#goldnuggets #golddiscovery #divingdeep - Jak na to + styl
Levi you’ve done it mate. You pulled it off. I can’t believe the size of the nuggets you guys were pulling. The best part is your not selfish. You could of worked that all out on ur own somehow but you’d rather share the wealth with a good friend. Just awesome.
Thats why he is my idol now
My 2nd time at the rever is 0
While true, I will tell you from experience, there are more instances than not where you NEED a partner. Safety issues are probably the most responsible reason, but help getting equipment in is probably the biggest reason. Also, it is always better with two thinkers. One time, every day by myself for a week, I hauled a 6 inch dredge and various camping supplies into a very remote area, in doing so, every day I wished someone was helping me.. before I started dredging I asked a friend to join me, It is so much nicer when running a 6 in a smaller sized waterway, to have a tender, someone to help with a plug in the hose, tailing piles, box packing up, etc... plus conversation..... After I took him to the site, about a 5 hr hike if your packed light.... we were standing there shootin the bull, and he pipes up with, "my dad has a helicopter"..... all I could do was look at him, I was dumbfounded!!! LMAO!!! Guess how I got all that equipment out? It was well worth sharing the gold, even pops got a cut to help out on AV gas!!! Besides that, I can tell you this, It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to keep your own mouth shut if you make a rich discovery!!! Its good to have someone watchin your back as you are diving, puts your mind at ease.... once while dredging, I had an overwhelming feeling I was being watched, or I'm not alone.... I slowly popped my head up outta the water, and there was a huge mountain lion on the bank just checking me out...looking eye to eye about 10 ft. away!!!! It's hard to describe that feeling!!!! I threw a rock and it was gone, but.... yikes... So, best to have a good buddy on yer six!!! blessings and peace, OUT...
Levi and Ron, so glad you went all the way in with the gear, it turned out to be just as magical as the first time! Fantastic adventure that you are bringing us along with, thank you, the excitement is contagious!
Honestly what a treat 2 little mini series in a row couldn't get any better
OMG My heart skipped I can only imagine what yours did finding that nugget. I’ve packed in to camp with a full pack which sent me in to a brook. You did well balancing through and over those log jams. Your editing and videos are top notch. Love them. Looking forward to episode 2.
At some point I’m going to have to stop saying what a fantastic run of videos you’ve been making.
But todays not that day.
So well done Levi!
Absolutely incredible achievement! ❤
Thank you both. 🙏
I knew you would go back there, I'll bet Rob is glad too! Awesome find, can't wait for the next video! Thanks Levi.
I think it's awesome you spent all that time finding that place and then you brought your friend along to reap the rewards with you. Can't wait for the next one!
Hello Levi and Rob . I have spent a lot of time fishing the rivers in your videos . We didn’t have the gear you blokes have . Most of my time spent on our beautiful rivers was with my great mate “Peter Tippet “ His dad was a tassie forester “Max Tippet” he gave us all the information we needed to find some of the wonderful places you show . So cherish the time you spend together . Rip “Old Mates Peter 1990 and Max 1997.keep up the friendship you just never know?
Really enjoyed trekking along with you boys. Ty, I've gotten to bent up with age for such trips anymore and it's good to see you guys making good wages doing something you love. Blessings brothers
Really enjoying your videos and have been going backwards to watch them all. I’m an old dredger born and raised in Alaska. My bones are too old now but I’ve got the memories of many great adventures and rely on young guys like you for new ones.
Amazing Levi, well done on the nuggets. Beautiful scenery, thanks for taking us along
You are unbelievable Levi! After an epic three part adventure, you are back and into the deep waters for even bigger gold. I am speechless! You gave a good laugh when you admitted to getting old from the workout on the first day. At 73, everything I try to do is a workout. You made my day!
❤
Thank you Levi & Rob, for sharing these awesome adventures with us! I can honestly say that no one other channels that I follow can beat your content! You are killing it and deserve every bit of the rewards!! Bravo!!
