Beautiful gold, what a thrill. After 4 years of panning (no detecting) I still haven't found a nugget. Biggest piece ever is a coarse, flat picker that weighs 0.4 grams. Can't wait for the moment when my first nugget reveals itself in the pan. We're moving to an area with coarse gold, so a nugget will be happening in the near future.
@@getdownanddirtyprospecting whats the biggest nugget you've seen? my mate took one out of the northern Pilbara went 7.9 Kg solid gold out of a caprock divot
What a cracka day Glenn, great haul and a very nice nugget indeed. Well done to you all👍👍👍Your absolutely right in the approach to cleaning up. I believe if you can carry it there then carry it home!! Its in all our best interests to keep the bush better than when we found it. Keep up the good work!!!!
We did some panning for the first time ever with friends in Hill End today. Loved finding this video and many of your other ones this evening - we are hooked! Love your work, putting in the hard yards is worth it 😎 that’s prospecting! Looking forward to the next video and may catch you out there one day 👍🏻- Mitch and Larn
What a huge nugget. I'd like to get my hands on something like that. It is a point of honor for prospectors to take the rubbish with them. And you were rewarded. Well done Glenno 🤠🇩🇪👍🍻
Wow, that should make any day, looks really cool too. Cleaning up the river you got some good karma gold too, impressive! You can find the source... Prospect it out! Noticed the pictures right away, very cool, Great video
@@getdownanddirtyprospecting That is awesome. You might have to jump out of the creek and start working up the slope, where you are might be where the gold is feeding into the creek, especially if the gold is rough and not to worn.
Wow Glen you've done it again. Beautiful gold and doesn't look like it's travelled far as you say. That spot just keeps on producing. Well deserved mate. And great job picking up the rubbish. Pity more people aren't as respectful towards nature as you are. I spent the whole of last fortnight trekking along my home beaches each day before work filling garbage bags full of plastic rubbish washed up after the floods. Called the EPA last week to ask if they could help collect the heavy bulky stuff I'd piled up and they were extremely unhelpful and rude. These govt departments are nothing more than a farsical front with no true regard for nature stewardship. Keep up the great work Glen. Always really enjoy your productions 👍
Two things: 1: me screaming at the TV, "ABOUT A GRAM? MATE, THAT'S GOTTA BE CLOSE TO TWO!" 🤣 2: love that some muppet's rubbish became an accidental sluice and paid you for picking it up.
Well done Glen! I enjoy watching your videos. I’m new to prospecting so watching your videos has helped me. I am from Mudgee so I have been trying the Meroo river with a little bit of success. I might have to try the Turon or hill end soon. All the best
I remember getting some good gold on the Meroo river from the turn-off following the river west it was about halfway down near a house .I was told about a long running creek near Mudgee that is good that I have not tried I will have to look up the name
I think that’s where I have been going… house on the right hand side coming from Mudgee, turn left at the house and in through a gate. I just got back from a morning prospect and got a nice 0.27g specimen and another bit of quartz that looks to have a piece inside it. Not sure how to show photos of them. Are you on any forums I could post photos? Cheers
could it be possible that the deposit was laid down by an old channel flowing at a sharp angle to the creek you are now working? I'm sure the old timers would of changed the direction of the watercourse maybe very drastically. Still prickly as I could of travelled quite the distance balled up in clay. just a theory. love the content❤ from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@getdownanddirtyprospecting I'm a couple hrs from sofala maybe you can give me a few hints.. I did a video of my panning session an uploaded it a while back
Try loaming samples up the hill on the left hand side of the screen from the nugget clip... I get a feeling theres a hidden reef up the hill that is untouched... Cracking location mate. Good Luck & Happy Prospecting.
@@getdownanddirtyprospecting I would be chasing that mate... still go up the hill that was behind you in that clip, i know your not a mountian goat, but I would drag a detector up there to make sure theres no bench deposits up there even??? Maybe more likely a bench rather than reef. They all have shape to them so a reef is still a possibility... I look forward to seeing how you go and if you give it a crack. Cheers for sharing Glenno.
Hi. A mate and I (first-timers) have just been to Sofala twice in in the last few weeks and got a few very fine flakes about 500m downstream area. We are going back this weekend to have a look upstream or maybe Little Oaky area. I read that a lot of the area is inaccessible due to private land issues. Can you give us any advice on where it is safe to go (don’t wan’t to upset anyone, or get shot at)! I wasn’t sure if I just bought a map that it would be up to date and wonder if we are allowed to follow the river through private land if we we just stick to the riverbed? Raining this week so that may not be possible anyway I guess. Thanks for cleaning up after the litterbugs, will follow your example on that and take some bins with us. Subscribed a few weeks ago, enjoy your videos a lot. Cheers Colin
As long as u stay on the banks of rivers and creeks it’s all good the farmers don’t own rivers and creeks it’s just a little hard getting over barb wire lol lots of test pans and leg work will get u on good gold
That line of reefs stretches from south of the Turon, over Hawkins Hill, through Hill End and then all the way to East of Burrendong. The gold is all very similar, especially at H*******s. Looks just like that piece you panned, almost crystalline. I have panned half gram bits at Ration point, but nothing like that. Hope its not another 50 yrs until your next one mate 👍
Found a great spot there on the creek at H……..s I panned 2 nice nugs and then they dropped the old creek bridge on my spot now all silted up with these long reeds
@@getdownanddirtyprospecting there was a local there they used to call the human backhoe lol. He dug some super trenches along the creek, but never found much. All the ground behind the shops and around the tip was surfaced down to the shale. Was super rich. East across to Boiga and pyramul is great country. A mate got a 40 oz virgin patch there years ago, was shedding from an ironstone stringer adjacent to the main lines. The old boys missed it.
Awesome nugget and fines. Can't remember of you said in the past but have you loamed up the banks at the cut out point for a reef ? You did say that there was rough bits in one spot .
I think a lot of the coarse gold is shedding out of Palmer's Oakey creek. That stretch has always yielded good sized coarse gold like your bigger pieces.
I have tried Big Oaky Little Oaky and many other creeks and gully's in the area but still have not tried Palmers Oaky maybe someday I will its a super long creek though
If your in Hill End or Sofala and in the creeks u have to get on bedrock or clay no good just playing in the gravel that can work in the Turon river for flood gold but test pans are the only go anywhere
Wow what a pan Glenn yeeehaarrrr Bloody ripper mate Yea pity you did not have the camera on ya misses lol lol Yes always take some or all the rubbish back out that u find peeps I do it all the time I even went to Cape York cleaned up 2 kilometres of beach we got 2-1/2 tones in 4 days Cost me $1000 to do it but worth it Check my vid on it Cheers 🍻 Glenn’s CrouchOz
I’m down Forster way on the MidNorth Coast NSW so Sofala is about 5 hrs and Gold Coast about 6 hrs drive but wanted to try that area one day maybe in the cooler months but didn’t think is was that good there
Its not un commen to get a 2- 6 grm nug out of the creek im working im in kennilworth....lovely little town n has one of the only waterways that run north witch is a bit difrent from conindail - killkevan back east to gimpy has produced a decent amount of gold in the past and im still finding it out hear wats your email ill send you a cupple of photos

