The school of *Vogus Prospecting* where you learn literally everything you need to know! Thanks for sharing mate 👊
PioneerPauly I can't teach you how to tie your shoes. I use Velcro
Tie shoes....I know that one - "left over right and under, then right over left and under" Simplezzzzz
Hi spam bot, on here you will find that unless you're nudes are made from solid gold you're not going to get much attention.
Vo-Gus Prospecting Oops I already signed up
Cool Video, I'm 32 and have been prospecting about every summer except one since I was 23..I really enjoy it!.. Trying to build a life that will allow me to do it full time if I wish. But that's another story!
Living the dream
@@VoGusProspecting Thanks man!. .I built a 5'' dredge on a credit card this last season. Not the smartest thing I've, ever done! Now I got a mess to clean up before I get to go back out and play in the dirt!..Oh it stings.! I was suppose find more Gold. But I guess that's Gold prospecting! Now I pay! Happy prospecting I'll be watching the videos.
Awesome video sir. Great way to show the monetary value of the shiny we chase! And just wow !on the old river bed!!
I wish I could speak to the camera like you, very great skill that many don’t pick up on but is very impressive, and you tell the story with the camera very well. Take care Chris.
California Mother Lode Prospectors no.1 trick is to look at the side of the lenses and pretend your talking to a person
Don't need to pretend , you are really talking to me !! Taking everythink in what you say !
@@VoGusProspecting
@@VoGusProspecting You have a natural gift there, you'd make an awesome instructor/teacher for sure
@@VoGusProspecting that wouldn't work for me, I have a very active imagination. You would have to be a really hot woman with bedroom eyes to feel I was talking to you.
I love your catch and release prospecting. Yes, very sustainable. Old timers knew that and left some for US!! :))
Here Jul 2021 and that gold value has more than held. This video and the gold have aged WELL.
Thanks for the informative vid, I'm glad I stumbled across your feed. I broke my leg at work and your channel has kept me amused for hours and hours. Top job mate
great job as always! that was a sweet spot!! Wow! pretty decent sizes getting pulled out. really enjoy your channel. thanks for the insight and some knowledge! happy panning!
You have a gold miner's paradise in Australia. :) I live in France and things are different here. There are no universal and cheap gold mining permits. You can get a free permit to wash some stream in the mountains, but you have to go through a long procedure, submit your equipment for inspection and they will only give you a permit for this stream. You can mine gold, but you can't sell it. Of course - the freedom-loving French, gold mining enthusiasts didn't care about these rules and are mining gold secretly. We really lack such convenient legislation like yours.
another great vid ! Im learning all the time ! Havnt been out since the get together with Dvid Buckle and the rest from Tassy apart from one look see down in a creek near Beaconsfield. Nothing to report .
And not to mention the value of being in the Aussie bush with your best mate and solitude. That's invaluable!
love all the tips on reading the creek mate.
Another great video chris , looks like you have done well out of that area . And i know sean has thanked you a few times for helping his channel , but id like to thank you as well . Thanks mate.👍👍👍
Christopher Martin no worries man I apprentice the support.
Another informative Vid Chris, thanks. x
Thank you for your time and your knowledge Chris 👍 you just solved my problem ! I’m sure you have helped plenty of other guys and gals as well ! I’m looking forward to seeing your next video keep up the great work mate 👍 cheers 🍻
Michael Horsley what was your problem?
Vo-Gus Prospecting I didn’t know the gram values of gold or how to workout how you would put it to market value !
" I’m sure you have helped plenty of other guys and gals as well ! " Exactly!!
Good video pal. That was an interesting way to look at our hobby. I think this is the second time around watching it and it was just as good as the first.
Cheers man.
Thanks for the super video chris.Its kinda amazing after 6 months or so you look how much you have accumulated a quarter gram at a time.
Well done on another fine vid mate . depending on the person the value of gold can very for me of course there is $ value but the thrill of the chase , outdoors and serenity makes it worth so much more
A lovely looking spot. Great video Chris
Good job man. Keep up the awesome vids and enthusiasm ✊️
Gday Vo-gus
just subbed m8
really good video and channel, its informative
well edited
and presented 👏👏
look forward to more 👍
very educational. Nice color. Very best on your next prospecting venture. From USA, Michigan, ✌️
Great video as usual. Keep it coming. Finally able to put your teaching to work. Been hitting my local river and getting 20-50 specs per pan. You mentioned something that reminded me of a riddle my kid told me.....
