬🇧🇦🇺⛏
I found a jawbone as well not long ago but it seemed to be a wild dogs. It had a clean split on the chin, we decided that a kangaroo must have kicked it. Cheers 🍻
@Remote Gold Prospecting nice, could very well have ended that way. Cheers!
You guys seriously make my day Cheers from far north qld
@Joshua Palmer we are thrilled to hear it Joshua!! Glad you enjoy our channel so much 😁👍 cheers and all the best up in FNQ!!
So ..I'm a lady and I love your videos ..still haven't found gold but lots of junk ...it's fun tho ..you two make me laugh ..very entertaining .
.
@Leigh Sayers great to hear from you Leigh!! you are boosting our female viewership - currently only 7% :( but that's ok, i'm sure it will catch on! ;) Hopefully you have some more luck out there soon. It's a tough game detecting, perseverance is key. All the best, Ant & Glenn
@@victoriangoldhunters I'm old school with a sd2200d ...I know it's old tech but I don't mind ..it's the fun of the find ..
@Leigh Sayers that’s it, as long as you are having fun and enjoying yourself that’s the main thing!! Good luck out there
Someone has probably already confirmed it but yes, that's the bottom jaw of a Kangaroo. Weird, hey?
@Brad Griffin we’ve had lots of comments about the jaw and lots saying kangaroo but also quite a few for wombat and wild boar!!
That jawbone might be a pig(boar).awsome finds team👌👌👌
@Dean Jones thanks very much Dean! It could be! We’ve also had a lot of comments for kangaroo and wombat!
Thought I’d say say it before I forget later,
Pipe stem lol, never found one, all I find are the modern Bong tips,
The Ossie version of the older English pipe bowl,
Zividale
@MD MELBOURNE I had never found one either Jim, I was really happy with it 😁👍 hahaha modern bong tips hey?! Haven’t found any of those myself luckily. Zividale!!! 😁👍
Great job 👍
@Galacia Metaldetecting Thank you very much!! Cheers!
Definitely a Wombat jaw bone. Well done on picking that signal among all the other's for the quarter gram flake.
Question for Glenn. And if you did don't hold it against me. From the trotting day's, did you know my late uncle Garry Ewen? He had a stud farm in Bacchus Marsh in the 80's and was known in the industry well before that.
Thank you for sharing your experience and adventures with us. I really appreciate and enjoy watching your videos. Cheers
Yes very familiar with Gary Ewen. Big Brian Gath man. I can picture him easily in my mind's eye He was what was described as colourful back in the day. Used to love the punt as I remember him. I never had a problem with him we moved in different circles a bit though but I do remember him very clearly
Glenn mentioned the retired pensioner that found the 64 ounce peace ,he is my mate ,and as it turns out Glenn actually no's him ,he is a trotting trainer lol 😆
@Paul Ford That's interesting. Glad it went to a deserving finder. If you have been a trotting trainer you deserve a bit of luck Well done - Glenn 👍
Great work guys. I think it's a lower jaw and teeth of a wallaby.
@Ian Morris thanks Ian!! We’ve had quite a few different guesses with this jaw bone! Cheers
So does Gold have a different signal ? how did you find that bit among all those other noises ?
Because we use a DD coil we can use the iron discrimination so larger iron noises give an uneven sound non ferrous targets brass copper etc don't tend to blank out. And gold as it's such a good conductor gives a mellow sound. I was inching around close to the hut got a small mellow sound. Thought it would be gold or lead. And if you kiss enough frogs you find your princess
@Tez K as above from Glenn :)
"As thin as boarding house butter".... I havent heard that in yonks!
My grandmother came from Yorkshire and I picked it up from her. My ancestors are Egan's on one side English and Conroy's on the other Irish. All poor apparently. Bastards. Glenn
🤣🤣🤣 it was a first for me but I liked it. Another great one liner from Glenn 🤣👍
Another great adventure and an evolution lesson about the hippy vegan kangaroos getting on the grass.
@Unhinged Harry Glad you enjoyed it mate!! Cheers
Right on, send to me 6 of those hats Glenn, I wouldnt want to bother you for just one. haha
@Wade Lintick 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌
Loves it
@120 DOWNUNDER Thanks a lot Cookie!! Cheers
The pork pie penny ink was a good relic find for the display cabinet.✒
@Zingling it sure was!! 😁😁😁
Nice piece guys
@The Gold Rush Guy thanks very much 👍👍
Could be a jack rabbit lower jaw or wombat. Either way.. love skulls.🖤💜🖤
@Shelley Goldsmith yeah they sure are great!! 😁👍
I never miss an episode. And hey I am a girl lol .
Steve and I are totally addicted to gold detecting. Any spare chance after work and the weekends we are out.
Shout out to Kaz & Stevo from Ballarat. We would be stoked.
On it. Meant to before this Glenn
@@goldhuntingglenn
Glen & Ant make our week. ⛏⛏⛏😄
@Karen Mason thanks for your support! Great to hear you guys are addicted to detecting, just like Glenn and myself. Shout out coming soon 😁👍⛏ cheers
Reckon I'm a regular in that area. Only ever found a few tiny bits out there
@rod whitehand it's a tough area!! Good luck out there!
