That was a great little prospect buddy
It’s so cool how patient and resilient you are finding those little bits of gold!
It's my therapy....self love. Xx
JB, all us prospecting are very jealous of your remote all terrain vehicle , you have the ultimate Transport Vehicle and not only that you get to do an Ariel survey of the area before you go down for the swing. Very much looking forward to future vids.
Stay safe
Great video Sir. (make your Helicopter a giant metal detector)
You sir have the best prospecting rig ever. No flay tyres, bogged in mud, closed roads etc. Might cost a couple bucks to get there but Dam worth every cent. Sign me up if you need a side kick mate.
This is superb champion.😎🇦🇺
Appreciate it!!
Helicoptering in WA for the nuggets is pretty epic. You're living the dream sir! Thanks for the videos, I'd like to see more.
Great video mate, now that's the way to prospect as if it rains you can still get home, keep it up awesome content 👍👍
I can see it on your movements when you throw the small handful into the scoop and hear the clunk and then wave over the detector and hear crickets how disappointed you are. Your body language shows it all 🤣. I hear that clunk too and am like oh boy that’s a good one and then crickets. Keep ‘‘em coming
😆😆 heart breaking hey. Thanks for watching.
You did well with the 6000 Justin. Awesome way to travel too! Hopefully catch you in Meeka sometime. We're just waiting for the temperature to cool down so we can go back prospecting:)
Thanks Mark, Super warm last coupla days on the 6000......hard work. Catch you soon. 🍻
The R44 Is a neat way to go detecting❤the landing was smooth as 😎
Awesome machine for the job mate.
Cool, one day I hope to fly into some gold patch
Nice mate!
Great way to prospect. Would have loved to get a chance doing that. Keep chasing your dreams. Greetings from a German prospector ( Australia 2019 - 2022 prospecting pilbara, Victoria and Queens land).
Goo mate
lots of fun to watch thanks!
Awesome stuff 👍
Living the dream JB. keep the videos coming.
Omg that probably blew in there on a small dust devil lol
Awesome Dig.

Thanks Glen, she's a pretty good life.
bloody awesome mate
Keep making content! You are on to something good. Heli-prospecting is amazing
Awesome video
0...and a Very Merry Christmas to you and your Family!
Way to go, that's the way to get out where no one can reach 👍
Good video, very epic! I subscribe from northern Cali
It took me 3 days to watch this video but I enjoyed every minute of it! Especially the part where you just lying on the warm ground with your cook stove. And the whirly bird in the background! That thing can outrun any storm
Nice work solid lil set up for the night got all the goodies in the chopper..keep it up and stay safe buj👌🏼
Thanks Leeson!! Take care mate. 👌
Remember a 14” DD is technically the same as a 7” Mono. So out of the 2 stock coils, the 11” Mono will punch deeper. The DD is for salt ground or bad EMI.
Also, when the 6000 carry’s on, she loves noise cancel button. Brings her back into line.
Awesome vid mate 👍
Thanks for watching 👍 Glad you enjoyed it.
Looked like fun. Hello from miami florida.
First time viewing thanks for video just have to find more to pay for Hilo travel 😂⚒🇺🇸
Hi JB ... This is every prospector's dream! Can't wait for your next adventure. Cheers M8 ...
Glad you took the time to watch!! Thanks.
I love your content as well great knowledge sharing 👍👍
Fun hunt vid, new subscriber!
Cheers, much appreciated 👍
Great tunes. Dou you know the "nitty gritty dirt band"? Epic country music. Can't explain to the kids.
😂😂 I do indeed! Great band.
Better luck next time! 👍⭐️
Hi from Greece. I love metal detecting. But here is not allowed. I have 2 metal detectors bought from USA. I have been to N.Y 2 times. I have family there. I served in SF in Greece for 18 months. I am metal detecting beaches here but.. late at night so no one see me. I just love gold detecting. I wish one day I can visit Australia and find gold. Subscribed. Only my best wishes
Thanks for subscribing mate. I can't believe you're not allowed to detect in Greece!!
G'day mate looks like you are getting a bit of good colour 👍
Howdy Steve, hopefully a bit more to come.
Deadly way to prospect JB, I hope you found the nuggy you dropped off the edge of the scale onto the chopper haha
Well spotted mate!! I did see that little sucker. 😆
Hey JB you havnt posted for awhile i engoy you videos and life style i look forward to watching them very down to earth
Thanks very much Ross. We'll be adding a few more episodes soon mate, when I'm not so busy with work. 😅
@@JBHELI look forward to it mate cool the heli gold @
A general safety tip for prospectors. You should never put gold nuggets in your mouth because gold is often found in association with minerals filled with arsenic & other poisonous chemicals like lead oxides, even uranium & thorium at times. Also keep in mind that some mines used cyanide for processing ore. This wouldn't be the case on Mt Augustus im sure but it is a risk in many places. A good way to clean nuggets & save water is a small drink bottle with a cm of water in it & shake the nugget in the reused water.
Good point mate. 👌
Flash!
Like driving a skidder down the road 😂
Very nice did not get 10 but good enough congrats
Hey, the pilot seat is on the wrong side of the chopper! Lol
😅😅
Poor bugga, no corrugation up there. great vid JB. Do you see many wild dogs from up there?
Yeah mate, plenty of dogs.....we soon sort them out though.
27:13 Valiant effort to escape, Eh!
😆
I think this is the first time ive seen night prospecting,
and after working at cue, mount Gibson ,Leonora and kal and super remote giddge gold mine for many years, it seems,...... its just obvious.
I worked as a diesel fitter but always demanded permit night shift, and got it.
not many knew how to repair cat scrapers, or wanted to,.... to be precise.
still I should of tried a little prospecting back then.
I would just buy pretty nuggets at the bar of the foundry hotel in kal.
they tell me that's been gone for years now,...... well that is a real goldfields tragedy.
Night time is a must if you want those super small signals. Good old days huh 👌
saw 57 degrees at the bottom of harbor lights open cut, at Leonora. only reason we knew was the air ends on the drills kept shutting down.
worst thing about Leonora was its 200 kays to the foundry hotel.
the pleasure of finding gold but the few grams you are finding is it worth the 1000s of $ TO GET THERE.
Mostly stopping in at prospects on my way to or from paid jobs.....it's a win, win. 👌 Unfortunately this year I began filming after my larger finds.
@@JBHELI well done, hope to a day I'll be in your situation, anyway you have a wonderful Christmas and all; the best for next year
People may scoff at night detecting yet the detector does not know the difference between night and day. I always wanted to detect at night. Unfortunately where I live someone would call the police.
Ot makes a world of difference as the ground is cooler. 👌
Oh well, you'll cover some of your fuel costs. But shit m8, ya doin it a bit hard. No friggin cold beer ?!!! Jeeeez. 👍✌🇭🇲
😆😆 It's a travesty I know.
So you operate out of Carnarvon. I've done a bit out at Cobra Station
There's still a bit going on around Cobra too. 👍
Are all those divot holes your flying over old mines?
Negative.....just claypans.
LOL, that's not a mountain, in Canada we call that a hill!
It's actually a Rock.....largest monolith in the WORLD. Not as much snow as in Canada though. 😆
Throw some midnight oil in your music,,
😆 I'll look into it.
Nice wheels m8 be getting into some greats spots with that rig cracking vid cheers fb
I'm jelleus
you ever been prospecting in the NT?
Negative...but I'd love to!!
