It's interesting that you are digging the creek bank as we are not allowed to do that in Queensland.

[@VoGusProspecting]

In Vic we are, it's outlined in the mine department fossicking guide.

[@downunderfulla6001]

Barry there’s a lot of regulations that qld are backwards and confined to

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

BarryH H there allowed in Victoria mate same for us in NSW

[@skinzz57]

Grate video cris im yet to find a bit that big but im shore if i put all the hours of nolage that i have lernt from you it wont be far off..😌👍

[@stevepunter3704]

Unlikely to get into trouble digging the bank, it’s not really policed. If anyone asks we are just clearing the way for flood water to save property ect. 😇

[@GrumpyGrunt]

Looked like a good day all around. Nice to see Grizz bouncing around. Stay well.

[@allansgoldmining]

Hey Chris. You're getting really good with that Batea Pan. I like it ! Nice day on the gold too ! Best of luck to you mate. Cheers ! 🤠⚒⛏👍

[@micktonks1828]

As always great vid mate and what a nice stretch of creek bed love how grizz is always interested in what you are doing plz give him a scratch and I'll be looking forward to your next vid cheers

[@Blumack21]

Thank you. Andy

[@TisButAScratch666]

Good one Chris. Looks like a nice little spot. If you ever worry about your battery life maybe you could wire in a switch. Seems that all the time you're loosening-up gravels from a big area of ground is using power without processing. But I have zero experience, just a fans musings! Keep up the great work.

[@michaelswanson7881]

16:40 BAHAHAHAHAHA, star of the show. I really want to meet him, oh, you too Chris.

[@spookydonkey2195]

Nice result! Love that pan, now I gotta get one. Give your dog a scratch behind the ear for me!

[@rickreimer1050]

Wow great video. Griz is doing a fine job as site boss. I'm not sure he like your technic there a couple of times lol. Nice gold...you seem to really like the patea pan. Thanks Chris and Griz

[@Smithsgold]

NICE !!!!!!!!

[@neilnewcombe1688]

Love your gold videos. Always can’t wait till the next

[@itatane]

I like the look of that little mini sluice. Looks like a piece of equipment that would work well for a bit of material for a hobbyist to process on a rainy afternoon. By the way, Grizzly was looking majestic as frig when you asked him what he thought. Awesome video and super awesome doggo.

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

love seeing you in a tuke and scarf lol great video

[@homesteadaquarius]

Great day in the creek! Grizz was looking serious at us!

[@jacksgems3599]

I didn’t get a notification!!! Damn KZbin. Nice find Chris👍🏼

[@TheFriskySquid]

I see you are really taking a liking to that batea pan. Can't wait to see the next video, looks like it will be another loaded spot.

[@wilsonwombat3456]

On the subject of historical prospecting, I read that many early prospectors arrived on the goldfields penniless and with very little or no equipment. That they used billy cans, fry-pans, pot lids and even shovel heads to pan for gold. As a matter of interest, could you do a video using these makeshift items just to see how effective they are? Cheers mate, keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@ilouse]

He’s used a common plastic water bottle as a pan, it works. Pauly has used a frying pan but he lost his gold 😂

[@jonathanbennett6610]

Love Mick's reaction at the end

[@yorpersona]

Your dog doesn't suck. He seems loyal. And I bet he has 3 oz of gold in his belly from drinking water from all the prime spots you've missed.

[@myleshubert3540]

Love these epic adventures

[@josephpecoul6532]

I love that shot at the end with you and grizzly you guys are the best

[@Daliclock]

Thanks for the video Chris!

[@michealklonowski5267]

Boy your boss grizzly was really doging you ,but he was right you found a small picket.lol thank you for sharing

[@GramCanyonSam]

Congrats on the picker bud! And stellar content which I always expect from the vogus clan

[@captnron59]

Nice! Grizzly's keeping you on your game! I need me a Grizzly!

