it is neat to see the progression your channel has taken from years ago to now, you have improved your methods and techniques and its really quite cool to watch

In case anyone else wanted to try jerky: My personal tip would be to add dry rub afterwards. I like a bit of a flavour explosion when I make jerky, so I add some hot and sweet seasoning after its done drying. Brown sugar, salt, cayenne pepper and a small amount of red chili flakes, and rub it in.

Absolutely 🙂 Personally I like a simple flavour profile, hence simple recipie

Hey Chris thanks for everything you have taught us! Thanks to you I found my first gold deposit yesterday in my home state of Michigan. 39 pieces in 5 pans!

That is probably one of the best stool samples I've ever seen in my life that's just funny that's just funny I'm a Vietnam vet and you just tracked me up I love your Channel

As an experienced rocker box builder and user I would recommend putting a few riffles on your top mat and have the matting between them (I usually use 12mm square dressed pine) and miners mass as the mat. All of this will increase the top mat recovery and help it spread the material out, which increases the bottom recovery as well (ie. run more material or clay-y stuff between clean outs) while still being a more authentic rocker box

Fun video, Chris, Gad Zee and Mick. Creepy doll arm scared the hell out of me. Am hoping that the security team gets a share of the shiny. Thanks to all for taking us along for the adventure.

It's good to see Mick back out! He and Gadzy make good mates, at least on a KZread video

Love the old steel pan and rocker box! I found a little .42 gram nugget exactly like your smelted gold, crazy how dense it can be. Looked like it would've weighed half of that

I love my little rocker box. You inspired me a couple of years ago to research and build one. It works very well out in the desert and uses waaaaaay less water than a recirculating set up. It is slower but I love it. Thanks Chris. Heavy pans!

Omg you two together Crack me up. Enjoy every day your out together. Looks like so much fun

Classification is also important not just for particles competing in the sluice but for the actual force of water required to move the particles to be different enough to allow separation. Considering a round-ish particle of black sand, and similarly shaped piece of gold, the gold can have 1/3 the diameter before the force becomes the same. Classifying to 1/2 causes there to always be a significant difference allowing the gold to be separated.

I love your old school and low tech vids Chris, they encourage hobbyists to give prospecting a go. Im hoping you will go thru the puddle dregs in dry season. Any gold lost from the rocker is in there somewhere! The jerky recipe looks tasty. I'd add a tad more liquid bread and chilli. All added to good Aussie grass fed beef. Yes!

Woot woot, loved this episode and your own creative flair!

You need an old stool to set next to that rocker box to stave off some of that old man back!
