I’ve watched tons of creek/river vids by all the KZfaqrs. This one alone taught me more that just clicked in my head instantly as true, than I’ve seen in countless other vids. Obviously haven’t tried any of this yet but actually feel more confident after watching this. Thank you.

Was a neat perspecitive to watch you pan on the creek. You seemed a lot more free to prospect without having to stop to film shots. I loved the flow, felt more real time. I would watch another one like that for sure.

Love the pan cam Chris. Very entertaining for us people who just can't get out to the creeks.

Sometimes you can be scrolling the tube just wishing something good would drop and BAM! Vogas drops another bomb saving the day! Thanks Chris

Im glad you did and extended video of infield prospecting. this was your bread and butter and were you started and grew your channel. never stop the basics Chris " we newbies need this". But that doesn't mean stop chacing Ore, and detecting 😂. Just saying your instructions on prospecting "not mining" makes the difference to be a better miner. I for one APPRECIATE IT MATE.

I knew nothing about gold prospecting, until I began watching your videos a couple yrs. Or so ago. Not much gold here but it fascinates me watching y’all recover it.

cracking video, actually seeing the way the gold came together as you chased it around that tree was very cool... Very easy to see how the fluid dynamics are dropping gold around the bush and helping you find the gold. Good call and thanks for sharing

Loved the lesson with adlib commentary. I have just come home from a week with friends visiting Tumut and Talbingo, and you had me looking at creeks with a whole new perspective and wondering what might be in them.

"I reckon we're gonna see something under this bush" Made me chuckle :)

I like it man. Good veiw. Of course without he commentary it's just panning. Personality is what alot of channels fall short of. Knowledge without presentation is just Knowledge but Knowledge with presentation is entertainment! Lol you and buckshot pretty much the only ones I can watch beginning to end.

Loving this new helmet cam.. explaining it and seeing from your view is amazing, thank you Chris

Fantastic vid as usual Chris. Thanks for the tips and the first person view of the panning gives a better perspective for us novices to see the method of washing. Cheers. Bryan

One of the best real time videos I have ever seen. Thanks. '

Good talk through Chris. Answers lots of questions. Well worth doing. Thanks 😁👍

I hope one day before I die again I can come to Australia to do so prospecting. I have leukemia and several other illnesses i am battling. I have been kicked out of heaven 5 times already, and have so many thing i want to do on my bucket list. Hopefully Chris if i ever can get their i want to hangout with you and Gadzie. My humor is on par with you guys!!

OCD... I also like a clean pan when panning and rinsing my shovel handle is a must. Thanks for sharing all the GEMS 🙏❤️🌲

The spot 22 min in looks like it might have back water circles in right water levels. That would drop gold. And that’s one thing that will never change. There a song reference in there. Unable to go much further than my backyard, I appreciate this video.

Great job and I like the view. I dug some paydirt last weekend. I have tomorrow off from work so you know where I'll be. The creek washing paydirt. Thank you Chris

Love the first person view! Makes me feel like I'm out there panning with you 😊

I dig it mate, you find what you find and all I can do is hope to find something. I am in Kansas City USA, Appreciate the trial some times... No Worries No Hurries GoodGold...

That felt like a 45min shoulder ride while chris was working

Great Episode!!! I enjoyed learning how to follow a pay streak 57:58 57:58

Great video, kept me mesmerised ! Such clear explanations. I learnt heaps from this one. Thanks, Chris.

I subscribe, I get the notifications, I watch the videos. I forget to like way too often. I almost never comment. I even skip the adds. But thank you. Thank you for your work!

People seem to forget water flows around like a snake and what was good deposits is now cutting across and through now river beds. Now that will make you look at rivers in a different perspective. I've been looking at this for years working out where the gold is lying 👌👌💚💛❤️

Yea for me at least on the creek i go for production whether im sluicing or panning im really not concerned with loosing gold,im confident enough in my panning skills where im getting 95% of the gold,like Chris i take my cons home to further process in a closed system consisting of a tub,saftey pan and surfactant. The time on the creek is spent moving gravels as efficiently as possible while keeping an exceptable loss rate,when i first started i found myself spending to much time being worried about losing gold that it took some of the fun out of the whole experience of being out there,great video Chris.

What a wonderful perspective! I've never held a pan in my life, but I feel like I understand it soo much better now! Thanks for taking us along.

