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...

Well, a lot of people are not hitting the like button… sooooo, better chances for the rest of us. I guess. Smash that like button and leave a comment.

[@JesseJames-rq4ee]

Would leave luck to leave a message in common but in presenting driving throughout western Montana back hills it 15 mins to type this and then send it

[@JesseJames-rq4ee]

My personal opinion yes that would be a spot I would take my buckets back and gather up all the tailings

[@JesseJames-rq4ee]

I just want to clarify for all those safety conscious mind persons out there I'm not the one typing this my wife is I'm driving Track trailer Or a semi truck hour if you want to call it

[@stephaniebristow8937]

Your humor always makes me laugh! The relationship you and Gadzy share is tons of fun to get to see! Thanks for yet another bright spot in my day!

[@mikeblair2594]

I didn't think Fern would be such a cruel branch manager. Wipping poor Gadzie because he wasn't working as hard as she thought he should work. On the other hand, she looked really cute doing it. Smiling Boxers are the best Boxers.

[@kaylinwaite8149]

Hello there friend :) just got to say thank you from British Columbia Canada living in the Kamloops area and after watching your videos I finally got out of the house been battling depression and anxiety most of my life and you have been a huge inspiration on getting back out and doing the things I forgot I love doing :) climbed a mountain to take some samples and spent most of my summer down at the river and creeks thank you my friend for being you!!! And give a big belly rub for the pups haha :)

[@RICDirector]

Yay! That is a huge step, well done. And having fun being out is such a bonus...!

[@CaliforniaCam]

It’s nice to see you pull gold out of the ground to entertain us and teach us, I appreciate that. Thx Chris

[@brianbaughman9486]

Very good video What I like most is how you explain everything about what your doing and why, and when it doesn’t come up as planed, you admit it and post it anyway.

[@user-friendlyhuman]

Whoever invented the bucket handle tube section that we grip and that allows the metal to rotate unimpeded by our skin's friction-causing properties made a fabulous contribution to humankind.

[@orixxboy]

I love the fact that you're turning you're hand to melting and pouring your own gold I can't wait for the day that you have enough little buttons to melt enough to cast a little bar and fill that mold. Much love and respect 🙏 from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@paulthebaker]

I really appreciate how excited you get each and every time you find gold!

[@timothystevens4657]

Chris, this video format is absolutely fantastic! One week of adventures across different gold fields and different geological areas. I wish that I could go prospecting as much as you do, although I still feel lucky enough to be able to go once a month or so. You must be exhausted! Thanks again!

[@tbounds4812]

"your going to fail finding gold heaps" thanks for the advice gives me some confidence to just try some random rivers even though ive got no idea if there will be gold or not

[@douglasnelson8276]

When there's fog you're literally walking through a cloud.

[@kevinwelsh8060]

It's videos like this that make me wish I didn't live in a gold free state. I have to find gold vicariously through you Chris. Keep up the great videos.

[@NoRealPotential]

What state?

[@kevinwelsh8060]

Ohio

[@TreeManBen]

Gold paydirt bags can be SUPER easy fun if you don't live in a gold zone. Look for ones that offer a guaranteed minimum amount of gold. Chris, Pauly, Dan Hurd, Klesh all have great value added paydirt with guaranteed ROI. I once bought several bags and got a BONUS BAG with over a gram inside a guaranteed 0.5gram bag! Do fun to reveal some shiny bits for no work!

[@IndustrialVampire]

I live in Ohio as well. There is lots of fine "fly poop" gold all over the mid and western side of the state (the glacial till side). Even some small pickers. With a dredge you can pull 1 gram days easily.

[@onemetallifan5824]

Love this long format! You are a prospecting legend. I appreciate all the education that you share with us newbies!

[@MadMarlin1964]

Another excellent episode! Fern beating Gadzee with a new cam stick, and the mutant spider from Mercury. Oh, and good gold too.

[@dawsondiggingholes2729]

Ha! I love how Fern licked the Vegemite from behind Gadzee's ear.....beware the Drop Bear!

[@gadzee506]

Hahaha that's why she does it

[@My_Demons_Within]

Been watching you for a few years now. Always great content, tips and tricks! Looking forward to seeing you and Fern on all of your upcoming videos. Good luck and great fortunes await you!

[@Uber_Steve_Confessions]

Great video as usual Chris. You are inspiring me to go out and find the gold!

