Meant to send this the other day... I forgot, I'll blame older age..😂 I need to find one of these places down there on one of my trips...Thanks for another informative video Chris👍👌
Great video again - funny, informative, envy-creating, gold fever fixing, and vicarious sweat-making. Not only do you appear in it, but Gadzee makes a guest appearance, but the true star Fern, the Dogctor, takes a prominent position. I look forward for more 😊
You can definitely appreciate how much effort it took the old miners to dig shafts and other mines...well done guys, thanks for bringing us along on your adventures 👍😎✌
Aha the old Gold itch makes Gadzee needing a fix lol. I have the same exact face mask Chris and they are not cheap either from memory still better than getting silicosis on any given day. Good to see Fern in charge of this open cut operation lol.
Me and the Kelpie had a good week on the pan, 5 days x 90 pans per day, Garret gold trap- heaped classifier, follow the gold like a sniffer dog, each pan had a golden smile of 50- 200 specs per pan, clean up tomorrow ,oh and I feel great after a week in the bush, happy days fella's.
I always enjoy watching you prospect. I started learning in the last few years. I have learned much of it from your videos. I will keep watching to learn more.
Nice work Chris, good to see you chasing reef. So many rich shoots of reef still out there to find too, too small for company's to chase but lots of gold for small operators ;-)
Great to see, Chris. It brings a better idea of what the early miners were doing and what we see left over in the environment, and you'd ask, what did they do that for?, and why the little pinches of holes here and there, while other areas have deeper or shallower holes, shafts, adits, wider pits, strange turns of direction. May your contact zones be kaleidoscopic!
@VoGusProspecting I look forward to watching them. I thought that after following your channel for 4 years that I'd know everything there is to know about prospecting, but I learn something new in almost every video
Suggestion for wet sluice after... Shop vacs fit on 5 gal buckets, drill holes to mesh size you want to run through sluice in bottom of the bucket, and a hose hole in side of the bucket. So your fine particles wash out the bottom, and larger particles can be rerun when dried. Place the bucket on a hopper, and feed machine. Enjoy 😊
Thanks for the awesome videos and valuable information within them. Thanks again for the paydirt bag I Just received, had so much fun panning it with my little one. 😃
G'Day Chris, Thank you for all your tips on Gold prospecting, I'm on the lookout for a Quartz vein full of Gold like the one you have found. Take care buddy 👍👍 Cheers Kev
With gold prices today, even small amounts are adding up more than ever. Making it worth the time to dig the smaller deposits. I just found a vein that wasnt worth fooling around with 2 years ago but today is paying the bills and stacking up in my favor.
G'day Chris I'm not much on line and been a while since I've been watching ya channel, I've done I bit of hard rock mining and gold can float when it hasn't been exposed to the elements, a drop of detergent helps break the surface tension and the gold will sink. Love ya work Buddy 👍
A much as I love seeing the big scores on the river, but there’s something exciting about the hard rock vids. Thanks for all your hard work mate. 1x Fern pat please, training seems to be going good!
Awesome video, Chris. That's what I'm going to be doing soon. As soon as I get one of them grinder crushers. I tried to build one but it was so wobbly out of balance the damn thing jumped out of me hands, bounced around the shed and knocked everything of me work benches and scared the crap out of me and me dog trigger. Spud engineering would of sacked me. Gotta buy one professionally made. But I still want to try and build one out of an old lawnmower engine. To be continued.
Gday mates. Up the mountain looking for gold. Still snow on the tops. Wet and cold still.. Looks so warm where you are. Great work. Good luck from across the ditch.
Have you ever thought of investing in a “sleeves bar”? The one I have is about 18” long and is a perfect size for my pack. It would make it a bit easier for you to break up the quarts instead of using your pick. Just a thought.
Chris, the more sulphides, the more chance of gold?? But if the gold is bound to the sulphide, how do you liberate it? What about the video where you built a fire, and made the ore redhot from the fire. Would that liberate the gold? TIA
Race is on. A week ago I ordered something of Temu, yesterday I ordered a slobber back off The Old Mouldy. Which will arrive first? Which will be more predictable in terms of what is actually received? We shall see!
That fines on top keep going down follow 2 inch trail and youl find it . Man thats alot of work making my Arms ack just watching You . Question Chriss what way that running ? You havent found where that forks off from have you ? Eat you spinach . And bring a can with you when You start to peter out . Have a good One 👍
Ugh I really need a rock crusher but I can hardly justify the cost of them seeing people making them, I feel I will have to go that route but dang I want one and could really use it right now!
@ there 500 us dollars on eBay for a small one like that. I should make one for 50 bucks or so if I’m going to swing it. I’m still trying to have my gm1000 pay for itself. I’ve only found one .1 gram picker so far. So I have a ways to go. But hopefully soon I go out daily so hopefully it’s a matter of time. I research a bunch but can always seem to find gold. Working new state tho to so it’s been interesting working the deserts for the first time but was out looking at outcroppings all day myself just like this video grabbed a few samples to crush but need to find a way to hand crush for now .
An XRF Gun and a Falcon MD20 Detector will find deposits for you. You'll still have to sample numerous spots across the vein to find the richest areas so you can pinpoint it and determine the amounts. Sample sample sample and eventually you will find something good. A fire assay is the best way to get numbers and weights per ton after locating a deposit. So yes you can use a detector. The two I mentioned are great for finding precious metals and other valuable minerals such as uranium lithium niobium...... The list goes on and on 😊 I hope this helps you some.
Hey Chris are you roasting all the tailings after you get the free mill out? You could roast then crush again and Free up more I'd imagine. 😅 please don't haze me if it's in this video I did watch 80% of it.
For a shaft I think the standard was 1 pick handle wide by 2 pick handles long. This gave the diggers the swinging room the needed to dig. Obviously drives are a different matter. Great vid. Thnx Chris.
Seeing that honey made me laugh . My daughter usually gets home at a certain time and the dogs going nuts and it’s ten minutes past the time so I walk on the front porch there was like a bunch of bees all over a soda left on the steps and she’s standing on the side walk lol I just picked up the van with 30 bees and moved them elsewhere problem solved
Umm dnt think you should be exposing your main vein on camera bro like really it's up to you but I have to say o/f is sposed to pay better than UA-cam 😂😂
Should have been called we scratched around at the entrance of an old gold mine because we are to scared to go 2 ft in the entrance. Been watching Jason at mbmm videos obviously and pretending you do the same. Can't watch these videos anymore as it's all I will show you how to do it, I will tell you this that or the other thing. Your just pretending your Dan hurd and Jason that are people that do actually have alot of experience . Unfollowing anyway
Never chip into your main vein! Awesome work Chris!
Cheers for the vid Fern and Chris :)
Meant to send this the other day... I forgot, I'll blame older age..😂
I need to find one of these places down there on one of my trips...Thanks for another informative video Chris👍👌
Appreciate it mate. They are not hard to find, just look around the bush I'm beechworth and they are everywhere

