This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...

[@rastamanralph6670]

@Walk About Prospecting I gave him two likes😂😂

[@7chillywilly7]

Hey Chris, great video since most of the gold by me is super fine gold. Out of curiosity, what is the plaque located behind you that say “panning license?” Is there a story about that

[@VoGusProspecting]

@@7chillywilly7 it's an old lease marker I found in the bush.

[@MadScientistProspecting]

Thanks for the shout out Chris. I'm not sure about being the "best" but I do my best. I've got a theoretical video coming out soon which will be a setup for what happens on inside bends/gravel bars.

[@VoGusProspecting]

You deserve it mate, you have great content.

[@soaponarope8995]

I'm on the creeks and rivers constantly fishing in remote places in Oregon and never thought to look down 😂 I'll spend all day and at best come home with a photo of a fish you got $20 worth of gold. That's enough for me to trade my fishing poles in for a sluice box 😂

[@melvinleong3731]

CHRIS: "BYE ANT!" FISH: "THANK YOU CHRIS!"

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Videos EXACTLY like this helped me make my last two videos!!!!!! Thank you for explaining it so well, channels like yours are my go to resource for relevant information. Cheers Chris✅🍺

Beautiful vid,Chris,watching and listening close,now,waiting to see whats in that secondary stream,really good,my breakfast on rest day,Thank you!!!

[@rickystairs]

Awesome video man! I really enjoy watching gold prospecting but it’s also a big bonus that you teach us a thing or two while you do it lol. And I gave my dog a good scratch behind the ears for ya! Keep it up Chris

[@mikeplant9163]

love your workmanlike way of sluicing and as usual your presentation is great, from what you've said of your dad in the past he did a fair bit of prospecting and he must be pretty proud of what you accomplish with you're channels.once again thanks Chris & the branch manager.

[@damienfallon9409]

thank you so much for your videos mate truly grateful for your videos you have helped me out big time with my PTSD and other mental health issues you got me back out into our beautiful bush land of north east vic. i hope to see you some time around our neck of the woods keep up the good work that you do.i had one person tell me the one thing about my mental health FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT and keep your head held high do what you want to do and don't ever let anyone stop you THANK YOU SO MUCH for your hard work mate

[@captnron59]

Grizzly didn't look too pleased with you gaming during your lunch break... He thought you ought to be digging. Haha. Great video, and that huge tailings pile you created... Wow!

[@leighanncronin6905]

Great, relaxing video! Thank you Chris😊

[@jaybales3160]

Really good video. Enjoyed learning and watching you demonstrate step by step the how too. Thanks for sharing and best of luck on your next hunt for color.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks for the support buddy

[@BeefyPrepperthegolddigger]

Love the mini banker...great video Chris !!!!

[@shedboi]

Love this channel, been in lockdown for 9 weeks now and I think I would have lost my mind ages ago of it wasn't for your videos.

[@steven_ewen]

Very interesting going through some of your videos for the second or third time. I always seem to pick up another little nugget of information that I missed or forgot to remember. I like your little test hole

[@VoGusProspecting]

Glad to hear it!

[@joeljeffery8704]

Fantastic video! Great information and beautiful gold. Grizzly was telling you to move over a bit. Can't wait to see you in the next video. Thanks Chris.

[@stebly7]

I must say Chris, the areas that you show in your videos are absolutely beautiful! It's obvious why you and Grizzly love getting out there and it never hurts when the day becomes golden....lol. Cheers from the beautiful Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.... mate!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Its like that, no place id rather be

[@psime1]

The look that Grizzly gave you just after your gaming comment, the Boss was not happy, you were wasting time. Hahahahaha

[@prospectorjake933]

Your vids have been getting better and better lately! :D

[@brentbenson4930]

The content is informational, the sound track is very chill.

[@tasdgoldprospecting2979]

Interesting video Chris keep up the good work mate 👊🏻🤠👍🏻

[@seanparchim9165]

Loved the tutorial Chris thanks man...

[@mikegiiver]

Great, informative video! Keep them coming.

