The Gold Ore Dump Left Abandoned for 140 years! | Keene 161 Dry Washer

[@TheOMT]

I'm actually convinced that my life is governed by a slightly different set of physics than the rest of the universe operates on. This explains why I'm constantly dropping, bumping, tripping.... you get the picture.

[@VoGusProspecting]

I live in the same universe as you

Loved the slow motion of Fern taking a drink. Give yer doggo a scratch behind the ears for me :)

[@AaaA-on1jq]

Chris, just a hint of how to make sure you wont have issues with that new hand truck you got. Buy some. Solid tires and replace the ones it came with. I modified mine and never had issues with flats or trouble hauling extra heavy weight. It pulled like a dream in sand and on rocks. If your ever out and something goes wrong, with the solid tires you can insure your ability to haul a person out without ending up stuck from a flat. Thorns can be a real hazard in an emergency. Much love.

[@TalRohan]

Excellent thought to passon

[@stephenshort839]

I replaced my air tires with solid tires and never had a problem. 🤔🤠🌵

[@wendymorrison5619]

Just check King all the bolts before going out.

[@davidkelly1298]

I love it when he turns on the big crusher Fern runs over with a toy and drops it looking at the crusher like "what.. it's not play time?"...lol

[@glenbalk8350]

Great work mate, you have come such a long way since I started watching you years ago. It’s great to see you having success in what you do. Thanks for sharing the journey.

[@estarszak]

Warm weather is almost here in Colorado! Your video is getting me all excited!

[@geradkavanagh8240]

lol. remember replacing clutch in a holden rodeo a couple of years ago. We put one component( clutch fork in backwards) and after reassembly ( including fitting gearbox, exhaust pipe and driveshaft ) couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Eventually found out why using a mechanics endoscope and hunting for the problem. Result. Dismantle it all again and redo it all. Also had to replace the brand new throwout bearing as well as inverted clutch fork had broken some special guide tangs on it. Cost $120 for throwout bearing and nearly 8 hours labour time.

[@stevezozuk9622]

Yah I get that...me and Mr Murphy are tight , he's always got my back. lmao. That is a lot of gold for only a bucket and a couple pans full. Great recovery on that location, See you on the next one . Cheers

[@GSProspecting]

great job all around fam. keep on having fun getting that AU. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@bobweyand5305]

So take the crusher and dry sluice in the wagon to the mine dump. Consider taking a wheel barrel if you have one your dry washed dirt in to take home, good luck, happy hunting.

[@davidraines1380]

Chris it’s called Murphy’s Law what ever can go wrong does. Nice take of gold. Can’t wait to see your next video cause it looks to be a good one

[@Stufireman]

As soon as I have my own accommodation I'm heading down to Vic for some bush bashing and a possible picker or two, or.....

[@rickreimer1050]

Amazing what was left behind and viewed as insignificant by the old timers. Thanks for sharing Chris.

[@Spudscave]

Hi Chris you did wheelie good making your cart

[@DarrenShinn]

I have been trying to get on board with the dry wash. I so get why u guys lub it, for no water areas and such. I just dont enjoy watching it as much. I want to but i dont know why i cant connect. Maybe cause there is always water where i am or maybe i just like to see concentrates and wet pans. Just wanted to share for what its worth. I love the channel and for what u stand for so i am a lifer as far as subscriber. Well that is if we start politics and religion. Lol. Not that either of those are important, its nice to do and see what got us all here.....Prospecting! I guess while for some reason, i am sharing i thought ur motivational monologues along with video were just awesome! Not only did i enjoy the content, but relate with a positive message. It absolutely made me feel better that day and made me try and apply some of the things u said. So thank you for making that day for me better! Just wanted to share. I shut up know. Keep them coming!

[@blech71]

Glad to see you running your air and feed as low as possible. So many people know fuxk all about how to actually run their dry washer. U only need enough air and Vibration to keep the flow fluvial in action. I had a feeling you would actually catch small pieces. It was odd at first to see you using the completed enclosed version but then I recalled hearing down there u can’t make dust airborne? I may be wrong but I thought to myself that may be why the unit chosen. I love Keene gear. Pat and the guys are awesome there and Pat def holds some of the best outings here in the states. Great vid as always bud! Keep up the great work.

[@geoffyplayz9523]

Your construction of the little trailer had everything an episode of gold rush has: new equipment arrives, someone builds it wrong, it takes way longer than expected to build, it has to be modified/fixed, and then finally some mining is done Have you considered a job in reality tv?

[@angrylittlespider4593]

Mate, this is REAL reality TV. That's why we watch. You and I have great taste in entertainment! 😃

[@weekendwarriorprospecting817]

0.76 in the pink pan. That would be 1 good bucket of dirt 👍🏻⚒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@hiddentruth1982]

wonder if you could set up the crusher above the dry blower and slow feed it to make a portable system for that area.

