Yeah aye the west coast heat is so much harsher then anywhere else!

Thanks heaps bro, it was an amazing trip having them up there and thoroughly enjoyed. We will keep at it and fingers crossed more nuggets to come!

Thanks a heap! Definitely, we just need to get into filming properly and hopefully the content becomes next level! Thats awesome good luck with your machine! If you can afford the extra $400 for a Nox800 and a 6" coil I would definitely recommend that over a monster as they are the same sensitivty + the nox has extra discrimnation, features, good in parks and beaches and is fully waterproof, however if you are only ever going to use it for gold and don't risk drowning it the monster is probably still the better buy (sorry for that ramble thats just my take on it and I would have went back and orignally bought a nox not a monster if I could have and just like letting everyone know the options). Thanks a lot for watching!

@@TheSluicers I'll definitely look into it and consider the options! There's a few large public parks around where I live that host events often, and a beach close by too. Cheers for that! 🙂

Cheers bro! He had to have multiple doctors appointments but is back to near normal now which is good. Yeah it’s horrible up north, luckily dodged it all down here in the south, the rain up there that is ruining the whole region even if it did come down here and hit the west coast the west coast is just so used to it it wouldn’t cause much if any damage luckily.

Mixture of the new go pro 11 and my iPhone12. It was such an epic trip thanks heaps for watching!

Cheers bro, tell them thanks! Hope you enjoyed :).

Yes a private gold claim in the Buller region

Definitely it’s a lot hotter however due to I think it’s the hole in the ozone layer and many other environmental factors the heat here is far far far more intense, even ask an Australian and 30c on the west coast feels like 40c over there, it’s a lot more of an intense heat not just a static heat, but yes I’m not trying to argue it’s even comparable to Australia, (and yes I have been to Australia multiple times in extreme heats and it’s very comparable to how it feels) just a very hot day for the west coast which is usually quite tropical and a bit colder.

@@TheSluicers Yeah fair enough that is hot for the west coast but i assure you the heat here is way more intense than over in new zealand mate. Australia as you know has alot of different climates so it varies around the country here in victoria its a temperate climate we get hot dry summers with basically no humidity a nice dry heat. It typically reaches anywhere from 40 up to as high as 50 degrees where is north qld is in the tropics so its hot and humid im also fairly sure the ozone is thinner here in australia than anywhere else in the world except for antarctica I am australian btw 👍 🇦🇺

@@northeastnuggets9131 The west coast has far less pollution then basically anywhere else in the world which causes much more intense direct heat for the temperature from the sun and I’m not sure where you got your ozone theory from, New Zealand is basically smack bang in the middle of it and suffers a lot worse from UV and sun damages because of it, however Australia is slightly closer to the equator which means the sun gets a bit higher in the sky. The heat gets far far hotter in Australia and gets much worse for sure and yes your right New Zealand almost never passes 40C Australia is a lot hotter as a whole there is no argument there. However as I said at least on the west coast the UV and intensity of the sun is significantly higher, you will get sunburnt on a 15c day on the west coast it’s crazy, and a 30 degree day on the west coast having been to both countries feels like a 40 degree day in Australia (I know Australia’s climate varies but we have more or less been all over), in Australia it feels more like a stagnant heat when on the west coast it’s like it’s being burnt into you almost. Australia definitely gets hotter and feels hotter on it’s hotter days and has more effect I’m just saying a 30C say here on the west coast feels a lot hotter then a 30C day would in Australia or America or even to an extent Canterbury thus why I was comparing because it felt exactly like it did on those scorching 40degree days in Australia when I was over there.

@@TheSluicers My ozone theory is correct the thinner the ozone is the more intense the uv rays are gonna be i honestly think it's much of a muchness you get burnt to a crisp in both countries. Anyways keep up the good content mate thats some nice chunky gold your finding in them creeks and rivers its very similar to the gold found down in tassie in the streams glacial gold gotta love it. 👍

@@northeastnuggets9131 I can see where your coming from, it’s a silly point to debate from both our ends to be honest, the hole it’s also healed a lot since the 80s, search up image of the ozone layer and you will see the west coast of the South Island (not Auckland) is under much more effect then Australia. I don’t think when you have over 5 million people and a mega city in the state you will have higher air quality then a region with less then 35,000 people and the entire region covered in lush rainforest. Outback Australia might be comparable but I don’t think Victoria would be, probably comparable to the north island but not the west coast

Cheers bro! We have the bush which is the actual bush eg native vegetation/forest. There is also the country or the highlands or the mountains etc bush is just really middle of the nowhere in native vegetation usually.

@@TheSluicers We have those areas in the Appalachian mountains we just don't call the brushes lol
