[@ghostrider82599]

[@WalnLiz]

+Ghostrider guitars ....Thanks for watching and hope you found it informative. I've been gold prospecting for just over 50 years now so I guess with time you hope to get better at what you do. . Take care and all the very best...Wal.

[@iphoneadamf]

This video helps us newbies more than you'll know!! Great video!! 10/10

[@WalnLiz]

Glad to hear that it helps you and best of luck on your next outing.

[@2lemonades]

What I love most about the digs you two do are the grounding part of it. I'm sure at times it can be some what dangerous and lot's of physical activity involved but it's very grounding for me. Very interesting and just being one with the earth. Thanks for sharing

[@WalnLiz]

+2lemonades ...Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoy some aspects of the vids. Hope all's going great over your way and all the very best for for 2016. Cheers Wal.

[@Outlander-51]

It's amazing how much I think I know then realize I know nothing really... This is another really great instructional video Walnliz and helps to keep the gold fever coarsing through my veins. Myles

[@WalnLiz]

+Outlander 51... I know that you know quite a lot when it comes to prospecting Myles...don't sell yourself short mate. Hope you found the vid informative to some degree and best of luck out there with the pan. Cheers Wal.

[@Outlander-51]

+Wal nLiz You are probably right but it definitely filled in some gaps in the knowledge base I would never even thought of.

[@FNBADVENTURES_FNB]

I'm going to miss our fishing trips and adventures we had mate, whenever I had a question about fishing, geography, gold you were always really excited to show me what you knew, I gained I world of knowledge from you , probably one of the nicest blokes I've ever known since I was young. I'm happy your no longer in pain Wal and now in peace and sending out big hugs and condolences to you Liz ❤️ I'm really sorry for your loss , you are his best friend and the love of his life always and forever, sending you prayers of peace and comfort 🙏 ❤️

[@glensmith654]

That was great I learnt a lot and it looked like there was a peace of gold stuck to the back of your hand Liz cheers.

[@WalnLiz]

Glad you enjoyed the vid Glen and found some of the contents of benefit. Liz did have a very fine piece of flour gold on her hand, but she tells me she didn't lose a lot of sleep over it. Take care and all the best...Wal.

[@jaffyger]

Another great vid folks very well explained and done and it looks nice and warm over their at the mo well done folks take care and best o luck.

[@WalnLiz]

+jaffyger ...Thanks Jaffyger...I t certainly is hot over here at the moment, and a great time to be spending on the creeks. All the very best...Wal.

[@kevingalls]

Thanks for the well done video and thank you for taking the time to review and edit the video to enhance it and make it as informative as possible.

[@WalnLiz]

Glad you found it informative Kevin. All the best...Wal.

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

Thank you for showing us about pannng. It helped allot. I enjoy watching both of you it has been lovely and exciting because it is my dream x God bless you both.

[@WalnLiz]

+Banjo111 1 ...Thanks for the kind comment, and glad you enjoy some of our vids. All the very best...Wal.

[@csabi72]

you guys are fortunate to live in the place where is gold can be find that easy, here in LA we have the san gabriel river , that a lot of people go to, but it is way harder to get gold from there, if you get any at all...

[@WalnLiz]

Hope you enjoyed the vid Csaba and hope the gold is kind to you in LA. Take care...Wal.

[@Tazzinaespresso]

Haha! I was at queens town a couple months ago, and went gold panning,however, the instructions were soooo unclear I just thought" hmmm. I'm sure data connects over here, I'll just look at one of Wal and Liz's videos!" Anyway, no luck, as I'm sure hundreds of tourists cleared out the lake.Thanks for making this Liz! Now I know go back and know what to do! Your kiwi fan - Jacob

[@WalnLiz]

+Jacob Siohane-Royle ....Glad you enjoy some of our vids Jacob and sorry that you missed out on getting some good colour.All the very best of luck on the next trip out and hope all's going great over there on the other side of the Tasman. Take care...Wal.

[@warlilatumena5201]

WalnLiz , wow,.. very good explanation with good reason, very useful information, Thank you.

