- G'Day, many thanks for having a look at my video. Today we're going to experience my discovery of The Walkaway Gold Mine. I had a Secret Map that led me to this fabulously rich high-grade deposit. Also, I'll show you a bit about the Australian bush, it's not all about the shiny stuff. This video is more than a decade old, way before 4K HD, but you still get the fever! OK, please Subscribe, Like and Comment as I have more fun and games for you. Cheers ... PS ... Oh sorry I had to upload this video for a second time because some bits were lost in the first upload. Very sorry to lose your comments, please do so again! CYA
Raw, honest, and riveting viewing. You are a modern-day "Old Timer" for sure!
Never have we had to my knowledge a really genuine look at a true gold prospector in action from the ground up.Many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Feel so honoured to know you and spend time in the bush learning from you. I think this is a brilliant video. So educational. cheers P P and Hau
I want to say thank you for your amazing videos. I’m binge watching them! Absolutely fascinating. Love the “how to do it” and the way to approach researching with methods etc. always interesting to watch someone dig a nugget out of the ground but the how to do it 101 knowledge is the true gold. Love the way you respect the environment and wildlife as well. Really love those bonus segments. Thanks again. P.
Hi PC, many thanks for your Comment, and insight! Yes M8, I get bored seeing people did .1/grammers, worse is seeing trash getting found! Guess that's what you get with those that don't look for their own gold. Ok, sure, when a new machine comes out, it's wise to use it to get the bits others/yourself couldn't hear ... I could of/should of made a career out of doing just that (like a new machine comes out what, every 2-3 years?), going back to my old patches ... But I have to say, I get depressed when I go back to areas that I've hammered ... Give new country on a lovely winter's morn, I feel alive! Ok OK ... Enough ranting ... Cheerio, P101 ...
Thank goodness you documented all of these finds, fascinating videos
Can't get enough of your videos mate...thanks again for sharing 👍
re watching your videos again! i just see the adventure brewing
Just love following your amazing journey
That was awesome to watch

Great vid, looking forward to seeing a lot more of that beautiful color.
Thanks 👍
Hard work pays off again, sounds like you've had a great adventure chasing the elusive shiny, you earned it all👌👍🇦🇺
I am watching these in the order you posted them. So entertaining and interesting, well done!!
Hi Motor-Man, many thanks for your support! That's the way to watch my videos, some refer to others so you need to have all the clues ;-) Cheers M8
Amazing!! Your a truely successful prospector. I can only dream of these adventures. Thanks for your videos
Great video. Thanks
This is as close to true old timers work with a modern twist best prospecting channel on you tube so glad I found you guys keep posting the great content 👍🏻
G'Day Cuts, many thanks for your kind words. Please keep watching as I have some very good discoveries to show you. Cheers ...
Good stuff got to love it
Wow that is awesome absolutely awesome work.
To study and find it hard work but very possible. Love to be cleaning up behind you. Keep the videos coming great to see this 👍
Love your work
Awesome work 😁 love the insight, it's what I think most Prospector's dream of, and you're there doing it. Enjoying the geology lesson too 👌
Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next lot.
Thanks! Will do!
As a an ex Kalgoorlie hard rock miner I appreciate the manual effort you have put in. Great job on the mining AND the videos. Keep them coming!!!
Hi Peter, thanks for viewing. Wow, I wish I knew what you know! I do like to see the blue sky, but it's kinda like diving huh? You get that warm and fuzzy underground, in your own world. Cheer ....
That’s a good recovery nice colour
Stumbled upon your vids, love to see how you lads do it down under! Best regards from Canada
Thanks for watching!
great time out fam. keep on the hunt fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Awesome video.
Love the good ol treasure maps the hunt never gets old
Hi ZZZZ, thanks for your comment. Yea, who doesn't like a treasure map ? There are still guys out in the Central Desert looking for Lasseter's Find, scrutinizing his diary and mud maps. I was going for a look in the 80s but turned around at the Linger and Die water hole! Cheers ...
