Finding $1000 Worth of Gold Every Day

- I’m out here camped in the wild reaches of Tasmania’s West coast, searching for alluvial gold. In my last episode I found several cracks which were packed full of small nuggets.
Today I'll be heading downstream, to work some of the crevices that are otherwise unsnipable. The gold will be shiny, chunky, and plentiful, but will I be able to beat my last trips tally of over 22 grams?

Man even without the gold it's such a beautiful little creek, perfect bench for camping under the ferns. Thanks for sharing Rob!
yes that i wanted to say,. i just found this channel. and the movie quality etc is very good. and the gold too.
but the nature is amazing very nice for camping etc.
all the best.

Yeah Rob probably followed Levi to that location! I don't have any respect for a guy when Levi takes Rob along to his good locations but not Rob! I watched one of Levi's episodes when he went back to a spot Levi took Rob too. Only to find out Rob was already there with a mate of his and was bragging how he and his mate cleaned it out! I wouldn't show Rob another spot ever again or help him out...that's not a good mate IMO but I guess that's how some guys are in this world. Cheers and good luck Levi your a good man
I'm so glad to see you are still making videos. Living vicariously through your adventures every time you post. Thank you.
Watching this is very therapeutic.
I think the uplifting music at the end is a nice touch, I didn't mind the music in the previous videos but this feels like a nice compromise. Either way, keep up the good work, I always get a little burst of excitement when I see you have a new video out.
Fantastic,nature, history and your good self obviously having a great time,no wonder you slept in such a peaceful place,thanks again for the adventure🎉❤😊
Well done Rob, pleased to see that you had a great reward for the hard work you put in. Your excitement on finding the shovel just shows your dedication to the history of Tasmania.
"Enough of that!". LOL agree. Taking living vicariously to a new degree. Thanks for sharing Rob.
Woow
9:10 - my fav game as a kid playing in the stream - creating dams, 30 years old memories just surfaced :)
I always wonder when they're painting they don't have a pan underneath the panto catch any that may have fallen while they were painting I don't understand why not have another pan underneath
I love the high quality zoom in camera you use, gives me the gold fever even more seeing the nuggs so clear
I love the videos brother. Thanks for sharing the adventures with us!
Right on, every time I watch your videos when you're sniping and seeing the gold you find. I always wondered what it would be like to run a sluice on those creeks . Now I know. Thanks for sharing. 👍
saying yes without saying yup.lol
I see how you use your pan; not just you but Levi & other young fellas. When I first started out with my steel pan all they had was an indented ring an inch from the top edge. The emphasis was put on the constant swirling action of the material in the pan & the gold would be difficult to lose. When plastic pans came out (I still have my original one) they had concave steps on one side like yours does. Rob, you can work the material harder in the pan if it's moving because the gold will always stay at the bottom, irrespective of heavy sands, after all, gold is 24 times heavier than water by volume. Try swirling Rob, truly really. Great shows btw, regards Paul BB FNQld
Nice work Rob. I'm surprised you and Levi don't do more sluicing on your trips. There's plenty of nice inside bends on your journeys but you guys know the rivers better than us. Thanks for sharing your journey
Great work, Rob 👍🏼. That is hard work and dedication to bring home your bounty, mate.
Miners moss is good for small gold that gets trapped. Try dream mat or one of the others that have larger holes. A shower curtain works well to dam a small creek - weighs little and is quicker than rock walls. Your pan has riffles - use them. Learn to top tap and back wash the magnetite - you lose less gold. Hope that helps.
Ripper weekend Rob well done mate yes, it is so cool coming across old time relics wherever they be. Stay safe.
good story Rob, thanks. next time you sluice block out underneath it and on the immediate sides of it- especially with your sieve throwaways. lots of flow loss was happening right around the sluice itself.love your work!
btw, i was a pond and waterfall builder for many years and right around and underneathe the top of the falls is generally where all the flow loss occurs.
Wooow
Thats an incredible video and really well shot well done dude 🤜🤘
👍well done ,love the description of the larger bits, could see everyone. Over two thirds of an ounce can't be laughed at.
Well done mate, I would have ran the sluice a little deeper and your looking for a V waterline to pull in evenly at the top end. It’s hard work and loads more equipment to drag around panning, sluicing, and highbanking. Saying that I have done for 15 years and now only less than a year I have found more Gold snipping in one year than 15 years with all the equipment. Much easier on the body too. Love your videos rob. 🙌🏻👍
far out, Good On You Rob! awesome effort. thankyou for sharing
Thanks Andy been doing it hard lately, separated from my wife august and lost my best friend 3 months later. Good of you to put it out there,thanks for the ride
Gold fever will ruin this river once the word is out. I would keep location a total secret even if you're far from the west coast of Tasmania. There's almost 600,000 thousand people that live there that would want a piece of that action. Exciting video to watch.
