I had a dream the other night, I turned a 50cc kids quad bike into a remote controlled rock truck. Could be a premonition 🤔🤔 😆

Thanks heaps mate! Unfortunately we won't be able to trommel this gully, it's just way too far to carry in any serious equipment. Maybe if I had help from a couple of mates and we had quite a few days up our sleeves, but it would be a very serious mission. Usually taking in the detector, pick, tent, food and water is tough enough 🥵

Because that's usually the container we put all of our little nuggets and alluvial gold into to clean them up in the HF, but I also occasionally use them for other things, if my usual containers are full. Good spotting!

Agreed mate, I was low on steel at the time. But should have made it much larger. Hindsight hey 😆

@TheGoldmansChannel I hear that. Nice little setup. Few tweaks and tunes and you'll be sitting with a beer watching it do it's thing 😁

That's the goal 😎 it's been a slow process, but it's getting quite close now. Love the little setup

Depends which pump I have availible at the time, as I lend them out quite a bit. Worse case, is a 5hp Chinese 2x2" honda. Best case is the 5hp mitsubishi with an old dredge pump, but the Mitsubishi is only needed when I need to pump the water a long way above the creek, or it is too powerful to run over idle otherwise.

Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment mate, much appreciated. Yes I agree, we can certainly still retain our industry without destroying the environment around us. We've got some pretty crazy ideas about environmental protection these days, well overboard in most cases! As a bloke who lives in the bush (off grid on my own land), it's certainly in my best interest to respect it, and I believe I'm also obligated to look after it wherever I can.

Thanks mate!

Any adventure is better than no adventure 😁

It's just a piece of industrial matting that's been cut to size. The type of matting you would see in work shops or production buildings for workers to stand on, so they don't get sore feet standing on the concrete all day. Unsure of its name though sorry. But anything similar will do

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

This is unclaimed ground, you don’t want to draw a line to the “x” on the map!

Thanks Goose! I'll have a look at them, it would need some pretty serious wheels on it to tackle the terrain up there, but it's certainly possible. If development doesn't eventuate here, and I just end up working the reef recreationally, I will have to go down a route similar to what you suggest. Cheers!

@@TheGoldmansChannel Its called a Gorilla cart 115L or the 200L with a tipping poly top, I drag mine through the forest with a full load of hard wood, should save your back a bit mate.

Hey, they ain't bad! Good wheels and decent clearance, I could probably get away with using one of those if I cleared a heap of logs. Wouldn't be able to load it up too much because it's quite steep in places, but it's still much better than carrying it all out mate! Cheers for that

Howdy mate, thanks for tuning in and commenting. Lease costs vary quite a bit depending on their size and location. But you're very right, I've already had a great showing of interest from viewers offering to chip in and help. Theres lots more research and work to be completed before any serious decisions are made though. Although, it does look very encouraging so far!

@@NovoGold ok then. What an avo supporter lol

@@NovoGold yo wanker

No need for name calling here fellas, we're all on a different journey. Vogus has a different target audience than I do, so he creates different content, that's all 😁

Thanks Rod! It's nearly beginning to look like all the hard work might pay off. 😁 Fingers crossed!

G'day Heath, thanks for watching and commenting. Thank you also for the generous offer! This is the 4th offer I've had now, bringing the total funds offered to a bit over $7000! I certainly didn't expect such generosity so quickly from all of my legend viewers. My hopes are to find somebody in this state with experience in small scale hard rock, who has been through the whole process and can assist me through all of the legal business and invest some money into getting the show happening. So I won't be taking any money off anyone any time soon, but it's great to know the offer is there. Really appreciate that guys. Ive still lots more research and ground work to be completed before I make any serious decisions about the reef, but I will certainly keep you all posted as I progress. Thanks again mate!

@@TheGoldmansChannel First step is getting the lease to lock in your rights ASAP. You already showed yourself walking there, you don't want someone to snatch it from you. GET THE LEASE and once you do, post a buy me a coffee or patreon link. You are providing US with service so don't feel like you are begging. We are BUYING entertainment and excitement.

Thanks Andy! Lovely comment, deserves pinning. So far things are certainly looking good with this project. I actually just processed a second sample a few days ago, 76kg of material with a bit of the low grade centre rock also. Surprisingly I got a very similar result, I haven't melted it up yet, but I'd guess around 35gAu and 5gAg per tonne. Which is fantastic for a second sample with some dilution. Woohoo

@@TheGoldmansChannel good job mate, keep punching away 👍

Thanks heaps Begley clan, I'm feeling optimistic so far 😁😁

Glad I wasn't the only one 😉. Cheers mate!