Ha ! Workin' the dream
Waiting for the weather here in Eastern Washington , U.S.A.
Going for a production year ... April thru October ... Keep my mind off politics too much
Good luck to you in your Season
Find a rich one
Best of luck in your endeavours Frank! Yes Mate, nothing like sitting around a big fire after a great day in the bush ... The rest of the world just melts away and out of your brain ... Cheers ...
This , i think was one of the best and most informative vids i've seen so far , especially because it's in my home country of Australia and it's WA , which fascinates me , especially the Geology of it all . i just subbed and will definitely be seeking out the rest of your vids . cheers Ned .👍✌✅
Mnay thanks Ned, I hope you get some insight into working new country ... Just pick a spot and start looking at the old reports that the Mines Department offer to the public. Also, keep an eye on Company reports to the ASX. Cheerio ...
Great videos, I hope you have plenty more coming .
I’m still chasing that reef I can actually peg for myself.
Hi Scott, you have the right attitude Mate, never give up. If it has your name on it, you'll bag it. Cheers ...
An awesome video and your sharing your experience with us. Thank you from Surrey British Columbia Canada. A lot of hard work with some good results. Looking forward to you video of Pink Parrot Mountain gold
Hello
Hi Dennis, thank you for your kind words. The hardest part of this CZcams deal is learning the video editing software. I'll probably be an expert right when I run out of material hehehee. Cheers M8 ....
Good job
Thanks Dean ;-)
Holy Crapzillah! You are living the dream partner! 💥
top stuff mate
Awesome
So refreshing to watch a true Prospector in action someone that's not making video to sell equipment for the suppliers and claims to know everything there is to know about prospecting even though they have only been doing it for 1 or 2 years it seems that the more followers they have the more.they believe they know.
Cheers for your content 👍
Hi Craig, many thanks for your kind words. I know right, it's a funny world, this prospecting. The quiet guy in the pub with raggy clothes might have a big nug in his pouch. I've seen dreams lost because of the inability to keep mum. The ole saying is "If you can't keep your own secret, how can others do so". I'll talk some more about this a bit later on my "Elephant" story. Cheers M8
Wow what a lucky man to have lived this life! I'm sure there was hardship along the way but man this is so cool I watch every one of your videos. I did see someone else comment once about you should do voice over instead of the floating text but I still like that style as well and will keep watching either way. Thanks for sharing!
Hi 420, many thanks for watching and commenting. I'm trying to get better at the floating text, next time I'll stick it on a static photo. Otherwise will have to advise to take a dramamine pill cuz you'll be dizzy! Best of luck. Cheers ........
WAY TO GO MATE! CHEERS"
Great job! Glad I found your channel. Working on some hardrock stuff here in the USA. Should have some videos soon, hope they are as cool as yours! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Hi AUA, hey cool name! I'll have a squizz at your work. Best of luck ;-)
Homework?
That's more like summer school!
Well done and I can't wait to see this parrot you found.
Why do I think of Monty Python sketchs when I say that?
AWESOME" dream-mat???
I love it,so interesting for a guy living completely goldless south east England!
But the flies mate...the damned relentless god damn FLIES!!!!!😱
Hi Mark, cheers for your comment. The flies ... well ... they keep the competition at bay, other hungry dogs! Actually the worst part of the day is when you open your truck door first thing in the morning and a fly comes and sticks to your face! I mean, at least let me have my coffee first! Seriously, a fly net is the saving grace, I have a box of them. Cheers ...
@@prospecting101 😂 I hear you on the fly nets mate,have yet to hear a decent explanation as to why there are so many flies in the bush 🤷♂️ either way I’m really enjoying the vids 👏👍
All the best and hope you hit the mother load!!!
hi cobber,you must have one of the best gold sniffing nose going ., i rate your one of the best out there enjoying and creating for all to see ,thanks for the great vids cobwebs an all ,trully wish i could get out there ,
Hi RB, thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it. The thing is ... Once you get on a 'new strike' of gold, ie ... gold is usually found on a north-southish direction over a few kilometres ... when you find such a beast, you start finding gold everywhere 'on strike'. Just look at the big maps of all the known gold occurrences and you get an idea of where to work, on one of these 'strikes'. Cheers ....
