i thought nobody does such prospecting anymore until I stubled across this video. You are living a dream. I only read such things in e-novels now & here you are actually living it. For me you are a hero.
Me and my husband prospected for 2 years, living in a tent and moving around a lot in Northern California and Southern Oregon, in the US. You are in some beautiful country! It has been 30 years, and brought back some great memories. We had a 3" dredge, and a sluice box. It was a hard job, but worth the effort. Best of luck!
Levi, When I lived in Norway as a little girl, I was told if you are going to sit down in the forest always look for where the fens grow. Because the snakes don't like the smell of it for some reason. It ready works. I told a friend of mine who lives in Florida and had problems with snakes around his house that keep surprising him. He did plant some ferns and did not have any more problems.
Hope your all doing well just to let you know this is not the 4day trip mentioned in my previous pack video. Its coming but this one certainly shouldn’t disappoint… I hope 🤞🏼
@@thebushbunker I have heard pickaxes at work in the background nobody actually around I thought an oldtimer was haunting me I did a video that day a couple of years ago
Way to go Levi that reminds me of my half oz, 3/4 oz and 1 oz days that I found on the Bear river in California years ago the gold was small flaky like yours. I ended up finding a half pound in 10 days of sniping. Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos. 😎
I absolutely look so forward to each post from you. The whole experience is an absolutely wonderful experience. I’m on the other side of the world in the states. I would love to go with you one day. I’d give you everything I found, just to have that memory and life experience. The place you call home I consider one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us! Take care and God bless and keep you safe out and about. I’m sure your brother was looking down on you and smiling so big with all the gold you were finding.
Levi, You are living the dream, at least when it comes to finding gold. So few are able to experience what you have with your location, knowledge, and hard work. Good for you!
Finally someone who is like minded👍 If you get unemployed in a big western city and ask you what your dreamjob is. I don't they understand when telling. I should show them this upload.
In the US we have a show called Gold Rush (I don't have any idea if you guys have that show or maybe have a show like this) it is a "reality" show but they will have weeks where with all their equipment and technology and didn't find this much gold. I am talking 24 hours a day moving 200-500 yards an hour too!
@@jonlamontagne Parker Schnabel, Tony Beets, The Hofmann family, Dakota Boys and Dave Turpin to the rescue. Yes. Watched it 2017 and later frequently. Thanks for the reminder
It’s a pleasure to be bought along with you on your adventures. The narration of your story telling along with the visuals is second to none and I look forward to every new upload of yours!
I snipe gold every year in Northern California.. I usually do about a gram or less. Watching your vid was like watching one of my dreams come true !! Awesome outing ! good for you !!
bloody hell that was a good trip! your cinematography and editing are top notch too... beautifully done. I am unable to get out and prospect anymore so watching your adventures is almost as good as being there. thank you for the time and effort you invest to bring people along with you.
This location & what you are doing reminds me of my childhood going gold prospecting with my dad on the west coast of the south Island in NZ.He used the same kind of suction bottles & the same technique of getting down to the bedrock where the gold is trapped in cracks & crevaces...
Hey Levi you working so good,very nice flakes,and there was most interesting thing for me in this video gold paning by u,I mostly seen u finding a gold with ur snuffer bottel in the rivers,With the all of that it's so interesting bro keep it up God bless u 🤗😊
Awesome stuff mate, reminds me of being a kid at the local golf course hunting for balls in the bush and the creeks to sell back to the Pro Shop. Always took em home, checked em out, washed em and then sold em back to the Pro Shop. Urban prospecting in Sydney in the 70s. The calm and serenity of exploring creeks and climbing through bush and finding a natural clearing is what I'm picking up from your videos. Cheers to Tranquillity.
mate Levi is in the wilds of Tasmania, deep in some never before seen forest in what we can call the last wild frontier left on this Earth. You going through bins or picking up bottles or whatever in paramatta in the 70s is some ways down
Coke bottle was worth 20 cents in the 70s , and it was a Golf Course and Creeks. Bins must be a subconscious thought externalised, something to think about. Here's to Tassie, and Rivers of Gold I'll see you at Xmas time.
Wow...just wow! Well done bro! Salivating in California watching this and the beautiful nature of Tasmania. Thank you for bringing along a camera and drone to share these amazing places with us! Love&Light
Tasmania has been a gem this summer we’ve had such unusually dry weather but I’m sure it’ll switch soon we do need some rain but I dare not call on it after seeing what the mainland is going through
Another great result from Tassie. As you say it soon adds up. When you left the first area when you were getting good gold I thought you were nuts but you had better luck soon after. Well done Mate. Cheers, Pete North Queensland.
That was an amazing trip! That’s my kind of adventure for sure,camping out in a tent just keeping it simple and finding good gold! Great scenery! And yes that fire feels amazing after being in the river all day prospecting. After 6-8 hours dredging the cold gets in your bones and it’s hard to recover and get your dexterity back in your hands. Good stuff!
Another great video! Thanks and please keep em coming. Your vegetation in the woods, when it's just in the background and not closeups, looks so much like our forests here. I live on the Olympic Peninsula near the rain forest. We have a completely different geology here so about all we can hope for is small flood gold. A lot of the peninsula is limited in what we can do.
Great result, great video Levi, after experiancing some of Tassies summer weather just watching your video has my teeth dam near chattering, oh to be young, keen and healthy, you certainly earn that gold, Cheers.
I’ve though to myself on may occasions, “the heck with it, I’m moving to Australia!”. Or Tassie… lol. These videos make it very hard for me to keep those thoughts at bay. I love watching these videos. I have no idea how you managed to force yourself to leave this area on this trip. The fever would have taken over for me and I would have called in sick to work (and life) and would have stayed until there was no gold left. I look forward to the rest of the videos from this location. Cheers from Ontario, Canada 🍻
Hello Levi, loved it, it's my style of camping, only envy being in such beautiful nature. Gold is where you find it is proven again, that's where Lady Luck comes in as well ,nice bedrock,regards George
Amazing adventure. First time watching and I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of it, including watching you get your site up, making your dinner and trekking through the flora. Take care from Wisconsin. 🥰 PS, genius prospecting equipment; easy to use and cheap as dirt! 👏👏👏
Awesome find... I know where there's a river in New Zealand rich gold deposits... I like your style of prospecting.. I'll get back to it one day.. Good luck congratulations.. 💥💥💥💥
Nice work Levi! Always feels good to get away from all the BS in the world and connect with nature. Good to be alone at times. Finding 23 grams of gold is just a terrific bonus. The wife and kids must've been quite impressed! Life is good :)
Hopefully you read this before losing access to that site, That decomposing bedrock you showed that was covered in flakes.. well thats the source! You should really see if those veins of bedrock come out onto the creek beds where you can mine it but you have some special. Your right on a fault!!
Glad to see your comment, I was flabbergasted when I saw the material those wafers were sitting in, I am no Geologist just a life long rock hound, but man my SPIDER SENSE went off the scales when i saw that material.
that was awesome..i have been a metal detectorist for easy 40+ years,and very good at it..mainly park treasure,sadly theres not much going on now as covid stopped tourists and gold coins are getting less and less,they are a good justification but its treasure i want..i love watching you in the river,i have an underwater detector but in the sea its too difficult and to get deep enough you really need tanks and a buddy..what you are doing is just inspiring..i may try this if age doesnt catch up with me,im almost 70 now..cheers and thanks for the awesome show..i will be following you..

