Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...
Highlight of the video is Fern at the end.
A piece of carpet and a tire?!! That is the MOST Aussie Outback Solution I have ever seen! Mick you god damned mad genius XD
Good Morning from Canada, Chris!
Yeah micks a total legend best bunch of lads an rofl to the intro luv ya guts brothers
Straya mate
Chris: Put the silencer on so we don't get complaints from neighbors.
Mick: None that we will listen to anyway!!
I like Mick, hes got balls...... lol
"Getting the air out of the riffles before use."
See!! Little things like this are a godsend.
I would've completely overlooked that 😂👍🏻
Hey Chris you can put a lid on your concrete mixer with a seal which will allow you to "tip" your mixer further and carry more "product" :) the metal clip lid off a 40 gallon drum or possibly the next size down drum works well! Also has the added bonus of making the unit way quieter lol As alway love ya channel ferns a sweet dog with awesome ears love seeing her wantin to listen and please ya :) Anyways.......... ONWARDS TO THE GOLD ME HEARTIES!!!! AARRRRRGH!!😉
You can also use hard, rounded river cobbles instead of or in addition to the steel balls for more grinding surface.
Look how tiny Fern is! She's adorable! Didn't realize how young she was seeing her in your newer videos. Still pretty new to the channel lol. Loving the content Chris!!
Excellent Results!
Well Done Chris, I’ve been waiting for this one since you showed that reef the pup found lol
Please stay awesome and the great videos coming!
Nothing better than the love and joy a dog brings into our lives. Not even gold.
Gold can give you joy... but not the love a snuggles.❤
Great luck on that vein!!! Congratulations!
Mick and his heavy balls!! Lol
Fern at the end was so funny. She is a joy.
MICK'S NEIGHBORS REALLY LOVE HIM... with much glee in his voice. Hahaha
That is sooo awesome Chris !! Forget everything else. Start drilling and blasting that vein ! Super nice show on the shiny ! We use to have a lode mine. Had a crusher, impact mill, sluice and shaker tables. Made enough $$$ to pay expenses and purchase a tractor and drilling equipment. We didn't get nearly the gold from such a small sample. Go for it mate !!
So happy for you Chris. May the gold Gods bless you for your years of dedication.
Always check for specks of gold in your magnetics. What a wonderful video. Loved Fern! 😀
Great find, well made video (as expected now 🙂).
Bit of fern and a wonderful picture of Zoe on your wall (proper art).
Well done guys!
Excited to see more ☺️
Great find, and nice test. Loved the suppressor, back yard ingenuity , fabulous! Keep the great shows coming!
Thanks again!
I have a mixer-mill also. I use balls from 3" graded down to 1/2", use as much balls as ore and it gets ground down to powder. They key to size is that the ore will only be guaranteed to be ground to the inside walls of a tetrahedron of your smallest charge. The smaller stuff is from random impacts so is just a buy-product of what is happening. More grading of charge will get your ore powdered faster, and you have to have it somewhat crushed to start with rather than just tossing boulders in there. Heavy pans mate!
Awesome find Chris, hope the reef produces heaps more for you!
CHRIS AND MICK you guys need to go back there asap to find the best stuff can't wait to see those videos. Mick that is Pure genius That's Cement mixer is a game changer lol Freaking AWESOME 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
Awesome to see the progress! Good looking pan man
It's great to see you out in the bush, laughing at the antics of your dog.
Either your doing a better acting job or you are genuinely happy. Congrats, that's not easy.
I will always remember that ball mill idea...that was a good one ! Great video Boys.
Try putting carpet underlay around your cement mixer to deaden the sound. That's what we have done at work.
What a great spot you've got can't wait to see if you decide to go after it properly 🤗
That was a interesting process. Thanks for sharing!
Chris, once again I'd like to thank you!!! Finished up a nice long week of work here on Colorado USA and got to enjoy another great video of yours. From 20 seconds in, till the end once again, you had me giggling like a little school girl. You and Mick keep it up. Thank you.
Heavy pans.
