Digging up a Pay Streak of Gold Nuggets like No other!!!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My last prospecting adventure scored me around $1000 dollars of Tasmanian gold. We also carried in tools including a dolly pot to try and determine the source of the gold being found in the river.
Exploring the surrounding hills and crushing some of the ore in the area to try and locate the golds source. My plan this time was to return to the river again and test some of the bedrock from the riverbed itself, but with wild weather and the dead of winter set in here in Tasmania this testing will have to wait. In todays video we jump back in time to when the river was yielding good amounts of alluvial gold nuggets and my goal will be to collect as much as I possibly can with the two days I have to spend.

You are surrounded by fallen trees but the government say your fire has to be made of wood from Bunnings. What kind of joke world do we live in nowadays.

Yeah but those fallen trees are a whole ecosystem that help to support the whole forest. They decompose and give us fungi friends too.

After going dredging for the first time last week, I have a whole new level of appreciation the hard work you do, Levi. That time in the water, cold water, and moving all those cobbles by hand can really wear you out. Not to mention the long treks through dense forest and steep terrain carrying your camp and firewood, too (just unbelievable).

It takes a certain type of crazy 🤪 😉
It’s a good day when Levi posts a video
The snuffer and yabby pump is as close to dredging we'll ever get. Great episode enjoyed that. Cheers.
Productive trip. Thanks for taking me along
Good morning Levi. Thanks for taking us along with you!
I get gold fever more and more each time I watch your videos 😆. And I already have the fever 🤣. Absolutely amazing Levi. There is no place I would rather be than under the water sniping.

The US economy is a powerhouse with a diverse range of sectors. The stock market and the dollar have traditionally been safe havens due to their long-term growth and stability. However, potential downturns are part of the economic cycle, and laws are in place to manage defaults and asset seizures. Inflation can be a concern, but remember, certain assets like stocks and Crypto’s acts as a hedge. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Kerrie Farrell, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.....

It looks like a chicken drum stick and a boxing gloves 👌well done buddy
You are on a good patch again. That is a rich looking reef. Great to see...!
I think because I do this myself here in central NSW your videos make me feel so relaxed because thats how I feel when I’m out in the creek. I hang out for every video you make new or old so thanks a heap Levi. 👍🏽

Another excellent video Levi as always. I find it totally ridiculous that you have to carry in firewood as obviously there isn't effort lying around waiting for a bushfire. That department needs a 👢 up their arses for not letting you use the dead wood
Levi, the dedication you have in sniping is absolutely commendable! All the hard work you put in makes me tired for you and makes me want to take a nap just watching all the hard work you do in sniping for gold! Your videos are the best! Keep on sniping, and I'll catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
G'day Levi! Awesome Trek into the WILD TASSIE!!! Priceless Paystreak that your on again. Bowling Pin for sure... the seal looks like a old school bottle opener, but flipped over looks like a boxing glove. Congrats to the winners of the GAW, that is some Sweet Shiny. What's the world coming to when you can't even use the old, dead, dried up wood to start a fire in the Wild!!! Just RIDICULOUS.... No I'll call it like it is BULLSHIT!!!! AWESOME ADVENTURE LEVI, Keep at it... Your right about the source, keep scratching!!!!
Hey, Rob. Since you have to carry your wood in. Check out the design for a rocket stove. They use a small amount of wood and can radiate a lot of heat. I've seen them made out of food tins. As small as baked bean or as big as commercial size for pineapple.

Hiya Levi, awesome video mate your videos are getting better all the time. The music is great and the gold is fabulous mate, I wish I could send you some of the summer heat we're having to warm you up. I hope you have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Rob, you have to rip out some quarts rock inside the rivers and crush them to see what you can get out of them
Ah, those were the days! So much fun we had! Still living through you!❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy the "plink" sound they make going into the snuffer bottle.
I loved this video. Full of gold from start to finish. The walk their would be the hardest for me of this adventure. Way to go.
Great video Levi, love the journey as much as the gold collecting. That river scenery is wonderous.
The seal looking piece, looks like a boxing glove to me.

