You are surrounded by fallen trees but the government say your fire has to be made of wood from Bunnings. What kind of joke world do we live in nowadays.
I get gold fever more and more each time I watch your videos 😆. And I already have the fever 🤣. Absolutely amazing Levi. There is no place I would rather be than under the water sniping.
After going dredging for the first time last week, I have a whole new level of appreciation the hard work you do, Levi. That time in the water, cold water, and moving all those cobbles by hand can really wear you out. Not to mention the long treks through dense forest and steep terrain carrying your camp and firewood, too (just unbelievable).
Hey, Rob. Since you have to carry your wood in. Check out the design for a rocket stove. They use a small amount of wood and can radiate a lot of heat. I've seen them made out of food tins. As small as baked bean or as big as commercial size for pineapple.
G'day Levi! Awesome Trek into the WILD TASSIE!!! Priceless Paystreak that your on again. Bowling Pin for sure... the seal looks like a old school bottle opener, but flipped over looks like a boxing glove. Congrats to the winners of the GAW, that is some Sweet Shiny. What's the world coming to when you can't even use the old, dead, dried up wood to start a fire in the Wild!!! Just RIDICULOUS.... No I'll call it like it is BULLSHIT!!!! AWESOME ADVENTURE LEVI, Keep at it... Your right about the source, keep scratching!!!!
i always enjoy your videos. thank you for sharing them. I find the music takes me out of the experience of you looking for the gold tho, the ASMR nature of you scratching around with the sound of the water is actually one of the reasons i watch the videos. thanks again, your videos are appreciated.
Levi, the dedication you have in sniping is absolutely commendable! All the hard work you put in makes me tired for you and makes me want to take a nap just watching all the hard work you do in sniping for gold! Your videos are the best! Keep on sniping, and I'll catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
Another excellent video Levi as always. I find it totally ridiculous that you have to carry in firewood as obviously there isn't effort lying around waiting for a bushfire. That department needs a 👢 up their arses for not letting you use the dead wood
Hiya Levi, awesome video mate your videos are getting better all the time. The music is great and the gold is fabulous mate, I wish I could send you some of the summer heat we're having to warm you up. I hope you have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Congrats on 200,000 subscribers. Shows you are doing something most of us cannot do. The ability to warm yourself and your food is a basic human right.
I think because I do this myself here in central NSW your videos make me feel so relaxed because thats how I feel when I’m out in the creek. I hang out for every video you make new or old so thanks a heap Levi. 👍🏽
your videos are so fascinating lately because you get to see how that gold remains trapped in that quartz just waiting to finally be released from captivity all that time go back to the formation of it. Just love it.
@@officialtassieboysprospecting You find some pretty cool pieces. I sniped alot when I was younger. Strangest shaped nugget I found looked just like a pile of dog poo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the videos. Respect so much the work. Just getting in and out is a major achievement. Thanks for bringing us along. Being from Tassie it is nostalgic for me.
Love how you show all the hard work it takes just to get down to the bedrock . Looks like a huge mud crab 🦀 claw… or crescent wrench… yes a bowling 🎳 pin.
Loved every second of this! I’d say that one piece looked like s boxing glove or maybe s crab claw. I think we around the world should fire all politicians and just start fresh. Can’t start a fire without bringing in your own wood to s forest! Fire the lot of em! Ugh. Love all your videos Levi, thank you for letting us come with you!
Gravity dredge?May be a little difficult to carry a bunch of 6m pvc pipes down in there but I feel you don’t mind a challenge every now and then! Fantastic video mate!!👍👍
Awsome, that is nice nuggets, the old timers in America would say gold rides a iron horse or gold where's a iron hat, you are on to where it is just got to find what part of the vein it's in, the Cary your own wood ! Lol. Great video , great place for your office, beautiful place A hot mix of minerals ( in liquid form )and gold, silver, copper all come up in solution and fill the gaps and depends what kind of rock. I saw box quarts in one of your videos (quarts surrounded by mineralization looked real promising.