You'd be surprised but there's more gold still to be found than has been mined in all of human history. In 1900 the entire world's supply was something ridiculously small like 500 million ounces. Since then I think we're probably up around 5 billion ounces but who knows. Also you'd be surprised how lazy people are these days and skeptical. They won't go do the work themselves and they certainly won't help you do it. I speak from experience.
Love the way you filmed the tally at the end! Great gold!
Unreal, it just keeps paying out🙌 Congratulations👌
He calculated this in Australian dollars as a disclaimer.
Really cool haul. Thanks for sharing!
Magical filming Rob, the foliage and picturesque shots were phenomenal to see on the big screen. That amazing piece of history found of the old timers digging tool was epic. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences and passion with us mate. Stay strong and golden my friend. Do you have any merchandise with your logo on them. 🫶👊💪🇺🇸⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
Woow
just amazing storytelling and cinematography
What a fascinating trip. I think the scenery is just as eye watering as the gold. Well done on a great trip.
Great haul!!
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
Thank you for making the video! It was funn to watch. Greetings from holland
I remember my River prospecting days. The wetsuit wasn't due to temperature, but stopping march flies from stinging my arse and back.
Do you run a 3mm or 5mm suit? Some suits can really cut in depending how you sit and lean over.
Bro I'm sure you figured this out by now, but you can use the riffles on your Pan to help ensure you keep as much gold in your pan when washing away. The smooth parts are mainly finishing areas. If you did not know this I hope it helps😁
Really interesting footage. Curious if you brought the old shovel home for your collection.
Wowzer! I learnt so much here! Thanks for sharing!❤
It was an enjoyable watch as per usual. I keep meaning to ask you. Over here in the uk we call the small stones Gravel. And I keep hearing you say Gravels. Is this a local dialect thing or just all over Taz
As soon as you said coffee I hit pause 😊. Between interested and old I forgot 😂.
Coffee ya,ya that's it coffee!🎉🎉🎉
Good morning and nice job Rob 👍
Such a beautiful place, it reeks of ancient...
Great videos. All the best from Oatlands, Tassie..
Nice haul mate, I think you need to sharpen your scraper pick tip! Worn it out! Also you need to refine your panning technique, the riffles use them. Use a big stick or log to direct your water flow/dam wall. Cheers mate enjoy seeing you back out there. ❤it😊
Nice gold. Is it legal to use a small suction dredge? You could really clean up wilh a 3" or even 2" backpacker dredge.
In one of your video's you told that it's illegal to sell it in Tasmania, So what do you do with the gold?
Great trip, fine chunky gold bits!
I thought those orchids were only on Flinders.
Well done my brother. That sure looks like alot cooler way of finding gold than swinging a detector over here in Western Australia's 40 plus heat at the moment..😢😢😢😢😢😢
Woohoo been looking forward to this one Rob
Thanks mate enjoy
@@Rob.Parsons You calculated your find on 24K but native gold is not pure, range approximately 20-22K worth a bit less but still nice prospecting !
Weigh-ins Rock, thanks 😊. Nice work again 👍. Cheers 🍻
Rob great video mate. I have a question for you. Will there be gold in Scottish rivers.???
Excellent , so Happy for you. Hey Rob Look up Pocket hunting in the quartz I learned from an Old timer for almost 300K worth in one set of pockets.
Bro love your vids so glad you hitting it big
Rob, you’re an artist. i i live your videos for the way YOU make them. I love the artistry you bring that few others do. You make documentaries, not short 15 minute youtube videos. Use your music. Ignore the neadrathols who have never experienced the beauty of your artistry. Keep exploring, keep sharing what you find. Most of all keep sharing in Your own way. You are spectacular at it!
Gold is actually 3.7 times heavier than magnetite(black sand). I like to keep my water level at least half as deep as the sides of my sluice, and flowing at a rate of about 2 seconds in and out. If the black sand is getting washed out, then lift up the outflow end to slow it down a bit. I also like to use a glass jar as a way to view what is in the sluice clearly. Can't wait to get back at it in N. California.
Incredible, Mr. Rob! I swear, you should have 743k subscribers not 74,3k! The world needs to see your unique perspective on Tasmania - it is truly captivating. I love your gold trips and the recent film-style posts that you've shared with us are just breathtaking. Keep up the incredible work, young man! It's an honour to be able to live your adventures! Best wishes, always. ~~ Ray
For sure. Rob way way cooler/better/harder than pauly, Dan Hurd, and their gang. Rob definitely deserves all their subs.
Great episode! Reminded me of Tom Massie's old Gold Fever program!
gotta get that blueberry bounce going on lol.
Hey Rob, another great video. I think an old miner cached some of his gear in that spot and left the shovel that way to make it easy to find when he came back. Just a thought. Might be fun to metal detect around that spot and see if any thing else cool pops out. Cheers and thanks for sharing your adventures. Can't hunt for gold like that in Texas, I am jealous as hell! LOL
Awesome Rob not a bad haul in a magic place keep them coming.
Rob, has anyone ever told you that you are a legend? Well... you are a legend mate.
