- In this video I return to the richest gold bearing river I have ever discovered. On my last trip I found over 3 ounces of gold in just 2 days before I had to leave to go home. This time around I am packed for 4 days, what will the outcome be?

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the quality of your video production and story telling. Well bloudy done!! It doesn't go unnoticed mate!
Yeah, the video quality is incredible, considering he does this by himself. I could swear I can see more gold around the pieces he picks :)
I mean nature is doing most of the work ain't it ? Every shot is gorgeous. All he has to do is a little editing and add some music . Bada bing Bada bam . You tube gold
i saw nice gold missed@@nick1f

The gold is a mere bonus to how beautiful that creek is.
The cinematography, music, narration is absolutely gorgeous. I am thankful to be invited along this journey. Wonderful and relaxing.
Totally agree.
I’m from New Zealand I’ve been watching gold prospecting for awhile now on . I have to say your the best on TH-cam bro the edits the insights you share. I just found your channel this evening. Your content is golden man. Keep doing what your doing.
We're is he doing this?...and what kind of animals are in that area at night?...and day?
@@Jeremya74 Tasmania, not too many crazy animals during the day n night, probably spiders and bugs would be the biggest concern.
@@Synthetic-Chicken spiders and bugs are the craziest animals to me so...lol..but when you say "not to many crazy animals" were else are you comparing it to?
@@Jeremya74 Like bears/wolves etc, things that will come at you kind of thing, Australia does have some pretty nasty insects and spiders so that would be my biggest concern.
@@Jeremya74snakes,beers, bullsharks,alligators crocodiles,lions, tigers, you know 😂
Look at your channel grow. It's because of you Rob. So many words of wisdom. Your music and story are heartwarming. I am smiling with you mate. Cheers.
That will be a trip to cherish for a lifetime 🎉 amazing shaped pieces one looked like a whales tail breaching the ocean
We need another out of you sir!!!! Can’t wait to see your follow up video. I’ll be checking after this one to see if I missed anything but I usually don’t 👍
@@dodgeit3014 they’re two of the luckiest folks in the world! Having a place to go and be able to do what they do is awesome! I wish I had this opportunity and they had a feather up their a$$ ! We’d all be tickled.😊
“The harder they work, the luckier they get” 😉🍻
Did one look like pi?
Love your channel 💪💯🔥
Thanks Rob. Love your trecking videos and the revelation of the beautiful Tasmanian bush. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Coolest thing is, that gold has been waiting there for 1000's of years, just waiting for someone and its you. Well done for the effort.
Saya mau ikut kamu mencari emas ,saya sangat tertarik😊
Incorrect, even cooler.. gold is always moving and collecting until the next big rain event.
@@twixgaming6897 truth.
As you would find jagured edges like that from inside an untouched REEF, in water it's tumbled moved in the bottom gutters if the streams it travels in, of course till the water drys up, or the stream or creek simply move on its natural course.

Thanks for the adventure Rob. I love the hidden objects of gold you find but to me the the real gold is the scenery and the freedom! Great job and thanks again for sharing this piece.
The end of this story has touched me deeply. As I write a book about my adventures in growing up wild in Montana, I appreciate how this video has wrapped up after stunning scenery, captivating editing and amazing story telling. Thank You.
Where in Montana if you don’t mind me asking? I’m born and raised in Billings but I’ve been to a pretty decent amount and this year really plan on “conquering” the areas I haven’t seen. Not even gold related, just fishing, hiking etc
Great falls here and I’ve been fishing and hunting all over the state. Cool to see different land. I’m young couldn’t afford to explore different continent yet.
After watching the hard work that goes into mining and extracting precious metals like gold, I understand why my old man always said that the stock market is the closest man has gotten yet to alchemy. Creating stupendous amounts of money out of thin air. Humanity always wanted it easy lol!
Hahaha. Very true. The big brains behind that money machine sure do know how they did it.