What's brown and sticky?
A stick
Great video. Good info, thanks.
well this aged well
yes, it did double in price!
another great video I been watching all your old videos to catch up. you should have like 500k subs!
I wish i had that mate!
Very awesome. Totally true in all aspects. It's for the fun and piggy bank it away for sell later. To make jewelery for wife or what have ya. I personally have banked 8.23 g. When you get that into a vial you can feel the weight it is so cool. The hunt is the fun and then when specs show at the bottom of pan every time it happens it's exhilarating. Great video Chris. I want to see a money roll of 50ties up that old creek bed crevice lol. Pan on All
Sean Preston it would be nice to pan off a roll of fifties!
Fantastic video Chris !
i love the info Chris this is awesome
I just got a 6 pound's bag of pay dirt. It's not about the gold. It's about having fun. Just wish I could see the land like you do. Growing up had woods all around me. It was so much fun. Now it's just house's and buildings everywhere. You don't know what you have. Until you noloner have it. So Chris you are definitely blessed. Until then Rock On!!!
You've come a long way Chris. Congratulations
Thank you for the great advice and knowledge of prospecting. Love what you and Grizz do for prospecting channel
Our pleasure!
Great episode, I really enjoyed this one. I forgot its winter for you. Today where I live in Canada, its suppose to get to 42 Degrees Celcius today.
Nick Molnar sounds like summer here
Yes gold stacks good ;) Nice place. It all starts with the first flake in the pen.
Thank you so much for this video. You do tend to come up with topics that I actually want covered, but rarely are discussed by other UA-camrs. Another example of something I find just a tad frustrating is that, as an American, I am used to miners and prospectors speaking in terms of ounces or fractions of it anyway. Watching Aussies we constantly hear grams. This is even true when they are talking about amounts that are well into whole ounces. Then there are others that use grains or penny weight. Arrrrgh! I just wish everyone would use one unit of measure, lol. Obviously the value of gold varies over time, but this is something I have never seen anyone else cover.
BTW, last I looked, here in the states gold was going for about $1280 per troy ounce. Is there that much difference in the value of the Aussie dollar and the US dollar? Maybe there just paying more for it over there. Well it just seems like a crazy big difference.
Currently gold is around $1700 Toz. You may be able to make a profit using the currency trade markets.
Grams is the ideal way to work it out as its a fraction of 10. Simple maths man! haha, people talk in inchs and galons and my head spins!
I try to cover topics people ask me about so theres a god variety of videos!
I wish the US would just make the switch to metrics. They were supposed to do it as far back as the `50s. The only entity here that uses it is the military. They DID switch over back in the `50s and `60s. The imperial system is so frustrating. I can't keep track of how many of what make one of something else.
I just need to get used to thinking in grams, since that's much more applicable than oz.s, on the scale we are working with.
Thank you for your great videos. No drama! Love your style.
Ken Jencks try to keep my life drama free
Your a wealth of knowledge young man. Another great vid bro. 👍👍
Chrispys Kiwi Adventures I try
Good morning, here in Michigan we have flour gold, in Michigan we call flakes nuggets, LOL, great video, thank you for the video, see you next video great adventure prospecting.
dad epic360 flaky nuggets
Been waiting for another one of these vids good vid
rjnz hi I try for one or two a week.
Great vid Chris, thank you. Good to see the Grizzle master in formal attire. Plus a sweet location even without the golf.
Jim Wood he's a handsome devil
Nice one Chris as usual!
Hey Chris. Thanks for the great father's day present👍 brilliant visual illustration! Simple but not patronizing. Does the lack of shotgun pellets and other lead suggest the gold is virgin? Looking forward to seeing " Goldilocks" in action. Great video.
Joseph kolodziej no way this is virgin ground. It was heavily mined in the 1850s.
What I didn't show you was the bits of steel in was digging up. Its been laid down between 1880 and now.
