    Hello there friend :) just got to say thank you from British Columbia Canada living in the Kamloops area and after watching your videos I finally got out of the house been battling depression and anxiety most of my life and you have been a huge inspiration on getting back out and doing the things I forgot I love doing :) climbed a mountain to take some samples and spent most of my summer down at the river and creeks thank you my friend for being you!!! And give a big belly rub for the pups haha :)

    I didn't think Fern would be such a cruel branch manager. Wipping poor Gadzie because he wasn't working as hard as she thought he should work. On the other hand, she looked really cute doing it. Smiling Boxers are the best Boxers.

  • @brianbaughman9486
    @brianbaughman9486 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Very good video
    What I like most is how you explain everything about what your doing and why, and when it doesn’t come up as planed, you admit it and post it anyway.

  • @paulthebaker

    I love the fact that you're turning you're hand to melting and pouring your own gold I can't wait for the day that you have enough little buttons to melt enough to cast a little bar and fill that mold. Much love and respect 🙏 from Ireland 🇮🇪

    Chris, this video format is absolutely fantastic! One week of adventures across different gold fields and different geological areas. I wish that I could go prospecting as much as you do, although I still feel lucky enough to be able to go once a month or so. You must be exhausted!
    Thanks again!

    • @TreeManBen
      @TreeManBen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gold paydirt bags can be SUPER easy fun if you don't live in a gold zone. Look for ones that offer a guaranteed minimum amount of gold. Chris, Pauly, Dan Hurd, Klesh all have great value added paydirt with guaranteed ROI. I once bought several bags and got a BONUS BAG with over a gram inside a guaranteed 0.5gram bag! Do fun to reveal some shiny bits for no work!

    • @IndustrialVampire
      @IndustrialVampire 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I live in Ohio as well. There is lots of fine "fly poop" gold all over the mid and western side of the state (the glacial till side). Even some small pickers. With a dredge you can pull 1 gram days easily.

  • @alimclean686

  • @rodneymiddleton1044
    @rodneymiddleton1044 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    thanks Chris, Gadzee & Fern for another educational & entertaining video. So these sand dumps sound interesting where the ore was crushed one could imagine that there is quite a few of these left over from the gold rush days. It was also interesting to see and for you to tell us the colour variation of these spots too with the gold you found. Have a great week and give Ferny a scratch behind the ears mate.

  • @shannonreddaway1803

    I've been panning for 3 years now and I rarely get anything but I recently found a spot where I pulled out of 100 pieces in 1 pan and 9 of pieces over .10 it was so exhilarating and helped me remember why I love prospecting so much!

    I live in Florida, U.S.A. as far as I know we don't have gold here, but I truly enjoy your prospecting journeys. Both you and your friend are so intelligent and have such fun together it makes dull rainy days much better. Thank you and I have subscribed and liked each video.