Not so fast. I have done my fair bit of prospecting in there. Lost over 30K. I can conclusively say that it didn’t PAN OUT well for me :)
Lol. Tell that to the Warren Buffet’s and Charlie Munger’s. Actually some others are good. Cathy Wood predicted a rise in oil prices due to the Ukraine situation. My own adviser Mary Elizabeth Huxley also predicted that precious metals will go up during a recession after the pandemic. My portfolio has grown over $400,000 in 8 months so I guess some are better at prospecting stocks than others
Sounds great. I can’t get into Warren’s portfolio anyway to see how he does it. Does this Mary cater to private clients or is she institutional
She’s as personal as it can get. Worked in Merrill Lynch and manages individual portfolios. She’s the best bet if you are looking for something personal. I can't drop her number here but she has a publicly available website where you can reach her
You and Levi are the best. I love both channels. So cool y’all sometimes collaborate. Also watching you makes me miss camping in the wilderness. The best
I love the exploring for gold and feel your excitement when you expose a crack filled with gold. For me the real beaty is the untouched river and side streams you get to explore. Keep up the great videos and editing, I love what you do. Tasi is now on my list to one day visit.
Unbelievable. I don’t know how I found your channel but something tells me it won’t be obscure very long. I’ve only seen 2 (this and part 1) but I was glued to it. Well done and congratulations on turning hard work and passion into art that inspires. And thanks.
Wow I hope you’re right!
Go watch his hunt for the tiger
If you can't sell it in the country you found it,what are the laws when it comes to traveling with it to another country?...to sell ect?
What a beautiful place and an awesome recovery! I really enjoyed your choice of music too. It was all new to my ears but easy to entreat and complementary to such an untouched place. Just to walk there would be an experience to remember! Thanks for sharing it with us. Subscribed.
Hey Rob, I love these sniping videos, and you’re right the Tassy creeks are amazing. I used to trout fish in the SE quite a bit. I started gold detecting less than a year ago, and hopefully one day I get to go snipping to find a nugget. Great video. Andy.
Honestly one of the most fun prospectors to watch by far keep up the good work but dont over do it!
your channel is now my number one the sorrounding of the nature, music and your speak in the content is beautiful. pionerpaully is my second pav watching when it comes to gold prospecting.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing the bonanza with us, incredible to see all those pieces of gold!
Can't help but wonder if there was some microgold in those gravels it could be worth panning for. Hand dredge maybe?
Could the red rock be cinnabar?
Around 39 min in you mentioned those trenches. .they look a lot like burned out root branches from a fire years ago.. the roots can burn a long time underground and then the ground caves in to fill the gap of where the roots were... Awesome Scenery ☆☆☆!!
Just came across your videos a couple of days ago. I am mesmerized with the beauty of the areas that you go into. You're doing good with your gold finds. I just subscribed, I am just finding months old videos, I hope to find new ones.
I hope you got that other piece of “phantom gold” behind the tip of your bottle at 11:50!! I would have been keeping all of the black rocks that didn’t immediately float away when you fan with your hand haha! Your cinematography is top notch! Keep up the good work!
Beautiful video you and Levi make the best👏👏 congratulations on finding all that shiny✨ thankyou for taking us along
Very nice. Great content. Beautiful foliage and a beautiful river. Nice drone shots. Blessings and thanks for sharing.
Man...these videos get better and better. That creek is beautiful, and you captured it all perfectly.
Thanks Tom I appreciate that mate ;-)
Beautiful photography, great narration as always. Excellent ride. Thank you
You know every time I see you and Levi's videos you 2v are living my dream. I want to find great gold like you to plant a garden along creek in sunny area and live with the land sniping my with blissful content that there is nothing better than too be right there.
Where I'm from mate if you were in a creek like that a cougar mountain loin or bear would sit on ya and call you dinner
first time watching you work. It's so clear how much you cherish the place and your surroundings. Nice work. Oh, and amazing gold always helps!
Don't you just hate it when you spot a piece of gold and you don't know whether he has seen it or not !
😂😂
LOL I was literally just looking thru the comments to see if anyone else thought the same thing.
Most definitely, and I found myself thinking maybe the camera makes it look thr same but he knows it's not. Especially when the piece looks fairly big.
I know it was kind of driving me crazy not being able to tell what he was reacting to and what was gold and what wasn't
Everyone wishes to get it all but it’s impossible 😢 but some of the lighting might look like there is some, I do absolutely love this though
Such beautiful unique gold. Well done. Loved seeing that beautiful creek again too!
Hey Rob, I truly love your explorations and dedication. Your videos are so professional. Cheers brother
Enjoyed the last 2 videos and now about to sub, why? Genuine love for the nature and the joy in those smiles and sounds of glee like a child getting a new toy he's craving to get ... Wtf of clean crisp videos... Hitting the button now... Keep that hard work coming out and we will watch 😁🇬🇧
This is some truly great stuff!