Great video, i feel like a skinny stainless wire brush would help to dislodge nuggies or clean out the crevices
Definitely woodboogers watching you out there in that forest !! Awesome stuff though wish I could find gold in Pennsylvania!! Be careful out there sir keep finding them nugs!!
Your Killin it mate well done!
Over several years, I had panned off at least seven ounces i was taught by the oldies to remove the light gravel from the back of the dish and never swirl gravel out of the pan. Hey but what would they know?
My compliments on the underwater camera work, looks clearer than the air!
Epic trip, as usual your filming and editing are so appreciated. 👍🏻💥🍔
At 19:22 that piece has a face on it. Nice to see you out there again Rob, keep up the good fight.
Congratulations! Looks like a good time!
Hope you’re all right! Waiting for another video! Love the channel
Wow, that is some very Very nice gold! Nice haul!
Awesome haul mate. Well done.
You are indeed an expert when it comes to forests and looking for gold. I salute you, a profession from Indonesia, friend, warm greetings
You ever think of going to NZ and doing the same thing? Would be a cool adventure..i enjoyed the video...😀👍
Faster flow for sluice id say its also about angle and water flow helps it not get clogged so flakes dont flutter out
good fun to watch I can see how it becomes adddictive. My only thought is youll get people heading that way now youve put it on film? Or maybe you are no where near Tasmania🤨
I love how it's a survival video and gold hunting lol some of the most videos I watch lol
Rob, I have an amateur question: When panning, why do you use the smooth side of the pan and not the side with the coarse steps?
The corse side is mainly used for finer gold.
Nuggets you don't need to trap in the grooves.
But at the same time it's just how you like doing it.
There are plenty of vids on how to pan.
How do you know ow what carat it is? Or is all natural gold 24carat?
Another awesome
31 minutes 💯 Thank you
The only downside for me is when the music plays louder than your voice.
I love the nature sounds.
The music does tend to drown out your voice.
is it free to get or do you buy land permission.
Just caught yourself a subscriber. Wandered over to your channel after a Dan Hurd video.
Great stuff my friend! A little more water speed over the sluice would really help clean in out with less material to sort though when it comes time to pan.
Great Haul Rob! Youd be able to stop working and rely on gold prospecting 2 days a week if you could reliably find that much
he will until people come or maybe after months or years
Great gold mate. For as much as I am in to gold I definitely live in the wrong area lol. Again great gold. Totally Epic for sure.
Love the videos mate, drop the end of the sluice down for more flow , ideally you want a 9 to 11 degree drop. I’m a bit worried you’re going to cause a mad rush of people to crash that pristine forest. Never lets them know what your true take is , we won’t mind , keeping your personal safety first. There are too many crazy people in this world today. (Like Levi) lol😂
God bless , stay safe and keep it Shiny 🍻
Agree, drop the base of the sluice. It doesn't matter if the leading edge fins are slightly cutting the water because it's the water you need. Tip the bottom down. You are finding gold in a fast flowing creek, don't forget that it's the water that shows you the gold in the first place. I put more 'humps' in my sluice to create low pressure points. Good luck Paul BB FNQld
What is the climate like where you were in Tasmania? Did you not feel cold?
The rabbit piece looks like a little bulldog to me 😂 Great stuff
hello, what is the think use to swallow nugget under water ??
That shovel looks useful. You could tune it back up and find some more gold with it.
That old shovel etc looked stashed,God knows what else could be tucked away there,cool video great stuff,all the best.
Did you leave the bottle with the gold behind?
Ohh yeahh been waiting for you to get to using that sluice box, this is my therapy
Rob, Please provide GPS coordinates for the honey hole. Thank you in advance.
I love your office, watching from sunny california,
I enjoy watching your video. Great!
I would definitely do a weigh in on each video. Stay tuned for part two is really annoying to most viewers. You did great and got some beautiful gold to boot.
Awesome vid as usual mate.
Peter and Donna from Corrina love your videos keep up the good work,
If that shovel really is 100 yrs old then it is a great find and souvenir for you. I'm amazed at the preservation as I'm assuming it's a temperate rain-forest climate? A minor miracle for iron/steel to survive that long outdoors? Please publish your research / dating results on this lovely piece of history. And keep living the dream!
Nice job. Good filming. Golden video.
So I come home from work and this is so relaxing.
you actually have more money in your hands, as some good sized nuggets would sell for more than their weight
You should metal detect that whole area. I would. If I ever get to Tasmania, I'll get in touch with you to see if we can explore together.
Is it legal to sluice in Tasmania? I know in North America it sure isn't, you might want to check if you haven't Rob.
25:28 that stuffed crack on left is begging to be broken up. Do you do these off camera?
Shovel’s the number 1 cruel piece of evidence in a crime. During a confession, tells em EXACTLY where it is for deal…. NO DEAL! 😳
"Nice little.. shit"
I am laughing so much right now 😂😂😂
