Well, I found some in a river in the Trentino and very tiny flakes in the Etsch, but I prefer to go to the Elvo (Piedmont). The Elvo is rather gold rich ;-)
another bit of proper video, great as always , wishing you and Grizzly a very merry Christmas. I think Santa heard me about a gold claw, and I've been mostly a good boy this year...lol....looking forward to 2019
Good year in the books for you. Also i like the opening of this video. I hope to get a little more prospecting done on my end than i did this year in 2018.
I like these on the fly videos, awesome you try and help make others welcome and thought about, you are one of the kind humans, while watching this video I realized I love seeing the wilderness and being from the great Northwest I appreciate you, anyway maybe on your next prize giveaways you might try hiding something in the back ground and the people that see it and notice it can be in the drawing, anyway Happy Holidays may peace and love be with you
Merry Christmas Chris i just got to south Australia ill be over your way just after new year if you want tqo catch up. I loved the video awesome little sailors tune happy new year mate.
Great video. Awesome in fact. I wondered where all the crevice gravel went in that channel. Now I know. Have a happy and safe Christmas and a fantastic new year to you and Grizzles and all the others you mentioned that I have been really lucky to meet out on the creeks. 2019 is going to be a golden year, I can feel it in my bones.
Hi Chris another awesome video mate nice work . I also thank you very much for shedding a bit of light on mental health problems bro just a few words from you makes me feel a little more confident better myself and gives a bit of hope , as I'm one of those people that are out of sought's this time of year, so thanks again mate and have a good Chrissy and prosperous new year. 😊😊😊
Well put Chris the Holidays can be rough on a guy. That being said your video is inspiring me to head south to Arizona for some winter prospecting in the desert. Seasons Peace bro!
Thanks Chris for all you have brought to us and taught me over 2018, plus all the laughs as well. I'd like to wish you and Grizzly a safe holiday that hopefully brings you joy in whatever you do and with whomever you choose to spend time with. I know I'm not alone in saying that both you and Grizzly would be welcome to take a seat at my dinner table anytime and to eat, drink & chat as much as you could. Mate, till next time, keep safe and keep smiling. Cheers.
Thank you, that means a lot. Grizzly table manners are not the best, he likes to blow kisses with his bum and turns into a bubble machine when there's food.
Merry christmas and Great new year,peace and health for you and your family,including,of course,your four legged little brother.Thanks for all that work along the year,really enjoyed each vid,seems im there,ja ja.Take a rest,leave something for the others ja ja.
Great video Chris you are always so full of information. I hope that you and Grizzley have the Merriest Christmas and I look forward to your videos in the new Year!
Merry Xmas Chris and thanks for sharing your spots with Steve and myself this past year. I hope to be able to return the favour in the new year. I was out at that place with steve just today and to see the work that one flood can do is just unreal. There must be other creeks in N,east Vic that have had the same scouring from that flood event. Hope to see you around in the new year, Jethro.
Merry Christmas to u and happy holidays... I am one the opposite but you just made me feel better that people realize that. I would love to come prospect apprentice with you this new year!
I know its an old video, but nice way to future proof your holiday wishes!! Loved it and your promotion of mental heath, let alone your way of thinking. More of a I know this cause trial and error, and networking with mates, love the approach. Keep up the great work
Mate I really enjoyed this video and loved the old mine boss in the background keeping eye on everything as usual, that tugged heart strings. Hammer on bro love your work!
glad to see you out again and yea its going to be a crazy summer for you like its going to be a crazy winter for me we had a tornado come through my town the thing is i dont live in a place that gets them Washington state Port orchard wa to be spot on it. we can thank the big island for what we are going to be getting more for the next few years all that water evaporated by the lava flows into the ocean has worked its way around the planet and is spreading out expect more intermittently over the summer. stay safe and find lots of gold in spots you had cleaned out before, floods will refill clean cracks.
Love watching you process material mate. Very Zen. And as always useful information that transcends borders. Good to see Grizzly back on the gold. Thanks Chris and Happy holidays brother.
Good Stuff from you Sir. Yep, Major Flood events are appreciated in these parts too. Well not so much here around home but in the hills for sure. The road coming to the house here tends to go away. Rearranges and Replenishes. Kicks up all that stuff that was just out of reach too.
Happy xmas to you and yours Chris, and have have a great and safe new year. Thanks for all the effort you have put into the channel this year and hopefully it will become a little easier to do next year..... heavy pans mate.
Merry Christmas to you to Chris. Thank you for all your wisdom, honesty and making the effort to talk about the hard subjects in life. You've truly helped me in all things gold and given me a few laughs, quite a few, along the way. Cheers Mate.
Hey Chris, Love you videos, I know I don't comment nearly enough. But you have excellent knowledge and a great delivery. As well I love the scenery. (I have to visit there some day) But most of all wanted to say how much I loved your opening to this video. And remembering those who may be having a hard time at this time of year. Good on you. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Dan, I'm a regular watcher of your show (as is my Dad of all people) and have gained a lot of insight from your videos. So a massive thank you too! Its an important message, its easy for people to forget that there are those who don't view the holidays as a good time.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Chris. Without this channel..i never would have thought about using a Gold Claw pan. I've been watching your channel since the gold rocker/burlap days😁😁. Your prospecting evolution has been epic. Looking forward to 2019. Peace...and I'M out😁
another great vid,keep um coming,your lucky living in such a gold rich country,all my streams and creeks have no bedrock its mainly stones and sand onto clay,but you have given me gold fever so im gonna have to get panning and see if theres any gold to be found,all the best .
