$17,000 of Gold Found After 3 Days In The Wild!

You see the plan was simple, get in and explore one of Tasmania’s most inaccessible rivers. A place where no one has been since the old timers left over 100 years ago..
But as time would tell, its never that easy..

Certainly one we’ll never forget mate, it’s no wonder I’m struggling with my mood this winter after our highs we’ve had. I’m just a junkie for those experiences again once I’ve had a taste 🤪. Just gotta remember to be grateful to have them hey very fortunate to have our health and ability to do this.

[@CarlosLopez-zw9wo]

I think it's time to bring you boys 😁😉 where the real youth is at 😂 just playing! But with the family there you guys are unstoppable force, which you need for those big rocks!

[@gregnz1]

just take each day as it is, need to buy metal detector to add to the fun, I regret not learning to surf at Raglan, like Elvis surfed in his four movies. Thats a Chick flick theme movie Cold Weekend.

[@ethantodd4400]

You guys rock, every video you both drop is like Christmas morning for me... Keep your head held high brother, you bring joy to many... Much ❤️

Awesome catch fellas! Love yall's vids!👍

Health is key

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

I just love a Rob Parson's feel good video, and it's double the feel good video when Levi's in it too. I'm so happy for the two of ya. It couldn't have happened to two better ol' Tassie Blokes in the whole wide world. Way to go guy's. A super fan from East Tennessee, USA ❤😊

[@frenchys_prospecting]

I also love how cinematic Rob's videos are. He clearly puts a lot of thought and effort into each video

[@goldendredger]

I grew up in a small mining town in Northern California. A river called the "Feather River". It's a decent sized river not a creek. The miners when they first arrived where getting 2 ounces per PAN! This account is in numerous mining journals and the history books. Once the shore gravel was down to a few nuggets per pan they went big. They built a water flumes large enough along stretches of the river to divert all the river water into these flumes built of wood. This would let the main river be exposed to mine completely. Then they tear down the flumes move sections and rebuild to do the next stretch of river. They pulled out thousands of ounces in gold. A fella names Granville Swift was the head claim holder and guy running the show. It's said he brought home hundreds of pounds of gold. Which he buried in numerous places and gave large boxes of gold to his sister and her husband. The sister buried 2 chests of gold in a creek near where they lived in the valley. The creek flooded one year and washed those 2 chests away. So it's said 100 plus pounds of nuggets are in that creek from the feather river. Granville hid gold nuggets in the walls and in footings of his house. He had the largest cattle heard in California. A flood happened then a very cold storm right after freezing the valley and all the water. The entire heard died that winter. So Granville loaded his gold and family members and moved to Sonoma California. Where he built a giant mansion. With ranch houses all over the property and a huge ranch house for the sister. That ranch still stands today. 80 pounds of nuggets have been discovered by workers over the years that Granville hid. One bag of gold was in the fireplace rock. They where remodeling the fireplace and out pops the bag of gold about 10 pounds hidden inside the cemented rock fireplace. It's been found in walls and under the foundations. This gold was from an incredible time when an ounce of gold was worth about $10 to $12 an ounce. The first settlers that where getting a few ounces per pan where only getting $2.00 an ounce at the mining camp! That's how abundant the gold was. Now the gold is there but we have to work hard for it. Move big boulders and work deep crevices. And get nowhere near what you fellas are getting . Amazing work. Keep it up. Building your retirement fast!

[@derekwinterburn71]

Nothing like having a great mate sharing the adventure… memories made, stories to tell and the gold was the icing on the cake.

[@Philip_Taylor]

A lot of channels (pawnbrokers, etc.) make 10x more money from views than they do from their trade. Therefore it's all a charade. The good part about you is that the subject of the channel is the manner in which you make the money, and the returns from views are just a cherry on top. That is why your content has that personable, legitimate feel. What a life it must be to pull gold from under the water -- thank you for all the great videos man.

Shame they can’t sell that gold

[@wingnutbert9685]

@@bear1245 Why can't they?

[@phranque2781]

​@wingnutbert9685 Tasmania laws, all gold found is the property of the commonwealth and they can claim it any time they like so its illegal to sell

@@phranque2781so what do they do with it? Of course they're selling it.

I’m glad you also noticed the natural beauty of that place as well as all of the gold. Every episode I watch i just think it looks like a land before time stunning place. Thank you for sharing 👍👍🙏🇬🇧

[@troygerencer1620]

We have Many beautiful rainforest areas like this in Australia , even close to Melbourne . They are well worth a visit for tourists to see and experience , just got to watch where you walk in summer as snakes are often found close to these creeks . If your not hunting gold , the Trout fishing in areas like this is off the charts . 👍 🇦🇺

Wow that's a crazy amount of gold, well done guys. Always a treat watching both channels. Greetings from South Africa.

We're in the NC mountains. In our area, the old-timers found a lot of gold. They were planning on washing down a mountainside, but the Civil War broke out, so it never happened.

[@ericr385]

Rob, I really love your work. When you commented how lucky you are to be in environs more beautiful than you could garden and you get to come pick gold out of the bottom of it, I was stunned and envious-ish. I would be supremely delighted by that experience.

My Dad (96)went mining for gold with his Dad. He reckoned an ounce a week was considered good wages.They worked the creeks in east Gippsland during the '30s. He still uses the price of gold as a measure of the economy.

Found your site by chance, love seeing/hearing your excitement (the muffled joy underwater)when first seeing a nugget. The scenery is majestic and just watching you both out in the wilderness on your own is enticing. Im 60+ living in outer London wishing I could have a go at that. Keep it up, great videos!!

[@adamhofman4933]

You guys have got me interested. Just bought a wetsuit, snorkel and googles. I’m in Victoria, going to have my first crack at it this weekend. I took some dirt out of a creek that was difficult to get to a few weeks ago and noticed some good bedrock and a heap of gravel covering a heap of crevices. there’s an old adit above the creek. Don’t think it’s been worked for a very long time. Wish me luck!

[@f1nch1312]

Y'all got MY heart racing! What an awesome trip!

[@marlenemeinhard8956]

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos Rob and Levi. The places you go are just breathtaking. That alluvial gold is amazing. But I love the Treks you go on to the areas of the minors so long ago. The ditches they dug out in the forest and the caves and Addits down the steep sides of the rocky hill sides. I find it all so fascinating. Thanks for sharing these wonderful gold packed and more cool journeys. From the States in the Great Lakes.😊

i once went hiking about 29 years ago along the hardwood river and hard wood creek which joins the davey river all the way down to gold diggers beach bed rock every where swallow and deep bedrock did a bit of panning and in one day found 1/4 once in a 10 by 10 area always planned on going back but never made it due to health problems love to see you Rob and Levi go down there and find what i couldn't return too . another creek was Dark eddy creek

[@smokeandkippers]

[@davidstatham7760]

Well done Rob, you & Levi make a great team in finding gold 👏 👍.

[@joshwells4020]

You two should build a micro dredge out of 4-6" PVC pipe or kayak stabilizers with a micro high banker mounted on top. Rig up a pump and suction device. You could use 12v power and a solar geni for recharge. You could easily pack that in with your camping gear. It would be easy to move around the creek. You could process so much more material, and you would recover more gold that you miss by eye sight. I would reckon you would probably have increased your gold recovery from that weekend by 30-50%. 😮😮😮 Cheers boys, love the vid!❤
