I have enjoyed coming along with you as you have been scratching out a living there in th outback. Your practically, " A Natural," at narrating th content of your filming efforts. I've listened to a lot of other folks as they detected, and they seem to think that cursing,makes a better video. Thank you, for governing your language on your videos. I'm a Brthr in CHRIST, cursing isn't necessary, in order to communicate. Cheers mate. Keep up th good work.

Nice work there Steve...great to come along for the trip.

This is a great video thanks for showing the countryside and the wild life.

hi steve have watched a number of your gold videos and enjoyed all of them hopefully ill get back to WA to do a bit of the same .i didnt realise you were a kiwi until i saw your video on 1080 my cobber a possum hunter in the late 70ts saw the total destruction of a kiwi colony near kahurangi light house by one of the first 1080 drops in that area . he told me they were so vocal it was hard to sleep at night but within three days he never heard another peep . so much for 1080 protecting our wild life

Hi Williaim, yeah that 1080 has really done a lot of damage in NZ. We've seen some awful sights over the years and unfortunately it dosen't look like ending any time soon either. They're using more every year and Kiwi are disappearing at an alarming rate. That story you said about the possum hunter sounds like many others we've heard across the country and it's so tragic. The departments just don't seem to care and of course they never go into the bush so they don't even now whats happening out there.

Great video Steve! I enjoyed all the content. Especially the wildlife. Most guys just show off their gold, but you went the extra mile to produce an excellent video.

Cracking video Steve! Very enjoyable. Great to you enjoying the wildlife and educating us along the way. Some nice bits of yellow. I've gotta plan a trip over that side some day. Thanks for the upload, Cheers Daz

Great clip art of the outback and the wildlife you come across in your travels.Thanks for sharing.

😅 I'm happy that that your trip had a good success with prospecting in WA out back. It is good to see how well your GPX has performed .Well done and happy prospecting.

Brilliant video, entertaining and informing. Love the commentary about the local fauna as well. Thanks for sharing.

Love you video and sharing info and showing the wildlife. Wishing you all the luck and find the big ones. That last one was a beauty.

Enjoyed watching you find gold.It was great to see all the wildlife also.Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. I met an Aussie man in Phnom Penh Cambodia in January of this year. We were talking about metal detecting. He told me used to do what you are doing now. He stopped because he is getting up in age and because of people robbing gold. Hope you never had to deal with those sorts of people.

One cool icon of Australia good on you mate

Thanks. Yeah I agree it would make a great series, if only a tv station was interested. I believe there is still some good gold in NZ but as far as I'm aware the country is mostly tied up with either private land or DOC administered land and their regulations make it extremely difficult or too costly.

Wow Steve loved this clip almost as much as your Roaring Dvds. Please keep whacking your clips on or better still come home and make some hunting clips and put them on the tube. I’ve always thought about gold hunting but from what you saying it’s a real mans game long brakes between finds, mind the heat might be good for your aches & pains . Better than the cold bush ..."..haha. Thank you very

You're a damned legend!!!!! I've subbed cause you're that damned legend. You are unbelievable, going out west all by yourself and doing the deed, coming home with the pay dirt. By the way, which way did you go from Hervey Bay? Up north and around or south? Also, your wild-life shots are awesome. You're the first prospector I've seen that promotes so much wild-life. That's brilliant. Looking forward to your next offerings from the wild west. Cheers on a great vid :)

Thanks for your kind words, I tend to do most of my major excursions solo and while it does add an extra degree of risk it all adds to the experience. I traveled over via the southern route, so past Broken Hill and out across the Nullabor then up to Kalgoorlie and beyond. Next trip I'll probably go via the northern route. I have another gold video I've just finished editing which will be on utube soon, with some bigger gold and larger wildlife also.

Great show!

Great video Steve, WA is a long way from Tuai and Lake Waikaremoana. I was detecting in WA in May/June around the Cue area so must have missed you by a few weeks. Found a few small nuggets but nothing like the big one on your video - beautiful piece. Really enjoy seeing all the other interesting things on your videos - The Eye of the Hunter is evident.

Looked like fun, love the animals you include

Hi, I usually like to go outback for a few months at a time as I did on this trip also. I can generally have enough food and water to last me for 3 weeks then I have to head to the nearest town to stock up again to last another 3 weeks and so on. I don't have a caravan or trailer so I'm a bit limited as to how much I can carry at a time. I just sleep in the vehicle as well. Unfortunately i don't film everything I find or all of the encounters I have as I don't always have my phone with me but it's nice to record some of it 😁. If you happen to have seen my recent trip to North Queensland you'll notice a completely different terrain which was quite challenging at times but a nice change of scenery and well worth it. Cheers 😃👍.

Ripper mate nice job great vid well done cheers

Dear mister Graf. Did you happen to lose a small Pick with a Green Handle in Clermont Forest. Ahava

Great video

Great film Steve! Happy to see you finally got some good gold! Remember when I met you in Leonora caravan park? You had a few tuff weeks without any gold. How long were you out in the Bush? I won't forget your stories from hitchhiking in Alaska! 👍

Hi sorry about the late reply, I only just recently checked the comments. I had someone else load the clip onto utube so I don't get the notifications when a comment comes in. Yeah it was a bit rough to start with but I met a guy from Tasmania who gave me a few tips on tuning etc and that was a great help. I ended up staying out there for a few months, covering a few different areas.

@@TimBrownSenorCafe I was able to ration my food and water so that I only had to go to a nearest town once every three weeks or so to stock up. I tend to eat and drink only the minimum when I do my excursions, and then I make up for it when I get back to civilization, Lol.

Sounds like a Kiwi accent NZ BTW the goats are regarded as feral in Aus

Thats was awesome! Almost as exciting as roaring in a stag!

Apparently Kangaroos can smell rain on the dry earth and scrub from a distance of fifty kilometers or so and a word describing that specific scent is 'Petrichor'.
