Another great video Vogus
Thank you
Some great energy in the production there Chris.
Great intro to this video Chris. I enjoyed every minute. Thank you for sharing. Peace ✌
I’m learning more from your videos then ever before. I like your recent videos about bench deposits and finding gold. Thanks
Glad to hear it mate.
Castille soap is eco friendly-After the sluice it should all be added to a small ball mill and rolled to perfection!!!!❤
Great video, keep up your search for the elusive golden nugget👍👍nice hanger for the next video 🤠👍
oooh i know all about that ultra fine gold, good job Chris, it is all about how much you can find, because it can add up quick!
Its amazing how quickly it adds up
Let me show you my turtle. Oh, total. Got it.
Great video as always. Got me good with the cliff hanger lol well done 😂😂. I’m hooked
I am not aloud to say anything about the announcement,but I can make an announcement that I have an announcement.
Awsome video mate just got my highbanker running I found 12 good specks in one bucket on a nice bench deposite
Enjoying your vids mate Another great show
You gave me hope for a little bit of gold hidden in places least expected. Always love your videos!
Glad you enjoyed!
Well done as always Chris, thanks mate..
Thank you!
Nice work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
great informative video! tyvm
Hi Chris, I tend to find that flour gold in sand deposited by back eddies, not always, but definitely more so than not. Cheers
Thank you very much, Chris. We appreciate. You are on my mind. From the start of the video, i was wanted to ask about floating gold and dish wash. And i took my answer at the end of the video. Awesome! Every time i go outside prospecting for gold, i'm trying to follow your advises. My pan always has yellow color in it!!!
I'm super happy to hear its helped you mate, heavy pans!
@@VoGusProspecting I wish the same to you, my friend.
Awesome mate I’m hoping to get out after work today to try a new Creek ⛏⛏👍
Another great vid . Thank you.
Cheers mate
Nice, well done matey
Hey Chris, I've only watched a couple of vids and subscribed. Went to a small creek with no water flowing, found a small puddle with a bedrock step/ledge. I basicly just dug into the clay with my hands, filled /4 of a bucket. Back to the car used some fresh water to pan in and found 3 pieces of gold! Thanks for the informative vids.
Great work mate, spend some time learning where it hides and go get you some more buckets
Absolutely killer soundtrack
Ty. Very informative
Very welcome
That's what I get here on the beach of Lake Superior. Lots of sand. Maybe some gold. One has to get a hundred specks before you can see it. Thanks for the great video and the fantastic announcement. Can't wait.
That's what its like here hey, you only notice when there Is a few hundred in a pan.
Hey mate, just found your channel and subbed. I am another Aussie treasure hunting in Vietnam :) Love your vids!
I have experienced the bits from those ANTS 🐜..LOL
GREAT SHOW.
Cheers Tony.👍🤓🍺⛏
Same here Tony. Was stung by one in Linton Forest. My arm got badly infected.
Very pointy sods the are!
You and Pauly with those fiberglass brushes! I neeeeeed them 😂
Have to make them
U can buy fibreglass rod online
6mm i think im using
looking good boy keep it up man
Thanks mate
Haha you crack me up Steve and I .........??” Love your vids
Coming to the States lol another great video brother I enjoy watching
Sweet adventure awesome finds beautiful area that’s cruel special news and it ends be safe guys keep your videos coming
Thanks mate, I don't see it as cruelty. I see it as exciting😊
Oh Dude.....the cliffhanger is cruel!!!!!!!!!!! So guessing time......I'm thinking you and Steve are going to make a sweet series of videos about the deliciousness of auriferous geology?
I've got to keep you blokes on your toes. Too much complacently around here.
Just moved down to VIC. As soon as life and weather allows it, I'll be on the hunt for some shine. My goal is to collect enough for either a ring or some earrings for my better half.
Thanks for the great entertainment and information.
nice Thnks for sharing this information how to fine super fine gold Thnks for this vedio u share us.
Great video mate, it is strange where the shiny sits sometimes. Looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers for sharing, happy hunting Alicia & Steve
Nice to see you both av not bin on for a while. Rasta says ello 👋
G'day!
