The Old Miners found GOLD here but can Levi?

- In this video i go to an area of historic mining history to see if the gold in this location is large and flat as described by the prospectors in olden times. The gold was describet as "flat like rolled oats"
Join me on my adventure as I snipe and detect a creek where miners of old found a lot of gold in the early days of Tasmania's mining boom.
His intro is like “I know you’re watching this high!”
😶 how did he know I'm on to you Levi 😑
Thanks Levi. Another great one. I now have my suit and will be heading out for a try soon!
Awesome Chris I wish you luck
Beautiful 🌿💚🌿 off to have some Gold Label oatmeal for breakfast 😉 Old timers sure have great descriptions!
Really enjoy your drone footage and focus on plants unique to Tasmania. Choice of music works well with your scenes too. Thanks Levi, and maybe those old miners we’re looking over your shoulder🤔as I’m thinking that creek looked the same when they first prospected there all those years ago. Keep up your great work and effort, cheers mate👍
Cheers mate I reckon they’d be laughing at me 😁
Always enjoy what ever video you post. Sniping is exciting though as we can see first hand what you're seeing as it appears. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video Levi, it must be satisfying after hearing the Old-timers account of "gold like rolled oats" then going there and finding exactly that! keep up the good work.
Yeh it makes the history come to life I love that part of it
Nice area mate.🍺
The banks of the creek are fairly flat and that bedrock would be relatively shallow in some places.... great detecting area.
Remember that creek has changed its course many times in millions of years and there may be richer channels now buried.
Worth a go anyway.
Yes I’m thinking I should get the 4500 on the task 👍🏼 just gotta learn to use it properly 😂
Great video Levi. You and Pioneer Pauly have inspired me to try sniping. What a blast.
Loved the Start of the video.
The drone shots are beautiful...
Damn... let it grow a d go again
Congratulations on your finds Levi
Yvette Varcoe thanks Yvette I don’t like letting them grow but let’s hope it’s a good luck omen 👍🏼😁
I'm telling you, that looks like so much fun watching you sniping for gold. There are so many places I want to go and try sniping myself here in the US. Thanks for showing great techniques and where to look.
No worries get into it sniping is such a fun way to find gold
1.1 grams. Not a bad day my friend! Love the intro as always! I always dig your selection of music. One thing I like about you or channel is that it mentally takes me there. It's a very mysterious area and very beautiful. Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks so much mate it’s great hearing stuff like that helps keep me motivated it would be unfair of me not to share my adventures with others I’m very lucky to do what I do
Keep up the good work its hard enough trying to find gold then you've got NitWitz complaining you didn't find enough.
Well done
Yeh thanks mate it’s always hard work but well worth it... usually 😂👍🏼
Right on Levi, another good day on the gold. See you on the next adventure my friend.
Nice little haul! It would almost pay to bring a pan and a yabi pump with you. At least in the new areas like this one,when water levels are unknown. Cheers!
Yes I know what sort of prospector leaves the pan and pump at home
Apparently you should have a Yabbi Pump with you. I know of them as a hand dredge in Canada, but Chris at Vogus talks about them all the time. And it being a tool to get crayfish or crawdads.
Yeh I have one I wished I’d taken it I was expecting more water 💦
I had the opposite problem today - hiked out to a land destination to detect, and the access was flooded! Had to get pretty creative to get in there. Glad you still came out with some 'rolled oats', hehe. Happy hunting :)
Argh bugger yes can be frustrating taking the effort to get to a location only to find the water is not cooperating 😖
You've got a GREAT LOOK LEVI ..NICE 👍 & I like your channel, also!! What a GOLD RUSH! Yup.. Thanks, 😺😎
hey great gold it's there .thank you for sharing the adventure. your showing me places i will probably never see in my lifetime in person. and sharing the history of it .i don't think it gets any better than that.
