Oh thank you so much!! I'm taking the kids here on Friday from Brisbane ☺️🌺. We have never done it before and excited to go and dig and have fun. Was a bit worried as on the net besides the gov or tourism sites no one has said anything about this spot for there actually being any lol. If you do have any advice or places along there or even close to gympie we love to know. Was looking at your chinamans creek one and chinamans creek road not all that far from there 30 mins? Is chinamans creek along side the road of that name? Also it looks so dry so no swimming at deep creek at the same time as panning? 😯😯🌈 thanks i was excited to see your video seeing as we going this week!!
hopefully you will do well, obviously there is gold their, ( it will be mildly hard to find because the locals have probably had a good wack down their but im sure you'll be alright) just like he said, look for inside bends, be persistent, look for rock crevices if you can find any, and if in doubt, just find the area that he worked in the video 8:27, he got a bit their so hopefully you will too i wouldn't recommend swimming, the water looks a bit dirty
Yeah dig where I showed you in the video and hope you score some shinny. Be careful with other areas though as you generally need permission from land owners 😉
Jane Burgess Psychic Medium Hi Jane, if you follow my instructions to where to find the gold that should give you the best chance? For Chinamans creek you generally would need permission from land owner and sorry I can’t help with that. Just be aware of rules on gov website in terms of prospecting and have fun
Thanks so much to both you! I'll keep you posted!! And we will get out permits and thanks for letting me know all the other info. And unbelievable about how low the creek is. 🎉🌺
Thanks Smoky, I was thinking about visiting this site and I was not sure if it was a worthwhile prospect or not, so it is great to get a visual on the area. If someone was just going to use a gold detector and they did not have a 4WD but were willing to hike what area would you recommend in Gympie if you don't mind me asking?
Hi, went up today had some luck (five tiny specks) not bad as a starter. Your videos are encouraging me to do some gold panning. I will try again and see how I go.
Hey bud. Good video! Its a great spot, if you know what to look for. Two notes. 1. All the gold there is from the tailings/mullock piles of the past miners. 2. Get a hold of as many old black n white photos of the mining in action. You should be able to put the puzzle together from there. I will say theres plenty of gold in the clay layer of the banks. From past big floods it has moved along and gotten stuck in the clay. Get an 18v cordless drill and dummy up any kind of head for it. Then you can break it all up in a 20L bucket of water.
Hi mate, this is exactly why I started this channel so people like you can share their knowledge. I feel great that you have extended your time to provide all of us the information that you obviously know well. I for one will put your information in the memory bank for my next visit. I might even have a crack at the bank to see if I can find some more clay higher up. 👍👍👍
I haven't been down to Deep creek for a couple of years... I couldn't believe how dry it was. In fact it was nearly unrecognizable... a spot I panned a few times successfully is thick grass now :( Anyways... no luck today, local so there is plenty of time to have another look. Also... the bloke at the museum that does the panning lessons is great to have a chat with 😉
All that jagged rock your finding is road base the council built a bridge through conondale 2010-11 that washed away during a big flood, 100s of tons of the shit
@@SmokeyProspecting haha yer travelled about 100 km down the mary river ,then decided to take a right turn and swim up deep creek against the current. 🤣 That's the funniest thing iv heard in years. Cheers for the kak. 👌
hey, not sure if this is why all the rocks aren't water worn but apparently during the first gold rush in gympie, deep creek was mined up so much that the creek was destroyed. They later rebuilt the area and made the water flow where the original creek did before.
Wow really! That would explain the strange rocks in the creek there. I’ll get back there again when lockdown is over to see if I can find everyone a better spot to dig as I’ve recently heard one of our subs found some nice Chunky there.
@@SmokeyProspecting there is also a section of the river that is pretty good, I have found a bit there and not a lot of people gold mine there. it is the river access at curry rd, the palms Gympie. I think it is defiantly worth a try
Hi Zac, it’s west side of Brisbane road. Go in and park on Victoria street and you will see the entrance, walk down and take the path to the left. You should be able to see the spot then if the water level hasn’t changed. Good luck, let us know how you go👌😎
Hi mate, you can see the sluice we use in our latest video. It comes as a sluice/high banking setup with a pump. The info for the one we use is in the info beneath that video. 👍👍
Hi Glenn, I’m pretty sure you could get a header unit to make it a high banker. You might even need to change your matting with the increased water flow required. If you give Ben from Gold diggers in Brisbane a call he can guide you through the correct set up. Make sure you tell him Smokey sent you 😎👍👍. Let me know how you go.
Smokey Prospecting yer me neither but I’m going upstream from the Hinz dam tomorrow I’ll see how I go and give you the coordinates if I find some it’s only 25 minutes from Mudgeeraba at the back of the Heinz dam cheers big buddy
Great vid mate. Im not really interested in gold but more so relics from settlers and from old settlements. Do you know if there was any on the fossicking site? Cheers
Hi mate, yes there is. There was many military men and woman there during the gold rush so there is relics there. I did find a soldier’s button there with the Nox but didn’t look long.

