- Why Did I Ever Abandon This Gold Mine!?
Its been 2 years since i walked off this 1800s gold mine and in that two years the creek has fully reloaded with gold! Not just small fine gold, but nuggets and specimens.
We panned hundreds of dollars of gold out of this creek after tracing the gold to find a good deposit. And there is a lot more there to sluice at a later date!

How many of you have said qweef instead of quiff 😅?
I was like did he says queef? Then you said it again and I was like must be a Australian thing lol😂😂😂
I say fanny fart!
Bunch of hot air
That's a real Bobby dasiller
I'd be up for a sniff of quiff, but not a sneef of qweef😂🤣👍
@@NovoGold 😏👍👍😂
Insomnia keeping you up at night?
No worries! The boys are back on the creek! Who needs sleep if you could have vicarious gold fever?!
I like the Gadzee side-glance in the background while Chris is talking lol
Chris and Gadzee playing in lovely, characterful gravels, gold, gems, lumpy bits... and reducing the burden of exotic vegetation, win, win, community win. Win³! With appreciation, Gabi of Narre Warren.
Love watching you lads hanging out together doing what you love. 🇦🇺😎
An Elvis quartz with a ‘queef’?
Yeah nah, that’s not the thing you think it is Chris my man.
Quiff is the word you’re searching for!
😂
I love me some good neologistics, new words are sometimes needed.
I think preemptively ahead of the word not said right might be quoife? A fattish quiff of forelock? How'd I go? Very 90's raver look with baseball cap right way.
@@gabivalla6279 like your cap, worn forwards, at early 90s Raves, it would appear that a quoife (which, interestingly, appears to have an alternative spelling of Coif) is a closely fitting hat.
Only this hat was worn under a veil in the Middle Ages by many women but now only by nuns.
I believe the word you may have been reaching for is the alternative spelling for quiff which, reading the definition now, may actually be the original spelling possibly pre Americanisation, or, whereas quiff refers exclusively to the male hair flick, may be the word from which quiff developed so that folk would understand that you were on about the male variant.
Coif, short for coiffure, used in an American sense typically referred to as woman’s fancy hairdo arranged into complicated braids anchored by bobby pins.
Something similar to what you’d likely see being paraded around Royal Ascot Racecourse these days.
Glad someone else picked that up! Couldn't stop laughing for 5 mins thinking about an Elvis Queef - he did get pretty sweaty in his later years...🤣🤣🤣
@@spikejohnson4477 he probably experienced quite a few too 😂
You said quiff😅
Thank you kind sir for this entertaining and educational cinematic experience! Lol right on Chris and Gadzee
Hey Chris and Gadzee, your new spot has niece chunky gold!! Keep finding that AU!😀👌👍👍👍✌
Adding you can test the weight of the gold in the beautiful ironstone gold specimen with what The Gold Rush Guy showed on a recent upload, place water in a clear plastic tub and tare off that amount, tie the specimen on a length of cotton string, suspend in the water, and, using a calculation table for specific gravity, you'll be able to get a good approximation for the weight of the gold. Whether other chunks of ironstone may also contain gold I'll guess you've tested for that before and found them unproductive? Cheers to you and Gadzee, and the mateship you encourage among the viewership, whilst battling bots and butts. Cheers again from Gabi of Narre Warren, and avagoodweekend!
As a Crow-eater - I'm blown away by all the lovely water you lot get in Victoria.
Yeah the gold is the main game - but that water is an extra bonus - that's for sure🙂
Cant live without it
Sorry about the delay dude, had a bit of trouble resetting passwords, all sorted, now a channel member 😁👍
Brilliant Chris, nice work , cheers 👍👍👍
Great job again, Chris! Loving seeing you so happy. Cheers! 🙂👍
Just what I was looking for!
I'm so amazed, Chris! Those species, coarse pieces, and the amounts of gold were shocking to say the least! 🧐😱 Furthermore, over 2.5gm weight?!?! Unbelievable! So happy for you my friend! This little creek looks like it holds much more, so I think you'll be making more trips there. I certainly would! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
It's paid out great
Always a great time with y'all Ozarks love
Thanks for sharing well done good luck stay safe
Awesome brother. Can't wait for the total 100 bucket gold. Please stay safe out there and Gold bless you always
Damn it! I want to see day 2 now!
