Chris, your enthusiasm is infectious. I love watching the joy you express everytime you find gold, regardless of how much. You and Gadzee make a great team. It is wonderful to see you guys winning. 🥰😁👍
Chris, at 6:00 what you're seeing is a redox front, where the orange material oxidised Fe in the clays and the black is reduced Fe. means it has been sitting there a very long time.
Absolutely gobsmacked by the gold congratulations, you and Gadzee deserve a find like that after all the work you boys do. Great chunks of tourmaline and quartz aswell
What a treat! I also offer my thanks to the property owner for allowing both of you to retrieve such stunning, beautiful gold! My jaw hit the floor at the amount. I would love to plop down on a rock midstream and just scoop up the material by the handfuls to pan. Those gorgeous rocks, are just the cherry on top! So glad to see you pumped up! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Gadzy's reaction to the crystal seemed very candid and impressed - I'm so used to him just being around for comic relief! ** his "one shovel" later on was even more impressive
I do it at houses in the city with my metal detector in my hand. I generally get enough permissions to keep me as busy as I want to be. I've gotten most of my silver that way. Gold comes from the beach.
i asked a sheriff if i could walk up his property for rocks. he was not amused. so i put his property as a "good spot to ask for permission" at a rock club. ha. saw 3 cars from the club in his turn around so it mustve worked LOL
Type up a flyer that looks official and explains what you do. Offer to show them what you find or see if they want to do it with you.@@jigglie8077 Have something ready to hand to them when they answer the door. That way after you leave even if they say no, they have a way to get ahold of you if they change their mind.
@ut000bs my town (of under 1,000) put new sidewalks in and repaved main street. Someone metal detected the dirt piles before they hauled them off, then again after they leveled it out where the new firehouse will be built. Found a lot of old coins. It was founded in the 1870s, the old concrete was probably from the 50s.
I love that you are getting this volume. I have almost an Oz from busting up quartz that you showed me how to find. The owner of the horse farm I work at was flabbergasted at his place having gold on it as his family owned it for over 100 years and he had no idea
I have been an avid gold prospector for lot of years, and have watched lots of people panning And it takes you so long to do a pan of gravel.i was very lucky to have met a man who taught me a better way to pan,and so simple,i have never seen it done on tely,or you tube ever.i think you need to see it to believe it. Regards mick.
I like the 'bro,' respect thing that let gadzeee drop the first vidz on this spot 💛. Both of you are amazing, awesome and inspirational ! Over the years of watching your channel it brings me hope that one day people might be interested in watching or listening about my own adventures. One million thanks 🙏
Prospectors in Feather River have Dredging permits but panners can go in as well. Most of the black sand is put in a 5 gal bucket and Gold removed gold later. GREAT FIND! I FOUND a Modoc Indian grinding stone in one creek.
Great video! What a beautiful place to spend the day, glad you found it. What a great bunch of gold! Thanks Gadzee for inviting Chris and thanks Chris for bringing us along for the fun and scenery!
Maaan, that wedge of banded jasper is gorgeous! I feel like at some point, having a gem "lathe" may be something worth it one day. Or a friend that has one. Basically a horizontal diamond abrasive plate with a water drip, and a little arm you glue the gem to so you can grind facets. Or in the example of that jasper - grind a perfect smooth flat surface to reveal the details on that one flat-ish side showing all the banding.
Can still remember sorting out the tin and black sand from the gold in my garage over 3 days that we'd got from Reedy Creek about 40 years ago. Was a great place to camp back then but for the time the creek rose about a metre and swamped the campsite.
Love seeing you blokes out on the creek. I just finished watching Gadzees video out on this creek and was very glad to see more of it on your channel. Cheers for the video mate
I lived in Magalia,CA for 14 years. In a canyon nearby a 58 pound gold nugget was found in the Feather River canyon in 1850s Gold rush Era. There was a Gold Nugget Parade, Queen and King and Clampers paraded as well, in memory of the event. The town of Paradise, originally called Pair 'o Dice, burnt down in 2018 due to PG&E NEGLECT. 89 people died, mostly elderly and disabled.
I'm so happy you found your passion again for this. It's great seeing the look on you and gadzy's face. Now that you found some place that actually pays out. It brings the joy back from your earlier videos. When you were finding what was great. Gold on reedy Creek Cheers.🎉🎉
If I find scoops like those @6:12 here in Georgia, I'm wondering why there is so little black sand. This entire state is red with iron staining and sparkly with mica. everything sparkles.
I think the black sand where Chris was working was mainly tin, it's common in some areas and none existent in others. The black sand in my area is largely hematite, at a guess yours would be too.
I just got back from England, Scotland, Norway and Iceland on a 1 month family holiday which included 14 nights on a Cruise Ship. The best part was seeing some incredibly beautiful places and the worst part was extremely limited internet to be able to keep up to date on your new releases. Always look forward to them - thank you.
Up here in Idaho USA, i know a creek that has nothing but black sand, and flower gold.Which I used a blue bowl to extract a little over 3 and a half ounces in a month and a half back in 2014
Gadzy's spot is incredible! And just imagine how it would go if he knocked on my door. How could you say no to that face. Lol. Your awesome Chris and senor sweat pants!
Out of all the prospectors I wat h and follow on TH-cam you are my favorite, always full of joy and entertaining, thank you for brightening up my day cheers
You're nothing but a massive tease! 🤣😇

Sweat pants sock? 😱@@VoGusProspecting

New drinking game: every time Vo-Gus says "the amount of black sand..." you take a shot!
lol
I don't want to kill anyone lol
I use to play this game with mark philippoussis that every time he serve an ace you had a shot
@@nmon9402 did you survive
That's a FANTASTIC IDEA FOR SURE 😂
Chris, your enthusiasm is infectious. I love watching the joy you express everytime you find gold, regardless of how much. You and Gadzee make a great team. It is wonderful to see you guys winning. 🥰😁👍
I’m loving seeing you and Senor Sweatpants winning 🥇 ! Your enjoyment and laughter is infectious. You two are Awesome!
The Great Gadzee (Senor Sweatpants) comes through in a big way.