No worries at all yeh I think it would be unfair to keep my adventures all to myself I realize im very fortunate to do what I do thanks for tuning in 👍🏼
Hey Levi, by the way, I absolutely love the name it's a perfect name in my opinion! I have been watching Abyss Dredging and they will sometimes take rocks and build a small dam with rocks to increase the water level for their dredge, most times they can raise the level 6-8 inches just using rocks to block it up. I know it won't work all the time but it's a great way to do things at times. I told them about your channel and it turns out they are already watching your channel, they are across the pond there in New Zealand. It's pretty crazy what a small world we live in at times. Love your videos and honestly,
I only have one small complaint and that is I don't like the music you overlay on your videos, just hearing you walk through the woods and in the water is enough for me, maybe others could comment on what they think too. Have an awesome day and you have a great family as well.
I'm totally sorry for you losing your brother as well, I lost a nephew who was special to all of us as he was an amazing kid, but he took his own life, it was also mental illness. He left behind 3 kids an adorable wife and a family who loved him dearly, it was very hard to lose him. Keep your chin up as GOD has a way of healing all our hurts. GOD BLESS and have a great day!
With the low water level, it was like watching superman 2, when he didn't have his powers. Good job Levi, way to persevere mate!
Haha yes I looked useless didn’t I 😂
Yes I love your sniping videos. I’m doing some of that now in our local river on hot days. Have found some pieces but hasn’t added up to a gram yet. Thanks for the video
Very interesting video with the history, flat gold, and scenery. You haven’t put out a disappointing video in my opinion.
Love that Tassie scenery buddy, you get some cool footage with ya drone. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate
that was really good. well enjoyed watching the flat gold and how you get right in there to get it out them cracks. jamie and Rachel
Thanks guys 👍🏼👍🏼
Good job on the gold...keep on digging and thanks for the videos..and scenery shots...
Still a good $100 worth of gold and well worth the effort. Magnificent scenery and great filming. Just beautiful in Tassie. I hope it remains the beautiful last frontier.
Thanks Neil yes it will stay good for sometime yet I hope
Love this adventures. Great entertainment. Greetings Goldjunge tom
Another great watch brother! Doing well 🤙 realy enjoy watching your vids, keep it up 🤙⛏🧀🔥🤪
Thanks mate cheers for that and I will do 👍🏼👍🏼
Good video mat! Watch out for the Yowee! Someone ran in into one in there last video!!
😂 yes Shaun needs to be careful out there drop bears about too 😉
I've never had to walk away from a piece of gold I can't imagine how that would be and I don't want to know. Handy when you know the size of the gold in an area, A sluice box would be good to use there put all the deep gravel through it.
Yes first time I’ve left a piece also and yes sluice or highbanker would be more productive mate even a Pan would have been better 😂
Killer day. The gold paid for your gas and the fun was free. Best hobby ever!
Very nice stream for gold, beautiful forest, hug my friend, from Brasil.
hello mate of the yellow metal and the GM1000, I love your videos snorkeling collecting gold in that field I am still in practice but detecting with the goldmonster I have more practice and from experience I would tell you that if you can detect dry better, when there is a Little water makes it difficult to remove a picker or nugget from the crack and I advise you to use the pan to clean the earth that surrounds the objective and even if it is very slight the signal clears the crevice well. You are the fucking boss diving, continue like this partner, a greeting from Spain
Thanks heaps mate yeh I should have had a Pan aswell I was trying to keep packed light for the journey but next time I go there for sure
Brother, I really like your videos. Always adventure. Thank you. Keep doing it!...
Thanks heaps
Such an amazing video mate!!!! Keep it up
I would definitely enjoy a bowl of those rolled oats for breakfast. In fact, I might even go back for seconds. Interesting location Levi.