Can't wait for part 2❣️
Don’t you just love the lustre of gold? Well done guys, nice few chunks there.
Hey Andy 😎
Excellent sharing Levi, glad to see you two out together sharing the adventure. Golden moments and superb filming, the music went very well with all the beautiful foliage around you both. Thanks for sharing your beautiful country with us mate. 🫶✌️👊💪🇺🇸⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
I'm totally hooked on your adventures and I really pleased when all your hard work pays off. Thanks for sharing.
If this video doesn’t get you excited for gold nothing can. What an amazing start for both of you guys and really nice chunky nuggets. Hard work, you guys earned that haul. Looking forward to the next one! Be safe out there and best of luck.
Meanwhile where I live you can't even find the tiniest speck of flour gold. But it's not all bad news, the gold you can find in this area is in the beautiful sunsets
Where are you from?
Same here in Kansas. Hard to beat the sunsets
Hi Snek. That’s the way keep positive…be positive.
In the lower 48 it seems you have to have mountains to find the good stuff. Love these videos of some nice people and gold.
Spoken like a true diplomat.
Absolutely incredible Levi. Simply amazing well done. Stay safe
A man has to do what aman has to do. Well said. Really would like to join you on such trips. Its hard, but also an amazing adventure.
Your adventuring in the wilderness and mining the rivers give you a real connection to the Earth and humanity. Consider yourselves very fortunate as so many people never see what's beyond the concrete jungle.
*Tip - I snipe remote, deep water too. I use an old pair of jogging pants to fill with sand/gravel to use as a weight belt. Zip tie the waist and tie off the legs in front of you. It takes up hardly space in my pack and you don't have to hike in the extra awkward weight.
👍😁
Instead of using a weight belt, use a belt with pockets to hold rocks and sand. It weighs nothing when moving, but can weigh a lot on site.
A Waited 4 Gold belt, start shallow with luck it's bloop bloop down to Darth Vader zone.
Brilliant guys! I'm so pleased you made it back and got to the big stuff.
Thank you again for sharing your amazing adventures. I really look forward to seeing more of them.
I'm so glad you went with someone.
Absolutely amazing as always Levi. What an awesome adventure
Thanks, Levi, for not just doing a highlight reel of your trip. Respect for going into the hard to reach areas. From Canada 🇨🇦.
I've been sniping for gold in California and like you we have found the better gold in deeper water. In one of your videos you use your pack filled with rocks but found difficult to manage the weight on your back. Just a suggestion but put your pack on backwards on your chest and it becomes much eaiser. I use a supplied air system compressor and generator. It's more bulky but it lasts for many hours. I also have 50 feet of hose but I don't dive to that depth. Anyway I'm enjoying your videos! Very nice finds!
I am glad all the hard work is paying off. Levi that specimen nugget is spectacular! Congrats!
I’m so happy for you guys finding all that gold. All your hard work was paying off with dragging all that heavy equipment congratulations
That first day looked absolutely knackering. You guys are amazing. You need your own tv series, but dont change what you do, it's perfect. Thanks for sharing an epic Tassie wilderness pure gold adventure.
I’m so envious of your experiences even though I spent 25 years doing similar work. I picked wild mushrooms for a living in the western U.S. and I did manage to do a fair amount of gold prospecting but not nearly as much as I wanted to. There simply isn’t enough time in one life to do it all. Cheers and thanks for allowing me to experience this through you.
Levi, Congrats to you and Rob. I love your longer videos and following along on the adventure is so amazing for me. My health would never let me do this anymore and it's great to go along if only through video. Thanks and here to more nuggies!!
Just an option. Pocketed weight vest or pocketed weight belt.
With zero weights. Get to where your planned dive. Fill up the pockets with stone to your correctly weighted.