@@officialtassieboysprospecting You find some pretty cool pieces. I sniped alot when I was younger. Strangest shaped nugget I found looked just like a pile of dog poo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i always enjoy your videos. thank you for sharing them. I find the music takes me out of the experience of you looking for the gold tho, the ASMR nature of you scratching around with the sound of the water is actually one of the reasons i watch the videos. thanks again, your videos are appreciated.
The 'seal' from the front is a grabbing hand - a symbol for your grabbing the gold 😊
I love watching your videos, you are a true master at it! The one piece looks like a hand and the other looks like a bowling pin. Awesome. Thanks Ray
What you’re describing as ironstone encrusted gold is actually the sulphides that the gold was associated with when the quartz containing both solidified in the vein between the surrounding granite. What you often describe as “fine clay”that you scrape away with your hook tool, is also decayed sulphides. The sulphides and gold are contained within the molten quartz, and the molten granite lava flow. The Granite solidifies first, and that leaves the liquid quartz and sulphides & gold to solidify last as a “gold containing quartz vein”. Lots of non gold bearing quartz solidifies without the sulphides & gold and forms just a quartz vein. The brachiated (crumbling / decomposing) quartz vein underwater that your working with your hook tool, happens to be a gold & sulphide rich quartz seam / vein. If you were mining underground, that’s a paying quartz vein that you would be looking for to remove & crush to release the gold. There’s probably a lot of fine “flour gold” within all that decomposing quartz that your scraping out the way to find the pickers. That quartz seam is your source of the gold. The gold doesn’t get “trapped” in the decaying quartz as it’s being swept down the river from some other “mystery source” somewhere upstream. You’re actually on the source, you just don’t seem to realise it. Quartz veins like that can pinch out, as your following them, and re-appear further along, and the mining activity on the hillsides above where your working in the river, likely found the same quartz vein containing gold. Back then they wouldn’t have had wet suits and masks & snorkels to follow the vein underwater below the river. It’s a gold rich source. If there’s any way you can collect that quartz & crush it to powder & pan it out and test it for fine flour gold you might be surprised how much is there that your not seeing with sniping techniques. There’s a saying in fishing that applies equally to gold prospecting. “You don’t leave fish to go find fish” (because the fish activity will attract more fish to where you are if you keep fishing that spot). Same with Gold. You don’t leave gold to find more gold. You have located a source at a spot where historically a source was located previously and mined. You’re just getting what the old timers had no easy way to get back then. Now you need to figure a way to extract all that quartz so you can crush it fine & extract the flour gold contained within it. Keep up the good work. Winter does suck for river sniping. Now if you just knew a river in the sub-tropics that contains gold to snipe where the waters warmer while Tassie waters are high & freezing. I do know of such a spot, however there’s a slight risk because occasionally a crocodile takes up residence in the river as bigger males kick them out of their territory further north in the Kimberly’s. The crocs were shot out of this area back in the 1970’s but since they were protected they are slowly trying to spread south again to their old range. Are you game to have a go & take the risk? 😜😂😂