Nice to see another English man supporting the God of prospecting. I've subscribed to your channel 👍🏻⚒️🏴

Cheers! There are some real good reefs out there.
Most Gold mines in Australia work on about 3gr per tonne. Mind you thier bi-product usually pays for the running of the mine.
Makes you wonder how they make money, eh?
Great to see, Chris.

Hand tools are what the old boys had and now the new boys. If the gold is rich then for sure more production is needed but I love seeing the hard work
You could put a leash on that Giant Ant.....Have it guard your claim 😂🤣🤣😂 Thanks for the video Chris...
Haha! I wish I could
I had to safety squint 😎🤙
Me too
Just had to renew my membership...Chris, you are just TOO MUCH....I love it!!
Nice one 👍🏻 you've got a great little spot there. That's a few videos worth of work 👍🏻⚒️🏴
Thanks 👍

At the site I think they are limited to hand tools.
@mary-ruthflores4107 I wàs intonating at home when he's using the impact mill and shop vac, but yes, limited in the field would be a pain lol
@ sorry, I misunderstood!
Gold job brother, great from your friends Indonesia 🙏🇮🇩
thank you! I love your pan!
Thanks for the awesome videos and valuable information within them. Thanks again for the paydirt bag I Just received, had so much fun panning it with my little one. 😃

Good morning Mr. Chris… good to see you out and about
Good morning!
Love Vern on the team again!
The dog's name is FERN 😉
@rodneymiddleton1044 fern is soo much more than "the dog" 😉
G'day Chris
I'm not much on line and been a while since I've been watching ya channel, I've done I bit of hard rock mining and gold can float when it hasn't been exposed to the elements, a drop of detergent helps break the surface tension and the gold will sink.

Nice Job Chris!
Cheers! 👍
Fantastic video Chris.. very well explained..
Well done good buddy! Hard rock is exciting and expensive . But can pay back well! Good luck & congrats! ❤
Cheers! Hard rock is always a gamble but an exciting one for sure.
Awesome video, Chris. That's what I'm going to be doing soon. As soon as I get one of them grinder crushers.

So much appreciation for what those old timers did. Don't make the Dogter work too hard.
Very good job top stukk👍👍👍
great video, have a wonderful day!
Gday mates.
Up the mountain looking for gold.
Still snow on the tops. Wet and cold still..
Looks so warm where you are.
Great work. Good luck from across the ditch.
Very informative! 👍
Cheers!
Great video !!
Thanks mate!
Crushed it!
Persistence and continuity leads to success.
Excellent timing. I needed a Vogus fix. Sort of like Gadzee’s gold itch. Reminded me of Tyrone Biggums from Chappelle Show
Cheers, mate!
Amazing gold discovery
Hi, Fern!
Hey bro you need a screen to sift it all great vid guys
put a harness on fern and teach her to pull a sled made out of a plastic barrel.
I have tons of this stuff on my property. And a creek too. Guess it's time to make a crusher
Those ants are insane!
Smash it mate
Have you ever thought of investing in a “sleeves bar”? The one I have is about 18” long and is a perfect size for my pack. It would make it a bit easier for you to break up the quarts instead of using your pick. Just a thought.
Keep up the good videos
Thanks for watching!
Chris, the more sulphides, the more chance of gold?? But if the gold is bound to the sulphide, how do you liberate it? What about the video where you built a fire, and made the ore redhot from the fire. Would that liberate the gold? TIA

