This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic....
I get disappointed when you guys spent all day getting gold and all you got is just enough to cover your gas that’s just not worth it
Lol, you are focusing on the wrong thing I'd suggest.
It is if you love your hobby lol
You should look up speeches by Manly P Hall dude, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
“It was apparent that materialism was in complete control of the economic structure, the final objective of which was for the individual to become part of a system providing an economic security at the expense of the human soul, mind, and body.”
― Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages
also here th-cam.com/video/62OmGhK2DW0/w-d-xo.html he explains why they went and took a m³ is so he could work out his rate, on that paydirt. It's prospecting man, not making money.
@@VoGusProspecting It's not the destination 👏👏👍it's the journey. I'd love a day out with ya l'm in Mulgowie lockyer Valley. It's a bucket list thing.😉
Awesome adventure Mate. Thank you for taking me along
This is a good one Chris. Actually mining and if I squint real hard I can imagine I'm watching an episode of God Rush with a big ol' wash plant running. ..(------- Keep Diggin'
Chris's Biggest nugget from Reedy Creek found by metal detector and a nice beautiful sapphire and the Jasper
haha well i would have to say around a ton and a half after a 12 hour day haha technically had to do it twice
👍🏻
Great edit mate nice fun in the sun with some beautiful gold congrats on the nuggie
This is prospecting Porno - I started panning when I was 15 assisted by my grandad who was worried that I would get gold fever. His grandfather was William Bell who made his fortune many times over got cheated out of his mines by his mates on the stock exchange - had another family in WA when he went over there. He maintained that his mother was the first legitimate child - but family history searches showed he married her mother shortly after the birth. Grandad never revealed to us that William Bell was in the eureka stockade and was a friend of Peter Lalor.
I am now 72 years old and arthritic and as far as I know hibanking is illegal in nsw. Your videos are great and I love them - makes me realise what could have been possible when I was younger.
Great looking clean out… took some of my first test pans a few days ago, thank you so much for the inspiration, it has really been helpful with combating anxiety symptoms, I forgot how much I love hiking and just being in nature! Keep it up!
How much dirt moved? When I was at Uni I had a Summer job with a small Building Supply company, one of my jobs was to load loose sand onto a trailer with a shovel, each trailer took 1 tonne. I loaded 6 trailers in one day. It was a long time ago and I really doubt I could do it now.
Nice job That was a nice pretty sapphire and that Jasper was pretty good too you can make jewelry out of that where to go nice going keep it up
Seeing the doggies running around and enjoying nature makes me sooo... happy.
Well all I can say it's nice to see sun in a video. It's been very wet here in souther bc and more rain to come. But I guess the positive from all the floods landslides and river diversions. Good gold never before touched is now deposited in creeks streams rivers and in Merritt BC on the main roads in town. Sad for all the losses but love to see how mother nature can move the land and how powerful water truly is.
I wonder how Dan Hurd's "Dream Claim" or Pickerton made out. Will be interesting. No matter what you are right about Mother Nature. Just a little flex from her made the land and the people move. She was like "I swore I put a lake there."
We forget who really runs the show. It ain't us!
More epic adventures!
I start my prospecting journey this winter in so-cal. You’ve inspired me.
Chris, this is the most dirt I've ever moved in a day and I did it for about 30 days in a 3-4 month period because I was still seeing good gold. I classified Twenty 5 gallon buckets and carried them 100 yards to feed them thru a stream sluice and carried them by hand because a wheel barrow was not allowed. Forty 5 gallon buckets is approximately half a yard of pay dirt, but the overburden I thru away from my classifier was easily 3 times that amount. It was hard work but still a lot of fun. I was about 42 years old then.
I was wrong when I said 40 five gallon buckets full equal a yard of material. 33.48 five gallon buckets equal a yard.
I have moved 10 yards of dirt in one day by myself, by hand, but it was 75 degrees F. It also took me 14 hours and I was dead for days. Not a chance I'd be out in heat like you were!
I spent years digging ditches so I stopped paying attention to how much dirt I move on a day. I love watching your vids for no other reason than to watch someone else suffer.
When I was younger I built a 55 ft step up moto cross jump in my back yard. Dug it all with one friend and 1 shovel. We just took turns chunking out red clay and packing it in. Never did clear it the whole way. I cased it and split my chin open on the handlebars. 😂 I
21, 500 lbs. muck bucket ,7hrs, on a mine drift collapse. Still hold the record. 85' deep. Had a good hoist operator.
