As a youngster, I would go down to river and pan the gravel bars, just the fun of it. I am now a combat related disabled Veteran and bedridden at the young age of 71. Your videos give me a lot of enjoyment, seeing others getting out into the back country enjoying their hobbies. I recently discovered your channel and really find enjoyment in it, stay safe, watch out for those deadly snakes and spiders.

Chris to the rescue! relief program! Thank you Chris and Mick and the pups!

Good ol' Mick. Man of few words, but a powerful presence on camera. Love your work, Sir

WOW! You can never tell what you are going to find, but I did't expect that much gold. Gold is Gold no matter how small. Love your videos!!!

Loved it and Brienne, my Irish Wolfhound, said thanks for the scratch behind the ear. Keep the great content coming.

Cool seeing such a good return on running sand, thanks for the great vid 👍👊

Another great visit! Glad you are getting out and nice pile of gold

Loved your setup on this one. Glad you've got some material to share while we're all in lock down: eases the cabin fever. Looking forward to the wight up. I guess Zoe's scales aren't quite that accurate...lol!

Loved it dude! Happy lockdown days Chris, hope you n the fam are keeping well mate. 👊

That was entertaining. Thanks for taking along. Best of Luck to future projects. 👍

Forget the gold, just give me a dog like grisly. Love that dog !

Looks like a heap of fun! Well done!

Very Professional. Micks even got the safety boots on.

Greetings brother gus it is good to see your programs in the midst of this quarantine in the Dominican Republic

Great video as always, Man...!!! I’ve been a big fan of the finest Gold for a long time. It’s great to be able to catch enough to put in a poke. I’ve been a fine Gold recovery specialist for a long long time. It’s all there was available to me and I learned how to process it better than most people. I have great equipment and a strong knowledge base on the super fine Gold. You guys are doing a smash up job with the gear you have.....!!! Congrats....!!!

I guess we all have different definitions of "heaps"...

Thank you Vo-Gus Prospecting, enjoyed. You asked for comments, so I would like to offer one on the topic of the reduction of material handling operations (energy). The main query is, Why double handle your shovel loads? Having 20 x buckets to dump straight into sluice would save a lot of shoveling. Alternatively, dump your buckets into some sort of elevated hopper that feeds the sluice directly. I know it is another piece of equipment to handle initially, but maybe it can double as a tote bin in which you can carry a lot of your clobber. Obviously, this suggestion is not for every site. But hope it is useful as it would save a lot of time and reduce load on your back. Cheers from Central Coast, NSW.

my favorite type of videos on gold prospecting

Thanks Chris. Good info. Wow nice pan from sand

11:09 Grizzlies like DIG!🤣

With steady work that fine gold adds up fast! Good job Chris. Nice gold guy's! GL&HD!

The frog excellent putting him back 🥂👏👏👏🖖😁

Great job Chris, that was an awesome setup for sure. 😁🤙 See you on the next one my fellow prospector.

Chris, hope you are doing well during all the Covid stuff. Stay safe, the nuggets are calling.

Love the Boxer🐾

Poor Griz just dyin for someone to throw him a rock... Thanks for the video, looks like a good time!

Epic man ! Loving the educational videos you put out.

Gold is gold it all adds up! I think all the flour gold looks awesome in piles!

Good morning Chris , suddenly I enjoy math . And I like the way your mate uses a bucket to pan into in order to collect more gold and lose less. Stay safe and healthy, best regards from Lloyd way over here in Ontario Canada.

Now that's some easy diggins ! Very good recovery. I agree, most gold is ultra fine (-100 mesh), and abundant. However, the trick is to build a machine that can recover it. That's my goal up here in US deserts. Cheers mate !

Nicely done. Waiting to see how you clean it up. That's the kind of gold I have to deal with.

I want to buy a river sluice but the gold where I live is very small. Is a dream mat the option? what do you suggest?

just got back 2 work this week after a month off cuz covid19... thank you for the video! i love ur channel makes me happy for awhile and just forget my problems. dude i appreciate you! thank you again for being here man. love u. behind on rent and little food in the house just taking care of my girl and 1 year old daughter. im going without for them to keep living comfortable. anyway love u brother. watching video now. cya thanks again for being u !

Nice you've got a pure breed dog and a mutt for highbanker! Very educating!

Woohoo !! Great video Chris ,looked like the easiest mining ever!! Stay safe buddy!!!

Love this one mate! Your best so far in edeting, content, knowledge and little jokes ;) Keep on like that! I also work a lot with highbanker and floodsand and love it as kontrast to deep creek showeling.. Best wishes from germany

CHRIS, FIRST thank you for taking all of us along!!, SECOND that is the size of gold I have around me except not in that quanity!!