Chris, Had a look in the store, it's great. But... the pic of you perched up upon the dunnycan, that's my favourite 😂 Please tell me you will be adding that to the merch 🙏 Full length on wallpaper in my dunny would be the 💣

It's all about fluid dynamics 👍⛏️😎

This is great thanks so much it will help me immensely when I get time to get out, I also see something in the creek bed that is quite weird but I’m guessing it’s a rock.

The gold gods don't always screw ya over brother 😎👌 love ya work mate!

Nice! The POV for the people who actually cannot get to a gold bearing creek though... pov the many (MANY AND MORE MANY) holes dug and washed and panned that are empty... maybe not great for production views, but would show the real appreciation to when the $.20 pans are hit one after another. Haha! Loving this, Chris!

Love your channel loved first person stuff more of please channel is grate more please

Hey Chris , here in Nova Scotia, Canada we have a lot of old gold mines, about 4 km from my apartment is a hard rock gold mine(1880-1890s) Over 2500 old mines!!👍✌

Awesome Mate Thanks for the adventure

As a West Australian, having gold, cassiterite, semi-precious stones and 💧WATER💧all in the same place within day-trip distance of home... I am very jealous.

That was fun to watch and a great take too!

Damn man hands down fantastic video. Ive been waiting to see one like this for so long. Now we just need one of you hopping onto a creek for the first time and the search for the location to start test panning

thanks for sharing Chris.

I remember one time years ago, and me and my fiance at the time were prospecting a creek in NZ.... I was digging an area and my misses was grading the material into buckets through a mesh pan.... We kept getting some nice specs and tiny flakes in the sluice........ That night my fiancé noticed her gold engagement ring was worn right down to nothing... And we'd been planning out the bits of it 🤣

That was truly awesome,that perspective was unreal Thank you so much

Chris, that is a substantial amount of gold! As you have told us throughout your Reedy Creek videos, finding any great amount of gold is rare (along with nuggets). So cheers to you on finding the best pay streak. I appreciate you educating us on the correct best to test and why. Furthermore, you shared many great tips such as identifying the layers, or why you pan like you do for expediting the process (more gold vs. efficiency). I really learned a lot from you today even though I've been following you for a long time. Thank you for that incredible insight! 🧐 I'm taking this knowledge and would offer an extra tip (although I've never panned for gold in my life): prospectors need to invest their time into the history of an area through research first. You know all about the Creek's history and how it flows over time. That is extremely valuable information to have before prospecting. It's why you look at it, apply history/knowledge of it, then make a plan to follow the gold. Then bingo, GOLD! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

Have you ever considered making pottery with all that clay? Seems like a perfect match for some tin glazed earthenware.

1 of the best vids of urs in a long time keep them coming plz

Yes I need to do more of this, I found this little spot on a legal creek that it seems no one has been to for a while and I’m getting good gold for my experience level but it seems to me there is multiple pay streaks so I’ve just been digging where I get good gold but I should test more and find the best pay streak before someone else does 👌 thanks for the video and water velocity info 👍

G'Day Chris nice going there mate I 'a m surprised you did not sit in that water to cool off cause it sure does look inviting mind you it's like 37/38C up here in Q.L.D today & not sure what it is down your way in Victoria. It will be interesting when you go back with the high banker till then stay safe.

I’m using the minelab 10inch pan, it wash easier the gravel, with a well shake big rock came up without classifying. I Really like doing 5-10 pan without drop too much in the heavy, then after drop the heavy to a tablespoon, collect the rough gold in the bottle, but not throwing away the heavy, just keep filling it, its kind of fast production panning, Get really good recovery this way, more you pan, more you gold, most of loss is the superfine, a decade of panning will master the panning technique to his very best, to a point that often sluice or highbanking not really worth the speed and recovery of a well experienced panner, sometime when the gold deposits is well defined, highbanking gonna work well, but after few time I get an highbanker, I didn’t produce more than I just bring a pan, shovel and bottles, and captain morgan as a good back pain killer 😆

i love these longer video's amazing content

Hi bro, unfortunately I can't get out much anymore but if you're working an area with high clay content use an battery drill and paint mixer, that sorts it out really quick

The Boulder on the left at 18 Mims in looks like ghost face

well nice gold from a different perspective thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😂

Thanks Chris 😊

Liking the new view Chris

Gday, north east eh? Heading out that way shortly. See you in the soup! 😁 thanks for the vids they have helped immensely.