Hello Levi, greetings from Venezuela. I do not remember which was the first video of yours that I saw and from that moment I have not stopped watching them, the most awaited moment is when you weigh your findings. When you prospect in a single day of exploration, you get just over a gram. Do you know how much a gram of Gold counts in Venezuela, today, Monday, August 17, it is at 18,812,076.32 Bolívares, if we take into account that the minimum salary in Venezuela is: 800,000.00 Bolívares, we are talking about a day of work prospecting and being lucky you can find the equivalent of 23 months' salary. That's why the gold rush is entering me. I hope one day to show my findings and have a comment from you on my channel. I'll see you in the next video you make.
Thanks mate I wish you all the very best keep at it I’m sure you have gold in those rivers there somewhere sounds like you could get quite wealthy if you have success there 👍🏼👍🏼
Good vid Levi. Never see u anymore! You must be out n about too much. And i have a ripper pair of titanium tweezers.... when i find them I'll show ya
Great video Levi. Be sure to get back to that creek when the water is up!! Loads of good bedrock. As always be safe n have fun mate :)
Thanks mate will do
Yes it’s all good stuff great to know there’s detectable gold too
Levi you could do a temporary dam on that creek, just may take some time, but it would raise the water level a few inches, just enough to snipe some of those cracks.
Yeh it’s a good plan 👌🏼
Good ground down there aye luv that ck gets a bit snakey though n there rippers too great vid shags cheers
I was thinking about how much the snakes would love that spot in summer 😂 I hear your a movie star 😉
@@officialtassieboysprospecting yeah mate heard a similar rumor about u too I can't put into words how proud of all involved I am , we need to get together for a beer and get to know each other session it'd be a laugh for sure Dave wil be in touch mate cheers
Hi Fellow Treasure hunter... Love you're vlogs. Exstreamely entertaining and educational. Showing my fellow hunters some much deserved love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦. Keep them comming mate...
Thanks so much mate love right back to ya 👍🏼👌🏼👊🏼
Like the visuals, the music is awesome. Thanks Levi
Thankyou
You should bring a pan and follow those cracks that move up and out of the water past the banks. Those cracks could hold gold from when the river floods over the banks.
Good job, snipe im getting in all ur videos.
Excellent....need to pick up a gold monster, using the MineLab 4500 which is fine for deep larger gold, but that monster is a damn good (lightweight) machine. Great video as always Levi...thanks again....!
They are a good machine I just got myself a 4500 just learning how to use it
Love you’re video making as well as the content💯👌🏽
Thankyou
Heyyy I just went out to Nanango 7 mile digging in Qld Australia with some detectors, all thanks to you inspiring me to get out there hahaha. Still haven't found anything yet but I'm keen, keep up the great vids love them all
Awesome mate glad to hear it keep at it and you’ll be on the gold soon 👌🏼
Love the video keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍👍
Good stuff Levi. Next time you find something that you cant identify could you please bring it home for some closeup pics?
Yeh I should have I realized it would be impossible for you to identify from that footage will do next time
@@officialtassieboysprospecting That area of Tas is very interesting from a geological perspective. I know you like the yellow but there could be other stuff there that would put a smile on your face. Keep up the good vids Levi!
Another beautiful location with some rewards, cheers Levi
Thanks Evan 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Levi,
could be as simple as a iron rich rock, then again it could be a meteorite. ☄️💫
You should carry a small heavy metals magnet 🧲 to check.
Meteorites are rare finds and can be worth a bit of 💰
love all the snipping mate. And scenic videos.
your the master. 🍻
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it... you do you bro...👍
but a pan can be handy tool to carry for helping clean out crevices when waters are so shallow , even a very small pan can be useful, Those suck tubes I see some guys use along with the gold monster , a bucket and pan may be a good idea 🤔 for them colder days ☃️... hate to see you get anymore frostbite 🥶
That was some awesome gold! Thanks for sharing!
i don t know what you have against flat gold;-)))it looks so similar to most our gold which is pretty flat and bit rusty sometimes. very nice creek awesome , first time i see someone actually moving dirt down into a crevice to snipe it out;-)that was pretty funny i thought, lying there on the bedrock like a stranded mackerel;-)))great video!
