Swingin' wit' Willy is my second channel, dedicated to the hunt for history, with my metal detectors around Melbourne and its eastern suburbs. I normal swing over my local area covering public parklands, private permissions (before and or after demolition) and the odd bush trek. All in search for old relics, coins, and occasionally the gold stuffs. So lets get Swingin'!
Need to get a jaw crusher and load up hard rock for later at home, got some nice crystal and gold! Did ya swing the natural sluice box? Gota be some pickers in that sluice
@@Whadaa72 yeah too right mate, pity it's picker/nugget or nothing quartz. All my tests have shown no fine gold which sucks. Certianly did swing over the old sluice no targets that I could hear. Will go back and clean it out properly next time. Thanks for watching mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Thanks for sharing another great adventure Willie. You got some nice gold species this time out and congrats on getting to 1000 subs. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛👏👏👏
@@JosipKolenik cheers mate, yeah I was really happy with the rewards of the weekend away. The time away is good enough, the finds just make even better, like a bonus. Very happy to finally have cracked 1k. Hope to get back out soon. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Nice finds mate... Won't show the wifey your trim as she has been on me to do the same ... Howdy from the Gold Hill mining district of southwestern, Oregon US. Best wishes and all, take care and stay safe... till the next. ⛏⚒⛏ Cheers
@@OGRocker1 cheers mate, agh the old wifey/beard dilemma... just tell her it's your winter coat and you think it's going to be a cold one, so the beard has started preparing 😅 All the best mate, Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@shanesalmo1163 , G'day mate, I wouldn't say that at all. They are all just as good as each other mate. I have just been on the 10x5 for a while now, love the shape, I can tuck it inbetween almost anything. I have been doing OK, but my mate ninja did even better with his 11" round. Though it's not the coil that finds the gold... it's you and your ear! If your struggling to hear targets then slow down or maybe rake an area to see if your missing anything. Hope this helps mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@rodwilson2114 cheers mate, always good to be out bush catching the color. Even better when the weather was as good as it was! Thanks for the support mate, even more for your sub. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
@@SDC_Prospecting bloody oath mate, weather was on my side too which was a bonus. Yeah the whole sub thing is wierd. Had 1k up for a day, got my email this morning then looked back at my channel to notice I lost a sub, so back to 999. No doubt just another bot channel gone. Has been 3 subs gained 2 subs lost for the last year or so. Agh well it's for the love of the game anyway. Cheers for tuning in and your sub. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@cointector yeah it's an interesting spot mate, just across the road from camp. Yeah he's been beating that poor shirt pretty much since I met him. Any gold is good gold. Thanks for watching mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Thar be dragons fighting! 🐉🐉 Dragonfly asleep! Sweet outing, Willy, and congratulations on hitting the 1000 subscribers! Lovely specimen gold, was the Equinox the 800 in one of the gold modes? Good crystal country it seems, that flat cluster looked a hint of mauve and not fully white, and the nice cluster of points had clear tips, the signs of good vugs in the bedrock sluice. Great countryside! Good luck, looking forward already to the next, and cheers! Gabi of Narre Warren.
@@gabivalla6279 bloody oath, got to love being in the right place at the right time. Very possible the dragonfly was getting some shut eye, after all it was the only dry spot for it. I have and will always run with my trusty nox800. It has been a weapon for me. I have found about half of what I have found with the sdc using the no over the same amount of time even though I use the sdc more often looking for gold. But some days I get the urge to use the 800 and come away with the goods. Certianly is good crystal country, have found some pockets in the mines before. Maybe one day I'll find a ripper of a pocket. Yeah when I have my yabbie pump with me next I will give those vugs in the bedrock a once over, so long as there's water. Willbe heading back out this weekend' 🤞 I find a slug... Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@Whadaa72 well I sort of forgot about that. Have to get that out again and get it into the next episode, would have been easier to point out the crystals. Cheers for watching mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Congrats on the shinny! But best part if the prospecting is the metal break from the system. Like the 4b. Can't believe people steal anything if it is not even bolted down, stealing a trash bag what dopey people
@@Whadaa72 oh bloody oath mate, the mental escape is worth more than the gold tbh. Any gold found is just a bonus. Yeah it's a bit rough. Guess that's what happens when you have nice things, the rats get jealous. Soon we will be moving do hopefully we can move to a better area? Cheers for watching mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@ianshugg2681 cheers for watching mate, Good question... I detect at night as there is no point wasting time out there just sinking cans around the fire, i could do that at home. I find its better to swing as much as possible while your still in the goldfields. Never know when you could swing over the big one... Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@Sandman330 very possible mate, though these marbles I find in the bush are all quite old, and no one really goes there unless they are bush walkers or prospectors. Though it's still possible... Cheers for watching mate, Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
G-day mate, howdy from Sasquash country... I thought of that in the last video after you did your Chabaka/Yeti sound ... lol. But yes, I also read the rest of the comments as well, Swingin' on... Best wishes from the States and the mountains of southern Oregon, US. Heavy pans to Ya and great shinny finds for you mate. Take care, stay safe cool and free. ⛏⚒⛏👍🤙👊Cheers mate.
