Australia's Rare Gold Specimens | How We Find Them!

[@MerchantMarineGuy]

Surprised you can find any gold with that detector with the giant brass balls you’ve got hanging around

[@trevdyer173]

I thought it was that cold one time that it froze them off

[@gadzee506]

Hahaha

[@ut000bs]

The 6000 isn't the best gold prospecting detector (my opinion) on the commercial market for nothing. It even has a brass balls discrimination setting.

[@tranquilvortex]

Your "It's Gold!" face makes me feel that there is at least some joy left in this shitty world. So glad you are finding your treasure!

[@SkateSoup]

20:20 "that is what I call a specimen" that is what I call an absolute unit, lovely find man.

[@barsos1]

I love your bottle as jo to me is jollene my late wife who passed away in 2020 at 45 years young and we both loved your vids and depression is a real thing as you know so f$%k the haters we love what you do keep it up and give fern a big hug from us your mats jas.

[@markfryer9880]

Quite the adventure today Chris! Good to see that you and Gadzee pulled up some colour and the lovely Miss Fern had a grand old time! Mark from Melbourne Australia

[@RICDirector]

LOVE THE LONG VIDEO!!! Well done, and so much fun watching you have fun!

[@leighanncronin6905]

No one, and I mean NO ONE, can make digging in the dirt, as fun and exciting, as you Chris❣️❣️❣️❣️ AUsome video Chris, Gadzee & beautiful Fernie!🥰 BTW, I LOVE your T-shirt..."Do Not Pet, Seriously"🤣😉

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Great stuff Chris Looks like the small coil on the 6 is a goer cheers Glenno. 😎😎👍👍

[@audigga4396]

Endurance and diabetes are not a good match for finding gold. I need to have a few breaks during the day! I got bogged on my last trip and learned what not to do :) Not found any nuggets yet but getting better results panning thanks to your videos. Many thanks for taking me on your adventures😁

[@Aco747lyte]

That hole at 10:19 or thereabouts could house a rattler, or a scorpion which is why for precaution we always put in some flaming grass and twigs. That detector is great. I've had my GPZ700 since it came out and a couple of replacement coils later, paid itself back and is still going strong. Good vid!

[@madman2]

30mins of pure excitement! Woooooohooooooo, MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS PLEASE! Keep on smashing it boys

[@piratescrew1869]

What, no gravy. Awsome video Chris, they just keep getting better! Looks like you have a lot of exploring to do! Looking forward to seeing your next adventure out there!!

[@brandonjackson1434]

That is so cool to have old mine site to find ,it looks like a great time hunting them out at then finding the good stuff,thank you for the adventure,I can't wait to see what's in the mine with the water at the entrance

[@tonysmith5924]

Your videos when you’re at old workings are great! You must spend a lot of time out there just to get the clips you show us ! Keep up the great work!👏👏👏

[@gold-diggersanonymous1085]

got up at 05:30 and came home about 00:30. all for around 0. WTF gramm of shiny... worth it? Totally!! 31:04 of Vogus prospecting... yeah buddy, we have the endurance too!!! Br safe Chris!

[@livingadamman7994]

Your videos have improved heaps, easier to watch and very informative. Great channel

[@davidraines1380]

Bring it on my brother. Can’t wait to see the rest of the gold come out

[@insidebendprospecting]

Really enjoyed this longer format video, awesome to see you exploring some old mines. Oh yeah and nice gold!

[@jamesschank3833]

Ive had a fisher cz3d about 25 years now, my favorite metal detector i own f a half dozen, great Treasure Hunter! I find paystreaks, Chris, a scoop of fine gold connected from washing into an area. I put that scoop into a bucket & move on to pan it at home. Sure beats diging 6 feet holes with a drywasher!

[@davidhandyman7571]

Fascinating. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jonathannorthup5705]

Hey bud I just wanted to say thank you for being one o those I don't do this very often guys 😁👌 one o my favorite things about you is how you are not trying to push people to follow you 😁👌

[@brianw4brian]

At 18:20 try the falcon md20 detector for gold in rock.