That’s all good till I tell you that quartz is petrified tree sap. Provably. 😂 Also he did crush some of that sap in the last vid and found some flakes but wasn’t set up to do much more. Let me know when u wanna argue abt tree sap and I’ll try to figure a way to give u some links that KZread makes it nearly impossible to share. Daggum censorship.
Fantastic footage! The "seal" looks like a boxing glove or lobster claw!
Excellent post as always Levi, thanks for sharing it was so much fun, and well done.
your videos are so fascinating lately because you get to see how that gold remains trapped in that quartz just waiting to finally be released from captivity all that time go back to the formation of it. Just love it.
Good one Levi, great results and much hard work in cold water. Thanks for sharing !
Watching from Philippines ❤❤❤
Is it just me that really enjoys the sound of the gold going down the snuffer tube? 😊😊
Pretty special way of life legend. No joy in putting that cold wetsuit on, though. Brrrrr. *The seal piece looks like a boxing glove to me.
I wish I was with you!!!!!!! Great for you, it must be fun and rewarding, to be in the great outdoors alone with your thoughts.
Love the videos. Respect so much the work. Just getting in and out is a major achievement. Thanks for bringing us along. Being from Tassie it is nostalgic for me.
Great video and adventure again Levi ,im liking the bit like a polar bear 🐻❄️ 🪙🥇
Calling the dinosaur/seal a shifter.
Thanks for another wonderful trip to the river. Much love from Tennessee❤
Man! The stuff of dreams. That quartz is heavily altered. Most definitely want to see what's in it. Great show!
I love it when you’re finding $100.00 a minute.
Absolutely awesome Levi ! Excellent job. You are the inspiration to my adventures 👍
Scandinavian style with campfires is alot of stones around the fire..for keeping the heat even if the fire burns down the stones are hot a long time happy to been born in a Scandinavian country where u have a total freedom to camp and roam around,,even on private land as long u show utter and most resect for the land and nature and leave the place better than u found it..
definitely a boxing glove! thx heaps. keep well
i used to work at a hard rock gold mine......at 23:13 you can see visible gold incased in the quartz vein!!! ....should sample it for sure!!!
Love how you show all the hard work it takes just to get down to the bedrock . Looks like a huge mud crab 🦀 claw… or crescent wrench… yes a bowling 🎳 pin.
Outstanding outing. Btw…observation. You’re getting the gold that’s on the surfaces of gold bearing rock. That rock (primarily quartz) contains gold also. Were that rock be on surface miners would be “hard-rock” mining it to get the gold contained within. I suggest taking a chisel & hammer underwater and fracturing the bedrock prospecting deep within the rock. Thanks.
Nice finds , "the seal" looks like a boxing glove to me 🥊
I think that "seal" piece looks like a crab claw. God trip Levi.
The one looking like a seal could also be a bottle opener!
Levi that 3-4oz in that small space should tell you that you ate close to the source. That gold didn’t travel far. I would concentrate to prospecting in the 100m square area and see if you can find more.
Another relaxing video, but hearing you say how cold it is, makes me happy I’m on this side of the video. It’s like 100 here today 🥵
Gravity dredge?May be a little difficult to carry a bunch of 6m pvc pipes down in there but I feel you don’t mind a challenge every now and then! Fantastic video mate!!👍👍
The highlight of my day is another fantastic video from the most awesome gold magnet...Tassie Boy Levi❤😊 I LOVE Sniping❣️
@ 42:25.....looks like a boxing glove, crab claw or a crescent wrench...lol.
Superb upload as usual. Thanks Levi. You've inspired me to start investing in gold. I've purchased 20 ounces since subscribing to your channel & it's doubled in value.
Awesomeness! I really enjoyed that trip. Thanks for sharing.😮
Awsome, that is nice nuggets, the old timers in America would say gold rides a iron horse or gold where's a iron hat, you are on to where it is just got to find what part of the vein it's in, the Cary your own wood ! Lol. Great video , great place for your office, beautiful place A hot mix of minerals ( in liquid form )and gold, silver, copper all come up in solution and fill the gaps and depends what kind of rock. I saw box quarts in one of your videos (quarts surrounded by mineralization looked real promising.
Another top notch adventure Levi, the seal nugget to me looks like a boxing glove, and the other one looks like a gold logie
Absolutely amazing Levi great work
I can’t even imagine the effort to produce such a classy video . Thank you
Love to see it mate, you push through a decent amount pain, saw that cut early on and the blisters on your palms at the end there, solid effort
Time travel sounds good.
I always enjoy your videos, tks Levi
The bowling pin looks like a chicken drum stick. I like the little space man in your hand.
absolutely love what you do Levi. nice work.
Thanks for the upload
Not a bad haul Levi better than a poke in the eye with a pointy stick.And lets face it any time spent in the bush is as good as gold .
A man is born with the desire to dig into crevices, but Levi takes it to a whole new level 😂😂❤❤
Always a pleasure you taking us on an adventure
@24:08 what a lovely sight to see 👌💯💚💛❤️
enjoy all ur vids levi, keep em comming mate.
Thank you Levi always enjoy your videos 😎✌️
The gold grains are all rounded so they have been transported downstream some distance and haven’t come out of the quartz vein you were working (that vein however can also contain gold). The ironstone they’re covered in is oxidised sulphide minerals (most likely pyrite) that originally accompanied the gold.
Hi from Queensland. Really enjoy watching your videos. 💯 times better than anything on tv. Wish you the very best in your endeavours.

Love your videos, watching from the Philippines. Continue what you’re doing.
The shattered quarts and chaotically folded squished-taffy look of the native rock suggests to me that you were working in a fault zone or shear zone. The black rock shows ductile deformation, but the quartz shows brittle deformation by shattering. The last fault movement period was likely post-quartz veins, but that doesn't mean the fault wasn't there before the veins. It's always good to have faults around when prospecting. Good things happen around faults.
Great hard work again mate 👍
Well done Levi awesome gold awesome country always great to watch mate
Ive literally dreamed about finding deposits that fill my sluice box with gold... but this is real, and its just incredible. Love you Levi, i hope you find the source🤙

Thanks Levi, I thoroughly enoyed that

Hey Levi. Love your videos. Wish I had the opportunity to have a crack at snipping. Every part of the adventure floats my boat. All the best

Seal skin socks are totally waterproof and warm. Try them 👍💚💛❤️
What a pan! Great stuff cheers fella ❤
When it comes to dredging, I personally would rather watch your sniping videos than digging dirt! Don't get me wrong, I love both, but nobody makes sniping videos as good as Levi!
Great video Levi , cheers 🍻 mate
Nice work Levi awesome vids mate love your channel.
Nice Levi thanks for sharing mate , well done on the 200,000 sub's
You know instead of packing the drone,pack a underwater paddle detector,not the full size one but a portable one like some tubers use ,that would really eliminate so much digging
Great Show Levi Great Show ! Really enjoyed it ! Thanks again from Kevin in France and Florida
The gold grains are all moderately rounded and have no sharp edges, nor do they contain quartz fragments; so they have been transported downstream some distance and haven’t come out of the quartz vein you were working (that vein however can also contain gold). The ironstone they’re covered in is oxidised sulphide minerals (most likely pyrite) that originally accompanied the gold.