13 bucket classified to quarter inch was the most I ever moved. I would like to use a wheel barrow but I would have to build a road...the boulders are too big
That was a very satisfying video, but I feel like I need a shower after watching you guys work so hard. Great shots and framing. You guys don’t show it but I’m hoping everyone is staying hydrated.
E P I C ! Video Chris and Company 😎 I have to say it Chris, these last few months you have had a HI-PRO glow about you, you have never looked happier and healthier! Cheers Mate!
I roughly hauled, load and unloaded, 7 full truck beds full of gravel and dirt coming to 10,500 pounds or 4762.716 kg.
I just wish that it all contained gold, but I didn't pan it, sadly. But the driveway never looked better!
My efforts were work, not a hobby, and we don't have many rivers here that contain much gold.
i cant wait till every thing thaws out in the spring,, as at this time it is all frozen,,, nice to see some sun shine and gold!!
Thanks for making your videos fun by bringing your dogs
Thank you for the adventures you take us with every time. The only gold you can find in the Netherlands are at a juwelery store. So I hope you keep on going and wish you a lot of good gold.
Hope all is well bud it sounds pretty crazy doen in Australia right now
stop listening to the news thats the trick
My friend Steve (rip) and my self loaded up the bed of his Toyota 4x4 to the top twice then took it down to the river Clear Creek here in Colorado and ran it through our highbanker and got almost 3 grams of gold in about 7 hours .. tell you what that was work .. sore muscles for a couple of days ... Well keep up the great videos and my dog loves it when I give her ears a scratch ..
Don E. in Colorado ..(USA)
The most dirt I have moved in a day is 110 full 5 gallon buckets. I work on a club claim, and every time I find a hot spot, someone comes in a cleans it out before I can make it back. Wasn't letting that happen this time. Found almost 10 grams that day.
Appreciate the videos brother. i started watching about 2 weeks ago. you got me interested in wanting to learn. i have a creek on my land that im gonna try out.(highly doubt ill get anything ) more for fun/hobby then anything. keep the videos coming!
You never know, I hope you find something
Right on Chris, that’s a damn good day. Me and Matt “my prospecting buddy” got 1.055 grams on Sunday with my little high banker and panning.
We sure did!
Yep please 21ers merch. Like yesterday
A Ton of Gold on Reety and I believe it is spring fed. I have about 4 months all together on that run and there’s heeps of Gold there. Also Diamonds, ruby, sapphire. Miss it already.
A square point shovel would speed things up a bit here. You could scrape and scoop with one tool and not have to bend over and work that pick as much. Either way though way to get that gold
Literally said that in the first 2 minutes lol
Very interesting, if that is the Reedy Creek near Tyaak you may well also find Uranium!
Gadzee you spilt some of the richest pay dirt from the bottom of the barrow. Tisk tisk. Next time you only get a 500ml iced coffee rather than a 750
Oh but treeeeevvvv
I wondered if you were gonna let that slip by without comment!!
Don't stress I beleive they picked it up
Hanging to go to this creek for the first time in xmas break, with just river sluice......thanks for inspiration...hoping i get some color. Any hints where to go or what i should do???
keep the vids coming man!!
2:38 absolute unit mode engaged
We all need a reedy creek in our lives 👍🏻⚒🏴
Habanero Land. LMAO Sweet spot ya got! {}
Even the flies are spicey
Chris....I absolutely love your channel and finds! I hope you have the most blessed holidays! This old gal is a fan! Thanks so much for what you do! I am a detectorist and would love to find raw gold near a creek. Unfortunately, there aren't many in my area. I'm jealous! But thanks again for your awesome videos!
Cool episode, keep'em comin'! I had to laff tho, 30C ? When I looked it up, it is only about 86F....here in Texas it can be that warm in the middle of our winter. The next day it can be below freezing. Our summers usually are around what you call 45C! 30C days are blessed but few. Go git that gold! Luv the show, her hubby here.
Sure, but its spring here. In summer the average is 40c with peaks around 48.
And to top it off there is no ozone above us, so the UV index is consistently high. Meaning you'll burn in under 2 minutes.
Yes it's not "hot" but I promis you most people don't understand Aussie heat.
@@VoGusProspecting 48?!! DAAAUUUMMM!! That is very hot, even for a Texan. I can understand and sympathize with you on that. I was a mail carrier for over 22 years and had to be 'out' in the weather all the time. Even when it is 47-48c (118f). I had to deal (retired now) with the high humidity heat here in a suburb of the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and would'a traded places with you in a heart-beat! Go git'um! Git that gold!