[@robosock380]

Great vid mate. Thanks for showing how much of a multipurpose tool the Manscrape system really is. I never would have thought to use it for scraping out gold from the dirt before now. Nice haul, and stay safe out there mate.

[@krakhedd]

If I see a spider, I try to catch and release outside. You wouldn't catch me dead walking into a mine in Australia w/ 1,000,000 or so spiders though, Chris!! :D All that iron you picked, now I know where it all went, cuz you've got cajones of steel amigo!! hehehe I hope you and Gadzy and Mick can work some of these old mines sometime. If you're pulling specimens like that out of their waste piles, there's probably a profitable business awaiting you guys. I know you do this as a hobby, but it'd be great to see you guys able to do it full-time, and of course share the videos with us so we can watch your efforts and progress!

[@nicholasbrown2707]

Love the leprechaun jig when you get excited lol always have the endurance for your videos 🔥

[@willcoon371]

Love the Clarkson quote

[@SavageProspecting]

Awesome Chris, how good is it when all your hard work pays off🙌. Cheers Lee.

[@stevepratley]

Also beware of Combat Wombat's....! Great video mate.

[@budklw]

Hey Chris! Those days when it rains on you, I call them "Stinky sock days". That's when the rain drips off your head, runs down your back, through the crack of your butt and into your boots. Makes your socks stink! Hope you enjoy the humor and happy hunting!

[@joemenzies47]

love your videos. love your dog. love your gold!

[@coreycantrill5751]

i enjoy the longer videos. keep up the good work broski

[@TonyWalker-e9m]

enjoy yourself, have fun and keep up the good work. Glad you found so much gold.

[@goldsucheselbstdarstellung]

What beautiful pieces 😀 And the old mines are very interesting thank you for taking me Good gold and lots of joy

[@firstnamesurname1743]

Great video. The slightly longer format was just as enjoyable (if not more) and there was no 'dead time' at all.

[@jefftruax77]

Good video man... Enjoyed watching it... I wish i lived in Australia, so much to do... Gold, and opal... I would be very busy

[@JDD-kw8ze]

Always like the content and state of mind of getting out there and just doing all the research to find these spots ! A lot of work to get these videos out there ! Great job Sir !! Keep it coming ! :-)

[@699hazard]

Don't worry about the snakes it's the wombats that are dangerous especially in a mine, And don't play Jenga with the rocks holding up the mine ceiling.

[@debhester8665]

Such a great adventure and some of those specimens are really pretty

[@thomasmckay9878]

Persistence pays off

[@jonathanbrewer3051]

Wow! What a great video! I’ll be back out prospecting next week, if the weather is good enough. There’s been a ton of flash flooding in the creeks out here in Colorado near where Shane lives. Lol I know you know who I’m mentioning, to make it easier for you to bring to mind. Love the documenting that you do man! Keep up the great finds and entertainment! Much love and respect bro!

[@mickelramsey8548]

Really like this video very fun to watch keep up the great work

[@richardhumphrys7907]

Great Video ! Just shows the detector is a great tool when used correctly.

[@terry8728]

I’m coming in late to the conversation, but just had to say, fascinating vid Chris! 👍

[@stevenkelley9025]

Hey Chris, did you ever think of pumping the water out of the old mines to run a sluice? Looks like there ought to be enough to give it a good try. All you would need is a longer intake hose. However, you pump may not be big enough for the job! This is just a thought my friends and I had.

[@Mini_DragonYT]

Love the longer videos!

[@bozzagoodsell310]

That's awesome man ,good work

[@MadMarlin1964]

Dudes, that sharp edged specimen looked so cool. Can we see what it looks like cleaned up? Loved the extra time on this episode and was great to see Gadzee out and about with you. The scenery was gorgeous and some really great postcard shots in there too.

[@emilyjayne77]

Check your temperature 🤒 I think you two have GOLD FEVER 🥵 can’t wait till you go back. 🥳🥳

[@subvet694]

Research gives you the edge, mate👍

[@dylanjames4537]

Gotta love smashing the same spot the old timers did well in too those reefs have lots left to give

[@sniped3359]

great video with finding those mines, cant wait to get out soon with the gpx6000!

