Why Did I Ever Abandon This Gold Mine!?

How many of you have said qweef instead of quiff 😅?

I was like did he says queef? Then you said it again and I was like must be a Australian thing lol😂😂😂

Chris and Gadzee playing in lovely, characterful gravels, gold, gems, lumpy bits... and reducing the burden of exotic vegetation, win, win, community win. Win³! With appreciation, Gabi of Narre Warren.

Love watching you lads hanging out together doing what you love. 🇦🇺😎

[@JohannSauer81]

Insomnia keeping you up at night? No worries! The boys are back on the creek! Who needs sleep if you could have vicarious gold fever?!

[@susanturcotte3176]

I'm so amazed, Chris! Those species, coarse pieces, and the amounts of gold were shocking to say the least! 🧐😱 Furthermore, over 2.5gm weight?!?! Unbelievable! So happy for you my friend! This little creek looks like it holds much more, so I think you'll be making more trips there. I certainly would! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@VoGusProspecting]

It's paid out great

[@marksheldon7154]

Chris, The gold Professor. Thanks for todays lesson...

[@DalJohnson606]

How dare KZbin for unsubbing ppl. On another channel, I watch, he's having problems with the same. But I would definitely know if KZbin did that to me, you n Gadzee are my favorite channel of all my subscriptions. Oh and MrBallen. Can't ever forget about him. Y'all have a great week and be safe. Cheers ✌️

Hey Chris and Gadzee, your new spot has niece chunky gold!! Keep finding that AU!😀👌👍👍👍✌

[@steven_ewen]

Ironstone specimens are awesome. What a fantastic spot to play in. 2.5 grams! Wow. Thanks for sharing your adventures Chris. Cheers

[@garrettmillsap]

Thank you kind sir for this entertaining and educational cinematic experience! Lol right on Chris and Gadzee

[@Highplainsprospectors]

You guys are fun to watch. Finding gold is just a bonus!

[@Gentleman-Prospector]

Great day out! That’s a noice nugget indeed. 👍😎🎩⚒️G.P.

[@VoGusProspecting]

Thanks 👍

[@gabivalla6279]

Adding you can test the weight of the gold in the beautiful ironstone gold specimen with what The Gold Rush Guy showed on a recent upload, place water in a clear plastic tub and tare off that amount, tie the specimen on a length of cotton string, suspend in the water, and, using a calculation table for specific gravity, you'll be able to get a good approximation for the weight of the gold. Whether other chunks of ironstone may also contain gold I'll guess you've tested for that before and found them unproductive? Cheers to you and Gadzee, and the mateship you encourage among the viewership, whilst battling bots and butts. Cheers again from Gabi of Narre Warren, and avagoodweekend!

[@gyvren]

Great job again, Chris! Loving seeing you so happy. Cheers! 🙂👍

Cheers for the vid Chris, some very nice bits there. Got permission from the boss to go have a dig on Sunday, can't wait :)

Excellent Carl. Love that first big Jewfish run. Certainly gets the blood pumping. Another great video. 🍻🎣🎣🎣

Great to see both of your channels growing guys👍👍👍 Not like some Shovel Dogger that's vanished😂😂😂

[@ryanadams3858]

I’ve only been watching Chris and Gadzee for a bit, and heard the term shovel dogger a couple of times, but still don’t really know what it means, could you please tell me what one is?

[@NovoGold]

@ryanadams3858 where you have a spot you are working, and someone else has knowledge of or knows the location and they go and smash the area when you are not there. Kind of like a claim jumper, without being a claim. Just common courtesy and respect amongst fellow prospectors that's all.

[@ryanadams3858]

Ok , thanks for the comment back cheers mate 👍

[@stevenpackman4570]

Great video as always!, beautiful gold and great entertainment, that Elvis specimen be worth a fortune 😂

[@Uncle-Digger-Prospecting]

Man I hope I win the prize! Glad I'm a patron. I cant wait to start finding some reef gold like that up north here

[@ayejay8360]

Holy moly thank you Chris!! I was wondering why I got so many amazing goodies with my order! When I saw the paydirt, nugget and the crystal I had to compare them to the vid. Sure enough that was them. Thank you again. I love The Old Mouldy website can’t wait to get more of your hoodies

Well done Chris. Not bad for a casual day on the pan. Image what could have happened if it was a formal day on the pan 😁👍

Been waiting to see you go back there! Nice work man. In our area in Oregon, gold law states if it doesn't fit up the snuffer, its a picka!

