3 Days Gold Mining in Australia – Hard Rock and Placer

If you’re keen on making some modifications to the rocker box I would recommend that the first adjustment you make is putting some higher sides on the hopper, it makes putting material through it just that much easier by containing the splashes a bit and letting you put some more material in
Also it allows you to shake the rocks around more violently when you are washing them

Is the blàck sand magñetic?

Hey what ever happend to Mic , we dont see him anymore

Hey bro, I'm just sayin' that those look Coober Pedy because Ethiopian Opals are found 9000 ft up a 10,000 ft cliff in Ethiopia, they are Hydrophane, meaning they absorb water & become crystal clear & after a while let that water out leaving honey colored opals, mostly…I found Wood Opals in the AZ deserts & some in geodesic too since All Opals were once living things. Just sayin'….

I notice you passed Chiltern , do you know if the bakery there is still open and Australian owned , some of the best pies I've had came from there , so much that we bought dozen of them after we had already bought 6 , I'm a pie loover as. I use to make pies at a bakery that was renowned for best pies in Sydney for years.

Thief.

0:45 How is your thumb doing that?

Hi Chris. A suggestion in regard to the classifier doubling to transport your gear. Attach a couple of heavy duty castors to it and add a handle. Strap down the gear and bingo, a carrier.

Thanks for sharing Chris.

Argh. It's a pootery shurd.

With size of gold on Reedy Creek you could get rid of everything above 3 mm on the spot of exavation and run much diminished material through one of your clean up sluice boxes. I would be eager to see what results you could get,regards George

Great vid Chris. Myself and probably a bunch of your followers are keen to see what mods that you do to the Rocker Box.
Regards, Jas.

Love the garden safety flops 😉

@19:44 strap a 3L bottle to the rocker handle with a tap. Semi Auto water system haha

I really enjoyed the archived ore coming out to throwing it out of the fire, back into the frying pan! Thanks for sharing. Meaning sitting on your bum doing the computer work. To me that would be the hard part.

Couldn't like this vid enough just for that simpsons reference 🤣

Bushcraft engineering, gotta love it

If you’re going to classify wet dirt with that mesh, try a gentler angle!

Chris, I've watched you for a while now, and always enjoy your videos. They have been very educational, and I admire your knowledge of geology, mineralogy, and history, you know what you're talking about. I'll probably never have the chance to pan for gold, age, finances, and area are against me today, but I wish I had the knowledge I've gained from you back in the days I was hiking around the Rockies in the gold mining areas. I saw many a sign of mining, but never even thought about what was, MOST probably, in the streams, creeks, and rivers I encountered in some very remote back country. I'm thinking my "finances" would be in a whole different zone right now if I had this knowledge back then!🤔🤯

I've watched so many of your videos weighing your gold, and, side note, thank you for that, that I've gotten pretty good at estimating your gold's weight, and when you said you thought you had 1.5 grams, I said Naw, that's an easy 2 grams. It came to 2.1 grams. Good job, Chris.

Thanks again for your videos.

maybe a meteorite
