Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...

    Hi Chris I've posted you a little present in appreciation of the paydirt sample I won in your Patreon giveaway. I've recovered 1.15g of mostly very fine gold so far and there's a little more to recover yet. I'd noticed your "stampy" could do with an upgrade so I've made another one for you. Thanks for all your videos.

    Hello Chris. I have enjoyed your content. I went with a friend metal detecting twice to the central Victorian Gold fields between Bendigo & Ballarat aria, where we went & detected found tons of crap. When we were tired we looked at every thing the Old timers left for us to see very interesting. We went to the place & spot where Australia's largest nugget was found, It started to rain so we travelled a short distance to the town of Donnelly where we visited the Miners museum. Where we had an interesting tour by an old timer, I am 82. As we toured the wonderful exabits, we came to the wonderful FIREARMS display where were told, That if any person walking or snooping around the diggings {who was not singing or calling out their name or who they wanted to visit } the shotgun was discharged. The display of shotguns & pistoles from 150 years+ are great, Seeing all this old wonderful gunsmithing, I never asked how many people were shot or killed. I asked" How many weddings did the guns participated in". The place erupted in laughter. So now you know why you find lead in the Victoria gold fields. I love your videos & our wonderful country, I live in NEWCASTLE nsw. The Bakery = Pie shop close by is not to be missed. ENJOY LIFE.

    Well if it’s down hill set up a zip line to take the gold closer to the truck you can tie it to a tree and adjust the tension so it doesn’t slam and spill gravity is your friend mate. As for the vein they always say the deeper it goes the better it gets here’s hoping you hit actual gold veins deeper great video with much enthusiasm (for a damn good reason lol) AUSOME looking species and sharp reefy pieces thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

    Looks like a very promising site you found there, a must go back area. Follow the line, I would also sugest to take the brown weathered residual earth around the rotten vein for panning, should be fine gold it it. I´m very curious to see how the vein will give you more gold. Looks like a very high ammount of gold per ton. All the best and have fun in that new spot.
