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
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.
Especially when he found that rusting breaking pan. It would interesting to find out how long its been there and who came camping 🏕 there around that time. Doesn't look like they left unhurriedly, hopefully not killed for their find at the time
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.
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.
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😁
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🎉❤😊
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. 👍
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. 🙌🏻👍
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.
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
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
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!
Mate geez you made a good decision to stick around & keep trying that area! :) Love the work, I am going to get my Dad & go out prospecting for our next holiday. We both love watching the content & I finally just came across your channel & man I don't know if I have seen a better channel. I love seeing more Aussies getting into 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.
@@user-im6fy4qp6m It is nice! I lived near Quincy CA for years and spent a lot of time in the Feather. But to find gold there...its been picked over very well, so I found if the dig out cracks and crevices , sometimes high above the water, you will find little nuggets.
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
Friend, great adventure.....beautiful place. Just one word of caution to consider. Especially as you were probably in an isolated place. At about the 3:50 mark you are exploring spaces amongst vegetation with plenty decaying organic matter. Consider poking in there with a stick or object first instead of your bare hands.
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...
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.
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.
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..😢😢😢😢😢😢
You came close to loosing that "nice little speckled egg" lol Fascinating to see a sluce doing it's thing Do you ever watch your own videos and think "I missed a bit there, it moved behind or under something?"
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
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.
Except majority of that 600,000 are far too fucking lazy to even make the walk there let alone getting in the water to search for hours with no guaranteed outcome and income.
Hi, first time viewer here. Congratulations on such a great find! I had a question about your hammock. How do you find it holds up in the rain? Do you have any tricks to keep the rain running down the rope and soaking the hammock at each end? I've got a hammock myself but I could never figure out a way to keep the rain out 100%. Any tips appreciated.
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
How does one secure their gold/findings at night, while asleep.. or in daytime the next day??? Just curious, I plan to go on a trip like this with the Missus, and our pup:)
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!
Just a suggestion, if you only have a little left, don't swing it in the water anymore, but take it with your hands, little by little, so you don't waste it like before.😊
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
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😊
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.
Ive got a question, can i find gold particles in any river or its a specific one? I would be very excited and happy to find even one small microscopic particle 😂
you can search for areas near you with gold, most places have at least flakes. get yourself a Garret Deluxe Gold pan kit and 2, 5 gallon buckets and go panning. Also, this guy in the video is absolutely terrible in his technique so learn a good technique anywhere else.
I thought we would see Levi because he always takes you along with him when he finds good area's. I really thought you guys were mates but that's what gold does to some people I guess. Cheers
It’s actually interesting that you should mention that because I was just thinking about it linking the idea to Revelations and one of the Trumpet calls of the apocalypse. I’m not sure if it is relevant to you though. Thanks for the post.
@@rfbftp123pauly is kind of a douche. Why he give himself vampire teeth like that? To be super cool? Rob is immensely better/cooler than pauly. Pauly would never work this hard to do anything.