I didn't want the video to come off as arrogant, it was aimed to change how you view the ground. By looking at the money side of it it becomes easier to see what to walk away from it.
That’s gold mate lol
And yes that’s true look at the crevices in dollar value and fun value
Another great looking spot too wow
Great vid again good to see the Grizz with ya lol
Cheers the Crouch
Great video mate 👊🏻😊👍🏻
coming from the metal detecting side-Very Much educational here!(Great ViD)
Dirk Ayala thanks mate, happy you got something from it.
Fascinating information! Thanks! I love talking about money and savings!
Me too, helps put it into perspective!
While I like your creek giving modern notes. I still prefer the gold.
Very good way to explain what the hole is worth!
Wayne Tolver-Banks I don't know, $50 notes are pretty good.
Hi Chris.
Well spoken..
Cheers Tony.👍🇦🇺⛏🍺
The other things to consider is that the buy price on offer is for 24K or pure gold which is always less than the spot price or sell price. Virtually all alluvial gold is not 100% pure and can range from 85 to 98% pure, with exceptions of course. For example, in February I sold some of my gold. I weighed out 18.5 grams of my fines. Had to get that melted into a button as the vendor will not accept "gold dust" as they determine the purity by doing a specific gravity test. After melting there was some loss due to oxides attached to the gold. I ended up with 17.7 grams at 93% purity yielding AU$47.85 per gram compared to the then current gold price of AU$53 per gram.
Stu JD yep, all of that. Thank god you wrote it out for me! Lol
LOL
Stu JD the gold in Cali ranges from 16k to 22k and most vendors only pay 75% of spot on value of purity. So where I was mining most the time was 22k I was lucky and was getting 85% of spot. Roughly 29$ to 33$ per gram. Vt gold on the other hand is 23.5% pure with platinum in most as the impurity.
If my gold was only 23.5% pure with other precious metals I would consider refining to separate the metals. In essence one could be giving away the lions share or throwing the baby out with the bath water so to speak. The decision to refine is an economic decision and all depends on what other metals are present and their economic value verses the cost of refining. As I write this the price of Au is AU$1721 an ounce and Platinum is AU$1203 per ounce. So if you sold an ounce at 23.5% Au and say 60% Pt and the rest in silver, you would be literally giving the buyer around AU$800 in platinum and silver. Food for thought!
What is Vt gold btw?
Stu JD 23.5 in VT. The Cali gold was 16 to 22 depending on the part of the state.
Chriss... thanks for the $ conversion or equivalent explanation!! That helps a lot. Now.. where do you sell the gold?? Pawnshop, coin shop?? How do you market your gold?? Thanks again for the terrific information and explanations.... best wishes.... Ax
So just a hobby, and not enough to make a living. Got it.
What a great video all around,nice work here
Cheers man!
Chris, liked how you edited this one - every post improves over the one before. Keep up the great work! Are you ever going to post whose jabby pump you use? Looks much better made than most I've seen (and used so far). Heavy pans!!
John Taylor I don't even know what brand it is lol I'll look into it!
Many thanks, Chris!
well done finding that spot. nice gold ! look forwed to seeing the high banking vid and the clean up from it. happy hunting
Jefferson Monson bit of luck and intuition!
Vo-Gus Prospecting and persistence lol. your at it alot.
Crazy that gold exists like that in nature, pretty cool too bad none where I live.
You never know man, go pan a few loca creeks
Yes been hanging for a gold video. Wtg top work again.
Jamie Norris thanks man, its detecting season currently so usually I do that a bit more in winter
Thanks Chris that was a good video🇦🇺😘
Good video as always!
One speck at a time! Good to see Grizz back in action.
...another great video bud.
Thank you for putting $20. Into the right perspective! It’s actually easier to put gold in my little kitty than to try to save dollars!
Another good vid mate, thanks
Fun Video..Thanks..
Taka Moose thanks mate
Love your videos !! Roll on December Camping Hollies , at Reedy Creek !
Good luck out there mate
Thank you very much, Chris, for this video. In less than 24 hours I have received a good answer to something I've been thinking for a long time, you and two toes have just answered me well.
Kenneth.
MrInsaint that's what you want to hear!
