@@kristophergossett8753 thanks, I live in Florida but want to go do this somewhere with gold. So I am thinking a week or two camping would be fun. Unfortunately for me I have to go somewhere other than my backyard. So any advice on places would be much obliged.
I've had this idea for 30 years that one the creeks on our farm might have some gold in it, so I watched this video last night then went out this morning and with in 15min I found some colour very happy. Cheers for posting bud.
Work all area behind the rock bar and funnelled area then work towards the banks. Dig down till you hit rock floor or clay layer. In dry season clean out creek or work area completely, including cleaning out the crevices, then process. I've cleaned out many small creeks over the years in far north Queensland and had lots of success with gold, tin, gemstones. I use home-made sluice box in a kit form for easy carry or a "Banjo" type sluice box set up once on a good run that's long term working. Any old timers reading this will know of a " Banjo " type sluice box set up. Best way to remove ironstone from pan is with magnet from underneath before you fully concentrate your fines or use magnet in old film cannister gently gliding over top of fines in pan. Hope this little trick helps those who read the comments. Cheers from an old fart now in WA still, digging gold.
Chris I'm so glad you do these videos. I have been doing this for a couple years and I have learned more from you in a couple weeks then the whole time I've been digging dirt. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Chris. I never lose concentration with your educational videos. And the snow melt is well underway here at home. I'm doing a new river sluice(again) with Gold Owl mats.
Thanks for the simple speak. I’ve had the habit of not testing enough/properly. And it frustrated me every time! “Good pan on the first go! I’ll keep working this section.” 3 pans later... “Where’d all the gold go?” 🤔 Yes, the hills are starting the thaw right now here in Canada. Creeks are slow enough to do some preflooding work and then in a few months will be low again for flood gold/flour. Thanks for the contributions!
Gus!! Thank you brother man. I have watched hundreds of videos and it always begins with a camera in a hole! Thank you for teaching how to read the creek.
When I was in Colombia I told the uncle there is GOLD right there . He said not here . I panned anyway , the black sand came up , I knew there was gold and more panning showed plenty of it . he was shocked , lived there all his life and never knew . Was kinda exciting pulling out a few grams .
You are a wealth of Knowledge. Your way you identify where to find gold is priceless. I am retired and have been panning for gold in Wa State the last few years. I subscribed to your channel. Thx Again!
I would love to, but keep in mind that he found only max 15/20 dollars of gold in 4 hours.. I don't know what the avarage wage in the US is, but I make that in an hour of normal work...
Supreme video here folks and that catchy, Sonic the hedgehog song is the best. It's not the number of views that makes a video. it's the prospector that makes it great keep up the great work.
Great video, lived in Oz for a year. Kalgoorlie for 5 months, big gold town. He's fair dinkum forsure. Back home and this summer I'm doing some panning.
An excellent video with lots of good information. You can't help but feel inspired watching how you approach the subject while at the riverside. Many thanks for sharing your awesome skills. Liked and Subscribed.
Awesome content, total newbie here. Gonna be moving to a farm with a small creek that occasionally gets heavy rainwater running through it, seems like the best place to start practicing. Your video helps a ton and is fun to watch for one. I'm gonna be aiming to make my own jewelry and didnt even consider the gemstones you could find. That mat is awesome btw
Love your content thanks! Where are you in Australia? Also could there be gold in the Blue Mountains NSW? Bit of a silly question maybe please forgive my ignorance.. Cheers.
Love the videos, just discovered your channel after a weekend panning with the kids on the Shoalhaven river NSW. Only 10 little flecks but great fun out in nature. Love your vids, great editing and cinematography mixed with super helpful Gold info. Subscription earned!
Most newbies don't understand its hard work. Only a few come back for another day. LOL Not many have gold like you do. Good for you!! Ya have to love the hunt. Great video as always. Thanks.
@@-meganeura That's why I love you tube, sucking up all the knowledge I can. Thanks for all the great videos everyone. I am working on getting some up on my channel soon.
Hey Dude, awesome. Great to see an Aussie on here. Really well explained. Thanks. I'm very new to this, just starting out on this particular journey and appreciate your clear teaching. Just found you and subbed. Will make sure I watch all your content in the coming week while it's so hot. Stay cool and happy and prosperous prospecting to you. From the Aussie Aunty on the NSW/VIC border. Thanks again :-)
This is awesome man! You are the only gold prospecting channel i truly enjoyed watching. Thanks for the good information. Will definitely do better test pans next time i'm out at the creek.
Nice presentation. People may not realize that YOU have to become the expert on the area you're working. What works in one location may not hold true..even for a different river or stream. It takes time. Cold greetings from Massachusetts
On the west coast of the states and we’ve had some monster storms the last couple of weeks. Can’t wait til early summer(post floods) to get back on my favorite river. Nice color Chris and thanks again for sharing your wisdom.