Like a beached whale mate
Nice spot mate 👍🏻
Thank you for yet another wonderful video. In my opinion (which does not matter much) I would suggest space metal, meteorites. Once again wonderful job.cheers
Thanks Irene
Levi awesome find man, goodluck on your next hunt.
16:04 you can clearly see gold in the gravel second hit its exposed and it fell , noooooooo levy see it and go back for those gravels
It was a nugget tooo levi*
Please up vote so he sees it
Just watched a few times and not seeing it...
@@procrastinator1727 16:04:35
@@procrastinator1727 try pausing on the second hit like on 16:04.35
AS ALWAYS LOVE YOUR WORK
The rock (15:45) looks like Scorodite. An Aggregate crystal high in Iron.
Thanks very much 👍🏼
You might've found a small meteorite fragment , when broken open they look like metallic silvery brassy look , sometimes crystalline metal structures. All are magnetic .
GOOD JOB LEVI THE OLD TIMERS LEFT U SOMETHING SWEET LOL. AND A FANTASTIC JOB ON THE INTRO your getting a hell of alot better its amazing ok I won't talk long today so be safe out there by yourself LEVI👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
Thanks heaps Clint 👍🏼👍🏼
Mate, it's about the adventure. Gold is good, but 1/2 the fun is in research then boots on the ground. Love seeing our West Coast. Great b roll images as well. Question, in 100 years will you be referred to as "the ol' timer"? Just a thought. :-)
Thanks mate haha I feel like I’m getting to be an old timer I tell ya, would be cool if someone remembers me as an old timer
Great video, maybe take a pan and do a quick test on the soil. Everyone likes a quick test within the area.
Yes I was kicking myself I didn’t take a Pan
Thank you.
Andy
Very good job...brazil🇧🇷 thanks
Gday Levi, alwys love your stuff (although it makes me homesick). I don't think I missed it but would you be able to spend a minute showing us how you know the difference between a good signal and shite on the detector. Those noises all sound the same to me. Keep up the good work.
No worries Randall I’ll get that in there somewhere the tone can be the same with the goldmonster but they have a signal bar on the display that tells wether it’s ferrous or non ferrous metal. Also if it’s a hot bedrock it’s can be a more delayed sound gold is usually quite zippy sounding
Maybe film some of your Exploration Discovery Adventures, it doesn't HAVE to be all about the GOLD - after all, you are in Tassie (I'm sure there are loads of peeps out there that would enjoy seeing these amazing areas that they never would otherwise!) there are ALL sorts of Adventures to be had off the beaten track. Nice job, keep safe. 😎🐾🦘⛏😬 Some of those arials were gorgeous!
Thanks I think you’re right i could do a variety of things here that should interest, hopefully 👍🏼👍🏼
@@officialtassieboysprospecting Well I don't think anyone else is doing it, & in the current climate of greatly reduced travel & Adventure Ops virtual has to be better than nothing, you'd think? Keep safe & enjoy! :)
Enjoy your adventures, thank you for sharing
Thanks
Nice work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Thanks TAS hope your getting some time in yourself we gotta do that trip together soon buddy 👍🏼
Tassie Boys Prospecting 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
It’s nice when it’s close together👍
😂
It is Iron Stone, if you have a magnet it will stick to it. :)
Leaving your gold pan at home is like not having any toilet paper.When gold is flat it usually because it has been beaten for many years and carried by glaciers for miles.I know of some creeks here in Washington State,USA that have flat flakes just like that creek.There is no gold deposits for over 100 miles from that creek,up in British Columbia,CA.The glaciers in the last ice age carried the gold to deposit it in morans and the creeks only concentrated the gold.Most of the gold sets on a clay layer far above bedrock on those creeks.No enough to pay but fun to just pan out for show its there.
