I enjoy all your videos, but the recent ones using homemade equipment look like way more fun. And Gatze makes a great side-kick for the adventures.

@hawkeye2001 don't know if u know that he has own channel buckshot prospectsor

You built a wall……..out of a log……..without your “branch manager” 😂🐶

They should make a cartoon about you two. Your both a funny as together!🤣😂🤣

That laminar flow across the board in slow motion is sooooo satisfying. 😎👍

Because of you I have built "The Gold Digger 9000". It'll suck the chrome off a bumper. A hand bilge pump converted to a modular dirt sucker.

Chris,you've now told us 3 or 4 times that you gotta beat that Matt after it's dried out...but I don't believe you've showed us that process yet. Keep on keeping on

Love watching the homemade equipment in action. You should make a comfortable yoke out of aluminum. It would save your arms well carrying buckets.

You guys are by far the most entertaining prospecting show out there.

The secret to getting help at Bunnings is to call the store number while you're in the isle at the store. They generally come to you quicker.

Home-made bodgie stuff??? Bloody brilliant. Keep 'em coming, please. Hows about taking suggestions on what to build next???

Nothing better than using homemade prospecting equipment on the creek 😎 Awesome video and advice 👍

Best gold content on KZread. The jokes and culture is unbeatable.

Hey Chris, you are on point about how many people that are so afraid of failure that they never even try? Every aspect of life is learned one way or another so expanding one's knowledge should be a life long adventure!!! You and Gaddzee are two hard working dude's , Cheers Mate

Love the mega sluice and the comedy and the gold takes👍👍

ThankQ Chrisco Gadzee for the fun in the sun while digging for gold. ❤👏👍🏻🙏☝🏻

Making my own sluice box and other things is so rewarding, and finding the materials roadside shopping makes it affordable lol.... Thanks for the video Chris Cheers mate 👍🤓✌️

I recommend instead of putting your mat wedges under screws, add some fixed blocks to wedge under. It ill last a lot longer. I'm a toolmaker/fitter/machinist with around 20 years exp. across a lot of different fields from aerospace to electrical and would gladly consult with you for free. I'm somewhat medically retired now but love to share knowledge and tips and help design stuff. I've had a keen interest in gold mining since Gold Rush started on Discovery. I watch Bering Sea Gold as well. I often look at their equipment and see ways to improve it and believe I have a good understanding of how it all works. One of my dreams is to one day go up to Alaska and see what I can do. I have the knowledge, just not the health, or the money yet.

Hi Chris, I notice that you are lucky that everywhere you go the gravel bars are easy to dig up. In Western Washington where I dig , the gravel is filled with fist to head sized rocks that are packed hard and need to be pried up with pick or shovel using my boot to pry over.

Hey mate, I laugh every time when you and Gadzee go prospecting! Keep up the great videos! Cheers Mates.

👍thumbs up to the mega sluice

Wow that was a way bigger amount than I thought. Always surprised with that big sluice.

I have been watching your videos for few years now and I love how you always have fun with what you're doing and how you convey that fun to us. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Great video Chris, prospecting is something I’ve always wanted to do but most of my life with almost anything I want to do I was being told nope no money in that, but I truely wonder where I’d be if I had just gone with my gut and done at least one of those things so now I’m almost over the hill I’m prospecting and while it definitely will not replace what I earn in my job I am having fun, getting fit and preparing for the day I can afford to retire and finally do some of the other things I’ve wanted to do, all of which could have made me a lot of money but am happy enough to use them to make retirement a little more comfortable, maybe or maybe I should just try retiring early a practice run and if the practice run works out I’ll just keep on keeping on doing what I love to do 😁 cheers 🍻

Aaaaaah yes the good old fashion meat scoop. Absolutely 50 meters. That sluice is perfection.. i love it. Great show brother thank you fir sharing. This video was awsome

Oooh lots of gems in with those golds

I LOVE 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'!!!!!!

Apple dumpling gang was mine as a kid in the 90s

Your statement about trying to do something hit home, and it actually involves you. I watched one of your videos when you were doing a clean up, and you pointed out the difficulty of removing the black sand, and how much trouble it gave you panning, and I had an idea pop up that I really think would work. I've gotten the equipment I needed, but have been sitting around not working on it. I am going to put the thing together, and test it as best I can, then I will contact you and let you know how it works. If it works the way I'm thinking it should work, I think you might be interested. You might stop cursing black sand even.😅

i certainly didnt expect that intro 🤣

Thank you for the adventure. Its nice to watch two friends having a good day prospecting "down under" and learning me something!

Thanks for sharing Chris.

Making a tool rather than running to the store and buying it is very satisfying.

Love the support you talk 🙂 I get a kick out of watching the mega sluice 😂🤙👍

Great results mate! I like it, keep on crushing it!

I will never not chuckle at the colour gags.

DIY equipment works, glad you got your confidence! Nice work!

