    Scuba diving navy years off the Oregon Coast. Just put a long strip of velcro in your kit, and secure a big rip in the ripped suite that way. Oddly enough it works pretty well until you can repair it. 😉

    Levi you are a very good prospector you brave the freezing cold in a mountainous area for a gram or two of gold, with a ripped wetty and never once complained, just like a surfer it’s all about ( search and you will find ) at any cost.
    Such an array of colour in that hard fought gold a really great find, well deserved my fellow Aussie 👏👌

    Fascinating shaped gold 💛 thanks for the education… toothbrush, hairdryer great tools of the trade!! Beautiful snowscapes too….

    Great job mate. Found some nice gold there.
    Get yourself an ultrasonic cleaner to clean your gold. I use it to clean mine. Any bits of gold that fall off are trapped in it so it's never lost. Even though the plug in the sink does well.
    Nice looking nug you detected. Cheers for sharing Levi.
    Good Luck & Happy Swingin'

    You are a beast Levi! Not much seems to stop you from getting out there. I get cold just watching you get in that creek. I guess it’s true, no pain no gain. Nice looking gold especially the half gram piece. Take care out there and look forward to more adventures with you!

    Absolutely love that coarse gold! Found a patch with my SDC last year, all coarse or beautiful isometric crystalline gold pieces. Next day a storm dropped several inches of snow on the area!

  • @JohnWilson-cs7iq
    @JohnWilson-cs7iq Před 2 lety +2

    Nice one Levi. When pin pointing with the SDC to find your moved target, tip the coil up on edge as being a mono coil the whole outer edge is very sensitive & will really bang on the target with a small narrow footprint & not the whole width of that 8" coil. :).

  • @hardyakka6200
    @hardyakka6200 Před 2 lety +2

    crystal gold forms after it gets heated twice. a deposit in rock when another intrusion reheats it, allowing it to crystalize as it slowly cooled. i have a very bright piece i found from New Guinea.

  • @sxyangeleyez
    @sxyangeleyez Před 2 lety +1

    2 thumbs up, great video, I live in Ohio, which is under Canada, we received gold from them from 3 glacial pushes. I found some ore samples while gardening so now I am going back to this fissure that I am having no luck at and looking for more

  • @moneybox5733
    @moneybox5733 Před rokem

    Great video and I'm envious of the beautiful fresh running water. We only have dry dusty gullies here but we still have alluvial gold. I find the easiest way to dry the last out of my pan is to put it into a small white breakfast bowl and sit it on top of the toaster. Within a couple of minutes it's nicely dried out. Then I strain it through the tealeaf strainer that removes all the fine black sand (and some fine gold) I keep that sand for another process later.

    My lesson for the day, I now know the difference between alluvial and elluvial, thank you :) I always wondered what you meant when you said alluvial. You are super dedicated getting out there and in the water in the depths of winter, your hands must get so cold. Need to treat ya self to a new wet suit. Great education and interesting video as always

    Nice and warm here, but hard to put a coat on once you plunged into that meltwater. Detect that black clay mate it looks to be loaded. The old blokes would have used a puddler. I bet there should be one there or a tough. THAT GOLD LOOKED GRAND.

    Howdi from Nanaimo. We have gold like that here up the island too. Lots of ancient rivers. It's everywhere actually. It's amazing that we have the same topography and vegetation. Same trees and ferns. Millions of years ago we must have been connected before plate tectonics did their thing and placed us both on the opposite sides of the planet. Have a nice day. Love the vids.
