    Great find! I understand why you don't want to video the spot, but please tell us why you think this spot was so rich and what were the indicators for such a super hot spot.

    • @VoGusProspecting
      @VoGusProspecting  Před 2 lety +16

      Whole area was mined by a drag line dredge.
      The issue with these machines is often the can't reach all the way to the bottom. And they tend to miss side pay, especially near bedrock.
      This gold is side pat the dredge missed.

    @michaelboon9546 Před 4 lety +25

    Awesome find dude!
    I am a stone cutter (10+years of cutting), and own and operate a crystal, gem, and mineral store. Just to give you an idea about the garnets, I sell tumble polished pieces for $0.05/gram, however the Aussie ones would fetch a small premium. They look too small for cutting, but if you had a heap of them, they could be polished up. Any questions about stones/crystals, let me know :)

    • @VoGusProspecting
      @VoGusProspecting  Před 4 lety +5

      Cheers for the information mate!
      I know nothing about gems or crystals, I had to base my guess off Google and we all know how accurate that is.
      We get literally hundreds of these every session.

    • @michaelboon9546
      @michaelboon9546 Před 4 lety +5

      Vo-Gus Prospecting yeah, they are my area of specialty, so always happy to help with anything. Flick me through a message if there is anything I can help with.
      Would be awesome to find them, Aussie Garnets are amazing when cut, so if you ever find one big enough to cut (usually looking for minimum of 4-5cts for a good stone) let me know :)
      Best of luck with the rest of the digging.

    You should do a 40 hour "work" week on that same location but not touch the cons until the 40 hours is up. Then do another video. Would be cool to see a 40 hour work week of prospecting and the end results.

    The tiny garnets have a good color. Garnets do not have a high value like sapphires so I am not sure they Worth the cutting fees. But, it is actually very trendy to set rough stones in rings. Jewelers set rows of them and it is very cute. I think those garnets would do the job.

    Bloody Awesome return there Chris, nothing like getting a couple of grammes, a bit like the old days, tis a good feeling.
    The best I scored was a 6g nuggy, did the crazy dance, thank goodness no-one saw me.
    Keep it quiet from experience, the flies will come and descend and there wont be a scrap left.
    Even watched in rear view mirror as I drove away and saw them running down the hill and jumping into the spot I was working, gold does some stupid things to people and you just gotta wonder.
    Stay safe and go get some more dirt.
    Cheers
    Brad...

    Dam, my eye sights off, I wasn't expecting 4.4g when I said 2.8 on your Facebook post. Blown away for 10hrs Chris! Here's hoping 2020 gets bigger for you