[@russpurrington1217]

Just what I was looking for!

[@Heapsgoodprospecting]

love this!, means im gonna see a new gadzee video too at some point! 2 for 1!

[@weedfreer]

An Elvis quartz with a ‘queef’? Yeah nah, that’s not the thing you think it is Chris my man. Quiff is the word you’re searching for! 😂

[@gabivalla6279]

I love me some good neologistics, new words are sometimes needed. I think preemptively ahead of the word not said right might be quoife? A fattish quiff of forelock? How'd I go? Very 90's raver look with baseball cap right way.

[@weedfreer]

@@gabivalla6279 like your cap, worn forwards, at early 90s Raves, it would appear that a quoife (which, interestingly, appears to have an alternative spelling of Coif) is a closely fitting hat. Only this hat was worn under a veil in the Middle Ages by many women but now only by nuns. I believe the word you may have been reaching for is the alternative spelling for quiff which, reading the definition now, may actually be the original spelling possibly pre Americanisation, or, whereas quiff refers exclusively to the male hair flick, may be the word from which quiff developed so that folk would understand that you were on about the male variant. Coif, short for coiffure, used in an American sense typically referred to as woman’s fancy hairdo arranged into complicated braids anchored by bobby pins. Something similar to what you’d likely see being paraded around Royal Ascot Racecourse these days.

[@spikejohnson4477]

Glad someone else picked that up! Couldn't stop laughing for 5 mins thinking about an Elvis Queef - he did get pretty sweaty in his later years...🤣🤣🤣

[@travislangolf7800]

I watch regularly from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA. I find your content particularly good because the geology here is VERY similar here.

[@etarheel1]

❤❤Chris my friend I love your channel and have been subscribed for a long time. You have made me laugh, learn and cry. I Deeply appreciate all you have taught me about gold and about your country which I doubt I will ever get to see with my own eyes being on the other side of the world. I got to keep it real with you though, joking or not, the two statements you made about selling and hail s! I just can’t let that go man, I know in my heart you are a great soul, a gentle soul and I’ve done and said things I regret and am not judging as there is only one judge. That’s not my job, but please consider some of us guys old enough to have grand kids are hard pressed to find things to watch together that are relatively safe with our children and grand children . Your beliefs are your own and none of my business. I can only share how much Jesus has done for me in my life. My own fight with anxiety and depression with a side of drug and drinking addiction. As I get older and think that my time is growing less my focus is more on the next generations and how my actions, words or lack of impacts those that live beyond my lifetime. It is with love in my heart that I beg of you to reconsider. This breaks my heart and frankly makes me that more infuriated at the evil one for influencing such a beautiful soul that I know you are. I’ve watched too long not to know who you are inside. You too are a child of God and he loves you as do all of us your appreciative subscribers. Your natural gifts shine thru each video and you do it even when you are not feeling good. I see you brother and just wanted to send you some love from me and 4 year old Liam who is learning to pan with paw paw thanks in large part to learning from you. With great power comes great responsibility I heard a smart guy say one time in a movie. I look forward to watching future videos as does my best buddy in the world Liam. Big hug from North Carolina USA. Very important for me to say, I will always love the person, just not always their actions or words. The world needs more love and open communication for us to grow and this is my attempt! ❤❤❤❤😢

[@andypandyAU.6669]

A great time on the creek, with a very good deposit. Well done boys. Chunky bits, fine gold and species. Awesome. I too have noticed that a number of subs dissappear , join 1 day gone the next. Either uts KZbin or I am too boring!?!? Keep punching ❤ it😊

A Tasmanian prospector that works in bigger creeks than you and uses a wetsuit and snorkel has shown how the tilted bed rock that erodes in ridges like a ripple board as you stated today does indeed trap gold and quite big bits.