[@MrInsaint]

You are the best Brother👍🤩🙏

[@andrewh6645]

I learn something every video. Thank you

[@rudysarsof]

Glad the beard is coming back nicely

[@martinstallard6173]

I did my first gold panning trip a few days ago. Only got some super fine flour gold where I live but I also got a .22 slug. I was over the moon I found a bullet as I must be in the right zone for gold catchment. I only learnt that information from you. Never thought I would get excited about a bit of lead. :)

[@stuffnthingsb.c4043]

As always great video Cris and thanks. Hope you’ve been doing well and you family and friends are all making it through this Covid in great shape. I haven’t heard much about Australia but I’m in Canada and unfortunately that means I’m right next to the USA which sucks because they’re out of control and they don’t seem to give a shit. Give your dog a scratch behind the ears for me because I give mine one every time I watch one of your videos. LOL thanks again

[@billymoore3500]

Love your videos and the areas you are working. Not sure what $50 Australian compares to US dollars but I've worked some long days busting my knuckles mechanicing for less than that when I was younger, it's still better pay than where I work now without the headache of working in high speed traffic on a toll road .

[@HeidiConanGoldProspecting]

Cheers m8! Great video and amazeballs gold! See you on the next one. ;)

[@Chris-yg5vh]

Whooooo! That's some candy! I really need to hit the river by me again and check my spot now that our snow melt is gone.

[@SuperLaplander]

Very nice episode!

[@MD-NWWI]

That is a pretty awesome find! Good thing the old timers were technologically challenged!

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Great job as always Chris, before you did the weigh in I was going to guess .6 😂🤙. See you on the next one.

[@hipbeeexplorer]

You seem to like that batea pan. I may have to get one and try it. Great video. Peace.

[@brianblackwell2308]

Tease, griz saw that rock😁

[@pixelpocket8679]

Hey Chris. Thanx again for this video. Could you please show how you clean up your fine gold. I'm having ultra fine gold as well mixed with small lead and very heavy silverish powder. Would be really interested in your cleanup techniques. Cheers mate.

[@longbowshooter5291]

I've always thought those Batea pans would work well. The cone shape would naturally give gold a place to sink to, while the swirling around would cause the lighter materials to rise up and out of the pan. Good explaining of the terrain and how it built up, you have a lot of knowledge about the history. I appreciate your vids even though I've never panned, or looks likely I'd do so anytime in the future, I enjoy you seeing you and Grizzly have fun doing it.

[@patricklucero9593]

AYE BRO, PAN'S CRACKING, MICRO-HOT SPOT, AS ALWAYS KEEP GRINDING FOR THAT SHINE!!! LOVE THE BREAKDOWN STILL LEARNING AND RESPECT FOR ALL THE CREEK INTELL...

[@rastamanralph6670]

Ziggy has a golden bone name tag like grizzly👍🐶

[@respectanimals2]

You and grizzly are the greatest team ever, love the vids ✌️💀

[@jamestaylor3805]

Please for the love of gold, test one more of those miner moss mats at the bottom of that same set up. I bet there is more to catch.

[@davidraines2873]

Buddy you got yourself a good spot there. I suspect you might get some ounces of gold there. Was the same spot you went inshore and found the pay layer went back always. Looking forward to the next video

[@bushycraig8681]

Thank you

[@song295]

One old miners sloppy cleanups is a moderns miners fortune 😁

[@VoGusProspecting]

Pretty much bro!

[@downunderfulla6001]

Nice little pickup

[@ShortClips-1-0-1]

I got a .4 take yesterday with my yabby pump. It's the best underutilised piece of equipment for prospectors.

[@triple_A_rockhound]

lol griz doing like a legit boss

[@gleno2008]

nice work again bro going to high bank out at rushy tomorrow mate

[@davidhall9679]

look forward to next installment

[@rastamanralph6670]

Son of a brick that pan at the end is champion😉👍 will that be the next video?