@@OGRocker1 cheers mate, ha ha, well that makes sense lol, acting like a wookie get called a sasquach🤣, doesn't help with the red tinge to the beard lol. Cheers again mate. Hope you find a mad paystreak. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
@@Swingin_wit_Willy 😆😆😜 we have sightings of Sasquarsh near by ... so as soon as I heard what you, down under call a wookie, that was my first thought... Take care, mate...Cheers ! Best wishes from my family and the States... Till the next, Swingin on 👍👊
@@OGRocker1 lol I was meaning wookie from star wars lol, as in chewbacca, which sounds like two-buck-er hence the noise everytime I find a 2 dollar coin. Though we supposedly have big foot here too, but they were called yowies by the aboriginals thousands of years ago... so maybe I should be careful that I'm not making a mating call lol Another ep has been filmed, just need to edit. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate
@@Swingin_wit_Willy No worries, mate, as long as we are in the same ballpark so to speak, lol. It is sometimes very interesting to me as I watch many videos from around the English-speaking world; the slang or meaning can vary greatly, but then that gives it the charm... For example, G-day down under and in England, here in the States we tend to say Hi, Hello or Howdy... "All good", or "it's OK" rather than "No worries" lol. ...As I said being I watch so many, from so many, I tend to mix a lot of them in my speech or writing. ... I do so enjoy the sharing among all. ... Best wishes from the States and my family to you and yours. Have a good day/night may you find much treasure in your outing mate... Till the Next, ... Singing on !!! take care, stay safe, cool and free
Great vid Willy the gold gods were with you seem to be giving me a miss lately however great to see another sdc user out there I love mine found me my biggest piece a specie 14 inches deep 62 grams sg test 48 grams of gold awsome piece of kit keep up the great vids 👍
@@bradhile5031 🤑 now that's a great find mate, I've been on my sdc for 5 years now and not doing all that well. Only found 1oz so far with the sdc, biggest bit is only 3.27g but I'm hoping the big one isn't too far away... what coil were you running for the 14 inch specie? Cheers for watching mate, Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@JustGottaDigIt that's certianly something I didn't think of, and very plausible. Would love to know the reason. Cheers for watching mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@cointector yeah I know right, like seriously? Gotta get out of this area real fast so I don't keep getting shit pinched. Too right mate, let us know when your down next, will see ya there. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
Thanks for sharing another great adventure Willie. Nice collection of gold for the 3 days, but how dig you manage to see those quartz pieces going to call you hawkeye soon😂😂. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
@@JosipKolenik cheers mate, yeah I certianly have a keen eye mate. Always spot things hiding in plain sight. Not sure how I spotted that crystal, it just stuck out to me. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
Roadside cuttings exposing nice dirt, ridgetop roads over quartz reefs, nice gold and crystals, well squeezed in with work, Willy. Good luck when you're next out again, cheers!
@@gabivalla6279 bloody oath, winning is all I can say. Was certianly, a great weekend away before a crazy few days away with work. Was very happy with my efforts and even more so that I managed to find a nice crystal pocket. Hoping to chase the vein and find more just off the road so I can work it properly. Will be out again this weekend for a few days, so I will take that luck thanks. Thanks again for tuning in. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@getdownanddirtyprospecting cherrs mate, sure was. Even better that I manage to come home with some shiny. All the best mate, Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@pkgoldopalhunting it's a hard go mate, you certianly have to be persistant and you definitely have to want it. I finally detected some gold from a creek bed a month or so ago. Usually I only find trash in the creeks but managed to find a patch with 12 bits in the bed of the creek. Problem is it was on the clay layer so you may struggle unless you prep an area to work (hint hint). Hope you manage to swing over one soon mate. We had a newb detect with us one weekend and he hit the creek digging all the trash, came back and said I think I've got something good, drops a specie with a 5g slug in the middle of the quartz... it is out there, just keep swingin mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Thanks for sharing another great video Willy. Nice collection of coins you got. The marbles bring back old memories. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one. Cheers mate 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
@@JosipKolenik cheers mate, appreciate the comment. Definately killed it on the coins, spew there wasn't more pennies. But those marbles made up for it well and truely. Managed to find another 3 the day I posted this episode. One of them is nuts, I did a short on it. Next ep is a gold one... Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
@@VICHISTORY cheers mate, I certianly will be going back, have a look at my short I posted later on the same day as this ep, I managed to find another 3 and one is a beauty. My first of this type. Yeah loving life again. Neck is all fixed and I am pain and pill free, though the old man back still slows me down but that's life ey? Hope all is well with you too. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
Looks like u made it there just before the fencing goes up. Marbles like everywhere kids toys before electronics came along. Silver is rare for you but gold is not. We like gold. Have anymore people throw change at you while they drive by?
