It’s great being able to see two versions of the same prospecting by watching both yours and Gadzee’s videos 👍🏼 Shame the gold gods weren’t kinder, but as you say - that’s what prospecting is all about…

[@Geaxuce]

Your videos remind me of unboxing channels only you're not trying sell people junk. The only thing you're selling is an appreciation for the outdoors, education and just a good time! Love your stuff, Chris!

[@mickme8914]

Bob is ALWAYS so very cheerful 😁

[@michaelwoodard9041]

Bro i love you videos. Very educational and cool to watch. You and gadsy are hilarious. Keep it up.

[@guillermodelnoche]

Did I catch a quick Bobby Duke dance there? Great video Chris!

[@toddstarling5214]

Thanks for sharing Chris.

[@andrewgivens5070]

Way to go man. I just found a few nice specimens in a hunk of quartz myself!

[@Greenandgold888]

I like that pick axe. it fits perfectly in the bucket!

[@scruggsbuster9458]

Yeah the hardest that got here in Arizona this summer was 120 degrees😅 with the wind blowin yeah I'd be curious to see how much gold you have in your wheelbarrow

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Thanks Chris for taking us on your journey and those are nice bits of gold in the pan at the end.

[@johncasebeer179]

I love your videos. Please keep up all the awesome work.

[@brettb3919]

Hey Chris, I too prospect in an area that was hydraulicly mined. I have a suggestion for you. When you find a bit with the metal detector, take a test pan or two from that spot. The process of hydraulicing the dirt off the bedrock can concentrate the gold in cracks in the bedrock, much like a river, but on steroids. I found a little picker with my metal detector, then worked out the one foot long crack it was in and found over a quarter ounce. That kind of crack is very rare, but it happens.

[@hasmeadali7316]

Awesome Mate Thanks again for taking me along.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Glad you got some gold out of the crush this time Chris 😁👍

[@josephwilliamson6878]

Ravens are good friends. Talk to them, respect and be kind. They have a most beautiful language too.

keep having fun you two. I'm having a Riot watching...as always

[@johnharrop5530]

Thanks for keeping real Chris

[@65thebluehawk]

Another great video.

[@MB-bt9km]

Do you ever consider taking a small handvac or shop vac out to get all that dry dirt and material off the bedrock? Something I've noticed Dan Hurd do. Also... as a prospector, do you ever review the local history as far as weather events and geological events go (earthquakes) or maybe recent events that have happened, and try to prospect around areas that may have shifted or changed? Love the channel Chris, RIP Griz

[@madman2]

In Victoria you cannot use any mechanical suction device on a creek such as vacuums or dredger

[@HookedOnFishing61]

Chris, firstly good video. Secondly, I went for a walk through a paddock yesty, found some conglomerate that washed down from the floods, crushed it and it had 12 specs for 1 handful of dirt. Great but does this mean there would be more upstream wherever it dislodged from ? ( hill behind my house is a huge goldmine) I'm wondering if it would also still be shedding gold. Hmm maybe it's time I join your patron, so many questions Haha.

[@joshuajackson6442]

Chris, thank thee so much for a ripping morning adventure! Cheers from Utah County, Utah, U.S.A.

[@russellbenson8544]

I just want you to know that the content of your vids is excellent.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

[@michealklonowski5267]

hey now,get your mine out of the gutter.lol thank you for sharing the adventure and information. lol

[@NET-POSITIVE]

When you have a horizontal vein so close to the surface, you should sample it well. It makes it so much cheaper and easier to work it as long as it's a good producer.

[@joannagrimmer]

Great video, Chris. What an impeccably squared of chamber. Not worth detecting their mullock pile? Can't believe how quickly the NE has dried out, too.😮

[@asjamuir5534]

Mining season is done here for another year but right now am scouting the river while it's high and after storms to see changes and try to locate a high bench of gravels or slack water in high flow etc

[@susanturcotte3176]

Chris, 2 spectacular pickers in your pan at the end, which surprised me at their size. Wow! Lucky you! About FB's ad withdrawal, it's outrageous! Why not tell you something is 'wrong' and give you a date to fix it? There are many people who rely on KZbin for their sole income. They don't have savings or 'jobs.' Isn't there a way for everyone to let FB know how mad we are and request an immediate 'refund' to you?? No wonder I rarely get on FB! I still get hounded by the same ads I hate and the ones I blocked because they were offensive! Just plain ignored. Right. Regardless, I pray for you and wish you much gold in you pans my friend! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@That_vagabond98]

You could probably train those crows to find sun baking nuggets in exchange for really really nice food, just need to run an experiment to find out what the most liked/addictive food is 😂😂😂

[@user-hp2um3jb3i]

Were i live in Idaho, is less than 30 miles from where gold was first discovered in 1860. And there's a lot of gold mining still going on

[@daleparker4207]

[@wendymorrison5803]

Yes, Gadzee us right. Put a current newspaper in that mine. A time line of intrepid prospectors.

[@paulconnell2385]

Hey Chris, (luv ya work n info....), Q- If there was a speci in ya pan would it stay, or get washed out cause it's predominantly rock?? Q2- you put back fly poo and say its gunna grow....Is this really what happens, or would it just go to whrere other poo hangs out?? Awesome crush btw,,,gota be happy with dat!!

[@mikeblair2594]

Have thought about thanking your neighbors who have to listen to a lawnmower for ten seconds multiple times a day? Just kidding, my neighbors hate me too. I'm a blacksmith who will forge until about two in the morning. But I get to make my own prospecting tools.

[@peteswan8572]

When using metal detectors, what brand and model do you use.

[@Dundee.]

i love the fact you are letting gadz get the video out first but i really think you should be linking his channel in the description, just constructive criticism nothing more my friend. The duo videos are sick

[@VoGusProspecting]

I've done so many times and have helped hom on the back end. More to this than a link in the description.

In summer, why don’t you guys ever bring a tarp for shade, for when you need to cool off? Heatstroke is a real thing. It’s horrible, not worth the risk.

Do/have you run into snakes. While doing what you do. If so what is/was the biggest and/or the poisonous.

Yes in fact he does, over the years he has shown a few, the most venomous one was a "Filthy shoveldogger" about 5'10" in length, scientific name of Seanohtoxicuss bustedknuckluss. A very feisty danger noodle indeed.
