Thank goodness you have a shaded water pool for summer.
That’s what saves us and the dogs 💦
46°!!!That can't be fun anymore. I'm whinging and giving up when it gets around and over 37° in FNQ
Hot there! I just got off my tractor - snow plowing in -16F wind chill. I was thinking of you guys - I think I'll take the cold. I can dress for that. Clint - have you ever thought of making a brush saw style system for holding the detectors? We used to run 20lb (5.2cc) saws all day long in huge heat. I think even your biggest detectors weight less than that. The harness puts the weight on your shoulders - not you arm. Quick release - hook on the harness, metal loop on the saw shaft. You two already have the harness - put some bicycle type handle bars on a detector and see how it works - you're plenty savvy and can modify it from there - maybe get a little balance between the detector head and behind the hook. Love and look forward to your videos!
I saw a video where the guy had the detector mounted on a Jeep.. he found two giant nuggets that way..
Clint just uses a bungee cord attached to the harness while I use a hip stick to transfer the weight of the detector ⛏️ It’s great that there are different ways to make things easier 👍🏻
Love the videos of you and Clint detecting and doing home improvements. It is a rare opportunity to see what gold adventures are like down under. I am also of German descent, so your trips home are awesome as well. I wish you both the very best, keeps us filled in on the next "patch!"
Thanks for tagging along ⛏️
Im glad to see you again, have been missing your vids, Although with those sort of temperatures I doubt that you could pry me out of the water tank. It seems it was to hot for the fly's as well. Hope you get on to some good patches soon, Cheers!
Thanks! We’ll try to get some more good patches as soon as it cools down 😓
Great to see you two back looking forward to seeing future adventures 😊
We’ll be back with more videos soon!
Always Nice to hear what you're doing.
So glad to see you guys back ❤
🎉❤ dear Krissy Clint.
Been Salvilating for a New Video. And seeing your efforts, and what you unearthed.
We understand the Temps, the hard times and detecting. everyone is doing it now
But , we believe in you 💗.
Keep up the great instructions on getting the Au
Love your content, don’t stress if not all gold detecting, like the homestead - knocking out walls, building foot paths.. We enjoy.. Thanks Chrissy & Clint. ❤
Thanks for watching, we appreciate the support! 👍
Good to see you both.
happy to see ya back
The video was much enjoyed, and sitting here in northern Canada up to our necks in snow and freezing cold, I would trade you the heat in a New York minute.
There have been a lot of fires in WA around Sandstone, Quartz Ridge and Mt Gibson Sanctuary. I hope that you and Phil are OK and well away from these fires.
I was only thinking tday that you hadn't posted, glad to have you back
We're glad you're back. Nice to see you staying safe in the deadly heat. The pool-builder is a god.
I'm glad to see you two back. I just moved from Florida to Montana . Left heat, humidity and hurricanes for freezing temperatures and snow.
Sounds like you traded one type of extreme weather for another! 😅
Now that's braving it 46' degrees that's nuts but well done on the gold catch ya next time stay safe
There used to be an ad years ago about the Sunday telegraph. the jingle went "Sunday just isn't Sunday without the Sunday telegraph". For as long as I can remember, I've loved my Sunday mornings with you guys, gold or no gold, you guys are the gold. If you ever find yourselves in Bondi I'd love to have a beer.
So you guys are stil alive I see lol good to see you have not roasted in the hot Western Australian heat. I vaguely remember W.A Heat as a kid and all that red landscape it reminds me of what Mars would look like lol. Do you ever detect at night when it should be cooler?.
So pleased to see you back always look forward to your videos and yes the heat in WA has been insane
Endlich wieder Kontent❤ Dein / Euer Kanal macht immer Freude. Schön dass es mit dem Traum Australien geklappt hat. Macht weiter so. Bleibt gesund. Und LG aus NRW 😊
Sunday coffees with Crissy and Clint are back ☕☕
That heat is terrible.... Glad your back looking for gold, I missed seeing you guys 😂😂😂😂😂
Schön mal wieder was von Euch gesehen zu haben. Keep on going for Gold. Hier sind es gerade 8 Grad Celsius. Freue mich schon auf Euer nächstes Video.😊
I enjoyed the video today. One of the videos I hope to watch on Saturdays here.
