How much gold did the old-timers leave behind?

- In this video i set out on an adventure to find how much gold the old-timers may have missed in the old gold fields of Corinna Tasmania. I retrace the steps of the old timer and prospector of the 1800s Tom Moore to see if i can find a bounty worth all the cold hard grueling work it is to search for this gold.
The remoteness of the area the steep valleys and the darkness of the tanin stained waters all challenge me in my efforts to find gold.
Join me on this adventure as i explore the history and the places of the miners of olden times.

That poem by Tom Moore is simply brilliant. Hard not to have great respect for the Old Timers and their plight for Gold.👍❤👍
Imagine.....150 yrs ago... No maps, no GPS, no monster. No wet suite. Generally no idea. Just courageous!.. Fantastic video.
I’m learning they were all geologists and they use more methods than a pick axe and shovel that we often relate them too
They were incredible people mate tough as the steel they quite often worked with 👍🏼👍🏼 thanks for tuning in mate
Lots of Thylacines though.
bloody brilliant mate your vid production just keeps getting better and better... love the intro and then how your swapping back and forth from prospecting to enjoying the surrounds... im im out prospecting here in vic i find myself getting lost looking at scapes, moss and fungus all the time... top stuff man... as soon as these borders open im coming over for a swim...
Cheers Ben thanks for that great to hear comments like that legend 👍🏼👍🏼
Oi don't talk about em like they're dead! I started watching this (listening) on my drive up the mountains last Friday. It took me this long to get a new phone and be able to finish it. That gold looks ancient, good job.
All the respect from a Prospector in the Rockies in Colorado! Same hard core outlook and extreme terrain! And the brass to go where they did so many years ago, honors them! And all the other non poser,glad I found you channel.
Awesome mate thanks for following the Rockies would love to get there one day
@@officialtassieboysprospecting well you are welcome anytime, alot of ghost town/ mines scattered. Plus quite a few gemstones, dream trip would to go protecting Australia,funny I wear a handmade Australian bush hat out here always.
Such amazing countryside you live in. Nice gold great video as usual. Thanks Levi.
Cheers Rick 👍🏼👌🏼
it is amazing to see you guys find gold just like that! ive only ever touched gold maybe a few times in my life!! good work
Love watching you hunt. Good history lesson. The forested area was thick. The creek and the forest scenes were beautiful. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Lana it’s a beautiful place to explore and chill out
LEVI YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN u r killing it since the ban got lifted. The beginning was a little slow and its always like that when ur ready to leave u start finding more gold lol. Those old timers were BEASTS back then not many tools just hard labour with their hands and pics and shovels. BTW ur doing a AWESOME job taking in the beautiful land around you the water coming off the mountains were AWESOME thanks LEVI
🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍
Cheers Clint yes takes me half a day to warm up or cool down 🥶 😂
cool vid, it s pretty crazy how tough the oldtimers were!and some nice gold!beautiful!
They truly were
The old timers didn't miss much, they read the lay of the land and had a method. It was a hard life, but you are correct Levi, they were as tough as steel. Thanks for bringing a bit of history, back to life.
Cheers Steve they cleaned up pretty good where they worked
Beautiful Levi, nice work !!!!
Nice video. Great music and scenery. Best of all, nice gold !
Great area, that gold sure is bloody shiny, thanks for the footage, loved it👍⛏🤘
Cheers big nuggs 👍🏼👍🏼
i love the waterfalls
Watching your vids makes me want to move to Tasmania 😍
Awesome Levi! Great video! Great gold!
Thanks again mate 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Worked at savage river twenty odd years ago, there were a few workers that prospected pretty hard.
I once found a dredge way up the Whyte river, i thought those blokes were mad.
cheers for putting it out there
Yes the rocky and whyte have been dredged for years now it’s crazy steep countryside down in there cheers for tuning in 👍🏼
@@officialtassieboysprospecting lmao I got lost out there one night at about 2am. I stumbled across a creek that I knew was in the area and it led me out
what I was doing out there at that time probably isn't a yarn for here lol.😁
Levi thanx 4 your dedicated determination iin going out. Rugged jagged country, oh so magnificent. The aerial shots are trully splendid. Thanx 4 the look. Troy
Enjoying your videos so much!
