Great info I have been watching your prospecting videos since 2016 and this is the first one I face come across where you can put a face to the voice behind the camera going to give it a go
I still Remember when you first taught me to pan, I was about 10 years old up in brissy when you first got me hooked on gold, the only thing that's changes since then if you have a bloody good beard now.
Cheers Aussie, might make the weekend with the kids a bit more successful and fun. It'll make me look like I know what I'm doing anyway. Love your vids. 🍻
Glad to help out and glad you enjoy the vids. If your kids are anything like mine, they'll spend about 3 minutes panning and the rest of the day catching Yabbies and Tadpoles. Regards Aussie
Awesome work, cobber. I’ve got a pan and sometimes put a shovel load of dirt through it with an old lead weight, just to get practice. I’ll be giving your style a go as it’s completely different to mine. Thank you for the lesson!
Again ABP you just nailed it with your presentation and explanation. Your videos give me the ability have more confidence and build more knowledge to implement. Thank for sharing!
@@AussieBlokeProspector I spent about 6 hours yesterday practicing this method on a creek with fine flood gold....I have always done the side to side action and not focusing on staying under the water line except to pan lighter material out. It worked great and I did in fact have more fine gold than normal and to be honest made the clean out easier because I was able to work out more black sand from the pan. Nice video I'm going to feature this on my channel if you don't mind.
Excellent video. Don't forget to have a quick look at the rocks and larger gravel in the classifier before you throw it away. Too many people miss the occasional nugget too large to fit through the 1/4 inch holes. It happens!
Gday John...wow I love your videos..thank you very much for the great information and educational way you run through things...ive watched several now and have definitely learnt a few things. Armed with good information, my Garrett Detector, my Sluice and my pans, I can't wait to head out to the fields soon and see how I go... thanks again :D
Thank you for showing us your technique mate. I had some idea but that just nails it for me thank you very much. Panning seems a little so way of collecting gold lol. Would be lots of family fun though. I’ve subscribed to your channel as you explain things very well. Cheers cobber.
Great instructional vid there John and extremely well presented. Very much enjoy your educational approach to all your prospecting vids and tips...keep them coming. Cheers Wal.
This video was shot in NSW. For locations in Victoria, you can just about find gold in most creeks within the Golden Triangle mate. Just make sure you are allowed to be there first. All the best. Regards Aussie
Another great instructional video. My question is this. Do you have much black sand such as magnetite and hematite in Australia? We are inundated with black sand where I live, and it makes panning more difficult. It appears that you have a lot easier conditions to deal with than I do in the US, Colorado state. From what I've seen, it appears that you have mostly big gold there and very little black sand. This is just my observations from watching other prospecting videos in Australia. I love your videos by the way. Thanks for taking your time to provide valuable instructional videos such as this.
Love the video mate no excuse now , would you think maybe a couple of small pieces of split shot in the pan would be a good way to practice , the Lady in charge of internal finances said no to the weeding ring. cheers mate.
Can I ask you what state you are in please I am in campbelltown nsw there There are creeks around But I don't think there's any gold bearing creeks With in under One and a 1/2 to 2 hours Drive away I would like to go somewhere close with my wife & kids because I have fu#@ my back do you or anyone know a place that is close if not all good I gring and bear the pain thank you
Thats how my uncle sonny taught me to pan .. do lile a good ebbing ..yes sirree bob .. and whos bob ..and did he find any gold ..😁pip pips and carryon pilgrim
Hi, so nicely taught sir, sir I m from Pakistan, I live in area where lot of minerals are present, iron, clay, bauxite coal , I believe there will be gold in creeks and in mountains I need your help plz.
I appreciate you enthusiasm to learn mate, but first I think you should watch all my videos related to your request..they and many other videos on RU-vid will probably answer many of your questions. Also, I don't mean to be rude, but I literally don't have the time to become your personal prospecting coach. Besides all that, I'm not in the habit off giving out my personal email address on a public forum such as this... I'm sure you can understand. Regards Aussie
It, OK sir. I understand your situation, I will watch all ur videos and will be in touch if I need any advice, so nice you. Your style of prospecting so simple and easy to understand keep on doing this great work. Regards, Mehdi Mustafa.
