Finding $3700 in Gold in 100 Buckets

[@VoGusProspecting]

How much gold do you think I will find in total?

[@bobkirk942]

1.01 grams

[@toddkrumm-owens4865]

Out of 100 buckets? Id guess close to an ounce

[@trevdyer173]

Lots

[@josephknowlton7246]

16.2g.

31.000g

94 buckets from Bunnings to go, 94 buckets to go, classify down and sluice it around, 93 buckets from Bunnings to go

Great video Chris. Thanks for the shout out. Really appreciate it. I can’t wait to see what you get after 100 buckets.

It's a good product mate

[@brilog69]

That's a really nice basket classifier!!

[@robertmackey5608]

On your next 100 bucket challenge Chris try this. You could easily floated a heavy bucket of pay dirt down or up stream to your river sluice if you are wading in deep enough water to float a thick piece of Styrofoam insulation. Let the water work for you and not your back, but you are a very strong man and much younger than me too. From a 72 years old not as strong prospector in the State of Washington, in the USA. I loved your 100 bucket challenge it was great. I watched all of the videos on it. Good job! Hope to see more challenges like this.

[@thomasmeyer9932]

If you process 100 buckets of pre-screened material, you have actually already produced 200 buckets. You have to add the overburden to get a value per ton.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Yeah, I know. But let's not over complicate it haha

[@adamboothby1725]

you're videos are fantastic. Zero chance of ever trying gold prospecting in my area...... but love your humor, the fact that your outdoors having fun, and doing what you enjoy. It shows in the vids and that makes them awesome dude!

Just had 4 days out in the bush! 2 days detecting for about 3Kg of scrap iron and 2 days of panning for 0.01 grams of gold fly poop. My mental health improved dramatically!

Pssst, it's Gadzee!

[@horacepinker6578]

You know that the pan classifiers fit onto the top of a bucket. If you have a bucket full of water and you place the classifier with dirt onto it it washes the dirt and gold into the bucket. The dirt displaces the water as it falls into the bucket meaning you dont have to keep pouring water into the bucket. you can wash the dirt with the classifier until you fill the bucket. Try it. Its much more friendly on the knuckles than the contraption you have there. (by the way gloves are your friends either way.)

[@jerrydesgranges8294]

Awesome video here Chris. Definitely awesome video of the gold and the 100 bucket challenge. Crap, I work at a manufacturing plant that deals with a alot of sand that we use for making molds to pour melted iron into and it is ridiculous of the black (burnt) sand and some of the crystal type sand that is used to make our cores for multiple products and at the end of day somehow I end up getting all of this types of loose sand in my pockets after a year of me working at this plant. And I have thought about doing an actual test to see if there is any gold in this but I don't have the right equipment to test like fine gold recovery at the moment. It would be nice if I had the equipment to do so and run tests to see about how much gold is actually going through my jobs plant.

[@reconnaissance7372]

I don't know what's more eyebrow raising. Finding gold for myself. Or seeing the efficiency in which Chris can mine gold aailable to him.

[@rockymountaindad]

Amazing , you've taught me quite a bit, even though I'm all the way over here in Montana, but my area has a mostly or at least a lot of really fine gold . Thanks for taking us with you again , oh and I really think the no brand bucket company will surely sponsor you yet 😉

What a great challenge Chris.! Love your idea it’s genius my good friend ✨🇨🇦

[@minerjohnny41]

Great breakdown and explanation of how much ( roughly ) per bucket is to be made if a person can find the right spot

[@prodoomer3166]

I was unsubscribed, and I certainly didn't do it. Subed again

[@mwaden7200]

You said that there was better gold downstream but no place to set up your sluice. So, why not use the rocker box downstream?

[@mkvisser]

Nice work. It’s funny how the geology changes. In my area, the creeks with granite bedrock and what I call “aquarium sand” ( the tiny bits of broken down granitic sands) basically have 0 gold in them. The other creeks that have normal basalt type bedrock host a lot of gold, anyway food for thought. Keen to see the 100 bucket results.

[@tommynoel9929]

Thanks Chris!

[@robertg9514]

I’m guessing you aren’t allowed to use gas (petrol) powered suction dredges there in Australia?

[@markfryer9880]

Correct. No motorised equipment. Hand powered only. Hence the use of shovels, pans, classifiers, yabbie pumps, rocker boxes. You can use a pump for water for sluice boxes of various kinds.

[@allanfahrenhorst-jones6118]

Well done. Good luck. 👍❤️😇🥳

[@pfineyut]

Here's a suggestion. Instead of dumping the larger washed pebbles, take a few buckets of them to Bunnings and exchange them for a new Bunnings bucket 🤣🤣

[@VoGusProspecting]

Now we're talking, a rock mafia

[@gyvren]

That basket is literally better than any of the Arbor classifiers. It’s deeper, meaning you can move more dirt faster. I should know…I have all of the Arbor classifiers and their gem sieve.. lol 😉👍

[@VoGusProspecting]

Good to know!

[@marksheldon7154]

[@garethsmith7628]

what is the SG? somewhere between 2.7 and 3.3? trying to work out grams per tonne - if you get an ounce and the SG=3 then that is 5g/t - pretty rich compared to modern gold mines in Australia that run anywhere from 0.8 to 2.5g g/t on average. mind you, 1g/t is one part per million...

[@48thstateprospecting]

Well your a better man than I am gunga din I think I’ve barely cracked 100 buckets total in my prospecting career (ya I don’t get to go much that’s why I watch you and gad zee lol) thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

[@KidnapSix]

I was out panning / sluicing on the Skykomish river in WA, yesterday... what you got with 7 pans might be what we got with 40 buckets lol.. We probably got less.. We got with a single pan maybe 1 fines and 5 micros. You aussies have it so good there. One dude found a really nice flake like your pands are littered with but those are rare and fare between there. If I ever saw a pan like the one at 9:30 I think I would shit my pants.

It's so cool to see hard work, if you wanna know there are a Few prospectors out here in Arizona that keep their secrets, because it's hit & miss as you well know...Most that I've run across have delusions of grandure thinking they're gonna get rich detecting Sand filled washes (Lol!😂). It's been really hard to find anyone that has the patience to learn, but after seeing my specimen pieces & nuggets & gold even not being able to be out much, I have a friend or two that just love being out there...Not as out there as you goofballs are, just being out in nature.

Snakeskin riffles are life changing. Only pan I will use now. And I am biased, cause I do sell these pans in Canada. But they are great.

[@PrometheusZandski]

My guess is you will get about 1200-1300 AUD out of 100 buckets, assuming you don't buy dirt. If you can do that, you will make $73 per day.
