It Came Back to Haunt Me! | Sluicing Chunky Gold in an Australian River

Sluicing gold has to be one of the most difficult yet rewarding ways of prospecting for gold. But those who put in the effort are often rewarded.... in nuggets.

    Hi from the UK. That twisty winding road you took is so much wider than the country roads over here. Not as flat either. Bet you'd like to try prospecting in Wales, but you won't like the roads 😉. Ferny needs more cuddles so I'm sending her some. You can share them, if you like.

    With the amount of lead you find, maybe you could make some money from it? I have a friend who metal detects on beaches and finds old lead fishing sinkers. He used to sell them to a fishing shop as second hand sinkers, but found out they pay 3 times as much for new ones. So now he smelts down the old lead sinkers, pours them into a mould and creates "new" sinkers. He sells them to the same fishing shop for triple the money. He's made a few hundred dollars now. With all the lead you're finding, and your new furnace. Maybe you could try this too? Worth a try. 😁

I either got a lot better at this or I’m having a flashback or de ja vu… 😂 😂 still just as good the second go round and I had the time so you get the watch time and a comment and a like. Thanks for sharing again see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. most people don’t notice but I knew those won’t your first pans because the water had been dirtied already 😬 but I did enjoy the second video from that area where gad zee found the stamp tailings very cool. How did the shovel doggers find that spot I know you looked underneath your car but you didn’t find the tracking device obviously. What you need is a tracking device detector they are so small now they are hard to find. Or am I just being paranoid lol either way sucks they found your spot

    Ok I think all the miners slash prospectors need to get together and agree. I believe a nugget is when you can hold it with two fingers and the skin/ flesh of the fingers don't touch. If they touch its a picker. Agreed?

    The pellet paddock is beautiful and full of history. Lucky you enjoying it. The permit plan is very flawed. Buuuuut.....there are areas where rare flora and fauna need to be protected. There has been a lot of theft and damage to native orchids in forests and grass lands. And disruption of habitat during native animal breeding seasons. For those areas I think tight protections are desirable.

    Hey my man, just wondering what the gravity syphon laws are in your area? I know where I am no machinery(pumps) are allowed. But gravity sluices are gray area enough you can normally get away with it. But I would love to see you give a homemade gravity sluice a go if it’s allowed near you. They are my person favorite way to look for gold. It’s like a continuous yabby pump and can let you move soooo much small stuff.

    Permits are not because of those that do the right thing, it's because of the dickheads that just won't. Red tape is 99.999999% the fault of a-holes and Gov't trying to give the honest people a chance. Otherwise, can you imagine your chances if the wrong doers could go full nuts?
