Exploring with an excavator - Our first 1 ounce Gold nugget
Once we have worked the ground on a cut a period of prospecting for new gold bearing ground can ensue. If you are lucky, the prospecting will be immediately successful; but sometimes finding new gold could take days or weeks. On this day we found a small but productive area which paid up some good gold straight away....including our biggest for the season so far.

This vid is a couple months old...Id say Donnie saw Mattys when he got it and thought that it looked the goods and bought one. There are nice machines. Too bad it arrived on the day I was leaving!

@@offgridearth567 The arthritis in the hands is real that you describe after picking at the hard ground , and yeah , it's a no brainer.

Its a mining lease, we put it all back and it re seeds and in a year or 18 months its a full forest again. I recon it actually invigorates the disturbed area.
It’s wild how much gold is in Australia, not to mention the places you find it. It’s so drastically different than USA. I’m in Oregon clear up in the mountains to find gold.

I'm not familiar with the U.S gold fields but I have to agree that the amount of gold still in Australian goldfields is mind boggling. I estimate dozens of tonnes still in the surface layers just around Clermont in Qld alone.
This the creek coming into 1870 Matt?

im not sure Matt will answer you directly Neil as I dont think he has a YT account. No this creek isnt the one at the entry to the lease.