.
Chris: Its seriously hot today @ 34 Deg heat!!
Nth America: Googles WTF is 34 Deg in Fahrenheit ?
Metric, America's playing catch up.
The rest of the world doesn't care that you find it difficult. Just stop being stubborn and do like the rest of us.
When I was 18 at my first job I once dug out the rear 3rd of a sand pad slab due to not being able to get an excavator to that location due to how long and thin the block was and how it stepped up. Would have to be more than a ton of dirt. Was sore for 3 days
Hats off to Mick, showing people how to wear Chinese/India Work boots in the Aussie bush. 100% balls of steel.
Gotta mention Gadzee and his black shirt!
@@ferdburphel2076 👍 yes your right, Hats off to Gadzee also for his black shirt and great camera angles.
Nice little nugget boys
AWSOME Safire,s
And good lot of gold too
I got 1.32 other week in the mountains in one crevice
Only twenty feet from my beer hahahaha
With my girl her first time panning
She was stoked ay
Hope you can get up here Port Macquarie one day
I will take you out to my spot
You will love it dogs are welcomed up there
Cheers 🍻

BTW it's "wheelbarrow." :-)
BTW IDGAF
I purchased a home with a basement in the Pacific Northwest in 1980. I finished the basement with bedrooms. The PNW had an extreme rain season that brought the water table to the bottom of my cement floor. I decided that I need a curtain drain around my home. In May I started digging with pick and shovel around my home down to the footing of the wall, six to eight feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters), cleaned and sealed the wall, laid perforated pipe, and gravel then refilled the hole. I ran all the dirt through a screen to remove the gravel and rock for the next side of the foundation. This totaled 160 feet (43 meters). I ran the drainpipe downhill until it drained to the surfaces, about 70 feet (21 meters) I worked every evening and every weekend from May to September moving dirt. AND I found no GOLD!! I did lower the water table even in the worst rain by several feet. The curtain drain is working very well even thirty-five years later. During very heavy rains the water exits the 4-inch drainpipe pipe with a 4-inch flow and the basement stays dry!
Great video enjoyed a little bit more shade would have helped ,I did 32 buckets of non classified wash through a rocker in my 4 gram challenge video and that was over 35c and no shade hot hot hot cheers Glenno.😎👍
Awesome work boys 💪
4 foot deep, by about 2 shovels wide by almost 12 feet long. Yay wire trench....... No gold chance.
looks like U'se had a great day 😍 wish there were places like that around here 🏴 jus for the exitement an mental health relaxation 😃 always look forward to Ur vids buddy 🖖😁
Halfway to 500 comments. Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving Chris!
Ive been going to Reddy creek for 30 something years, every pan has colour just not enough to make money but just enough to keep you interested.
Love the vids, keep them coming.
The biggest amount of soil I've moved in a day by hand is 9 out of 16ton of soil ( a dump truck ) while landscaping a $300,000 house
Good Cutting and Quality(as always), but for my taste, the "music" is way too loud (do we even need music? ;) ) and spoils the otherwise informative and meditative nature of your video. BTW: Are we ready for Solar-Powered Pumps yet? 100W/8.3A would equal to 2000gph and isn't that bulky in a folded panel version.
Most dirt I've moved is around 200 cubic yards at 100° F. I'm a farmer so probably not nearly as heavy and hard to access as that stuff
Man you’re talking about 33c (91°f) there and I’m sitting here at -4c (26°f) wishing I could move some dirt!
60 yards worth was my record with dump truck - wheel barrow - shovel.... fill the dump with a Loader, dump off the dump, fill the wheel barrow, dump the wheel barrow at the destination, all in 7 1/2 hrs 1/2 hr drive back to the shop
Hey my brother
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from my home to yours stay safe
I live in shasta county ca.
We dont really have videos that are specific where gold is. ( because its everywhere) But ! Too many claims all around me.
So.. Just for fun..I decided to get dirt at 3 locations in town (Redding) right off the road. Panned it ... And got 50 to 80 bucks worth. Took 30 minutes to get the dirt. Lol It was a lot of fun to prove that shasta county is just... Gold gold gold.
That sapphire is beautiful! And the gold is wonderfully shinny.
Super cool guys! Keep the vids coming. Cheers from Montana!!
