Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...

Thanks mate, I try to capture the complete chaos that happens on the creek in a constructive way haha

Thank you. God Bless

Hi Vo-Gus , The thing that your friend found at 13.29 is a part of an old umbrella . I do metal detecting in France , and also searching gold in french's rivers .

[@wikkidme755]

Your very lucky to have solid mates like Gadsy and Mick. We need to see more of them too.

[@akakscase]

Old rivets (for leather and heavy canvas) are the boon and bane of any relic hunter. They are good indicators you are in a spot at least 100+ years old, but they sound SO GOOD and then just let you down.

[@jonathanbrewer3051]

Almost 2 am here in Colorado and my son and I are in his parade for his elementary school in less than6 hours so I hade to save it to watch later. Definitely hit the like before I closed.

[@wendymorrison5803]

The tiny round metal item is a collar stud. For fastening a seperate white collar to the shirt. Not average miners gear. Implies they had a long term camp there.

[@mikeblair2594]

Leather rivet and the buckles are from horse/mule tack. I.E. someone was packing their gear in on a mule. The reason I say pack mule as opposed to horse or burro is a mule can carry a lot more than either and that's not riding horse country. So pack buckles it is. Plus I run pack strings into the ochoco here in Oregon and I usually make my own tack.

Oh hell yeah! Also to be said - appreciating these longer videos. Good to leave on while watching and listening across the table while drinking coffee, or getting smothered by the doggo I'm dogsitting at the moment.

The round thing looks like the part of an umbrella that holds the spokes. Awesome channel, keep up the good work.👍

Very cool video mate, I cant wait to see some more from that area!

That’s a great couple days out prospecting I enjoyed that combined episode a lot. Good to see your friends as well YO gad zee and mick👊🏼 after all this time watching your channel and seeing what gold is worth in Australian dollars I’ve decided to send you all my gold to sell…. Son of a… as I’m typing this after a 14 hour work day I’m realizing that once I convert it back to USD all I’ve done is wasted time 😳😬 thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

Leather rivet, you were correct!

[@splatterize]

That round thing with the slots in it you found has something to do with sewing. I can't remember exactly but green mountain metal detecting found some and knows what it is.

[@jamesolson4420]

Love your products. Ive built a clean up sluice with your mats and I can run a lot of dirt down it and never worry about ever losing anything. And I don't have to run it anymore than once

This was definitely a great video with some crazy gold! Still waiting for the small blue pan that has the snakeskin riffles so I can process my paydirt from you and Klesh. 🤣🤣🤣

[@soggybottomgoldprospecting3586]

I love rock crushing videos. I know that they don’t get the views that others do but it’s the surprise factor. I have been crushing rocks found around a old stamp mill during the first gold rush in America before the 49s hit it in Cali. I am just waiting for the rock with a couple of ounces gold. Great ink slinging .

[@cindydifatta9012]

I'm absolutely loving the smelting of the finer gold into a ball! And....you are getting so much better at it! 😁👍

[@mattbarcus1759]

That last creek looks similar to what I dig. Only my big boulders were brought by the glaciers from Canada.

[@steven_ewen]

Wow! Great video Chris. I've been wondering about the fluid bed sluice and if you guys still used them at all. Good to see you having fun. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Cheers 🍻

[@sk8pkl]

If i were u, i would connect a flexible conduit on that shopvac rock crusher air output and let it bubble at the bottom of a bucket of water to keep the dust in water and then u can pan that out to see if u get any gold out of that dust. Very very nice vid! Loved it!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks mate.

[@ut000bs]

I learned to pan with a 60 year-old metal pan. I still have it and it is now 108 years old. The first plastic pan I used was a Garrett. I thought it was different and maybe a little more forgiving of sloppy panning but is it better? The jury is still out on that one. I labeled them both good and even interchangeable. I'm not going to say that you, Mick, and Gadzee had good luck because your luck is just starting to go supernova. Just watch

[@Bonamici]

[@blech71]

This channel has offered up so many little tricks, tips and general actionable information for my own personal journey in the hunt. There’s a bit of conversion we must make taking the information given for the locale these gents are in and apply them for the locale I am in. It’s worked out so well and I have been able to apply many of the little juicy nuggets of info over the past two years scouring they vids and continuing to learn and apply as stated above. I’m in the western Mohave just on the backside of the Sierras. Thanks for all the great info. You don’t know just how much you have benefitted others sharing your awesome practical real info.

I’m relatively new to gold hunting, my great grandfather passed away of recent and found some old locations from the 30s-50s of places on the Umpqua river!

Love the vids mate. It's the reason I've started getting into gold prospecting myself. Not many places around me to look though. Helps get me out of the house too which is good for the soul. Looking forward to seeing the next one.

@@VoGusProspecting 100%. Even my kids are showing interest. Might head down to Kangaroo Valley in another week or so. Mineralogy maps seem to suggest pockets around the rivers and the vast majority is crown land. Bathurst and Orange also seems worth looking at.