[@steven_ewen]

Did Mick build you your metal boxer? Great video Chris. Thank you for sharing your adventures

[@insidebendprospecting]

Something tells me the Keene rock crusher and the dry washer are gonna have a date up in the hills above nugget gully soon... Nice job Chris and Mick!

[@Chris-vt5zb]

Another cool vid😊 enjoy all your hard work to bring us content.Cheers 🍻

[@mikeplant9163]

2.68 grams , nice trailer mate. could use it when empty for a coarse classifier. all you need now is a quad bike to tow it around.

[@dack4545]

That was a nice take 👍🏻 rough looking stuff too

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

I guess around 4 grams and wow just one bucket !! Damn that is Freaking Awesome Chris .........

Are you going to bring the larger rocks home to crush? Ie take them out of the leavings from the dry washer leavings?

[@melvinroehm821]

That's a pretty nice little deposit..hope u guys make some good 👍 $s...

[@MaddyBoi_86]

Great work Chris, good find. As for the one bucket worth I'd say around 4.5 grams.

Yay you got a trolley ...hope it's as useful as we thought....the old timers knew how to miss gold didn't they ....good for you though

I think it looks like deep pile of fine gold. It's so rich. No gaps. That almost looks over 1/4 ozt maybe even 9.397 grams? Maybe a 1/4 ozt actual weight if you refined it lol

[@tedmoser3657]

That's every parents comment on Christmas Eve, "Oh Jesus, there's tools involved"!

Great video, Chris. I’m guessing around the 1.8-2.4 gram mark. 1.94 grams if I had to guess a bit more accurately.

[@KingFPV]

LOVE the Gorilla Cart; DO NOT regret buying one!

[@ut000bs]

The biggest nugget I ever personally saw from a mine here in the US weighed 61 grams so we all don't get to see the really big ones. One day maybe I'll see a 2-ouncer. One day... lol

[@alicegriffin402]

Hadn't you added a 1/4" screen on top after the first time you used it?

[@zakthewarcat3172]

you did it wow !!!

[@dennisstewart9245]

great video Chris and i will guess 1.21 in the other pan cheers

Hi Mr Vogus. I think there is 5.1456 and a bit grams for the bucket give or take a bit.

[@Insideoutie]

Also I am very excited for your upcoming adventures. You really deserve to hit the big time. Also I am looking forward to my prize for guessing the right weight. Please don't freight it to queensland. I will come down and drive it back myself.

[@daviddavids2884]

great vid. seems to be a shortage of shake, at the top of the dry washer.

[@VoGusProspecting]

You have just discovered frame rates. High fram rate in the camera, less movement in film.

was gonna tell ya to get one of those, but. i guess i dont have to now.. it's what i use.

Are you allowed to take the crush up to that site?

Where did you get the shirt I got to know 🤣🤣

[@DenverDave303]

Whats up Vo-Gus Prospecting ...I love all your content, Even your shorts. One thing I was wondering if you use any type of liquid surfactant? This will help with how often you deal with dry washing and all your fly poop. Keep it up.

[@phickleprickprospecting]

How far out do you have to haul that stuff? Lot of work but got some nice shiny, guessing 3.141g on the bucket

[@jjdjj5392]

Such a cute dog! Looked twice at the camera....

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

Well done lads and go the jigsaw puzzle of do it yourself lol lol How good is that well done with getting all the gear there too lol lol I have a spot in WA for that thing We found over 20 ounces on it I recon there is more in the dirt there Cheers 🍻 Guys CrouchOz

[@1kreature]

Seems to me that the stuff needs to be crushed before going through the dryblower. That will allow it to be tuned to finer degree and allow it to catch the gold that would otherwise make up too small a fraction of a specimen to be caught. Not to mention the larger bits that your screen removed all together. Wonder what great gold was hiding in that.

[@thenormanclan]

Same shit happens to me always!.. if something can go wrong etc it will. Another awesome video mate! Your killing it!...

[@stevebevan3669]

If your going to a dry wash area and know you will be going back multiple times why not take some extra water bottles each time and stash them until you have enough to run through a wash and recycle the water being used through the sluice?

[@TheMultisportGeek]

What does Fern eat? Raw diet? Anything special or just normal fry food? She’s in great shape

[@VoGusProspecting]

Prime 100

[@margf.6773]

If you had gotten a harness you could have had Fernie pull the wagon........

[@timleary8279]

4.2 g. Nice work.

[@Aussie21717]

Why not take your hammer mill and dry blower to site. Process straight into hammer mill, then fines into dryblower. Only bring concentrates home. Might not process as much but will be alot more efficient and higher values and only have to process once.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Not a bad idea

You should of bought the kmart version of that trolley its all ready put together 🤣

[@majorronaldmandell7835]

What exactly is a reef? How is it made?

[@m.s.2926]

In short 😂: They are made of plate tectonics, the motion of the earth's crust. The crust consists mainly of 14 lithospheric plates, all in constant motion. The boundaries between the plates are called plate boundaries. This leads to earthquakes that create cracks in the plates which then carry lava with Au up to the surface. 💚🤟