Hello, hope you are doing well. While we all are on lockdown. Love your videos. Thanks for making my social distancing manageable

That actually looks like a great setup and plan! Hope you guys find a nugget the size of a grapefruit! Is the black sand volcanic?

I know it's worth it,those flour pieces add up specially when your on the gold.Chris gives great advice and I learn from his vids.Another great vid Chris and Happy Trails!😎

Chris, with the speed of the water racing above the sluice mats, is it fair to say that some of the tiny flakes of "flour" gold could be washed/lost into the river. If so, would a 20 litre bucket catching the sluice water, positioned just under the end of the last sluice mat, help in assisting any escaping flakes in settling to the bottom of the bucket? Perhaps a 40 mm PVC outlet tube inserted into the side of the bucket approximately 150 mm down from the top may also help to prevent said flakes overflowing the lip. Just an idea of mine, where the outlet tube might slow down the water entering the creek, thereby helping the gold to sink with less turbulence...

i find when im cleaning up really fine gold if i shake my pan side to side smooth and fast while hitting it off my other hand that baby powder -100 mesh all goes to the one side.

Thanks for sharing Chris

Sampling super fine stuff like that is actually what that _Best Dam Gold Pan_ is really good for. It loses a little less.

Found Gold specks under our Church while fixing the plumbing. And the Whole Town is Full of it .

Once again nice video, love watching you find gold like this because I found my first little batch of fine gold in the stream on our land this week nothing like yours though. Went through two and a half buckets just a little over a 5 gallon pail of material. Like I said not much but I did not find anything last year when I tried doing this for the first time. Watching your videos gave me hope. Thanks and be safe. Alabama shelter in place.

Would love to pan right now but all our parks are closed. O well, hope everybody is doing well. Another great video. "Puts on old moldy hat".

It is so weird watching these old videos from the one you make now wow what a change😮

You have it good in Vic, Chris. Here in NSW, we are only allowed to process 1 cubic metre of soil in any 48 hrs and we are not allowed to use a highbanker run with motorised pumps of any kind. Everything has to be manual. At least I'll get more exercise and save money on pumps, motors and batteries. We have a whole heap of other restrictions as well. At least we don't need a permit as you do in WA, unless we want to fossick in a state forest, then we need one.

Hey Chris hey Mick hope lifes ok for y'all! Brilliant gold!

Great vid and I like how you show gold can be where we would usually not look. I wonder how much gold made it to just the last sluice, as that setup looks like it covers all bases (moss, gold hog and gold rat). I hope you have enough videos to keep going until the end of home isolation, or maybe a new podcast or two 😀

Hey Chris, my dad was a career British soldier for 23 years which meant I went to 13 schools which adds up to me absolutely hating maths and almost every other subject too except art and history. You can keep your numbers lol. Chris. Perth.

GREAT VIDEO !! Got a real kick out of the new multi-sluice,but with such fine gold looked like you needed all the capture you could get.! Stay safe, if you need a scale let me know.

I know I'd have to say that's pretty nice cold after 2 hours of me working man I get like 30 specs. but good heads up on that we fought it and we got a ton of that sand in my yard right now I'm going to go and try pan right now. Good show brother.

Its an old miners tale that gold sinks down through sand and gravels when its not moving and there is no water flow. I know you may have been told this but it just doesn't work that way.

I really enjoyed watching you catching the fine gold as this is the bulk of my material. Flour gold is what I hunt for. It will be interesting to see how you separate it from the magnetite. I still wait until mid winter and do a tea spoon at a time. Very time consuming. Awesome video!

Gold is gold no matter what size it is. We have flour gold around here that is so small I could not see it the first few times I panned. Someone had to point it out to me before I could see it. I now use reading glasses so I can see the gold. Thanks Chris and crew for the great video, I relly enjoyed.

Really enjoyed that👍

I deal with mostly fine gold like that where I live it ads up

im sporting the beard and living the lifestyle... thank you Gus

Grizz is a great Foreman lol

Hey Chris, was it just the "Rog" that made you pick that site? Or were there other indicators? Haha, cheers. Fun video

Two toes has a method of catching the itty bitty stuff.

a hollow cone, think ice cream cone, with steps for riffles / ridges of gradually reducing size as it approaches the top, spun with concentrate will sort by size and weight in each step, make 2 or 3 steps the same size before reducing and the ower one will have gold the upper one less so, reducing in size as they radius to the top. this should be a full proof sleuce. to clear as you spin faster you clear just tier by tier layer by layer, a precise spinner can be done with a series of rollers

Cools finds. Definitely a place to go back to. Subbed
