Tip with lifting tin.....its better to lift it towards you. Even to the point of standing on the edge closest to you. That way when the tin comes up the snake takes off away from you instead of towards you.

Klesh, I got a hunch and I searched quickly that Cottee's bottle, and if it's clean and not broken, some collectors pay up to 20-70 australian dollars of it.

guy gives him a thing of quartz and he throws it on the ground lol

Last year on Mother’s Day, kids walking the dog with Dad, Mum stayed home, Dad kicks rock and kid asked is that gold Dad ? Indeed it was a 35 grand nugget $$. Made the news, Bendigo. you don’t have to search for them just trip over them. Shane’s visit was somewhat different 🥺😒.

love the vids mate ....keep'em coming and get back to that deposit.....

Here's a tip, never lift a sheet of tin from the side facing you. Had there been a snake under them you would have been bitten. Always reach across the tin and lift it from the opposite side, so the snake has an escape route and the tin is between you and the snake

Dude! Just being there was a treasure. That place is wonderful for just the history alone.Great International video my friend. Till next one.

Exploring old sites, looking for gold. It doesn't get much better, unless you find some gold. Thanks Shane for the video. Great fun.

That was fun man, thanks for taking us along for the exploration.

That's an OLD pan! What hard core diggers! Awesome cool fun!

Those old timers lived off the grid...just the simple life.. Thanks for sharing.. Cheers Famo59.👍🤓🍺⛏

Very cool and fun video Shane!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

Always great to watch your videos, brother!!!

I love your videos. Especially the Australian ones. I live in kalgoorlie western Australia which is home to the 2nd largest gold mine called the superpit. I love how smart you are and the way you talk is very well done with your videos. Absolutely love your vids and can't wait for you to come to Australia again but to the goldfields of kalgoorlie. Look it up. Also I have some paydirt to send you from a mine in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 Much respect to you and thanks for teaching me all I know

that was a really cool look around an old miners camp :)

Flippin the corrugated tin was kewl! Nice exploration vid! 🤙👍

Another great adventure. I always enjoy finding old sites like that.

Incredible finds and on my bucket list to do, I hope. Thanks again......

What a great video; such fun. Thanks for sharing, as always.

yea it was funny how that stranger dude came along and tried to say dont dig under that tree. "he said there was not anything there.. glad u didnt listen to him, he didnt know what he was talking about, he was just trying to spoil the fun..

It was worth the exploration of the camp. hey you never Know. Thanks AL I am caught Back up now . Loved the series Shane.

Very nice video!!awww the old gold pan would have been nice if it still had the bottom wow!!

Actually, I use to help my mom run 2 antique stores and some of the old old bottles especially with Gold Rush history, go for hundreds each. So do some of the old old product containers in great shape....HUNDREDS each! :D

One of the things I love about working these areas is not just working out what the gold is doing but what the people before me have been doing. I'd spend about 75% of my prospecting time in the forests around bendigo. Mostly the Whipstick since its only 2km up the road.

That water looks tasty, have a sip ;-)

New Aussie sub here, you've got a great channel, I like your laid back style, presentation and music. You've inspired me to go check a few gold areas in the North East of Victoria, Omeo, Cassilis, the Mitta, the places where I grew up. There were a whole heap of old hermit prospectors up there, cranky old bastards they were. All working their own claims and shooting at us kids if we got too close! Great times. All these old timers are long dead. Nearly every local has a story of going up to check on Old Harris or old Blue or whoever (because they haven't been down to the general store or post office for a few months) and finding a body. All of these ole coot's claims were left to rot after the body's were buried, it's pretty sad to see their personal belongings deteriorating in the dirt. But what I'm interested in is their stashes, they didn't trust banks and would hide their gold , usually buried, on their claims. ( Or so it was rumoured haha). And they were definitely finding gold, on the odd occasion one would rock up to the pub, get drunk and start boasting about how they could uproot tomorrow, go to Thailand to live like a king. But the next day they'd be back at the claim sluicing away, digging and cursing. The lure of more gold was a powerful motivator. They weren't the only ones stashing treasure; mate of mine found a buried Chinese Cremation jar full of home smelted ingots once, detecting around Cassilis. It was over 150 years old. ( Lots of Chinese gold prospectors in the area back then). I reckon if I ran a detector at the base of the bigger trees or boulders, i might find some old buggers hidden cache, would make a nice surprise for any of their surviving family members or if none, myself!

7:27 Sees a harmless bull-ant wowowowwow, dont blame him though ahaha

Good adventure , that is a very interesting spot . Great video

Old school camp .. Hard living out there.. great video old mate 👍🍻🇦🇺

The treasure there is finding the camp and thinking about how he did things and how much he found.great video👍🌟

ty for sharing. this was awesome

That was neat to see thanks for taking us along

LOL, CAN HEAR THE BUGS FLYING AROUND YOU!

This video is EPIC you need long boots bro. Great content great location lotsa good relics awesome awesome awesome o bet there is still piles of nuggets there

Fasinating, great video.

I am pretty sure the square tins are biscuit tins. I've seen them displayed at a biscuit factory ages ago. I reckon that his stash is still there for sure. You need to go back with a digger! Great adventure Shane, well worth going there :)

I’m sure it will reach 10k. Keep up the great work brother

Much like here in Arizona in some of the more remote areas people have not found yet. Enjoying this trip....

I was thinking that his cut would have been eroded even more from rain or flooding and uncovering more gold over the years. When rivers flow and bank or turn they create an edge that collects gold. The banks that turn you want to search the facing upstream side that's where gold collects, I think I could be wrong on what side it collects. Cool video, thanks for sharing!

