Very very smart prospector you have done your time in prospecting and yes you never ask anyone where they found gold. When they ask you how much you've found just say "petrol money"
Cheers mate... lol....another good answer to that is, I ask them if they'd mind telling me their bank balance..... usually go strangely quiet after that... Regards Aussie
There is an added benefit to this 'chaining' exercise and I was put onto it by an old Yamatje woman when I was a kid in the Upper Gascoyne. Dragging a length of chain through the bush causes small vibrations in the ground and snakes pick up on that and will usually leave the area. Good luck.
I think marking the spots is important . . . I use wire flags. A cluster of flags, to me, indicates deeper digging in that area is probably worthwhile. Enjoyed your video. Cheers from Nevada (USA).
Hi Aussie, Do you mind sharing a little info on that particular location, you mention that it had been work by many others. I'm still learning and looking for a place to test ground and see what others have done etc. Thank you for your latest mountain gold vids, excellent work. I very interested in doing the tag along and may contact you next season.
Cheers for the thumbs up on the Mountain Gold Series. There is a cardinal rule in the prospecting world mate...never ask a prospector where he finds his gold, so sorry mate, no-can-do. All I can suggest is research mate. Regards John
@@AussieBlokeProspector mate can you give us any clue please? for example general area in western australia, it is a very massive place, i wanted to ask are you near the sunrise dam gold mine?
Try here (were Mad Max was filmed ) the street & station ( bubba) best after the wet and you pick up Nuggets below small hills but just dont go on peoples land plenty of spots off the road
Hi Aussie. Great video.... many thanks! Quick question... do you always do your ‘chain walk’ first (say up and back)? Then, if you find gold, you start boxing?
No, I threw grids out to all sides to make sure I didn't miss any - just turns out that these nuggets were essentially running in a line. Regards Aussie
Hi I been watching you videos and I love it but can you tell me where are this spots ore place in WA and VIC ... can you give as direction how to find this spots you been great help if you can send me same information how and where is good place to Prospect thanks 🙏
There is an overwhelming amount of information on Gold localities available in Librarys and on the internet. Research where others have found gold. That is always the best place to start. Good luck. Regards Aussie
G'day mate! 1. Appreciate your videos. Thanks heaps. 2. I'm a city bloke, but wondered... does all the gold on or near the surface come in red dirt ? Lastly, where is the closest place to Perth that a person could look for gold, be it in water or like you do ? Thanks for letting me see a bit of West Aus from the Perth Metro area.
You're welcome mate. WA is particularly "red" compared to the east, however in both the far north of QLD and the NT, the gold can be found in similar red conditions. As for Perth, I believe Southern Cross would be one of the closest areas for detecting...as for creeks, I am not familiar with creeks near Perth. Regards Aussie
Dear Mr Bloke, thank you for your reply... Really appreciated. FYI south west wise, Boddington and Ravensthorp have gold. That said you probably know that, but in case you don't... I wish you the best in your prospecting and again... Thank you sincerely for your reply!!
Love all your videos brother, so much detailed and TRUSTWORTHY info! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of metal detector do you use? I have a Garrett AT Pro but never found a nugget! lol Thank you again
I like your idea of boxing, but couldn't you take it one step further and use a GPS mapping program. This would be even more meaningful in an area that hasn't been "picked over" (if there is such a place).
I like the idea mate, however virtually all GPSs on the market are accurate to 3 metres max, unless you are willing to part with literally 10s of thousands of dollars to get a GPS which will go down to about 30cms (usually used by surveying companies). At only 3m accuracy, I think it would be easier to just grid. ...and yes..there are still such places in WA. regards Aussie

+TheBlues Ine I'd love to detect where you have been, because you've probably left behind a lot of gold. No one gets all the gold mate. If you think you do, then you're kidding yourself.
Bloody great clip mate. Very informative for us novices.
This UA-cam caper is the best thing since sliced bread.

That makes so much sense. I've been watching an older guy in the US called two toes who grids only. Cheers Chris.
I use it a lot when the trees are tight and hard to get around. Glad you see the logic in it. Regards Aussie
Cheers mate , every little bit of info, helps.
You're welcome mate. Regards Aussie

I never thought of that... it must work, because I rarely if ever see a snake when I'm chaining. Thanks for sharing. Regards Aussie
going to remember that gridding system thanks for the tip
You’re welcome. Yep... comes in handy where the Bush is thick. Regards Aussie
Thanks for the tips. Good luck in your search for glory 👍🏻⚒🏴
Thanks. You have the best videos out there.
Cheers mate. Regards Aussie
Enjoyed the video some great finds
very interesting video , thanks again for the great information .
+highenergyog Glad to help out. Regards Aussie.
That’s a old term Chaining. Like your thinking 👍
It certainly does work. Regards Aussie

Yep it really helps you draw a picture of what's going on. All the best over there mate, Regards Aussie

Very interesting and good to know 👍🏻
Glad you find it interesting. Good luck out there. Regards Aussie
Great INFO thanks.
+YFZMoto Your welcome mate. Regards Aussie.
May have to get a metal detector for gold ... been a coin hunter since the 80's ... Nugget hunting seems like a natural path to branch onto
Try here (were Mad Max was filmed ) the street & station ( bubba)
best after the wet and you pick up Nuggets below small hills but just dont go on peoples land plenty of spots off the road
Thanks for the tip mate. All the best. Regards Aussie
fantastic advice than you
Fantastic info :)Did you see a change in the smoothness in the nuggets from one end to the other?
+2002Dewalt The nuggets were all about the same in smoothness.. but I get what you are saying. Regards Aussie.
we do that detecting for float copper. good info.
+finpainter1 That's pretty interesting. Do you mean Native Copper. Pretty rare over here.
Aussie Bloke Prospector
do you encounter many snakes up there when your out and about, I'm in Victoria
Rarely. Regards Aussie
Hi Aussie. Great video.... many thanks! Quick question... do you always do your ‘chain walk’ first (say up and back)? Then, if you find gold, you start boxing?
Great question.. I only ever pull out a chain if I get 2 or 3 bits in close proximity and the ground is consistent. Regards Aussie
Did you continue to detect primarily in a generally straight line direction like you said you'd found these nuggets?
No, I threw grids out to all sides to make sure I didn't miss any - just turns out that these nuggets were essentially running in a line. Regards Aussie
more good info.. thanks
Very methodical.
topnotch Thanx! i'll try it here in Idaho
Good luck mate. Regards Aussie
Thank you mate
You’re welcome. Regards Aussie

Can you tell me exactly where this is place is please? I want to get this tenement for dry blower for this place if it doesn’t belong to anyone

Love all your videos brother, so much detailed and TRUSTWORTHY info! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of metal detector do you use? I have a Garrett AT Pro but never found a nugget! lol Thank you again
Glad you like 'em mate. I use a Minelab GPX 5000 and a Minelab GPZ 7000. Good luck. It will happen soon. Regards Aussie
Hi don't suppose you remember if they were running north to south , just a theory? cheers love the vids .
Tomme james as a matter of fact, I do. It was running north / south. Regards Aussie

Yes, some trees are very thorny. Regards Aussie

Chaining and gridding,, ,Wow,, what a waste of time......