Some beautiful scenery!👧
Excellent gold, beautiful country. Thanks again, Levi....!
Awesome videos. Great content and your passion is very evident.
Thanks for that mate cheers
Loved the beginning format Levi! Keep it up and stay safe brother!
Thankyou mate 👌🏼
Great video and choreographing
You mentioned more vids on Facebook. Just curious. Anyone else here that’s not a fan of Facebook? Good video today and great looking gold!Cheers. 👍
uncletigger - I salute you sir.
We both have thick bush, but I guess Tasmania wIns for remoteness compared to Vancouver Island for the early explorers! Love how you added that story!
NICE VIDEO LEVI, ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR WORK WITH THE CAMERA AND DRONE AND EDITING. TIME WELL SPENT AND THANKS AGAIN.
Thanks Gordon it does take a fair bit of time and energy to produce these so I appreciate it
Thank you.
Andy
Great video!! Thank you for all the work you put into them !
Thanks Mary appreciate that 😊
Thanks for the video brother!
Beautiful place 🍃
Another one for the book, and very beautiful gold found there mate I love the color, so many cool gold colors. Thanks for the content, cheer's 👍 mate.
Thanks mate
What an incredible workout! Scenery that is second to none and a bit of shiny makes it all worth it! I absolutely love your channel bud
Thanks so much 👌🏼😊
Great video once again. Made my morning ! Cheers 🍻🇨🇦
Thanks mate
Great work on the video, nice to see you finding some gold for the effort your putting in, you sure are earning it.
Nice Job on the Video...looks great and was an enjoy to watch
Nice vid detecting and sniping adds to chance of more gold for sure
Thanks Levi still raining I see 👍 thanks for sharing Regards Sleepy
It’s been very wet and dark unfortunately makes the camera work very tricky and not much to look at
merhaba,video çekimlerin çok güzel.çalışmalarını çok başarılı buluyorum lütfen hız kesmeden devam et.seni tebrik ediyorum çok başarılı bi insansın 💛
Cool to watch, GM is certainly a well geared bit of gear.
Nice part of the world your in.
$150 makes it a bonus day out.
Yeh it’s a beautiful place for sure the gold is just a bonus like you say thanks for tuning in mate 👍🏼
Walking through that place was like walking where nobody had gone before, it almost looks prehistoric. I love the scenery and love it even more when you find some good gold, thanks Levi, appreciate the content and the bit of history as well!
Cheers mate yes she’s an old countryside been a longtime since a fires ever been through
Im so used to watching so many vids where after they find a target in the creeck with the monster they grab the shovel or bait pump, it still makes me giggle when you go face first into the water looking for the target
The gold is a bonus the scenery is amazing
Cheers
Another great video. Well done
5:50 ...walking thru my N.Ontario bamboo-infested parts of the forest, I'll pick up a good stick to push the brush out of my way...if it's really thick, you can lean on the stick for support at awkward angles...what I love most is trying to compass a straight line thru that stuff, taking new bearings every 20 feet...
Great Video!! keep up the awesome work!!
Awesome view
Very nice gold
Love watchin you get that Austin gold great video once again
As always great video!!
Love the gold prospecting history! I like to think the Thylacine are still roaming around out there somewhere.
Yeh me too thanks again 👌🏼👍🏼
I believe they are Phil.... quite a few years ago whilst in the Tassie bush I swear I very briefly saw one cross our path ahead. Larger than your normal dog, straight back w some stripes & long straight tail. ....
Harrys Family Farm Tasmania That’s awesome! I believe they’re still out there but It’s probably a good thing that they stay unseen. I’d hate to see what humanity would do to them if we had 100% proof that they were still around.
