[@williamstafford8324]

You took the words right out of my heart😍😊😊😊😊😊😘😁

[@seantilson6330]

Yup.! 👏👏👏👏

[@pcken9067]

Celebrate every single achievement Chris, you have worked hard to reach this point! What an awesome treasure hunt!

[@mckenzieforman9384]

At the risk of sounding like a big sister, super proud of you for getting out on your own! Always cheering you on in your quest for personal growth, no matter how trivial the act may seem. Awsome hunt as well!

[@IcedVovo1975]

Wow Chris! Your personal achievement is outstanding. I loved the joy you showed each time you discovered your little pieces of gold. I have decided to call you Golem!! You had me smiling along with you. Thank-you for everything you are sharing. Your videos are a delight to watch.

[@Druid99]

The Alone Happy-Dance is pure joy, oh, and yes, The Gold!😎 Blessings to you, Chris, and continuing success.

[@nickitoff9629]

Thats an awesome testimony! Dealing with agoraphobia myself. It's tough, but your videos are encouraging!

[@VoGusProspecting]

Appreciate that mate!

[@chrishanterman6476]

Way to go man. Ps you are a inspiration beyond belief . I have suffered with depression issues for years. Most likely due to heavy drug consumption. And also stemming from issues from my child hood. Listening to you be so open about you’re life and pdst has really opened my eyes to the fact that I’m not alone and my thoughts don’t have to be mine and mine alone. Anyway man keep being you man and as always looking forward to the next video 😊

[@VoGusProspecting]

Hope you're feeling a bunch better these days mate

[@MadMarlin1964]

Dude, I’m so excited for you! How excited? Vesuvius outcropping of happiness!!! That made me laugh… well, that and the miner dancing.

[@cindywachendorfer8972]

Yahooooo🤑🤑🤑 Chris you are the man! Super proud of you. It's hard to get your boot around to your butt to give a good kick, but you were successful. Mom, my best friend, died in March of 2020. It's pretty easy to stay in the house week after week. Your channel is very special to me. Not only your love of the hunt for gold, but your love of your fur kid, Fern. We lost our boxer, Gertie, in June. She was 14. Boxers are special! Keep the videos coming. This 65 year old is living vicariously through you😂😂

[@ScottishGoldHunter]

Wow Chris😯 You deserve very little bit of gold you find👍🏻 Thanks for sharing and can’t wait for the next⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@salishseaquest7952]

Your sincere reactions are true treasure. We're proud of you, Mate!

[@laurenolsen5002]

Chris, saying this video was amazing is a complete understatement. Your takings for your work are out of this world and are the ultimate reward for all your energy to get out there, on your own for this hunt. I too know the comforting and enabling feeling of having a friend come along to various day-to-day life events. And also the inner success felt when you push yourself to do it on your own. 1000/10 Chris. Well done. Hands down, your best video yet! Can't wait to see the other boogas you've found here in an upcoming film.

[@Angry_Ash]

What a great video! Awesome haul you got there mate. I’m only just getting into panning and only found rocks so far haha. I’m located in Corowa and have hit up reedy creek a couple of times. Would love to get some local knowledge from you!

[@gavinhogg6552]

Well done Chris..... Gold is great but overcoming your fears is priceless, so proud you are achieving your goals 👍🤓✌️

[@jeremycockrell4255]

You should be so proud of yourself on so many different levels Chris. I've watched your show for years now and look forward to so many more. Thanks for your content.

[@goldpinprospecting9170]

Hell yeah Chris! Awesome patch you got there. Just think how much more could be around. Keep at it 😍

[@joshuajackson6442]

So very proud of you Chris, getting out of bed, getting ready, driving out into the bush and loving yourself enough to be alone with your own thoughts and prevail against the PTSD!!!

[@timmynorfolk7817]

I’m proud of you too buddy and thank you for your service

[@roykrossin8343]

So Proud of you for getting out on you're own. Something I still struggle with. Mad Respect Chris

[@petecabrina]

That gold fever dance at 7:10 is pretty classic, right out of the 19th century gold rush, you just need to be slapping your knees as well 😄

[@leighanncronin6905]

Makes my heart happy to see you so stinkin happy! 🥰 What an awesome day this was for you...Holy BLEEP! Congratulations❣️

[@bigains]

You deserve it mate. Thanks for taking us with you. It was great to see your joyful reactions to finding gold. Eureka!

