Thanks for you comments, I really appreciate that. Cheers 😃.

Thanks, the lightning and thunder out there can be really spectacular at times and often without any rain at all. Dry strikes can also sometimes be hazardous causing bush fires.

I know what you mean, so many Kiwis, but Aussie is such a great country its hard to stay away from Lol.

Thanks for that, cheers.

Yeah that would've been funny, fortunately the goats ran the other way LoL. Cheers.

Very entertaining

Yeah me too !! Bet it boring without the wildlife nice video

Glad you enjoyed thanks for that. Got another one coming out soon.

Cheers thanks for that.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed, cheers.

Hi Williaim, yeah that 1080 has really done a lot of damage in NZ. We've seen some awful sights over the years and unfortunately it dosen't look like ending any time soon either. They're using more every year and Kiwi are disappearing at an alarming rate. That story you said about the possum hunter sounds like many others we've heard across the country and it's so tragic. The departments just don't seem to care and of course they never go into the bush so they don't even now whats happening out there.

Thanks. Yeah I agree it would make a great series, if only a tv station was interested. I believe there is still some good gold in NZ but as far as I'm aware the country is mostly tied up with either private land or DOC administered land and their regulations make it extremely difficult or too costly.

Thanks, yeah there,s some fascinating wildlife out there and it all adds to the adventure. My next video will show some of the larger members of wildlife.

Wouldn't they be more expensive in the form of nuggets?

Thanks, I was planning on heading out west again soon but now with the corona virus and everything on lockdown I'm not sure if I'll be able to get there this season, still hoping though. Cheers.

Thanks cheers.

Thanks for that cheers.

Thanks, new video out soon.

Thanks for that. Yeah I agree its a great sound when the gold hits the table, cheers.

Glad you enjoyed, my next video is out soon with more gold and the biggest nugget I've ever found.

Cheers thanks.

Thanks, its pretty exciting when you see yellow that's for sure.

Cheers thanks.

Thanks for that, yeah its exciting when you're finding gold but can also test your patience at times when finding nothing and the heat can get really hard to handle at times also. But somehow the adventure of it still keeps me coming back for more.

Cheers thanks for that.

Yeah it certainly takes a lot of dedication, never as easy as it looks on film. Would be easy to give up at times during dry spells of finding nothing.

Thanks for that, cheers.

Thanks for your kind words, I tend to do most of my major excursions solo and while it does add an extra degree of risk it all adds to the experience. I traveled over via the southern route, so past Broken Hill and out across the Nullabor then up to Kalgoorlie and beyond. Next trip I'll probably go via the northern route. I have another gold video I've just finished editing which will be on utube soon, with some bigger gold and larger wildlife also.

Hi sorry about the late reply, I only just recently checked the comments. I had someone else load the clip onto utube so I don't get the notifications when a comment comes in. Yeah it was a bit rough to start with but I met a guy from Tasmania who gave me a few tips on tuning etc and that was a great help. I ended up staying out there for a few months, covering a few different areas.

@@TimBrownSenorCafe I was able to ration my food and water so that I only had to go to a nearest town once every three weeks or so to stock up. I tend to eat and drink only the minimum when I do my excursions, and then I make up for it when I get back to civilization, Lol.

Cheers thanks for that.

Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed. My latest video is (my biggest and best gold) which was my most successful trip yet. In terms of prospecting between Australia and NZ, in my view Aussie is way better. Don't get wrong NZ still has good gold but nothing like the scale of Australia, and most of it is on private land or conservation land administered by DOC. Which means it can be expensive, difficult or impossible to get access on for prospecting. Australia being so massive still has a lot of crown land available for prospecting, with the appropriate miners right or permit of course. And so many different minerals, its amazing. I've personally found sapphires, zircons, opals and of course gold. Cheers.

@@stevegraf9276 That's wonderful Steve and I also watched and really enjoyed your latest movie. I am actually Australian but travelled to NZ many times and would love to live there and that is why I mentioned being torn between NZ & outback Oz. Great that you have found gems. I'm also a gemologist and have fossicked the New England over the years and had some success. Thanks so much for your reply and I look forward to more of your productions. Cheers

Cheers thanks for that.

Thanks Daniel, yeah it probably is a bit long, I just think of it like watching a movie lol.
