CHUNKY Gold is Found on This Creek!

CHUNKY Gold is Found on This Creek!
During the gold rush of the 1800s the sluice boxes and gold wash plants did not have the abilities to break apart clays. This means a lot of the bigger chunks of gold, that are dense enough to sink deep into the clays, are able to be found in creeks and rivers today where the old tailings piles are eroding.
On this trip i look for gold on Nugget creek using my gold pan and sluice box and walk away with hundreds of dollars of gold and little pickers!

Your front tooth is now made out of gold, but it must have a symbol on it. You must choose either: - pepper pig. - bluey.

[@kengilmore4384]

Peppa pig

[@caseybeckner2625]

Bluey

[@48thstateprospecting]

I haven’t been prospecting since last September and I can guarantee if my tooth was gold I’d have smashed myself in a face with a hammer and panned the eff out of it….

[@danieltaylor6489]

I'll take a Pepper Pig... Oink. .Oink.. Snort.. Snort

Bluey. She’s an Aussie. 🇦🇺

I love the hundred buckets challenge, very cool idea! Been watching from bucket one!👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@VoGusProspecting]

Sluicing for gold gave me the idea 💡 great series

[@shineyrocks390]

All gold should be measured in consumable foods 😂

[@VoGusProspecting]

Well, its a scale of sorts

[@joecolosi1795]

Keep all the gold, tin and lead and give a weight of all 3 at the end of your 100 bucket event

[@VoGusProspecting]

That's basically what I'm doing except for the tin.

[@TG.34295]

I think you need another no name bucket and another classifier and run 2 buckets at a time. You should nearly double your productivity.

[@VoGusProspecting]

I would do that! But I often forget to bring everything, like my scoop, water and an extra bucket

[@TG.34295]

How long have you been doing this now, Chris? You should have it all figured out by now and have everything packed up for a rapid response for good weather! Mark from Melbourne Australia

[@goldenpolack]

Awesome video man, the flour gold adds up but the chunkier gold is more exciting to find. I'm always excited to see what you post. Mine your business 💪

[@VoGusProspecting]

I like both for different reasons

[@goldenpolack]

@@VoGusProspecting tru dat, tru dat lol. For me, if I'm getting 50-100 colors of flour in a pan it's just as exciting as getting chunky stuff.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Absolutely, those magic pans where you get 500+

[@goldenpolack]

@@VoGusProspecting hahaha yes! There you go talking dirty gold miner talk 😁

[@jasoncunninghambluejmc]

When u mentioned crushing EVERYTHING in the sluice I thought that was a GREAT idea. Imagine all the concentrates through the eons that didn’t have visible gold and people just discarded them! To this day there are piles of non visible gold across the world where placer mining has taken place.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Yeah man, I'm doing that as a stand alone episode

[@kylereardon6242]

You get more gold in 1 bucket than I would doing the 100 bucket challenge.

Loved those chunkies in your pans, Chris. If I had enough of them I'd deck my smile out with such delights and, of course, there'd be a turquise and onynx Bluey! Loved the ADHD Montage! Been looking at some geological maps of NE Victoria and trying to work out how the original folding and uplifting from the west, plus the galcial effects you often mention, those that deposit moraine in and around the river systems and am wondering if you'd like to comment a bit more on these in relation to gold deposits you encounter evidence of, in your videos as you look for further gold.

[@JossWaddy]

I admire Gadsy's commitment to the scientific process; maintaining a healthy scepticism until a hypothesis has been tested. "I think there are some sticks there as well." *tests sticks* Premium stickage identified. This is why you two do so well at this gold prospecting malarkey.

Yknow, if you're not finding gold with the superchamp pans, you can always take a frolf break! Crazy how chunky gold adds up fast, nice job man

[@Gaming.with.Benjamin]

I miss seeing fern in your videos :(

[@48thstateprospecting]

Heck ya them chunky monkeys added up to a big ol heap of bananas (you said to measure it in food so….) great episode thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. the bigger gold is farther downstream on an outside bend it takes a while for the clay to break down in flood waters and it’s moving fast so go downstream a ways find a good outside bend and get those bigger pickers.😬 (trust me but don’t tell anyone the secret eh)

[@adventures-with-joe]

Gadsy, I'm pretty sure Chris just started his KZbin channel to cover for him talking to himself. Now he's got you doing it too... Peppa Pig

There is nothing more fun than having your friend looking for the shiny and I think maybe you find more shiny when your friend or just maybe you find Les because you are having fun with your friend sitting back having a few beers hey you probably don't show on video but you know what I have fun with my friend and I drink a lot of beer and I still find it shiny so you two enjoy yourself that's what it is all about enjoy having fun drinking beer maybe start up a barbecue sometime while you're doing it fry up some chicken