[@geraldbizot5770]

Good on you Chris. Small steps equals big rewards. The fact you went solo speaks volumes. Very inspirational

[@johnayscue8935]

I'm proud of you too Chris. Way to battle! Your excitement in this video was contagious. You had me smiling the whole time. I look forward to seeing the other videos. Take care and God bless you my friend.

[@carlwalton8910]

Great job, both for getting out by yourself and the great finds you got.

[@mattbyrne1822]

Chris your one liners are hilarious! You're the best hands down, keep up the great work 👍

[@brockreibel672]

You really do deserve every nugget and picker you find Chris! Keep up the awesome work and awesome attitude!! It’s what keeps us coming back

[@tammybrazeau1213]

I know this is a year later, but to say how proud I am for anyone to look their 😈 in the face, is a hero in my mind. You did so good that day, plus the gold you got!

[@MB-bt9km]

Congratulations Chris! So excited to see this haul, and know that you felt that success for getting out there alone and winning back some independence. You're a real inspiration mate. :)

[@poorfellamycountry]

It was a privilege to share this experience with you alone, as a one man and a dog team myself I can appreciate how major a step this was for you given the hurdles you've faced. A nice reward too!

[@enjoylifenh]

Awesome time Chris! Thanks for taking us along on the huge personal triumphs and great gold finds... your an awesome guy! Thank you again for sharing!

Well Chris that was quite a memorable day! I bet that you slept well that night and woke up chafing at the bit to get to filming the crush and reveal! To watch you swing that detector and literally bounce from one nuggy to the next, was something amazing to see and the way that your excitement kept on growing and growing had plenty of us glued to our screens! Too much excitement! Mark from Melbourne

[@derrickdutka3691]

Right on man, that was fun to watch. I always enjoy your videos, but this one was great seeing you so animated and happy. Keep up the great videos. 🙂

[@FeathPymArt]

Chris, I am so chuffed for you! Going out by yourself was a heck of an achievement. And a sweet addition is you will forever associate going out by yourself and finding that much gold. It will help for the next time and the next. those chunks are next level! Well done, mate.

[@paulabraden974]

You didn't just break your record..you smashed it! I don't think I stopped beaming too...well except for when the video ended. Your find is well deserved and definitely well earned. Big congrats 👏

[@cliffyoung5712]

Good on ya Chris. at 67 and having an autoimmune disorder thats been eating my joints apart for 40 years I cant get out anymore. I used to be 5 miles up the creek before the sun came over the hills. Keep up the struggle against the PTSD, been dealing with it as long as I can remember, meds help but they cant come close to the feeling of forcing yourself to go do something you desperately want to do but cant make yourself do for months on end. Being trapped in your own head is the hardest thing anyone has to deal with.

[@Coyvic-timbo]

Proud of you Chris for sucking it up and going at it on your own with no other assistance. Also be proud of your self, for sharing the ptsd related to overcome your emotions. YOUR A NUGET YOUR SELF BRO. 💖ya mate

[@kevingriffith4036]

Congratulations on your solo trip that was more exciting than your gold finds and that was absolutely phenomenal.

[@Brainmalfuction]

Well done Chris, it seems that gold makes you happy, happyness is healthyness i believe in.

[@goldbunny1973]

I'm at home in Glasgow trying to get both ankles recovered from identical injuries; Every time I watch one of your videos I see this hugely changed and SO BRAVE man hauling himself out into the sticks. The first gold I find, I'm sending the first sighted bit of it to you no matter if it's massive or microscopic because that's a Great Tip; "Walk until you're tired then start prospecting"

[@triggermancustoms1670]

[@lisaharley7867]

Congratulations Chris, On your prospecting conquests and your personal conquests, your an inspiration to all of us.Been watching you for a few years now and I Love your videos, always highly informative and the humour ,well.omg there's times I laugh so hard I'm like geeze somebody kill me 🤣 and I always give my little buddy a scratch behind the ear for you. Keep it up.