Well I'm on a mini break till Tuesday so Temu probably
New subsciber here look forward watching your videos
Thanks mate, you have over 1,000 to go back through
yes the acdc mining.
💥💥
Ferny! Max keeps sayin' Beautiful Girl!
That fines on top keep going down follow 2 inch trail and youl find it . Man thats alot of work making my Arms ack just watching You . Question
Chriss what way that running ?
You havent found where that forks off from have you ?
Eat you spinach . And bring a can with you when You start to peter out . Have a good One 👍
Have you ever tried burning the quartz first ? Before running in the mill ?
Many times. All on film on my channel.
Exellent explanation
Hey, how about reviewing the gold fox recon? thanks.
Ugh I really need a rock crusher but I can hardly justify the cost of them seeing people making them, I feel I will have to go that route but dang I want one and could really use it right now!
It's a one off cost. Just do it.

Would a fire rake to break out and drag it out.
Most have a cutting blade too
Yes mate
Did you have the port special made? Couldn’t find anything on the stumpy website
It comes with the crusher.
@ Womp. Maybe I can just pop some holes in mine
Liked, shared and commented 🍻🗽🤴🏻 17:56
Bahaha it's like a sheet of spicy fly goodness minus the spice
P3 dual filter respirator - good equipment.
alwys take care of your main vein
14:33 where yer surfactant bubbles when removing silt from hardr9ck grind
Yea bro my night just got way better
thats ideal!
I wanna find an old mine its hard to find mining history in the U.S!
its pretty easy bro, get on google maps and search the mountains in a gold bearing area
Id love to see you go hunting pigs goat bird. Stay safe and. Keep the faith my friend
Hi garimpohobby Brazil 💥
You's all looking youthful and spritely...must be one of those pre UV index gold prospecters days out...
Is that the mine where Gary lives?
Gary lives elsewhere
@@VoGusProspecting good to know thankyou
That's a better use for a shop vac....
I thought it was a solid idea, stumpy is a unit
fuck yes mate, ive been wanting to see something like this....yeeew
I'm lying on my hospital bed with a gash under my toe, getting shots of morphine for pain. 😵💫
"pants full of concentrates"
Shot bro
💛...so, would a detector be useful for such small size, or would it not be allowed in that location?... btw, those are big ants...
An XRF Gun and a Falcon MD20 Detector will find deposits for you. You'll still have to sample numerous spots across the vein to find the richest areas so you can pinpoint it and determine the amounts.

Hey Chris are you roasting all the tailings after you get the free mill out? You could roast then crush again and Free up more I'd imagine.
😅 please don't haze me if it's in this video I did watch 80% of it.
Generally no. Only if there is decent freemill visible
For a shaft I think the standard was 1 pick handle wide by 2 pick handles long. This gave the diggers the swinging room the needed to dig.
Obviously drives are a different matter.
Great vid.
Thnx Chris.
That's really interesting!
You could go REALLY mad and, if you 'dare to', try an electric grinder motor, which will go longer than you! 😎🤓😎🖖
2:38 why does that honey comb kinda look like the US😂😂😂
Any guy that has a boxer as dog is pretty cool, your videos get me interested!
Would have been faster if you would have used your keene gas impact mill
12:11 everything reminds me of her 😂
Hahahahaha
That was a nice full potato pan 🤣
One does not simply walk into Mordor
Maybe a battery operated hammer drill?
Drill, some BP and fuse .. Pack N Pop
💙💛
Seeing that honey made me laugh . My daughter usually gets home at a certain time and the dogs going nuts and it’s ten minutes past the time so I walk on the front porch there was like a bunch of bees all over a soda left on the steps and she’s standing on the side walk lol I just picked up the van with 30 bees and moved them elsewhere problem solved
Hahshah, she's just trying to start a hive
How many more views do you get when Fern is in the video vs. when she isn’t? I bet it’s more 🐕
..."rifle out of the gun safe"???
I thought guns were illegal in Aussie land! 🤔
Don't fall for your goverments propaganda
Fern’s little forehead wrinkles are so cute. I hope the damned ants leave her alone! Thank you.
Stick your ore in a hot oven for an hour 🤷♂️
Umm dnt think you should be exposing your main vein on camera bro like really it's up to you but I have to say o/f is sposed to pay better than UA-cam 😂😂
Is it normal to pitch a tent when watching a pick break up a quartz vein?
In my house
@VoGusProspecting 🤣
I'm so glad Dr. Fern is working out her kinks. Such a good girl! 😊
She must be a handful. 😂
That dog look a bit under weight.
Should have been called we scratched around at the entrance of an old gold mine because we are to scared to go 2 ft in the entrance.
Been watching Jason at mbmm videos obviously and pretending you do the same.
Can't watch these videos anymore as it's all I will show you how to do it, I will tell you this that or the other thing. Your just pretending your Dan hurd and Jason that are people that do actually have alot of experience .
Unfollowing anyway
OK 👍
