- One of the best ways to see the extensive footprints left behind by the rich mining history of the Victorian Goldfields is through Google Earth!
Today I’m going to quickly show you and talk about some of the many different remnants that are left over from Victoria’s busy mining days, including what they are, how they appear from above, and what they look like in person.
Now, I spend a ridiculous amount of time cruising around on Google Earth looking at historical sites. I know there’s got to be plenty of other people out there who do the exact same thing, and if you’re watching this video, there’s a good chance you’re one of em, so welcome! You’re among friends.
I'd like to give a shout out to @OzGeologyOfficial with many thanks for kindly providing the incredible drone footage used in this video of some old diggings in the Golden Triangle.
Thoroughly enjoyed, thank you .I was pleasantly surprised by your very pleasant voice, could listen to you all day long.
Thanks mate, much appreciated 🙂⚒
Well presented great content
Thanks Shayne 🙂⚒
Another great informative video. Thanks for all your work putting these together.
This is awesome - thank you for sharing
Ozgeographics is an awesome channel, i see he supplied some of your graphics. Thanks for providing valuable info
Yes, his work is awesome 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the video! ⚒
Very nice to know about this info.
Glad you found it interesting 🙂⚒
Thanks for a great video! Very well done.
Thanks! 🙂⚒
👍 i was just looking Majorca lead on goggle yesterday, mates got a property just down from the lead on McCallum creek, lots of battery sand covering the gravels going off the maps there are a fair few cyanide plants up stream.
As soon as I seen your footage I recognised those holes.
Well done.
It's certainly a distinct area, well spotted :-) Cheers!
Very well explained
Thanks Sam 🙂⚒
Great video,thank you❤
I watched 16 seconds of this video, opened Google Earth and checked out an area I was told there was still large gold. I spent two weeks down there and while I did find the obvious diggings I completely missed the old camp sites and not so obvious diggings. I didn't find any gold because I was in the wrong area. Now I've got a 6000 I'm going back there. Great Video but I'd steer clear of cyanide areas. lol.
Wow, very nice to know this
Wow very nice.
Great knowledge thanku
So much respect for the old time diggers, whom were lucky if they owned a wheelbarrow or donkey.
It was definitely not easy going! ⚒⚒⚒
Great videos guys
Thanks! 🙂⚒
Bangin' video

fantastic again
Thank you 🙂
❤👍👍👍👍👍👍 very good video
Nice ❤❤❤❤😊
Great job, thank you. I wonder if you know the location of ruins at 4:05 ? They look interesting...
Thanks 🙂 those ruins are the pump house of the Berry No. 1 Mine, located on private land in Lawrence VIC. This was one of many large mines on the famous Berry deep lead ⚒
Was married at donolly 90s gold rush festival dressed in 1800 clothes arrived in horse & cart
was up late drinking and she said i married the paster as i was staring at him the whole time :)
Note: it lasted 8 years the next & final wife i made sure i looked at her she smiled like the sun
The Huge welcome stranger gold nugget found on doomsday hill married on Ha!
locals pick up gold washed from hills after heavy rain out from Ballarat Clunes & Talbot way Some very nice properties out there when green
A mate has a property i havent seen for 20 yrs spent many weekends there he blew a mine & found $12k gold in 1 rock he spent $20k but there's more to be dug up i bet
rocky creek beds cracks gather gold dark & red soil in deep creeks Look for any volcanic activity they spew gold diamonds up all around
when you spend years learning all this it makes it 30% easier the rest is traveling and Hard work :)
This came up in my feed im surprised i haven't watched it yet. I didnt know you had a daughter. How gorgeous. X
No daughter, that’s me doing the voice-over 🙂 cheers 🙂⚒
@goldfieldsguide my apologies dam You Tube. I was watching another channel and relying to that video and your video played directly afterwards, then of course posted my comment on your feed. Tried desperately to back track where my comment went but it was all too late.
Hehehe... Love your content also BTW, im guessing thats why your video played straight after..My random comment must have read very oddly. 😆
Ahhh that makes sense! 😆🙂
Well done 👍
Great summery and worth knowing.
Google Earth, is one of my main tools in the search for potential alluvial ground when out and about.
Pro-Tip !
In more remote locations and in WA for instance, you can identify more recently discovered alluvial areas via bulldozer/ loader scrapings.
Be safe while out and about and always let someone know where you go and when to expect you back- the Australian outback is unforgiving and will kill you, if you are ill prepared 👍
Great advice, thank you! 🙂⚒

Always said if you used Google earth to look for old rivers and waterfall yu could find a big deposit nobody mined yet
Good afternoon Ka th Chris awili
gold is one of if not the first provoker of greed in humans. It brings only bad energy and destroys the earth which is not ours to destroy so I will not be hunting gold in my time on this earth.
That is a good point to make. The lust for gold is sometimes the only way a poor person can make money. They make a living while others get rich on there sweat and death
Fred Hoffman will be there
Great summary of what to look for ..... the "history" button also provides info on how areas have changed. People need to be mindful that much of what was shown is on private property.
Thanks Tom 🙂⚒