[@twodudesonedredge]

Another great video man. We really appreciate the effort you continue to put in to your videos and the important issues you raise awareness for.

[@tiarealbering9630]

I'm proud of you too brother. I really enjoy your videos. Informative but exciting as well. I just started last spring and doing great for a newby. I got to mine southern Oregon last summer and bought home about 5 penny weight and pounds of other rocks like Jasper and serpentine! Again, your videos are very relaxing but inspirational. I always wanted to go to your great continent.

[@etarheel1]

One, I’m proud of you. Second, wow what a day! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@bryonmason6330]

Congratulations Big Guy! Outstanding!

[@dexterplant778]

Congratulations on being able to get out there alone this time around, I personally know how hard that can be sometimes, were watching from all over the world and we got your back, keep going from the great northwest.

[@michiganprospectors]

Walk until you are tired... I use that same idea for just about everything including rock hounding, hunting, prospecting and sometimes even fishing. Laughing out loud here. At the copper mines this is how I was acting while finding silver and copper ore specimens. Going out with no companion, not even a dog, that far out is a challenge for anyone I think. Quite an accomplishment. Wow!! Awesome pay for a day of work. Way better than working at a normal job and so healthy to get out in the beautiful country. The scenery behind you was awesome. Healing for the body and mind.

[@garybarchas4984]

I've been waiting for you to finally hit a " Hotspot " and to watch you light up! I feel like I just hit it rich myself! Keep it up mate!

[@robmckrill3134]

Proud of you brother...small steps, as well as you know..one has to learn how to crawl , before learning to run. Here is a scratch for you..cheers Rob

[@kasiataylor743]

Cheers to you Chris for conquering demons! That is one of the hardest things we can do! Kudos to you! Keep it up. We are all behind you and support you!

[@hehawbuggeraw8203]

Congratulations on all your success chris your feel good feeling is spreading bud thankyou

[@aardvarklet]

That is insane man. Seeing your little prospector dance was wholesome

[@gaylemitchell5872]

Congratulations Chris. With all the work you out into detecting, you deserve this. 👏

[@tanyafriesen1549]

Congratulations 👏👍 I am always so thrilled for you, and your reward for amount of "crap" u pushed thru to go out by yourself is on the scale and inside u!!

[@benjy-adams]

Congrats on the Nuggets...the awesome video and getting out on your own as well...win, win, win....

[@moonstarer55]

Well done Chris, that was a very productive expedition mate. That detector is very sensitive indeed. Excellent

[@martinstallard6173]

When i see Chris smiling so much and jumping around I know I am in for a good good you tube session.. that was amazing.. best part is you getting out there on your own. That is the best achievement.. :)

[@brentpilgrim4692]

Fantastic !!!!!!! 🎉🎊 Proud of you for pushing yourself to get your butt out into the bush and am so very glad that your effort was rewarded in your mental well-being 😀 Love that specimen that you kept as a reminder.

[@austdom]

Chris I watched the first video telling us you were uploading this one. My pan name is A Grumpy Old Prospector, but mate I am so, so glad for you. You have shown us allwhat real determination can do for a person. Again well done mate.

[@davidhandyman7571]

Blessings Chris. A big step for you.

[@greghoward6305]

Well done Chris. Keep up the great work.

[@emilyjayne77]

Wow chris!!!! Amazing gold there. Well done you. 🤩

[@derekhughes9274]

Well deserved Chris,really enjoyed watching this one. A crowning achievement.

[@cjwebster1893]

aww Chris what a delight to watch dude! I love your brave honesty and that mother earth rewarded your bravery so abundantly! I too have found my joy in going prospecting here in NZ with my dog for company but not other humans and I'm happy out there! Hunger and darkness drive me home but little else. I hardly find anything though in the areas I'm allowed here. Do you know anything about getting permission from claim owners to prospect in their areas? (I know I'm in nZ and you in Oz but still :-) thx and well done.

[@rylandmacneil4581]

Your videos helped me to get out in the bush and prospect but more it’s helped my mental health more then anything keep up the grate work and awesome videos Chris