If you have a speargun there are some bluefin tuna getting in close near Wynyard. That would make some awesome footage. And you seem handy in the ocean with the flippers and snorkel judging by previous videos
By far the best thing on you tube, well deserved treasure for the amount of effort that took! Luck favours the brave! Thanks for creating these immense adventures, I can’t get enough of it it. 👌
AWSOME!! Thank you for taking a mate with you. Pauly scared the hell out of me with his accident.
This is absolutely awesome. What a great story teller you are mate. Love your work!
I really love your adventures into those remote places of our beautiful world. Those mostly untouched hidden tracts of land are priceless and the gold is also cool. Keep it coming!
The last few vids have been so incredible. What awesome adventures and how incredibly you were able to convey this to us behind screens. A super job. Thanks so much. I love your even calm way of presenting. It is really wonderful. Thanks for taking the efforts to bring us along. Makes me want to head out in to the west desert, the Utah bush.
I felt that “ahh shaddup” so much. Love the banter 😂
You should make a belt where you can pack it with heavy rocks when you get to where you are going. Would save you a lot of work. Just something with nets for rocks attached would work well I think 👍❤️💛💚
This is now my favorite channel. Love it. Love the adventure. All the best
Yikes 10 hours of brutal energy expenditure but I reckon that nugget made it worthwhile eh lol that place is just as beautiful as the first time bummer on the equipment failure but looks like the gold is there in different areas if your finding that big of nuggets there has to more and BIGGER there somewhere. Great adventure thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Wow I'm amazed by the work you and Rob put in to get the hookah's, dive belts, batteries, and gear down to that remote spot. Glad it payed off my friend! woohoo what a chunker
I watch quite a few gold channels
Yours is as rugged as they are, with outstanding results, most often.
Those images of you lads laying back by the fire made me so envious. Great spot. Great video.
Enjoyed the adventure, and watching Rob and yourself at the top of your game. Outstanding!
Nothing like a real life adventure, thank you and Rob for sharing your experience with us fellow outdoorsmen!
You’ve ignited a fire in me that cannot be extinguished ❤🎉👑
Once again, your adventures have me enthralled and captivated. Bravo!
The saga continues and I am in love.
What a treat. Thanks for taking us along Levi. Good work sharing with a friend and diving with a buddy.
Great to see you teamed up with your mate Rob, don't think you could have made a better choice. Those nuggets are amazing but the scenery and comradery with Rob is even better. Looking forward to the next installment. Be safe.
Cant wait to see part 2 you have me on the edge of my seat! Good to see rob on this trip. Having a friend you can trust makes the adventure more fun. Thx levi nice nugs btw.
Absolutely loved it. Fantastic. Looked incredible challenging but so so rewarding
Hard yakka!!!…thanks so much for taking us on your journey we appreciate all the hard yard🙏👍
Totally satisfying video the gold was the bonus - one of those videos when it comes to an end you didn’t realise you’d watched that much .
Thanks Levi and Rob good times.
The hard work is worth the reward. Good job guys! Enjoy these "remember when" moments that make us smile when we're old.
I LIKE Rob's idea of using his backpack filled with rocks as a dive belt. I'm sure others may have said the same but at least it's out of my head! Keep on prospecting I'm envious of your adventures.
Yeah that was Levi’s idea 😁 I’ve used it in previous videos but yes it would have been good for this trip it’s a bit tricky balancing and working with the pack so I opted to drag that belt up there 🙄
Always remember...no whistling when backpacking...they'll make you carry more weight!
Amazing job again!! Looking forward to the rest of this series!!
You are insane! I can’t believe you had to do 2 round trip’s for all the gear. Amazing.
Awesome job mate's. Love your adventures.
very cool, and well done.
Cheers
Jim
Thanks for bringing us along, brother!
Those nuggets are more rough, than round. If I were you, I'd start looking for the source upstream! When the gold runs lean, your near the vein, or look for a stream coming in to the main river! Go BIG and find the source !!!!!!!!
I knew there had to be a bunch more at the bottom of that pool. Tip of the hat sir's. Amazing find so far, can't wait to see the rest of the trip.