Sorry I wasn’t taking abt what YOU wanted me to talk abt killer, I’ll do better in the future! In the meantime stay super cool, and way better than everyone else. It’s a good look for u! Much gay love to you ❤️ friend.
Nice vid. I am going to be doing some of this next year up here in Alaska. It's been a minute since the last time I've done it but all that did was give me way too many spots to go looking and now I just don't know where I want to start 🤣🤣
I love watching your videos, Rob. They are calming and relaxing whether you're prospecting in or out of the water. The unique beauty of nature runs through all of us to a certain extent. I imagine myself listening to the birds, while watching the water for hours. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. As far as the gold you find, it's impressive every time you 'name' the nuggets and weigh them. I guessed over the biggest nugget's weight at 1.5 grams. It is very difficult for me to guess a weight based on a view through a camera's lens and the colors of the water. Which actually is the basis for my question (no one can call it a stupid question because I am asking it 🤔). Why is the waters of Tazmania so clear, yet so yellow? I'm screaming at my phone for you to see a piece of gold, when it wasn't, and vice versa. So, why is the water stained? Iron? I would love to know. In the meantime, I send blessings from Alabama ❤️
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
Wow, this is bound to be an intriguing story! I'm curious about how they manage to find so much gold every day. Hopefully, this video provides insight and inspiration to seek valuable moments in everyday life
nice haul, hell at that rate it make ya wanna live out there in the woods like the old timers. haha. if you live somewhat close to be able to do this often, that must be a treat
As sixty years old man, I actually learnt something, don't now enything about this but looks amazing country 👌 and I can see you have done a lot of research into this 😀 just one thing do need a permit all is this done on hash 😮
Lmao! An old timer shovel!! Thanks for the laugh Just looking at it, you can see it stamped sheet metal and it’s held in place with a nail, which usually indicates mass production, low quality. Being that rusty deteriorated and a jungle isn’t that hard to do. Judging from the construction, I would say it’s from the 1960s to the 1980s. About 100 years younger than old

That old shovel etc looked stashed,God knows what else could be tucked away there,cool video great stuff,all the best.
Faster flow for sluice id say its also about angle and water flow helps it not get clogged so flakes dont flutter out
It’s actually interesting that you should mention that because I was just thinking about it linking the idea to Revelations and one of the Trumpet calls of the apocalypse.

I love watching your videos, Rob. They are calming and relaxing whether you're prospecting in or out of the water. The unique beauty of nature runs through all of us to a certain extent. I imagine myself listening to the birds, while watching the water for hours. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
As far as the gold you find, it's impressive every time you 'name' the nuggets and weigh them. I guessed over the biggest nugget's weight at 1.5 grams. It is very difficult for me to guess a weight based on a view through a camera's lens and the colors of the water. Which actually is the basis for my question (no one can call it a stupid question because I am asking it 🤔). Why is the waters of Tazmania so clear, yet so yellow? I'm screaming at my phone for you to see a piece of gold, when it wasn't, and vice versa. So, why is the water stained? Iron? I would love to know. In the meantime, I send blessings from Alabama ❤️
I would guess tannins from leaves branches etc
you actually have more money in your hands, as some good sized nuggets would sell for more than their weight
fun fact all his gold is owned by the british crown
@@Achkahklfun fact, unless you tell them, they will never know
@@Maxim.Teleguz fun fact: We "normal citizens" really own a shiz :/ all regulations/laws and stuff in modern orld limits all.
I’m sure he knows this lol
He knows and makes giveways ;)
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
Wowzer! I learnt so much here! Thanks for sharing!❤
Wow, this is bound to be an intriguing story! I'm curious about how they manage to find so much gold every day. Hopefully, this video provides insight and inspiration to seek valuable moments in everyday life
Blows my mind that you can spend all day working on such little food.
nice haul, hell at that rate it make ya wanna live out there in the woods like the old timers. haha. if you live somewhat close to be able to do this often, that must be a treat
Great videos my man .... look at the monster at 11:52 at the top right corner of video...hope she got caught!
My fave moment has got to be your reaction as you dropped that speckled egg.
As sixty years old man, I actually learnt something, don't now enything about this but looks amazing country 👌 and I can see you have done a lot of research into this 😀 just one thing do need a permit all is this done on hash 😮
"Nice little.. shit"
I am laughing so much right now 😂😂😂
Gold prices are Sky-Rocketing 💰
Lmao! An old timer shovel!! Thanks for the laugh
Just looking at it, you can see it stamped sheet metal and it’s held in place with a nail, which usually indicates mass production, low quality. Being that rusty deteriorated and a jungle isn’t that hard to do. Judging from the construction, I would say it’s from the 1960s to the 1980s.
About 100 years younger than old
Not everyone is a living dinosaur. A 50 year old shovel is old to the younger generation.
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.
