My mom was a farm girl from Florida. Growing up in the 'sticks,' the Sears and Roebuck catalog was a gift from heaven according to her. It came around twice a year and was first come, first served. It ran out pretty quick between 9 sisters and brothers. If I had a choice, catalog over corn cobs (which is true by the way) is my pick! Although you climbed a mountain, Chris, I was quite shocked that you found those 2 chunky-style bits. Looking at the steep angles, I thought most alluvial gold would have washed much further down. However, tickled pink that you could find more! Keep up the great work and keep on a'climbin'! Warm hugs from Alabama ❤️

When I’m stressed I watch your channel. Helps my PTSD. Keep up the good work mate!

Thank you Chris and Gadzee for your amazing adventure videos. You guys do such a great job of filling a void in my life. Where I live, there’s nothing geologically interesting in the earth. It would be a two day trek just to find exposed bedrock with no guarantee of finding anything. But every Saturday, I’m transported to the chunky gold hills of Australia to live out my prospecting fantasies. I can’t wait for the day I get to see a little sparkle on my fingertip after panning. I hope you boys find a yam sized nugget to share! 🙂👍

And a pry bar to open up those cracks. I used to hike in a 5 foot hard steel pry bar to open up cracks and move huge slabs of more or less loose rock. Back to the creek! Thanks for your videos!

Hello vogus just letting you know every time I watch your videos my dogs knows your voice and always waits for the end of the video to get a nice scratch behind hims ear haha

At 9:31, that metal tube is a collar for a wooden handled tool like a file or screwdriver or similar. It fits around the handle where the tang of the tool goes into the handle to stop it splitting out

With all the awesome editing you both do I feel like you could have put a link on screen 😁 I very much enjoyed this video Criss and I hope you and your family are beating the hurt! Thank for sharing. Your devotion is to be commended 👍👍

Well done, Chris! You taught Gadzee well

You are right, it is the perfect time to get back into prospecting. I'm going right now to get a bucket of dirt from the old mine.

I would say the little metal ring is off of a chisel, they were wrapped around where the wooden handle had the tang fitted to stop it splitting

Just want to say thank you for all of the awesome content you have given us. I've been watching your videos for a bit over 6 years now. Your switch to hard rock has me super excited for you. I hope you find El Dorado!

Chris you so great. Your videos are awesome I enjoy watching them. I know that I will never meet you in person. Because I am disabled and I live in South Carolina, USA.I have sit here laughing at you. But you are the best.

Great job Pete some nice little finds in a new place is always good

Great video Chrisco with costar Gadzee, you two's make a great comedian team for two ol' Aussie blokes. ❤😅👍🏻🧡💯

Why was I not invited to come see The Rolling Stones live in the bush? Great video and already been following Buckshot (sir goat pants). Both do great videos.

That metal ring looks like it was a feral that stopped the wooden handle splitting when the tang of a chisel was inserted into it. There was often another feral at the other end of the chisel handle to stop the handle splitting when being struck with a hammer or mallet.

Another top video guys. What I like about your production, is you always teach something about the area you are in. These are far more enjoyable to watch than the other gold shows. They always have some manufactured drama.

At about 2.30min in you discuss a clay filled structure with different rocks of either side. This type of structure is typical of geologic faults where rock bodies have been sliding past each other. The clay material is often called "fault gouge" and it is produced by the grinding effect of the sliding rocks. Depending on when the fault occurred in relation to the mineralising event, these locations may very well contain gold. Some years ago, I did some consulting work with an outfit around Hill End in NSW. The famous 93kg Holterman Specimen was associated with one of these faults. The company I was with located the fault in a few other places but alas no more 93kg specimens!

Don't be so sure about that Chris! When my Dad was cleaning out my Grandfather's house, his neighbour Bill came over to help and as he turned over a 1945 newspaper, it disintegrated in his hand, on the page facing up was an article about the activities of Flying Boats up in Northern Australia. Neither the Catalina Club or the RAAF Club had that article on file, so my Grandfather had contributed to the historical record of both organisations. Bill had flown in the Cats during the war as an Air Gunner/Airframe Rigger and has since passed away. Such are the vagaries of history and of maintaining a historical record of events even when recorded by the media. Mark from Melbourne Australia

Metal ring was probably the hilt of a chisel handle

The loop, maybe a pen 🖊 that needed an ink well?

Your archaeology (really physical anthropology) is of utmost interest as it takes a snapshot of a moment of time otherwise forgotten. SCIENCE! Oft times more valuable than anything glittering like gold... 🤔

That little ring could have been a file handle they probably filed there tools, here in Oregon we have bad fire danger we have to keep fire tools sharp makes digging easy.

@9:30 i reckon that is off a wooden file handle

Love your content mate 🤙🏼

The ring could be chisel handle or possibly a cream brush. Keep up the good work 👏

gold, good. rolling big rocks, better big rock breaks log, BEST

Looks like he’s using a Gold Monster 1000. Many prospectors prefer the Gold Monster 1000 and/or the Gold Bug / Gold Bug 2, which is very popular too. Dan Hurd, Jeff Williams, and Pioneer Pauly all use one or both of the aforementioned detectors. Gold Monster makes more powerful units too, like the 6000, but the 1000 is more than adequate in my opinion. I use the Gold Bug 2, but if I could go back and do it over again, I’d get a Gold Monster 1000. Seems like it has some better features, ground penetration, iron discrimination, and it has a better tone too. Easier on the ears. Check your local markets for used units too. My local prospecting supply store has dozens of lightly used detectors. Also, a Garrett AT Handheld pinpointer is very handy. Hope this helps! Happy prospecting and may you and your son have heavy pans too!
