Hi Chris, it's a collar stud, for attaching your collar to your collarless shirt, or as front buttons. Once it's clean, try turning it the milled edge it'll unscrew. You are the best there is on yt, keep doing it and thanks, Tom V
Thank you for the years of entertainment and encouragement. Patience is the key. Stay on track getting that shiny. Love you And Thank you. May God bless you with abundance of Gold.
I absolutely LOVE your uploads!! You, Gadzee (spelling?) and Mick are larger than life. Your personalities are so unique and full of character! The prospecting adventures contained in each episode are never dull or repetitive. It's like watching a full on production TV series! Just know all your hard work is appreciated!!
Hi Chris that's a collar stud. It's like a button that was used to keep celluloid collars in place. I'm sure you've seen shirts that don't have collars, well that's what shirts were like way back and they added the collars for their Sunday best clothes! Hope that helps
Thank you, Kerry. I didn't know about the add on collars. It makes sense with the limited resources and wardrobes to gussy up your shirt rather than keep an extra around. I didn't know for certain what it was. If I didn't see an answer in the comments I was going to suggest some kind of nicer button or cufflink. I truly do appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Similar things are popular in the American Southwest - you can buy silver and turquoise button covers that slip over your shirt buttons to spiff them up for fancy events. I have a box full of them collected over the years during trips to Santa Fe.
Well Chris... this is an amazing video. So many different adventures all rolled into one. It's crazy how fast the creek's rise to such levels and again how quickly they drop. Nice results for a week of prospecting. Cheers and thanks for sharing your adventures.
Hi Chris! Love watching your videos! I live in Grass Valley CA. Where the 1849 gold rush happened. Lot of gold here still and looking forward to some of your techniques. Thanks for videos!
That looks like a right good time love seeing Australia and all its beauty and that beautiful Australian Gold stay hydrated keep having fun and be safe looking forward to the next video
Well done Chris. Being out in the bush is the best for everything. Troubles melt away. Congrats on the gold. 10x5 is a great little poke it in coil. Take care mate. Regards Andrew 😁👍
Pure joy to watch. Always lots of knowledge and interesting story told. Your voice is like friend to me, though its voice of professional narrator. Makes me eager to know more. Thankyou!
Love your attitude, Chris. You sir have locked into the power of living life my friend. God Bless you with healing for your back and lots of gold. Goes without saying. Your videos are absolutely outstanding. Great knowledge and chatter. ;D
That was a really good video I like the fact that you keep on pushing to get your butt up and off of the couch and you just showed me that it is possible even with a bad back. Good job keep up the good work finding all that gold I'm gonna get myself motivated this weekend and go out and try and prospect it's Winter here in Idaho now it's cold. And your beard and everything is coming out great it is looking good.
Years ago when I did a lot of hiking in the bush, we used a stuff we called Bug Piss Off. It's equal parts olive oil and dettol. You keep it in a bottle and shake it up before you rub it on your arms, legs etc. You can also put it on your tent, pack, hat etc. Flies and mozzies hate the smell of dettol. Cheap and easy to make and lasts for years. Love your videos Chris, keep yourself safe.
Hey Chris, I have Multiple sclerosis and I couldn't agree with you more, when you were talking about when you have to deal with chronic pain all the time and you have a choice to sit at home and do nothing and be in pain or you can go out and do something you love and be in pain. The choice is obvious, I'm super into rockhounding and mine exploring here in Arizona and I find engaging in something you love doing to be one of the best pain killers for me.
Suffering from a.back injury myself , I understand your pain and also I feel the same way, keep moving and do what you can to enjoy life and all that it has. Sometimes I overdo it and pay on pain but then I just get back at it as soon as I can. No reason to sit and and wallow in the pain it just makes it worse to me Do what you can when you can is my motto.
It is amazing that so much gold is there for the taking! I really hope that you get a giant sized nugget one of these days. Great video and commentary. Keep up the good work and take good care of your back.
I think what he needs is a piece of plywood under his mattress when my brother hurt his back he used plywood which I thought was just rubbish but when I hurt my back reluctantly I tried it and it worked greatly improving my back so much..
Hey bud just wanted to say thanks for the vid i enjoy when you put out longer vids that I can watch at lunch without having to scroll i get to relax more! 😁👌
Awesome video here Chris. Very nice job on metal detecting several times in this video as well as gold panning and using the mini highbanker in the entire video here. Definitely a very good fine on the gold specimens.
Hi! Just wanted to say, I am enjoying your videos! I'm learning a lot. I am planning to try my hand next spring. See if there's anything in my area. Hi from NS, Canada.
Some really cool gold specimens there. I would love to find something like that up here in Canada. Have a great day Cheers from an Old Moldy Supporter :)
Thats amazing!! I'm constantly in pain so i feel ya.....but i can't get to fields as regularly,,,bloody work. I hope to get up there (Heathcote) as a start base to find my first with detectors, or hit creek for tiny stuff....
Try using lidocaine patches on your back. I have had four fission back operations and when my back or neck is extremely sore the lidocaine patches help. Also try using CBD patches and creams or better yet use THC with CBD patches and rubbing creams. Hope it helps.
i'm amazed with an area i use to visit just out of talbot victoria 1000,s of little rocker box stone piles dotted around the place with sheet iron full of 1/2 holes , i have found bits the miners missed and with the rain all the little water pits are full like stepping back in time, just imagine all those rockers going side to side day and night.
I know what it’s like to have a painful back. It’s kyphosis I have and rib cage rests on my pelvis on the tight side. I couldn’t prospect but privileged to go prospecting via your channel and videos. You ended up with decent gold so you perseverance paid off. Just take care of yr back
That little rivet looks like the kind of thing they used to put on the ends of shirt collars ... Ferns greeting Gadzee was like "we went out yesterday and the mozzies were like this ...alll day gadz" .. I wonder about your couch...I suspect it might be possible to find a little gold down the back of your cushions...but not the point. I am also a do stuff instead of sitting on my rear sort of person, there are still days when I don't have a choice but given any leeway at all I take it and go do something productive. (I watch youtube in the "I don't have a choice times")
I've had back and neck pain most of my adult life. I finally found a physical therapist who taught me how to fix it myself. You probably know this, but maybe some of your viewers don't; repeated bad posture causes the synovial fluid, in your spinal column, to ooze out between your vertebrae and pinch nerves, causing the pain. Synovial fluid is there to protect your nerves. It has the consistency of jello, so it doesn't move very easily. To fix the pain, you must do the opposite of what caused it. In your case, Chris, you're hunched over a pan, you dig a lot with a curved back, you drive to the sights with curved back. To fix it, you have to do a lot of back bends, the other way, push that jello back through your vertebrae by doing it over and over. lay on your stomach and push up, keeping your pelvis on the ground. You can feel the pain change; adjust so you are chasing the pain. You know when you're close to getting the fluid pushed back into your spinal column, because it hurts like a M.F. It hurts so bad. But the minute the synovial fluid goes back into the column, the pan is instantly gone. It actually hurts for a few days because you've bruised the nerve, but that's how you fix it. There's a book Fix Your Own Back and Fix Your Own Neck, that tells you what to do.
Thank you for providing info about the book that I'm going to buy. Exercise and stretching does help with the spinal fluid so you more or less fix the shock absorber operation and helps raising and separating the discs which takes some of the pressure off of herniated discs, it also helps a lot with arthritis.
Hey look, it's me.
Hey look, it's you!
You Shure? Lol
🤣
😂
But... but I'm me. You're you, not me!
Loved it mate but I hate mosquitoes put a wetsuit on 😂😖
They were horrendously persistent!
They were making me itchy watching them on the lense!
Hi Chris, it's a collar stud, for attaching your collar to your collarless shirt, or as front buttons. Once it's clean, try turning it the milled edge it'll unscrew.
You are the best there is on yt, keep doing it and thanks,
Tom V
I really enjoy these weekly updates instead of trying to make a separate video each time you go out, it's cool to see the variety!
That's a Great gift...is what that is...
You're probably one of the only original TH-camrs I still watch now. You don't seem to try to hard to get views. Thanks for keeping it real bro
Its a fine line. I need views to pay my bills. But I also don't feel comfortable going down the path that many others have
"Never underestimate a tiny crack", the 12yr old in me giggled like heck 😂🤣
Thank you for the years of entertainment and encouragement. Patience is the key. Stay on track getting that shiny. Love you And Thank you. May God bless you with abundance of Gold.
By far the most entertaining and informative channel on TH-cam.