I'm enjoying your videos, make bgm and voice volume stable, you are being an inspiration for my prospecting
Another great vid Chris
keep away from those bull ant bastards
did anybody else see the bull ant doing laps of
Steves bucket @3.39 mark
That's why I time lapsed that clip because he was like a little horse.
I reckon they are awesome!
Loved it
Im in NZ and there is very fine gold on the beaches around gold bearing rivers in the South Island. Saw it being worked....I asked the bloke about and he said ut was very heavy as well. About a level tablespoon for an ounce
Kind of makes sense when you think about it, I guess (but don't know) there is precious little room for porosity in that form. You should look into it. NZ has had some decent gold discoveries, so I presume prospecting is not out of the question, but have no actual clue.
@@stevetreloar6602 it actually is against the law to prospect without putting in a claim. I have looked into it. There are 5 frre prospecting areas which are all in the south island unfortunately. I have spoken with the mines department and I have to buy a claim @ $1600 per square km per year!!!! I know my local river is goldbearing but not in any quantity
I enjoyed the video as always, fabulous stuff, keep them coming I’m highly entertained 👍🌵🌴🦂⛏
Thanks mate, glad to have you.
Aloha Chris & Steve🤙🏼
Hope that y’all well.?
Love the vids. Ty agn for a very informative vid. Keep up the great work. That was a good bit of mustard/flower gold. Do you think you lost any while running?
Aloha🤙🏼
I dare say I did loose a bit. With a short sluice and that sized gold it's harder to catch all of it.
Vo-Gus Prospecting i would think that you did. I’ve seen some other vids abt mustard gold as to how difficult it was.
Glad that you 2 did find some gold.
God Bless & Stay well
Aloha🤙🏼
LOL, I love your dog, man. Just looking at his eyes you can see the stuff going on between his ears. Yep, something went south on the Audio here. Mining with a dependable Mate sure make things safer and better. Here on the dotted line of Mexico you don't go out alone . Was that a DIY fluide bed sluice I seen ? I have a few places that produce the Gold DUST about like that. That sand your working with looks like my front yard.
That gold sure will float.....
Great vid mate ! Where did you get that long hair brush you use to clean the bedrock ?
Hey mate crevice brush is custom made for chris, l was trying to figure this out for a while but, you can buy the 6mm fibreglass rod, cut to size then just drill small holes in block of timber and hot glue gun. Fibreglass rod can be a bit expensive but very much worth it
@@narlie1198 Cheers mate ! I'm gonne try to make my own. I already made my hand pump last year, so i hope i'll find the fiberglass rod in france haha
Nice video but the music volume was so much louder than your voice, i had to keep turning it down on the transitions then back up for when you talk 😢
Yer as I put at the start GoPro audio is shit and its hard to balance it.
Yeah, i wasn't saying it was bad music, i just dislike common practice of TH-camr's who deliberately have musical transitions that are a lot louder than the rest of their videos. It isn't something that Chris usually does though (he had some technical issues it seems), something for which i am grateful 😊
@@thewaterslesstraveled8487 mate the thing is none of us do it on purpose.
Once you try mixing 2 camera files, different audio for music and the two cameras you'll see how tricky it can be.
On top of that I can only tune the layout to my speakers and headphones. Not yours. On my phone and computer it's perfect.
But the balance would be off on your device for some reason.
I won't pretend to know anything about video editing/mixing, i just know that the volume on so many TH-camrs videos shoot way up when they have musical transitions, perhaps it's like on TV when the commercials are always a lot louder and the TV stations defend it and say that it's just different types of sound that sound louder 😂
It's not like it ruins my day to have to turn the volume down for music and then back up for peoples voices, just a little annoying that's all, oddly i have seen it happen with a bunch of different content creators, they start off super small with cheap equipment and limited skills but as they grow, get better at their vocation and buy more equipment it starts to happen with them too.
I guess it's just one of those things, i still like your content though so it's all good 😊
Good gold video
Thanks 👍
Steve and you will be....??? HAHA Cliff hanger!!! Great vids as always!
So you and Steve have entered into a domestic partnership, congrats. 😄
Thanks for your support.
Great video bro!!!! Are you ever going to come to New Zealand? If so that would be awesome!!!!
I've been a few times, Queenstown to go hunting and Christchurch for a holiday.
That ant was so lost on the bucket going round and round 😂 some nice flour right there👍🏻
He didn't know where he was going!
