@@davebudlong7860 hey hey know we really depend on our nerd bullets to protect ourselves here in good old Canada lmfao Nerf darts are a big upgrade for us CANADIAN'S 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
I've never seen anyone do that but I have heard of people in California taking metal ripple racks and bolting them down to bedrock where it is flat and using it for sluicing but pretty cool to see someone actually do it in action
The flat pan is easier to move the dirt. It fits in a bag. Not as heavy. But you're correct, easier to stuff up. I like it the best from the ones I've tried so far.
Interesting method of prospecting. I have never seen it before and never tried it. Using nature to do the work for you. The system seems to work. Thanks for sharing.😎👍👍👌👌⛏⛏
AWSOME Chris what a ripper idea Yes I do not own a sluice lol But now I do after this vid lol Must get one of those pans But not now lol my van is full lol Of old bottles and treasures If you would like some mate send me a message On FB you know we’re And I will send you some great old 1800s stuff Thanks for the shout outs of late Much appreciated I learned from you mate Cheers 🍻 give Zoe a scratch behind the ear for me And I’m out hahaha Crouch yew brew
Lmao... Australian Nerf dart!!!! I hear the US version’s are bigger! Heeeeyyyy OOOO!! Good video bud! Keep it up!! Loved the live stream the other day!!
Like yout haircut. Like your tee-shirt. Loved your dog. Like your gold. Love your channel. You're the only prospecting channel I watch despite TH-cam's algorithm.
The old timers used to dig a trench in the bedrock, riffles and all and run the water through it and do exactly what you are doing. Ion idriess describes it in his book.
CHRIS that's FREAKING brilliant as long as its bedrock at the bottom then Wow this video is AWESOME I have always heard about the old timers doing this BUT NEVER seen anyone do this THANKS CHRIS 4 A AWESOME VIDDY 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
I don’t know anything about this stuff but Instead of bringing the whole sluice couldn’t you scoop out some of the rocks in the river to make a trench and bring a long mat and place it inside the river to catch the gold to form a barrier between the pay dirt and the river bottom?
The point of this was to show that you don't need matting. The mat won't increase the gold take because it's working vastly different to a normal sluice
Vo-Gus Prospecting ok but I think it would be cool to see you try it in a video and see what the results would be. Just a suggestion from a fan. Keep up the great work. 👍
Just found out I've been unsubd from your channel after almost a year of subscription! I hope YT isn't going after you too Chris! Keep up the kick as channel man and ill keep subscribing! LOL
"Using a creek as a sluice..." !! It's been in my mind for quite some time now Well worth the Hour and fifteen minutes to watch. I never knew the old prospectors did, but stands to reason. I've even watched you Chris, move rocks around to improve flow into a sluice. Being a broke rrse pensioner I've learnt to think way beyond 'envelopes'!
What a very good idea ! It's so obvious, why didn't we all think of it before? Perhaps we are so "kit-minded" these days, we overlook some great, old-timer methods....
Similar to when banks get erroded naturally concentrating gold & is called sloshing. I have knocked down undercut banks before big rains are due & on returning found nature has pushed the overburden away leaving a line of gold behind. Work smart 👍🏼
That's a bomb way to wash a carpet. The Argonauts lined up fleeces along hollowed out logs. Ok I just found they are mythical but still, under the stones you could hold down a rug.
Do you ever use the small river sluice you can carry in with a backpack? It's only about 3 foot and just uses the power of the creek. Nice experiment 👍 but I think a sluice would be better
Wow Chris that worked incredible. I wonder if it would be better to just drop some of that "expanded metal"? Is it called? I feel like it would be easy to carry in from the car.
P.s frigin awesome idea man iv 9ften wondered if it was possible to do with out major losses and now im gona try this. In theory chris if i grabbed to long length bits of broken bed rock and placed them horrizontal to the stream inches apart and place them 1/3 way down would it be safe to say the gold would nest in that point and would still allow the sands to filter out this is frigin handy. Love ya work u legend an chris i rekin you need to start a vogus gold bible lol
This is really cool. I had once pictured doing something similar in my mind only thing i was thinking was making a dam like a catchment wall at the bottom for the super fines but longer seems to work just as good
I am soo jealous of how easy you make it look to find gold Chris, and there is always something new to learn every time I watch one of your videos. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍
Excellent idea now if you use a screen on top and make a flat spot for your mat underneath you’ve got simple way to move the overburden away and super easy clean up from the mat and the gold won’t travel away down the sluice😬 thx for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
That's awesome to see cuz that describes a lot of river beds where I live hmmm have you ever tryd to use cardboard as a mat b4 and how was ur results ..... damn man I thought we where going overboard again lol thanks for the quick hand out as I cant swim lol and yea got a bit more chunkier bits in there too cuz I was thinking it was .3 or .2 at first sweet find n awesome live stream cant wait to send yea guys some cool rocks
If finding gold is as easy as finding it, the price would not be so high. It was your films that I went to the rivers and spent a lot, I did not see anything
Hey Chris, what a great idea ! I love it !! Excellent way to run material, then take the cons home for processing. A garden rake would be helpful removing stones downstream. I like how you piled them along the sides for better flow. Every effective technique. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing mate !!
Love your channel man. Always great content, brilliant idea letting mother nature do the work. Keep up the good work you constantly do. Just a quick one, do you watch Dan Hurd prospecting?
Wow Chris! That was very cool. I never thought of making a natural sluice. You taught me something today. Great content. Have you given up on the Garrett pans completely? Is there still a place for them?
The Chinese would make huge stone made "sluice box's" up in Queensland on the hills fill it full of pay dirt the wait for rain or throw buckets of water over it for awhile and worked pretty well
This was awesome! Pretty Old School Genius stuff! We have Plus or Minus Kitchen Strainer, Klesh Guitar Pick and now.... Australian Nerf Dart! 🤣😂🤣 I love this!
I like to do this with my tailings when I have a big pile of them
That's actually a really good idea.
Vo-Gus Prospecting yeah it’s actually a really good way to flush the really fine gold out of them
That's what I was thinking when I read your comment. Then just suck it all up a little down stream.
Thats a frigin unreal idea man esp with some of the old tailin piles left about close to the streams an it allows you to process a decent amount fast unreal idea Geoffyplayz
Enjoyed the video 🕳️⛏️🇺🇸
Outstanding, it's so simple it's scary. And don't worry about GRIZZLY he's right there with you ALWAYS
No griizzly? 😢
Are you sure that was an Australian nerf dart at the end? It looked like a US caliber to me. ;-)
5.56 NATO nerf
Freedom calibre?
It looked Canadian to me, you sure Paulie didn't lose one when he was there :-)