The gold here in NW Tasmania is exactly as you describe glacial and our creeks have just concentrated it no real source at least not that anyone will find
I love oatmeal for breakfast 👍🏻I’d be heading back there with a pan for sure it would be faster and I’m sure no one would mind a change up in the vid once in a while great vid as usual see you on the next one👊🏻
Yeh I should have had my Pan and yabby 😖
Tassie Boys Prospecting yes but who knew the water would be so low especially after rain 👊🏻
Looks like the monster went ok mate. Probably get a bit panning or sluicing that creek
Yeh should of had the Pan and yabby
Love the gold your gettin great job bud 👍
Have ever tried detecting any old dried up Creek beds. Could be good hunting.
Tuff one this time hey. Low water is always an issue whatever type of prospecting we do unless u run a dry blower and u still need water to do a cleanup. 😎✌️
U can also clean gold dry if u are skilful at dry panning
Yeh I should have had my Pan and yabby pump
Another great video.. love watching no matter how much gold you find
Thanks so much
Loved the intro! What kind of light did you find that is waterproof enough to snipe with?
It’s just from local supermarket energizer I wrap electrical tape around the battery compartment and seems to work fairly well but could do with a few more lumens
Good Stuff Levi😎.. This maybe a silly Question, I've seen others using a Yabby Pump, would that be any help to you.. Or too much to carry down the slopes..?
Yeh Debra id wished I had taken my yabby pump and Pan it may have been more rewarding 👍🏼
Love what ya do, great fun to watch. Really liked the guitar music and would love to know who the artist is?
I’ll try follow up
Thank you
thanks levi
Wow those are some flat prices. I'm also into gem's. Do you come across any on your adventures. Keep up that love of the hunt
Yeh quite a few topaz and sapphires in some creeks in Tas
Oh man. Id like to get some them. I can only say you are truly blessed in such a beautiful place .
leech proof suit for the win
The low water is ideal for a yabby pump , cheers
Yes I should have taken my Pan and yabby 😖
THANKS AGAIN LEVI FOR THE VIDEO WORK AND SEEING TASMANIA VIRTUALLY. TOO BAD CRAKE COULDN'T FREE UP THE NUGGET FOR YOU. MAY HAVE TO MAKE HIM A BIG BROTHER. HOW MUCH GOLD HAVE YOU GRABBED SINCE STARTING? ANY GOLD LEFT WHERE YOU GUYS FOUND THE MONSTER NUGGET ON THE BANK OF THE RIVER?
There’s more gold there mate I have a little bit of gold now 😁 👍🏼👍🏼 nearly 5 ounces last season
Looks like a minni dredge would be the ticket.Or I should ask-can you use a dredge in Tazzi.Seen one once- I think it was being used in Romania if I;m correct.
I’d certainly love to but we’re not allowed 😖
Makes you wonder did they run a stamper up stream or does that gold get that flat from the ground Have a good day and prospect on
There’s a point 👍🏼👍🏼
Small but It's still gold. Keep going and we like it..
I do like music at the start. great video mate
Cheers mate
Also work some gravel with a pan: could it be a nice idea, in places where gold is pretty flat...?
Yes I should have had my Pan and pump
Oats for breakfast money for jam we’ll done Levi 👍⛏🍀
Dan heard prospecting ran across the chain of black gold you need to chemical test that stuff just a thought
Always great to prospect thats what i love and lucky u had the monster
That last bit..... u looked and sounded like simon evans!
Good gold going Mate
Few weeks work in that location with higher water and you could be able to sit down to a bowl of delicious golden weaties
AWSOME Levi been bush mate for a bit
I. Geraldton now getting new Tyers lol 😂
Done in three so far more to come lol
I use my goggles off my face in shallow water like that
A tube of pvc with Perspex short would do the trick ay
Yes eyes must focus at close range lol
Cheers mate
Crouch
Yeh that would work mate cheers and hope those flats stop happening bloody cruel on tyres out there 👍🏼
Tassie Boys Prospecting yea me too lol lol 😂
Nice work (504) Finding the Earth’s the earths vains is harder than it appears later the pizza 🍕 boys at my door 🚪 this is my gold today 4, coners Large 🍕🎹🍕