I'm a landscaper for a living, and I've shoveled by hand/wheelbarrowed full like 8 yard dump truck loads into back yards plenty of times lol. Most jobs we take a couple ton of rocks away and Ive personal handled most of them in some way or another and that's almost daily in the summer season... All i get for cool rocks is broken up quartz, granite or limestone with some seashells
I dug 175ft 21in deep with a 60lb bosh jack hammer and a spade shovel
My Dad would have loved your videos. Every time I watch one, I look at framed sketch of my dad (made by POW in WWII) and tell him to check it out 🥰
NSW hot days see my gazebo up over the dig spot, and the beach umbrella over the sluice!
And a underpants clad dude in the creek while the sluice works…..
50 x 5 gallon bucket through a Bazooka Miners sluice. 6.3 grams from a public campground in California. I’m a very moldy hat! Cheers Mate!
Good work bro, my partner is obsessed with sapphires and is qualified to assess them but never got the learn how to cut them due to covid lockdown and it would make her Xmas to get her a real prospected sapphire and by my favourite prospector. Any way keep the videos up. Good to see you growing. You deserve it. Positive vibes only :)
You made my Thanksgiving! High-banking on Reedy Creek!!!
Check out snowys outdoor centre. Camping shealters, beach, fiesta shelter. Get the four poles. Then four big rocks and you got a shelter over your highbanker.
Is this reedy creek near Newcastle?? I’ve been there done bout 9buckets there for 2.1grams was an awesome day
We weren't prospecting but a buddy and I moved 37 tons of gravel in two days with shovels and a wheel barrow decorating someone's yard. We were way underpaid and it was the last real physical labor job my back let me do. That job effectively ended my landscaping business.
Work fascinates me, I could sit and watch it all day...... 🤣🤣🤣
Have moved 100 plus in 98-degree f with 90% plus humidity but was in my 30's at the time. Was digging out a basement and moving it to another lot.
Big question. If I pump water from a river overland, then dredge the slurry of where it ends up, is that dredging a river? Or is it frowned upon as badly as waterblasting a cliff?
As we just had a snow storm here in the Northeast United States (34 degree Fahrenheit - about 1 C), I told my husband you were prospecting in 34 degree heat and he put it into Fahrenheit instead of Centigrade!
Hey Chris the most amount of dirt I've moved by hand in one day by myself was one-and-a-half dump trucks full!!!!!😱😬
I worked at a potting soil plant each guy moved 1000 pounds of dirt every 4mins
Well the lookk on Fern's face when you were playing F1 Racer was Like" Ok He's nuts too"
Tryin for the giveaway only at 208 comments right now...
When you have an especially heavy wheel barrel, and you need momentum or need to start pushing, place the big muscle (thigh) against the wheel barrel. Is that understandable?
You guys crack me up. It's great to see you having fun moving dirt and washing rock's. Nice show of Gold. Cheers
I hand loaded around 5 cube meters in about 4 hours from a pile onto a 2tonne tipper. I had to have it moved and my mini loader was in the workshop i just kept loading using a Plumbers spit shovel. It was mostly clay
Good find there lads. What’s the laws for searching for gold in Queensland? Do I need licenses, go I try to state a claim? Sounds and love oks like a great hobby to get into.
Its good to see hard work being done!
The dog look like there the smartest ones in this show. Shade is the go. 🤣😂😁😀😎 good work man.
Good stuff Chris. Fern’s coming along. The most I’ve ever done was 6.5 cubic yards in a day, which is about 5 cubic meters. I’m in BC and the weather was cool and wet (10 C). At 34 C like you’re in, I don’t think I’d be up for even half of that.
Excellent stuff. I really would love that sapphire
about 4 yards and around 8 hours and got just over 14 grams! was a nice little pocket.
You guys need one of those Ergo shovels with the shorter handle and square tip. I bet it wouldn’t spill as much 👍
ran 22 5 gallon buckets of dirt through a highbanker in 1 day and found a few specks
22,000lbs shoveled out a broke down belt trailer took 4 hours by myself lol.
I've shoveled a half a foundation in a day with a coworker, found no gold
2 dudes, 6 Cubes of dirt when i use to concrete, machinery didnt show up so we did it with shovels and mattocks instead. Never had blisters that bad in my life.
Blue is my favorite color, that sapphire is a great find 👍🏻
If you send me that sapphire, I'll send you some garnets from Idaho
You should show a reference of temperature , Celsius/ Fahrenheit .
Bin with you on your TH-cam know for 6 years and man time flys and all ways love your video’s
42 5gallon buckets in one day with 2 guys and a sluice box!!!
