My Life in the Remote Bush as a Gold Prospector

Swinging a metal detector to look for gold nuggets is a challenge. If going gold prospecting during the hot summer months it gets even harder and a trip to town to get supplies might be impossible for several weeks. Being prepared for those situations is key when heading into remote areas.
Metal detectors used in this video: Minelab GPX6000 and GPZ7000.

Really good Chrissy it’s great to see more behind the scenes, a lot of viewers would have no idea the amount of challenges and things your faced with out there you did a good job showing and explaining also shows just how remote and isolated, really enjoyed this 👍🏼👍🏼

[@OutbackGoldFever]

Thanks so much for the feedback, Levi! Living out here is not like a walk in the park but a very enjoyable lifestyle after all 😁

[@randym8963]

Ah, two of my favorite ppl to follow and watch. I spend a lot of time in the Canadian bush, so I can relate. It's the same but different. My gold is wild foods and medicines. Stay safe ya,all

[@terry8728]

I love the extreme contrast between your environment Krissy and Levi’s. So different and yet both so beautiful! 😍

[@odurandina]

if failed snake detection..... snake guards.

[@Spudscave]

Love getting a notification from my favourite German lady prospector I really enjoy watching you at work you sacrifice a lot of time and effort in finding Gold and also editing your adventures for us fans to enjoy so thank you Krissy you are simply a wonderful person with a big heart all the best from Glasgow Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❤❤❤

[@pmg8504]

Chrissy, leave the bonnet up all the time when the troopy is parked so the mice dont think they have a dark comfy spot to nest in!

[@bobjoncas2814]

AS LONG AS YOU ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME, GOOD LUCK AND KEEP SAFE..

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

Pretty amazing views from ridges and nobody for 100s km - well done and keep safe Kris ⛏️🌴

[@Famo59]

Well done Krissy. Awesome editing skills and Drone skills. Cheers Famo59

[@OutbackGoldFever]

Thank you, Famo 👍🏻

[@caroljohnson8817]

You really such a brave woman! I love your adventurous spirit and independence. Hats off to you, girl!!!

[@danieldeanmasterfinisher4715]

With all that water you should be taking advantage and do some panning, find the washout bends , pick up on some fine flower gold . Show us them skills👍👍🍻😘

[@tracybrethouwer8752]

I look forward to Saturdays with Krissy! Thank you for sharing your outdoor experiences. 💛

[@ann-raelagrelle8312]

And your camp looks so comfortable

[@markseers8587]

Thanks for the video Krissy. Be super careful out there. Did a project years ago up that way and know its really tough country.

[@rsmileybetcher4098]

Best video yet. Really shows what it takes to be successful. Good job Kissy, awesome gold. And thanks for taking us with you and showing the behind the scene everyday stuff like turning around at the swap hole and going without bread. That sneaky snake comes back, you be sure to pop him with a stick, give him what for. Tell it to go catch a mouse somewhere else...🤠

[@dennishinkle5010]

Krissy it's good to see gold again. Please be careful of snakes and creepy crawlies. The flash floods can be dangerous so listen the forecast. I assume you have an emergency radio and plan. Your trip to town will be sweet with some gold. I guess that I worry too much about you. Good luck and good hunting. 👍♥️♥️♥️

[@lynnjudkins9078]

Loved it thanks

[@karenferguson4613]

Good Job 👍. Can't wait to see the next Video

[@sillywillie6484]

Awesome job !

[@ozdog822]

Hi Krissy.. My best trick is leave your truck bonnet open at night mate.. Mice and rats dont like star's! I'm on 300 acres of bush and it definitely works, ive had them munch my wires before . Love the videos 👌

[@The-swampratt-nest]

Crissy, I wish to share something with you that is going to seem really far out. I was asked to find where a sewer line was either plugged or damaged. I instructed the owner to water the distance between the house and the street. The next day I came back with some experimental equipment. I had fashioned a fish finder ( humming bird 400) puck to the lower end of a 4 legged walking cane and used a small 12 volt battery to power the display. Moving it around between the house and the street I was able to locate the soil pipe and by watching the display was able to track and find the crushed pipe causing a pinpoint dig area. I have often wondered if using one similar but a bit more advanced on the display to find underground rocks and even possables gold that may have worked it's way into deeper pockets that a detector may not be able to see. As long as the ground is wet the transducer should work giving a fairly good representation of the alluvial bottom and the top of the bedrock . Could give you an insight on those raining days. I have enjoyed your presentations and wish you the best of fortune.

[@metal_man67]

Living the dream!!! If my back wasn't so bad I'd be somewhere down under doing the same thing... good on you and I'm still waiting for the find of a lifetime, you deserve it!!!

[@iddym7582]

Nice to see you again!

[@raybulmer5707]

Thanks tor the exciting hunt. Im sure you know if you get stuck in a washout you simply walk back and get the Backhoe. 😅

[@bryanrotchell1565]

You go girl , good luck ❤️👍

[@biggkidd71]

Looks like you're also starting to do a little homesteading along with prospecting. Very cool, I've been homesteading off grid for 15 years here in the USA

[@bigtexasprospecting]

So proud of you Krissy! Thank you for sharing and continue to keep finding those nuggets 💥💪🤠

[@aleta5873]

Thank you for sharing with us. It looks like hard work. Happy for your finds.