Awesome vid as usual! Shame there wasn't any remnants of gold there for ya

What an interesting place, I would love to dig out that old guys stuff, I bet there’s gold hiding out somewhere ⛏😃

Sweet adventure man if rocks and trees could talk the history there awesome thanks be safe

Cool explore, the mind boggles when you check out old diggings. Thanks for swinging by my channel too. I might start adding a few gold/gem stone snippets into my videos.

Thanks for the video.

You have one of those trick classifiers. Gotta get me one.

I know this video is a month old but the glass/drums/metal with holes and cans are probably a gun plinking range.

Nice adventure hope it wasn't too hot at the end.

That’s great to see you get around the place Cool find that and would be good To have more time looking around ay Cheers Crouch Oz

Looks like Huntly area. Me myself was from East Bendigo. But gold is everywhere.

These are my thoughts about this video. This one is my favorite so far. I was quite happy to see you didn't wear your sandles and..I would have swung the detector in and around the black water. Noone would ever get in it to look. Just maybe that is where he buried his stash.

"Burn barrel" ... I was worried that you found another outdoor toilet lol.

Love the videos!

Thank you for a great trip,we were with you in spirit/

always and I mean always have ca cyanoacrylate glue with you it is a lifesaver and i mean that literally its perfect for closing all kind of wounds or cuts

I was rooting for you guys maybe next time you'll hit the motherload !!

Looks like you had fun.

Crusty Rusty's family doesn't look too good

you are full of knowledge and wisdom

Morty, we’re going to Bendigo, have to get the green cube.

Cool video 😁👍

HAHA! A man after my own heart.keeping the small boy inside alive who loves to turn over logs and such to see what's living underneath them. More carefully in Oz, of course.

That spoon is evidence that a vampire has been in this location. Maybe?

Hope you loved our country btw loved NY gold diamond vid 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍

Klesh has the snipe coil. I want one of those bad boys.

The square tin can you picked up at about 6 minutes and the pile of the same were kerosene tins and they stopped using those post ww2. So not 20 years ago more like 60

Very cools old stuff..

What an adventure and it's always an adventure on your videos. It's because you're an adventurer and a love of nature. I always enjoy your videos. All the Best ~ Shirl

Looks like you found crusty rusty's Aussie ancestral army. Lot of dead soldiers so to speak, but nice video surprised with the ironstone you didn't get some glitter. Nice

Check out Whites MXT or the GMT the mxt has audio id u dont even have to look at the screen. And the gmt has a digital bar graph that u can use. 1 bar allways means a solid type of non iron metal which ive used in iron infested miner sites. I think both have iron grunt i know the gmt does. Which helps alot.. U can pick them up pretty cheap used.

Awesome! Have you ever panned in the UK?

Great old Camp.

Dang that place is a perfect Location for a Dry Washing Rig. Ever Dry Washed ? Here in Southern New Mexico it's a good option.

Are you home yet? You've got mail. :D Cheers, Chris.

very cool

always flip the tin back towards yourself unless you want to get bitten of cause.

Lets link up! I live right in Southlands right down the street from ya!

I feel I need to tell you about The KZfaq channel called .. J gold .. But yeah he's awesome at finding gold in Australia using an minelab gpz7000 if you've not seen his vids defo look 👍👍

I hope you wanded where you found that lump of quartz I’ve seen it before where an old timer hid his gold stash under a big lump of quartz cos as you know where there’s quartz there’s gold

Awesome.

Pretty cool.

I’d love to off been the old guy out of the way digging a bit of gold up with plenty of peace and quiet.

top stuff mate you are nearly a ozzy now ha ha just say mate more to every one ha ha great work i try to put up videos on my chanel but they not real professional like yours are man cheers

had 2pause video. Hello …. "burn barrel". 1st place to search for buried stash. Under barrel ~rad~

Fun fun

I came back and viewed again 👍👍

What lens are you using for your camera? It has great quality!

Well, those ants were kinda gold, and they were kinda laying around on the ground everywhere.

Buried berrel I'd say was the refrigerator

It's probably abandoned for a reason. Probably because they picked the gold clean from that site. Big companies don't leave anything behind ... It's the way they do business they pick everything bone dry!!! Its sad in a way because they leave nothing behind and they do the same to trees and everything else they can profit off of and when they leave the site it takes years upon years for those areas to ever recoop if ever.

Richest goldfields on Earth around Bendigo/ Ballarat.

What would be cool is if we could see the old sluice box

Did you ever learn the fate of the old miner? Died from natural causes or forced to leave the area by authorities?

Sorry u came up empty, the memories of this trip will last a life time. I always wanted to down under.lol. I enjoy ypur videos a lot. You and Jeff W. Are my alpha and beta. TWD. 🇺🇸😨🤬🔛🔙😩🚾

Ya never know what is or was there .Wonder how the old guy put up with ants?? No shower? LOL

This was super bitchin Shane! Thank so much for sharing that place. Ghost of a Prospector.

The guy in the background sounds like crayator

Strooth mate .. i didnt know you were in Bendigo.. im 17ks sout .. near a big gold crushing plant .. poo 😁

In these hills they wash the gold and graves away To the valley under all of this I lay And there you dig me out, unearthed and saved Hover in the diving light We will rip the night Out of the arms of the sun One more time Close your eyes and we will fly Above the crowded sky And over the dumbstruck world we will run We can rip the night out of the arms of the sun Chris Cornell Scar on the Sky

Bendigo is like 1 hour from where I live
