Thank you for your shout out mate your a top bloke. I can not wait to see how the audience respond when they see it. Also here is the link to my channel mate. kzbin.info/door/h0uijCtsiv7PlQ3SkY5Fiw

[@VoGusProspecting]

I dont know why but every time I past it in the description it re links it to the KZbin home page. I'll pin this!!

[@PsychoTB48]

Awesome cheers mate let me know when the mailman drops it off

[@TwoToes]

Great save on the day! It won't be long before the heat will drive you into the water. I don't worry about the cold, I figure the current will kill me first. lol

[@VoGusProspecting]

I love that logic

Two toes! You're the man! We gotta get Chris out to California 🤠

[@TwoToes]

That sounds like a great plan!

[@cjsoutdoors4412]

Nice video Chris, but Im really looking forward to seeing you sniping. Cheers!

[@Smithsgold]

Nice job on the video !!! Pretty good Gold too !!!!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

I just love your videos dude and I’m an agate person, I don’t even look for gold, but the nature, the Aussie-ness, the brilliant editing and story telling anddddd the knowledge sharing!!! just a pleasure to watch man. Plus the gold. Thanks for all the work you put in dude 👌 It is indeed an art form.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks mate, I don't know enough to go rock hounding so I stick to gold. That's easy.

[@ecnavttocs]

Hey Chris, one of your patrons here. Just like to say how much I thoroughly enjoy your vids. I have learned a great deal from you. (Great tip with dirt to soak up the water.) You have entertained me with your candid easy style and the quirky stuff you and Grizzly get up to. I am moving to Victoria soon and my son and I are keen to get out there and have some fun and find some gold. ... You asked for feed back/suggestions etc, so here it is. I love to see the gram/ounce tally at the end if possible. So glad you have not got too carried away ( as a lot of you tubers do) with fancy special effects such as revolving camera , collapsing shots into funny colours and twisting stuff etc,.... makes my eyes go funny and I just want to turn it off. A little is fine but what I want is the close up of technique, ( like your great shots with crevicing in this vid ). The how to, where to, when to, etc... on prospecting, mining and the tools used. ( which by the way I think you have been doing well) And the perspective view of what and where you are working. The drone is a great addition..... Maybe panning up to the horizon ( pun intended) for more perspective would be good. Love to see the geology of each area. All this helps the viewer get a feeling for the terrain and sense of place . Keep up the great work Chris. Cheers

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks for the feed back, I hope you both find some! I do most of what you mention at different stages in each video but rarely together as its not possible to fit it all in.

[@bryonmason6330]

For this type of work a small portable vacuum would come in handy.

[@Pegdrag]

Yup...they work like a dream. Suck up in the dirt and gravels, dump the water out, suck some more and repeat til the vacuum is full of concentrates, then sluice... sweet.

[@kenlyneham4105]

Your channel is like an addictive drug, I just can't get enough of it. I have even watched som a second time over, just to get my fix. Thanks for all the great work.

[@rockwasher7840]

Gary has told you in his videos, if they are not packed in tight, Not likely to produce. I have found the same true. Deep cracks packed, hard work more gold! 👍 great work keep teaching.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Not always true, ive found lots of gold in loose packed crevices. It more depends on water flow. If they are hard packed its a good indication that they are old and untouched but don't forget the crevices that accumulate gold in a transitional area

[@pattaylor4407]

I loved watching you cleaning out those crevices! I also love the forms the bedrocks take in this video-beautiful shapes! I love how positiveand funny you are in this video!

[@mattwaldman1086]

Great day by the creek with you, thank you for bringing us along!! Keep this up, don’t get frustrated and bogged down by formalities of episode numbers, do what you love, do what we all love doing.... living life outside, reveling in nature. I’m going out to a new creek (good probability of gold, I live in the exact middle of California) but I get to bring along my dad and my 9 yr old son, 3 generations in the creek!! Even if we find no shiny.... it’ll still be golden!! Good on you mate, keep living life how you want to.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Well said Matt Waldman! I hope your day with Dad and Son is a solid GOLD one : D

[@rockwasher7840]

You are killing me, I love to crevice and crack rock. Great stuff. From those of us were the gold is skinny and the flakes are few! Thank you! The teaching is good. The entertaining is the hard part! You got it!!! Best to you!