Thank you for posting and sharing. Glad that the two of you were able to get back in with the Bluetti, and other "heavy equipment." Looks like it is really paying off.
Ouuuh yeesss he‘s returning!!!😍 no way, i wished you go back with a compressor while watching the videos! Im in for a treat with this video, love it!!
Wow, and I thought my hiking pack at 20kg was heavy. 50kg is another level. Another great episode. Keep them coming.
This is crazy cool
It nuts how your sharing such a good spot and both of you are killing it .
Definitely this is so fun to watch 🎉
Thank for sharing
Levi I luv it amazing video and adventure my friend thanks 😊 and Rob
That is awesome thank you for sharing be safe levi 🙏. There is 1 nugget that means there is more. Can't wait for the grand weight in. The gold ur finding there will take time to get it all. It's close to a source that's the only spot you found good gold in it will only get better.
What an Adventure....💪🤗👍😎😎
And 4 Nice Nuggets...🏋️🤠💥💥💥💥 Can't wait to watch second part....🤓🤘👌
Another absolutely awesome kickass video Levi, enjoyed it and can't wait to see what's in store for the next one so keep um coming ty and God bless. Much love doggies
Nice job and good reward for the hard grind. Can't wait for part 2
Yess!!! Levi your channel has turned into my favorite one 😁 keep the gold coming and be safe on your journeys on the rivers and creeks, it's just amazing how heavy laden that area is with so much color, I feel like I'm right there with you, tazi is a beautiful island, can't wait for the next vid, thanks again my brother from down unda, well east of down under lol 😂
❤
Frigen awesome Levi, love it thank you.
Hiya Levi, awesome video mate, and awesome day on the river, you've found the Mother Load. Beautiful spessie.I hope you have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya!
😺🐟 out!
Levi, glad to see you had Rob with you on this trip. Always better to have a mate along. Sharing that gold and living your best life in the wild.
Dude.... seriously can’t wait for the next episode.
Awsome video as always levi !
Great job gents. Thanks for sharing with us.
Aw mate, as an old director I wanna comp. Yous two on some massive production value. Kudos…..I know how difficult location filming is with a crew so want to acknowledge the fitness and the effort I know you’ve put in self shooting the whole films…..soooo entertaining and the setting is a character all on its own 🤝
Well done mate! That is AWESOME!!
Outstanding video - can’t wait for the continuation. Such arduous effort needed to get the gold - definitely not for the faint of heart. The scenery is amazing. I’m currently drawing a screen capture from one of your videos. This channel is pure entertainment in so many ways.
Wow awesome Levi can’t wait for part 2 well done nice nuggets 👍👍👍
Worst part of these videos is when it ends. I could watch a week long marathon. We need more batteries, fuel, panels and gold!
Good luck guys. And thanks for the vids:D
🌿♥️🌿
Wow. Great job. You put in the work.
And just look at the reward. 👍
Awesome video and journey again. Thanks for sharing and another terrific gold take
just awesome man thanks again for sharing looking forward to part two
There's only one thing better than a good day on the gold, and thats having a mate there to share it with. Good times boys, keep it up!
Whoa… just got to the part you found the big nuggets!!! Well done guys… “Mumma who shrunk the gold” as you pulled the first out of water 😂
Wow what an incredible adventure! You're amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm blown away by the gold And the scenery. Absolutely beautiful 😍
Every time you post a new adventure it's better than the last. Can't believe you haven't been approached by the telly people looking to do a series on you.
Oh wow~! Talk about leaving us with a cliff hanger. Well done boys. Can't wait to see more.
Sooo good you two are fit bugers and it pays off.
Great stuff. Only come across you last week, but right into these trips.
Real challenge and it's great to see it rewarded.
LOL I love that you first showed Rob the nugget while submerged, classic TBP!!
Awesome Levi. Just the adventure alone is epic let alone the nuggets.
Hey Levi, fabulous what a couple of nice Nuggets you found. Can't wait for Part 2....Pete from Devonport . ♊♊
