Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws đ www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t... - ZĂĄbava
Good to see you chaps working together. Keep telling you though, those are not simply cracks, but rather joints in the geological sense, having formed during deep burial, heating and deformation of the rocks early during their genesis as fracture networks. Exploited by exhumation, erosion, elastic/chemical expansion and roots alike they become "cracks", near surface. Joints generally come in sets of three, more or less at right angles. Look for the sub-horizontal basal joints abutting the perpendicular vertical ones. They always carry, at an intersection. Hope this is helpful and does not sound too pedantic. Great vid! Best all.
That is valuable knowledge! Thank you.
đđ
That's a wealth of knowledge, thanks.. đ
It's been said here before, but I have to say it again,, so refreshing to see both you and Andrew together down the creek. I haven't put a pan in the water yet because I thought I might spend some time ( whats been 12 months so far) educating myself,, looking for layers n lines, watching creeks and rivers(while fishing) ect.You 2 blokes are the most down to earth, no bullshit teachers bar none. The way you guys freely explain every detail to us amateurs,,,,well I for one, am extremely thankful.
Blek Andrew from Queensland
Cue the beauty and the beast comments.
Very informative without being condescending. At the same time, enough comedy to make a guy laugh.
Andrew is a funny guy.
My main aim with this is not just to educate the people who don't know this stuff but to give another perspective to the people who do know this stuff.
Sometimes that's what switches on a lightbulb for people.
Bloody awesome. You blokes are doing amazing things, gold is gold but something that is more valuable than gold is out having fun.
Fun first, gold second
This video is like Santa and the Easter Bunny joining forces - loved it!
Now look what you've started! We have pans of water everywhere (don't know which one you'll spawn in) and since it would be AMAZING to have Chris and Andrew out to the West Coast of the States, we've modified the chant to Vo-Gus Gold, Vo-Gus Gold, Vo-Gus Gold. We're working on getting more viewers involved in this project since it a far stretch from here to there and we'll need volume amplification.
I can feel my soul getting dragged away.....
@@VoGusProspecting Nay nay, you put your heart and soul into family and friends, causes you believe in and this channel we love! However, if after watching Gary Two Toes latest video you feel lured out this way, pack into Andrew Adventure Gold's gear whatever you have left of yourself and come have an Adventure Northern California style!
It is seriously great that you are meeting up with all the other prospecting channels. Why compete when you can combine
YOU GUYS TOGETHER ARE A BOMB!! THANKS FELLAS.
Now if we could just blow up lol
:-D @@VoGusProspecting
One more thing.. you're the one that gave me the idea of the LifeStraw bottle, instead of carrying bottle of water with you.. Super cool idea.. Thank You for that bit of info..
Good seeing you and Andrew together !!!
it was a great trip mate
Hope to see more !!!!
my favoured prospectors in one video clip , Andrew and Chris ,it can't get any better ,cheers
Thanks mate, hope the golds been kind to you
Two of my favourite you tubers together......... itâs a good day my Brothers!
Glad I could make your day better
Lmao đđ€ ol mate walking by with the bog roll ... Most underrated item to have out bush
That's a GREAT scraper, love that long reach.đđ
Its a good tool
It looks impressive, like it will wedge into the right spot.
Thank you so much I was without a hobby for a long time and now I think I found my hobby
You just earned another subscriber for this video
Haha! 2:10!! Love it!
Mate I am so grateful for the quality of your videos, from the informative, to the creative, from the quality of each ones content, to your editing, and of course for the entertainment. Thanks man. I ran into a guy the other day while looking for rocks in the creek, he was looking for gold, and we started chatting, I mentioned you and he was all over it, even started talking about how cool grizzly is! Just thought Iâd let you know bro, helpin mineral people connect đđđ
Love hearing story's like this. It happens to Michael too getting recognized now
best video yet, can't wait till the next one
I quite liked making this one
Finally found this video.One thing an old timer like me can suggest to you is, keep your bog roll dry, how! get a used honey bucket with a snap on lid .It can be any sort of plastic container with a lid, but for me the honey bucket with a handle works, lightweight and waterproof.
That is the most Australian looking man I have ever seen.