How dare CZcams for unsubbing ppl. On another channel, I watch, he's having problems with the same. But I would definitely know if CZcams did that to me, you n Gadzee are my favorite channel of all my subscriptions. Oh and MrBallen. Can't ever forget about him.
Y'all have a great week and be safe. Cheers ✌️
Great video as always!, beautiful gold and great entertainment, that Elvis specimen be worth a fortune 😂
Hi Chris and gadzee
Hiiiiii
Ironstone specimens are awesome. What a fantastic spot to play in. 2.5 grams! Wow. Thanks for sharing your adventures Chris. Cheers
Man I hope I win the prize! Glad I'm a patron. I cant wait to start finding some reef gold like that up north here
Cheers for the vid Chris, some very nice bits there. Got permission from the boss to go have a dig on Sunday, can't wait :)
45 buckets from unnamed to go, 45 buckets to go. He yabi pumped down, and panned it around, 45 buckets from unnamed to go.
Chris, The gold Professor. Thanks for todays lesson...
Thanks Chris!
I watch regularly from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA. I find your content particularly good because the geology here is VERY similar here.
He'll yeah boys ,bout damn time!!!
Can't wait for more!!!🤑🤑🤑
Great looking gold.😊😊
Been waiting to see you go back there! Nice work man. In our area in Oregon, gold law states if it doesn't fit up the snuffer, its a picka!
Great day out! That’s a noice nugget indeed. 👍😎🎩⚒️G.P.
Thanks 👍
Chris, im now a patron for the second time i guess? face book i guess removed me as a patron so whatever, i watch all your videos and that extra dollar is nothing compared to what i get out of watching you.
it's too hot here to go out so bring it my man!
Well done Chris. Not bad for a casual day on the pan. Image what could have happened if it was a formal day on the pan 😁👍
It's looking good cris....😂
1,179 👍's up VGP thank you for sharing 🤗
what a day..Im really glad that spot is hard to get to....because it makes it really worth your while going. Nice
That’s awesome mate well done ⛏️🍻
ooh chunky bits , looked cold in that creek.
Another great video guys
That's a Goodin
howdy from hangtown california usa. my 1850s placer mine is dead center in the motherlode. ive been watching your channel very interesting content good work guys. i just noticed youtube added something new to the comment section if you click on my big green g you have option to watch us crazy hillbilly miners. not sure if this works in other parts of the world
Im from hangtown also and have panned every creek in Eldorado county
@@thomasbritton3376 well brother maybe we will meet up at the mercantile buying more stuff we dont need
Love watching you two nuggets washing them dirty rocks lol
You guys are fun to watch. Finding gold is just a bonus!
Awwww. Now i wish you click baited me 😢 lol
Great spot keep up the good work mate
Bananzzzaaaa 🪣 time well done young Chris ❤from Glasgow Scotland 🏴
That's not Elvis......Its a Pauly tooth with a gold root🍻
You sir have inspired me to return to thus spikey creek 👌
That was a very happy and entertaining video to watch. And 2.5g in one day! Just awesome!
Wow!what a prospecting trip!thats awsome guys!thanks Chris!(and captain sweatpants! )
A great time on the creek, with a very good deposit. Well done boys. Chunky bits, fine gold and species. Awesome. I too have noticed that a number of subs dissappear , join 1 day gone the next. Either uts CZcams or I am too boring!?!? Keep punching
❤ it😊
Soon I'll be zoro with a shovel chris 😂 Mad little nugs there. Be careful with your knee. I had a swollen knee at the start of the year. I just brushed it off as abuse from floor tiling for 15 years but i finally got a scan and they found a clot in my leg. Cheers for the video
Luke
Few people i know have had a few clots from the astra covid 19 shot! Stay safe
Oh...i gold plated my dingleberries once Chris, Nice Chunkies like in your pan!!
A quiff! Though I am sure Elvis experienced some queefs at times!
Nice take!! Way to go guys!!
Cheers mate
I love you bro God bless you🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤ from Tamilnadu. India
I hear ya brother, no matter how big it is, I still can't find the sweet spot.
7:23…that’s the most pointing I have ever seen mate! Good job!
Maximum pointing effort
@@VoGusProspecting lmao! You do good work bud! Keep it up!!
Not Elvis! Russell. Russell Coif.😂😂🤠
I find it much easier to just bend the paper when dropping it on the scale as opposed to folding the paper which seems to make the gold stick in the fold. We have mostly flour like you do. Worth a try.
