Part 1 and 2 of this series is by far the most epic prospecting ever documented on you tube. Overcame extreme hardship and reaped the rewards. No fridge. No air con. Doing it tough like the old timers. And allot of colour to examine of an evening.

Absolutely amazing, especially those specimens. I appreciate your bits on the flora and fauna as well. Thanks!

Part 1 and 2 - the most enjoyable gold prospecting videos I have seen in years. I like many appreciate your style and presentation. Please keep up the great work and effort you put in to sharing your adventures. I am inspired. Cheers Ian

every second of waiting for part 2 was worth it. It's not just the spectacular gold that makes your films unique. I love the spartan way you do it. I believe the reason for your success is that you are a part of this beautiful wilderness. You act and move like this. Respect!! Steve thank you so much for sharing. I hope you will continue to share your adventures with us. Stay healthy and safe out there.

Great commentary, Great filming and great gold . I spent 6 weeks up that way last winter. Rough country you did so well over that terrain. I'm looking forward to future shows. Thanks matey 👍

Cheers Mate,triple 77 p7y 5 &8 glorious Gold Kansas City A kind regards blown away as the wind I know it's been a challenge with more people that makes it a challenge of situations you are doing good and getting Goode I know there has been more than we ever lost. or gained. See Your Glory

Steve, you were the hardest working and most successful prospector on the field last year. It was a pleasure to detect with you. Hope to see you up there again soon

Excellently video, so informative, that pool that appeared overnight was stunning not to mention the gold

What an awesome trip, and even better to have this video memory. I would do it too, if it wasn't for the heat and the snakes and the flies and bugs. Thanks for sharing this with us all.

Thanks Steve, once again inspirational, too many of us think it is easy, it takes persistence, hours on the ground and hard work. there are only a few prospectors I know of your caliber and the Palmer Goldfields defines them. Much respect, hope your dad is well, see you again later in the season, there is a hot cooked meal waiting lol

I've watched several different prospecting channels and your channel has got to be my favorite.👍👍

Steve, being a kiwi you would be used to steep dense country, unlike for us WA & Vic prospectors it would be just another day in the office for you ! Seriously I take my hat off to you, your getting what you deserve. well done cheers Johno

Thanks Mate, you revived this old Prospector.

I was super surprised to see one of our De-Tect- It picks in your video, glad you liked the pick you using at the tail end of video, we are glad you like our quality and the makings help with depth too. Overall great video.

The flora, fana, and the gold wow. And you look like my uncle Paul. What fun. Blessings

Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Inspirational for all us " mere mortal" prospectors.

Boy you found some nice gold. Some of those specimens are spectacular. I dream of finding just one big nugget like the big ones you found. Thank you for sharing Steve.

WOW amazing my friend, lots of results, good luck always. greetings one hobby.🤝🇮🇩🔔🔔👍🙏💪

You popped up on my feed about an hour ago and what a fantastic surprise I got watching part 1 of your Queensland gold video.I watch many a Gold channel but your the best detector of them all I am now a subscriber to your KZfaq channel and I am just about to watch part two All the best maté from me here in Glasgow Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❤

That big specimen is a beauty, hard work but worth it. By the time I got to end I was gobsmacked by the quantity and quality of all your finds.

Very well done video and a great gold find,

Wow I am blown away by the size of the nuggets you find over there! It’s incredibly ground.

I have so enjoyed these Gold Videos !!

Thank you a lot. Great documentary of your work. I would wish so much to do what you are doing. Good luck and health to you. ❤

Wow mate ..now thats a ripper ....Congrats and good job ...... beautiful specimen ..... can't wait to see you do a specific gravity water test on it .....really nice Nuggies.....👍 and specimen Gold too ....very good job ...that means the reef is nearby up that gully ... absolutely beautiful mate ....what machine and coil are you running ...looks like a 5000.... keep them vids a coming with all that beautiful Shiney

Great find, those big species are beautiful.

Fantastic two parter, thanks for the effort in filming.

The best video my friend ,, Very inspiring. Greetings from a traditional Indonesian gold miner 🇮🇩💪👍🌺

After watching this I am having a case of AU-awe lol… totally mind-blowing there are that many big nuggets down under, as are the beasts which heavily guard the treasures 😅 Fantastic videos!

