Magnet Fishing Australia’s OLDEST Bridge!
In a sleepy little town, way down the bottom of tasmania, lies an impressive arch steeped in history.
For decades it was the longest span of any bridge in Australia, and at over 2 hundred years old, it is the oldest bridge in the country.
In this video I head down south to visit this historic landmark and give my new magnet from www.bondimagnets.com a good test, bringing some a piece of history.

Finding $1000 Worth of Gold Every Day
zhlédnutí 976KPřed 3 měsíci
I’m out here camped in the wild reaches of Tasmania’s West coast, searching for alluvial gold. In my last episode I found several cracks which were packed full of small nuggets. Today I'll be heading downstream, to work some of the crevices that are otherwise unsnipable. The gold will be shiny, chunky, and plentiful, but will I be able to beat my last trips tally of over 22 grams?

In this video, I’ll be venturing deep into the wilderness of Tasmania’s cool temperate rainforest to search for shiny gold nuggets. This river I’ll be visiting has proven time and time again to deliver amazing gold, and thanks to its remoteness it has long been guarded from the advancements of the modern day prospector. #goldprospecting #goldennugget #losttreasure

There has never been an easier and safer time to explore and see our wild places than right now. And on this video we’ll do exactly that. Im heading into a new area to explore and prospect for gold.

    Supposedly, there’s a family that is secretly breeding them. I got that from a comment on Forrest’s unfortunate fake photos reveal. Poor guy! He wanted it all to be real. And, yes, I believe they’re out there! Doing what Tazzie Tigers do!!!!

    I absolutely believe the little fellas are out there. I’m really disappointed that Forrest’s photos were faked. I found out a few days ago. It was funny, he was playing the video of Benji over and over and some other photos but I was surprised at the similarities. I know that guy has spent numerous hours going over this stuff and didn’t catch the similarities. But I understand. I too wanted those photos to be real and he probably wants it more than me. Yes, I believe they’re out there keeping to themselves. We should seriously consider taking their lead.

    Appreciate this and your other videos. I am familiar with the bridge, living not far from it on the coast. Interesting, the magnet gizmo. I’ve wondered about a device like that first some time. Good to see it now exists. I wonder if really old artefacts are lost due to deterioration in the water over time?

    That was an amazing video Rob! 🤩🙌 I’m sure there is more treasure at that spot 🤩 I wonder if the horseshoe was from before the bridge was built? Would be interesting if you can get a date on the horseshoe to find out. Glad you enjoyed your Bondi Magnet 🧲👌 you actually have a really cool technique for throwing it..I was impressed 😃🤙 Looking forward to more tassie adventures. Oh and and Scout is a little dude we will have to get him a magnet soon 😍🧲👌

    Hey Rob, have a close look at the half horse shoe. It might be a bullock shoe, as they needed two to each foot. Having said that, I’m not too sure how much they were used in Australia.

    That horseshoe is large. Might be off a Clydesdale or another big draft horse. Nice bridge BTW.

    Before the bridge they rode the horses right through the river. Your shoe may predate the bridge.

    Hey Rob. Chances are, the horse shoe was pulled off the hoof by mud suction while crossing river before the bridge . It also looks quite large like it might have come off a draught horse.

    The shoe could be so old it came of a horse fording the river, even before the bridge was built. I don't think anyone threw shoes away, to valuable out there.

    Nice bit of history Rob, thanks 👍 Now as for that horse shoe, chances are it could have been thrown from a horse while running across the bridge some time ago, hypothetically speaking, and just the possibility of that happening.
