Being Bitten by Australia's Most Aggressive Ant for Gold 

I posted before I scrolled down to your reply. 😄 I was only just this afternoon reading about a school in WA teaching about bush medicine and they mentioned that bracken fern is used for insect bites.

Already have. You'll see

Yeah he is weird hey 😀

@@buckshotprospector 😂 it was a compliment! Could have said psychedelic, or different, just went with weird. 😂 you’re super talented bro, I didn’t expect that when I looked into you a little.

@@jimmylarge1148 weird is good it's better than normal. Thanks Jimmy yeah I painted my whole life until I got addicted to prospecting

@@buckshotprospector different is good that’s for sure. I feel ya on the prospecting 😂 I’m addicted to it as well thanks to you two and a cpl others. I’m in Michigan USA and there’s barely any gold to even find yet here I am still shoveling and hauling buckets full of dirt and rocks around 😂

@@jimmylarge1148 I think it's the whole process of going out exploring and being in nature gives you peace of mind that is the addictive element to it find gold is just a bonus

Be the change u want to see. Every day u work is? Pay day.

I just took my sluice apart and cleaned it out properly and found even bigger nuggets haha omg

Those fire ants have got into Australia, and are ravaging parts of South East Queensland. Various levels of government are trying to stop it spreading further. They found a colony near the container terminal in Sydney, but managed to kill that. I hope those things are eradicated, because it would profoundly effup our way of life, and wipe out a lot of native animals that are already threatened. 😬

@madcatjo Sorry to hear that. The fire ant got into the south US and spread quickly and sounds like are there to stay. While stationed in N.C. in the late 1970's, I got stationed at a little place in the woods with about a dozen fellow Marines, about 20 miles from anything but woods. Alot of wildlife, like deer and black bears, lizards, snakes, etc. One day one of us had been out mowing the acre or two of grass around the building we sleep in, and had an office in. He said "We're going to war, we've got fire ants" and we got a camp fire set up, a metal bucket of water and began pouring boiling water into about 20 or so, about 8 inch high fire ant hills and a every few week for that whole summer we would find a half dozen new hills or some that we must've missed getting their queen and recovered. After my 8 months there, we did cut their numbers, but new ones were still being found. The boiling water worked fairly well, but if we had added a few drops of dish soap befor pouring, I think it would've worked better. At least they have their hills that make it easier to find their nests, unlike your bull ants that just have a hole in the ground

Baking soda paste dores a good job on wasps here in CA USA
