Thanks mate, very well said. I live in a great area for gold history and it is really nice to share a bit of that with you awesome people. I will include more of this type of stuff in future vids. I think the magnet fishing should be a bit of fun. Do you have any vids coming in the near future?

@@RockAndOreI would love if you added more historical content! Youre a knowledgable bloke and you present things well, I look forward to more. I would love to put out a video every week but ive been a little busy lately 😕 Real life often gets in the way of fun.

@@DunkyandtheRav3n Yeah I will try to add more of that type of content into future vids. I know what you mean with life being busy for sure, we have 6 kiddies at home aged between 2 and 20 and we home school. It's gunna be a friggen hot summer and getting out prospecting can be hard work. I look forward to seeing you guys out having some fun and scoring some nice colour to sweeten the deal. Take it easy mate.

@Rock & Ore With 6 kiddos it's impressive that you have ANY time for yourself. Family is always the number one priority so you just gotta do what you gotta do, my hats off to you two. You aren't wrong about this summer, I'm already dreading it. 30 degree day yesterday felt much hotter than it should have. I feel like it's going to be one of those blistering white hot sun, baked red earth, scorched rock, summers. Hopefully the shiny shows up better in all that sun 😁

@@DunkyandtheRav3n Yep, I reckon you are spot on about this summer mate. Last summer I tried a bit of night detecting with a head torch but I had to eat way too many bugs attracted by the light. I'm gunna have to break out the big hat and just tough it out. I'm thinking sluicing and panning is the go so we can at least splash around in the water.

Thanks GS. Have a safe and happy xmas mate.

Thanks mate. Will do.

Yeah mate it's pretty damn cool. Those old timers done it hard building that stuff by hand.

Yep for sure mate, thanks and all the best to you as well.

Thank you. There is plenty more cool places to check out around my area so I will try to include them in future vids. I hope that ouncer comes soon:)

Hi mate, I will get out and film some magnet fishing over the next week or two and post the vid ASAP. I did give it a try but all of the rope I had wouldn't reach the bottom. I now have much longer ropes and I am looking forward to doing it. Cheers mate.🎣🤠

That's very true mate. My first biggish nugget (9.4g) came out from under half a horse shoe.

You are so right mate, you have to dig everything. I have a table outside of my shed with tens of kilo's of iron trash, bullets and everything else you could think of🤠 You never know when it's going to be the big nugget or something of great value😄 What do you hunt for mate?

@@RockAndOre I really enjoy taking the trash out of the rivers and creeks anywhere i can. i love taking lead out of our water table. I search for anything that hits the coil. I don't have any expectations so I always have a fantastic time no matter what. It's just a happy place for me. thanks for the subscription it's greatly appreciated my friend. But I haven't shot any videos as I'm rather illiterate when it comes to the internet thing. I want to make videos in the future. I had to make this so i was able to comment on peoples videos. I didn't expect people join something I didn't have. thanks for interacting .I rather enjoyed that. hope you have a great Christmas.

@@stevezozuk9622 Hey no worries mate. I love just being able to chat with guys that love the same hobbies I do. It would be cool if you could make a few videos to share your adventures but it's not for everyone. I don't really like being on camera but I am starting to get over it😏 Hope to chat more with you in the very near future mate. Take care.

@@RockAndOre Encouragement like that just might get me there sooner. Like you I'm camera shy so practice is good I imagine.Chatting is awesome and anytime is good by me. Please feel free

@@stevezozuk9622 Sounds great to me mate. Anytime is good.

So true mate. Thank you for the visit MDQ

Thanks Mark, all the best to you too mate

Cheers Shane, You have a good one too mate.

Cheers Goat, Yeah I love the camo 2 mate. What detector do you swing?

@@RockAndOre I have a Minelab Gofind 66...I haven't tried to find gold with it yet.

@@adventureswithgoat719 Yeah I just got one of those for my 21 yo daughter. They seen to be pretty good and light weight (easy to carry around). I started with a GP 3000 and upgraded when I found enough gold. I also have an equinox 800 but I hav'nt used it much.

Cheers mate🤠

Yeah it's not a bad area, nice stuff to look at but a bit rough to walk around the rubble and people have been dumping household trash around the area :(pricks). Cheers Pete.