Does using lidocaine patches help? Have you tried CBD patches or rubbing cream?
Good job Chris 👌👊

Interesting little idea! I hate mozzies!
We used to use baby oil and dettol for the horses!
Nice work 👏🏻
Thanks mate 👍

Always enjoying watching your adventures. Want to get out and prospect for gold as well.
Congratulations to the winner! 🎉😊
Nice work mate 👍
Your videos are the best. Thanks for all the effort and passion you put into your film making.
Tuxedo button

Hi! Just wanted to say, I am enjoying your videos! I'm learning a lot. I am planning to try my hand next spring. See if there's anything in my area. Hi from NS, Canada.

wow, it's very easy to hunt for gold there, friends.. greetings from Indonesia, nice to visit friends. don't forget to come back..
Love your vids mate, helps with the stir crazy from injury sitting at home not able to move
That Enfield guy, are you talking Enfield near Ballarat by any chance? If so it's an awesome area
Wow, that was some raging water. Another great episode.
Hope your back feels better
Chris, at 26:46 the pan you showed had a very bright bit of yellow rock. I am curious, does readdy creek have any citrine in it?
Sure does
Your personality is fantastic, never see much gold.
But your enthusiasm makes your clips TH-cam gold.
And I love the cameo actor, the Boxer dog 🐕 😂
Thats amazing!! I'm constantly in pain so i feel ya.....but i can't get to fields as regularly,,,bloody work. I hope to get up there (Heathcote) as a start base to find my first with detectors, or hit creek for tiny stuff....
Try using lidocaine patches on your back. I have had four fission back operations and when my back or neck is extremely sore the lidocaine patches help. Also try using CBD patches and creams or better yet use THC with CBD patches and rubbing creams. Hope it helps.
Chris I know exactly what those are they are buttons from the old timers that's a right nice specimen of 1. As always good luck and God Bless.
Love your videos :)

Back pain is very draining. Hang in there Chris.

The item you found is an antique button. Kind a fancy to be found in the gold fields!
I have the same gold fox sluice! Where did you get the Jarvine riffle for it?
nice vidio
9:05 I think this will be a collar stud from back in’t day 😃
What you fou d Chris was a cuff link or top button collar stay.
Up and at em. Fun won't find itself ❤️
11👍's up thank you for sharing
Thank you too
Seen that place on ausi gold
