How to Find Easy Gold 🙂

[@matterbach6200]

I love when the scale gives the bonus 100th of a gram

[@PioneerPauly]

I miss you Chris let's dig a tunnel and meet halfway.

[@aalrite22]

Hi 😁

[@VoGusProspecting]

You're a faster digger so ill meet you 2/3rd

[@outdoors_australia4439]

dam pauly you got first and i clicked as soon as the notification came up

[@trevdyer173]

As long as you have signal in the tunnel and you can live stream together again.......

COVID police will catch you....

[@colincolenso]

I do a lot of digging @Vo-Gus and in some circumstances you'd dig far quicker and expend far less energy with clappers (two-handle-scissor) type tool for post holes. Saves bending the back and can break up tough and rocky soils quite well with some practice; tip: Throw them down (not push into) and don't hold on too tight at impact. Cyclone is a durable brand at Bunnings. About $70 I think. I've been using the same one for about 10 years and have dug maybe 1,000 holes and many of them in hard and rocky ground. Sometimes a crowbar can assist, but wears you out a lot quicker.

You have a good teaching style. Knowledge carries the story; makes it a successful trip out from your students' perspectives.

[@scottsmith5202]

Sorry for your loss

[@norsehall309]

hi Chris, good to see your back on form after your sad loss, always love what you put up, also congratulations to you and Zoe, Have you asked her Dad Yet Mate, Cheers.

[@TheGoldPanner]

Highbanking is one of my favorite ways to mine gold. Love it. I always appreciate your highbanking videos, Chris!

[@mortimerq-pencil2513]

Thanks for mentioning about your tailings. It was something I was wondering. Glad to see you are aware of it. I enjoy your videos. Cheers!

[@ilouse]

Bit late to comment, I’ve been out digging🤣🤣 it’s always good coming back with yella and to find something to watch 👍🏻👍🏻 hope the vic border opens soon🤞🏻

[@bradwatkins1894]

Another great video mate. I must say I miss the old jingle that used to be on the intro.. That jingle was very catchy. Keep up the great work mate 👍

[@playlistshift]

Metal detect the course tailing incase. The video is good for developing techniques by seeing the details of the activity. Always innovative. I was trying to describe a sluice that could flip for cleanup. Maybe a sleeve of the moss that slips all the way around. It would collect in another tray underneath. That way you can run and empty without unscrewing it.

[@Blumack21]

Thank you. Andy

[@ShortClips-1-0-1]

It's so satisfying watching the highbanker process the dirt.

[@inthenightandy4616]

Ay! Been waiting on more info on flood gold. Ty Chris

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Glad I found your channel. Am slowly working my way through them all. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very infectious ;)

[@VoGusProspecting]

Glad you like them!

A chip off a nano-dot😃🤔, so Colorado 🤣😂. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Chris, I watch a lot of your vids and am much the wiser 👍🍻🇳🇿. Looking forward to your next vid / live stream 😀.

[@yoopermann7942]

CHRIS that was some BIG BEAUTIFUL GOLD!! i only dream about pieces of gold as big as some of that you found! it is normally like that mirco dust you found! a good would be finding a 0.10g. its not even that much 99.9% of the time, i,m not trying to get rich i,m look for the thrill of PROVEING ALL THE NAY SAYERs WRONG bout no being in my area!! love the NEW CAMERA WORK! great video LEASON!!

[@DavidBriggsAdventures]

4:30 ish the big rock looks like a rind to a thunder egg.

[@daliborgraljuk5692]

Hey mr vogus I have been following you for a while I love your videos mate. I have been doing a bit of prospecting myself and have realised that some of the gold is tainted black with i don’t know I have only realised this after scraping a few heavy black rocks on the bottom of the pan to reveal they are gold. Why haven’t u taught me this ;).

