[@russpearson9802]

This vid makes good sense to me. I used to work at an Nt gold mine, one of the geologists said there is more gold still in the ground than has ever been dug up in aust. The really big deposits are buried very deep he said, that are from very old water courses..

Hey OzGeology, the more you show Australia, the more i want to visit your beautiful country! (when i turn 65) Did you find any more wire gold around your home? A fan from Nova Scotia, Canada, Great video! ( over 2500 old gold mines here!) Mostly hard rock, Quarts! Cheers, my common-wealth Friend.😃👌👍✌

Tis grand to watch what's available to read the ground now, says an old ex-gold prospector. Living in Castlemaine, there are so many places I never got to explore properly.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Thanks for the comment! It’s amazing how far technology has come-what we can read from the ground now with geophysics and modern tools would have been unimaginable back in the day. Castlemaine is such a rich area for prospecting, with so much hidden gold still waiting to be uncovered. Who knows, with today’s methods, you might find some new spots to explore properly if you ever get the chance to return! There's always something more beneath the surface.

[@adamwhite1920]

Thank you! I love reports like this. 👍 Always good to learn more about the land especially gold bearing leads. Good work!

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed the report. It’s always exciting to dig deeper into the geology of gold-bearing leads and learn more about the hidden riches beneath our feet. There’s so much more to uncover, and I’m thrilled to share the knowledge! Stay tuned for more insights, and happy prospecting! 👍

[@adamwhite1920]

@@OzGeologyOfficial I certainly will, it's fascinating because we have such a wealth of minerals here in Australia and I'm always keen to learn more.

This is great stuff and the narrator is excellent. I'm a gemologist and gem and gold prospector and love this stuff. Keep up the great work 👍

[@DarwinianUniversal]

Your audience is going to love this series. This is excatly the kind of theme I like. Geological detective work that points to untold riches. I'm fighting an urge to buy a farm

Really enjoying your work mate,any chance of you doing the Kinglake area north of Melbourne,interesting rich fruit growing volcanic soils,but also gold was found. I’ve never found information on what kind deposition model occurred. My mate has a whiskey distillery there,and when I visit him from England I’m going force him to try some panning with me! I’d be happy with just some tiny flakes to honest 😂

[@unoriginalsyn]

So interesting ❤ I love the detective work involved

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Thanks! The detective work is one of the best parts of gold exploration. Uncovering the hidden history and piecing together geological clues to locate buried treasure is like solving a mystery. It’s amazing how modern science and old-world techniques come together to help us reveal secrets millions of years old!

[@adhawk5632]

Another epic vid, thanks mate👍👌🇦🇺

[@norsehall309]

G'day, l found this Video very interesting as some testing of the Campaspe basin area has been going on mainly drilling and core sampling, Fosterville Gold mine to the South of this lead is now producing a high volume of fine Gold from rock, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

[@XavierAndFriendsOfficalChannel]

I heard about a Chinese company buying lots of land north of Bendigo years ago, with intentions of digging for gold. Did they ultrasound our land and see something beneath? I often thought this. Jen. The golden triangle. ❤️🙏🕊️❤️

[@stevegood3621]

More than likely reading core samples or magnetic surveys

[@jasonthompson5324]

Great video who’d have thought potassium decaying gave off radioactive signals Epic video loved it

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Thank you so much! It’s pretty fascinating how potassium decay emits radioactive signals-it’s one of the cool ways we can actually detect ancient rivers and sediments buried deep underground. Geology really is full of surprising insights like that! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Stay tuned for more, because there’s a lot more gold and geology to uncover! 😊

[@markkilley2683]

Thanks. Very informative.

