Having spent 10 years on the couch, I can fully appreciate the bits of wisdom you weave into the narrative. Understanding the need to lead a purposeful life and to discover one's true self has greater value to your followers than any "gold".

I disagree, when you think that "improving yourself" and getting better, bigger, stronger or more successful in whatever you lose the important way of life and I myself am here to watch them trying to find gold with different methods. This is my view on it and I dont want to force my angle upon someone else. Everyone wants different things.

All about the journey, not the destination. Thanks for sharing and your insights into life, Chris.

Nothing better than being on the river. The gold is only a plus

So it's 3:30 am and I'm sitting here after watching this video realizing I kept expecting "Stampy" to be unable to crush a large piece of ore. No matter how many times you pounder it it wouldn't break and finding it was because there was a 12 ounce piece of gold in it! Lol. I sit breathlessly waiting for that very moment! Hope you're having a great new year. Keep 'em coming!

I think this is one of the best videos you’ve ever done Chris

Great video Chris. I have trouble explaining why I go prospecting so I have just stopped talking to people who don't! I enjoy the process as well. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Cheers

Through all these years, i love ya man! Watching an old video and still enjoying

You are a wealth of knowledge , gold does and always will do strange things to people ! Embracing the journey of finding a speck ❤️

This was an amazing video. It had all the good elements. Gold, motivation, comedy, well placed merch plugs, etc. Keep up the good work.

@@VoGusProspecting You are lucky that you have not heard about it yet, but it will soon affect you too and it is better to know in advance! look at these news about new draft laws, it's the same in new zealand. If we don't stand together against this, no one will be saved

Absolutely agree! The value of personal satisfaction that prospecting provides beyond the gold value is grossly understated.

My son and I spent a few trips to the public lands in New Mexico during spring months mostly using a dry washer. And yes we did find gold. The experience was more nostalgic than anything. Those trips usually were a week in duration, camping out in tents. The area was arid and high desert. At night you could look into the sky and watch satellites skim across the sky and see more stars in the heavens without the pollution of city lights. Chris, there's just nothing better than the beauty of gold and the outdoors.

Whoop whoop there it is! Great video, thank you Chris. You are absolutely correct, The Joy is in THE JOURNEY!

I also focus on the process, but for me, it's not so much about the hard work. (I'm an arthritic cripple that doesn't get around very well these days.) For me, it's the investigation, the mystery of "what will I find?" Will it be a bit of fly poop gold... Some nice banded mudstone... A pebble sized piece of Canadian black nephrite? The road there is beautiful, enjoy the scenery.

You sir, are an artist...technician...an engineer...an influencer...entertainer...comedian...and a supreme example of how one can pursue their own happiness...and more as words fail me...love your productions and watch all I come across...thankyou...

🤜🤛 Nice job my Aussie friend.!!! Way to go VO-GUS.!!!!

Chris, have you ever read Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance? That book is about defining the journey one takes in the process of doing something you love. Its the journey not the destination that matters.

I've been wondering, what happened to the series you started showing how you could start panning with basically trash to buy a scoop to buying other equipment?

Love what your doing and enjoy watching your channel grow. The new direction you want the channel to go is inspiring. Wish I got out and did this at your age before the MS took my balance, energy and strength. I may have to start pay dirt.

I really like the direction you are taking your channel. I also like the little funny bits like "Power!" Well done sir, well done.

Chris I just wanted to say I’m glad to see this “new direction“ seems quite familiar though, oh I’ve always liked how you were more about the process than the end result an this is why I started watching your channel over two years ago

Awesome stuff , great video mate and learnt a few new things as well. Many thanks from the WA the WA goldfields of Kalgoorlie Boulder western Australia.

love your videos buddy, just started getting into gold panning and love it

I do it for the gold... not the monetary value of it but the metal itself. It's so shiny and beautiful ... Ancient tribes believed that it was tears of the sun. Again great video, i enjoyed it alot thanks. Also why are u not crushing that ore?

ThankQ Chris, you and Fern, or is it Vern, I have trouble with hearing his name's proper pronunciation, but we all know who I'm talking about, but I appreciate you your video's very much. 👍🏻🍻❤

Love the Allan Watts Quotes. Great video Cris

FYI - the wise man in the background is Alan Watts, worth a lookup

So I have this question about some thing that I noticed recently ….. I do not pan for gold or even search for it. I am not in the region known for gold and the amount of work necessary would be far from worth it. You , Dan Hurd and Jeff Williams are my only source of influence. I really enjoy watching you guys panning . And in the past few days when I am cleaning my dishes I noticed that I am doing a panning motion….. you must do the same thing or am I wrong on this theory? 200 comments 200 comments 200 comments 200 comments And so on … keep having fun brother

I live in Oregon, and we have a good amount of gold, but I do it because it's a blast!! But it is more fun coming home with gold 😂

You need a bigger furnace to assy the galena & Capel out the gold & silver. It's great watching you branch out into other aspects of prospecting.

awe cute as a button.... Both the gold and the parakeets. they've been around long enough to know when you're about to start the crusher because they clear out just before you start lol So I am guessing you will be going back to that pile to do it again.... I like interactive wildlife.

I was so waiting for a reference too Captain Dan…😆😆😆😆 You so made my day Chris👍

Awesome video buddy, guess you stole our summer haha. That small high banker looks so cool.

Beautiful intro brother, absolutely can't get enough of your content!

Well you asked me what I think so here it goes. I know that you have an emotional attachment to stampie but, well hopefully you can get yourself a descent crusher soon. Love you man, it's men such as yourself who are making the world a better place. Cheers

Interesting little highbanker. Wise choice to not dump tails on unmined areas. Your theory on why we mine is very good.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

There is no real value in anything with out obstacles to over come. Thanks Chris

As long as you are delivering kindness, mindfulness, cute doggo, friendship witnessing, life witnessing and water sounds and sunshine, I will show up. :)

It would be fun to have Jason from Mount Baker Mining and Metals to smelt those sulphides release the remaining gold

Great Video Chris!

A similar question would be why do people fish? Cheaper to just buy it at the store. The effort to accomplish something makes it more valuable! This video has that big pick energy.......I like it!! 😝

Love the allan watts ..!

I need to refine some gold from my jewellery this weekend hopefully it's goes well and thank you for the motivation

When I was a boy, I heard "leave the dirty rocks on the beach." I was finding some nice agates. 😅 When I came home from school, my laundry went in and I would hear, " stop picking up rocks my dryer sounds like a cement mixer." My boys come home from school. The Mrs is doing the laundry. Sounds like a cement mixer. I get "tell those boys don't pick up rocks." No no took me to 45 to realize follow your passion at least a little. " Boys when you get home, empty your pockets here, your bucket, your bucket, wanna go find some rocks and learn a bit of this world's history and beauty." "Yes," " Yep" ... let's go!!! 😊❤❤❤ going gold panning soon. Thanks for the lessons... at least when we go, we got a shot. 😊

Really good video bud I enjoyed it

Chris silver can also be found in Galena as well, do y'all have silver ore in Australia

Would you say reedy creek is the best place to pan for gold or is their another creek better?