I am going to just bug my mum for hours to go there (3h drive from my house)

Good thank for giving us all the hints it really good
I am a local. Thankyou for not showing them the "non-tourist" spot.
Hi, went up today had some luck (five tiny specks) not bad as a starter. Your videos are encouraging me to do some gold panning. I will try again and see how I go.
Well done mate, welcome to the gold chase. May the gold gods be good to you. 👍👍👍👍
flour gold there so worth a tiny sluice with a mat to catch it
Good on yer Smokey, another great video. You got more gold than I did at Deep Creek!
Hi Simon, Yeah I struggled to find a spot for everyone to go try out but I never gave up even in the heat. Great to hear you loved the vid. cheers

Hi Megan, sorry to hear you missed out on finding some colour. I had to work pretty hard for the bit that I got but it was fun all the same.
All that jagged rock your finding is road base the council built a bridge through conondale 2010-11 that washed away during a big flood, 100s of tons of the shit
Wow mate, that’s great local knowledge, I thought it might have been the ore from the old timer wash or something. Thanks for letting us all know. 👍
@@SmokeyProspecting haha yer travelled about 100 km down the mary river ,then decided to take a right turn and swim up deep creek against the current. 🤣 That's the funniest thing iv heard in years. Cheers for the kak. 👌
Thank you for the tips. Just starting off myself fossicking. Super helpful
I've pulled some good gold pickers and species on both sides of the GPA there
Good stuff I find more at Warwick then any were else keep the videos comeing !
Hi Josh, yeah we have been meaning to head that way lately but it has been a bit dry and hot. Would love to know more about the area though.
Hi smoke how was your Xmas good I hope we might be up there in March I hope so I need some tips if you can have a happy new year
Sure is running now lol

Which side of brisbane road are you coz i know youre east of bruce highway

Hi Smoky one question do you use a water pump for your sluice
Hi mate, you can see the sluice we use in our latest video. It comes as a sluice/high banking setup with a pump. The info for the one we use is in the info beneath that video. 👍👍
Merry Xmas and a very gold new year Smokey and family
Thanks Glenn, Merry Xmas to you guys too 👍👍
Hi Smoky I called them and said you recommended them got some info thank you
Good on ya Glenn👍.👍👍, hope you get heaps of gold mate.
@@SmokeyProspecting thanks for all your help
Great vid, thank you
Thanks Timmsy 👍👍
Just Subbed Buddy...
Good work 👍🏻
Thanks Ippy, welcome aboard the Smokey train 👍😎
Hi another quick question I have a ten inch wide sluice what do I need to make it a high banker if I can
Hi Glenn, I’m pretty sure you could get a header unit to make it a high banker. You might even need to change your matting with the increased water flow required. If you give Ben from Gold diggers in Brisbane a call he can guide you through the correct set up. Make sure you tell him Smokey sent you 😎👍👍. Let me know how you go.
@@SmokeyProspecting thanks again for your help
Hi Smokey I called must be away there was no answer
Yeah mate, they are closed public holidays. 🎅🏻🎅🏻. Should be open tomorrow 👍👍
Ok great I just didn’t think
Hey Smokey have you found any gold on the Gold Coast yet 😂
Not a single spec as yet mate but I intend to sometime. ;)
Smokey Prospecting yer me neither but I’m going upstream from the Hinz dam tomorrow I’ll see how I go and give you the coordinates if I find some it’s only 25 minutes from Mudgeeraba at the back of the Heinz dam cheers big buddy
Hello sir
Hi John, welcome to our channel 👍
Great vid mate. Im not really interested in gold but more so relics from settlers and from old settlements. Do you know if there was any on the fossicking site?
Cheers
Hi mate, yes there is. There was many military men and woman there during the gold rush so there is relics there. I did find a soldier’s button there with the Nox but didn’t look long.
@@SmokeyProspecting Thank you for getting back to me. Well that’s great news I will have to make a trip up there in the new year. Cheers again 🙏
