How to find GOLD Sniping Underwater and more GOLD NUGGETS found

[@lengerer]

For anyone wondering, those gloves are called “glass gripper 3/4 dipped”. We use them at work. Buy them at safety supply places for about $2 per pair when you buy 100 pairs. Also good for gardening at home

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

What a fantastic location and some great drone shots too. The sunlight must have been directly over head when you were filming there because the underwater shots were nice n' sharp. Really enjoyed watching that one buddy.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

MrDazp1 thanks very much yes even overcast days seem to be the best for light with the drone thanks for watching

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

[@rehmankhan3991]

Nice bottle idea ,,,i suggest you also put little magnet bottom of the bottle and stick it ,,, it might help to stop falling gold completely

Rehman khan the gold is not magnetic mate but the gold can’t get past the brass tube inside

[@emielheeneman]

Nice video and here’s my thoughts on sniping gear. First of all, I do my sniping in cold conditions and use a tailor made 1 piece drysuit including boots with an undersuit and isolation socks to protect me from the cold. I also use neoprene gloves minimal 5 mm and I put aquasure on all the seams and fingertips. I prefer multiple layers and it will take a while, but I can use my gloves many times and I just repeat the process of putting aquasure on the spots where it weares out. I use tight gloves in the winter and usually new ones with aquasure to stay warm. I also bring a thermobottle with boiling hot water to rinse the inside of my gloves and neoprene hood to make them warm before my dive in. And repeat the process after about 45 minutes. It works great especially when you have new gloves without any holes in them. I use heavy duty beaver kneepads and they are lightweight and I use them many times over before they wear out. To carry a minimum of tools, snacks and drinks, I usually bring a drybag/backpack and I use old pieces of neoprene to cover the sharp and pointy tips to prevent it piercing trough my bag. I find it very handy to just bring a survival straw to drink safely from the river. I am now sniping for over a decade and find it very relaxing. The Nikon coolpix underwater camera is my camera of choice. Hope this helps and keep up the good work. Greetings from The Netherlands

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

MadDutchman wow mate that’s insanely good info thanks for that yes we have a product called sykaflex I was considering for the glove tips and knees. Most here in Tassie where a drysuit in winter I will probably upgrade at some point when I can afford I’ll being trying similar knee pads aswell a few people have mentioned them now. Thanks for the advice appreciate it and thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@1000000trs]

MadDutchman, thanks for sharing these extremely useful insights from your experience. I have found this very useful. Please can you advise, what things should I look for in dry suite for sniping purpose please ? Thanks

[@emielheeneman]

@@1000000trs glad you found it useful. The thing to look for is a drysuit that fulfills all requirements such as durability, a zipper in the front or at the back, with or without boots attached or just neoprene socks and seperate boots. Is it large/wide enough to fit an isolation undersuit incl. thermo socks and still be able to work comfortably underwater. Will you be sniping in warm temperatures or also in cold seasons. Ofcourse having deep pockets helps. Also once you have a nice comfortable drysuit keep your bodyweight under control as by gaining weight, the wrist and neckseals can get uncomfortable. What country are you located? I might be able to show you some directions where to buy

[@1000000trs]

@@emielheeneman Thanks MD. I'm located in UK. I have about 10 to 12 weeks in the summer when the river water is 17c (61F) or higher when I am comfortable in a 7mm wet suite _(I am sensitive to the cold). I need a warmer solution to extend my sniping season to late spring and early autumn, when the river temperature is typically around 13c (which to me feels very cold in my 7mm wetsuit - I start shivering very soon). I will Not be sniping in winter because the river water level is too high. A drysuit idea sounds like it might solve my problem. Though I have never used a dry suite before. I'm curious : is it complicated such as do I need to fill it with air? will it rip or puncture easily on rocks or nearby tree branches?

[@lixxxxit]

You should get some skate board knee pads.....they're very light weight, and have a hard shell to protect you and your wet suit.

Hey mate, with regards to knee pads, buy mountain bike knee pads. They are neoprene but with extra padded knees but not thick plastic

To keep knees from wearing out use rubber knee pads over pants wet suit. They work well in water. Happy hunting!

Hey Levi Been really enjoying your vids the last couple of days. Basically watched all your gold videos in 2 days! Couple of mates and I are heading up mt Darwin in a few weeks. One of my mates is going sniping. Wondering how you go in rivers that have obviously been worked before? Do you ever go over the same spots to find more gold? I reckon most of the places up there have been worked so do you think it’s worth really trying to find somewhere a bit harder to get to? Also not sure how this go with views but I would like to see a video of you unedited for 30 mins or so just to see the work your putting in to normally find some gold. Great vids! Keep it mate!

