This time we will carrying in our dive compressors in an attempt to snipe for gold in the deeper water. It fast becomes one of our toughest missions to date but the rewards are worth the effort. Join us on this massive mission into Tasmania's wild rivers for the adventure of a lifetime.

    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.

      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...

    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?

  • @inshanity84
    @inshanity84 Před rokem +2

    *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.

  • @PrometheusZandski
    @PrometheusZandski Před rokem +4

    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.

    @waynelacroix8870 Před rokem +1

    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’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.

    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.
