Wow, quite brilliant and very informative. As a child growing up on the edge of Castlemaine, I often found mining artifacts and crumbling structures. With the help of this channel, I now understand what they were and how they were used.
I don't know how I didn't comment on this video when it came out a year ago, but as usual, Michelle has done us proud with her excellent video production! Well done, Michelle! I must visit my town sometime soon! Fryerstown! 😂 Mark from Melbourne Australia
Intensely informative and watchable presentation. Harmonious and seamless (apart from the quartz seams) blending of video and audio. Full marks from me.
Love your videos! As a prospector, I always find them so informative. Amazing visual media that always looks so professionally edited! Also, can't believe you only have 2.13K subscribers... I think the US audience would really enjoy your channel!
Great video, so much went into quartz mining I didn't realise back then. It's good to know these structures and what they were used for, thanks for the info.
Thanks so much for your excellent vids Michelle! I and my fellow Epic Tourists have been visiting Maldon, Fryerstown etc. Your informative presentations are bringing alive for us these fascinating, old Victorian diggings.
Another awesome vid with plenty of great history, and knowledge you have. Love the video rolls and to see you makes it even better......hope to see more.
G'day, it's been a while, good to see you back on the Goldfields and to you as well commenting live on site, love what you do, keep it up, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Very good video. Quite enjoyed that. How cool would it have been to see all that in action. The mine I work at uses a sag and ball mills with cyanide in leach. Pretty neat to see how it was developed. :)
Great history. My sister and I explored mines in the Yuba River area as kids and have always had an interest. My son mines nickel and it turns out that my Irish ancestors were miners in Ironton Ohio long ago.
As always very informative , I have even roasted small samples to crush , it helps big time. Love the longer format, but enjoy them all. It is fantastic that you are so enthusiastic about the gold history in Victoria. ❤❤ it!
Your narration style is very soothing interestingly! I love the history of Victoria as im from there and have explored a lot of Vic in my very capable LC100 before I moved to NZ for work. Keep making these great and informative .videos. Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘 Edit: the music soundtrack from about 6:30 got a bit annoying esp 7:10 onwards.
@@goldfieldsguide yw. One place you might want to visit is Blackwood, and if you've you've already done a video on this ? Let me know ? and i'll search your vids. Do a search on "Gold was discovered in Jackson’s Gully, Blackwood on the 14th of November, 1854." and if you do, please - the music soundtrack ? I'd be ok with Spiritbox, some Industrial Goth, other Metal whatever, but none of these over the top orchestral accompaniments which drown out your narration. Acoustic guitar or light strings would be ok too. I used to play in a band, still play here and there, multiple guitars etc, home studio hehehe L8r pt8r !!
I love your videos, particularly the illustrations of deep ground. I just posted a short video/glimpse of what it really looks like. Keep up the good work 😎
Bethanga Goldfield and Dart River Goldfield in the North east of Victoria have some interesting relics of quartz processing. roasting calcining and chlorination.
@@goldfieldsguide Bethanga is easy to get to Dart River is very remote 4wd only. some nice old machinery in there though. Bethanga had a book written about the early days of mining . I think it was called '' A Poor Mans Diggings '' or something like that.
That would be fantastic, send a message to the Goldfields Guide Facebook page if you’d like and we can chat about it 🙂 I’d love to check it out 🙂 cheers
It's cool to think about all the ways and means that people went about doing stuff over the centuries, of all the local life and history, very informative thanks!🖖🦘
Your knowledge on the gold fields is mind blowing you should have a Doctorate with what you know..................
Thanks Rodney, I’m very very interested in mining history 🙂⚒

Ah cool! It’s a beautiful place, with so much interesting history 🙂
heaviest nuggets the world has ever known came off the Clunes district, are they chillies?
Every day we are learning few thinhs
Im in love
I need to have a cigarette. 😅
No one on You Tube knows or tells the story of gold better than you. The rest are just boy's in men's undies. You do our nation proud.
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 cheers
