    Hey team love the videos, I live in golden bay top of the South Island there’s been some good gold found around district over the years! Watching your guys videos has inspired me to get out and fossick around some of the creeks for fun

    nice sluice! Very cool to see how a fairly small amount of material gives such a good result! Be safe!!

    They found small amounts of gold in the mohaka river, even dug a small mine there, was a copper mine close by to it as well I think.

    I would recommend a small-medium sluice box to start, and honestly it depends on your ground to which type is going to be best

    Most probably can how ever you'd need to buy your own claim, there isn't any public prospecting spots in the north island

    For beach prospecting yes or to have permission to someone else’s permit, New Zealand as a whole no not necessarily as there are 20 public gold areas you can go to without permit.

    Hi guys, thanks heaps! My advice is watch some of the newer Sluicers videos on Slab Hutt creek, then get some pans and head over there for a weekend or a day and give it a go, you will see the type of spot you need to check out to find gold there on the videos, see if you like it and then from there invest in a sluice and start trying the other areas. Paydirt can be a good way to start to learn to pan and see what gold looks like if you don’t yet know. Best of luck, Cheers- The Sluicers

    The size of the gold particles depicted on the home screen here is false. Click bait! Beach gold is that fine that sometimes it can actually "float"on top of water! 😮

    @@outthere9370 This is a picture of the exact gold found in this video, it’s not false clickbait. All gold if thin enough can actually float on top of water, flakes more so than beach gold due to the surface tension caused by their larger surface area, I’ve had a 0.05 gram picker float just because it was so flat. The reason for the more flakey chunkier gold here is gold that has been washed straight into this bay by the surrounding gold bearing creeks then deposited accordingly, as you can see in this video we are actually mining around the mouth of a river that is bringing down fresh flakey chunkier gold, there is a mixture of fine beach gold that has travelled further and coming in from sea, and slighter chunkier stuff coming out of the creeks and helping to get redeposited by the sea. Cheers

    We do share where we prospect and have dozens of videos dedicated to helping begginers find gold, almost all of the public fossicking areas in New Zealand where begginers could go are covered extensively. Even our best most private sites we share on Patreon as well, however you can’t expect us to share the location of other peoples private permits. Go to the channel and click the videos section and scroll through and you will find some good locations 🤙🤙