Subscribed.
Great video and its true persistence pays off in the end. Can't wait for next Friday.
Great collaboration with Adventure Gold next to you he is my favorite.
Headin to yours neck of the woods today with the kids . Hopefully we'll have some luck
Hope you have al the luck!
@@VoGusProspecting thanks mate not sure where exactly we'll hit probs somewhere between beech and yacks
I appreciate all your videos Chris and I learn new things from every video of yours no matter if its one of your new ones or old ones. I've even watched some of them twice just to make sure I understood what you where talking about. I my self have ptsd from a horrific automobile accident I was in 4 years ago and have been dealing with on my own until I got into panning gold this last year thanks to your videos.
Gold prospecting is not a cure but it sure helps on the bad days to keep your head up. Thanks for watching
Hi Jason, PTSD is a real bitch to learn to live with and overcome. It's good to hear your getting out panning and not simply "locked away" inside your house too scared to go outside, fresh air mixed with sunshine and physical activity is only one thing that will help you to overcome your fears. Careful controlled exposure to the things that cause you the most panic will, over time, help you to either control your stress or to overcome it. Don't try to be "tough" by bottling things up inside you and not talking about it as this can only make it worse.
Good luck on your recovery and I hope your prospecting rewards you in more ways than one.
Chris, thank you for the start of this new series. I'm really looking forward to learning from your videos and building my knowledge base from these and actual hands on practice. For those who are on restrictive budgets, what your discussing and showing helps out heaps !
Having other well known and seasoned prospectors along to also add their knowledge is a great benefit. Thanks again !
Those new shoes from ALEADER FOOTWEAR look like they would also be perfect for beach fishing, rock pool exploring and most likely also canoeing or other boat type outings.
Waited for morning and coffee to watch this one, glad I did,
Obviously your teaching your apprentice well, uhh huh.Keep him around.LOL.
I'm a novice at prospecting, getting better at visual analysis of water flow and deposit's.
Always appreciate the knowledge.
Than I you gentleman.
The next video is for you if you're learning about gold deposits from water
Mick, Andrew and Chris.. Thanks fella's for this top video. Awesome information and implementation. Cheers for sharing.
cheers man
great to see you together. You guys are so helpful. Will let you know if I find anything here.
Number 2 most important tool is â bog rollâ . As always great vid and nice change to see Andrew with both his hands free. I was beginning to wonder if one of his arms was a built in selfie stick !
His arm is exactly that!
Great episode. It is so nice to see my two favorite CZcams prospectors out on the creek together.
Loved the colaberation with Two of my fav gold blogger's, Good Show guy's
I love you guys!! The only two youtubers I watch to learn!! LOVE YOU TWO
Always a pleasure to kick back and watch these vids plenty of good info Cheer's
What a way to start your second season. The basics, we all need to be refreshed or reminded what gold prospecting about. Great video and thanks to all. Nice bit of gold too.
Sometimes its important to look back at what thr fundamentals are
It is so wonderful to see two of my favorite prospecting "gurus" working together! I definitely look forward to seeing this season of your channel. Cheers from the Puget Sound area of western Washington state.
Canny bog roll holder Andrew! Can't believe you call it bog roll toođđ
Fantastic Vid Chris, great to see Andrew with you as well. You guys together are a super wealth of knowledge. !! Thanks so much for the education and to see the friendships forming. xx
We hardly even talked gold off camera, all the other life stuff
Awsome! My favorite episode. Absolutely loved seeing you guys working the creek together. Legends, and thanks đ
I quite like this one too
Great video Chris. Loved seeing you both together. Thanksđ
Thank you Colleen
A Die bar is good as well because it has a leverage point that allows you to place it in a crack and roll it back to pull stuck items out of cracks,and they come in varying sizes.
Ok Chris, you've truly out-done yourself this vid! Absolutely the best and am so looking for to your next installment.
Cheers mate
Your videos give me some sort of light in these dark winters of the Yukon. Keep up with the great videos!
Glad you liked it
Great videos. You keep it interesting, informative and entertaining.
Nice day to be out an about ! Good to see you team up with the other ol crusties. Keep ya finger in them cracks !
