He Fell Down a Mine Shaft! | Metal Detecting Deep Leads

[@DadofScience]

Mate, your passion for prospecting (over money) is just awesome. You're definitely doing it right.

[@davidoconn9352]

Thanks for taking us along Chris!

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Good going Chris. When I had a 5000 I just used an external speaker but when I got the 6000, from day 1, I used the headphones. Makes you become more one with the machine and you are listening for those really faint signals. Well done on your hunt😁👍

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

You should check out the external speakers, the go around you neck and rest on your collarbone, light and loud. The hook up with a wire or Bluetooth

[@ferdburphel2076]

👍! Its incredibly convenient that the deepest dirt ends up at the top of the pile waiting for you 🍻

[@drjohnsmith450]

4:13 there was a commercial and on KZbin it says Skip ad And you said hello to skip to the kangaroo😂😂😂

[@Khanvondog]

Hiya, Chris, Re: headphones; It's obvious that they're significantly helping your detection of weak signal targets, and that makes perfect sense. The trouble is, we can't hear & learn what those weak indications sound like. This also means that when we're watching you detect, it's not apparent what audible indication is sufficient to make you stop sweeping & start digging, and of course, we don't get the 'suspense' factor as you 'home in' on the target. I'm not saying that you should stop using headphones; only that they adversely affect the 'immersivity' of your video footage when you do. If you want to continue using them and have a friend with electronics skills, there are a number of ways you could get the detector audio component back into your video footage... or... only use headphones for the initial detection, then repeat & film without them, using the 'external' speaker, once you know roughly where your target is located. Just my thoughts.

[@chrislilly1463]

THANK YOU! I have been bugging people for like 10 years to explain the digger hole phenomenon! Just tell us why nobody digs between?! No GOLD in the dirt between. it's on the bedrock at the bottom! OH, well that makes sense now, but when you look at a grid of 5 foot deep holes 6 feet apart, that's not what it looks like. Cripes I was always like "just get an excavator and a recirculating wash plant in there and take way more gold. Nope. they scrubbed the bottom... WOW. lol Now I have the answer, I am like "why didn't anyone EVER say anything?!" All good and again thank you!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Yeah a lot of people don't realise it's all under mined

[@kevinman5019]

Using the headphones is great for the video too. No more annoying tone. Much better for me anyway. Cheers

[@kahnfu-zhin8627]

Chris Vogus. Best prospecting content on the innertubes!

[@TheBlokeOutback]

Nice, persistence is the key, I bought a gold monster 1000 and just about hung it up after a few outings due to the amount of ground noise and hot rocks but a few more videos and some persistence I am finding stuff although I haven’t yet found any gold with it I have pulled up a few old bits of iron from back in the day and a 1966 2c coin that’s apparently worth more than 2c 🤣 Love the headphones the wife might let me watch detecting videos at home without the constant noise of a detector 👌

[@joshuajackson6442]

What a fantastic mental health day you have had, and thank you for sharing it with us, Chris!

[@virginiarocks]

Interesting. Thanks! And congratulations 🎉

[@Dundee.]

ive taken my old climbing kit down some shafts here in sa, used to be a arborist cant lie it was bloody good fun

[@jenskoppka1870]

I never found any piece of gold metal detecting in my area, but I do not live in a region with natural gold. Anyway, hunting Roman coins and artifacts over the whole year, gives one a good idea when the soil conditions allow finding small and deep targets in an area which appeared empty in summertimes. Its always when the ground is wet, usually in winter and early spring when you get the best responses. Wet soil gives you extra depth and clearer signals, at least in my experience here in Germany. Was about to ask you if you had similar experiences in Australia, noting that you usually have to deal with dry soil. I usually change also frequencies down to about 17 kHz to get depth and low reaction time to give the detector time to process deep targets. Dunno if that is an option for the Goldmonster or whatelse machine you are using :) Lower frequencies help only for relatively large targets, tiny targets are only possible to find with high frequencies, so probably the better option for your gold :) Anyway, nice to see you finding nice gold pieces. Well done. Happy hunting, Chris.

[@andypandyAU.6669]

Well done , some nice little chunks there. I actually use a prospecting day as my mental health day. Works for me for sure. Cheers for the adventures, ❤it

[@maxwellt.v.5563]

Awesome work chris some beautiful bits there👍

[@timothyanderson2108]

[@48thstateprospecting]

Yup now you know why seasoned detectorist always have headphones on. And ya it works great for relics and coins to… great finds and cool looking bits thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. bummer about the turtle. Over here back in the early 2000’s the BLM (bureau of land management) started sealing up old mines to protect people. In 8 years they managed to seal up 3000 mines of the 100,000-500,00 that are out there (most are unknown and a claim was never filed) but in 2006 a teenager found one with a 10 foot opening and thought he could jump across it…..ya he didn’t make it. It was quite an effort to recover his body from the 1000 foot deep shaft. ALWAYS get out of a mining area before dark. And keep your head on a swivel during the day.

[@DetectaBull]

I got 2 bits last week, 0.02 & 0.06!!

[@DTGTDetectingTheGoldenTriangle]

Well done mate nice bits 👌👍Get in sink with your machine and you will tell the difference between gold and rubbish especially with headphones on 👌. I shit you not i have only filmed 4 rubbish targets in the last 18 months . I find its how the targets start to light up just as you come over them. Middle and end of the signal still sounds the same to me 👍

[@phil251170]

Awesome content mate. There's nothing like this in the UK so watching you is as close as I get to having a go.

[@paulevans5455]

Headphones are a game changer in the right conditions, but junk will always be there.Keep digging mate.

OK, you got me! I watched this thinking that poor ol' Chris fell down a mine shaft! Poor Mr. Turtle.

A fresh perspective on old ground should always reveal some hidden gems! Great work mr Resume!

[@kevdimo6459]

Well done Chris you certainly deserve any gold you find. 👍🏻

[@jasoncsullog3741]

Probably not a feasible task, but it'd be really cool to get a ground radar imaging done to "see" the look of the tunnel network underground.

[@nuru666]

Uhm, no, that's probably completely doable bro. You'd likely be able to differentiate the native soil from infill by erosion and collapse, I bet the map would be super cool

[@thegoldrushguy]

Good run on the gold Chris- congrats mate

[@TKs3DPrints]

just wondered if you find a bit of gold in the scoop and there is still soil in the scoop do you double check the dirt before moving on. ? i imagine you do. but just wanted to check. :)

Were you saying that, based on visuals of the rock itself, experienced prospectors can pick between a gold bearing quartz reef and one that isn't? Any more info please would be greatly appreciated?

You increase your chances of finding gold by just being out there by 100%. Sometimes u just gotta jump in the car and go not think about it get to diggin

Could you please give me an idea of not where you are here, but somewhere near by I might be able to go and have a chance to detect my first nugget! Live in the same area, been out a few times, but had no luck.

To make vids with noise can't you rig up a thingie that takes a signal from the headphones and "speakers" it out to where your external mic can hear it too? Headphones for you - external sound for us. Shouldn't be hard. Check with the electronics teacher at the local Highschool?

All of those holes should be filled in when the people that made them to keep people and animals from getting killed it should be a law

[@VoGusProspecting]

Nah, you're assuming that most of them are open. And you're assuming animals (for the most part) don't have survival instincts. The turtle couldn't see the hole because the railing has long grass around it. All holes without the railing are clear to see.