It need more balls of the big size
Good work Vo Gus. Excellent result from your ore and interesting ball mill. I have a few suggestions which may have made your vid even more interesting from my point of view.Firstly, I noticed after you had finised the ball mill session and isolated the bigger rock fragments ,that there appeared to be some shiny ,clean rock faces that would lend themselves to a close examination through a lupe,to assess if any visible gold was present and an analysis of other intersting minerals such as pyrite,amd other sulphides
......Secondly,if you have been watching Jason of the chanel 'mbmmllc', you would know how the gold can be locked up in sulphides and that various methods of oxidising sulphides can reduce them and liberate some of this hidden,(usually discarded) sources of gold. In your video you could have isolated the sulphides from the sluice run tailings ,and from your magnet captures,and tried an oxidising technique, e.g. oixdisation with peroxide and or roasting the sulphides. then the reduced sulphides could have been sluiced and analysed for freed up gold. To my mind these 2 suggestions would have made your video even more captivating. Just my thoughts and I hope they are some value for you thoughful consideration.................In addition, if you haven't made a video yet of this aspect of gold recovery,(since I haven't been through all you works),I would love you to see do a video on Magnet fishing for gold......(see 'Prospecting River Gold With A Magnet!?' by 'Klesh' chanel). ..amazing and unexpected results. That's all for now my man.Keep up the good works.Good golding to you.
p.s. don't do any golding or videos atm due to other demands of life.But would love to get back into it soon.
Omg that reveal!!! So excited for you
Nick's must be the most popular on the block 🤣
I love when puppies try to help Dad! Owers is just over a year old and is still possessed by a velociraptor spirit.
Wow, amazing find! I love that crusher, I was honestly thinking about making one just like that myself and just can't find balls that big without actually taking time to hunt them down
when I was thinking about mine in my head, I came to the conclusion that instead of welding bars into the drum, which would probably get beaten off anyway, just skip the welding and toss in some 20-30 cm bars of rebar loose like the balls. they will help stir up the balls for harder hits. while they might be falling right now, they don't have the energy they should. also, if you can find some smaller balls, that will help as well because there will be more steel-steel contact. you're getting a lot of stuff in that middle size because there's too much void space between the balls. think about how you would stack a pyramid of 4, there's that void space at the center. you want a ball that's just bigger than that area so that the others won't rest on each other during the rotation. this happens naturally in big mills as the balls wear down and they just dump more in. with a little fine-tuning, you should be able to crush that all down to process grade in an hour
also, if you are thinking of welding onto the drum, weld some bolts on and stick hockey pucks or something onto them to act as vibration dampners. even just clean a spot off and see if anyone has any automotive sound mat to stick on laying around as a leftover
Greetings Chris, good use for a cement mixer & hopefully it can be reverted back to it's main use when needed. Just need to refit the original blades back in if at all possible.
" Mostly used for crushing no doubt ".
" Very cool & brilliant idea " +1
Looking good chris keep up the good work
Enjoyed watching you crush the ore glad to see you found a rich gold bearing vain.😃
Now that's just clever.great idea.awsome find on the reef
I hope you keep finding good gold and get yourselves a claim soon!
Yes, you may call me, Old Moldy Balls! 🤣Balls of crushing destruction! This cement mixer mashup is awesome!
Exciting stuff! Good work.🍻
Well done guys 👍 this is what you have been looking for Chris and I am happy you found such a productive reef, I hope that it’s huge so you could get a lease on it and set up Zoe and yourself up for life. And of course Mick that is truly an Aussie invention well done mate
Good luck on the discovery!!
That cement mixer works great! Good low cost processing cool! I hope you get a good return coming steady with that find. Good on ya! From Canada
Great video Chris the ball mill works great
That's incredible Chris and mick keep up that great search for the booger sugar lol
Great video!!! Loved it.
Nice find! Fern too.
If it does work out for you Chris ,you might be able to get a new windcheater and you can give that old one to Fern to add a few new holes
I'm so stoked for you both this couldn't happen to a better bunch congrats Chris an Mick get that EL in ab going brothers your onto a good thing chase it chase it chase it LOOL.
Congrats bros
Well she really knows how to make a splashing ending,unforgettable I tell ya.Wandering what to do with my old mixer(light bulb goes on).Great video and gold to boot.David out
Working a lease could be an exciting new chapter for your channel. Hope it goes well, can’t wait to see more.
Lo mejor que he visto. Muy ingenioso.