[@connieeveritt5704]

Thank you for sharing Chris it is always great watching you do your prospecting. You always give nice handy hints. I have heard you mention about doing this as a hobby and you are so right. I have osteoporosis and the only reason I am still moving around is because of the love for this hobby. No we won't get rich from it but the health value we get from either mind and or body is worth it's weight in gold. Stay healthy and have fun. 😉

[@daviddrexler7268]

Hey Chris! Enjoyed your video very much! Love thoses Episodes somebody went out prospecting with the highbanker, exspecially if it so nicely presented! I might use your adwise with wider sluice in the end :) best luck near the channel!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Wider Sluice makes a big difference

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

Beauty mate nice flowers 🌷 lol Yea it’s always cool Getting it that’s what I get in my spot up here Looks great in a black pan when wet lol Nice cruisey vid Cheers Crouch

[@Arnieel]

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Not sure where you are but hope your safe from the fires dude. It’s hectic out there at the moment. Rad vid too dude!

[@nicholasbrown3261]

Looks like you're back to your old self again, glad you're feeling better... looking good Chris.

[@rickreimer1050]

Great video Chris! Lots to learn...pretty gold even if small. Thanks

[@VoGusProspecting]

I like fine gold! Its very nice to look at

[@HensleyTG1]

Great video, I see ur subs are growing quite nicely.

[@diggertheamateurprospector6611]

My eye was stuck on that little high banker set up. That runs excellent!

[@stylzzzzify]

Gravel bars are amazing! Last summer we spent a week on a freshly logged claim, located a gravel bar deposit where two old river channels converged, bedrock exposures close by, dug 6ft down and still never hit bedrock. Turns out we just need a bigger industrial sized shovel. But again, all the way down was that super small fine gold.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Its hit and miss, thats what turned me off gravel bars in the first place, the depth.

[@rogerbublitz1722]

Love your videos even though we don't have gold where I live. I love your back ground music !! It goes very well with your video shots. Very well done

[@andthoseotherguys]

You never know. Never hurts to buy a sluice pan and a small shovel. ;)

[@tezzasbigbuz3933]

Weather looks lovely there I’m like 2 hours away and have the worst weather lately

[@sapient_design]

Watching all the way from Utah, USA! The wife and I are just getting into prospecting and love all your amazing videos!!!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks buddy, good luck out there!

[@TheKelday]

Hey Chris, what size pump would you recommend for the gold rat 6" highbanker? cheers

[@kimholg295]

So glad I'm not the only one who relocates bugs instead of killing them 😂😂

[@xcvsdxvsx]

I like to hope that an alien or god to whom I am an insect would choose not to squish me. And I wouldn't really have any ground to stand on in that regard if I killed the things that are bugs to me.

[@VoGusProspecting]

All life matters, if you hold that view the size of the creature is irrelivant.

[@kathlenesims767]

Me too

[@andthoseotherguys]

Same here. My kids/wife are like "kill it" and all I can say is "kill it yourself". Lol. But I also stop in the middle of the road to help a turtle to the other side.

[@michealklonowski5267]

Nice gold for the time on the creek .thank you for sharing.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Cheers mate

[@VoGusProspecting]

Cheers mate

[@josephpecoul6532]

[@tazyt3388]

Great vid chief never look past a bar weather it's beer or gravel ,good times can be had mate .give the grizzly a pat from us cheers mate

[@randysmith3171]

thank you for the info. My problem is catching the gold that small. If do catch it i have trouble panning it. Even tried a miller table and watch it go off the end with the fine black sand. Any suggestions?

[@mattrogers6666]

I really enjoy your videos Chris! I also have a brindle prospecting buddy, Akiva the boxer girl! Cheers mate!

[@AmericanSurvival]

Maybe made below min wage, but the scenery and spending some nature time makes it worthwhile! Thanks for sharing, Be safe...

[@brettbullen956]

Always informative videos. Thanks

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks bro

[@placertools3529]

Great video as usual. Fire season there looks ominous on the news. I'm forwarding some BC rain your way.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Send it over bro

[@downunderfulla6001]

This is a really great video. Thanks 🍻🍻

[@jeffbybee5207]

Have you heard of dry land dredging? With the water in the hole seem like being able to vacume the bottom out cause it seem the shovel will miss a lot on the rough bottom

[@ippydan1174]

Thanks for the reo bar tip Hamish 😁👍🏻

[@VoGusProspecting]

:-)

[@MHPCollecting]

Another awesome video brother.. Keep the great content coming 👍✨⛏️

[@n1yln]

Thanks for another great video.