Thank you 🙏 😊

@@Rob.Parsons at 9:58 you scraped a big nugget right in front of you off of the crack, and it went to your left and then you brushed away with your hand check it out.

@@beatndagutta I don’t think that was a nugget it looks too light
A truly magnificient find of all of this gold out in the Tassie wilderness. I do hope that you also picked up the dark covered gold that you thought wasn't actually gold until a mate of yours pointed it out. I say this because at 11:48 there was such a gold piece near the top LH corner that I think you missed, but perhaps you didn't know about it at the time.
What an amazing haul dude!
I noticed your tent pegs front and left in your final shot of Basecamp at 40:25, hope you grabbed them, it’s something I’ve left behind before 😂
Also amazing to see your subscriber base double since part 1 of this vid, a well deserved result 🤘🏼
I’ve been watching pioneer pauly for yrs and now this is my new favorite channel! I wish Pennsylvania had more gold and less laws! Keep up the great work and videos!
Hey Rob, there's a chance your pink thing 'acting like a heavy' is a sulfosalt - proustitite or pyrargite maybe. Fascinating wire shapes in the gold. Can't be that far from source. Brilliant to see the rock shelf shapes and folding underwater here, would love to know the catchment. Happy prospecting and as always well followed research and your film making really outstanding to make the bush come alive.
Hey Rob that little flat where you were camped well as far as I can see it looks like an alluvial flat. You've got coarse gold in the creek, there has to more of it under your feet where you've camped. That little open cut slash in the side of the creek that you found would be the efforts of the old fellows looking for the wash on top of the bedrock. That's where the gold is. I would be putting in an experimental open cut starting from the bedrock in the creek & pushing towards where your tent was. Testing the wash as you go. I'm from Queensland mate & we don't have the water to wash dirt like you do do in the Gold bearing country up here. It's dry up here mate. You are so lucky to have water in great supply.
A rare combination of skills on display here, Rob. Beautiful camera work and great humility. Then there is that golden reward. Just inspiring on many levels. I have seen all your videos; please keep up the wonderful passion. One thought - bigger magnetite etc = bigger gold. Do a bit of magnet fishing as you go and sample the magnetite size before diving under. Might help. Might not too. Gold loves the iron.
Video yang sangat menarik dan saya suka, salam dari indonesia,
I like watching people doing something that I can’t do, Awesome job bro👏🏽👏🏽
The quality of filming is epic, presentation,speaking,storytelling, epic epic epic and the music you put to it all boooom epicness…love y work Rob…I hope to meet you one day.
You and Levi are beasts of the river! The amounts of gold you find is beyond amazing! I’m still drooling thinking of your gold finds each and every day. I doubt you need it but the very best of luck in 2023 and stay safe.
Thanks man appreciate it!
Sadly Levi recently passed away
Nice job of filming so cool to see whats gone into all the finds. Its work and plenty of it and could easily be a skunked trip
I am an opal hunter myself. never give up and never give in. on the day i wasnt going to dig and just fish after years of searching but finding only small 3- 9 crt stones i did it. i extracted a fire opal geod 13ft long .. im still shaking at its beauty. it will be put to good use helping. that was the promise. keep pushing!! keep the videos coming. we love to watch them. its like the boiler room for a salesperson. GB
I want to see that!!!
Dang now that is inspiring and can be applied to so many topics in life. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on your amazing find.
unfortunately the dig vide corrupted. but i will throw up a video showing the largest chunk at 16+ pounds. its definitely changed our lives very quick. we are doing our best to keep our word for the better. ill put it up this week by Friday Missouri time.
never give up! that one in a lifetime dig could be on that day you didnt want to go.
Love your stories. Great find. Thanks for sharing.
love your work Rob.. massive smile seeing what you have done..
Just found your channel & have to say your editing & filming/commentary is fricken mental!! I would love to get out & Snipe. How stoked are you solo camping in paradise & finding treasure. Keep sending it!!
Way to go Rob!!! I am extremely over joyed for you brother. You are living a prospectors dream!!! Keep up the amazing job, be safe out there my friend!!
Your videos are really interesting. Thanks for going to places in Tassie that people don't know exist. Great historical research and storey telling! Well done!
Amazing video my brother. I can’t believe that much gold is just in the streams waiting to be found. You worked hard for it
I’m so impressed that you find such internal balance between what must be a desire to drop everything and just find gold, but also to get the necessary angles and drone footage to produce such quality content. Thank you Sir. Respect.
Epic and beautiful location..