Are you allowed to use actual suction dredges in Australia I was just wondering
Can you add Turkish subtitles to your videos? Pls
Hi Chris,
Nice idea about the sluice, but I am really curious over the new flat bottomed Batea. How does it work compared to a pointy bottomed Batea?
i see you changed patea pans to the flat bottom one, does it work much differently than pointed one? be safe out there Chris cheers
I'm also wondering this, I feel like it might have more of a tendency to blow out gold if you are too aggressive compared to the normal batea.
The flat pan is easier to move the dirt. It fits in a bag. Not as heavy. But you're correct, easier to stuff up. I like it the best from the ones I've tried so far.
Great video and wonderful idea. Cheer m8.
Cheers buddy
That's a different pan to the one you normally use nice chunky gold to
Always a great show :) I gotta try this river sluice!

This is great info Chris! Now grow the beard back and we really wanna see the mold on the hat. 😂
You an that mouldy old hat😅🤘love the use of nature's natural 👍sluice oh knowledgeable one😁🍀 take care🍀
Awesome!!
Damned good results for just a shovel, yabby pump, bucket, and pan.
Too video as always 👊. Where can I get a yabby pump like yours. If you made it, can I get some information please.
woowo grats ;) realy cool to use that nature bedrock ;) awsome ;)
Wow a common sense thing that makes you face palm , y didnt i think of that before.🇺🇲⛏️👍🍺🇦🇺

Very cool. Awesome videos here been watching them for a while now. And really awesome you using the creek has a natural river sluice. 👍
Your pretty much the modern day Jesus of prospecting 😂 hahaha

