CHUNKY Gold is Found on This Creek!
CHUNKY Gold is Found on This Creek!
During the gold rush of the 1800s the sluice boxes and gold wash plants did not have the abilities to break apart clays. This means a lot of the bigger chunks of gold, that are dense enough to sink deep into the clays, are able to be found in creeks and rivers today where the old tailings piles are eroding.
On this trip i look for gold on Nugget creek using my gold pan and sluice box and walk away with hundreds of dollars of gold and little pickers!

Your front tooth is now made out of gold, but it must have a symbol on it. You must choose either: - pepper pig. - bluey.

Loved those chunkies in your pans, Chris. If I had enough of them I'd deck my smile out with such delights and, of course, there'd be a turquise and onynx Bluey! Loved the ADHD Montage! Been looking at some geological maps of NE Victoria and trying to work out how the original folding and uplifting from the west, plus the galcial effects you often mention, those that deposit moraine in and around the river systems and am wondering if you'd like to comment a bit more on these in relation to gold deposits you encounter evidence of, in your videos as you look for further gold.
Good point about the specimens im going to start keeping a better eye on my heavys. 👍🏴⚒️

When u mentioned crushing EVERYTHING in the sluice I thought that was a GREAT idea. Imagine all the concentrates through the eons that didn’t have visible gold and people just discarded them! To this day there are piles of non visible gold across the world where placer mining has taken place.

I admire Gadsy's commitment to the scientific process; maintaining a healthy scepticism until a hypothesis has been tested. "I think there are some sticks there as well." *tests sticks* Premium stickage identified. This is why you two do so well at this gold prospecting malarkey.
The 100 bucket challenge is going great! I also think that take is way more than respectful! 😮. Good job, dude. A grouse spot, I just wish my creek was a little less boulders and more manageable rocks like nugget creek. 😢 Cheers big ears
Another productive day at the creek! Love your work fellas.
Great video, as always Chris. I was wondering if you are going to be doing any hard rock prospecting?. Love your channel, keep your passion, and above all, do what you enjoy.

Great day on the creek with CHUNKIES.
I keep noticing the Bunnings logo on the buckets and it make me associate their name with good times. I feel i need to go buy some stuff there! They sould sponsor this channel or something.
There is nothing more fun than having your friend looking for the shiny and I think maybe you find more shiny when your friend or just maybe you find Les because you are having fun with your friend sitting back having a few beers hey you probably don't show on video but you know what I have fun with my friend and I drink a lot of beer and I still find it shiny so you two enjoy yourself that's what it is all about enjoy having fun drinking beer maybe start up a barbecue sometime while you're doing it fry up some chicken
Can’t wait to see the new range of “We like chunky bits!” merchandise… 😆
Well done mate keep up the challenge. I thought you had the water perfect on the 1080 sluice
Heck ya them chunky monkeys added up to a big ol heap of bananas (you said to measure it in food so….) great episode thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. the bigger gold is farther downstream on an outside bend it takes a while for the clay to break down in flood waters and it’s moving fast so go downstream a ways find a good outside bend and get those bigger pickers.😬 (trust me but don’t tell anyone the secret eh)
Aww man cant wait to buy a couple of your pans aye
Thanks Chris!
