Life Changing Amount of Gold and Gemstones! 

Have you and the boys been blasting a gold seam up in Mansfield??? I think you may have overdone it!!!

As a veteran and have been around those service dogs watching them work and save lives l commend you for what you are doing. Thank you

G’day mate I don’t want anything to do with the give away I’d rather see some kid win it ! You do so much for other people i congratulate you and your family 👍🇦🇺👍🇦🇺 this is one Aussie who is proud to say I know you mate 👍🇦🇺👍🇦🇺🍻cheers 🍻

The gold miner has taught me lots as well as you Chris Vo-gus. You should be both be proud. Thank you.

Right there at the end it looks like Fern was having fun while you were digging. It's a great thing that you support service dogs thank you. And thank you for taking us all out on another great adventure, I know I'm not the only one I know a lot of us learn To be better prospectors out in the creek finding gold by some of the tips in your videos.

awesome work for our veterans whether USA or Aussie. the worlds ve terans need this service!

It is so nice to see you are still working strong on raising awareness and support for the heath and wellbeing of others.

What you do to support Integra while they also support you is outstanding. So much love from the western US

I have been watching your channel for a couple of years. I am 66 years old now, 3 heart surgeries, 4 blown discs in the back, an autoimmune disorder thats eaten my joints to shreds. My 1975 orange nylon pack is upstairs full of my 2 pans, classifiers, bars, crack tools, snuffer, gold bottles, ancient beef jerky, water bottles and adventure. My Keene sluice is strapped to the outside. I miss the days when i could take off at 5 am and be 5 miles up a creek by full daylight. Packing in 4 gallons of water and panning that "special" spot all day from the little pan into the big pan. I once hiked 3 miles in the worst 2 week rainstorm in 20 years to get to that "special" place when water was running and was rewarded by seeing a 1/4 ounce nugget had washed out up above and had lodged in the bedrock right on the bend of my favorite spot. RIGHT IN PLAIN SIGHT shining like a golden star on a cloudy day through the water. Afraid to disturb the current with my hand i dropped the pack, grabbed my largest forceps and carefully lifted that beautiful golden treasure out of the water. Then i sat down, and stared at it in my hand, the bent and barely worn crystalline structure still had a bit of the gray clay on it from where it had been washed out of a newly formed channel upstream. Best find ever, i don't know how long i sat there looking that nugget over. But eventually realized that i had sat right in a puddle and was soaked. Didnt feel a thing. As a survivor of PTSD and a former US Marine i applaud your efforts to help others with the battle against PTSD. I have to wear knee braces, back brace, ilial bands and sometimes a wrist brace to mow the lawn these days. I really miss being able to just grab my pack and go explore a new spot. Keep up the good work. Cliff

Thank you for being so open about your PTSD! Anyone that suffers from depression shouldn't feel alone. Keep up the good work brother! 👍

Great cause brother, I made a donation and shared the link on my Facebook page. Best of luck with your efforts.

Chris I love this video and you have done so good on a lot of different videos I have seen and learned so much Thanks if it wasn't for you and 4 others here on RU-vid I would be still lost. So thank you and everyone else here.

Congratulations Fern!

That’s a lot of gold. Would love to see it on the scales!

Such a good thing you’re doing

You are an awesome human!

Everyday I watch ur videos. Your awesome friend. That's a nice pan of Gold!

Ok Chris, so I donated a small amount. I had to clear it with "she who must be obeyed " first, so I told her about what you were doing and what the cause was. Lisa asked me if I could leave a post about what is Fern trained in, in relation to your PTSD and what her responses are. IE, is she trained to sense when you get distressed or are having an attack and what her response is, does she come and lie on you or try to interact in response to a stressful situation?. The Missus is a doctor in social sciences and is interested from both a personal and professional perspective. cheers mate, All the best with Fern and the shiny stuff for the future.

Love what u do sir ... very educational show love it .

Great start to the day 💛 cheers Chris

Keep the awesome work up bud. And keep up on letting people know what's going on in the world. And not just there community but the whole world's community.

Thank you for another awesome vid mate

Good stuff there! 👏 good luck everyone.

Awesome mate.. keep the hard work going 💪

G'day mate, you make us Aussies proud, well done.- Instantly subscribed, Thank you

Thanks Chris for ur selfless work in helping ppl to understand the different platforms of mental illness. I’m so lucky & grateful to have in my life the beautiful Lucy, who is a Bull Arab x Pittbull that is the biggest sooky-la-la ever. She knows when I’m not having a good day, she comes & puts her head on my lap & looks at me with those gorgeous eyes & my heart melts. Unfortunately sometimes she forgets she’s 40kg’s & thinks she’s a lap dog. Doesn’t care & climbs up on me. Lol Keep up the great videos I’m learning lots about gold prospecting. 🤙

Much respect bro. You are such a great person. Keep up the good work.
