Hi, New to your channel, watch a few of your latest vids and then thought I better watch from the beginning... glad I did. You certainly have a knack for finding gold, just wondering why you pushed all that soil but didn't process it through a shaker/ dry blower. Did you just detect the ground once the Dozer made a pass or two. You found gold at different depths, in different locations and a quartz reef which I was also scratching my head as to why it wasn't dug up although you probably need a rock breaker for it but you did say it was soft. Sorry mate just feel like I'm missing something here, how long was the quartz reef and was all this done quite some time ago.

@prospecting101 Год назад
G'Day Cap'n ... Thanks for your Comment, sorry so slow in replying ... Now when I'm pushing dirt in search of deep nuggets, I always dish the soil and sample as I go. Also crush any reefs that I encounter. That quartz reef was rotten, it was vertical, I chased it for 10 feet ... And it cut out, I drilled it with a hand drill and didn't get another colour ... Oh yea and I got a D8 in there, didn't see any more quartz, that talc schist is very slippery! It might be deeper, but we're drilling ATM, that's really the only way to test-at-depth ... BTW the reef was about 6 feet long. There are lots of 6-10 foot holes in the bush, these things seem to cut-out at depth ... Cheers Mate ...

@@prospecting101 Thanks for the reply mate, as I watched more of your vids. I started getting a clearer picture of your process, hope I didn't come off as being rude or some sort of know it all, just curious that's all. My younger brother use to drill for the mines up north, hot dry work but fascinating at the same time. Cheers mate here's hoping the test drilling gives you a clearer picture as to what's going on at depth and are you a geologist by any chance just sounds like you've been in the game for a while.

FYI. Those fans aren’t super powerful and if he did it right that kid had to spend at least 2 hours blowing air through the filters to clean them out good unless the company just bought new ones that was very fortunate for you that he pushed it flat for you and crazy that there wasn’t much more gold. Did the quartz vein disappear at 3 meters? I probably would have set an excavator on that hole and dug down 7 meters to see if it kept going if it didn’t disappear great adventure for sure may I ask what year this was? Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻

@prospecting101 2 года назад
Hello Great-48, thanks for your comments. The company that 'fixed' the dozing for me had a dedicated team of mechanics to service the gear. The Elephant Reef was still going at 8 feet, but sterile. It needs to be tested at depth, I did get it dug out another metre or so but got no more colours in the dish. It's a fickle game! Cheers M8