[@trub420]

by endurance you mean power through your 31+ min vid . oh hell yes!

[@ANIMAL168]

That was so frickin cool. Benny

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Well what a good area you have found and you both will be busy with all those species , your new coil is surely going to pay for itself. Very unusual to come across an old mine not marked on any maps now there's a bonus for you lol .

[@petten33]

Just be careful, Chris. Much love, bro.

[@GramCanyonSam]

This is such a great video

[@jamesolson4420]

Ripper video mate. Thanks

[@markholland5767]

Well done

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

I wonder how the Gold Monster would work at this site? Very nice work. Love your videos.

[@PatriceTaylor-u4i]

You might try metal detecting in the road through the working. Chris Ralph found almost 4 oz. of gold that way. Check out his video about prospecting the areas most people ignore. Very interesting video!

[@codybess74]

Here in Gold Country California it's getting about just as hard to find good gold as well. But... occasionally hard work pays off. One time I cut my thumb while I was picking from a wall full of quartz. Week later I was told by the doctor that had to drain the infection that I had a "Felon of the Right Thumb" !! I don't wish that pain on anyone!! Not exactly sure what caused my "Felon" but ... Wear gloves when ever possible.

[@moth5853]

chris just wondering if you noticed the eye shine when you were in the mine

[@gadzee506]

Wish you would do longer videos gaawd :)

[@secretstreamsandfeverdreams]

Blahahahaa found the wild gadz amongst the comments! You tell him! Lol

[@openmicsandacts]

Thank you for all your videos. I found you by accident and love the content and information. As well as the daft hounds I also found a channel called Rcsparks studios gold and think you might like it as a chilled out different perspective to the have to find lot's and it's life or death mindset

[@goldrushau8425]

Very good

[@annadenaro9919]

[@paulsdogwalking]

heck ya, way to go bro

[@lucpeterberry8429]

I was panning when you posted this video today and had zero luck. Can you recommend some places

[@Burntbc2546]

Can you revisit the first mines in this video. The one with the water floor and explore deeper

[@robertschick7854]

Those are really nice specimens. Now maybe put those in those in some CLR leave them for a day or 2,for about a week and see what comes out. Just an idea. Your doing great

[@issiahpickle3552]

Could you do a video explaining the difference between quartz and quartzite? I’ve got a creek that flows in my backyard and I’ve pulled “crystals” out, I’ve been told they’re herkimer diamonds, quartz, quartzite and other things but I’m not fully certain on these

[@RICDirector]

The Crystal Collector might have something on that...

[@gadzee506]

No sorry my last name isn't gade

[@petertillotson6347]

would they had smelted the gold they found if it was all fine stuff and somewhere around there is a forge for smelting the gold somehow?

[@1983zoe]

What is the metal pot called that you smash the stones in please?

[@auca]

very good video. i thought the doggie might fall down some mine hole and never appear.

[@ssnerd583]

Mate, I dont watch too many of these kinds of channels but I hope you find pounds and pounds of great gold.

[@mp6756]

I know you love your dog and I'm sure your dog loves you back. However telling your beautiful dog " I'll will be right back" doesn't qualify as letting someone know of your location. Be safe good luck on your adventures thanks for taking us along.

[@stupidminotaur9735]

ok this might sound stupid but would peeing on/in the little spot would that help see/get to the gold or would any iron in your pee miss up the metal detectors? 1. of course after peeing dont put any gold in your mouth. 1.5. the pee would wash away the dirt and clay. 2, always metal detector the stone/rock wall old timers make i know so many people who've gotten gold out of them 2-3 gold nuggets out of a six foot section. at 12:18

[@MadMarlin1964]

Now this would make for an interesting video. I don’t think Chris or Gadzee, have enough pee, not to mention stream pressure, to clean all the rocks they dig. Que the Benny Hill Theme.