[@WalnLiz]

+Warli Latumena ....Hope you found it informative Warli and that the gold is being kind to you over your way. All the best...Wal.

[@TheSnobar]

Hahahaha! when he emptied the gold my heart dropped !! XD Great video !

[@WalnLiz]

+TheSnobar ...Thanks for watching . When you know you have a few grams in your concentrates, no matter how good a panner one might be, it's always recommended to double pan. I've been panning for over 50 years and still stick to this basic principal. Best wishes...Wal.

[@rickrobinson3833]

Another great video you guys. Love to see your enthusiasm. Rick

[@WalnLiz]

+Rick Robinson ...Glad you enjoyed it Rick. Hope all's going great over your way...Cheers Wal.

[@aussiecamperman8382]

My Favourite spot..... great tutorial for beginners aswell. well done.

[@WalnLiz]

+Aussie survival UFO Hunter .. It certainly is a great location and the fine gold is a great learning area for those wishing to hone their panning skills. All the very best...Wal.

[@aussiecamperman8382]

Only thing I find annoying is all the Fools gold sitting on top of the sand near the banks and sometimes when I come across a newbie I play games with them saying they hit the jackpot, but always tell them the truth after a bit of a giggle and help them out.

[@WalnLiz]

+Aussie survival UFO Hunter ...There is quite a bit of mica in the sand out there, but it floats off very fast once in the pan. Great to see you helping the newbies out, as It's a great training ground out on that river. Take care and all the best...Wal.

[@delacruzctine]

you two are awesome! I wish I lived in an area where I could pan for gold!

[@WalnLiz]

Glad you enjoy some of our adventures Christine and hope you get a chance to have a go at prospecting for gold some day. All the very best...Wal.

[@michellepapanek6918]

great video/ have been float panning 50 yrs / told a young man yesterday to give a little back or the river spirit would take his vial

[@devito501]

Great video lizanwal . That gotta be one of the best lessons on how to pan in a correct manner. Hope your all doing ok down under an a happy new year to you .. Regards from Scotland once again .

[@WalnLiz]

+devito501 ...Thanks devito and hope all is going great for you over in Scotland. Take care and hope all your pans are Golden. Cheers Wal.

[@BushTuckerBunjie01]

love your vids guys they are very very informative, would you know if there is anywhere around the gold coast area that you can find gold or sapphires???

[@WalnLiz]

+Umpie Thanks for watching Umpie. Unfortunately not a lot of gold or Sapphires around the Gold coast. You need to travel south to the New England region or north west to the central QLD gem fields to find consistent ground. Take care...Wal.

[@BushTuckerBunjie01]

ok thanks

[@todcooper4707]

thanks Wal NLis for the video ! i have learned so much ! cant wate for spring ! every thing is frozen here . but i have bags of sand and some small rock, mix together and practice over a tub of water . your helping me get over winter time blues ! lol

[@WalnLiz]

Glad you found the vid informative Tod and hope when the spring arrives you get a lot of gold in those pans. All the very best...Wal.

[@mrt9930]

[@yackfzay6224]

That was fun seeing how the gold come out in the all that rock and sand.

[@WalnLiz]

+yack f zay ... Hope you found it interesting yack and all the very best...Wal.

[@yackfzay6224]

Yes it was. Thank you

[@einsteindrieu]

Thank's WalnLiz !!!!!---Good information !

[@WalnLiz]

+einsteindrieu ....Thanks for watching and may your pans be golden. Cheers Wal.

[@MylesNicholas]

A drop of detergent or ezi-wet solution etc. would be a bonus in the pan. The surface tension problem would disappear. Soil wetting agents at Bunnings come in all varieties.

[@WalnLiz]

+Myles Nicholas ...Agree with you there Myles and it certainly would be a good idea when panning out volume from a Highbanker clean out, in a flour gold area. For general prospecting where one can easily go through a couple hundred pans a day it wouldn't that feasible. Take care...Wal.