I love learning from you. Thank you. But it seem that no one tells me who is going to buy my gold. I live in Ontario Canada. Please, I need to know this info before I go on. I understand I won't be rich. But, it pays for gas or maybe a trip down south one day. But again, in all the videos I gave watched and have sent a comment about things. I get no response or answers. So I am taking it slow and just watching and learning from this point on. I think look for gold and other stone is probably better then looking for coins and jewelry, but nit to say, that's out of the question, either. Thank you. Hoping to hear from you.
One of my favorite videos yet, love the little extra bits.
Stephen H thanks man, took 5 hours to make.
Damn!!! you've done it again....... you've gone and taught me something else. You'd better go easy with all these educational vids Chris, I might become too knowledgeable ....... dang that's a big word. Can't wait to get out there and get something into my piggy bank. I'll have you to thank for that. Cheers bud :)
2Qwk2C OK I'll try and dumb it down a bit lol
Nah, your other followers are probably smarter than me and would feel let down if you did that. I'll just push slow mo :)
Keep the great work coming.
Hi i love your videos, and I have biginging gold prospecting in sweden, it isent so rich in gold here like you have in your land😁 but i find litle somtimes.
And I waiting now for spring and summer to Come and kan been out more.
You give me mutch lerning about everyting about gold prospecting 👍👌 and I love your dogs, i have one big Cane Corso girl some love to be outside.
Peace and Love David from sweden✌️🤟🏽😉
Beautiful crevice, nice gold. Can't wait to see you get the high banker out. Great video, very informative. I really don't care what the gold is worth it's the getting out in nature that is the big payday. Thanks Chris for sharing.
joel jeffery I cut that bit out for the sake of the flow of the video.
I don't really care about the money side of it. Its all therapy for me
I've been digging in the rocks since the fifties and I haven't sold anything yet. I just came in with several pounds of silver and copper nuggets. I just look at them and put them the huge pile in the basement. I do have a nice display for people to look at. I clean all my finds for my viewing pleasure. I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, as far as I'm concerned. Nothing is better than going out and enjoying. Thanks Chris for all your videos and wise info..
If you use a yabby pump please don't transport the tip far from your pan. Try using a yabby pump to pick up gold specks in a clean tub of water at home, try and move anything larger than tiny specks of gold more than a foot or two. It literally is the first thing to fall out the end.
You can expect a video reply 🙂 this will be an interesting test.
Thank you Chris for another informative video. I always look forward to your videos they are fantastic. I really enjoy them. I got to pan in Vt yesterday with Adam from California Gold Rush I had such a fantastic time just chilling with friends. It was awesome!
Freespiritangel61 really want to meet that dude
Vo-Gus Prospecting anytime my man. It would be a honor. Great video by the way.
He is awesome Chris!
Great video Chris. I finally got the gold claw and pocket claw gold pan. I can't wait to use it.
Colorado Gold it'd great fun. I love the pocket pan
Vo-Gus Prospecting right on. I will do a video about how I like it for one of my next UA-cam videos.
Such a well put together video, been detecting virtually all my life, so better start recording all my finds. Chris, your sluice with the dream mat that you use, what size is it? ie. 6", 8" thank you.
I use the six inch
Thanks mate, watch out for brown snakes as the weather warms up.
Great video, thanks :)
I love your gold videos, but you have also mentioned things about depression. How do I get more information about that?
Great and my friend we appreciate ones like this keep it up thumbs up my friends
Cheers buddy!
Great video man...
me and a mate pulled out a apricot size gemstone on our first pan where you were... then not much else lol
Daniel Babz mmmm, stone fruit.
That looks like a great place to prospect Chris, could I ask where it is? As I've just started prospecting & haven't been having much luck brother!!
Keep up the good work, love your videos!!
Steve...
This is reedy creek
Great Fathers Day treat seeing Adam ( California Gold Rush)with his boys and you with Grizzly. Thank you
Gary's Sprinkler Repair great to meet you aswell And happy fathers day.
good old rav4 thats wot i got to
I'm just going to live vicarious through all you gold go getters oh and thank you very informative
I love watching you and your little trips I'm 57 now would love to try it before I'm 60 lolwish you much luck in all your travels
Interesting video there Vo-Gus on the potential $$ for a days work.........Question, how cold is it out there ? You looked all wrapped up.
about 8c
How handy are sticks? Haha. :) Hey, love your vids. Have just discovered you. Maybe I haven't found the right vid yet, but what do you do with all your gold? Do you sell it with cold, mercenary relish? Do you have a collection of favourite nuggets? Do you sleep, curled up on a mountain of gold, a la Smaug?