Vo-Gus Prospecting I feel that way sometimes too 😂
We are in mississippi usa, only have flourgold i need to try around here!!! Thanks for video i need to get my ass in gear and go out and look...
Awesome video keep them coming brother 👍👍⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️
Will do mate
I have flake gold here in Indiana. I have the Gold Hog Multi-sluice and I've changed out the gold hog mat with the dream mat. No matter which mat I use it still blows out gold. Any help would greatly be appreciated thanks. Awesome channel!
I'm working on a bit of gear to process sand. I'm doing it for the Tin up your way but it would work well on this deposit. Much faster than a sluice just shovel, shovel, shovel.
All the shoveling
@@VoGusProspecting Oh yes. Lots of shoveling. There is a deposit which I don't have the gear to process where the gold is so fine you can't use gravity to separate. I've still got my thinking cap on for how to deal with that one.
Go check out “Washington beach mining” all they do is sand. Hope that helps!
That was dirty pool there Chris...lol. I guess we will all have to wait to hear the announcement.
It'll be a while before I can show you fluffy the dragon.
@@VoGusProspecting well I eagerly await Fluffy's arrival.
Nice 👍
Awesome Chris👍
- Hoyt - Are you still on to archery?
No I tore my rotor cuff
@@VoGusProspecting Ouch....
It all adds up in the vile lol
New sub. I came from the "Klesh" channel. How much gold is needed before you can sell it? Is your gold ? I enjoy your personality and willingness to share your knowledge.
Gold in Australia is about 22k or more. I've sold as little ad 0.1g
Hi Chris
How do I separate super fine gold from the dirt and black sand
I try panning and useing a snuffle bottle
Thanks Les
Wish I was good with a camera,I’d love to show you where I’ve been working. Yesterday I found a gap between 2 pieces of bedrock that was 8-10 inches wide and 5 feet long. I pulled out a quarter cup of lead shot some rusty barbed wire and part of a sign post....oh and some gold :) thanks for your videos brother I love them!!!
I’ll be checking the shelf banks thanks to this video
Hey Chris have you ever thought of going to the very first place you learned to pan for gold and taking what you have learned over the years and repanning it
I do regularly mate
@@VoGusProspecting that's awesome I just got my very first clam here in Washington state and I'm thrilled to go and work it. It has gold and copper and some silver as well. I'm going to take everything I've learned from your videos and put it to use. So far I've gotten about 2.5 grams of gold out of it. I plan on working it hard this summer. I will be posting pics on Facebook for you to check out
I love your classifier, who makes it?
Minelab
Hi Chris. I enjoyed your video. Thanks for leaving that cliff hanger at the end. Ha ha ! One question.... Do you have a gas powered shop vac ? My concern is that you might missing a bunch of fine gold trapped in those micro crevasse of the bedrock. Sweeping with a broom is not nearly efficient. Keep on digging ! 🤠
I agree mate. I'd be leaving and losing quite a bit. I don't normally target this sort of deposit so I'm not to fussed about it.
Those jumping ants give a good sting ,if you get bitten by them just don't rub the bite area as it hurts twice as much and for twice as long , I've been living in the bush for a long time and worked it out years ago
Bracken fern sap will neutralize the sting.
What would you rate that size of gold.-50 -100???? I need to know also if u think a dream mat works w -50 and heavy black sands. Im gonna be jumping from a 2.5" high/B dregde to a 3 or 4" highbanker dredge..and im really scared im gonna blow out my fine fine...my gold varies between -50 to 1/4" and random small pickers..i cant decide what to do for the sluice box down below my hopper/expanded+moss and vrib &grizzly section.
That was good chrissy pilgrim .. and its always a treat to see puff the magic dragon steve .. my ol granpappy sonny always said iffins ya findin mustard gold look for the traumatized toomatao and that.ll really finish orff ya salad ..😁jolly good carryon puff puff ..😁
Do you use a GPS marker to mark the spots you sample at?
Yes
I much prefer to hear you're voice than the music brother. But still , nothing but love for all your hard work and back pain.