I really appreciate this post. I'm just starting...
Awesome season two, Episode one đ great video Chris. Lots of great information and tips on tools. Very useful to know. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I dig your music selection too. Peace â
The next video will be about applying the pan and basic tools to the creek, this was just a show how what's possible.
love the guy with the roll
Great to see you guys doing a video together,my 2 favourite channels..Awesome video and great advice,persistence is definitely the key to finding good gold.
Has been long over due
This video is old and good. Watching Andrew walk past with the shovel and bogroll!!đđđđ.
Feel like I'm in school with my best teachers! From here in Texas, good to see both of you together.
Great stuff!! Thank you Andrew, and Chris, you make it look easy!
Love the T Paper very important too! Lol.
So im a cool teacher?
@@VoGusProspecting Yes you are!! I just ordered an Action Camera so I can start sharing my prospecting adventures.I would love to share what I see and do with my friends. Not to make money just to let other people see what I see. So many people need to get up and get moving. Lots to see out there.
Fantastic to see you pair working together, and Mick too
Whatever you do, don't disturb Andrew from a deep sleep! He might wake up swinging that crowbar he's snoozing with!!
The bog roll is an essential, especially in the Aussie summer, not much soft then đ”
Observations first, persistence essential, yes, screwdrivers do work well but should always carry a snakebite kit/bandage in your backpack, especially in Australia.
A couple of great Aussie blokes, working together and having a laugh, well done guys đđŠđŠđșđŠđ
I really am contemplating on emigrating to a place with gold in the ground. Chris, Andrew and Mick it was a wonderful show. Thank you so much.
Thanks for being here Rufus
Thank you very much for your advises, both of you. I appreciate your effort and i enjoy your passion. Thanks again.
No problems, is my pleasure
Cool video. What a great team! Looking forward to next week's video
Me too, can't wait to film it
Thanks mate, this was a really helpful video.
as he walks by his "bog roll" hangin on shovel... lol nice vid. thanks for the share fellas. always enjoy both ya shares, take care and happy hunting from canada :)
thanks mate good show again
Oh the shovel and the bog roll bahahahaha cheeky bugger
Sound very exciting! Cant wait!

@@VoGusProspecting
Turned out brilliant and very educational!
Thanks for your effort making the videos dude!
Great vid fellas, hope you get together and so some more!
What a great watch! I enjoyed seeing you guys on the same video Thanks Chris : D
Cheers man
Love your intro! Very clever!
Nice video learn more and more to prospecting from your videos next summer I going to try in some small rivers. Here in Sweden we have snow and ice on the lakes in April the spring coming. đđœ
all good can not wait to get back to the new spot i've opened up tin the size of led shot gold and gems in it
Sounds exciting man
Looking forward to watching, sadly I wont have time until this evening!
Itll be waiting
@@VoGusProspecting Loved it mate, educating people to how easily accessible the hobby is, no need for $1k - $3 investment to find gold, would love to see you pan in a wok!
Hey vo-gus, thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities, I'm going to spend the winter educating myself and head out this spring to get to work đșđž
Hope you find heaps mate
Any videos I should watch specifically?
Not really mate, diversify
That was mega awesome! Once I get Facebook downloaded on my new phone in a bit mate Iâll messenger you. Another super great upload with adventure gold!
Great advice.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Cheers Tony.đđ€đșđșâ
Glad to see you in another video. Hope you are doing well. I watched the video where you explained some of the problems you were having while doing that video and would like you to know that if you are experiencing episodes that it is okay to share that with us. We all have things that sometimes we need to share . I think all of us who have subscribed to your channel feel like we are there with you ,and are very supportive . If ever you need to talk , Don't hesitate. We are here not only to watch you chase Gold . I enjoy just watching you get out there and enjoying your day, but would be more than willing to just listen to you if you are needing someone to talk to. Granted I'm on the other side of the planet ,but I feel God gave us two ears for a reason. I just wanted you to know that.
Thank you for the kind words David
Yet another great video. Love the work and effort put in to get people interested in this great hobby. Just one thing I wold like to say is that when breaking rock above the water line please, please , please keep the sunglasses on. Or even better take a pair of safety glasses with you, The shards of rock that can go flying around are nasty...found that out the hard way...