I keep all my gold
You were right. Gold went way up!!!
I know, people should have listened then lol
Yeah it not a lot in cash value but it is possibly enough to cover your expenses, plus you get some exercise, some fresh air , your outside and you manage to relax in a nice environment.
So for anybody saying it’s only $21 worth I’d say it’s worth way more than that.
peter lloyd when you consider a therapist is like $100+ an hour, this is a very generous hobby!
Vo-Gus Prospecting exactly !
Very good video! I just need to find a closer creek to me
Jason Hawes order it off ebay
Maybe it’s just me, but I always look at it in the $$$ sense. In my areas the bedrock is really difficult to get to so I figure my numbers as grams per ton of material, classified or not depends on what equipment I can bring.
OffGrid OverLander that's actually similar to how it was worked out in the 1800s
Vo-Gus Prospecting one of the places I discovered while out on one of my last trips was a really old mine, probably 50-100 years old. Looks like they were mining limonite out of the mountain and the unprocessed material left at the mouth of the mine looks like it had about 200 mesh gold, but I still have to verify so I know for sure before I go back. Ironically, I was actually looking for a current claim through a membership I have, when I stumbled upon the mine.
I am in NSW i am working in the gold fields area.
I am new to wanting to try prospecting but i am unsure of the laws. There is lots of old mines everywhere but i think big mining companys have rights to the areas where all the old gold mines are. the rest of the areas are mostly private property.
How do i find places i can prospect for gold? what sort of permits do i need. i have found info on fossicking in state forests and paying permits but nothing for other places. how do i sell it if i was to find some.
If gold was found and a company has rights to that land is the gold worthless how is it checked?
If i find rocks with gold specs can i take some home to crush and pan or chip rock from old gold mines? My mate has a property close to the large copper/gold mine are we allowed to dig and disturb ground. crush rocks on private land? Does anyone experienced want to help me understand some things please
Once you've "found it" wouldn't it be better to set up a sluice of some kind instead of panning a few shovels-full at a time? (Lots more efficient productivity and money wise)
If you're chasing money, 100% yes. You must factor in running costs such as petrol but on the whole its worth it.
I however do not do this for the money, if you have been following me for a while you may have seen my videos on Mental Illness awareness. I have PTSD and this is the reason I prospect.
It was very interesting . I live in Ohio which has almost no gold but I really want to do it.
Gday im Just starting to find interest in prospecting an I find your vids awesome. Condolences on Grizz passing
You have to see what found at dollars and my local hard where store to make a sleuth. And if you're ever in Florida oh, I live on the Treasure Coast I found Spanish artifacts, and coins so you're more than welcome to come visit
Does gold collect together and get larger in nature? I always thought it just kept breaking up and becoming smaller and smaller.
You are correct, it gets smaller.
Good $tuff chris !
Why did you stop using the gold claw? Waiting for them to build the classifier topper?
Listen and Learn English watch my last gold prospecting video 😊 I explain there.
Vo-Gus Prospecting ahh must have missed it.
Just checked the crevicing video and didn't see any mention other than that they are still sponsoring your channel.
Listen and Learn English right at the start i explain that I enjoy all forms of prospecting and I'm switching back to a regular minelab pan for fun. 😊
Cheers man. I missed it again. Really do hope they make a clip on classifier though. Something that snaps on top. Would be sweet.
😁🎄 hope you have a merry Christmas . Down under 😎
Happy holidays!
An old timer making a living mining gold told me that only 1 in 200 just make a living at gold mining the rest go broke . Also said you better be a mechanic and your first priority is pay your diesel bill . Gold mining I found out the hard way is no different from a skilled trade and it takes years to learn to do it right. On the NSR a 150- 200 colors to the pan will get you about a gram from a yard of gravel about a days work