[@breakingbud2530]

You got more gold than I expected well done

[@mikeplant9163]

great video and gold mate.grizzly always seems to steal the show !! how come you don't half fill the bucket with rocks , put the batea on that and yabby pump straight into that? just a thought.

[@Rayofgoodness]

I really like your prospecting videos! Hopefully you and Grizzly are doing well!

[@brianblackwell2308]

Good location for sure😁

[@trevdyer173]

you went backto the garret for final clean up. Is that because it sits better to run the mat through? Do you find yourself swirling the garret after using the beta pan?

[@VoGusProspecting]

I use the Garret to do the ultra fine gold clean. It's more my skill level at this point more than anything else.

[@RichardRoger1966]

HAHAHA... Grizz's delayed reaction = "...What, you mean they don't already have one?!?!?!"

[@gregoryeverett9811]

At about 6:30 in the video, Grizzly is playing with something in the grass. My cat, Clarissa, plays just like that with her favorite toys. I'm not much of a dog person but if I had one it would be one like Grizzly. He's a great dog.

[@willadventures2152]

Love your videos

[@digger105337]

Griz is trying to tell you where the gold is!

[@washingtonbeachmining7736]

I think you running a 1100 GPH Pump instead of a 2000 gph help catches the the finer gold in the last mat, nice job!

[@IrishAndy001]

Another great video Chris. I've a question about miners Moss. Is it better to use open backed Moss are Moss the has a backing coat on it.

[@michaelswanson7881]

A 2016 change over 5c piece, do you noodle as well as the prospecting lark ? Nice gold for a relatively little amount of work, love the way Grizz watches every shovel of rocks that goes into the hopper, waiting for one to escape and then YELLING at it for doing so.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Yeah I do a little bit but nothing serious

[@danzoller7397]

Yeehaww good vid chris, may there be pickers in ur pan and not your nose !!!

[@AgateDad]

👍👍🤘

[@cjhays6717]

So you really love that pan

[@brycelamping5176]

Holy cow I think you got a nice spot

[@libertymining5728]

Not bad man, enjoyed the video!

[@blender0118]

You need a Trommel Chris. It would really help you out with where you are digging. I do not know the rules and regulations of your country though. Any thoughts?

[@linda54wood]

How's Grizzly been? Anymore health issues? He's a good boy! Your not to shabby yourself.😁 I really enjoy your methods.

[@VoGusProspecting]

He's doing great thank you 😘

[@bradwelch7425]

Well done Chris, yes our Queensland laws are a bit backward so we need to work around it, in saying that it could be a grey area, you can work the active creek bed, so does that mean high water when it floods. Nice gold al the same, going to head on out to Glendon near Warwick soon to get some chunky stuff, it's still there, just gotta put the effort in and get rewarded. I might put a vid up on the tube, I have got 6grammers plus from out there in the sluice, it's good to see that in the box. Would like to get down that way for a look see one day, Chris are mini trommels allowed in Victoria? Cheers Brad

[@childofruby]

Could I ask where did you get your silver pan.I live on the north coast of nsw..I really enjoyed the clips I have just watched.Thank you for the information that you share with us all.Keep them clips coming

[@mormonund3rwear]

great video

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

I see you have quickly switched to the batea in the field. I presume that is because of productivity. The conventional pan is still best for cleaning gold I presume?

[@VoGusProspecting]

I cannot overstate just how good the Batea pan is. Even for fine clean up it excels at the job. What I don't trust at this stage is my experience and skill. A regular pan is still needed to do the ultra fine gold clean.

[@hardrockuniversity7283]

@@VoGusProspecting Interesting. I will have to get a batea and test it on micro fine gold. Right now I am doing well down to 100 microns, but losing a significant amount below that in the slimes. 65% recovery is not satisfying. I want at least 80% if possible- gravity only. Leaching could do it of course, but the capital investment and permitting are uneconomic for micro scale. I think I'll get there in the end. The tailings only have 15% the concentration of the feed. It's the slimes that are the issue. Keith