[@teajays681]

Learned something from this vid thanks meng!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Glad to here that

[@dyergoldprospecting]

Another great day on the creek I was wondering what size pump are you using and what size dream mat in that I'm using a 1100 gph with my 6x16 mat but it looks like you have more flow than I get

[@VoGusProspecting]

2000gph mate

[@jidtorre]

Nice work.

[@rockydavies9555]

Awesome video Chris I love your vids

[@709badwolf]

this was fun,,, but i’d be worried about that ant coming back with some friends! thanks for bringing us all along! 👍

[@VoGusProspecting]

He had friends, we chilled.

[@ausoutback1162]

really good chris thanks so much

[@VoGusProspecting]

No worries

[@matthewjohnson8695]

Another great video, thanks!

[@VoGusProspecting]

cheers brother

[@pulesjet]

Brain Food ! Good Stuff Sir.! Always wanted a little mini high banker like that.

[@trevdyer173]

Great clip yet again mate although I admit I will have to re watch it as i gazed out in the middle dc daydreaming about beechworth bakery pastry (expensive yes but sooo tasty). I'm glad that ant didnt get in the bag

[@xnakxx]

Can't beat a day like that man.! Out and about and come home with a little shiny.

[@SmithsCrhronicles]

i went last time and it seemed like so little when i find it, after the trip it turned out to be just over 7 grams though 2-3 hours a day over 15 days, i am limited due to injuries and crutch, all thanks to awesome channels like these

[@waynegutschmidt7586]

Another great video. 👍👍👍

[@aussieguy3689]

Hi Chris nice work mate ,as always another quality vid . Keep up the great work and give your site foreman a big bone for his efforts Grizz deserves it . 👍✌️⛏️🇦🇺

[@VoGusProspecting]

He'll be getting his bone for sure!

[@moonstarer55]

Yep another great video.....very informative

[@VoGusProspecting]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tschnedler]

awesome fine gold great video, perfect music !

[@VoGusProspecting]

Cheers bro!

[@MrCreepyc]

Love it some nice gold, my seasons over after seeing snow on the mountains DEVO!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Snow is a pain.

[@scottishgirloutdoors2662]

My sluice had miners moss and carpet, I hate the carpet 😣 hoping to upgrade to the dream mat for next summer 😄

[@brianblackwell2308]

Griz is looking at that rock pile snd drooling 🤤

[@RoosKohn]

You are getting so professional 😀. Just as I was wondering where Grizzly was he came into the picture. 3.3 grams is good. It took me 3 whole summer holidays to accumulate that much gold.

[@benwinter2420]

Good stuff . . lots of gold still out there , it's a big area being constantly eroded

[@patho7062]

High Chris What sort of battery is that . Keep up the good work. Can you please. Do another rocker box video the rocker box is a real sleeper in gold prospecting

[@emilmanyarski536]

Coffee and my favorite KZbin channel = Gold

[@geraldwilson8004]

Great Video!!!

[@DetectaBull]

Nice, well done matey

[@VoGusProspecting]

Cheers mate

[@geoffyplayz9523]

Hey Chris Got a few questions for u today First what water pumps do you use and where do you get them And have you ever been dredging?

[@ferdburphel2076]

Another quality video👍 I've got to say that battery just keeps going! $21 will buy you a matching set of gloves🍻

[@dennisstewart9245]

as always Chris excellent video and a nice little bit of candy, was that Ant dangerous? cheers

[@VoGusProspecting]

Very, they can kill you.

[@richardblades1213]

Old Boot Springs from Ford , GMH , and Chrysler cars make good probes .

[@LUCKYB.]

That tailing pile should be full of small pickers and fine gold . Then old timmers was after the big stuff .

[@garyanddoris6022]

Most enjoyed the adventure of bedrock gravel bars ...

[@inquisitivealbertan1712]

Ferocious ANT to Chris, I am coming back to my side of the creak and will wreak my vengeance on you. Informative video with great footage and editing. Thank you for sharing.

[@huskypilot6305]

Nice vid mate. I noticed you still didn’t get a double spray bar. Maybe just leave some of the larger gravel at the end of the hopper to slow down the wash until you can get the double bar. Give Grizz a pat for me 🐶

[@beaver_creek_outdoors2010]

Absolutely love your videos..

[@VoGusProspecting]

Glad you like them!

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

another great video dude!

[@VoGusProspecting]