Tassie rules👌👍Great Work Rob... God bless.
I might be in my 70s but i just love watching your videos. I have done a few hikes in Tassie back in the day.The last one was to Lake Pedda back in the 60s and before the Govt filled it in. I can see now why people call your prospecting "gold fever" it was exciting just watching your efforts. Thanks for sharing
First time watcher, great video and documentary of your stay in the woods. Got me wanting to explore near by rivers deep in the Puerto RIco jungle!
Just awesome Rob, love your hikes, the scenery is outstanding . Love your storytelling as you hike and finding gold that has probably been there since year dot, excellent outcome to you for sure. Love your dedication in every adventure Now itching for your next one, cheers Rob, not once have you let us down, a true natural in the making.Take care..
This creek is so pretty and it has gold. Paradise!
Thank you for sharing this journey. Having done this type of sniping in Oregon for years, I find that this is the most rewarding way to get gold. Look forward to more great views of Tasmania.
Absolutely beautiful. Dreamy, but real. Love your music. Love the poetry. Love the country. Thankyou Rob.
Crazy what just a man and a pan can do lol. Love your content and admire your adventure and confidence! Keep it up and be safe out there. You have truly found the little tint creek than EVERY man would want to be in lol. Such good chunky nugs ❤
Nice one 👍 is that some old tailings at 2:05 ?
now you've gotta be wondering how many of the black rocks are actually gold 😳
also, only watched your last couple videos so not sure if you have a detector, but I'd be taking one to that spot for sure, seems remote enough to not have much trash if any at all
Love your vids mate. I’ve been watching you and Levi for a bit now and have started snipping myself and have found some good gold.
Love seeing the gold pop out in the water when ya fan away the over burden. Best feeling ever.
Keep up the great work 👍👍👍
Thanks Rob, The trench you saw is most likely a tailings race(tail race). The river was dammed to allow a higher water level and the capacity to control the flow through their 'Long Toms' , just a long wooden sluice. usually here in Vic. they are associated with stacks of clean rocks either side. the goldbearing gravels could be hydraulically sluiced or shovelled into the long tom
Countless to the colour that place is just all kinds of beautiful great camera work on the intro mate very cool congrats on your finds to mate nice work
Awesome of you to share this adventure with us. The gold speaks for itself, but the scenery is magical.
Just beautiful Rob.. and the gold was a nice bonus too.. bless you for taking me on your adventures. love from Yorkshire England.
Great to see you get a reward for your hard work but the real gold is you Rob. Your passion and skill in the presintation of the true wild Tasmaina is what makes your videos so compelling. Every true Tasmanian needs to salute your herculean efforts with your channel.
That means a lot thanks Ekkers
Well said
@@FreeSoul132yea very well said
I'm captivated by your videos. Beautiful country keep it coming!!!
Hey Rob, great videos. I am watching from Maryland on the US. I took my kids on gem mining trips during spring break about 5 years ago. We didn’t know much but we had a blast and actually found some stones made into jewelry for my wife and both grandmothers of my kids. I’ve been watching these videos and am looking to do some similar trips with my boys here in the states. Thanks for the inspiration to get me up off the couch after the 2020-2022 scenarios. I’ll film what I can and let you know how it goes when we take the trip. Keep on prospecting!

My goodness, Rob you have earned some awesome small nuggets of gold from the lucky state. I had no idea that snipping could bring such beautiful rewards. I have never found that much gold in a day. Well done young fellow.
I've watched a lot of Golf prospection TH-cam videos and your content has them all beat. Amazing edits, Story telling and best of all your Australian accent
!!!! Amazing content keep up the good work.
Thanks! 😊
Another classic production. I am not sure if you realise just how good your story telling ability is. Video quality….that goes without saying. What I don’t get is why it is illegal to sell gold in Tasmania.
Probably because they're not a democracy despite appearances. I can't imagine that law even has the support of a tiny portion of the population. What sort of person would vote for such a thing?
I love your videos, Tasmania is such a beautiful place. I can only imagine the feeling you get when you find a awesome honey hole with beautiful gold. I've always wanted to get into metal detecting like my grandfather . I actually bought a cheap one only to have it stolen after 2 days. Be safe on your trips. Love watching your videos.
You deserved it mate. Congratulations on the reward for your hard work.
