Bunnings door mat gold sluice finds gold

In this video I was looking to use something like carpet but ended up going to Bunnings and finding a door mat which looked perfect for what I wanted for running a gold sluice and I also talk about a coil which I’m finding small and deep gold. #gold #goldprospecting #goldpanning

[@buffalokrisgoldprospecting]

Oh yea. That's what I'm talking about That's a great spot. And that door mat is made out of miners moss. That's perfect. Super nice gold brother

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Well done Glenno. The old Bunnings door mat trick. Certainly worked well for you. Got some nice bits on the mat and detecting. Good show 😁👍👍

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Well the wind stuffed me a bit but the miners moss mat was great just a bit to setup cheers Glenno

[@BiggestKev1960]

G'Day Glenn, Good idea Glenn, I use a Door mat in my sluice purchased from Bunnings. You should have grabbed a bag of sand while you were there😂. That's a mighty pan of Gold to, thanks for sharing your adventures. Cheers Kev

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Kev 👍

Goodonyalegend....... I'm on Mid North Coast NSW and have learnt sooo much from you..been up behind Coffs and found my first colours..crouch has been a great tutor as well n hoping to catch up with him again soon. Many thanks Glen.... I'm off to Bunning! Ha Ian

Great stuff the Crouch it a top bloke and Glenraigh is a great place it’s just been burnt out from bushfires unfortunately

[@christophermartin2031]

That's a great idea Glenn 👍 , I just got back from VIC and same with toilet paper down there to . Look's like they had emptied there Porter lie straight on the ground instead of digging a hole and covering it up , discussing . Good way to bring parks and Wildlife on our back again, getting more areas shut down to the prospector .

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

These were families mostly not prospectors of fishers just enjoying the rivers so not sure how to get the message out to dig a hole for the family and just add ash after each crap

[@scottpearce4072]

Good on ya Glen love ya work 👍🏽

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Scott 😜😜😎😎

[@scottpearce4072]

I would enjoy another detecting video, I loved the one you done and spoke about how you and your dad use to spend time at, great memories for you in that video, you take care and I will be looking out for your next adventure you share.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Shall do

Great outcome Glenn. I was the guy you spoke to today at Bunnings. Great content mate. Wouldn’t mind tagging along one day if you want a buddy to come out with you

Thanks I did try that number but it was out of service I mostly prospect around Sofala and HillEnd as not much around hear but it’s a five hour drive to Sofala so if your keen cool

[@GrooberNedJardine]

Great day out Glenno , yeah , and ain't it been windy for a long time , it's really drying everything out . Very nice gold too mate . I've seen the Indonesians and Malaysian miners using a mat in the creek , they just pack mud on the creek bottom and lay out their mat , put 4 rocks on the corners and tip their material on the mat and wash it with the Batea pans and manipulate the material with their hands while tipping water over it , it works well . The old Bunnings Doormat works a treat , can't complain about the price either , lol 🤣. Nice haul of Gold too matey , gotta be happy with that lot , Excellent work . 👌👍✅ Cheers Ned .

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Ned I was surprised how well it worked once set properly

[@Ltn.Immelmann]

In the end, the principle of gravity always applies. The Indonesians also discovered it. Good video, Glenno. Right on, mate 🇩🇪⚒👍🤠

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Peter the doormat is very similar to miners moss and the better it’s setup the better it works with less loss

[@kiarawhalen1544]

It's not about what you lose, it's about how much you find! That's some nice chonky gold, well done!

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Yes your right the more u put in the more u get lol

turning a Bunnings door mat into a gold sluice-ingenious! Your DIY prospecting adventure promises a unique and creative approach to finding gold. Ready to witness the golden results unfold! 🚪💰

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

It worked really well once setup it’s like miners moss

[@andypandyAU.6669]

Hi Glen, Bunnings has been a good hunting ground for potential gold matts, V rubber non slip matts, the miners moss, etc even cheap alloy tool boxes cut up to make river sluices. Always looking for alternative product uses. Lovely colour at the end of the day.😊 Campers😪 that have no idea, we take a bucket , bag and a old dunny seat and lid. Seal the bucket with its lid, no smell no flys no spill. Then despose of it at home or approved waste dumps. Shits ya the way i always come home with more rubbish than I take !!! 😡 thank for the adventure

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks yes soon as I saw that miners moss mat at Bunnings I had to have a crack it took a bit to setup but wow perfect ,sad with the new generation families no plastic rubbish though but they could do better in the shit department but it was all along the river not just one young family

[@neilstleon6251]