[@slackwaterplacer]

Though the season of regular programing is nice, I just enjoy watching you get out there enjoying your self and showing us the GOLD! It's -13c here right now, and the tiny bits of water and gravel have turned to cement. So please keep on keeping me dreaming of gold in the pan and next summer to come.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Ill try to keep the fever strong for you :-)

[@Andysfishing]

Nice fun video. I’ve been binge watching 2 toes all week. I know exactly what you mean about gold fever. Sad thing is I don’t think there’s any nuggets within a days drive of me.

[@joeljeffery8704]

Watched the same TwoToes video and I also got the fever, except we have over a 50" of snow on the ground. Watching you quelled the fever a bit. Beautiful gold, I didn't think you be sniping after the result of that first crevice. It was fun to watch you out there enjoying yourself. Thanks

[@mainemagic2351]

Hey Chris...sitting here in wicked cold KENNEBUNK Maine and I can relate to Gary Two Toes videos when he Snipes the river for gold...he is certainly a motivational inspiration...makes you jump off the couch!!! Also, this summer I had to use a turkey baster, got at dollar store, to empty out a crack full of water on the river. Worked like a charm and took care of the standing water easily...also I had a friend who gave me an old Long handle BQ fork with flat twines...that beauty did a great job getting into a few tight spots...got to stay creative when looking for gold...hugs from KENNEBUNK Maine.

[@6061lucky]

Gus great day. I simply love seeing you get to gold . I totally enjoy watching all of your videos and seeing you getting out to made them. I pray that you keep safe, in good spirits , and may your pan always be panning. God bless you with piece of mine that you made other life’s better.

[@lindenmansfield4801]

Nice one Chris, the thing i enjoy about your videos above all else is, being able to tap into the good vibe energy that comes across from when you are in your happy place, do what makes you happy mate, because we are all coming along for the ride.

[@axerxes3981]

Love the useful information you give... not to mention the good nature and humor you share. I'm new at this and you always make it interesting and fun. Best wishes.... Ax

Don’t worry to much about THE format. It is more surprising, gives more freedom and is creatively more challinging to invent something different every time. You’re doing great sofar. Love your video’s

[@Grinnij]

great video, thank you for all your content and inspiration, when i am able i think i will pick up this hobby again, i did it a lot as a kid when i was able to camp at these areas, but i quit doing it and this made me realise how much i loved panning and i think i speak for everyone when i say thank you for all your resources and content and i appreciate everything you make and im glad you keeping up with it and still making them best wishes.

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

great video as always Chris, what you need for those little gaps is a tiny little vacuum cleaner! and it got me thinking, I bet I could design one to be 3D printed!!!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Its been done man, seen a few youtubers do exactly that

[@lithiumvalleyrocksprospect9792]

Sniping is the best :) when you see that colour underwater, its unmistakable ... Sniped my first colour last week :):)

[@thisoneworks]

Don't stress yourself out by trying to stick to a "season" series. Just prospecting, move dirt, and using a high banker (my favorite and most interesting). Keep at it man.

[@GramCanyonSam]

Awesome mate. Looking forward to getting into some action myself in a couple of days. Also ordered that mini pocket sluice last night.

[@VoGusProspecting]

I hope you find a shit load

[@timareskog2418]

Hi Chris, mate you've definitely got a gift for making videos that are interesting, fun and educational to watch. Just keep going at what your doing and making the most out of your bush trips, as Season 4 can wait until your ready within yourself, we're in no hurry as we are just happy to tag along for the ride. Just 1 question though, at 13:47 - is that a "crack" or a crevice ?, and what were you doing with your finger ? 😉

[@pulesjet]

As a kid 17ish ? We use to get under the water like that. Those day are long gone for this ol man. I love the Crevicing thing though.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Crevicing is my favorite thing to do

[@2Qwk2C]

To be honest Chris, I just love what you do, so all you need to do is just keep on keeping on doing what you're doing. I think you got 10k subs because of it :)

[@doncross2666]

Great video Chris 👍keep up the good work. What I like about your videos Chris is your willingness to share your knowledge with others to help them find Gold 👍🇦🇺🍻⛏.

[@ScotlandsGold]

Nice tip! One day il see dry dirt:) if i had found those epic crevices first, sniping would be on hold. at least u made it in the water,if not by choice

[@beesncheese]

You have bountiful energy thank you, very enjoyable !

[@joekeil954]

I really don't understand why people don't make interchangeable nozzles for their hand dredges. Mine has duck-bill tips, super tiny tips and tips with varying sizes of flexible hose. Works absolute wonders on a crack like that.