I did receive my package from you and am pleased with it.
Thanks for watching! It’s great to hear you’re happy with your purchase!
Welcome back Krissy and Clint. Carol and I spent a day just South West of you and done no good, we weren't allowed to get onto a lot of the tenements back then though. It was a good area years ago.
Hey Guys. Great to see you back.
I lived in the Curry for a few years and know what the heat is like. Prospecting in that temp is not nice at all.
Hope you trip over a big patch soon.
Glad to see a new video love that part of the world.
Great stuff Krissy and Clint! I went detecting around the Castlemaine area here in Vic a few days ago. I gave up around 3pm as it hit 40 degrees and there was no breeze to cool me down. I did head home with three small nuggets to put in my new OGF bottle though, so a great day out! Looking forward to more of your videos!!
Great to hear you’re filling up your new lucky jar 🍀
I missed you guys!
Thank you.
Thanks for your video,was interesting to watch and share your hot experience.I personally find the coastal humidity heat where I am worse than the inland,does good I think,cleans the body etc,cheers.
Plus 45 C where you are and minus 25C in the Cariboo here in British Columbia. Your heat will come down eventually and where I am the snow leaves in March down low and late May in the mountains.
Good to see you back on TH-cam and the video, Thanks.
Thanks for watching, we’ll be back with more videos soon ⛏️
Great to see you Guy's out having crack, but mid forties takes the fun out of it!
Fantastic, even if there were only two bits of gold found, the scenery is always awesome, keep up the good work and have a good day. Leon
Missed ya ...😊
We moved from Maui to California a year ago. Now I can actually go gold prospecting not too far from home!
That’s awesome! Keep us updated 🍀
Cool guys, good catching up. Its hot alright. Got the place ticking along nicely even got a bit of grass on the lawn.hi from new zealand
Thanks!
FUEL $$$$$$$😒😒😒
Great effort considering the temp 🥵
Love your content 🙌
Best of all no donuts 🍩 👏
Good to see you , friends. i needed the break. That is a handsome new hat.
Looks tough out there prospecting. Stay safe. We dont mind watching you just potter, so dont kill yourselves for content. ❤
Dearest Krissy and Clint.
After seeing your Recent video.

Hey great to watch this. nice to see your still around, I'm watching from ireland..its 3 degrees her.. hey do you still have your campervan rig???
Yes we do, we’ll probably take it next trip 👍🏻
@OutbackGoldFever just so you no. That trip would be great to watch.wven if you didn't find gild just looking around its nice to watch..ww get to see some ware hot.. good luck
Hi so glad 2 watch u guys again made my saturday luv u guys
Prefer to watch these videos - not always beer and skittles
And I was complaining about 35degrees with air conditioning on in Melbourne!! You two are very tough to go out in that heat! Glad you found a few pieces.
Summer here can be brutal but we always manage to find some time to look for gold!
Keep the faith
That’s too hot! Stay safe guys.. the next patch is just around the corner! Cheers, James
Fingers crossed you’re right 🤞🏻
Lithium ion batteries take longer to charge in the heat because their amp-hour capacity increases - they hold a charge longer. The opposite is true in cold temps - their capacity decreases and seem to charge faster. Lead acid batteries don't like heat at all.
I saw the heatwave data from WA and knew that you will be staying home. We too have had heat waves. Ours were a bit lower, but we have high humidity. That really wipes you out. Homestead looks better with a lawn. The snakes must love the grass. Stops them getting be,lLy burn.
We live in a comparable temperature zone.. 45 C and warmer. It’s an only for a couple of months.. the rest of the year is lovely. And the solitude can’t be overstated.
Great solitude in summer, not many people leave their house unless they have to or don’t have aircon 😁
Hi guys I enjoy watching your videos gold or not but that is the way it goes until next time stay safe out there. Cheers
Cheers for joining in again 👍🏻
Hey was that your motorcycle I seen if so have you mastered it yet. You were 115 F we were-12 F if we could just split the difference everything would be perfect. Good to see you guys again.
Ohh your pool would be so refreshing
I think you two are a perfect match. Both of you are tough as nails, can handle anything and thrive. One fine day you will have 500,000 subs, and find a chunk of gold over a kilogram. Just saying. Love the channel!
We're aiming for that big one, thanks for the support!