4:56, making the rockhounds happy! The chunks of quartz are really enticing too. My pockets wouldn't be deep enough. lol

Inside I was like "wow man"
I love the look on peoples' faces when you ask them if you can dig in their yard. Surprisingly, it works.
I do it at houses in the city with my metal detector in my hand. I generally get enough permissions to keep me as busy as I want to be. I've gotten most of my silver that way. Gold comes from the beach.

a special thank you to the land owner for allowing us to see your beautiful land and experience this through gadzze and chris panning your awesome.
Our pleasure!
Well done Chris and Gadzee. 😁👍
It's a really special thing to be granted that kind of permission

That's ok 😀
Dude! Wow! Do everything you can to make that land owner happy!!!
There can be but one Sir Sweat Pants.
I dub thee, Sir Swamp Sack!
🤣🤣🤣
I'm calling him that now hahaha

So nice to see you two so fricking happy and excited
So happy for you Chris and gadzee to get this kind of gold action on private property dont be scared to flaunt the big finds/clean-ups

Chris- One of your best traits is that you don't take yourself seriously. This is one reason you are a successful TH-camr.
I AM SO HAPPPY FOR YOU YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND
Lovely color there, such bright and happy looking gold!
4:44 would make a fantastic picture
How exciting! Take very good care of that land owner for sure! Thank you for sharing your adventures
Our pleasure!
Just an exciting video Chris and Gadzee. ❤👏🏻👍🏻
Awesome video Chris and nice heavy pans
Being a victorian myself i always like watching your videos, always gives me incentive to go out myself and try.
Love seeing you blokes out on the creek. I just finished watching Gadzees video out on this creek and was very glad to see more of it on your channel. Cheers for the video mate
Just one word Chris !!!WOW!!!😄😄
Oh man, I’m happy for you. Love seeing the gold extracted from the earth.
Outstanding! And that banded jasper looks like it has some translucency - that’s an agate. Great find!
It is slightly translucent. Would live to see it polished up.
Damn!! You boys hit it!!! ❤❤so proud of that!! Woot woot!!!
Looks like an awesome place to run a dredge! Start at the low end and clean up the whole creek! Haha
grate show , marvelous hule of gold😊thanks Chris &gadszee.
Wow, one of the sickest creeks you have been and such a great video! We cant wait to see some more!😮

I'll be joining your patron soon!! Love watching everything you do!! Much love from Robby and Cinnamon Comas from Texas USA
That looks like a really fun day and place.

How to overload a dream mat in one shovel! I would be terrified to not use my numpty bucket. Thank you for sharing and keeping the dream alive💛
Brilliant, an exciting episode, hope you’re permitted access again
What a dream
I’m glad you’re doing more on TH-cam. 🎉
So happy that you've found your spot. Hopefully they allow you to continue there.
Congratulations Chris! What a memorable productive site! Good on ya!!!
Wow!✨💛A great day, Chris!!😃💗
Use a paint stir on a drill in a bucket to break up clay with less effort. Great find my friend.
Always excited when you get great pans.
Nice one boys, found a good little spot there
Way to go and so happy that you have found your river of gold. We are looking forward to seeing more videos of you pulling gold out.
Oh wow that's an amazing spot! I can't wait to see the rest of this.😮
Been loving the excitement you two have over this honey hole. What an awesome find!
You made my day! Not been smiling like this in a month!
Great content as always. Amazing to see the amount one shovel full holds. Looking forward to the next already! Thank you 👍
Another great video! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
‘ken unreal mate!
Thank you for talking about respecting the land. We can all learn from that.
awesome gold thank you for sharing the adventure and information.
BTM, save the black tin. That stuff adds up even more than gold. I quiver in distress seeing it returned to the creek! 😆

The black sand in my area is largely hematite, at a guess yours would be too.
Lots of hematite, magnetite, garnet sand and some other eaven heavier grey stuff idk.@@Jake12220
That's amazing! Can't wait to see the super dooper bonanza pans coming soon. Awsome job👍🏻
Hey Kris and Gadzie, you two always have fun, omg those pans are great!! Great video as usual !!!

Up here in Idaho USA, i know a creek that has nothing but black sand, and flower gold.Which I used a blue bowl to extract a little over 3 and a half ounces in a month and a half back in 2014
Looking forward to the next videos from that location.
Amazing just found your channel your so knowledgeable and the humor !
Gadzy's spot is incredible! And just imagine how it would go if he knocked on my door. How could you say no to that face. Lol. Your awesome Chris and senor sweat pants!
Naaaw 😀
Shucks
Do you need to be concerned about handling the gold with the mercury on it? Be safe my friend.
Out of all the prospectors I wat h and follow on TH-cam you are my favorite, always full of joy and entertaining, thank you for brightening up my day cheers
Much appreciated, im trying to deliver a little fun and joy
