Enjoyed that Ned, well done mate, gonna head down the Rocky soon and if you are up to it maybe a bit of a meet up if you are keen. Just got back from the Yuba river, California and got a little bit of Au, Thanes creek this weekend. Should be a good one, got a little spot out there. Let us know if you want to. Cheers Brad

I''m a fellow prospector in Idaho, Montana and Western U.S.A, do you use manganese as a indicator to find high grade pockets.Old literature late 1890's and early1900 talked a lot about how gold could be put into solution , by natural sulphuric acid form lets say pyrite, manganese and some salt in the rocks not much say 4 pounds per ton. When you lost the ground water then they would be a pocket of gold and or silver.-it was a successful guide for prospecting the Idaho Batholith for gold and many districts found there.

Gold Hunter, Triple AAA video, the first one of yours I've seen, and learned much from the video and the comments also. Sulfides have me perplexed, but thanks to your video, I've learned so much more. In my adventures, I've picked up a few hundred pounds of rock with visible sulfides and gold, I have a pestle and mortar, but I need a dolly pot! I have a 6' diameter fire pit I made for burning bark, twigs, and rubbish from selling firewood and also branches from winter storms and scrap from lumber from projects I build, or refurbish. Last fall I had debris to burn and with a bonfire, I thought I would throw that rock in as I burned to roast the "rubbish" as you termed it and I raked the rock inwards keeping it in the coals as everything burned down until I could get close enough to start pulling the rock out and had a pail of water to throw them in thinking the thermal shock would fracture and make them easier to crush later with mixed results, however, I recently saw a video from VoGus on KZbin and he used a blower to add air and get extra hot which I have but didn't think of at the time and instead of throwing into a bucket of water, he dumped vinegar out of a jug onto the rock itself which he then crushed(?); it really looked like he was crushing chalk from the teacher's blackboard. I haven't done this yet, but I will soon this winter I will use a bucket with a gallon, or two of vinegar since it is cheap and I don't want to waste it, and I have maybe upwards of 20- 50 pounds of high grade with little veins and specks and also it looks like gold enriched silica coating this fragmented rock in area's, kinda like an electroplating done by nature and since the rocks are smaller and maybe specimens I'll use charcoal and a cast iron pan in my charcoal grill in much smaller batches directly from grill to vinegar bath so I don't boil all the vinegar out like I was doing with the pile of rock at the bottom of my fire pit and the bucket of water. I have never roasted sulfides before and now know I didn't get that rock hot enough, but mainly I wanted to make the rock easier to crush and maybe roast the sulfides at the same time, not. I am going to do my best stuff on the grill and see how that works keeping the gold natural and not pounded flat. I need to watch the video again of VoGus because I think he was just trying to make rock easier to break rather than roast sulfides and he was picking little lumpies out of what was solid rock. I believe Vogus is in Australia also; you prospectors from Australia rock! If I can get it hot enough I shouldn't have to redo the sand-sized sulfides, but probably will anyway and I would have thought the magnetics were like black sand out of a river- and set them aside until watching your video! I'll let you know how my experiment works out and do you think there is anything in the rubbish? I've subscribed and will watch the rest of your videos before I pester you with too many questions, thank you for this one. A Heads-up, I left Jeremy a sarcastic comment on one he left you from a year before, I hope you enjoy it!

well i've had worse days than that lol, any gold is a bonus when your out bush.

Is it only gold with this method what about everything else?

Adds up and maybe that camper has gone just got back from PNG myself

A day in the hills prospecting and you got gold to boot! I call that a great day.

Plans are just that, it is how you deal with the situation that counts. Still got some colour and did some testing. Cheers Andy PPA

The last time I got to plan C was in 2006. Luckily it turned into an adventure instead of nearly a disaster. The next step, if needed, was calling for rescue.

I'm glad you got back out to the trenches. 😅 Straight up good old prospecting, sir. It's really fun to see the work others did and what was left behind. Well, you certainly found a bit there. There must be a few concentrations around there. I hope you can find some. Really good trip Nev, thanks brother 🙏 Peace Prospector Tripp

Great to see your getting a little colour mate. Heading out with a couple of mates this weekend for a few days, going to bloody cold I bet.

Looked like thicker gold not just flat flakes

Good hunt mate and encouraging signs. Cheers 🍻

Yep that knife will kill ya with tetanus 😂 gold is same but different for everyone thanks for sharing 😎
