Speaking my language, I tell everyone the same thing real fact!

great finds mate

Nice finds.

Well done, beautiful gold. Will you end up crushing the species?

Pffft! Is that all? 😁 Nah mate, well done. I've got just over 1 ounce this year. Happy days

12oz in 3 years? Thats commitment and pain.

💪

Great channel ❤

Spread the word leave state forests alone

Gotta earn it mate the push into a shitty situation bad weather sketchy remote unknowns is what I kinda like doing the most always find a bit always come home wiser on the locations secrets too it’s a fun time even if it sux a little bit ,great advice cobba hope you find heaps cheers

Fantastic, your approach is a rare insight into a fulfilling and hopefully successful mode of prospecting. operations, I am a huge fan of understanding human behaviour and the practice of ‘adaptive leadership’ to get the best out of yourself when placed under pressure to get a job done, a 36 yr career in emergency services and a dose of Parkinson’s disease has taught me resilience and to follow process which I now apply to gold detecting, thanks Terra.

Well said, Cheers

Its too hot. Its too wet. Grass is too long!

How many carats does that gold nugget have?

Does it do OK with tiny little bits of gold like less than a quarter gram? Or is there a better choice in this budget range? Only have small stuff in my area.

I am just venturing into smelt and pours. LOVE you efforts, and the helpful comments. I will be melting .999 Philharmonics, and .9999 Maples, but have some borax handy in case needed for milk spots. Great job! New sub and LIKE smasher.

to do this stuff more than someone lost their skin. the type of rotor of the 22 is not designed to do these things, flying it in this way and getting out of the helicopter unharmed means being a miracle. seeing these videos it doesn't come to me to think that the pilot is cool but he is just reckless then people say that the 22 is a coffin if you use it for something for which it should not be used and considering how many there are around I would say that it is anything but a coffin, in fact it is a good father of the family because if it were not so there should be at least double the number of deaths.

Terrific commentary,have and are experiencing all the 10lessons you have spoken about,and can relate to it all , it’s a hobby and you must treat it that way,the unexpected is the trill of your adventure and experience,thank you 👍some people will be on the same page 🙏👍

You need a panning chair and don't forget to tell people the best time to pan is between 10.00am and 2.00pm for better sun clarity, are you sure it isn't "fools gold", I still won't buy a 20kg bag to check up on you or Vo Gus. have a good day.

Hreat vids nice kept to 10mins

Im out full time, its Novermber 20 today. If you really want to find more gold, I strongly believe you need ro treat it like a job. Time for reaserch and then time for hunting, and time to switch off. The key is to pick some ground and scan the ground well, patch hunting takes for ever with days and weeks with 0 targets. Sure the new 6000 has made it so old ground you can find tiny gold, but you need to do it differently to everyone else. Im currently 220kms north of Laverton WA, up where the indigenous say there is no gold, I have foud some traces, so I keep hunting. Hunting for gold is extremely hard on the body and mind, but I love the life style. 326 grams last year and on our way to beat that this year with a couple of multiple oz nuggets. Work hard and enjoy the bush 👍

Great advice right there! 😊

You should have learned how to do this before making the video friend

Bad pour

Use everything you can. Watch other prospectors to see how it's done. Use old maps, surveys, newspaper clippings, mine registration, to see where gold was found in the past. Where, what size, what concentration.

Thanks for the advice....I haven't started yet... probably next dry season. I'm 90 minutes from Pine Creek where I hope to find my first peice of gold Cheers

look for flour gold. the kind your eyes cant see. +++

Nice common sense advice. Love the troll circus guy and his man eating chicken tent. Heck a cobra chicken just flew by

As others have already said, don't get rid of the flux, it will contain gold, weigh your gold and at 50% borax, 2nd, don't drop the larger bits of gold into the crucible when it's hot as The crucible may break at the bottom. I have had this happen. 3rd, get yourself some map gas for your ingot to get it to temperature instead of placing it on top of the furnace. These are just some tips that I have learnt over the years from trial and error.

1,947 F “this makes gold very easy to melt.” Right because I totally have something in my garage that can reach 2000+ F

4 ounces of Gold is a pathetic amount, but this guy is suddenly an Authority on it all Your a joke😂

The neighbors ask Larry to look for gold in their creek, Larry runs up and down the creek and then yells "right there, give me a stick" he then dug up a 1.5g nugget. With a STICK. Larry the human metal detector. Un-frinkin-real

Great words of wisdom my friend. Thanks for sharing your gold experience with the community. Stay safe and blessed brother. 😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Thanks for sharing the information and your experience!!

I think bummymcneedy is definitely a armchair expert

SAY IT IN A MIRROR, LOOK INTO YOUR OWN EYES, SAY "I AM A HOBBYIST"

This dude is actually censoring me, typical soft aus behavior

Great Words Terra, life choices are a life balance, remember the song 'Cat's in the Cradle' I've edited it a l'l bit but if I let prospecting define who I am then I risk never getting time with my five kids, ''My detector arrived just the other day It came in the post in the usual way But there were nuggs to dig, and bills to pay It learned to dig holes while I was away And it was find'n gold before I knew it, and as it grew It'd say "I'm not gonna be like you, dad" "You know I'm not gonna be like you"

Great information there. Yes I treat it as a hobby, don't expect to get a life changing nugget, it'd be nice but I'm happy with my hobby.

Don't throw the flux/glass out. it will contain gold. I worked in a goldroom for a few years. You should weigh the gold and put 50% of the weight in borax in. Potassium Nitrate and Soda ash are oxidising agent and will help increase the %au in the pour. Try about 5% by weight of each and a little sand helps viscosity. Or you can buy premixed fluxes online which would be easier. Have fun

This is horrible advice, because if you treat it like a hobby, then you won't find success, you need to live out there in a tent eating birds. Calling yourself a "prospector" and calling it a "pass-time" is a logical paradox, it's an oxymoron.

Give me the actual time you were out in field? Did you live out there like your supposed to do? Prospecting isn't a hobby it's a 24/7 job

nice bar mate

Fantastic Video. We are newbies too. I'll remember to keep a Heater on the mould at all times. Keep up the great Work. Shalom Eleichem 😢🎉

Good video. Now your job is find enough nuggets to make more bars. Cheers

Good video. What does putting it into acid do?

tip keep the flax, it has gold inside of it. big mining companies keep it and re-smelt it. also some flox sometimes will have gold drops in it from the main gold body.
