Great video Andy it’s great that you can get to a place that is not accessible to people that don’t have the same drive as you mate. Thanks for another fantastic authentic video love how you know what you need to do and you have enough experience in life to get out there and do it. Great example for us to follow mate 👍🍺🍺🍺 keep half an eye on the post bro 🎄🎄🎄
Thanks Andrew, Santa is coming into my mail box. Looking forward to it mate. Yes , its a good patch, but its not easy digging thats for sure. Just had a bad week, nothing a few hours chasing gold doesn't fix. Thanks for the support 👍
Hey mate, Hopefully things get better for you, the lows of life are what makes the highs worth it, I'm a young prospector, only 23 but going out to the creek always helps when I'm feeling down, so I'm glad you could make it out there, stay safe mate, and keep finding gold :)
Glad you could get out mate. That's the lemonade you make when life gives you lemons. I haven't found a better way to shake the blues yet. Good on ya brother
Totally get where you're coming from, I live in the burbs and it shits me at times, so I go bush or fishing to clear the brain....wisdom and humility comes with age,well for most people 😂 Thanks Andy for sharing your adventures Cheers mate 👍😎✌
G'Day Andy & Smudge, Hey mate chin up we have all been there. Getting out bush with your best mate Smudge is the best remedy to clear the head, trust me. I like your engineering of the Yabby pump 👍👍 double thumbs up. You did ok on the Gold to mate well done. Take care buddy 👍👍 Cheers Kev
Cheers buddy, it was just a frustrating week and I needed to vent. I should not have done it on the channel. But mental health does not get better by itself. I know from experience, I can't afford to wait on the public health system for 2 years just to talk to someone about it. So again , I am sorry about the rant. It did lift my spirits to see you pan secret creek cons though! 🙂👍 Cheers Kev
@@andypandyAU.6669 Hey buddy no need to apologize, mental health is real. I tend to keep it inside and deal with it in my own way, we all handle things differently, whatever works for you. Getting out doors in my experience is the best medicine. Thanks again for your generous gifts, part 2 coming soon 👍👍 Cheers Kev
@BiggestKev1960 enjoy the love from Victoria. I know mate that was the way back in the day. But after going to too many funerals of good mates ( male and female) that just couldn't cope with the pressures of all the bollocks. I would rather let it out, whether that's just talking about it or screaming at the tree's. I have struggled with the "black dog" for years and years. A very good friend said ( who has lived with depression for 50 years) it's hills and valley's, some days its bright and sunny on the hill, some days it's the valley's. Cloudy, fog and cold and depressing. All good mate, but it is better to talk about these things than to say sorry at a funeral. It is real. Sad but true. I hope you get something out of "Frog spoof creek" , I know it's there, cheers buddy
Well spoken, Andy, I'd instantly thought of the distinction with being "spoken" compared to "outspoken", and absolutely fully agree with the effects such feelings evoke from other's disrespect or disregard, and bad deeds or malfeasance, well, you know the catalogue of the band very well, but others might also notice from the TISM lyric that "youre only ever 'Five Yards' from a ****wit". I would have mentioned the track, "I Shit Me", but the irony of it would escape quite a few within a 22 yard radius. The headspace we achieve by having the best activities involved with prospecting gives me and a good number this sense of reset - altogether a fellow- and shielaship (there, made that word up right now) that tends to be filled with those similarly needing the outdoors for mental and other healthy outcomes, or at the very basic least, understand and empathise 100%. We've had to teach ourselves and our dark canine within to either maintain the boundaries or otherwise sit down and face forward from us as the nominated lookout. Even as an atheist, I'd had anyway great sessions with a tattoed punk Irish nun, at the former Archbishop Mannix mansion on The Vaucluse in South Yarra, and then a Latrobe Uni professor specialist in the field, in a dungeon room off a tight lane in the CBD, the mildew was overpowering, the old Victoria Hotel, but am not right to even mention that word at the end, "Support After -------, so, that we share a need and want at times to be "beyond blue", it is in our very fibre to direct ourselves, and all that are affected in any way with what I do or don't do, towards what is golden and away from the other direction. It might be my name's role as heraldic angel but it's a shit often to be emissary, diplomat, newsagency to numbskulls... nominative determinism, at least I'm not a Bevan or a DJ Trevor. Whatever you call me, just don't call me late for breakfast. I love what you do and say here, and throughout, watched every one, and we've gotten a lot of golden goodness that is for weighing with different scales of measure than in ounces, grams or karats. Hope the way for your path onward gets cleared of the garbage, and ever in your thoughts that there's a wedge you'd like to drive into that crack you've wanted to get to the bottom of for quite a while, rather than a star picket into someone's forehead, in your mind, while they're going about their maladjusted ways. On finishing with having the Golden Rule refined a tad, from the common misconception that it states "do unto others as you would unto yourself", which is wrong from the original, and altogether bullshit, it's correctly "do NOT do unto others as you would NOT have done unto yourself". I give it to you that you've got better words than those to get out, mate, so keep it up with sharing with the great work ethics and recuperation ethics. 11/10, Marshall amplitude scale. G✌️
Thanks Gabi for the support, I just needed to vent. I should not have done it on this platform. Bar screaming at the trees, kicking the water and punching the mozzies. I am very grateful for your kind words, thank you. 😊
bro best thing to do is focus on what makes you happy dont let others bring you down to thier levelthere are some beutiful things in this world just some people try to take your focus away from these things.. Most importnt thing take care of yoursef bro great video Andy
Cheer up Andy....your a great guy 🎉. You and fudge, and you're not old Andy, you a 1 and stay positive think positive as well. Again a great video, the outside will do you good looking for gold Andy with fudge. I've got your parcel ready for Tomorrow with loads of meteorite's. Hahaha fudge looking in the pan to see what you had 😂. Great video again and gold.....now stay happy and think positive all the time and things go right.....your strength is powerful....brilliant video again Andy....
I've always thought the best therapy is heading bush, just being out there by yourself, with the sounds of the bush to calm the soul and then some trailbike dude roars past, anyway back to the therapy, running water, the birds and hopefully a little colour and I believe you ticked all the boxes, so good job mate. Cheers Pete
Thanks Rob, always good to have a yarn and a pan. Or a swing in your case! 12 months mate, I am selling up and doing a tour for twelve months. I am hoping to meet and catch up with a fair few UA-cam legends of Australia on the trip. If you will have me , I would love to catch up for sure. I haven't been around your area for over 30 years. Cheers Rob, thanks for your support "MR GOLD"
Im 49 and i hate leaving my quiet farm. My mom lives with us and has slight balance issues somedays. Going to the store on days when she has to use her walker is so frustrating. Not because of her. But because how people treat her. I get so angry at the general public. She loves to shop i hate it on a good day. So when people act up. I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. I understand you ranting. Yes i have noticed. That if you show your age. People tend to treat you like your a child or just not mentally there. I have to remind people they need to talk to my mom. Not around her to me. Even her doctors do that. Before my dad died. He suffered with post polio. (Basically polio attacking the body again). He would get so upset with himself for not being able to do what he did even a year before. As a young man he could replace transmissions with just his one arm and his legs. He drove stick shift (standard) up till 2 weeks before he died of covid. He was one tough man! I guess all this. To say. Dont let the ducking duckers get you down! Age doesnt mean much to those that love and respect you.
Thanks for that Judee, all the best for your mother. It just infuriated me and I just had to let it out. I probably should not have had a winge about it on my channel. But it is an issue called "ageism" , I am 59 and have a hell of a lot of experience in my working years from 14 years old. It was not a normal thing for me, sorry for my "Rant" at least its the truth...not an "alternative truth" 🤣 Thanks again for the support 👍
@andypandyAU.6669 your rant was a worthwhile rant. Sometimes people need to hear what is said. Maybe that leeds others to think and react differently. Plus it gets it off your chest. And to others that feel your frustration. Yet aren't in your home/town. Also helps open lines of communication.
Yep , you're dead right about prospecting Andy it's a great way to clear your mind alright , I used to go fishing when i was younger , but then prospecting took over from that . There is nothing more peaceful than the surroundings of a trickling creek in the bush , It's Magic !!!! . Great vid Buddy 👍👍 and don't fret none over Dickheads out there 👌The Worlds full of em . Cheers Ned . ✌
I do keep a good eye out , plus I take a very big set of really good ears with me....Smudge. He usually hears them before I see them. He is well trained and comes when called off anything, Skippys, Deer, Wombats, Pig's or people are the hardest to call him off. Yes, I agree on people, the more Ass..... I meet the more I like animals. Thanks very much for watching and especially commenting 👍 Regards Andy and Smudge
no need to apologise for the rant i agree 100% and nature is our medicine love your vibe enjoy that beautiful nature spot
Cheers for the support, nature is definitely a great healer, so is heavy yellow metal! Thanks 👍