Yes it was a great day panning Glenn and yes it was so exciting to see you pan the nugget 😊
I'm glad u had a break to watch me pan that one 😎👍
Hi Glen, enjoyed my biggest day panning ever today. 2.8 grams with a 0.28 gram nugget. I have learnt so much from your videos. Thank you.

Pretty good character on that piece Glenn. Congrats on the Gold! Good job grabbing some rubbish on the way out, we do the same. All the best!
Great good on u Tincup its so easy to grab it and bin it
Wow, that should make any day, looks really cool too. Cleaning up the river you got some good karma gold too, impressive! You can find the source... Prospect it out! Noticed the pictures right away, very cool, Great video

@@getdownanddirtyprospecting I bet haha, what a feeling
Wow what a great day and a sweet nugget, thanks for sharing.

Get down and dirty prospecting on fb
That gold nugget on your T-shirt is nice and resembles a human body part
The Koala Nugget is a big detected nugget and on that patch in NSW I have found over 100 and that one the biggest
That's so good I had to watch it twice. Awesome nuggy, looks like a butterfly
Thanks Matt u don't get to many nuggets that big panning lol👍😎
@@getdownanddirtyprospecting I wish I even got that .1 in a single pan. Let alone a nugget like that! Awesome work!

@@getdownanddirtyprospecting let's hope 🤞
Hell yeh what a slug! Just under 2g. That is more then a season for me :P Keep it up, you are on a good spot

Where Matt got his nuggets and pickers the area is about 2 feet and about it was some quartz veins so I will take some home next time

Yeah dead right mate. Yalwal is in qld. So anyone thinking its not. Well listen to this fella ! Expert 😂
Not quite sure of comment but would love to find some Boulder opal lol
Vogus Prospecting would be foaming at the mouth if he was to find such a great amount.
Thanks he is great at what he does and it’s not always the amount of gold that counts but I do like getting heaps lol 😆
Yalwal's at the Shoalhaven headwaters, Hillgrove is still an active mine north of Armidale.