@@victoriangoldhunters the hiking in to some of that place near on buckles me sometimes lol. Good colour gold out there tho. Very yellow for sure
Well done again guys. I literally can't wait for your vids every week.
first thing..is the jaw bone the bottom jaw of a pig with a tusk that is just forming?
secondly I used to think the same about council workers...10 to dig a hole..so I asked them. Their response was we have a guy that specialises in gas in case we hit a gas line, we have a person that specialises in electricity in case we hit a cable etc etc....they are literally there just in case of an emergency and the last thing...have you considered that gold may have mercury attached to it and putting it in your mouth might be dangerous should it have attached to mercury? Its just something someone said to me and its left me thinking every time I put a piece in my mouth...your thoughts?
Well done again. Awesome clips. Informative and entertaining.
You are right I don't think that putting it in our mouths is a good idea but I think naturally occurring arsenic is also a possibility But I use the cream cake rule. Have a quick look at it If it's cleaning put it in your mouth while you still can
@Antony Martin thanks Antony! Glad you enjoy them. There have been a lot of opinions about the jaw bone - we still aren't 100% sure but looking like either a kangaroo, wallaby or wombat's bottom jaw. haha yeah fair enough re council workers. The probability of mercury attached to the nuggets we find is very minimal. But yeah, if you wanted to stick on the safe side, don't put it in your mouth :) Thanks for watching and appreciate your support! Glad you enjoy our content
Is this now the new release time slot.....the granny's at the RSL were disappointed last week..
@AYE Tee 🤣🤣🤣🤣
always great to see your vids
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy them 😁👍⛏
I found a Penni Ink with a small hole bored through the side, any idea?
@Barbzy no, no idea why that might be. Nice find though!
I recon now being my age
That's cool
👍👍
I reckon it's a wombat jaw bone. My wife had a pet wombat and I still remember the bite's and head buts
@Adam Woolley OUCH!! yes it very well could be!
Ya never keep a old bottle digger down 😂❤
True dat Still get the urge. Nothing like that final wiggle of the bottle and it comes out complete. You know what I'm saying Glenn
@Craig Dutton Never!!
Great day out guys 😁
@Chasing Gold Australia thanks very much buddy!! 👍⛏🍻

Found the same thing on the road
@Kathy Haworth 👍👍😁

@@victoriangoldhunters oh no good man get well soon, awesome thanks 👍
@rc axial scx10 thank you!!
AHH a jawbone of a drop bear
@Kevin Wilkinson 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’ll have all our international subscribers googling drop bears now haha
Yep well someone needs to keep them guessing
I can't keep up with all the videos on youtube about prospecting , cheers
@35andsolid there’s lots out there!! 👍👍 enjoy 😁⛏
Only got my 5000 late last year no gold yet but these videos keep my motivated. Went swinging this morning found a few bullets and my first really good find a 1925 3 pence thanks guys for the videos i can't wait to find a bit of shiny :)
@dikie bird congrats on the 5000! it's a tough game gold detecting but as long as you are enjoying it, that's the main thing. nice find with the 3 pence!! no doubt gold is not too far away. Cheers and all the best!
You buggers dug up my ex missus .. 🕷
@Steven Jozefik 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rock Wallaby bottom jaw,,
@Derek Dickson cheers Derek!!
Kangaroo jaw fellas
@Jenko’s Gold Adventures thanks mate!! We’ve had a lot of comment kangaroo and others wombat!! Still not sure ourselves but we were edging towards kangaroo when we did some research
What? Did Glen knock over an old lady and make off with her hat? Buy Glen a new hat, thst ones a real shocker. If I see it again ill feel compelled to buy him one. That tusk is a yoing kangaroos premolar. They drop out as the kangaroo gets older.
@Garry Mercer lot's of comments about the jaw bone - jury is still out!! Cheers
@@victoriangoldhunters Its definitely a lower jaw of a juvenile kangaroo as strange as it seems. The blade like thing isnt a tusk, it's the same on both sides of the jaw. Its common to find those bones around. If you google it you will certainly find an exact picture
Kangaroo Lower jawbone. Not wombat
The wombat has a shorter rounded snout compared to that roo who was a grey male who died of old age at 17 years and 11 months. I hope that bullshit helps but it is fact. (Google said so) Great show fellas
keep swinging.,
@Brian Reid thanks very much Brian, lots of interesting comments about the jaw!! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy our content!! cheers
Kangaroo jaw
@paul mcleod likely!
Nearly 100% sure it’s a wombat bottom jaw👌
@Luca Torresan thanks Luca! We’ve had quite a few comment wombat and others kangaroo!! Cheers
Love your work boys! UA-cam is filled with too many channels running 6000s digging fly poop over and over.🥱🥱😴😴 this channel does it right. Keep it up.
@Tom Shaw thanks a lot Tom and we appreciate your support!! hahaha yeah those 6000 seem to pick up the teeny tiniest bits of gold - hard to even call them nuggets haha. Glad you enjoy our content so much!! Cheers, Ant & Glenn