Way cool l never saw that method before thanks for the adventure TANK

Great video man and that was cool love you videos keep up the great work 👍👍👍
I've seen this done in California non the American river and seen people walk away with decent gold... Very neat
Excellent idea now if you use a screen on top and make a flat spot for your mat underneath you’ve got simple way to move the overburden away and super easy clean up from the mat and the gold won’t travel away down the sluice😬 thx for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
What an amazing way to concentrate.
Good idea if you are without the sluice.👍
Thats really cool man and whats more, it's even legal in places where a 'sluice box' isnt.
I would try doing the same thing with a rectangular black plastic underlay with a small wall down the end to try and stop any losses
That's awesome to see cuz that describes a lot of river beds where I live hmmm have you ever tryd to use cardboard as a mat b4 and how was ur results ..... damn man I thought we where going overboard again lol thanks for the quick hand out as I cant swim lol and yea got a bit more chunkier bits in there too cuz I was thinking it was .3 or .2 at first sweet find n awesome live stream cant wait to send yea guys some cool rocks
Another cool method. Every day is a school day. 👍🏻⚒
Interesting. what is the source of the gold ?
wow what great day out fam. keep on the hunt. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Good day sir, i noticed the pan you were using had a flat bottom is that just a different style Betea pan ?i thought the Betea pan went to a point .
If finding gold is as easy as finding it, the price would not be so high.
It was your films that I went to the rivers and spent a lot, I did not see anything
Man that water was cold good thing you pick me up I can't swim lol 😝
Genius! I can do that here in So. California where we aren't allowed to do more than dig and pan. Rainy season is coming and I'm makin' plans!
That's it, you're not using a Sluice. You're literally only digging.
Malicious compliance lol
I was at Kern River yesterday, dang beurocrats closed it off. They say cuz of the virus. What a bunch of BS.
Don't get caught I could see California saying you can't do that anymore you can't use a river as a river LOL
Thats some smart thinking if your in a jam..love the video
That an American nerf dart I know this cause it was made in CHINA
Great idea but did you check to make sure that there was no gold in that Creek before you started
This is exactly the same way we used 2 do it in tassie on the small creeks! Just stomp the creek bed up n suck up where it settles 🥰
Nice, those pioneers were so innovative. I put a carpet in a creek to catch gold one time. Never got back to see the results tho.

mate, what a grouse idea will have to try this and thanks for another great vid peace bro
Pleasure spending my entire Sunday evening with You and Zoe.
When i saw your title....
World’s best sluice i thought maybe you were messing around in my shop last night 🤣
I guessed 45. I'm getting good. Lol great video
That's crazy cool Chris...👌😁
Well that was unexpected and interesting!
Thats a cool idea for places sluices arnt allowed! Love it!
Never heard of this method , great video as always!
I thought you had a great idea keep the faith my brother
Love it! Will put this activity to good use at some point in my prospecting adventures. Cheers Chris
Please do!
Awesome idea and nice results! That flow amount is perfect for that test :)
Cool video good idea be safe & pan on
I said point 5 without looking first was sooooo close
i love 'liking that smash button!' lol
Very cool. I like the way you think!
Good idea
Never thought of doing that.
Your Australian Nerf darts looks so much like our American ones... The similarities between our countries is remarkable.
LoL
Hey, it's not the size alright. It's how fast or reaches its target
Love your channel man. Always great content, brilliant idea letting mother nature do the work. Keep up the good work you constantly do. Just a quick one, do you watch Dan Hurd prospecting?
Yes I do. Dan is a big fan of my channel also
Australian nerf dart. Hilarious!
Wow Chris! That was very cool. I never thought of making a natural sluice. You taught me something today. Great content. Have you given up on the Garrett pans completely? Is there still a place for them?
100% there is a place for a normal pan. Just I like these pans a lot
Keep on gold adventure mate
Near a half a gram! Great experiment!!
When will merch become available in the US? I want to rep the grizzley merch all the way in Wisconsin
Should be this week. Keep an eye on the site
Awesome vids you have 😃 we want to try prospecting in some of the creeks we have explored in West Wodonga. Keep up the awesome work 🤜🤛
Good luck!
The Chinese would make huge stone made "sluice box's" up in Queensland on the hills fill it full of pay dirt the wait for rain or throw buckets of water over it for awhile and worked pretty well
We have some of those here in vic. There's a big one in the creek I work and a few smaller ones.
Chris where did you get your pump? You've been it for years the one's in the states suck I'd like to buy one like that!👍🐍
Fishing shop called BCF in Australia
Saweet ! Whoda thought.
This was awesome! Pretty Old School Genius stuff!
We have Plus or Minus Kitchen Strainer, Klesh Guitar Pick and now....
Australian Nerf Dart! 🤣😂🤣 I love this!
Just subscribed to your channel. We’re you from USA?
I'm Australian
I don’t know if you have posted it or said it, but how much gold have you found?
No idea, given away a few ounces and I've never weighed it all.
That is cool⛏️😎👌
