Would you rather stub your toe on a house sized Lego or share this video?

[@triple_A_rockhound]

😂

[@SpudEngineering]

Stub my toe

[@mountianmike5588]

Congrats chris on the savory chunky 🐒 gold!!!! My guess was 5.5 grams. Next time dont forget the sweat pants and hand dredge! 🎉

[@markfryer9880]

​@mountianmike5588 He had the hand dredge, we call them yabby pumps, with him. Surprised that he didn't use it?

[@markfryer9880]

I really don't want to stub my toe on a house sized block of Lego. That would hurt too much! I don't really have anyone else that I can share this video with. 😢 Give Miss Fern lots of pats and cuddles from her 'Uncle Mark'. 😊 Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

99 buckets from Bruce's were done, 99 buckets were done. He dug in the ground, and swirled the last round, the challenge of 100 buckets is done! Congrats man, hard work pays off with great rewards, and we've enjoyed the hell out of the ride. Can't wait to see the big weigh up!

[@BenWoning]

Makes me happy to hear the happiness in your voice when you have days like this Chris. Nearly brings a tear to the eye to see your efforts and struggles pay off.

[@garryhill4494]

Congratulations, Chris, finally finishing your 100 bucket 🪣 challenge . 😊

[@susanturcotte3176]

Unbelievable! 🧐😮 Chris, not only did you find fantastic gold, but it was wonderful hearing you laugh heartely while doing it! An extremely successful day doesn't come along like that very often, either. As you have shown so many times, your area doesn't have coarse, thick, gold. I was so happy for you my friend! 🤩 By the way, I'm so glad that you weighed out well over my guess of 4 grams! 😳😎 I also appreciate you showing how to use a Bataya pan again. Many people do not know how to use it or how well it catches gold. There was proof in the pudding, once again. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us and I hope your pans and buckets are loaded for the next round! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@LisaHayes-yj4tp]

That's worth celebrating! Congrats on completing the 100 bucket challenge and finding Bonanza City V2. How frickin' awesome!

[@VoGusProspecting]

[@tommelvin6016]

Well done mate. Be proud!

[@Ironsja11]

Great job man! My favorite thing is sitting on a folding chair in the creek feeding a sluice box.

[@jacobkotter8693]

I love that you are constantly breaking your records. You are constantly learning and improving and finding more ways to master a craft that has no skill ceiling.

[@ssnerd583]

Bloody hell, Chris!!! I'm so happy for you in so many ways about all this!! I hope you can go back and get ounces out of that spot as you deserve it for all your hard work!

[@perrylander]

[@scottowens1535]

Hey you... A Owen's here. Never had the stars align. Enjoy learning. Ohh forgot to salute Bruce!!!

[@guillermodelnoche]

Gently spin the bucket back and forth… very gentle and it will break the vacuum. Awesome gold Chris!

[@xmj6830]

Finally! Gold!!!🤩

[@Advil1024]

GOLDS!! Found my first shotgun pellet and a couple tiny flakes this weekend. I have learned so much from watching your channel. I can't wait to see the cleanup and final weight from the 100 bucket challenge!

[@Jonthebelchingguy]

Unreal. I feel your joy from the comfort of my sofa.nice 1

[@hungryprospectors9260]

Amazing. Great day Chris! Fun, entertaining challenge with a glorious finish. Cheers to you, nice work! 😉💪✌️ Really looking forward to the 100 bucket gold grand total.

[@MadMarlin1964]

Pickery Bits… seems like that should be on some kind of merch. Gratz on a great day.

[@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt]

When your buckets are stuck together like that if you can grab one of the metal handles and turn it to the left and take the other handle and turn it to the right you can sometimes get them spinning enough that they'll separate.

[@kimmitchell5635]

Wow Chris 😮 I need to come to your creeks 😂 Congratulations Give Fern a pat for me

[@PowRKord]

Chris: If you drill a hole a bit below the lip every 120 degrees and put a grommet in each of the three, when you stack the buckets they can't vacuum lock together. And congrats on completing the 100 bucket challenge, ^5!

[@leonacrowley164]

Awesome job Chris you deserve a great spot. Looks like a good spot.

[@patrickmay4489]

I really enjoyed the challenge. Thanks Chris

[@gmm5550]

Seen ladys use those traditional wooden pans in rural Lao Vietnam and Cambodia . The men digs and carries buckets to the woman that pans out and they are like wizards with those pans its like a dance and pretty hypnotic to watch.

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

[@secretstreamsandfeverdreams]

I so badly want to be in the bush on the creek... Been more than two years now. I work week on/ week off FIFO, am a single dad on my week off work to two wonderful young kids, I just haven't had even one hour by myself when I'm not at work to be able to get to the creek. My soul hurts, I so badly need to hear the creek sing

[@stevenstrempke8883]

Can’t wait for the finale!

[@gabivalla6279]

New Holland Honeyeater, supervisor. Beautiful, course gold, Chris. Glee shared for finding this resource, and nearer home. "By the river of Fabulon, where you camp-chair sat down, there ye wailed, when you remembered flour gold, yeah yeah, yeah." Boney Erm... (Boney M got their name from the Australian TV series, "Boney", popular in West Germany, and the late, great Frank Farian, who voiced the Grammy Award winning and handed back Milli Vanilli. Or as TISM had it, "Don't want no fifties rockabilly, I want Milli Vanilli!" Lillee, Caught Dilley, Bowled Milli Vanilli.

Wow! Congratulations man! Now get up, put both arms up and chant "yes, yes, I'm the man!" This was a great series!

[@Scott-g1g]

Hello my name is Scott and I have just started panning and detecting, so what’s the first thing you do research and watch you tube. Your show came up first so I started watching. You have a great show and your knowledge on all aspects of the field is not only impressive but also inspiring. All the other ones I have watch are not as interesting nor informative. Well done. I appreciate your help effort and insight in this field. But your inspiration is amazing. Thank you

[@TonyBrown-lf5nj]

You my friend are experiencing you on gold rush . Awesome pans nice mini nugzz

[@thomaswinchester9730]

Great video,

[@garyscott183]

Nice video Chris.

[@stanleywiggins5047]

A tip to make it easier to separate your buckets, drill a half inch hole just below the big lip of the bucket, that will allow the air to get in so they separate easier 😊

[@Scott-mz8rc]

Awesome buddy good job love your videos

[@kentuckyprepper8488]

Love what you’re doing If I lived someplace that had gold like this I wouldn’t ever leave the creek but that why I don’t lol

[@dropsofink1336]

Wow 🤩 Good gold! Nice work with that pan! I need to get one of those.

[@VoGusProspecting]

You should!

[@athunasmysticadventures3200]

Good, great, amazing

[@MrTimNed]

Congrats. Let's see the total next.

[@emilmanyarski536]

Like like like, great video mate!

[@fredrichardson9761]

After watching your channel for a long time, this was amazing to see. An unheard of amount of gold from a single day of panning. And I'm really not used to seeing anything bigger than those tiny specs of flour gold on this channel! Great video and an awesome day!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Hope you've seen the last 5 videos, it's all course and chunky.

[@fredrichardson9761]

@@VoGusProspecting I will have to go back and check them out - thanks!!!

[@leroyg24]

That was a good hunt ma friend. Watching from Florida

[@EastBayFlipper]

[@deanrang2541]

Awesome ending brother

[@KenzosGoldProspecting]

Congratulations on your find Chris. Well done. A tip to stop your buckets sticking together. I drill a dozen large holes in each bucket. They never stick.

[@SleekredruM61]

Great video mate thanks 👍🇦🇺