[@markfryer9880]

I reckon that the reason Gadzee is because of Ferns Blessings and supervision! Mark from Melbourne Australia

[@MsCarissa007]

Yet again another very interesting episode. Well done Chris, Fern….and Gazee….yazee…😊Gadzee

[@bradleywinter8544]

I've been panning for 3 years now and I rarely get anything but I recently found a spot where I pulled out of 100 pieces in 1 pan and 9 of pieces over .10 it was so exhilarating and helped me remember why I love prospecting so much!

[@autotek7930]

Man I only wish I could come out there where you guys are And be able to prospect with you I'm getting to go here in the desert but it's totally different than what I see you guys doingAnd I just wanted to say I watch every single video you put out

[@elainenunes7955]

I live in Florida, U.S.A. as far as I know we don't have gold here, but I truly enjoy your prospecting journeys. Both you and your friend are so intelligent and have such fun together it makes dull rainy days much better. Thank you and I have subscribed and liked each video.

[@robshannon6637]

Dude, I think you'd be an amazing prospecting buddy to be around with because I love your humour. Not only I respect your knowledge, but the willingness to share it with others. Good on you mate and keep it up!

[@alimclean686]

I loved seeing you compare prospecting in different areas. I appreciate you pointing out the signs to look for on the creek.

[@diggah]

Your convo on where sky comes from is pure gold itself!😂

[@prospectord8437]

So epic Chris! Love seeing you and gadzees shenanigans ❤️

[@blech71]

Every video not just with gold…. The real gold is all the great actionable knowledge that come from each. Thanks for another great vid my dood!

[@ashtonsmith8680]

First thing I did coming back from bush detecting in WA when I had reception was put on this vid

[@chriskentwell7075]

You are helping to keep my gold fever alive dude i have been without a car for about a month now and not being able to get out is killing me hahaha. Keep them coming

[@silentstormseeker69]

i enjoy watching you on youtube i work all the time and never take a vacation ...watching you is like travel to me ...thank you.

[@rickgraham9737]

Love the multi trip video format. Always fun to watch your dog get bossy as well.

[@terrybrady1644]

😂 the sky starts directly over my head 😅

[@hasmeadali7316]

Gold Fever is real good. Thanks sunshine for the adventures just awesome. Love the ninja stick

[@phbrand8548]

Myself and 3 young sons drove 5hrs to go panning near Sofala for the 1st time, got a few small flakes. Setting up camp and the local police advise that 120mm of rain expected and we need to move or get washed away, bugger there goes our weeks prospecting. Love your vlogs

[@markfryer9880]

120mm of rain would definitely ruin your weekend if you got caught in it, so be thankful that the Police warned you in advance!

[@unimog9388]

Fern says send that nuggie this way! Smart pupper you should probably take her advice :)

[@kathygoodwin]

People that ask where to find gold just need to keep watching your videos, as you give lots of signs to look for. Enjoying this format too. Thanks!

[@DarrenShinn]

It was fun watching the travels of the week. And end it with fire...Nice

[@wijjit]

24:50 Stones flying, being grinded. So waiting for that, shiny, clean, large and flat pane of glass to break. I am also glad it didn't :)

[@koslund11]

As you turn to summer, I'm dreading winter. They say four feet of snow and cold this winter. Thanks for sharing.

[@enonemellowspring9647]

For real this channel has been such a great way to relax.

[@joshsmith9558]

I hate to see winter come because it means putting my harley away, but I love to see winter here because it means summer for you and that means more videos from vogus.

[@davidhandyman7571]

Fern was licking off the vegemite from Gadzee's ear @ 14:05 , not a good idea with those drop bears around.

[@raymann4027]

We always get a laugh watching your vids and I learn a lot watching how you look for and process the gold

[@king_kiff3969]

wow that spider!

[@bjvoorhies]

Forgetting things? Make a check-list and copy up 15 or so. Use it every trip - load up the items you might otherwise forget and then chuck that copy. Find something not on your list that you find you need on a particular trip? Add it and chuck the defective lists and make new copies. I am NOT trying to be an all-knowing horse's ass or sarcastic. This is an overlooked little hack that REALLY DOES WORK and has saved me several times from frustration in the middle of a spur-of-the-moment trip.

[@VoGusProspecting]

I didn't say forget. I said I don't bring them. Weight is highly important for me, I bring the bare basics, nothing more. Otherwise lists are my go to thing!

[@clayp5129]

Fern is such a task master, making sure the work continues

[@MrMan-rg2xg]

Beautiful gold and country side, love the bits of history.