I appreciate that mate thank you 😊
@@Rob.Parsons more on demand
Awesome haul! Congratulations
Boggles my mind that you have such confidence in your research to trek miles out into the wilderness. Would be pretty amazing to get a glimpse of your research process, and get some tips on what kind of "signals" you're looking for in potential rivers that give you the confidence to risk your life to reach certain spots. Keep doing what you're doing. These videos are incredible. Cheers.
I love watching your Gold Adventures in Tasmania! Congratulations Rob!
Paraná, Brazil.
Rob, man, that was mindblowing!! A huge haul, and what a place to do it. That is some of the most beautiful country in the world. Thanks for taking us along, and congratulations!!!
My pleasure Greg thanks for watching man!
Amazing gold hunt 🔨🍫🙏👍
I find the adventure of the hunt to be far more valuable than the gold itself. Well done!
A floating small dredge would be nice for what you are doing. The suction tips will allow you to get all those small golds and alot of paydirt really fast. There are some nice small ones that can be taken into bush.
Rob, your editing skills are beginning to turn into something to write home about. Excellent music mixed in to really emphasize the spiritual journey we're all on in these special parts of your video's. ThankQ Rob ❤👍🏻👏🏼🙏🏻☝🏻
Boy imagine dredging this river! You would need a new house with beefy floors to hold the weight of all the gold!
I'm new to the prospecting side of TH-cam. It's inspiring honestly.
Besides all the precious gold, it looks like your having a great time. What a fulfilling hobby. Thanks for sharing this with all of us, in a way I feel like I've struck gold as well.
❤️
Excellent cinematography- you're great at what you do, Rob. Cheers
You're an inspiration brother, another amazing video and so well put together!
Thanks Homie appreciate that
Just came across your channel. Thank you for sharing your amazing trip finding gold! Awesome man! Really great video!! I truly enjoyed the content! 😂subscribed and am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. That was a nice amount of gold! Take care.
Just a small correction, you put into your gold calculator that what you have is 24K. No gold coming out of the ground is .999. One must refine the material to get it pure. Normally, the gold nuggets are usually 20K to 22K purity (83% to 92% by mass).
Except Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand mate. Our gold is the purest in the world, typically coming out at 23k and 24k. It's the trade in for everything being able to kill you here.
Yeah I don't think that's right. I've heard even in dahlonega ,Ga here in the states it coming out the water 98-99% pure
@@scarlettardis2018good for nothing. I heard you can’t keep it.
@@ClaytonBigsby01, you are absolutely correct. I've prospected Northern Georgia for years, and get top dollar for the 98-99% PURE gold.
Another know it all that knows fuck all 😂
I love watching your videos. I just started looking for gold in creeks yesterday. I only fold gold flakes. What is your vacuum called? I need to get me one
Me being an Amerucan who just turned 60 the only way I'll get to see your river is through you. Your videos are amazing and i thank you for taking me where im unable to go...
You could go if you wanted to. It would require money and preparation.
0:55 you can see pieces of that "phantom gold" in that crack, you didn't suck it up tho because its so dark it doesn't look like gold. But you can clearly see the shine on it with smooth texture, its definitely more of that.
That’s an insane amount of gold mate, congratulations once again on an amazing discovery.
That "j" piece looked more like a dragons head and neck. And the next piece A sword. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Watching you find the gold is so exciting. But the inclusion of the streams and rivers you walk, the waterfalls, the scenery, camp set up, and the fires you light, just make a magical video to watch. Thank you so much.
Congratulations mate! You deserve this.
Awesome haul -- and very well done on the footage and editing (amazing!) ... WTF? NOT legal to sell there?
I'm a hobby prospector -- and like Rob said in the previous video, this is what we dream of -- but obviously it takes the "hard yards" to find those glory holes.
116.95 grams of gold in three days valued at $20,260.56 Rob,what an awesome frigging haul of Gold!!..♊ I had no idea Gold is not legal to sell here in Tasmania....that really sucks..our gov has got to change that??...Rob, hope you go back there soon?.....Pete from Devonport....PS my birthday tomorrow...I'll be 65.
Happy 65th Birthday Pete!! Have an awesome day.
@@Ru4real1 Thanks I had an awesome day out had a meal at a pub with my daughter
Fuck that I wouidvmelt it down, stick it up my arse, get out the country and sell it
Tasmania. What a beautiful Mystic and Ancient landscape That fire looked very warm and inviting and your wood was quite a bit dryer on this trip. Did you run across any more of that dark oxidized gold that would be easy to miss
As I’m now an old 72 yr old guy you’ve inspired me to me to get out and
start a new interest thx