[@jgiroux333]

Alot of awesome information here. Thanks for the video guys, keep up the good work! can't wait to try this spring up here in Canada :)

[@WalnLiz]

Glad you enjoyed the vid and found it informative 333. Best of luck for this coming season and may luck follow you around on the gold fields. Take care...Wal.

Loving the content. You all should dig for them amethyst again with those nice new cameras of yours! Quality content!

[@philgunns130]

Top Video WalnLiz, very informative. If you can not pan after this video you better give up. We are lucky gold is heavy. Cheers Phil

[@WalnLiz]

+Phil Gunns ...Thanks Phil, and hope you have been doing well this season. The heat is a bit excessive but at least the water is warm enough for a swim between the digging. Take care mate...wal.

[@YFZMoto]

Love the Video and that was a nice bit of Gold.

[@WalnLiz]

+YFZMoto ... Thanks for watching Moto. This region is a favorite one for us, even though it only contains very fine flour gold. The gold here is a real challenge to catch in a dish, but it certainly lets you know if your technique is a little lacking. All the very best...Wal.

[@nuthn2do]

Great video, very informative and straight forward. Just subscribed to your channel

[@WalnLiz]

Thanks for watching 2do and glad that you found it informative. Best of luck on the gold this season...Cheers Wal.

[@prospecting3826]

Love watching this video mate, just so good, I reckon it's the best Iv'e seen on panning. Bless u guys.

[@WalnLiz]

Glad you enjoyed the vid and hope the gold is kind to you this season Take care...Wal.

[@prospecting3826]

Good on ya mate, only been out once so far, and got sun burnt on the knees...that was over two weeks ago, and still peeling, my fault forgot the sunscreen. Oh Wal, i have practised that speed panning technique, it's a beauty to getting through material quick.

[@rigel1176]

I don't know ,- you are still activ and or still digging .... ?! I mark you on KZbin ,- with Gerry from Two toes mining ,- and Gerry Smith from Barkerville ( Canada ) as best tutorial for gold panning beginners ...

[@WalnLiz]

+Caleb Bennington ...Glad you're enjoying some of the vids Caleb and hope the gold is being kind to you. Take care...Wal.

[@bigdaddy4432]

Hey guys, Love your videos they are super informative! I was wondering if you have tried a gold cube for fine gold retrieval instead of a regular highbanker? They are excellent for getting even the small float gold. Thx for all the great vids!

[@WalnLiz]

+bigdaddy4432 ...Thanks for watching. We tend to go for volume when prospecting and have tried the Gold Cubes but find they don't process quick enough. Hope good luck is following you around on the gold fields. Cheers Wal.

[@krisb3429]

You guys are great!

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Could you do a video on the likely places to look for both flour gold and the nugget stuff u've pulled out with ur high banker before. Not a specific place, but the type of place you're looking for.

[@WalnLiz]

+NeonsStyle ...Thanks for the comment Neon and the request. A few have asked for a similar vid to what you describe, so I will put it on the to do list. I'll base it on what and why to look for specific types of geology, and how the various varieties of weathering effects the size and type of gold shedding into that region. Best of luck on the gold....Cheers Wal.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Wal nLiz thankyou

[@macs8544]

Wow. I wish I could be at that place fishing and prospecting.

[@WalnLiz]

Glad you found the vid interesting Mac. All the best...Wal.

Good vid have tried this and it works good. When are you guys going to do some more videos on prospecting.

[@WalnLiz]

+Prospecting ...Thanks for watching. The weather is very hot in our region at the momesnt, so we look at getting back out to the prospecting fields as soon as it cools a bit. All the best...Wal.

[@prospecting3826]

Ok good on ya Wal, yeah been stinking how here in QLD too.

Hope you got something out of the vid Araceli..all the best for the new year.

[@araceliferreira6808]

@@WalnLiz Yes, of course. My husband's parents used to have a gold mining claim in N. California. We used to do gold panning for fun. I enjoyed it. But now, we're too old to do things like that so watching your videos and the like is so enjoyable for me. I kinda feel myself being there with you. Thanks for posting. BTW: Those are some big nuggets you get in Australia! Wow!