Awesome show mate, any advice on which part of the river concentrates the gold? Obv on bedrock like you've shown but like inside bends (leading or trailing edge) or rapids? I have a brother-in-law on the ringarooma river, reckon it's worth a shot next time we cross the strait? Thanks for the vids & close-up pics bro 👍

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Bro Foxx hey mate yes of coarse there’s lots I could have said like inside bends I’ve found in large rivers if there’s a large straight after the inside bend the gold deposits all the way down that side of the river. Also lot of people try get in centre of the river but from my experience gold is trapped closer to the banks due to the bedrock being coarser the centre of the river bedrock is a lot smoother from being worn by the passing rocks and gold just slips away the edges however expose new bedrock which is coarse great trap for gold 👍🏼 Ringarooma worth a shot I believe any large river will hold some sort of gold but it’s patchy it’s just a matter of trying 👍🏼 thanks for tuning in mate

Hey I’ve done prospecting for years and don’t ever do vids of my digs. You had asked what you can use to protect you ( Wetsuit or gloves tips ) or just about anything .. and the best thing for just about any problems with where and tear is ( Black Gorilla Take ) just make sure what ever your using the tape on that it is dry.

Hi there, underwater the gold stands out extremely well from anything else it’s very easy to distinguish the difference. I’m not to sure about Switzerland but if you have some nice rivers that have alluvial gravels that run over the bedrock of the river it would be worth having a go scratching out the crevices. You only really need a screwdriver and mask and snorkel to get started so could be a fun addition to a nice swim on a summers day. If you have a go I wish you luck 👍🏼

@@officialtassieboysprospecting Thank you very much. I'll try it in summer then :))

[@zg7278]

Interesting video thanks! I don't know if you need a wetsuit if it's summer and +35 degrees, but is it in the mountains?

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Summer water temp 15oC

[@zg7278]

Yes, these mountain rivers will be cold) Do you need a flashlight in such a river too?

[@zg7278]

@@officialtassieboysprospecting I bought a 7mm hydro suit) Would 5mm gloves be comfortable? Or better than 3 mm hands will not freeze?

Ouch man looks like you need new 🧤 of love.:)

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Gary Straw yes I’ve finally sorted that issue

[@trevdyer173]

You need to patent crake

[@g_manw5850]

Try carpet layers knee pads outside the suit

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Gerald Wilkie will do thx

[@katechildofgod2596]

Never felt your voice was boring. I have watched gold prospectors that get annoying with their presentation. Don't change. A suggestion for those knees might be a set of roofers knee pads. Thick knee padding with hard plastic knee covers.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Kathleen H. Yes thanks for that I will be trying the knee pads thx

[@michaelbishop4282]

If you have any old wet suits laying about you could cut a section off the leg or arm as use this as a sacrificial piece for your knees.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Michael Bishop yeh mate that’s what I’ve been doing however last trip I did was a new river and I covered 5kms by the end of the day the skin was worn on the back of my leg from it rubbing 😂 can’t win I’m gona try another wetsuit and try a good layer of sykaflex or something like that over knees

[@michaelbishop4282]

@@officialtassieboysprospecting Damn it, I thought I had a plan. Did you find any gold to ease the pain?

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Michael Bishop 1.8gms for 1nhalf hrs I detected most the day I’m excited to get back there stay tuned there should be a vid on it soon enough. The Westsuit material works tho I think the second lot I used was just to tight perhaps

[@robertbarrett5588]

Just spitt on the inside of your mask ,rub it around and rinse to stops your mask fogging up! Try some tight fitting knee gards from Bunnings for your knees! Keep the vids coming 👍

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Robert Barrett yeh I’ve tried the knee guards I must have got the wrong sort they love about to much spit works for an hour but i find the baby shampoo lasts most the day thanks for tuning in 👍🏼

[@tassiegoldman153]

Look up Tazzie Adventures his me dad and he has a beard and use carpenter knee pads my dad uses them to and that work so well

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Tasmania Prospector Golding hey mate yes I know your old man Brad he helped me in the beginning great guy I watch your guys beach detecting so cool I’d love to find rings like you guys do I’ll give the knee pads a crack cheers mate

Chriso 666 cheers mate will give a go 👍🏼

[@rainey06au]

The part in the credits was good. You should definitely be a little less serious in your main vids. You're almost monotone and straight up plain and cliche

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

rainey06au thanks for that it’s constructive critism I’m trying to loosen up a bit Speaking never been my strength but I do loosen up at times

[@rainey06au]

@@officialtassieboysprospecting good stuff mate, I really enjoy the vids. Your drone and scenery shots provide a good break in the prospecting shots.

[@californiaau3869]

Wear knee pads from Home Depot

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Adam Machado will try that