[@robertleeimages]

Fosterville mine has been surveying this area north towards Echuca for a while, core drill sampling and what ever other techniques they use. I know because they've knocked on our door to inform us whats going on, there's an old quarry 1km from us and even a known site gold was found pretty much on the property where we live north of Goornong but back near where the Bendigo creek passes our boundary and a neighbours and there's heaps of quartz scattered through out paddocks.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! It does take time, but diving into the history and geology of these gold-bearing leads is fascinating, and it’s great to hear that it’s appreciated. 😄 Even if you’re not grabbing a shovel and bucket, knowing what’s beneath your feet is pretty awesome, right? Stay curious, and thanks again for your support!

[@FrosticlestheBenificent]

The words "Alluvial mining" and "easy" should never be used in the same sentence.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Alluvial mining is easy, compared to hard rock mining. That's for sure. Especially shallow alluvial mining.

[@FrosticlestheBenificent]

@@OzGeologyOfficial I've done both. I stand by my previous assertion.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

As have I, and as do I.

[@wimmeraparanormal6581]

Deep Lead mining anywhere in VIC will only occur when engineering technology matches the task. No-one has come up with a safe method...yet. When it occurs, there will be a real mining company gold rush! There are billions of cubic meters of payable alluvium here.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

You’re absolutely right! Deep lead mining in Victoria remains a huge challenge due to safety concerns and the depth of the gold-bearing channels. Once technology catches up, there’s massive potential for a new gold rush, especially with billions of cubic meters of alluvium still untouched. When safe methods are developed, it could be a game changer for mining in the region!

[@lynndonharnell422]

Sssh, don't tell Penny.

[@Mirrorgirl492]

Fascinating. I live quite close the Calivil.

[@markhepworth]

Really enjoying your work mate,any chance of you doing the Kinglake upland area north of Melbourne?

[@gertjevanpoppel7270]

Thanks for the great explanation in these videos 👍😀 When i look at the maps in detail the land seem to be divided into rectangles and squares of different sizes and shapes. Are these county's or maybe boundaries of private property ?....

[@yellowrustbucket8691]

Calivil Allulvial and Renmark Alluvial are coming up with the same feet in your depth, but should be different as per the meters. That said, a very informative video, well done.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Yup. I mentioned that in the pinned comment, it was an unfortunate mistake that I didn't catch until I uploaded it unfortunately :(

[@matward7]

Not sure if you’re aware but it looks like your drone footage at the 14-15 second mark caught what is known as a sphere or Orb UAP in the bottom right hand corner. MUFON Australia would be interested in this video as they could work out its rate of speed from frames per second. It wasn’t a bird or insect because it was moving way too fast.

[@paulkurilecz4209]

One question, what and where is the source rock for these alluvial deposits? Tia great video

[@laurahaaima1436]

It's the same in the Netherlands, 40.000 years of sediment has flown from Switzerland mountains.. I bet there is lot's of gold on the seabed between England and the Netherlands..

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

That’s fascinating! Over thousands of years, sediment from the Alps and other high mountain ranges like those in Switzerland has definitely found its way to lower areas like the Netherlands, carried by rivers such as the Rhine. Sediment deposition from these rivers into the North Sea has built up huge deltas, and it’s quite possible that some of this material could contain gold, given its origin in the mountains. As for the seabed between England and the Netherlands, it's definitely possible that there could be gold or other valuable minerals hidden in the sediments. Over geological time, these areas have been subjected to the erosion and transport of materials from various sources, potentially leaving behind precious metals. There’s already a lot of interest in exploring the seabed for resources, so who knows-maybe the next big gold rush will be underwater!

[@mitchelhowe9441]

Gday how about coming up to the Beechworth area. Cheers. 7:35

[@danrowlands3705]

The gold that flows through down the Murray that our farmers depend upon far outweighs anything that lies beneath it or on its beds and isnt worth the risk ... IDC how much golds under it

The only thing I ever found in the Campaspe River was leeches. Greetings from Bendigo.

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Haha, those leeches sure know how to make their presence felt! The Campaspe River may not be full of visible treasures, but the hidden gold buried deep beneath the surface could make up for it! Maybe next time, you’ll find something more exciting than leeches! ;)