[@lianeisme]

You certainly do it tough my girl, I do this every year yes it hot and the rubbish we dig is incredible. You show it how it really is not every hole is gold. I’m loving your work.

I'm just looking forward to the day that you find a reef and they write legends about it .thank you for taking us along on your adventure looking forward to the next one

[@robinculkin2286]

I love Chrissy she’s so brave , strong and full of positivity. I’ve been watching her from the beginning, she’s just a really good person in the most trying of environments, I don’t think I’ve heard complain, when she split with …. Never a bad word, not once. I’m a Committed FAN

[@GoldChump]

So cool to watch you I really enjoy this. I would like to hear more about the snake danger and how you are cautious with that.

[@mattduncan1118]

Happy Sunday Chrissy I know how hard it is in Summer to stay positive and enthusiastic. You do a great job.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Great drone shots! The outback is SO vast! And ALONE is very real! Amazing adventure you are living and sharing! Stay safe and keep swinging!

[@jmpattillo]

So much fun to watch this joyful person living a unique life.

[@waltlapiers7011]

So much respect for you and what your doing. I know how difficult it can be finding gold with detectors, especially by yourself in such an environment. Kudo's and keep the vids coming

[@nickfranklin1867]

Great work Krissy, a couple of nice nuggets! I hope the weather settles down so you can get stuck into the detecting, good luck!

[@MsCarissa007]

Hi Krissy - you do such a great job in letting us know what it is like. Really great to see you get some pieces 👏👏

[@jsidorable]

Bravo! An excellent video. So entertaining with a touch of suspense. I enjoy the drone shot that shows the vastness of Western Australia. And your very honest and personal dialogue set the tone for a day in the life .....Hope you made it safely into town and maybe got yourself an ice cream....you deserve it!!!

[@johncollier608]

You really are a lesson to everyone to ensure you're prepared for the bush and not to take unecessary risks when you are alone. It's very impressive the respect you have for your surroundings. Thanks for sharing, Krissy.

[@darlene2662]

Hope you find lots soon Krissy!👍🏼🙏🇨🇦😊

[@darrenbeasley3583]

Hi Krissy. Outback challenges can change your life. Nice nuggets. Great vid.

Hi from Adelaide again, Thanks so so much for sharing your experience. You know I'm a huge fan.

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Nice to see you have a drone to survey your area.

[@davemi00]

What a formidable piece of ground. Beautiful in its own way.

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

Krissy and the killer guard chickens...love the content and your independence.

[@zvonibab]

Krissy you are one brave woman, hat down to you and your hard work!

[@derekmay8679]

Love your stuff...very entertaining and informative 👍 👏. Love watching that gold appear .

[@derekmay8679]

Thank you 😊 💓.

[@williamnielsen3947]

you are living the dream no neighbors swinging a minelab and figuring problems as they arise, i have german in my background love my minelabs but live in the west where all the californians have landed on us, we germans are smart and tough we will figure it out

[@johnbaker5565]

A power winch with a decent length of cable would be a wise addition to the vehicle. Then I would research how to use it if there are no obvious places to anchor the other end. (Strong tree). Then again I would have turned back as you did, no point in inviting trouble when patience is the wise move. I punctured my petrol tank on a similar road to Exmouth (Pilbara), and it is zero fun being stuck on an empty road 40 km from safety. That said it is an adventure, you are young and the experiences you are now having will serve you well when your too old (like me) for such adventures. You make very watchable videos, thank you.

[@waywardwoodward]

Thank you so much for the look behind the scenes and the continued awesome content. I dream of reaching that land one day but for now Arizona is my mini version, without half the bugs. 😂 I spent the last winter, summer and now this winter off grid in my motorhome with no ac. I had the option but as you said, it was no fun enjoying it for a bit just to have to acclimate to the outside temps again. I kept it only for the worst of days. I chased the gold every night during the summer to avoid the temps best I could, winter isn’t bad. While I found some amazing gold and truly lived a bucket list section in my life, my soul still itches to see that beautiful land you wander. Thanks so much for a genuine look into a gold prospectors life over that way. Nice job searching out that shiny yellerrrr!

[@steviewonder8624]

Great video Krissy... you are a master of video production. Great to see a couple of nice nuggets there today.. you deserve them... that's a tough environment out there.. Fingers and toes crossed for many more nuggets from that system.

I watch your videos every day. Best wishes for you from Vietnam!

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

So glad you turned around!! Try soapy water on the tire to find the leak

[@michealklonowski5267]

gold or no gold thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😀 its great to see places that i probably will never get to see in person.