[@VmAn46]

"Black gold matters"

[@CONTAGENSAggression]

Raw gold ore is often black mostly if not all in colour shame i cant put pics up here to show you as i have some but also to add when you find this ore pay attention to how smooth or jagured it is example if its smooth its travelled down a river at some point and been water worn and possably old but if its jagured its an rough this is normally a sign that its broken away from a fresh vein near by and definatly go looking lol

[@Red9GearHead]

The right flood gravel can pack a heap of gold. My favorite creek near me has a few berms that are just packed. Great video brother.

[@VoGusProspecting]

100% right mate. The right inside bend and you'll be in for a good day.

[@SCOTTYOHH]

Chris I love your content brother! Long time fan! Also congrats on proposing to Zoe! Missing Grizzly barking at rocks whilst you pan for gold. Much love from rainy Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 keep up the content dude, much love ✌️

[@Klesh]

That Clay looks delicious 🍴

[@mattbarcus1759]

I used advise from one of your videos and it worked like a charm. Was striking out on a new river so I found a undercut bank and dug on the first gravel bar after it on the same side of the river. 10 specks a pan 😁

[@VoGusProspecting]

That is awesome!

[@brucetracey4471]

Chris, don't you know all the easy buckshot has already been found. LOL.

[@Terrapreta1000]

Good morning from Austria 🇦🇹 Thanks for your new video. 🙏It's great like always. Be well and stay safe.

[@ProspectorTripp]

Mr Cool Bazaaro Rock looks like a homer! It’s just a very good idea to discharge into a settling pond.. helps to keep the peace.. as does filling your metal detecting holes! Keep Our Wilderness Really Nice people! Good work sir! ✌️PT

[@JamesJohnson-nu2km]

Thanks Chris

[@cubedrabbit8751]

just brought a 8" highbanker and ive already gotten 2 grams in 3 trips

[@VoGusProspecting]

Males it a bit faster hey.

[@danieltaylor6489]

Love the show mate, keep it up

[@bentpegsfishingcampingadve7225]

Hahaha “like that’s smash button” lol at the end

[@rusticthumper5500]

Even a bad day on the creek teaches us something. Gives us another piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is prospecting. We just need to be able to think it through and see it for what it really is.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thats exactly it

[@michaelrafferty5441]

Always educational.

[@midasmarkprospecting7698]

Cant wait to try highbanking been panning for years need a change and more gold for all my back troubles

[@victorhatch776]

Looks like a good rock for Grizzly... great vid Chris.......

[@thomasmckay9878]

Chris ,look into gold-n-sands pump. Hand pump attached to bucket.might be beneficial

[@respectanimals2]

Great vid dude, always enjoy watching you in them creeks, my dogs asleep so I’ll scratch behind his ear when he wakes up, keep up the great work , peace ✌️ 😎🌴

[@ScottishGoldHunter]

Always wanted to try high banking Chris! It a shame that we are not allowed to do it in Scotland! ⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@trevdyer173]

Love it great vid. Im not saying i hind it massively satisfying to se a vid where the maker gets next to no gold but it makes me feel better about my 0 quantities i usually return home with with

I mean, this is reality. This is what happens to every prospector.

[@trevdyer173]

I hope that shines though mate. Because it's daunghting putting out videos like this with small takes.

There's goodies in it, just not in this spot.

[@LUCKYB.]

Question !! Have you ever though of setting up a Dredg pump for that Hybanker you have a 2 or 3 inch pacer pump is strong enough to pull at least 25 foot vaccuming material letting you triple your volume

[@VoGusProspecting]

dredging is illegal in Australia

[@markroper9269]

Great stuff bud! Way to put yourself out there.....I like that:) I wish you all the success in everything you do....but, the elephant in the room.........what did Dad say about your proposal?! Love you man....be safe!

I appreciate that! he was chill

[@dennisdayton689]

Very good video! I always enjoy your vids!!!

[@markopittman2833]

i sure could use a high banker like yours, i have a creek here in placerville ca, and the speck count is quite good, four pans gave me about a hundred specks. so get your banker n yourself over here.