The Gold is great but I'm more impressed with the ingenuity and homemade gadgets involved.
Thanks OB, really appreciate your input. You know, I stuck with the Keene sluice, why invent the round rubber thing that rolls well? Cheers ...
Great video again mate,,like you said, you must do your, homework first then results will follow, keep up the great work and thanks again regards David wa
Hi David, thanks again for your input. So true, "results will follow" ... You know, I really feel like I've struck gold sometimes when I see an old report and there's info about a high geochem result or such. It's very satisfying to put together all the gleaned data of 4-5 months work and plot on one map. Then to go bush and find something off the hard work just proves the point of what you've said. Cheers ...
A lot of gold in Australia I've always wanted to go there 💯💯💯
Hi JB, this is where it's at! Big gold, nothing to hurt you 😁
Love the videos, so much information about how it is all done. How many years would you say you prospected for
Hi Lachy ... thanks for your query. Uh ... coming up to four decades. Still feels like the first time, that first detect for the new season. You know, fishermen say it's the same feeling. Cheers ...
I wish we had gold like this in ca
G'Day 59Fine ... Is that Canada? I saw a vid last week where the guys were pulling big slugs out of their sluice ... Cheers M8 ...
its damn interesting watching you find that gold do you lease out the area where your prospecting? I hope you haven't had too many run ins with gold thieves
Hi Nick, many thanks for your comments. Yes, always have the tenure to the ground when you're on gold. And luckily not too many thieves about, they seem to hang around the bush towns and follow out the day-trippers. Cheers ....
I was going to say why you havnt used the Boom Sticks yet but you did finally
Did you need an explosives licence ? Pink Parrot cant wait 👍
Hi Fruits, thanks for watching. Yea, you need a license and heaps of security checks. The renewal classes are painful and expensive too. Then the fracture is pricey, I've worked out it costs about $11 a stick to pop. Cheers ...
Mate , you found some incredible lots of gold in your adventures , just wondering did you ever leave some for us everyday Aussies lol!
Hi HotRod, Thanks for your comment. M8, I'm just finding what you chaps missed! heheheheee Cheers ...
@@prospecting101 lmfao
Just like to ask if I can come out with you as my gold hunting has all been done on the North East coast.
I have only done rivers ect and never detected.
Just want to learn more about gold hunting in Western Australia.
Hi Brian, thanks for commenting. There are chaps that offer tag-along trips, that's the best way to get your feet wet. I go deep deep in the bush where the wildlife even get lost! Cheers ....
Well done and love the ingenuity but what is with all the flies??
Hi Amb, thanks for your comment. I'll slide a section into my next video on flies! Good idea. They are bloody annoying, to say the least. Cheers ...
Amazing work, I've always been interested to have a go only for fun though. Do you have any suggestions for me and my pal's to go and have a little fun?? I'm glad that I was in the 200s subscribers, can only boast when you have a million. Cheers Rob
Hi Rob, many thanks for your interest in my work. Can I ask, where are you? Is there gold nearby? In dem hills, or rivers ? Cheers ...
Mate we're from WA and thankyou for taking the time to reply, much appreciated 👍
Well all I can say is this walk away reef is that someone else did their study and walked away with pretty much all the gold, those holes you dug at the very least, you could have started digging for opals cause they were deep enough and the gold you found wasn’t enough to cover your cost
Hi again Sniper, yea it's a tough game, I hope you're not an accountant because prospecting is usually a losing game. Cheers ...
lmao, easy water = thunderstorm
You should get a voice modulator so we don’t have to read the story. Can hear ur voice kinda. But looks like u slammed it hard this season. Congrats on ur finds. Hope the next mine is as good as walk away.
