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!👏👏👏👍👍👍

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

[@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.

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

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

Awesome video! Really fun to see all you experience and hard work paying off - and it really looked like you were having a gas capturing those chunk of gold. Wonderful video - and the weather looks pretty nice there! 👍👍

[@joannagrimmer]

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.

[@hobbieminers8487]

Good point about the specimens im going to start keeping a better eye on my heavys. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚒️

[@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

[@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.

[@hasmeadali7316]

Challenge is going great. Go get em Chris. Tell Gadzee to stop hopping around and get serious. Stay safe out there and gold bless you always

[@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.

[@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)

[@williampendergrass186]

Great day on the creek with CHUNKIES.