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

Great job Chris, when are you going to come down to the states and prospect with us ? 😃😁🤙

[@VoGusProspecting]

Once out lockdown ends.

[@HeidiConanGoldProspecting]

Awesome man, love the new hat to btw. Cheers, HnC

[@48thstateprospecting]

Not bad could have been worse you just gotta see the creek at flood stage in your mind and figure out where the helical flow is depositing the gold if your not up on helical flow check it out it’s an awesome pay streak builder thx for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻

[@williampendergrass186]

I really enjoyed your comments on flood gold. I recently found a site with really good flood gold (10-20 colors per pan), and was surprised it was only at 8-10 ft above the river at the top of the gravel bar when the river was at low water. All the gold was in the top 12 inches and was only at the high points of the gravel bar. If I went down the towards the water even a few feet the gold disappeared. Is the lower gold washed away by the winter floods or does it work down 4 or more feet, where bedrock is way down 10 feet or more? Thanks, Bill

[@rareaussie6960]

Hi cobber that rock you found would be fantastic for grizzly 👍

[@davidvilla3243]

Sometimes you get; sometimes you don't what can you say( it's prospecting.)Dry creeks on club claim so i"ll be crevassing for a day of fun in the sun.I'm taking pry bars and a strong back trying to get at the shiny .

[@ninefingermining8694]

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Right on !!!!✌️🍻

[@Der_Allgauer]

Very good! ⚒🍀

[@stevewiles7132]

Double stretched metal?

[@VoGusProspecting]

Just two layers of mesh

[@captnron59]

Did I miss the episode where you talked about using double layer of expanded metal in the high banker?

[@alexkaring]

So Chris, if most of the gold floods out in this creek, where does it all go? Is there a large area, such as an alluvial valley, where it all concentrates.?

[@VoGusProspecting]

It's accumulates all long the creek where ever the friction is high enough. That's what we call deposits.

[@whatcouldgowrong8323]

Soon enough you will have enough gold to melt down and make a very special wedding ring.

[@outdoors_australia4439]

hay Chris just wonting to now what pump you are using at the moment

[@VoGusProspecting]

2HP petrol

[@rodneyhamson2239]

well done mate

[@getdownanddirtyprospecting]

Great video maybe not enough time to replenish that area a few more floods should have it lol

[@mattboyd8090]

So would a .1g from 30 litres of classified pay dirt from a gravel bar be a good spot??

[@VoGusProspecting]

That is about 0.3g per meter. It's not great, bit it's not bad of you can move dirt fast.

[@mattboyd8090]

@@VoGusProspecting Cheers man, when you say per meter what do you mean? Obviously not a cubic meter?

[@VoGusProspecting]

Yes a cubic meter. That's how alluvial wash is measured. And I forgot to carry the 0 so it's actually 0.9 per meter.

[@mattboyd8090]

@@VoGusProspecting Oh okay, i apologize if I'm being annoying and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been working it out like this. (1000litres÷30litres)× .1g = 3.33g.

[@mattboyd8090]

Or are you taking into account shovels into the classifier?

[@nessasarahlee3298]

Ground looks good 👌 you may be just off the line. Consider that a specimen isn't really going to be a heavy with regards to hydrodynamics. My next step would be trenching toward the stream flow in search of chuncky.

[@VoGusProspecting]

We did that and there's some nice bits in the stream edge there!

[@nessasarahlee3298]

@@VoGusProspecting beautiful, I tend to find the chuncky bits just on the edge of the low water flow which I think has a lot to do with my local small creek having quite steep banks also👍🏼

[@mrgreenswelding2853]

When I get time I will make some silicone sluice mats, and send you to try out

[@scottleidenberger4007]

I have never seen a double layer of expanded metal before. Does that work better than a single layer ? Another great video again .

Hello first time commenter hoping not to make a fool of myself. The surface of the rock at 4:27 looks a lot like the surface of a mammoth tooth. Surely not.