I like EDM music, some dont. Luckily that's why we are all individuals☺
Hey Chris, you never told us part of your disability included a third hand............@ 8:36 you had 3 hands working that sand, well done, I'm actually jealous. Imagine - one hand holding the camera whilst the other 2 brush and collect the sand. That's so awesome!!!!! By the way, how long is that green matting in your sluice? Do you think it is long enough for very fine gold? After watching this vid, I'm thinking I may need to add just another bit to my sluice plans to try and catch the floating stuff. I reckon half what you got probably floated over your matting so I'm going to see what I can do to add to what I take in the mustard gold part of sluicing. Excellent vid again Chris, loved it :)
I used to make mud pies like that as a child, wonder what I was throwing away?
NICE
Beach gold sand looks like almost
You need a cordless shopvac.
Hello Chris,while I have no experience with flour or mustard gold, I still feel You should puddle or rinse Your sand more and run sort of miller table setup to get most out of that type of deposit ,also as You mentioned, use detergent.Try that for comparison of yield, good luck, regards George
I did puddle and saturate the dirt for this reason. More importantly I ran the sluice at a lower angle than normal, this goes a long way to helping recovery.
But you are correct, more mustard gold would be recovered if you set up specifically for it. Eg, gold cube.
Hello Chris, on a rainy day go to Alan Robertson youtube, in Montana. He has invented lots of gadgets for easier mining.Go to Yoube re beach sands. I bet You find it interesting ,regards George@@VoGusProspecting
I heard Steve and I will be...…. and the video ended what's the special announcement?????
They're keeping us in suspense.
Had one of those black ants crawl up my leg and bite me on the first thing he came to, that's right, there. Needless to say the ant died violently.
Ooooo, I winced at that.
Cross dressing ! Panners go Pimping !
So if gold is always redepositing is it worth going back to a previously worked location you've already cleaned up? If so how often would you check a good gold trap previously cleaned out? Example: say you had a little drop in a creek, and you've previously cleaned out everything at the bottom of it.. Would you go back and clean it out again? How long if you would should be adequate to wait before it'd be worth doing again?
I go back to good spots after each flood event.
Where's the announcement? The suspense is worse than Game of Thrones!
GOT has nothing on this.
@@VoGusProspecting Will you be prospecting different parts of the country and reviewing? or hitting W.A gold fields with your detectors? I'm still brain storming what the announcement could possibly be.
Was that a DIY Fluid Bed I seen ? You can see the gears turning in your dogs head some times. That sand looks like my front yard. I can find a few spects in a 5gal bucket sluicing with my hose. LOL Yep, Something went south on your audio with this video. Cool Vedia Again Sir.
Gopro audio sucks balls. I can never seem to get it to balance.
Holy cow that’s small
Its not big that's for sure!
Hey Chris it looks like Grizz has taken up imitating Steve @6.07 with that stick hanging out of his mouth
Could you show how to do a good clean up please
In two videos time its happening
Will be.... ah the suspense it's killing me, dang cliffhanger. Will be slucing at water parks, collaborating with Andrew, not be traveling abroad all the gold is here. Leasing a claim in western Australia.
I'm getting a pet dinosaur named wrex.
I’m surprised you guys don’t have a couple cordless sawzalls.
Travelling to visit pioneer pauly?
Having a baby! Getting married! Giving up prospecting and getting jobs! Purchased a gold mine! Dont know. HH
👍🏼
AAnnnd leaves us in suspense.........
We're a couple of flirts.
👍👍👍
Oh vogus you sob lol. Leaving all of us in suspense.
Just think, itkl be worth it.
Interesting gold in sand. Thanks for the announcement about Steve and you sending a nugget to the first person to guess your announcement.!! You can contact me for my address etc. THANKS!!
Haha!!
A little saw would have been handy to get through that pesky branch.
No need man, just work around it.
Hahaha! Very funny!
☺
Why is it so? Sand? How did the gold fall there? Weird, but you have the nose for it. Awesome!
Its a low pressure zone, that's why the sand was there.
Ok, cool. Not going to discard sand on LPZ from now on. Just for kicks. Thanks Chris. @@VoGusProspecting
You need a vacuum cleaner to suck up all the dust
hi I think you need a longer gold gutter
Sluice?
Not really, in this case the fine gold is very hard to catch. But that's exactly the type of gold this sluice matting was built for.
@@VoGusProspecting yes, well, I would just build a back to it: D safe is safe