Glen you are an awesome prospector and an absolute master of finding gold. And it's beautiful well deserved gold. Yes its a disgrace the way people trash the environment. I was out porters retreat last summer and the rangers had the river closed off and I could see why.. There was everything from babies nappies to cigarettes butts and beer bottles.. It's just pathetic.. And these same people call themselves patriotic aussies... What a load of crap. Keep up the great work and I'm definitely going to give those doormats a go to save lugging a sluice through the scrub. But I just need to master find the good gold spot as you already have.. All I ever seem to get is tiny specs and shotgun pellets 😅👍

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Speed test pans are the way to go on rivers and of cause leg work find a clay layer or behind large rocks or bedrock

[@michellekirk4312]

We use our Bunnings mat to clean up Rotapan tailings. When we set it up we will generally bring the edges up to make it have little sloped sides. Have also found that banging it out the next morning after it has dried gives up a bit more fine gold

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

I yabbie pumped around the back and no gold on the second run some very fine gold on the first run though

[@evannicholson2823]

Certainly more detecting videos please, and how about some rocker box action 😂 cheers mate, 👍👍👍

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Yes the rocker is coming out as I have a spot and I have a 8 nuggets hole plus sample taken video soon

[@JustinAlbert-ht9mc]

Nice mate

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks

[@adzoutnabout888]

Nice work mate, you always seem to find the good deposits on the river….. with hard work no doubt. Shame about the dirty grubs, they could have at least put rocks on their mess. Keep doing what you do 👍🇦🇺

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks it was really bad on the long weekend so many young families having a great time on the river no plastic that I could see but yes the turds on the ground and the farmers fence the next day with that wind well what can I say 😮

[@Chris-vt5zb]

Bloody ingenious well done 💯 those nuggets are amazing 😍 Such a shame people do this going to spoil it for others... thanks for sharing Glenn

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Chris glad it rained and got most of the paper off the fence

[@paulmadden7961]

Good idea there Glen, I also use this system always have a couple of spare mats on the floor of the van, the 14x9 is a nice coil that finds tiny bits, thank you for another great vid.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Paul that coil makes the 6000 a beast

[@ScotlandsGold]

Not sure where in aus you are,but that is a lovely deposit, and it looked like you had it all to yourself 💪🍻

In NSW near Bathurst

[@ScotlandsGold]

@@getdownanddirtyprospecting see you there😁

[@learnwiththekids]

The kids can have a mat each. 😅. Great idea thanks.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

They are great once setup properly they don’t lose much gold at all enjoy 😊

Wow, I'm off to the hardware shop.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Lol go hard and enjoy 😊

[@PetesGoldAdventures]

Nice work Glenno, you cleaned up mate, some great weigh in's there. I'll get a after market coil soon, just need to wait until after my Subs Day and I'll look into it, I've alway's been a Nugget Finder guy though, but I do like 14x9 in coils and NF don't have one yet, I believe there's one coming though. Good stuff mate and post your detecting vids. Cheers Pete

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Pete I have both nugget finder and Coiltek but that 14x9 gives some depth and gets the .03 pickers well not pickers just speaks lol

[@aussiegypsy6273]

The same material as marine carpet? Interesting. So portable.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Just like miners moss

My dad used car floor matts back in the 1950s

Yep seen some good ones over the years myself

[@garykallasmae997]

Glen as a new subscriber I would appreciate it if you put your nuggets on the scale too. I have a GM 1000 and sadly have found very little with it. Are you prospecting in the Golden Triangle or elsewhere? I really enjoyed the video about using a Bunnings door mat. Which detector are you using? Looking forward to watching all your videos. Thanks Glen. Gary.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Hi Gary I’m in NSW and I use the GPX 6000 with a gold hawk 14x9 and I think that is the best setup as it goes deep and can find smalls

[@mickellis8747]

Hay Glenn, Were you using the 6000, you didn't mention which detector.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Yep it’s a true beast with that coil

Camper manure eh....the aftermath of the Bathurst 1000 weekend I suppose.

No long weekend all young families enjoying a free camping by the river didn’t see any plastic though

Good thing bog roll isn't made of plastic then...

@@getdownanddirtyprospecting OMG - I have only once driven 3 hours from Melbourne to El Dorado and have found much better gold closer to home. For every hour I drive , I like to stay a day - so a 5 hour drive means staying a minimum 5 days

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Long as they don’t pin it on to us prospectors although anything like the toilet rolls dancing around, we prospectors will be labelled under the title as “Campers” and we lose our privileges to camp in the bush to carry out prospecting. Campers and others need to be vigilant about consequences of their filthy actions.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

It was the long weekend and most campers were young families,no plastics though and they were not prospectors or fishos just enjoying the river

[@garyarmstrong4597]

So maybe on there next camping trip they should pack a shovel. That would solve the problem. Anyway that is a major part of a prospectors kit. Maybe the first chance at the campers feelings to go prospecting. Lol

[@kaynef6637]

Lucky you didn’t find a big turd nugget 😂

Nearly walked on one as one had a little bit of tree bak on it