Great vid mate now your starting to get why I'm addicted to that place it's hard ,beautiful rich in history and makes u work for it good and proper to find out it's secrets .wicked in every way .goodonya mate cheers
Cheers Tazy yes it’s a mystical place a rich history and lots of fun to explore will have to tee up a trip with you guys when the weather warms up a bit and days get a bit longer 👍🏼👍🏼
@@officialtassieboysprospecting absolutely mate it's hard with the travel and limited daylight this time of year but never a bad day down there .look after yaself shags cheers
Another grate vid levi thanks for your time...
Cheers
Great video and some good finds! Hello from the Yukon!
Hey high the Yukon 👌🏼👌🏼
Hi Levi, love your videos, well done. We might run into each other some day as I go gold panning and exploring in western Tasmania, living in Zeehan. I so far only find tiny specks of gold but being out in the bush that counts.
That’s awesome I hope we meet keep up the goodwork you will find the chunks soon enough 👌🏼👍🏼
Thats good quality entertainment.
Thx 🙏🏼
Oh wow Levi, loved that vid.... love the history, editing & scenery! I’m sure I saw a Thylacine years ago in Tassie bush, just a quick glimpse as it crossed our path ahead, larger than your average dog, straight back w stripes & long straight tale. What a magnificent waterfall.... so glad you share places most of us will never get too! The old timers sure did it tough! Thanks so much, keep safe & warm!
Yes they did I do two days and nearly kills me they did weeks and months at a time
In a cruel twist of fate, they left behind old nails, tin food cans and various other metallic objects that would frustrate the heck out of future gold prospectors with metal detectors 🤣 theres no denying there fortitude, courage and dreams. I have a lot of respect for those brave men who sacrificed it all to make a better life for their families
Yes they were litter bugs 😁 but they certainly were amazing people 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video mate! You really put in the work for the good spots
I like exploring
Really enjoyed this video thank you
That looks like the gold round here💛✨👍 nice amount for the day. Well done.
great video. keep up the good work
Awesome finds, I bet their is a reef nearby. Based on the rough looking gold.
That water fall was epic bro! some beautiful country side for sure
wow what a day for some AU. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Unreal mate. Great bit of history Levi.
Beautiful scenery and gold. Yes very sad about the tigers... white man has done so much damage to nature although not always intentionally but great to see you appreciate it. Thanks for sharing 👍
Yeh we have a bit to answer for different times I guess but still shouldn’t have been that way
Top video again Levi. Thank you.
All around excellent footage and editing as usual, but your drone footage was spectacular, Levi.The rattling of the gold in your snuffer bottle drives me crazy (joking). Grats on the beautiful gold. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers mate
Olá pessoal lugares muito da hora parabéns meu amigo vc e bom mesmo só Gold 👍👍👍
Cool video...the Wobble pop is usually gold but that tin target fooled me too... Stay safe and find that glitter.
Yeh it’s tricks me every so often
East Indian Ocean. Great videos. Thanks
Really enjoyed the history levi
I’m enjoying the history more than the gold lately
Great history, film-making skills and of course the gold. Better than tv!
Often return home with only a lesson learned myself, great vid! And strangely no matter how far out one can go it seems one can always find something lost, left behind or forgotten.
Yes that is so true thanks for watching mate 👍🏼
Monster Madness, well done, thanks mate.
Yep..bloody good episode there Levi!!..nice shiny gold!!
Cheers Mal 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice sharp gold. Not been rolling around the river much
Nice reddish tint there
Yeh it’s nice deep orangey red
Awesome video Levi 👍🏻keep it up
That is some rough looking gold Levi great video mate keep up the good work 👊🏻🤠👍🏻
Thanks TAS you’ve been quiet on the video seen you must be pulling multi ounce nuggets to big to share
Tassie Boys Prospecting 👊🏻😂👍🏻 I wish mate I’ve just been working too much hopefully I might get out this weekend
Awsome matie
Thanks 🙏🏼
Another excellent video in beautiful gold what a fantastic location there also. I really appreciate the history and background stories. You're in Northern California there was a similar story but a different outcome. The pot grower went out with his three attacks trained German Shepherd guard dogs on his Plantation in Butte County and suddenly they began barking and then screaming one dog came back bleeding and screaming and the pot grower found the other two dogs Slade dead on the ground in less than 5 Seconds by the mountain lion Northern California 110 lb of predatory death so when that thing histone my face 10 times at night I learned my lesson
Brother looks like Tom cruise, and real adventure too
Awesome footage keep it up
What is that magnificent waterfall named? Wow!