Thanks for that
Best medicine self proscribed. Smart Doc
Sometimes, I just need resetting. Time in the bush with just a little bit of gold is like tonic
@andypandyAU.6669 likewise Andy i also had a duck off on Friday and scheduled another this Friday it's just to pleasant out there
I love that you say "Head space" session 👊🏽
Time for my head to slow down, cool down , and escape. Thank you for commenting Mandy.
Great stuff Andy any day on the creek is a good day hope all well and enjoy cheers Glenno,✨✨✨✨✨✨
Thanks mate 👍
Sorry to hear about your shitty week, mate.
At least you got a bit of shiney for your troubles
Yes it was and its amazing what a few hours in the bush can do for your soul, plus the shiny helps! Cheers Andy

Cheers Pete
Yes mate , I agree totally. Thanks for watching Pete, most appreciated
Can't worry about too much what others do. Too many fools out there.
Yes buddy, but sometimes I still get stalked by the "black dog". Cheers Vic
We will have to catch up Andy. I'm an old fella to but I can usually find gold. Great video. Cheers Rob Mason from bedrock Gold
Thanks Rob, always good to have a yarn and a pan. Or a swing in your case! 12 months mate, I am selling up and doing a tour for twelve months.

Cheers Rob, thanks for your support "MR GOLD"
The Batemans Bay area is where I am. Plenty of room to camp at my place. No cost either
@robmason5788 sounds awesome 👌 😎
LOL - The RANT was the best part of the whole tape.
I hope your day out helped you settle.
It did, it helps. I probably shouldn't have spoke about it on the channel. But too bloody late now.... thanks Mo