@@RockAndOre People dumping rubbish in the bush has increased in recent years, if tip fee's were resonable it wouldn't be so bad, but people will still be lazy.

I agree Pete, it's going to get worse.

@@PetesGoldAdventures the trash in the bush is beyond a joke now. I go out at least once a week ro pick up rubbish in the state parks. I fill my bucket within minutes 🤨

@@DunkyandtheRav3n Your a good man, there was a bloke around Bendigo that used to bag it up and leave it on the side of the road with a sign on it, I think it said "Paw was here" or something like that, I guess it was then picked up by the park's guy's, he done good.

Yep that would suck. Thanks for the comment mate.

@@RockAndOre yesssir!

Hi John, thanks for watching mate. I would love to say that I have found one that big. Maybe one day soon. Thanks for the comment and good luck to you as well.

@@RockAndOre And you take care.

Yeah thanks mate. the ground in that spot was hard as rock, I have come to realise that I'm gunna be digging plenty of these holes if I want to find a biggie one of these days.

Thank you friend😀👍🙏

Thanks Mate, we will be checking out you guys tonight.

Cheers mate, I watch a few of yours last night. You guys ride them quads hard mate. Love the content.

@@RockAndOre ripper mate we get upto some mischief aye the bikes are mostly full noise or parked hehe

Thank you mate. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work as well. Take it easy mate.

True mate, It's hard not to get down when you see that rust but hey that's prospecting. Thanks for watching mate.

@@RockAndOre no problemo mate, keep up the good work and keep the videos coming ⛏️🤠🇦🇺

Bienvenido mi amigo

Thanks Mate

Thanks mate and same for you.

Thanks mate, plenty more to come.

:)

It gets up to 40c + here in the summer, makes it hard for prospecting during the middle of the day but it's still fun.

Hi Gregory, I will be doing a full video on the GPX 4500 settings later this week. Sorry it took so long to reply mate.

I will include the settings I use for that ground

That’s cool thanks, I know it’s a bit rude to ask about the settings but really I think it would be good to talk about them and we could learn more about the gpx 4500. I own one and it great I can get it quite and humming all good found gold and all that just if people would start talking about the settings it would be cool 😎 Do you think so thanks from Greg McC

@@heapsofspace759 No worries mate. I have no problem at all sharing my settings and techniques with anyone that asks. I agree, it would be great if prospectors would share a bit more but sometimes they just won't. The 4500 can be a bit tricky to get right in some conditions for sure. I will do my best to unravel some of the tricks and tips in the video. Thanks for the comment and reply mate. See you soon Gregory👍

I'm not 100% sure Goat, but that mine and battery at Eureka reef ran from 1850 to 1950, It's likely to have been built around the late 1800's

@@RockAndOre nice bro! I love that old history! Beautiful area my friend! Cheers M8

Thanks mate. I'm not sure but I think they are for the smelting process, I will have to do some research to find out. You take care as well mate. Cheers.

@@RockAndOre Thank you

Hi mate, I went to school with a Delmenico but I'm struggling to remember her first name. The five flags pub has a long history with the "gold timers" and there is some great photos online from early times. Thanks for sharing that mate.

@@RockAndOre yeah had plenty a beer there 👍

@@RockAndOre catch up with Andrew the coffee bush kid and tell him I sent you

@@RockAndOre my uncle cap delminco built all the slate walls around the gardens as you enter the main drag in Castlemaine

@@RockAndOre also I have quite a few family members buried at the cemetery not far from the five flags. Including my great grandma browning who was 99 years old

Thank you Katie, at 4:08 it is a scorpion😯thanks again for the lovely comment my darling.🥰😍

@@RockAndOre oh jeez that is a really big scorpion 😕

@@PinkQueenKatie I know right🦂

Yeah I filmed some of it near the dingo farm mate.

@@RockAndOre it's a pretty cool area, so much stuff going on in that whole area, the chimney is probably the best feature

@@jonathanmillichip9296 Yeah I agree mate. It's a really nice place to spend the day. I will be heading back there soon to do another video. Cheers mate.

@@RockAndOre I found an 1800's token stuck in a groove in the bedrock there a while back, couldn't believe it, best of luck fella

@@jonathanmillichip9296 That's a really cool find mate. Best of luck to you too 👍

Yakka Legends Mate.

And thank you, Very kind comment.