@@devinb5937 you have to be kidding. Let alone the stupidity of tipping gold you already have into the river only to ‘ find’ it again, you would unlikely find half of it. I have worked those rivers, and when you find a good spot, it is amazing.

Thank you for sharing your adventures with me. Total envy.
First time I've seen one of uour videos. Love your understated persona. No bs Really refreshing
TH-cam algorithm led me here for some reason - what a great outdoor adventure and a few earnings to boot! Stunning surrounds in Tasmania, lucky beggar

riches of nature everywhere. In the river, in the air, in the forest... Congratulations from Brazil.
Looks like a small bowl of rice crispies cereal. Lol
Nice find of that shinny Au!
Love this new style of video showing us all the behind the scenes parts around camp. Congrats on the gold! Solid paystreak!
Levi gees mate ! Don’t ever stop 🛑! I know I’m not the only person that loves your adventures !
One of them spots you never want to leave
A great day of prospecting
Wow! I bet you were excited to see so much...like a river of gold.
Hope your all doing well just to let you know this is not the 4day trip mentioned in my previous pack video. Its coming but this one certainly shouldn’t disappoint… I hope 🤞🏼

Mmaaate, king's dinner at 7:30 too!
Bloody good work!
Good stuff. Nice to see how you respected the surrounding forest with your camping knowledge. Stay safe and good hunting.

Score. I do love watching you vids and your prospecting adventures, but the Tassie scenery, that is gold itself. Take care brother.
I so wanna do what u do, it's so awesome to not only be experiencing nature but also finding gold. Very cool, thx for sharing.
All that lovely gold! Thank you Levi for bringing us great content! Great distraction from all the evil things happening in this world.
but gold is one of the main connections to evil, lol
@@PPFaceification No, I dont think so.
First time watching. Happy you are having fun and showing us Tasmania.

I love this approach to mining a river bottom. It’s probably the least invasive and smartest I’ve seen.

Awesome vid ... sure got stamina & see beautiful sights
The fact that the gold looks so similar makes me think that nearby is the source. Well done Levi!
There was a lot of quartz in the bedrock. I wonder if the bedrock itself was the source.
The black Rock was wafer like the gold then where the gold was lumpier there was quartz.
love those bed rock formations, nice job.
I know that fire felt amazing after being in the freezing water all day. All those small pieces sure did add up👏
That fire was heaven Nora ✌🏼
Hi Nora.🤠🌵
Tassie Boys Prospecting out of interest what are the water temps Levi? You wouldn’t get this Queenslander in there aye!!
@@jimmyjones2426 this time of year about 10oC closer 1-4 dead of winter

Suction dread dredge would work nicely here. Great gold find!
Wow that’s crazy! Well done! I’d be staying their for a week lol 😂
I like the homemade "hoover" a plastic bottle and nozzle, very industrious, thanks for a great video
This was awesome! Great job. I kept seeing the leaves and goldish rocks and was like why are you missing all those pieces!