Got my 1g Pay dirt thanks bud !!! black sand looks thick in the bag have not panned it yet
Did you get any extra gold?
This is a great vid.
About once a week I go thru my subscriptions and check them, I’m finding and resubscribed
Putting in the hard yards
Indeed
love this!, means im gonna see a new gadzee video too at some point! 2 for 1!
I would totally buy a bag of ironstone from that creek, if you sold it. small chance of gold but cool pieces.
I freaking love your channel I live in the gold rush discovery area in California Chris you are a pimp I ❤ur everything
Great to see both of your channels growing guys👍👍👍
Not like some Shovel Dogger that's vanished😂😂😂
I’ve only been watching Chris and Gadzee for a bit, and heard the term shovel dogger a couple of times, but still don’t really know what it means, could you please tell me what one is?
@ryanadams3858 where you have a spot you are working, and someone else has knowledge of or knows the location and they go and smash the area when you are not there. Kind of like a claim jumper, without being a claim. Just common courtesy and respect amongst fellow prospectors that's all.
Ok , thanks for the comment back cheers mate 👍
ty
Those blackberries are grand for extreme exfoliation 😅😂.
I had to make a scramble through some with shorts on and i looked like a cougars scratching post😅
Nice work!
Thanks
😎👍
Way to go chris
Ya ref gold is interesting
Ahem, that’s a coif, short fore coiffure. A queef is something different.
Bone Appetit Fern : ) !!!!!
You and Dan Hurd need to team up!
I dont want to step on anyone's claim. I like life. But how do i know where i shouldnt go prospecting. Chris, you and Gadzee have inspired me. I haven't done prospecting yet. But slowly building some equipment and trying to gather any info i can. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Love the videos
Lol.
My name is Christopher and i am eating tofu bolognaise while watching🤣
Thanks again for a good video Chris and Gauzy. 2.5 grams is a great day in anybodies book.
Gauzy hahaha
Don't know if anyone mentioned, but can I just say you are rocking that hairstyle well.
Happy prospecting
Hey Chris awesome video like always. You should test some of that quarts to see if it contains any gold, Like you did with you're dry washer tailing that one time
I made this comment before you showed the pieces you where taking. Can't wait to see the results mate
Ooohhh, get’n all jaggedy and $hit! 2g+ a very nice day.
I Reckon that calls for a SHAZAM!! lol
You can find devils dice down my way at sofala and hill end quite common there
Thanks Chris for answering my curiosity question of what the lil square rocks are. I've been getting them too out here in the Northwest.
I can only dream of getting that much gold in one pan.. half a dozen specks is my Pb at the moment. I'm still hopeful that one day I'll hit the honey hole and come home with something decent yella.
Thanks for being you and sharing your knowledge. I look forward to my morning laughs 😊 keep them coming.
Hey any gold is good brother
Hell yeah, got to hold 3 massive nuggets worth roughly $35,000 on the weekend and I went weak at the knee's. 😂
Good day to you and yours from North Carolina brother… give fern a scratch behind the ears
14:10
So you’re panning upstream and all the broken up clay silt is going back into your hole? Lol
3:21 😂😂😂
love an ironstone/quartz laden creek with no black sand
There's a little black sand but nothing like Reedy
Bet that nugget just came off the reef in geological time anyway.
***WARNING*** Knife Hand makes an appearance. Knife hand is used to cut through all BS and to point out just the way it is!
Love the videos. Keep up all that hard work so we at home can dream of gold in the pan.
Try to do another video there but bring the high banka
You realize like any good goldminer your waste pile is on the really big gold
Still here
Is troll season,before or after duck season in Australia. What's the daily bag limit ?
i went out today to a spot but i checked 8 holes no gold... lol black sand and lead but no yellow
A Tasmanian prospector that works in bigger creeks than you and uses a wetsuit and snorkel has shown how the tilted bed rock that erodes in ridges like a ripple board as you stated today does indeed trap gold and quite big bits. He uses a scrapper tool and not a sucker to get to the bottom of the ripples.
He uses a scraper because the water's deep & current free - enough to call for it.
I've also seen him use a yabbie & bottle
I think the best half of the challenge is to come 45 more you can do it...
I'm guessing 3.18oz total from the 100bucket strike it rich...
Seen a guy use a battery pool cleaner to clean the bottom it was cool
Could you do the same with laws there ?
A new measurement of power has been established. A 1 Gadzee engine. Also what I'm hearing is Chris is Fern's bone dealer.