[@itzzzsss]

do they have battery operated industrial vacuums? use to use a plug in type when working once. is very strong. that would prob. suck up all the bits of dry dirt crevice between the bedrock 👍

I usually just get a sieve that fits onto the top of the bucket then fill the bucket with water with the sieve on top ten just put my material in and shake it in a sort of circular motion

[@Kevin-pq4jp]

Love your vids please make more mining vids on both channels and your vids are my fav on all of KZbin 😀

[@WalnLiz]

glad to hear that you enjoy some of our vids Kevin. We have been busy this summer on refitting a boat, but now that the weather has cooled a bit we will soon be back out in the prospecting paddocks. Some new vids will be on the way very soon mate. Take care...Wal.

[@Kevin-pq4jp]

Wal nLiz i am so happy to here that i only watch your mining vids

[@Kevin-pq4jp]

Wal nLiz and also i had forgot about the seasons change in Australia because right now in canada it is winter

[@WalnLiz]

We've had a hot one this summer Kevin with temps over 40 Celsius for many days on end, making prospecting very uncomfortable. Hope you are keeping warm in Canada and best of luck for the coming season. Cheers Wak.

[@ghostrider82599]

hi guys! love your show :) I've been watching the lava flow on Hawaii and wondered if there is gold in a lava flow would it be deposited in the channel like it does in water channels? or does liquid gold behave differently? also would the pockets in this lave flow be creating Quatz crystals, gems and mineral deposits? cheers

[@geraldlomas7126]

I enjoy your clips. where in nsw are you finding this gold for panning? ive tryed many places and am not getting any color. Thanks

[@WalnLiz]

Glad to hear that you enjoy some of our vids Gerald. This vid was shot at Oallen Forde on the Shoalhaven River. Best of luck...Wal.

[@geraldlomas7126]

Thanks for the tips. muchly appreciated. by any chance could you direct me to some places in nsw on the new England parts as we live in Brisbane. we have been to a couple known places but they were obviously only good if u had a detector. we are wanting to pan. Thanks again.

hi great video very informative i have yet to start prospecting but am very keen,is there any where in Sydney that i could get a basic set up equipment and also not asking for any specific secret spot but is there a region close to sydney that produces gold and or gems?

[@WalnLiz]

Thanks for watching Paul. A basic set of sieves ( 1/4" and 1/8" ),and a gold pan can be purchased from Miners Den in Parramatta, or you could get them on line from outlets such as Detecta Den at Batemans Bay who very often do extremely good deals. The Oberon region is the closest to you for both gold and Gemstones. The Turon River around Sofala is a great starting point for gold and Little River not far from Black Springs will get you some very good Sapphires. A great place to practice your gold panning is also at Oallen Forde on the Shoalhaven as this spot has a guarantee of fine gold in every pan. It's only a 2 hour drive from Sydney as well. Good luck with it....Cheers Wal.

[@tiocfaidharla632]

[@chubbu28]

I was soo shocked when wal dumped the gold! I dunno he was sweet being a teacher or an overconfident man! did u guys get it all back plus the new stuff? there were a few flecks on your fingers and one on the back of your hand liz. what do u do with it next?

[@WalnLiz]

+chubbu28 ...Thanks for watching and your concerns chubba. We retrieved "ALL" the gold and weighed it to make sure when we got home. The few specs of flour gold lost are so insignificant that they are impossible to weigh on even the best scales on the market. We've been doing this for over 50 years, and over that length of time ones confidence in technique grows to a point that panning becomes second nature. Double panning soon tells you if your making errors, or going too fast. We rely on volume panning to achieve our results and in doing so have been well rewarded over time. We use the gold we find in our jewellery creations. Hope all's great over your way....Cheers Wal.

[@chubbu28]

+Wal nLiz yay wal. show us the next step. I keep looking for nice rocks . I may have found a ribbon stone .

[@WalnLiz]