Hi there. Love watching your videos, particularly the tutorial aspect. My family (hubs, 2 kids under 10) and I have caught the bug and are still very, very green. So I was wondering if you could suggest a few places to go around the north east and also central (Vic). That's for your time and keep making your awesome videos 😊
Thank you for such a great video my friend!! I wanted to try to start hunting with my wife (she’s incredible!!) here in Texas, and your videos are always amazing..as are you and your mates! Cheers from Abilene, TX!!
😅 I'm going to try panning I think theres some gold in California. I could be wrong but I'm going to check. ....... 😉 just being sarcastic . Lol thanks Chris weathers looking nice there! Theres been a bit of rain lately here. But ..... that rain helped me pull a half pennyweight nugget this weekend. So I cant complain anyways cheers and heavy Pans with zero yellow rocks!
When you say "AWESOME" I can't help but think of that Bill Bailey bit where he's talking about Australian/NZ optimism. How y'all say you're doing awesome and genuinely mean it. "What are you doing tomorrow? Just gonna be pickin up stones in the rain, it's gonna be awesome!!!"
Some of these comments on here are ridiculous. Unless you have gold fever, you won't understand. I've never been gold prospecting, but I've bought and sold some on Ebay several years ago and I still have the fever. One of these days, I hope to be in a position to do what these guys are doing. How awesome it would be to enjoy nature and find gold at the same time!?!?!?
Hi Stuart,got some 15 litre paint buckets if you want ideal for classifiers,have you had a chance to use the high banker yet?. Got the go ahead with alluvial lease 😊 I'll have to get it back for some sampling,I'll give you the heads up when getting closer.cheers Craig
Only had it out once and not for long. Last couple of month haven't gone to plane. Cool news about your lease though. I tried to get some sense out of ER re my shaft and got nothing useful except maybe I don't need a lease and can just rely on my miners right.
Hello from Edmonton Alberta Canada. Another great video Chris, very helpful. Yes spring is coming and I'm getting excited and ready with some DIY gear. Unfortunately Alberta isn't known for nuggets but we do have flour gold for those willing to do the testing and finding that paystreak. So far I've built a multi stage classifier-condenser-saruca out of buckets and looking forward to testing.
i have a 8 inch wide gold rat sluice, dream matt and that i fitted a home made highbanker to it , i put through about 100 plus shovels through it before i clean up . is that to many , whats your thoughts i run a bucket at end of sluice to catch the sands etc even thou the bucket overflows my thought that gold would sink in the bucket ??, and pan it out as well seam ti find 2 or 3 flat specs in it , the other day i was out found 4 or 5 nice flaky pieces in the bucket, whats your thoughts mate
Well here my lad, You can come to the UK and specifically South Western Wales - Pembrokeshire. We have the Preselli hills, which as far as I can see, are blue clay, but I've never been up there as I don't drive (I've never got round to being not nervous enough to pass my test, despite being a better driver than most of the people I've had in the back seat). If you came to to the UK and my area, I could pick you up from Milford Haven train Station and have you stay at mine. Free of charge. The airport you'd be flying into would be Cardiff airport, most likely from Somewhere regarding London (Heathrow/Standsteadetc). There's a shuttlebus to the train station, where you'd change at Swansea, or Carnarthen. I'd be happy to pick you up from Carmarthen/Swansea. Then you can distinguish between the gold and yellow rocks in Pembrokeshire. I'd love for you to come over here and even just chill out for a bit. BTW, I'm a Northern Irish lass and there's just something about Pembs that draws me back here (I lived in Pembroke Dock for 3.5yrs, before we moved back to Northern Ireland for 11yrs, and moved back here). There's no reason to worry about driving as we drive on the same side as you do in Australia (on the left-hand side). Just to say that you can stay with us and come and go as you please. If you're going gold panning, I hope you'll invite me with you (I'll have the dogs out beforehand, or they can come out with us up the Preselli's).
i live in gold country and i take my land rover out on these crazy dirt roads when im bored and ive found some really remote creeks by former mining towns. this seems like a good way to get value out of areas that rarely ever get foot traffic. id just be afraid of bigfoot
Hi Chris another great informative video mate thanks for posting, the more times i watch the same sought of thing the more your info sinks in keep up the great work and keep these awsome vids flowing please its much appreciated mate 🤠🤠🤠✌️
Good Going Chris! I've just started watching your videos and have noticed the struggle you have with the the black sand separation process. I'll Agee its easy to accumulate the gold in the black sand. I'd like to make a point about how we always arrive at two basic elements in the pan. At this point do you separate the sand from the gold or do you separate the gold from the sand ? I'm sure you know the specific gravity of each. Something I've learned over the years is that when you get to the two in your pan it's time to steer the gold, not the sand. Gold will walk up a very steep hill compared to sand. I would like to show you a paning method that makes the fear of black sand a fun challenge. Cheers!