That was bloody interesting, thank you

Great new view Vo gus.....love that...from Rimu Creek nz

"Danger noodle" 🤣🤣🤣👌

I would realy love to catch up with you one day, and rack your brain some, I'm a relatively new prospector but have learnt a lot in my few years, and thanks to you some of it makes more sence, cheers for the great educational content keep it up 💪

Great vid..well done!!

At 14:30 in the video, it looks like there is a face or skull in the water - on the left side of your shadow at the shoulder

great POV video Thanks ,felt like i was there

It would be cool if you made a book on how to gold pan and such

Worth watching as it went into a lot of little tips and stuff. Great video. Have to apologise for not remaining a Patron, but on just the bare pension now I'm retired all my money is gone totally by next pension day, so in two weeks between each there isn't enough for food let alone any Patronage...just wish I could remain a patron but nope, no dough left for bread matey.

Nice vid as usual!!

❤when you flipped the bird to everyone...lol

Love your vids. Thank you

Thanks man!

Lovely day to be in a creek

I wish I lived in a gold bearing region. Well I technically do but it’s a hell of a drive to get to any area I might find something. And then it’s way to much digging to get two very tiny micro dots

Absolutely hate gritty shovel handles! You are not alone there mate

Well done my man, like the first person view.

I find that if I pan fast then I get most of the gold like you and others do. I’m not sure if I’m losing gold while I’m classifying my material or from the actual panning. I’m usually in a shallow spot with decent flow so a lot of the blond sands get washed away from the tailings. I just pan my tailings before I leave for the day and end up collecting a good portion of that lost gold anyway.

At 14:30did you see the dead face in the water 😂😂😂. Gold prospector ghost…. Arghhhh

Come out to Northern California and Ill put you on gold in some amazing spots.

Make a vr video would be sick real first person.. keep up the good work..

Hey Chris, have you ever considered extracting tin from the black sand? I don't know how hard it is to refine the tin or what kind of yield but at around A$40/kg, the black sand/tin may be worth more than the gold in some of your pans.

Good advice on efficiency and panning. I pan really slow because I have arthritis but I lose gold because my hands shake. Oh well

At about 14 mins in when you started shoveling again, that one rock up and left looks like a 💀...👀

Given that there has been a lot of water the last couple of years would it be possible that the deposits would be more concentrated further down steam, question from someone who hasn’t prospected before. Love your videos I find them very interesting

Love the 1 hour video, But Gadzee says you cannot fill your boots with water if you wear your SWEATPANTS !!!!

My only chance would be if you let me pan your wheelbarrow 😂. Great vids mate thankyou.

With the current gold prices how many specs per pan do you want to be consistently getting to warrant the highbanker?

Hey go check out the flower gold wizard he's got a new cleaning thing that's faster than a Miller table and cleans better

Would collecting the conglomerate up an feeding threw RC1 an getting the fines out be worth it

You should get a bucket or two of clay and wash it down for a video? Might be worth taking some different layers of clay - one from top and one off bedrock.

Sometimes doing it, rather than saying it just makes more sense.

Hey Chris have you ever tried a turbo pan? Just saw them online

I wish I lived in rich grounds I'm in the worst area.... I'm in iowa and I've got black sands but no gold yet... trying alot of areas... how many pans should I do before moving locations

I Don't think Jeff Williams Pans too Fast. The Gold does Emerge from the Tailings though. I believe the Tailings are Oxidizing and Releasing a small amount of Gold as Material Fractures over time. It's a Mistake to think of Tailings as being Chemically Stable. Decomposition of Tailings Releases a Small Amount of Trapped Gold.

Hey Chris what’s with the scull in the beginning 😮14:35

174 👍's up VGP thank you for sharing 😊

Ahhhh. didn't show the final weight! gonna keep us guessing eh?

Where is miss Fern I miss her in the videos

We all can not see the precious metal you hope we can see...blessings...m

Nothing wrong with leaving a few flakes for seed.

Looks like panning but without the hard work and sore back fro bending over😜

If you ever come to the USA come to Georgia dude. I'd love to meet you and take you out on our creeks around here.

I love this kind of format, may i ask how you recorded this? i cant get 5 mins of footage on my gopro 10 without it shutting it off due to over heating. this type of footage i want to capture not 2 mins of actual digging at a time

anyone know where in nsw can go panning, any information will be appreciated!

Good beans :)