What you’re describing as ironstone encrusted gold is actually the sulphides that the gold was associated with when the quartz containing both solidified in the vein between the surrounding granite. What you often describe as “fine clay”that you scrape away with your hook tool, is also decayed sulphides. The sulphides and gold are contained within the molten quartz, and the molten granite lava flow. The Granite solidifies first, and that leaves the liquid quartz and sulphides & gold to solidify last as a “gold containing quartz vein”. Lots of non gold bearing quartz solidifies without the sulphides & gold and forms just a quartz vein. The brachiated (crumbling / decomposing) quartz vein underwater that your working with your hook tool, happens to be a gold & sulphide rich quartz seam / vein. If you were mining underground, that’s a paying quartz vein that you would be looking for to remove & crush to release the gold. There’s probably a lot of fine “flour gold” within all that decomposing quartz that your scraping out the way to find the pickers. That quartz seam is your source of the gold. The gold doesn’t get “trapped” in the decaying quartz as it’s being swept down the river from some other “mystery source” somewhere upstream. You’re actually on the source, you just don’t seem to realise it. Quartz veins like that can pinch out, as your following them, and re-appear further along, and the mining activity on the hillsides above where your working in the river, likely found the same quartz vein containing gold. Back then they wouldn’t have had wet suits and masks & snorkels to follow the vein underwater below the river. It’s a gold rich source. If there’s any way you can collect that quartz & crush it to powder & pan it out and test it for fine flour gold you might be surprised how much is there that your not seeing with sniping techniques. There’s a saying in fishing that applies equally to gold prospecting. “You don’t leave fish to go find fish” (because the fish activity will attract more fish to where you are if you keep fishing that spot). Same with Gold. You don’t leave gold to find more gold. You have located a source at a spot where historically a source was located previously and mined. You’re just getting what the old timers had no easy way to get back then. Now you need to figure a way to extract all that quartz so you can crush it fine & extract the flour gold contained within it. Keep up the good work. Winter does suck for river sniping. Now if you just knew a river in the sub-tropics that contains gold to snipe where the waters warmer while Tassie waters are high & freezing. I do know of such a spot, however there’s a slight risk because occasionally a crocodile takes up residence in the river as bigger males kick them out of their territory further north in the Kimberly’s. The crocs were shot out of this area back in the 1970’s but since they were protected they are slowly trying to spread south again to their old range. Are you game to have a go & take the risk? 😜😂😂
That’s all good till I tell you that quartz is petrified tree sap. Provably. 😂 Also he did crush some of that sap in the last vid and found some flakes but wasn’t set up to do much more. Let me know when u wanna argue abt tree sap and I’ll try to figure a way to give u some links that TH-cam makes it nearly impossible to share. Daggum censorship.
You see a seal i saw a sheep😁😁 well-done Levi beautiful gold you've found yet again,i would physicaly have a seizure if i had to put a wet&cold wet suit on in the woods😲you deserve every little bit of shiny you find👋thanks for taking us along congratulations to the patron's some tassie gold coming to the UK🇬🇧🥳✨
Superb upload as usual. Thanks Levi. You've inspired me to start investing in gold. I've purchased 20 ounces since subscribing to your channel & it's doubled in value.
Scandinavian style with campfires is alot of stones around the fire..for keeping the heat even if the fire burns down the stones are hot a long time happy to been born in a Scandinavian country where u have a total freedom to camp and roam around,,even on private land as long u show utter and most resect for the land and nature and leave the place better than u found it..
Outstanding outing. Btw…observation. You’re getting the gold that’s on the surfaces of gold bearing rock. That rock (primarily quartz) contains gold also. Were that rock be on surface miners would be “hard-rock” mining it to get the gold contained within. I suggest taking a chisel & hammer underwater and fracturing the bedrock prospecting deep within the rock. Thanks.
Been watching these awesome videos for a good while now! just got back from a backpacking trip in SC along the Chattooga river and I know there is gold in there to be found like you go about it. think i may give it a go next time! Love the content Capt!
Ive literally dreamed about finding deposits that fill my sluice box with gold... but this is real, and its just incredible. Love you Levi, i hope you find the source🤙
Damn that big nugget you snagged out of those quartz teeth and how big it didn’t look until you pulled it out. Yeah frigging enjoyed that moment with ya!
Top Job Levi. Your courage and discipline paid off again on this trip. Mate, you earn every bit of gold and good fortune that comes your way. Love the information on the gear you use, clothes, boots etc. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
That little unsure nugget looks like a boxing glove 🥊
I thought Lobster claw..lol
i thought the same..boxing glove
It’s a good day when Levi posts a video
You are surrounded by fallen trees but the government say your fire has to be made of wood from Bunnings. What kind of joke world do we live in nowadays.
Ain’t that the truth!!
Yup. It’s sad.
Yeah but those fallen trees are a whole ecosystem that help to support the whole forest. They decompose and give us fungi friends too.
The ashes from the 🔥 goes into the ecosystem faster and actually help promote new growth.
Trust the science 🙄
I get gold fever more and more each time I watch your videos 😆. And I already have the fever 🤣. Absolutely amazing Levi. There is no place I would rather be than under the water sniping.
It’s an amazing world under there 👍🏼