Hi Tom ... thanks for the tip ... I'll look into that ... I tried one voice app but sounded like a zombie (Might be a good thing these days!) hehehehee Cheers M8 ...
Could you weigh the gold at the end of each video? I always find that interesting to see.
Hi MM, many thanks for your comment. The thing is ... Is that these videos were taken quite a while ago . Sorry I didn't show what I found. Hope you've seen The Elephant Tale! Plenty of shiny stuff to see there. Cheers M8
i have enjoyed every minute of all of your videos, my name is bob from hawaii ,let me know if you need some help and ill be ther asap
Hi Bob, thanks for your comments. Well your timing is perfect as we've been locked-down for 700++ days, nobody in, or out. There are some prospectors on the east coast that have been frothing at the mouth to get back to WA. Cheers ...
I imagine you would know for sure if your car was hit by lightening because it would short everything electrical in the vehicle...unless you have fitted a EMP shielding device and you would know then coz it would have a blown fuse or most likely be cooked.
Not always, my 1980's Chevrolet Chevette was struck one time outside of Ottawa, Ontario Canada and everyone said it hit me, it blinded me for a minute and I pulled over and thats when people came up and asked if I was alright, they said they saw the lightening hit my car, I drove away after a bit of sitting and shaking...
@@prospectingron2.013 I knew you were Canadian. You sound just like my mate from Kingston Ontario.
Ian from the United Kingdom
I'm happy for you mate, research and doing your homework always pays off all the best.
Hi Ian ... Thanks for your kudos. Hey, I've seen some spectacular finds recently in our bible (Australian Gem and Treasure) about treasure found in Britain ... Loads of gold coins etc. I might come over M8 !!!
😁👋👍👏💕🙏
Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada, Another Great Upload! I saved it the first time you uploaded it, when I went back to watch it, it was GONE, I almost PANICKED !
It just showed back up, WHEW, I hate miss these awesome videos, THANK YOU !! lol
Hi Ron, thanks for your continuous following, I appreciate it. SORRY! I upload this vid the first time and some bits got lost in the upload. So I had to "delete forever" and try again. Some of you left comments, so sorry I lost them. Cheers ...
You could let us know the amount of gold or about the lack of it.
Hi David, many thanks for your comment. Yes, to be honest I don't remember most totals ... The Sunbaker would be less than 10 ounces. I'm spilling the beans on The Elephant though, keep tuned! Cheers M8 ....
So how to you pull out your jack hammer on the first day on this reef with no permits or mining rights? That is illegal.
Hi GV, many thanks for your comment. I appreciate you pointing this out, it is illegal to use machinery on a lease ... unless it's your own, or you have contractual rights with the mining company. I had the second option: I find gold, give them 10%, show them where, and write an expense report to help with their Mines Dept commitment. A win-win ! Cheers M8
I too have leases and agreements with mining companies thats why I know how difficult it is. Might be a good idea to point out to people in some vids that even with permission from a mining company that you can't just jackhammer, blast etc where you like. Each location, method and amount of soil moved etc has to be approved by the mines dept first. Otherwise people might start doing this everywhere. Just a thought. Some very good stone in your vids and good work finding them.
Paused the vid the second I saw the jackhammer to search the comments for this. Glad I found it with some backstory. Would be nice if it were in the vid.
im honest and hard working you can blind me ,no problem
Yea well I call bullshit creating new videos for more view who the heck walks away from awesome gold to chase a new pipe dream classic click bait if u ask me
Hi BiilyJ, thanks for viewing, sorry you have your doubts. I can understand how you feel, but truthfully, I'm not a hard rock miner. The quartz dust scares me, it gets into everything. But more importantly, I like the thrill of the chase. BUT ... digging a hole is good because you know exactly where the gold is. Oh, and also ... I didn't want to have a 15 minute video of me digging a 2 gram nugget. I have to condense all my years of prospecting into a watchable format. Hope you cross-over heheheheheee.Cheers ...
Great Video!