[@topendgold9284]

Ya gotta love finding a new spot on google maps and other apps, getting where you planned, and it pays! Most rewarding thing ever!

[@TheBizzerk2001]

Chris I liked the virtual pull toy with Fern at the end there 🤣🤣😂😂

[@Bamagold]

Been watching your vids for 4 years ,this was one of the best.

[@ihateskateboarding7277]

18:56, Chris finally got his picker terminology right

[@VoGusProspecting]

Its dependent on the ground 😏

[@berniezee147]

40 minute hike with gear - that's dedication. Watch out for those crusher sands. Cyanide was also used and hangs around (green sand)

[@RICDirector]

Chris, loved this video. Enjoy seeing more of Mick and Gadzee lately, too! I hope you have as much fun shooting and editing as we do watcjing!

[@thomasmills6695]

Still can’t express how much I’ve learnt from your channel. Trying prospecting as a small hobby with no luck. Watched your where to find gold video and struck it on my next outing. Keep it up!

[@chrispersclassics]

From one crazy Chris to another, keep on keepin’ on, man. Your content is great and your attitude is infectious. I salute you, sir!

[@stivers56]

I have been enjoying your videos for several years now. It's fun watching you find a hundred times more than I find here in the central part of the U.S.

[@mikewinings4120]

Like you do,I love going back to old prospects seen things I haven't seen before!

[@hxcfines]

love your videos brother and my son likes to watch them with me before he goes to bed lol keep up the great work

[@kathleentucker1238]

Chris I watch & love your prospecting videos! You're the Goat of Australian gold prospecting! I get just as excited as you whenever you are on the pay streak! Also I learn so much about the geology where you are. Thank you always for great info & entertainment!❤️😎💛

[@stevebevan3669]

I'm in the UK and have watched your channel for about a year, it led me to get a pan even though I know there is no gold near, just so I can practice.

[@terry8728]

Gentle aggressive persuasion! 😂 Great video! 👍

[@bono1961]

The more of your videos I watch the bigger my smile gets. Well done 👍 I'm a fan 🤘

[@billcox8682]

I Luv this show...wish I was there...I live in British Columbia, Canada & there's lots here too but some yrs. back I ended up in a wheelchair & can't get out in the field anymore...keep on "Diggin"& Shinin'👍✌️

[@peezdoc]

Gentle aggression persuasion!!!!! Great line!! Great gold!!

[@rumpig845]

Love wandering around and finding gold where it's unexpected ✨️

[@spookydonkey2195]

If only all supervisors were that adorable.

[@leibmenter2331]

Love these longer form videos Chris! Keep at it!

[@spikejohnson4477]

Loving the new format of the videos, keep up the great content Chris!

[@MrAemaeth]

Please don't stop shooting your shit, I already had the gold fever but it was your videos that got me itching and once I had the opportunity I got myself a detector n pan (only a few months back) and now I try n go out almost every weekend and I haven't been happier. I hope you inspire more people each day to get out and about. Another Assie from Vic

[@jenniferparker2077]

I've been watching ur videos for years. And recently purchased my first gold pan and pay dirt. I live in West Tennessee USA so not much gold here lol thank u for all u do and entertaining and teaching all of us. Plus I love ur accent.. lol 😆

[@insidebendprospecting]

I'm lovin these longer videos that show how you prospect over a few days. Sand dam is an awesome find too! Fingers crossed for an Aussie nugget!

[@danblott5353]

Really enjoying these longer form videos! Great work Chris

[@tylerjedi]

[@bobbaxter8472]

As usual, great content. Love watching your adventures. Always something new to learn. Keep on prospecting!

[@russellcarroll2453]

Bro, these videos truly are the biggest source of my daily entertainment. I've been binging your videos for weeks.

[@Englishprospector]

Fantastic video mate really loved this one

[@steven_ewen]

Great video Chris. Thank you for sharing your adventures

[@davideggleton5566]

The reason the spider survived, is because the flame starts outside of the hole, where the gas and oxygen have mixed. The hottest part of the flame is even further out, where the gases are fully combined and burning -- plus the heat is being continually pushed away from the nozzle (towards the end of the flame) by the continuous stream of fresh gas. At least that's my theory :D

[@stephenlisko8907]

Your new format is fantastic!

[@nsa_surveillance_orb-42b]

Love the show, always entertaining and informative.

[@DRIFTMOTIVE]

thanks for the videos man keep it up your spirit is just the best content to share cheers mate!