Well done Guys And good vidio much enjoyed
Hat down lads, thank you for the video.
No problems mate!
So nice to hear you say we don't need a freekin $120 pan to find gold :)
Thanks chris I'm really tired of of supporting some channels that you have to play games to win stuff I'm dropping out of a couple channels because of just that. You actually show us how to get gold without all these games we have to play. You show us how to find our own gold.
best vid . Very informative...thanks
Your welcome
đđwell done!
you nailed it 100%
Thanks man, hope it helped
Top Stuff great vid guys
Cheers Bro
Iâm just starting out. (Literally was just given a gold pan set as a gift). I havenât even gotten them dirty yet. Iâm in Alaska so I hope to find gold that was missed. Iâll let you know how things work out over the summer!
Great video mate đŸđđŸ
Always watching
Vo-Gus Prospecting Always mate always
Nicely Done! Fun people, good at something, working together to teach... ...and not taking themselves too seriously either! It's a rare and generous combination. Thank You!
If you haven't seen them, you might look into getting a pointed chisel too... ...not sure what they're called 'Down Under,' but they're called a "gad point chisel" in the US. Estwing makes a cantilevered pry-bar with one (18" long and forged as one piece)... ...they're amazing at the junction of cracks, and at starting them... ...Two Toes (youtube) has one ("good ole GP-18"), and he gets great use out of it on that California bedrock... ...Pretty good with crevices too; I love mine!
Great video, looking forwards to the rest of the season!
Theres a few great breaker bars on the market at the moment, luckily we're spolt for choice
Aussie prospectors! Rock
no pun intended lol
Bravo !
Thanks bro
Dang, I'm about to leave for work. Back at 1am PST... Will have to watch then... :)
At least you have a show to come back to
Nice job to Aleader for supporting you. Helping good people helps get good customers.
I was surprised they contacted me at all.
Way to go đđ
Zorro with a shovel!!!
Lol
Best way I could think to get the point across, pun intended
Actually I really need some water shoes for beach detecting.
Will order a pair.
100% would be great for that
If you ever come to the East Coast of Virginia then look me up and I can so you some areas around where I live... You could even camp out here..
Y'all are Sooooooooooo funny.. Lol.. Love it.. But you're so right, sometimes I wish I could go back in time and not buy a ton of stuff..
Found it! âđ»
You did well haha I knew i made it but not which one!
true words i have a lot of home made gear works good
Gear is less important than know how
@@VoGusProspecting true mate i need more know how lol
I'm watching your show and I'm running -100 mesh over a black magic mini pro miller table.
I've got to get me one of those one day
There seems to be gold absolutely everywhere
Great video and great concepts. Have you got or made an adapter for the yavi pump? Something that will neck down to like 3/4 or 1/2 inch, to reach down into the smaller cracks? Just thinking out loud. Have a great day!
I have been using a posthole shovel & am curious as to why you recommend a round nosed shovel instead, please. Enjoying your videos & the knowledge you so freely share, thanks.
Because when you start working in proper gravels like hard pack a pointy shovel will find gaps and cracks to work in to, a flat one one. It'd much easier digging
Thanks Chris.
Hahahaha funny lads
Great new vid Chris and Andrew
I do think I know Mick if u can ask him does he know me Crouch
Any way nice looking creek too and yes specific tools in certain areas is the crack
In our place you must throw all normal thinking aside and look in a different place
Itâs just way to deep and sandy gravel
It could be ten foot deep behind a rock
So we must look in crevices with packed rock
Not the norm in this river
I dug down one for an hour still had the same sized hole I started with lol
Crouch
I love sluicing sand, I hate trying to dig deep holes in it.
Aloha from Hawaii Chrisđ€đŒ
G'day
Great video as always mate. What are your thoughts on the turbo pans?
Hate them, normal pans way easier and just as quick
Yeah I got 1 they do the job and keep very fine gold but can be a pain in the ass also ... so I usually just use a normal pan in the end
Thankyou for all your advice. Q: are hexagonal pans available anywhere. I see many benefits to use that