Bed knobs and broom sticks was one of my all time favorite movies as a kid

Chris, you're a freaking LEGEND mate. Love ya

I absolutely love this channel. Hello from Oregon 👋🏻

Cool setup and having fun. Yeah

Awsome work guys both of you make an enjoyable watch and very educational

hearing you Aussies saying meters is pleasing my ears :D

Chris, yes 48 meters is 50 meters when carrying two full buckets !

Absolutely love your "home-made stuff" videos - this was a super enjoyable one...can't say I agree on Bedknobs tho! Keep the content coming!

Glad the beard has made a come back! Gotta go dan hurd style!

Like your huge homemade sluce box! It really works great! Love these videos!

You almost need a motorised wheelbarrow to truck your dirt to the creek Great vid as always

Man I love your channel! And you!! First thing out of the gate, “Bedknobs & Broomsticks” is the best movie ever!… I love it!

I agree bed knows and broomsticks quality film and another fantastic video

I really like what you’re doing!👍👍

Cant argue - Bedknobs and Broomsticks IS the best movie ever.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that you and Gadzee rival Dan Hurd and Pioneer Pauly as most entertaining prospecting channels.. and that’s saying something.. keep it up, boys! 🙂🙂👍

Well done., thank you.

I love your commentary!!!😊

Got to add vogus to horse shoe"s and hand granades! Cause that close enough!!!😂😂😂 5:07

Maybe you could make a little tipping cradle for your buckets so it is easier to scrape out onto your sluice.

Nicely done brother ✊🫡

I am surprised you didn't cut down a dare bottle to use as a scoop... I love your videos and would love to have a crack at this.

@ 11:40, I remember your member portal being open.

You had me at"lamellar flow." Show me the gold, McGuire!

I wish! Id have a bigger shovel then

Nice one Brother

In Canada 🇨🇦, 2 things here both illegal, a ground sluice for 1, & 2: if the water you are releasing has a heavier silt load than the water 💧 it is being released into, big no no. However, the idea of classifying the paydirt beforehand could be really useful for the same reasons as given. At $2600/ounce not a bad day.

Nice 1 bud like the way u think keep up the good work.👍⚒️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Dear Sir, I, like most people of my age, was born in the ‘80s, and therefore fondly remember the film “Flight of the Navigator”. This, not Broomknobs and Stickbeds, is the best Disney film of all times. Not only does it feature the first use of reflection mapping in cinema history, it also features a cute young Sarah Jessica Parker before she looked like a shoe. Yours etc., Rear Admiral Sir Archibald Q. Hincklebottom OBE (Mrs)

You should build a sifter similar to what archeologists use to screen material.

Ever thought about panning in the creeks around mount Morgan?

DUDE! Make a mini hopper and feeder battery powered, so you can feed that sucker while you test pan/dig more. Shit now i want to build it too.

11:45 the aluminum strip is called metal -mate. That's the most Australia brand ever. Would be like dude or guy where mate was in the US

. . . are you old enough to have seen Bed-knobs and Broomsticks, mate?. I watched that in the theater in 1975 on my ninth birthday !.

It's my favourite movie. I've seen it every year as a minimum. Weekly as a kid.

X communication ....go Chris that gold is incredibly pretty

Wow, 0,68 is a lot in that much dirt... good spot...

Everyone needs a Gadzee when prospecting to keep moral high

Good stuff. Go the home made 😁👍

Nice, may see you on X. I visit on occasion.

3:07 rule is always ‘closest, but not over’; so Chris wins! But importantly “what’s that got to do with my knob?”

Nice mauve buckets

great content

That's what she said!!!!😂

To solve your dispute over the distance, I propose the invention of a new system of measurement: the Vo-Gus system (Forget metric this will be the best)

Great fun

I have interest in knowing what was in your screened waste? ... water classify your screen waste into a pan and find out if gold is sticking to the rocks, then calculate a loss percentage with what you get from the sluice.

😎👍 Hey Chris 🙌 I see your roughing it

Aaah gadzee never argue distance with a successful archer

Good thing to do is to re-scoop the sluice at the dropping point of the sluice box.. We used to get a lot from there..

Is that reedy creek near Gladstone Queensland ? If so it’s near me.

MEGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The laminar flow shot in beginning sequence beautiful but ... I'm going with our generation almost always uses the "price is right" rules of the person that gets closest without going over . So no 48 isn't 50 lol so senior sweat pants wins

i have used meat scoops on order, have a wonderful day!

Hey I have that wood watch! Nice

If you need rain to wash the rock pile to check for crystals. How about use a bucket of rain to dump on it.

Nice gold in the mega sluice enjoy all your videos ⚒️🇺🇸🕳️⛏️

Don't know about meters but I'm usually only off 1-2 +- yards when I step out something like that.

Hello, this is my great friend 👍

Agree.

What do you and others do during drought years and no stream flow....improvise in some other way or just go without water and detect/drybank only ?

Yo I only found your channel a few days ago and liked what you do. Now that I have seen your Pokemon socks, that's worth a follow!

When I knew I was going to have to build a damn I always carried with me a 4‘ x 10‘ piece of plastic. It made dam building a breeze. Lay down a log and it bury the front side of the plastic in the sand.
