How I Dredge Creeks In Australia for Gold 🇦🇺

How I Dredge Creeks In Australia for Gold 🇦🇺
I take you on a journey to an Australian creek, where I use a hand dredge to suck up gold nuggets and explore the rich, gold-laden waters. Equipped with my custom gold pan, I'll show you how effective and fun it can be to prospect for gold using these tools.

Fast facts make people comment who never comment. Comments drive the algorithm. My plan is working splendid! Who's here to comment about the fact 😅

[@Trashbd]

If it is interaction you want, put up faulty facts so people gets triggered to make comments...

I've been playing around with the Old Mouldy pancake gold pan at home using stream gravels and sand I brought back home from previous fossicking trips. I tested its performance against my small pan using the same dirt and various screen classifications. The pancake pan was significantly and consistently faster and better at retaining the heavies, including gemstones. The small size is useful since it can be operated using one hand while continuously feeding dirt with the other hand. It will be a welcome addition to my backpack.

[@Heapsgoodprospecting]

the pan would be good for lil back water creeks with not a lot of water too id imagine...definitely changed my mind on it with this video Chris!

[@Druid99]

Nice little pan. There's beauty in simplicity. Liked the POV perspective. Blessings to you, and continuing success.

Some fantastic gold and that pancake gold pan works so well. Love being able to support you as I get so much enjoyment from your channels. I live in the UK and visit North Wales quite often, will have to get some prospecting equipment as it produces some great gold.

Hi Chris. I stopped keeping up to date with you when the Pandemic took hold of my attention. I love your work. It's great to listen and learn from a true blue. I haven't been home in almost a decade. It occured to me that one day a person who learned from you might find an almighty nugget. Wouldn't that be awesome. Anyway, love ya brother. Take care always.

[@danielporter9193]

I like the thumbnails with information but some of us aren't speed readers and I have to pause the video to read it all. Keep up the good work

[@TalRohan]

excellent circle pan ...I like that you kept the price in line with other pans ...high five on that one ....the platter griddle riddle circle pan rocks, Something no one has touched on with Yabbie pumps is that, if you do happen to drop any gravel out of it, you can just slurp it back up again and have another go so no matter what you're never actually going to lose it. Several somebody's are going to have a really nice little bag of dirt. I like your product style.

Love your work mate

[@susanturcotte3176]

Chris, I really appreciate how you put up the facts about gold and mining. All those who are either new to prospecting or your channel will learn a lot more about gold to guide them forward. Thank you my friend! I also learned something new, when you wrote that the deepest mine is in Africa. 😳 (Note to self: tuck that fact inside your brain). Very interesting! 😁 Although you are going to wait to weigh the gold and reveal the amount later, I'm already on the edge of my seat! 🧐 Especially the larger coarse piece, as it is not seen in that size in your creeks. Beautiful piece! Until weigh in day, I send you blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@andrewhewes2461]

Thanks Chris, I'll stay with relaxed rather than hyperactive, although I think it shows with the stripped-back equipment and methods used, your efficiency is nonetheless visually dizzying! The added bonus to the Vogus of the bucket seat in the middle of the creek, much harder for creepy crawlies to creep up and crawl upon thee unless they can walk upon flowing water. Avagoodweekend!

[@auca]

very good video. it reminds me of the first ones you uploaded to the channel.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Glad to hear that!

[@haynerbass]

I really need to see you test that pancake pan in a large basin so we can see how much or how little gold is lost. Might help sales to see how good it works.

[@whosaidthat5236]

Those yavi/yabbi pumps … however you spell it, I bought some water cannons for the kid when in the pool. They are the same design, you would just need to cut the plastic screen and the pool noddle off, it only cost $12.50 in Canadian Passos. And your new pan looks a lot like some camping dinner plates.

[@user-ok2vl1yo5s]

Your pancake pan looks like it would be perfect for mossing flood gold zones, that moss will grab gold like miners moss. Hello from alaska

Gday Chris. For the algae rhythm....

[@Gajafar]

Cool vid. You do better with type of yabbie pump which is connected to a bucket with a hose like the gold n sand. Saves you lifting after every pump. Had one for over 10 years now. Cheers

[@johnnyboyce4914]

Chris, have you ever thought of putting a suction cup over the end of the yabby pump? so that it covers a greater area and would help with suction on un even surfaces. Im not saying its actually going to stick to the bedrock but should help with greater suction

[@donhoughton271]

Nice spot and nice gold 😊😊

Thanks 👍

Would it be worth it to fill a pail up with the good looking quartz and grind it up for processing?

[@markpashia7067]

I was just thinking that if you have quartz piling up below a drop off, there must be some "hidden" weight to it and then you said it was worth crushing. Only makes sense.

Look, you're wrong. It's that simple. Trust has nothing to do with it. So long as you don't overload it with dirt you won't lose anything. It's impossible because you're not tipping the pan at all.