[@jpmarx660]

Love the video as usual Chrissy. Always an adventure.. The excitement for seeing you find the gold 🥇 is gratifying. Was nice to see Levi of Tassie boys to drop a comment.. united prospectors 🙏👍

[@richardporter3080]

Krissy i admire you so much, so many challenges but you never get down.❤

[@mattypurcell]

This lifestyle is so intriguing to me... love the content mate, look forward to more

[@williamjeffersonjamalphill4389]

Just wanted to say I think you're amazing! Iv been alittle scared to step out into nature after some health issues, but seeing you do this on your own has inspired me to get out there. Amazing ❤

[@roberthogan5154]

That was an awesome video of the great West Aussie outback with all the pitfalls. Looks like you were having a great time as usual & some valuable information for those that decide to travel there. I hope the weather changes for you & the bugs and snakes disappear. Take care Krissy and thanks for the video. A suggestion for your Pin pointer. Try putting it in a thick plastic Zip-lock bag. Only an idea, not tested. lol Stay safe until next time. xx

[@Toninz]

Good stuff Chrissy👍👍👍🇳🇿

[@thinkforyourself6953]

Everyday I check to see if a new video is posted, love the new mellow background tunes, pleasant and appropriate for the scenery and activity not so hard on the ears. Appreciate the effort you put in to produce your videos. Greetings from the California Motherlode region.

[@ravenfeader]

The key to living out there is making good choices and your doing great with those Krissy and learning to be Jack Jack of all trades .

[@groundhoggolddetecting6890]

Mackerel and baked beans my fave remote prospecting lunch. Combined with all that exercise, you will enjoy many more happy and productive decades in the great outback.

[@etarheel1]

You are one tough lady, I absolutely enjoy all your videos! I hope you find the mother load, you certainly work very hard for it. Stay safe out there!

[@ArtFullVibes]

always beautiful views

[@derekbrydon2164]

Great Krissy too see your still up for more adventure in the Pilbra and having found 2.86 gm's of gold in between the rain and heat. And you made the right call on turning back to camp as your on your own. if you had got bogged trying to get thru not worth it. Standing on the ridge overlooking landscape brilliant view enjoy it while you can every bit of gold is Awesome.

[@nedwik7109]

Such great content Chrissy!! You sure are one hell of a resilient and dedicated prospector. 👏 Watch those storm cells, I've seen lightning strike well outside what you would ever expect! I use the pro-find 35 - rugged and dose last however maybe on the bulky side. Keep up the great work, I'm thoroughly enjoying your adventures ✌️✌️

[@georgegarton8736]

You are so amazing your strength and stamina, don't know how you do it. If I was able to squat like you do, I'd never be able to get back up.

[@birdwatcher5928]

Really great video Krissy. You do it so well. Try a plastic bag around your pinpointer in the water if you have vibration option. Thanks so much for your efforts.

[@darrenpagett4456]

Great stuff ..I'll come out that way soon .nice to meet up .

[@markwigmore2103]

No luxury items, damn, no chocolate, wine and seafood. Another great video Chrissy!

[@anngough6867]

You are just so brilliant I wish you all the best stay safe good luck I hope you find a large nugget...

[@TalRohan]

I was going to say about 2g altogether so I was way off Amazing country it's incredibly big and such old geology, there is nothing young in that part of WA. You certainly have enough ground to keep you busy for years to come never mind just how long you are staying at the camp. Out there I believe the termites eat mostly grasses and spinafex so I assume they are concentrating the minerals the grasses pick up out of the ground, hence the noisy termite mounds Great to see you finding some colkour but not so great that you can't get into to town. Thankyou for sharing the awesome scenery , those drone shots are spectacular. Looking forward to the next one.

[@michaelripley4528]

Great video ! Love the drone shots and the Nature content - As Well as the findings - Hope you strike a Rich patch or a CHUNK, to keep you running… Love the lifestyle! You have some accent.. German Dutch Austrian?? 😅 Keep up the great videos, hard work and stay safe!❤

[@jonduncombe2658]

Ohh hard luck,next one I hope for you!!!

[@cisco6926]

27k, you’re on the way! Yay for big nuggets

[@Heidi666ke]

Hi Chrissy. Love your channel. Just wanted to let you know that the flying termites are edible and very delicious. You can either dry fry them or with a bit of butter. They are also edible uncooked but alive. When the rains start for us they come out like crazy to mate and then there are those that die. Please try it. A very high source of protein. Just my two cents😊Keep doing what you are doing. We love it. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@annakeye]

You are one smart individual when it comes to covering your various needs. I won't lecture you on the need for water but when you shared your vehicle prep and water routine it somehow made me think of the phenomenal Robyn Davidson and her almost 1700km across the outback from Alice Springs to the Atlantic on foot and camel. You seem to have a similar "can do" spirit that is impossible to ignore. _Kia kaha, kia noho haumaru_ Stay strong and safe.

[@user-br2bf1hl6n]

Really enjoyed this vlog Krissy. The country is very interesting. I'm sure you worry about flash floods and have a plan for such an event right? Thanks for taking us along and sharing. Safe exploring, Deb

[@OutbackGoldFever]

Flash floods are very likely to occur with big rain but not a worry when camping up high like out here. Rivers might not drop for a few weeks which is why there are plenty of supplies here to survive longer periods of isolation.
