Thank you so much for this particular subject. Lots of channels like Jeff Williams and 911mining have shown the smaller veins between mines and I always wondered if a prospector from today would do alright where as it probably wasn’t worth the old timers time. I wonder the same thing about diggers holes. A hill can be riddled with holes, but say only 40% of the hill has actually got holes. Could you dig down in between holes in an area they worked really hard and have it produce? I always wondered why they put a hole where they did and not 1-2 meters in any other direction. You got a whole bunch of new chisels and wedges, maybe dig a new hole and run the material? Great video as always!
Hi Chris, love your videos. I have been watching them for some years now. This is all new too me and I have now taken up gold fossicking since I retired from the Army after serving for 40 years. This is my retirement hobby and I have learnt so much from your videos. Keep up the great work mate. Cheers Dave
Dont ya just love the "chirp" of the gold moster.. nice species guys.. thanx 4 the top notch entertainment, ill never get bored watching your vids Chris.. thanx 😊🇦🇺
Bullitt county Kentucky. I got a Garrett metal detector the at pro gold. I'm having a tough time learning how to use it. Looking forward to mastering it getting in the field. What are the best ones out there
Would be interested in your thoughts on the GM1000 compared to the Equinox 800 and even the older X-Terra 705 for prospecting and coins or relics and what plus minus points each detector has in each situation?
Sure wouldn't mind owning a Minelab Gold Monster 1000 if I could only win one I'd have it sooner.The work super to find the smallest gold left by our miners of yesteryear.Great video David out
I was thinking the same thing. Sort of like when you find a stone tool, like a scraper. You are holding in your hand something that someone long gone and forgotten trusted to carry them through another day of tasks to survive. That's shaking hands with History.
Vo-Gus Prospecting thanks mate, after seeing this vid and realising the monster kicks but over the sdc in certain situations I’m hooked! But some say the equinox is better. I don’t need a treasure machine so I’ll go with the monster !
Another great video Chris. The picture quality is very good. It sure looked like a beautiful area. I wish it would cool off enough here to ware a coat prospecting.
Nice one Chris and Mick and Grizzly and Zach! Some sweet goodies were found, the specimens were nice but those old picks stole the show ; D. Chris look into an account with Parler, I think it is going to be real big, real soon.
Me and grizzly think you are about to find the mother load on that hill , that rich quartz vein is coming we can feel it ! Great vid , grizzly rules , peace ✌️ 💀🌴
Outstanding video! I need a PI machine, have a GM1000 and love it (still learning after a full year of detecting and prospecting) but often get fooled by super mineralized ground, lead, brass and awful amount trash left behind by the old timers. Spent a whole day on a 20’ x 20’ area just digging up trash the GM1000 shows as non ferrous or bounces around between ferrous and non ferrous. Can be super frustrating but must keep the persistence. I did find my first piece of gold and the fever is now firmly engrained. Keep at it sir! I enjoy your videos. Thank you 🙏
We had our first day out metal detecting and gold panning. We didn't find anything, but damn it was good to go bush! Love your channel Chris! Keep going strong mate! You're an inspiration!
Morning Chris, Micks' gourmet chisel collection looks interesting. That one with the arc that looks like it fell out of an ancient Tyrannosaurus Transformer is very similar to one i picked up near Bathurst last year. The little stubby pointed one however, looks a lot like a blacksmiths punch which is held in a pair of tongs. The other one just looks like any old lost cold chisel. Maybe a blacksmiths' was set up with the mine to keep up with the on going demand for tools? Who knows, I found it interesting just the same. Thanks Mick, thanks Chris.
I bet you guys would have a lot of Luck if you ever went on a trip and tried out the superstition mountains!!! That's one of my life's bucket list is to pan and look for gold up in those mountains. As a prospector I'm sure you already know the story about the largest gold find ever to go missing and being lost up there.