Congrats on the find!
cool reveal and ball crusher.... and a very cool ferny scoop
just realised Ive seen the video before and commented but still good fun
Aye you! dat's some good Au !! go for the claim, go for the claim !!!!!
That was inspirational, Chris!

Aha the long awaited cement mixer crusher! Nice, in going to give this a go!
Hi most of sound come from drum sides you could spray with foam to deaden the din a bit
That was funny chris great blooper
That’s a heckin good result! Very good idea with the concrete mixer. Question though, would metal lawn bowling balls work as a tumbling media? I imagine those large steel shot to be worth as much if not more than the mixer. Also, spraying the outside of the mixer with tub liner would silence it quite a bit more. Maybe even plasti dip... BIG LOVE!
Great video, like Mick, like the home made crusher, like the gold you got , and love your puppy.
Thanks 👍
You guys need a chain mill or D shackle mill like the one we put together on our channel,
makes crushing that smaller size 1/2" an under a breeze crushes it in seconds so you can fully utilise all the ore you put the work in to dig out!
Give it a look on our channel dude!
Wish you were my neighbours, nothing better than that sound early on a Saturday morning 🤣😂
Prospector ingenuity at its best!
Great video! That ball crusher is legit! Mick must be a great friend to crush rocks for you while driving his neighbor's crazy! Fern looks to be growing like a weed & taking to exploring with you like a champ.
Fern is getting so big!!
i have a two axle, 2 cubic yard concrete mixer that i've modified with a hopper, spray bar and winch to move the hopper out of the way. i feed 80% clay in my ore into it, pour off the clay slurry,
and dump out the ore when it gets full. i've checked severa; five gallon buckets to see what i miss in the clay slurry and it's almost nothing.
Good job and good luck on the next hunt
Awesome video Chris 👍 lol cool ore crusher
We attached old carpet to every square inch on a big tumbler and it made a big difference. Good stuff here!
That's a great idea!
Very nice well done mate 👍
Holy balls!
I like the Australian way, doing things like the "lid" on the mixer.
I have a Multi Sluice as well from Gold Hog. How do you like the dream mat over the Gold Hog mats? I've never seen this done before to a Multi Sluice and it interests me very much!!!
Great result 😃👍👏👏
Very good , ya on a good thing there!
That is Bloody awesome guys 🙂 love the silencer Mick haha.
It works very well and some really nice gold to 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it, it works pretty good for $150
@@VoGusProspecting hell yeah cheap enough to I wish I could get hold of some mill balls to make a similar rig. I'm in the process of making a chain mill
Love it Chris soon u will be on Aussie gold hunters with mick as ur ball mill mechanic
After Chris and mick, great set of balls.
its relatively cheap in Canada considering the pay off can be in the 7 digits
Nice gold :D
Neighbors shall not complain. The more gold you can process, the sooner you will move out there ;)
This is a good point
Theres gold in BC on the West Coast of Vancouver Island . After a storm , its on the beach . We are stopped from going after it .
Hey man loving the content the past couple months. One of the most informative and helpful channels that I follow. Always welcome to come pan with me lol I live in Dan Hurd country haha
I would not mention Dan Hurds name he is a slippery as they get.
Boing!....hugs brother!
Just a curiosity question, Do you think there would be more gold recovered form the ore if it were exposed to aqua regia?
Good work guys! Grizzly is shining down upon you!
Hahahaha that ball mill its just so LOUD, he has got some balls.
What an awsome idea
i bet Mick's neighbours absolutely adore him.........
Gostei muito bom e inteligente 🤗🤗🤗
Do you use a magnet for any shards. I've considered this myself
7:52
To me, it looks like the same picker, you showed few minutes ago.
welcome to my life in nevada. i hope you have it all claimed up, marked, and geter done bro!
added the like...evidence for Mick's neighbours that their patience is worth it! hope you share a picker with them!
So, do you save all of your gold from all the vids in on place, or do you sell it as you collect it? Would be cool to see a big jar full of all the gold you’ve collected over the years if you still had it.
Time to stake a claim buddy! Congratulations!!!
Good on ya. Keep crushing.
Good goin guys
As a song i remember from the 1980. I will change the word i to Mick gots big balls
great work guys. that was cool indeed. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Good job👍
