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.

[@ashmason1330]

Good stuff guys Gadzee’ got the 🍀 of the Irish

[@willthedingo]

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.

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.

[@StaceNyourFace]

I appreciate what you did there, Chris! YOUR BODY, YOUR CHOICE! 😉Sending you love and positive vibes from The States! ❤

[@MadMarlin1964]

What a great compilation of three days. Gratz on the nuggets and you guys truly deserve them and more. Was great seeing Mick and Sir Spoonster too!

[@shawnowens8851]

I wanted to let you know I appreciate your hard work prospecting, but also all the hard work your putting into the way you share your adventures. Personally videos like this one while are perfection in my opinion. That said I enjoy all of your content and simply wanted to say THANK YOU CHRIS.

[@stevendale9907]

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

[@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.

I love you bro pioneer pauly and Dan hurd got me into prospecting shortly after I found you I'm tatted up and I love geology panning gold and finding treasures is in my blood it just goes to show never judge a book by its cover, I'm new to the community but I'd love to come out and do a video with you panning and some metal detecting I have another youtube called Cody's Prospecting well as always perfect content amazing video brother keep em coming always love seeing gold never gets old

[@emilmanyarski536]

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

[@martym67]

I have a helpful suggestion for you😊 Use a1/8 classifier.. Everything that stays in the sieve, tip it out on a flat spot, spread it thin (1"... - 2" max) Then simply run the detector over it. I do this with a gold monster.. can't miss even the tiniest bits.. takes all of a couple minutes, if.. And the pan full of minus ⅛ dirt is easy to pan quickly and small enough to get the flour gold without further classifying.🎉⛏️💎 Efficient es bro!

[@heatherwatson8273]

Hi Chris, that rivet you found is called a Stud, commonly found in a pair of Levi Jeans, great video mate.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Ah! Thank you!

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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!

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 .

[@davidraines1380]

The ring with slots is a umbrella slide. The slots are for the rods to ride in

[@mattbarcus1759]

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

[@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.

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 👍🏼👊🏼

Did find using a coarse sieve helped in breaking up the clay though not seen any use of one in the video's I've watched. Handy for use in the garden too when making potting soil from the compost heaps I have around the garden.

[@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

[@vincecotton127]

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!

[@ryanpurton2555]

Your doing better the more you learn and the more effective you prospect Chris. On the gold in clay debate I do a lot of sniping and have found most gold sits on the clay except for the proper nuggets over a gram or 2 especially if they are rounded and thick. I have found quite a few good ones scratching up spots that seem finished

[@Yuckster]

Ty for what you do and teaching us It’s great to see you so happy finding good gold

Nice video man. It had a nice variety of stuff. I guessed 1.2g so super close! what is the red rope around your dolly pot for? Is it to reduce the ringing or something?

Hey mate, most of us understand the "where to look" but I'm having trouble understanding the how gold migrates, an example would be that creek you say was flooded and then you found the nuggets, would they have stayed in that spot in the event it floods again and is it just luck in some fashion to find shedding gold like that?