@@Whadaa72 the fence is still laying on the ground as we speak, plus the block next door is using this block for access with thier trucks. So should be able to go back a few times. Just hope I can get a hold or the owner of the other block? We have plenty of silver here thankully, just harder to find where it is still there and hasn't been dug up or covered by the council. As for the gold though, that's everywhere, just have to work around the trash. I have another gold ep ready and will be out swingin' for more tomoz so there is more shiny to come. Thankfully that has only happened once. But I also was on a main Rd. Have been hitting back streets and random patches of grass lately. Have exhausted the strip on the main Rd. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
@@DetectaBull cheers mate, gotta love finding a handful of marbles. Dd tou see the short from the same day? I found a real nice one. All the best mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@danielhopley598 thanks mate, I had some myself as a kid but still never seen one until I picked this one up. Do you know what they are called? Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
G-day mate, nice finds... howdy from the Sasquash country in the mountains of southern Oregon, US. Take care and if you find a few extra marbles mate, seems I may have lost a few😄😆👍👊
@@OGRocker1 cheers mate, you didn't happen to read the comment from swing_n_ping before this message did you? If not that's a hell of a coincidence.. 🤪 pretty sure we have all lost atleast a few marbles, others just won't admit it. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Red leprechaun 🤣 nah bro, thats just the spring sasquatch fur coming out 🤣 few nice marbles mate, might need a few more before you get them all back though 🤣 great vid mate, good to see ya mug getting back into some videos. Catch ya soon 🤙🍻
@@Swing_n_Ping_Prospecting 🤣, bugger, you figured out what species I really am 😂 going to need more than a few to get all my marbles back lol. I think I lost them all when I was a kid lol. Bloody oath mate. Feels good to be back. Already have the next ep ready... Catch ya this weekend bro. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@rodwilson2114 agh well they were found in good time then, will hold on to them anyway. Like the collection I'm building. Found an even better one last night on the same block... Hope all is well mate. All the best. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Bloody oath thanks gabi, I've only ever seen one of these marbles on the covers of the marble books. Never seen one in person.. Thanks for watching. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@kaynef6637 cheers heaps, I've seen them plenty of times on marble books on the cover, never seen one in the flesh. They are quite special looking marbles. Cheers for watching. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
@@Sandman330 😂 yeah, knew you would be all over this ep, you should check out my short from yesterday if you haven't already. Found a ripper on the same block Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
Nice finds, Willy. A highlight on marbles would be cool, we'd lost our marbles classification terminology, would your big milk glass one be a fruit salad and cream birdcage tom bowler, for example?! We love how you hit on the tiny patches of grass in im presuming regular suburbs, we'd been surprised which parts of northern St Kilda are listed and which aren't, bits of South Yarra ought be and aren't, bits that are that have no merit or redeveloped to the t*ts. Look at ANA House, Paul Kelly lived next door, across the road, up goes a massive tower, such is Tim Pallas as redevelopment kickbacks minister, oops, planning, my bad, I'll have a beer at the old Greyhound, maybe someone's apartment. C*nts vs c*cks, wot. We're worried the scaffolding was on the 1857 Border Inn, the Berwick Inn today, border to the Port Phillip District btw, the early fireplace, big wooden beams, hate to think what's the result, usually here political corruption gets you a bigger pokies quota. Although the middle of the Gippsland Road the reserve you'd hitch your cart as you went to the pub to water yourself, crowds gathered for evening bands playing off the upper balcony. Such a history you'd have to have a detect there, hey. Cheers, looking forward to the next, and happy swinging. Gabi. Forgot to mention we've exactly the same glass jar your marbles are in, faceted half, smooth label half, This Jar Always Remains The Property Of John Sutherland & Sons Pty Ltd. Hooroo!
@@gabivalla6279 cheers for watching, I will have to buy a marble book so I can identify them all. As for the random spots I detect, you've got to think outside of the box after smashing a suburb for almost 10 years now.. Though it is a pity how much development is happening in my suburb, though it produces alot of detecting opportunities. I generally look at random areas around historical sites if I want old stuff. Even if it's a block away... You just never know where the treasures are hiding. All the best. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Thanks Cynthia, love finding my marbles lol. Glad I stopped at that random nature strip, as I had a craving for some silvers. Hope all is well. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
Cheers Paul, was a great short session. Next weeks ep is back on the Gold, I even found a marble in that ep where I found gold last time we were out camping. Good Luck & Happy Swingin' mate.
Thanks mate, had been a while since I did a coin ep, and what a return. Was glad to have all the luck on the marbles, they are more satisfying to find, being they can't be detected. Cheers for watching mate. Good Luck & Happy Swingin'