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Chris. Also, thank you for the message in your intro, keeping it real brother. Santa came through with a massive gift certificate to my local prospecting store! YAH-HOO! Here's to a thrilling but safe new year!
Perhaps just wishful thinking, but maybe of someone wedged some good sized boulders down into the two channels all along the way like riffles, when the wet season came again, more material might stick. Thanks for bringing us along
Hapoy yule. Christmas and a brilluant bew year to all. . Chris thank you for your hard work that goes into entertaining/ educating us . Look forward to see you in 19.. stay safe
Thank you for your videos this year, I have learned a lot from them. They are delivered in a way a novice like myself can easily understand. A guitar pick is called a plectrum, by the way. We are in fact, going to be hosting a newly married couple for Xmas because they would have had to spend Xmas on their own, so we hop e their Xmas is better as a result.
Thanks for the fantastic years entertainment Chris, always look forward to a new Vo-Gus video's. Looking at doing a trip down to the Beachworth area sometime in early 2019, have permission to prospect a property near Porepunkah that we know has gold on it, perhaps we could meet up. Anyway hope you have a great Christmas and a fantastic new year, best wish's to Zoe and Grizzly.
Try what I did with picker petey putting a treat with gold and dig a hole put it in. Have griz dig it up "obviously observe so you can stop him before he does the nugget challenge " but that combined with sniffing the pan and repeat treats. Got petey scratching crevices and spot chirping over gold. Plus he's my best friend and the modern dat gold rush dog so that helps to
Happy new year, Chris! My question is about your sieve. I realise that a plastic sieve can be run by a coil to check that you haven't fluked a nugget in your screen whereas a metal one you can't, but do you find the plastic one is less efficient than a metal one because is has less open area?
Great video Chris, Merry Christmas from me to you.Thank you for all your efforts in making these fantastic videos,I am sure I speak for everyone who watches them.Looking forward to another year of videos in 2019.
Chris, have a great holiday . Nice video. Quarts veins you need to get some of the side samples also. We're getting our winter floods now. Long time till spring
Thank you Chris for an awesome year. Hope that you had a great Christmas and 2019 will be kind to you. (Kind of Golden). My brother became manic and schizo after trying a joint of all things. He died. My eldest daughter is showing the same signs though mainly depression and has been under care for a couple of years now. I've found there's not much we can do but just be there. From my experience most of the effort must come from them with guidance from the experts. Would this be right in your experience? It is absolutely devastating to have it happen twice in our family. We also have a niece that is really bad, she's on my partners side of the family. So Christmas was a struggle for everyone concerned this year, rather sad. As you say, just be there for them, put a plate out and invite them around. Listen and try not to make comment, leave that to the experts - just be there and try to understand. Cheers for the great sluicing vid, your advice has been taken on board. Cheers :)
100% right, any amount of forward progress must come from within the person. Its complex and all you can do is give them support through the bad. Look up malujusted Schemer's, that can help your understanding of why things may be happening.
very informative video. I have bookmarked some of your videos like this one so I can watch again. less than 25 videos to watch and I will have watched all your videos on this channel. thanks for the heads up on Challenge Chris Vlog. I stopped this video and went to check it out. NICE. now I have more to watch. you have a great camera presences and can relate to the audience. keep it up and one day you will be famous and I will be able to say. "I watched all of his videos." From the Alien Capital of the World, Roswell NM later gator
Bugger, so that was you who cleaned that area out lol, I found that spot last weekend. Did you happen to see the crevice at the start of the bedrock on the side you were on? It is about 3 feet deep and a foot across, but didn't look like it had been fully cleaned out, I will be giving it a go in the next few weeks.
AWSOME way to end 2018 Dear Sir and here is to 2019 and the adventures to come.! We have had some heavy rains here in the UK and a lot of our gold bearing rivers have been well above normal so we are hoping looking forward to fresh deposits and replenished systems in the spring. (On return from our epic adventure that is 😉 ) keep up the good work Chris and stay safe...!!!
35 years ago I went in to that channel with a dredge , got some good gold, but it never got replenished. To me it looks as if there is not enough gold bearing gravel coming down to that spot. 100 m up stream is where it stops ( where the diggings are).I will be there tomorrow , where I meet you and wayne, I found a spot 3m above the creek with some gravel ,got to check it out ,cheers bugger I forgot can't go ,christmas
Another awesome video bro always learn a bit from each one if ya ever up ballarat way i got a few good spots to go with ya monster have a good break for chrissy mate
No PTSD but depression yes still love Christmas but don't like being around a lot of people I would love to be on a creek in the middle of the forest in a tent with a campfire
Chris every video, you’ve done ✅ are mega awesome, you truly have a great heart an a good way with words an people!

Great info thankyou from England
Was talking with a guy I new from school. He said that a creek he had prospected in for years after the 2011 floods the gold just disappeared.
Depends if its being replenished or if its shifting missed gold. The latter would cause the gold to be deposited many kilomiters down stream

Happy new year, Chris! My question is about your sieve. I realise that a plastic sieve can be run by a coil to check that you haven't fluked a nugget in your screen whereas a metal one you can't, but do you find the plastic one is less efficient than a metal one because is has less open area?
I prefer the plastic ones because the weigh less, the detector thing, handles and the classification size
Merry Christmas, Chris. I hope you have a good one brother. You may be down under but I have learned so much from you. Thank you and good gold!

To me it looks as if there is not enough gold bearing gravel coming down to that spot. 100 m up stream is where it stops ( where the diggings are).I will be there tomorrow , where I meet you and wayne, I found a spot 3m above the creek with some gravel ,got to check it out ,cheers bugger I forgot can't go ,christmas
We found a nugget the size of my thumb nail there, so its definitely there. Hope your bench work out!
