My step father went out that way to prospect once. He found no gold, just hundreds and hundreds of little copper rectangles about 1X3cm with the words "DICK HEAD" punched into every one.

With illegal metal detectoring in parks in the UK, people started press ing washers and penny coins into the ground. this made it impossible to use a metal detector.

@@blackcountryme seems like it would still "be possible" to use metal detectors. Maybe even recollecting the washers and pennies only to sell them back to those who would plant them again?

Did he leave them for you?

Chris I love the excitement at adding genuine bushcraft to the rig.

Fern was just trying to let you know that you were blowing gold out by sitting in the tailings mud pile.(She was trying to bring some home just like dad!) What a good girl. Love your videos as always

Loving seeing more of Mick and Gadsey. You three seem to have a blast when you out. I'm sure there must be some funny out takes with "boys being boys" stuff. Fern has such a personality, I love here antics even though it may frustrate you at times. Keep up the good work you guys.

I liked the support for your classifier. As my Dad always said - "Necessity is the Mother of invention." There are lots of gold prospecting shows on youtube, Chris. In my humble opinion, yours is the best. Your shows consistently show us... how to have a good time and enjoy a hobby, rather than hitting the streambed with a greedy, get-rich-quick, scheme. Keep it up!!

Being an ex-body and fender repair man I would suggest taking a slide hammer and weld a punch onto the end to break away the "concrete ". Might save the eyes and the "fly away " materials(gold). Love the dedication bro!!

I just started panning this summer. Of all the videos on panning I watch, I learn the most from you. Thank you for explaining everything so well. I'm from the northeast US in New England. Thank you and stay safe this summer.

I started planning and prospecting last summer. I'm in PA, USA. I'm having fun doing it and I hope to find a flake, or spell, someday. I'm doubtful in this area but I believe if I keep working ok my panning and reading the rivers I'll get weekday in looking for. You guys have helped me to get the fever to just so gold in my pan. Anyway, I'll keep learning from all you guys on KZread. Thanks for the inspiration.

It certainly helps having a digging buddy, and a great lesson in testing and looking everywhere

Fantastic day out in the bush. Well Done Mick and Chris.

awesome missed your video been in hospital twice over the last month and a bit. but seeing your zest all ways brings a smile.

Your adventures are truly appreciated thank you

yes nice gold and lots of it. thank you for sharing the adventure..

When you go back there bring like a 6 x 4 tarp or something and lay it down in front of that rock and Chipaway that way you catch everything buddy. But that’s awesome man If I was finding what you did in that handful, I would have such an adrenaline rush that I I’ll be like a woodpecker. Lol

Yup. I wouldn't even sluice or pan it though. I'd shovel it all into barrels of water and just let it soak for days to break down into mud. THEN process it.

As always, informative and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the hard work

It's great to see your side kick Fern taking a more active part of your exploration. Why was there for the building of your classifier, to checking out how "soft" the water was. Even helping with the exploration. Just an incredible amazing side kick. Loved your video Chris. Really great job with Fern, glad to see her taking a more active role. Ya did a great job mate. How much gold was your take? Was to busy enjoying Fern. I give her 2 thumbs up.

Glad you finally built that lean-to classifier. I bet it was super helpful in saving your and Mick's back. I have had mine for ages and I certainly is worth having around.

What you want for getting at those conglomerates is a tool the old timers called a driving mallet which is basically a sledgehammer with one end shaped like a cone that allows you to attack the face effectively and use the flat side to break up any chunks

They weren’t actually a manufactured tool they just filed down a sledge hammer and it’s a New Zealand thing so it will probably have a hundred different names around the world

Looks like a nice spot Chris. Hopefully you got enough to cover your costs, even if you didn't, still a nice day out in the bush. It would definitely be worth going back with some better equipment.

Nice work and find. It’s all in the process. Thanks for your vids.

Thanks for sharing these videos. Unfortunately I live in a non gold bearing area (Eastern Massachusetts) so watching your videos helps to scratch the itch. Good luck out there.

Great job guys, can’t wait to see the yields once you all get some bigger equipment up there

Very cool. Fern had a great time

Hey man looks like your had a blast. I like how you away explain how everything works and what you’re doing in your videos it really helps me out when I go prospecting.wheel barrel idea is pretty cool.

Great video. Show’s how much work goes into it all

Keep the vids coming Chris!

Great video Chris. What a nice haul

Very interesting guys. Never heard of drift mining before. Thanks for the education.

Good on ya Chris , great vid as always

Good job guys! You've got access to do many good areas!

Just dig your dogs having so much fun,its hard work but at least your finding gold,keep your enthusiasm and you just never know that big one is going to pop to the surface.

Always fun to watch your videos!

Love the wheel barrow idea. Keep the video coming man.

I like the videos that are between 10 and 15 mins long. Great content Chris.

Glad to hear you talking again🍻🍻🏅🏅

Awesome video Chris's hope all is well buddy

This was an awsome video chris. Love the wheel barrel. Pups getting big. Great job mick and chris.

Excellent area hello from nSW opal miner here

Hey I love gold panning - from Scotland - novice with enthusiasm !!

I love the variety in your videos

Great find hello from NSW opal miner here

Great exciting video loving all the expectations and of course fern ☺️ Cher fella 👍🏻✌️✌️

Great video bud. Keep them coming

Great spot you found there! Love the classifier!

Hell yeah!!! Keeping it real. Ty

I wish there were more public areas to pan in my neck of the woods. Keep up the good content!

Love the vid guys thanks.

Your hard work is paying off!

LOVE watching your videos. Definitely very informative. Can't wait to get the kiddos a gold pan and start panning. More kids should be doing this instead of being inside playing on their electronics.

What an interesting area, those old miners were very brave jumping in between those boulders.

Congratulations mate! Great video!

Great video as always.

Well done fellas. Love when a theory pays off. Love the big classifier too. Stay safe mate. Regards Andrew 😁👍

Welll done guys ... being able to find a drift mine it's really cool to see what the old timers were going after n what I need to look for in my neck of the woods much love n stay safely golden