@@VoGusProspecting they say 100s of millions lol if anything you know the area up there should have a lot higher chance of finding a fat nug and or vein. Or any other other countless artifacts that could have been lost out there since the 14th century
Chris & Mick well done. My son won a ATX a few years ago and I am yet to find gold with it but is good for detecting championships. Wish I could get back over there but SA / VIC is a no go!
As always you and Mick together makes a great video it's about more than gold these are videos the youngsters need to watch it really shows them to be good to everyone extremely Proud of ya'll friends are so extremely hard to have/find or even allow again proud of you Thumbs Up My Friends
Quality video 🍻. Have you thought about dissolving some of the host rock to expose the gold better and create a beautiful specimen? Species are easier to remember the "find", interesting to look at, draw in a premium price, and once you crush it .....it's "just" gold lol. Now having said that it's whatever floats your boat and...... gets views. Ok now i have to go here......mick is good at finding wedges but can he pick one🙃😁
Excellent video. I've been contemplating getting a gold monster but need to convince the wife it's a need and not a want. I have a Minelabs XT17000 and a Tesoro Lobo Supertrac. Unfortunately they both aren't working very well so I need to look into a new detector. Love your videos! Keep them coming. Greetings from sunny Arizona!
I know people that just throw out the Hot Rocks.. they say they've busted em up for nothing.. but they didnt really crush em good to see if there is any fine gold. No VGold they dump it.. lol looking forward to the hot rock n speci crushin vid!
I really like the previews you have been putting at the end of these last few videos it's definitely enough bait to keep person coming back not that I need the bait I'm watching all your videos thank you vo- Gus prosptecting. Hi grizzly.
I was set to get out this weekend but my GM1000 has not arrived as yet from geelong hopefully soon. Couple question with the GM1000 IT APPEARS to be the smaller coil you use any reason why? Any benefit going to the bigger coil i think is the 8 inch. Third question relates to crushing so i will wait for that. As always awesome information keep it coming learning heapes here.
General rule if thumb is the bigger the coil the deeper it penetrates, but the smaller the coil the more sensitive it is. If your hunting big gold you tend you run big coils, small gold near the surface small coils. In this area they were hunting for a reef breaking the surface and gold lying between nearby reefs so the gold was likely shallow and if they find patches of small gold then they can cover the same area later with a big coil to see if there is anything deeper. Honestly small coils in areas with lots of trash make for a better day. Digging halfway to China for a bit of old scrap steel gets tiresome really quickly.
@@davidhall9679 it can be a good way to spend some time but it's also an easy way to spend a lot of money if you get carried away. I've got many thousands worth of equipment, yet still find using a pan in a stream the thing l enjoy the most. Best of luck, at very least your likely to see some great areas that few people get to.
I found my first gold with the Garrett ATX, a 0.8g piece. The second a week later was 35g. The problem I had with the ATX is that it couldn't find very small gold.
MATE LOVE YA VIDS Have lernt so much,finally got a chance to leg'it from th house and try my skills and yer got me some yella shiny stuff So big thankyou for you efforts and hard work your bloody Legend...
Nice info, will sell some older dectector's to get a ml goldmonsrer 1k. The ATX gets some trash for sure tho I have found nice silver at 3 feet (past the trash) with one. ✌️
hey guy's what trouble with the ATX were you having? i have the large mono coil and have found the very edge of the coil is where the targets are and they are normally allot deeper than you would think i am very impressed with the ATX but it does cause a lot of digging ! so so many hours digging especially on a beach 6ft hole no problems at all . I would love to win the gold monster to make my life easier! love your video's mate
When you scoop up some material and wave it over the metal detector. You pour some into your hand and wave it again if you get a signal you dump what you have in your hand. And repeat what if you have more than one piece in the scooper? 7:50 minutes into vid
This is 100% possible! Normally you can hear double targets before you start scooping. However this is an oversight on my behalf and I'll change it up a bit.
