The big U-shaped frame you found is part of a horse-drawn slip scoop. A large shovel/scoop was mounted in the middle and dragged by a horse. When full of earth, it was flipper over to empty it by lifting the back end up , so the the front edge dug into the ground, flipping it over. That was how they would have cut the road in. Drag and tip, drag and tip. My dad used on up until the 80s to clean out dams, with a tractor instead of a horse.

Love the respect that you pay to the old timers, the music, the conditions that they endured just to survive was incredible. Thanks

There are so many elements to admire - your use of research to weave a story, your planning and problemsolving, filming and editing, your wonder and joy at what you see and find.

It's nice to see you re-tracing some history again.

Hi Rob. You are living my dream. Im 46 and live in a historically gold rich country. Its not too late for me. You are an inspiration. Thanks! Ps. Sadly it is illegal for the everyman to obtain or sell gold here and our prisons are some of the worst in the world.

The green bottle with the crown seal probably dates from the 1920's. The broken neck would be from a bottle dated in the late 1800's. Great finds.

Please do another more in-depth video of the area. SOON LOVE YOUR WORK

Rob, you’re a great story teller with a passion for history and adventure. Thanks for taking us along on this journey with you.

Thank you for taking us with you into Tazzy history

Hi Rob, just came here to say that I love your enthusiasm for adventure and discovery. You fill a niche that has been so sadly lacking on the youtube. As a west coast born boy, your fillum documentaries covering the west coast's classical mining heritage are always fascinating and you're one of my youtube heroes. Stay awesome.

Hello Rob and family. Hope you're all well and good 🙏♥️

Thanks for the awesome share my new Tasmanian mate... Greetings from the Gold Hill mining district of southwestern Oregon, US. ⛏️⚒️⛏️

🤙🍻 nothing beat following in the old timers foot steps

Finding those old artifacts is always exciting. Some folks wont see the reasons we love to find things they might see as useless junk but to know the history of some old timer using an item in their day to day rough life out in the wilderness is pretty cool to me. Every time!

You do this very naturally and very well. Thanks for having us along, Rob. Stick a magnet on your pick. No hook for me. I'm too old for wetsuits and sniping - I just shovel then suction pump my favorite spot for coarse gold and facet quality topaz mainly.

iv'e found some beautiful old picks, chissels, clysdale horseshoes,harnes buckles, and countless other artifacts in northern tas, nice trip .

Nice job locating the Camp/Mine site! And great history unearthed 👍

Shout out to Rob for these adventures

Beautiful work Rob, thank you for sharing...you are not alone in loving and revealing history, I get thrilled over every boot tack, button, cutlery and broken tool that I find in the quest for gold...ony to appreciate it is so much more than gold

Hi Rob I am a relative of the T Wragg you are talking about. This is amazing !!! Thank you

Rob amazing you’re attention to detail is meticulous, I don’t need a crevasing hook just glad to watch these vlogs ! A proud Tasmanian

Love your videos mate. Helps me escape the depression of the brew room and get to see our beautiful country

How amazing to find all that history from decades ago .... love that you respect the old timers who used to prospect there. Lovely going back in time with you. Thanks for taking us along.

What an awesome trip in such beautiful country.

Rob, you have a gift for film making. Loving your new channel too x

That is an amazing spot. Imagine back then finding a spot like that and setting up camp etc. Thanks for another history video.

Thankyou Rob for another adventure

Great spot 😊 I love history like this, when the land speaks to you 😊

So much respect you continue to show for the old timers and what remains you discover. Thank goodness you’ve chosen to share this history. As you said, the land holds on to it & so much has already disappeared. This is another beautiful film. Love the soundtrack too. I feel that’s an important part of your films Rob. Heartfelt thanks☺️

I watch a lot of gold videos like yours and can't stop thinking that they were digging under tree roots and around them ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love seeing you back out there discovering old huts and ground. Awesome!

I would like the crevassing tool.

I’ve been so inspired by you to start prospecting and I’ve now shared the love of nature and the golden days with my brother and I’d love a crevice hook!!