It takes a certain type of crazy 🤪 😉
@@officialtassieboysprospecting
Known as ‘Gold Fever’. 👍🏻🙏🦘
I'm that type of crazy. I keep going out but keep coming back skunked. Any suggestions?
The snuffer and yabby pump is as close to dredging we'll ever get. Great episode enjoyed that. Cheers.
Another awesome adventure. Thank you for taking me along.

Yeah, it might be a bit heavy but you can hide it around there instead of hiking all the time!

The 'seal' from the front is a grabbing hand - a symbol for your grabbing the gold 😊
You are on a good patch again. That is a rich looking reef. Great to see...!
Productive trip. Thanks for taking me along
Good morning Levi. Thanks for taking us along with you!
Hiya Levi, awesome video mate your videos are getting better all the time.
The music is great and the gold is fabulous mate, I wish I could send you some of the summer heat we're having to warm you up. I hope you have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya!
😺🐟 out!
It looks like a chicken drum stick and a boxing gloves 👌well done buddy
Rob, you have to rip out some quarts rock inside the rivers and crush them to see what you can get out of them
Congrats on 200,000 subscribers. Shows you are doing something most of us cannot do. The ability to warm yourself and your food is a basic human right.
Pretty special way of life legend.
No joy in putting that cold wetsuit on, though. Brrrrr.
*The seal piece looks like a boxing glove to me.

Is it just me that really enjoys the sound of the gold going down the snuffer tube? 😊😊
I love watching your videos, you are a true master at it! The one piece looks like a hand and the other looks like a bowling pin. Awesome. Thanks Ray
Great video Levi, love the journey as much as the gold collecting. That river scenery is wonderous.
I can’t even imagine the effort to produce such a classy video . Thank you
Great video and adventure again Levi ,im liking the bit like a polar bear 🐻❄️ 🪙🥇
A man is born with the desire to dig into crevices, but Levi takes it to a whole new level 😂😂❤❤
Watching from Philippines ❤❤❤
I enjoy the "plink" sound they make going into the snuffer bottle.
definitely a boxing glove! thx heaps. keep well
Man! The stuff of dreams. That quartz is heavily altered. Most definitely want to see what's in it. Great show!
I wish I was with you!!!!!!! Great for you, it must be fun and rewarding, to be in the great outdoors alone with your thoughts.
The seal looking piece, looks like a boxing glove to me.
That was my first thought as well. A skinny boxing glove.
It’s crazy I never spotted it as a boxing glove immediately 🤯
@@officialtassieboysprospecting You find some pretty cool pieces. I sniped alot when I was younger. Strangest shaped nugget I found looked just like a pile of dog poo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent post as always Levi, thanks for sharing it was so much fun, and well done.
Fantastic footage! The "seal" looks like a boxing glove or lobster claw!
Great hard work again mate 👍
Good one Levi, great results and much hard work in cold water. Thanks for sharing !
Love how you show all the hard work it takes just to get down to the bedrock .
Looks like a huge mud crab 🦀 claw… or crescent wrench… yes a bowling 🎳 pin.
Love to see it mate, you push through a decent amount pain, saw that cut early on and the blisters on your palms at the end there, solid effort
Loved every second of this! I’d say that one piece looked like s boxing glove or maybe s crab claw. I think we around the world should fire all politicians and just start fresh. Can’t start a fire without bringing in your own wood to s forest! Fire the lot of em! Ugh. Love all your videos Levi, thank you for letting us come with you!
Thanks for another wonderful trip to the river. Much love from Tennessee❤
Been waiting for you Levi 😂
Gravity dredge?May be a little difficult to carry a bunch of 6m pvc pipes down in there but I feel you don’t mind a challenge every now and then! Fantastic video mate!!👍👍
Yes, that's most enjoyable, those unrepeateable shapes . Wishing good luck, George
I love it when you’re finding $100.00 a minute.
Another top notch adventure Levi, the seal nugget to me looks like a boxing glove, and the other one looks like a gold logie
I think that "seal" piece looks like a crab claw. God trip Levi.
Ah, those were the days! So much fun we had! Still living through you!❤️❤️❤️
Another relaxing video, but hearing you say how cold it is, makes me happy I’m on this side of the video. It’s like 100 here today 🥵
Nice finds , "the seal" looks like a boxing glove to me 🥊
Awsome, that is nice nuggets, the old timers in America would say gold rides a iron horse or gold where's a iron hat, you are on to where it is just got to find what part of the vein it's in, the Cary your own wood ! Lol. Great video , great place for your office, beautiful place

Not a bad haul Levi better than a poke in the eye with a pointy stick.And lets face it any time spent in the bush is as good as gold .
Good job mate
