- Finally had a chance to chase Gold again after 2 weekends of just fishing. Decided to check out Tuena Creek after the 2010 floods ripped through the area. This video shows where and how to look for gold and also shows gold panning technique.
Love your videos, I've watched a lot of them, but why did you sell your Whites TDI
Thanks for watching Peter. We still have the TDI and will never sell it. We mostly use it for relic hunting these days as Liz got a very good deal on the SDC.
Very enjoyable video.First time I've seen the famous Tuena Creek on video.Keep up the great work.
I'm glad you got a little colour at Tuena....did you dig the high level washes for the coarser gold ...??? or did you dig the creek for the flood gold...??? sure to catch up with you there as we head up that way quite often...good luck and cheers ..Wal.
Glad to see you have a great attitude. Suggest you go to your local library and research gold deposits in your area. Head for the nearest with a gold pan and dig on the bedrock bars which cross the stream. Don't dig on big gravel beds, your first and best gold will be sitting on top of the bedrock....Sorry for the late reply. Just found out how to reply properly to comments. Best of luck and keep the dream alive.
i am enjoying all your vids
i'm in east vic in the Yarra valley so its a good hours drive to the gold fields
a lot of what i have watched has helped me when i have been out
and the zig zag paten on the (build a high banker that works) vid
the bread crate works a treat.
looking forward to seeing some more vids from you soon
@topster57....Sorry to disappoint you...but we don't let much get back into the river for the fossickers behind us. Years ago, we use to double pan to see how much flour gold we miss but found that, virtually zero goes over the pan using this technique and using the garrett super sluice pan.

great work guys, love the vids.....Had my first go at Tuena last week with a little luck and also head to Sofala and Turondale fairly oftne so hopefully will see you out there one day.....keep up to great work
Thanks for watching frespins, don't need a permit mate. Plenty of access for any kind of car. Good luck if ever you head out that way....Cheers Wal.
Thanks for watching Ali, hope you too can enjoy the thrill of looking for gold one day...best wishes ,Cheers Wal.
@dizzious....we live and prospect on the East Coast of Australia. Were fortunate to have fairly large gold and gemstone deposits in our region.
Checked out your channel and had a real good laugh. Love your camping style. Certainly 5 star. Hope we'll bump into you guys on one of our trips. Cheers, Wal
Thanks for watching Robert, we only do it for recreation, but you could do quite well if you took it up full time. The only down factor is that "Luck" plays a big role in what you find...all the best, Wal.
Do you need a NSW gold mine license to dig gold?
Tez88....No Tez....but you need permission to be on private property from the farmers If you are prospecting on their land. You also can’t prospect in National Parks.

Thank You for the videos, It helps give a little confidence on prospecting. I am heading to Nome this summer.
Thanks for watching Fred. We spend a lot of time watching Bering Sea Gold over here in Australia and find the prospecting for gold in that region very fascinating. All the very best of luck when you're in Nome this summer. Cheers, Wal
Not too shabby! Well done, love your videos!
Thanks for watching Nick and glad you find our vids a pleasant way to spend a rainy day. All the very best. Cheers, Wal
Do you have to carry weapons just in case someone else thinks you are in their territory?
Thanks for watching Kane. Make sure you run the banker with enough slope to keep the zig zag grill about half full...Cheers Wal.
Very nice gold, very good video. Thanks for sharing..
Hi wal...do u need a permit to dig at tuena creek ? And is there easy access to bring ur car close to the river ? Thanks mate
Liz is that a 1/4 inch sieve you're using? Thanks love all the videos from you and Wal.
Yes it is a 1/4 inch sieve, and glad you enjoy some of our adventures. All the best...Wal.
Thanks mate, you too mate. Cheers. Len
Hope you enjoyed the vid kim...If you try it some day I'm sure you will enjoy it and it can be a lot of fun...Cheers Wal.
Oh wow, thats a beautiful creek, beautiful nugget too! :D
Hi j wind......a gram will get you around $50 at the moment. This goes up and down depending on the current gold price.
Thanks for watching....Liz gets a bit too excited with the camera....but with time i can see her only improving...hopefully,,,,Cheers Wal.
You need to have Wal get you a small generator and shop vac. In that heat, moving as much dirt as possible with minimal effort seems logical. I feel you would have a higher recovery rate. 🤔
Nice gold, and I like the aggressive panning.
We're in a lucky country, where it's very difficult and against the law to carry weapons. We've been doing this all our life in the remotest parts of our country and have never encountered any form of unfriendly behavior. In fact most people you meet are chasing the same gemstones as we do and more often than not become long term friends.
Nice Wal nLiz.
Thanks for watching the vid Mrk...Cheers Wal.
I know its a long drive when I don't recognize the name of the creek or twon
Nicely done.
such a cool video my mom is so doubtful of me finding any gold at all even the tiny little pieces but i will prove her wronge!
Cool vids would you make a living off the or just a past time
wow i wish i lived in oz there is nothing like that here in the uk,nice vid nice gold as well ha ,keep diging and aim the camera a bit better please loz,,uk,
wow I'd love to dig some gold.
not a truer word spoken kanakakenaninkak , spent a lot of time up the Turon and Macquarie rivers and spent most of my chilhood pulling 2 and 3 lb rainbow trout out of tuena ck while the old man went panning.It would a very rare event if at all like my old Aussie mate said fenrigger that anyone in this great country would pull a gun on anyone in the bush God i love OZ , check out my channel on how we camp on the turon rgds MG
If i had a lake near me id pan all ay long
Lucky you =)