As always, much love and appreciation, Rob, from Texas. I anticipate each new journey you lead us all through, unable to physically be there, yet there in spirit. Bless you and bless you precious family as you all bless us.❤

I too would love the crevicing hook. I live in Tasmania and love panning and detecting. Love the west coast 😍

“I’d love one of the crevassing hooks” I have a few places up in QLD I would like to give a go! Nice work love the old timer history awesome to see ⛏️

Thanks Rob, looking forward to part 2. Tassie is such a beautiful place, I haven't been back there since my nan passed away, she was at police point on the Huon, But moved to Grindelwald to be closer to her specialist. It's been almost 20 years since I've been back.

Amazing scenery. Nice finds too! Thanks for sharing mate!

Well this is another fine adventure you have taken us along on,edge of your seat excitement, amazing country and history,thank you from the old lenahvalley boys ❤

Absolutely stunning

Really enjoyed this video Rob, the history is fascinating! Looking forward to Part 2! 🙂👍

I'd love one of those crevicing hooks Awesome times in the bush love it!

Great find from your dedicated research. Can't wait for you to go back for another look and explore.

Thank you so much teaching about the history’s gold rush in your country. Your videos are amazing. Love watching your new adventures with your family. Keep up the good work. I have so much respect for you.

Thank you, Rob!

Great video. Love the history. Definitely take us back there and explore the area.

Mr Thomas D Wragg led a fascinating life! He was an artist, draughtsman and engraver. His comment on the rapid removal of the Blackwood forest was quite prescient, in my humble opinion. Thomas drowned in the Cam River at Somerset 29 years later.

Your onto a treasure trove of history there Rob! looking forward to the next instalment, and as a novice gold prospector I'd love a crevicing hook!

Enjoy the beautiful country you travel thru. There are places I could sit down and marvel at the scenery for hours.I would thank you for the tool.I would use it wisely. Thanks for showing the backcountry of New Zealand. Robert. 😊

Beautiful scenery out there.

Great video and very much looking forward to a follow-up in this area. Also of course I could make good use of the crevicing hook as well. Thanks for sharing.

It's funny, the old timers were all probably young fellas like Rob back then. 😂 Great video!

Would love the crevicing hook. Both my hubby and I in our old age are going gold prospecting together. 4 years ago we were set ready to go until I got sick and soon getting an operation which will fix my illness in early August. After that we are going to head off to the goldfields in QLD to fossick. Just adore your family, and man, the work you put into the historical records and then finding the locations is amazing. Always you bring history alive across the globe of watchers. Thank you for being an outstanding humanbeing.

Es un lugar realmente hermoso gracias por compartir tu vídeo saludos cordiales desde Colombia 🎉🎉🎉

Awesome video Rob, and I loved the music too mate , obviously lends itself to the rich heritage of many who came out to prospect so long ago ! Loved it ! Regards Leighton

What fun...thanks for bringing us along. I don't need a crevassing hook as the gold in my domain of ancient bedrock has been ground to flour and washed out to sea.

Hey Rob. I love these videos. Thanks. I reckon the metal frame you located was the top frame from a wheel barrow. Obviously the rest of the barrow has rotted away.

another great journey. Thanks Rob

You're a good story teller my friend !!

Love finding history! Thanks for sharing your journey! I'd love to have one of those crevicing tools!

Brilliant as always !

So beautiful thank you for sharing your amazing journey. Be safe 🙏

I'd love one of those Crevicing Hooks! :)

Absolutely love your 2nd channel now Rob!! Having 2 to choose from is just awesome. Almost like the homesteading one better… almost lol

Wow, I live in that area Henrietta Tas, I will need to go for a look. I have some pretty basic prospecting gear and spend what time I can around my Daughters 52 acres and river in the Crookwell ( Tuena) NSW area prospecting with my Grandsons. Yep, I'm old, 66yoa now . I would love a S/steel tool to help us and enjoy the time we have together. Thanks Ron, love your work. ⛏

This was a absolute pleasure to watch. Would love one of the picks....

Always a treat when a video drops.

Thanks Rob. Nice to see your hard work. Come to fruition As always, you tell a great story of what it would have been like in the articles of the paper was sensational. Looking forward to the next one