Must of been hard for those old blokes to get a fire going, everything looks damp in those valleys.
Another quality product mate 🍺
Yeh I’ve tried a few fires in that stuff you end up with sore eyes and cold 🥶
Gotta love those so called tracks brings me back to my younger days of hiking. I can't say eating warms me up maybe i do to much of it :-). The monster does well when you get away from shot up rubbish areas so some nice gold mate. HH Brad
Yeh I need an upgrade on the detector I think I wanna work mullocks etc but will have to do for now until I can afford monster hasn’t paid itself off yet
You are a brave man. Hall many snakes stay so close whith you?? I apreciate your courage, whem you junping into the old anexploring rivers. Wooow! Be carefully mate!!👐👐👏👏👏
Levi,
You sure have chosen a beautiful place to live and play. Why is the creek/river water so brown or amber colored? Is there something in the rocks that make it that way?? Or something else.
Tanin from the button grass and vegetation in the area quite common on Tasmania’s west coast completely drinkable 👍🏼
Totally awesome footage , such Beautiful country . Looks a bit rough in the brush tho. Love the old timer photo and story’s keep them going. Do you ever do overnight camping in the field ? Take “Spaze” and your boys . See ya ✌️
Yes we are allowed to camp again now so I’ll be doing plenty of overnighters
Hey Levi do you ever do any panning? I know everyone has their own favorite ways to hunt the Au, I am more curious if panning is a viable method there, in California panning rivers is very viable method here. Although the biggest nugget I have ever found was quite by accident, I was crossing a river and a rock rolled on me and sent me into the drink. Fighting to keep the gear in my right hand from being lost I landed up a 100 meters down river, but when I got a grip and was able to pull myself to my feet, I looked down, and there right where my left hand was grasping the rock was a beautiful 24.81 gram nugget. I almost went for another swim because in haste to grab it I almost fell again. In all the time I have spent gold panning and crevicing, I have not found another nugget like that.
Hey Charles what an awesome story thanks for sharing yes I do a bit of panning every so often but I find I am a lot more successful when I snipe for the gold that would be insane finding a nugget that size well done 👌🏼
Tassie Boys Prospecting yes well after watching you, and when the rivers warm up a bit I am going to give sniping a try. Thanks for the videos I always enjoy seeing other find gold.
Nobody lives forever....keep doing what you do. Life is too short.
Yes I’m realizing my life’s gona be over before I see as much as I hope to see and do
GR8 result.
Nice take for the day.
Hope you get a 2 gram nugget net time out.
Me to thanks for tuning in
I want to come over, for three months. Shores of interests, fishing, work as a cook. :)
I’ve eaten a tassie tiger b4 👌very tasty .in between rabbit 🐇 and deer 🦌
Bit tough for my likings
Olá amigo , bom dia ! Aonde quer que você vá Deus te abençoe , para que nada aconteça com você.. adoro seus vídeos viu😘😘❤️
Another great vid mate, i got a monster too, so sensitive, i use it going through my tailings piles when i sluice, always find a few stray pickers
Yeh they are perfect for that and scouting bedrock not good at finding big deep gold though unfortunately 😖
Always a great day when hunting. It is a major pain, especially filming in and out of the water. Now throw a detector in the mix and makes for a long day. Hats off bud.
Cheers mate it’s a battle I can’t afford another camera just yet but I really need a second one to keep dry for a clean lense and audio that’s not clogged with water thanks for tuning in mate 👍🏼
Great video. Subscribed.
Thanks so much
Hi Levi,
Thanks for the video.
Those old boys did it tough.
Also you are tougher than me that would be too cold for this old fart.
Great gold
Dennis
It’s not bad once everything goes knumb 😁