[@chrismitchell5012]

Adding prospecting in Australia with Chris to my bucket list!

Great video Chris. Nice gold. Thank you for the tips and sharing. Peace ✌

[@VoGusProspecting]

[@sweetprospectingmining6187]

Great job as always bro :) would love to see more of your rock hound finds. It's a big part of prospecting here in snowy Michigan. Can't wait to see the #1 rockhound Grizzly back in action. Hope he's feeling better

[@VoGusProspecting]

Hes getting better slowly

[@davidkelly1298]

Sniping videos are my favorite of all of the prospecting videos I have watched. Two Toes has some good ones. Between yours, Andrews from Adventure Gold, Garry Two Toes, and Kleshguitars I have learned a lot about prospecting. Unfortunately I live in the poorest state for gold I think there is,Texas.

[@VoGusProspecting]

You might have to order some paydirt

[@Pegdrag]

Hey Chris, what can help with crevicing is a portable battery powered wet/dry vacuum. Because I feel that you left some shiny down in those cracks.

[@marychace1011]

That day looked like it was getting colder as it wore on.

[@mamakat4308]

Hey Chris, video idea... I was wondering if you could take apart your yabby pump and show us all the bits and pieces. This is only if you can get it back together of course 🧐🤔😎

[@VoGusProspecting]

Done

[@josephkolodziej3748]

Great tip about getting all the water out. I can't wait to try it. Love the channel as always😎👍

[@VoGusProspecting]

it is a really hand trick. Just don't dry it out too much because when its mud it sticks to your tools and you can get it out. To dry and it just falls off

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Hahaha, I seen that video of two toes as well last week and it definitely got me up and out there 😂🤙. Awesome man, keep up the great work and videos.

[@georgeredbranch652]

Wife walked past as you had your fall, she laughed, and said "this guy's as clever as you (me) when you're out near water" my firzt trip doing crevices was yesterday. Ended up in the drink, no gold found, stepped over a Tiger snake the thickness of my forearm. Came close to needing a bath before l got back in the Ute.

[@Matti_H_]

Butterfly syndrome .... happens to me all the time .... nice job 👍

[@Freespiritangel61]

I absolutely love the video Chris. It is ok to scratch a crack as long as it is your own LOL. You are too funny. It sucks when you lose your gold I felt your pain on that one. I know that some of the bedrock around here is super slippery specially if there is water flowing on it have to be extremely careful. It would be too easy to slip and bump or even crack open your head. You had a good time and that is what counts and the video was awesome Chris.

[@luvovror02]

17:11, I'm distracted by the two round wells in the rock behind you.

[@goldandgemstoneprospecting7347]

good to see you using those little hooks i showed you

[@VoGusProspecting]

They are so good!!

[@kathyscallan8338]

I enjoy all of your videos. Best part I am learning about panning for gold. Havenorder couple of pans to learn how to pan for gold. Also ordered pay dirt. To practice with. I know there is not much gold in the bags. Practice makes perfect. Rock On !!!. Happy Thanksgiving

[@blueleadgoldproductions133]

Those were some nice pans. No packed gravel in those crevices, but good yields anyway. I am looking forward to a sniping video that shows you pulling some nice pickers out of that section of the creek on a warmer day with full sunlight. However, if you want to snipe up some nice sized nuggets like Gary, you should consider shooting a series of travel videos on the Yuba, American and/or Feather Rivers in California's Mother Lode country. I am heading there for a couple of weeks in March to stake and file some claims. In March, the water will be too cold with too much current for sniping. However, I am also planning a second trip for three weeks of prospecting and recreational mining in August. When I get my claims filed, you will be welcome to do some sniping and filming on them. Aloha. P.S. Where was Grizzly?

[@NewfoundlandDetectorist]

Good idea, using the dirt to soak up that water.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Handy little trck. Just use enough to make thick mud so it sticks to your tools and you can get it out of the crack

[@RicardoSanchez-rd6wo]

[@pulesjet]

62 years of age and my health somewhat SUCKS but I still indulge in crevicing gold. If I can get in and out of the location I hit it . A little Falcon Detector sure helps. Tools of the Trade could be anything at hand. Kitchen Spoons, Butter Knives the lot. Don't forget your old crappy paint brush. LOL Just thinking out loud , you could have used that Yabbi Pump ? Spelling ? Filled with water to flush a pile of that material to one end of the crevice and get to that ?