That was AWSOME Chris a great lesson What a top looking creek too You could see the water mark in the trees Nice deposits of Mr Yellow mellow Keep safe love your work Cheers Crouch
Never panned before. Wanting to get started. Even your sarcasm in the beginning gets it. Lot of other videos I've watched don't cover the simplest basics that you just did. "Here's the gold, pan it out". That's their basic explanation. Where'd you get your sloush box? (Yeah I probably misspelled that, lol). Like your sense of humor. Keep it up.
Thank You, went panning for the first time of my life yesterday only for 2 hours, didn’t find gold, but I have a great time. I find probably one of the good reason why in your video (and I watch others) - The hint was to find a place with a concentration of big rocks and gravel together. I wonder if you have a concentration of bigger rocks if you can find bigger gold between? Need to experiment and learn, I Love it!
Took my very first sample ever, which basically just meant shoveling 3 scoops of gravel and dirt into my bag and washing it at home. I did *not* expect to actually find anything. First ever pan, first ever spec of gold. Hooked.

The airport you'd be flying into would be Cardiff airport, most likely from Somewhere regarding London (Heathrow/Standsteadetc). There's a shuttlebus to the train station, where you'd change at Swansea, or Carnarthen. I'd be happy to pick you up from Carmarthen/Swansea. Then you can distinguish between the gold and yellow rocks in Pembrokeshire. I'd love for you to come over here and even just chill out for a bit.
BTW, I'm a Northern Irish lass and there's just something about Pembs that draws me back here (I lived in Pembroke Dock for 3.5yrs, before we moved back to Northern Ireland for 11yrs, and moved back here).
There's no reason to worry about driving as we drive on the same side as you do in Australia (on the left-hand side). Just to say that you can stay with us and come and go as you please. If you're going gold panning, I hope you'll invite me with you (I'll have the dogs out beforehand, or they can come out with us up the Preselli's).
Great instruction. Thanks for the video!
i live in gold country and i take my land rover out on these crazy dirt roads when im bored and ive found some really remote creeks by former mining towns. this seems like a good way to get value out of areas that rarely ever get foot traffic. id just be afraid of bigfoot
Wow very informative experience

Great video! I’m in the Grampians next week, I’d love to give gold panning a go
You should!
Had to rewatch to refresh myself...love these videos mate!!
I have to agree...I’ve learned most of what I know from Chris. I think I do pretty well...check my channel if ya want to see 🙃
I don’t have any crevice tools as of yet, am still learning how to find good places to find gold… there’s plenty of places for crevices
I want my money back, i didn't find any gold and i dug right where you dug, right in the same hole and all! SCAM!
Congrats on the views brother⚒⚒👍👍
Thanks 👍
From piedmont nc thanks for the refresher
Good Going Chris! I've just started watching your videos and have noticed the struggle you have with the the black sand separation process. I'll Agee its easy to accumulate the gold in the black sand. I'd like to make a point about how we always arrive at two basic elements in the pan. At this point do you separate the sand from the gold or do you separate the gold from the sand ? I'm sure you know the specific gravity of each. Something I've learned over the years is that when you get to the two in your pan it's time to steer the gold, not the sand. Gold will walk up a very steep hill compared to sand. I would like to show you a paning method that makes the fear of black sand a fun challenge. Cheers!
That was AWSOME Chris a great lesson
What a top looking creek too
You could see the water mark in the trees
Nice deposits of Mr Yellow mellow
Keep safe love your work

Never panned before. Wanting to get started. Even your sarcasm in the beginning gets it. Lot of other videos I've watched don't cover the simplest basics that you just did.
"Here's the gold, pan it out". That's their basic explanation.
Where'd you get your sloush box? (Yeah I probably misspelled that, lol). Like your sense of humor.
Keep it up.
Great video mate
Thank you
Thank You, went panning for the first time of my life yesterday only for 2 hours, didn’t find gold, but I have a great time. I find probably one of the good reason why in your video (and I watch others) - The hint was to find a place with a concentration of big rocks and gravel together. I wonder if you have a concentration of bigger rocks if you can find bigger gold between? Need to experiment and learn, I Love it!
Your not giving away secrets your giving away knowledge
Took my very first sample ever, which basically just meant shoveling 3 scoops of gravel and dirt into my bag and washing it at home. I did *not* expect to actually find anything. First ever pan, first ever spec of gold. Hooked.
