Detecting and prospecting in the Sofala Hill End district

welcome back to the channel. Here in this video I’m looking at using a detector in a creek to find lead which puts me on gold. Lucky to find small nuggets and a specimen. Hope you enjoy leave a comment like and subscribe.

2yrs later and hadn't seen this one . What a cracking day. That's what keeps me motivated. 👍

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks au

[@scottpearce4072]

I’m enjoying your videos, thanks for sharing Glen

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Scott

[@scottpearce4072]

As time goes on gold is getting a little harder to find as we get older and walking for miles on end gets harder. I’ve recently started up in your stomping ground as I’ve found it a bit easier going to enjoy my outings. Your videos fill the gaps between my trips and give me hope that there is some nice colour still out there. Take care and enjoy.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

I know what u mean Scott as I just had a day around Coffs and my legs are still saw so damp and slippery as well

[@donaldnicol8415]

I like how you are using the lead as your goal to find the gold!

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

And so much lead good to get out of the creek

[@ClarksCoveDetecting]

Some nice shiny you got and some good tips, thanks for sharing.

Top Video Glen, love the idea you have of running the detector over picking up the lead. Some nice gold and love the specimen.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Trevor 👍😎

[@Ltn.Immelmann]

I'm lucky kangaroos can't jump on me lol The lead is unusually large. I think of natural origin, not from firearms. Great stone with the colors. Could be a gold surprise. Hi Glenno, thanks for showing. ATB Peter 🤠⚒🇩🇪👍🍻

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Peter mostly shotgun pellets and a few bullets but that specie put a smile on my face for sure

[@GramCanyonSam]

Your theory is rite my friend ! Many days in California we go out to the big rivers and target hunt trash signals in bedrock cracks. They always pay out. Where the trash lays the pay stays !

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Love it the last comment lol 😆

Great job brother. The detector is certainly working good. Nice one bro

Thanks Charlie love doing it

[@andrewaltschwager5000]

Well done Glenno, nice specie mate.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Andrew it made my day 😊

[@robertbanks8076]

Good one Glen. I bought a Monster 1000 for just doing that. I use short pieces of fencing wire with a small piece of rag attached to the top. I detect down the stream for about 30 to fifty metres, placing the flags as I find targets, then turn around and look upstream to see where the pay line is. It works nearly 100% of the time, although the 4500 used to give me 100%. Heavier to cart around though

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Yes it’s great and clean the creek of that toxic lead

[@phillreid1827]

Awesome finds Glenno, you always get some good gold I can only hope to get half that might have to drop me hint when an where your going next so I can meet up haha..

Thanks Tyler that makes me a happy man lol

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

Wow how good is that specimen Glenno AWSOME man Congratulations on that find Yes using any detector to find any metal or lead is the way to go I have done it too in dry creeks as u say just mark it and come back and dig it up I had a guess at 2 g just out hahaha Cheers 🍻 CrouchOz

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Crouch I will have to do a specific gravity test as it’s so hard to know I might video it lol made that video at the same time I went in that mine

[@inquisitivealbertan1712]

Excellent video, Glen and Matt. Grats on the gold. Subscribed.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks it was a great place

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

gee it amazes me the amount of lead in these creeks and even from seeing on old timers diggings like crikey mate ! The mind boggles as to who was a bad shot way back when lmfao. Nice lot of gold by the way great species too. Those species are worth more as is so I hear from other sites Baragain lol. Look forward to more videos from you in the future mate take care and happy prospecting 😁🤑🤑🤑😅🤣😂

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Rodney just so much lead and I’m not breaking that specie up

[@Peacekeeper1966]

Thanks for another video from out Hill End way Glen. I've been spending a fair bit of time out there lately and hopefully I may bump into you one day. The water in the smaller creeks is getting unbearably cold now but my latest insulated gloves from Bunnings are a good thing. About a week ago at Nundle I located some very old gravels on an inside bend on the Peel and stayed in one spot and panned it for two days straight until the river came up overnight. That's Ok, plenty left for next time too.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Was going to head to Nundle Friday but went to the Coffs area instead because of the cold

[@Peacekeeper1966]

@@getdownanddirtyprospecting , yes Glen the season is against the warm blooded prospector. I live basically half way between Hill End and Nundle areas so when I head out, it's a look at the BOM site to make a decision to head north or south.

[@AMProspecting]

WOW Glen, you are certainly on the gold and the specimen is awesome. Great detecting work, some hard work and alot of fun with some nice gold. Watch out for the kangaroos, Thanks for sharing

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks that was one very big Roo shocked me and how fast he was going wow

[@AMProspecting]

@@getdownanddirtyprospecting stay safe out there my friend

[@PetesGoldAdventures]

Well done Glenno, nice haul of gold and the specie is a cracker, that creek is a nice one, Its got some good gold in it.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Pete happy day with that specie

[@rastaralph7154]

I've got a little beach treasure detector which was really cheap but gets the job done. It's only got one knob 🤣 I started out looking for places to look for gold by finding steel and lead and this takes me back. Since then I got a pin pointer and now search cracks and crevices and have great results. I'm happy to find anything even lead. great video and especially that specimen.❤️💛💚👍

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Rasta

[@TheFishingcartel]

4th nice day on the gold there old mate

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Matt

[@GR19611]

A great result and always an Enjoyable watch .Your thoughts on lead and gold together are sound , in the creek .

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Yes couldn’t believe how much lead in one pan though

[@neilstleon6251]

Tremendous Glen you are a master gold prospector. You are the best man at getting good gold out of that area these days with honest old world techniques 👍

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

I’m an old timer now I think lol

[@Ful-OGold]

Looks like good ground

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks full o gold

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Well done Glenno. I am really rapped for you. That is a mighty specie. We have been told in the shop that people use the gold monster to do what you did but this is the first time I have seen it done. I think it makes sense with what you did. Most people complain about finding soo much lead but for all your lead you are also finding fine gold that adds up. Bloody ripper mate. Well chuffed for you. Take care mate 👍👍😁

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Hi Andrew way to much ironstone for the monster in that creek it was the gpx 6000 but the specie made my day and a smile on the dial for sure

[@idiggold]

The old "Turn lead into gold". Very nice.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Lol wish I could

[@learnwiththekids]

Think we need a metal detector. 🤔 Nice video.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

I do like my panning lol

[@decvision]

I love to see gold in a rock. Sooo pretty.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Juzii yes stoked with that one

[@andrewfrost4764]

Wow Glenno that’s awesome mate. Thanks for another great video. I am curious to know how much gold is in that specimen, someone will know an easy way to estimate it ….

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks Andrew I only know of a specific gravity test and that end where the gold is is very heavy u can feel the weight

[@shanemiller667]

Nice job - i enjoyed the vid - i bought the little brother of your minelab detector - the gold monster 1000 - havent tried it yet - do you know if they are any good

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Some areas they are good I have found a few with the monster and done a vid on how I work with the monster

[@marvinpybus4599]

Are you sure that the light gray pieces are lead? Looks a bit like mercury/gold amalgam.

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Amalgam and mercury look very silvery and lead once in the ground or water always has that gray colour

[@kimmeath9411]

Cannot get over all the lead top find

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Thanks but that lead put me on great gold that day