Hi lovely couple ❤ hope you get loads of gold this year, take care and be safe ❤❤❤ from the 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
We hope so too ⛏️
Agh, that blissful outback summer sun..!
When anything under 40° is a cool day...
So true ☀️🥵
I was working painting lines on the road with Mainroads and it was 46 every day so I feel you...😅😅😅😅😅😅
Not much fun in this heat, should be a lot better soon I hope 🤞🏻
@OutbackGoldFever still got a bit to go with the wet stuff maybe. Fingers crossed coz that means a day off....🤞🤞🤣🤣
And 2025 adventures begin . . Looking forward to watching again this year . . .
Take care . Bye from NZ👍👋🇳🇿🍻
I don't blame you it's been warm
Happy hunting
Bout time guys lol
I can't even imagine that kind of heat,that cool dip sure was well deserved
Here in West Virginia we just got a break from deep freeze lol 40°f 😆
Thanks guys love your videos,desert diggers 😊
😂 see when you say it's mid-40s here in the US for 40s is cool because you look at temperatures different way when I go prospecting in Arizona it's about 108 112 degrees but I like to go where there's water in shade can I find gold and I am the only one out there❤ and what time does Sheriff landed in helicopter to see if I needed help and then they left❤❤ Hall & Oates not too bad if you have water in shade but thank you so much for the video it's good to see both of you swinging and I'll catch you on the next hot day
It sounds like you’re tough as nails out there but you’re right: shade and water make a big difference ⛏️
I can tell you USA is the only country using Fahrenheit. The rest Celsius.
Don't become discouraged. Take a break to do other things--like writing a book on your exciting life!😊
A day off Gold prospecting, Good on you Clint💥🌈⚒️
❤🎉
What and amaximg Team you are.

Fark that heat I was up there a week ago testing the new dry blower 49 all week no good for me I’ll wait for next month
It’s definitely hotter up here than further south! Too hot for machines and people up here at the moment
Bath made me cool down, hahaha
I don't know how you can do this in 40 degree heat?? I can't step outside in that weather here in Adelaide!!
Where I live it gets up to 40 odd degrees in high summer and you start to think the motor on the fan is heating the air up. All you can do is jump in the pool and cool off.. I'm guessing the people who make the real money out of gold prospecting are the people that sell you the equipment? I'm wondering, do you ever find metorites?
I’ve never found a meteorite and I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to keep it if found in WA 🤷🏼♀️
Be nice if local council followed you with a D12 dozer ripping the ground for you to detect easier
nice
❤❤
W Polsce detektorysci co szukaja monet i skarbow mowia ze nie ma miejsc nie przeszukanych tak ze warto wrucic w te miejsca gdzie kiedys juz szukaliscie zlota pozdrawiam
👍👍
Where are the Flies you must miss them
We try not to mention them, that’s usually when you predict them 😂
BUT it’s been very pleasant
🥰🥰
✌🏽
Don't pee in the water.
What is the water temp in the pool ? 😎
Could any of the hot rocks be meteorites? They worth anything?
They’re just very iron rich which is why they’re magnetic, a few mines around WA mining the iron, worth something in big amounts
Yep ... @14:02 ... didn't David Bowie write a song in the 1960's called "I dig everything" ?
Yes, that was in the 90’s 👍🏻
Try the JB helicopter experience fer 100 nuggets per session
Too hot to prospect .. take care , strip off and hop into your pool
It has been pretty hot. I put a wet towel on on me,
TH-cam screwing everything up by the time I get your video which I haven’t gotten there yet seven minutes.
Sad a consumer of TH-cam and ready to give up has nothing to do with you or any other content creator I don’t get the best reception but I cannot view the creators that I’ve always viewed because of all the bullshit so sorry I’m gonna Val never to turn TH-cam on again thank you TH-cam you idiot the world knows .
Sorry you creators. You’re bailing out an end
Honey mooners
I predict you find a 100 gram piece of gold this year. Cheers from Houston, Texas
We’ll let you know when it happens ⛏️
I thought it was hot and humid.
You guys need a chopper . Helicopter would be Tax deductible.
Y’all need to find a market for rocks, 🤣🤣🤣 you would be rich!
Dig a cellar at home. Set your batteries up down there much more consistent temps. Stay safe guys