Great video Steve, Traversing about that rugged country isn't all that easy, add to it the heat, humidity and the long grass makes the whole adventure quite daunting, you earned that gold, Well done and those species are awesome. Cheers Peter T

Amazing gold

Unreal! Just amazing the size and quantity of nuggets. A massive congratulations to you sir. Cheers Lee.

Great gold again Steve - thanks for the video - I'll be in Qld this winter but mostly chasing Sapphire. Should get a few days in Clermont and I'd be happy with a gram or so each day.

You've done extremely well there Steve. Some great nuggets and specimens in that lot!

Awesome effort buddy and some more amazing finds, well worth digging down on the ground you found, that's what me and a few mates do where I prospect, after all the fires went through here a few years ago the bush is horribly thick so we just pick a spot and dig and detect as we go, sometimes we get lost sometimes just a few bits. But it's still more productive than trying to walk the bush.

Steve thanks a bunch for sharing with us your great adventures. I envy your life in the outdoors. I’m hooked. 😁🇨🇦

Fantastic videos Steve. (Been following them from way back.) The coins you found. The two outside coins at least 200 years old and the writing is what they called their "King" at the time "huangdi". The middle one a bit younger. (My partners Chinese). We are at this moment out prospecting south of Meekatharra. Cheers Gary (Gazzas Gold).

5:20 Emus are talking amongst themselves. "It's okay. It's only one human. We won a war against them when grandad was alive."

Man that is a great haul, well done, thanks for sharing it. Cheers

Well if was easy everybody would be doing it. Right. Nice Gold. Cheers

Awesome haul!

i have to say steve your species look incredible what an unbelievable trip this looks even better than part one apart from the big one of course.i was thinking the fire while being very dangerous would have made detecting much easier with all the grass gone anyway hope theres part 3 coming regards bill

Excellent video.

Great video and congratulations on finding the gold.

Well done thanks for sharing

Husband & I have spent time travelling, detecting, in past, with best results in Georgetown. I get nostalgic at the sound of the 'beep', and think it would be great to head off again. Like the creature comforts too much now...most of all tho, dislike the CREATURES. I thought Nth Qld would be nice to go to again, down from Dimbulah, but.... digging up wolf spider/mouse spider/funnel web variants...is enough to make me know I will never return haha. (biggest found was 2 oz'er, south of G'town...with no serious arachnid confrontations, tho the snakes were about. Funny, wrong snake has the potentially lethal outcome, but the spider kills me with fear) 🤣Great gold, brilliant adventure! Looking forward to seeing more of you...maybe less of the 'you know whats'!

Hay nice one brother, from Scott far north Queensland

Nice job on the gold my friend

another top video steve, always look froward to your hunting ones also, kiwi perth

Amazing vid bro. Loved it and well done 👍

Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi mate, first of all I'd like to say i love your channel. I grew up in New Zealand and spent majority of my childhood out in nature. Geology fascinates me and i have worked in seismic geological surveying both in NZ and Australia so i understand inner processes of mineral deposition. One day a want to test my knowledge and try fossicking for gold. Have you used geological data and resources before to aid in your fossicking?

I'd love to head out with u guys one day. I usually hit creeks. I wanna experience detecting inland

Fantastic Video... so very enjoyable and great to see someone having great gold success... Hard earned, I am sure.. I'm not a prospector but very jealous just the same. Cheers..

The birds up that way have been known to grab burning sticks and spreading the fire so it funnels creatures into tighter area for easier pickings.

So I am very curious as to length of time prospecting, and the final all-up tally in weight and value. I'm guessing a month and probably 10 ounces/$30,000? More of a lifestyle and some fairly good money, but not a good full-time living when costs and hardship are taken into account. A great holiday though. I can only dream as I probably have only a few years left due to age and terrible crippling health, but I live through these type of videos, and really admire and also appreciate all that is involved. Thank you Steve.

The big nuggets are down in the cracks! Dig trenches going up the hill and backfill and of course only do the good stuff that way you’re always backfilling and raking it back it will give you direction. If you’re gonna dare get a real pic four prong rock rake and shovel

That yellow looks innocent enough. I showed a policeman a nugget i found..his remark ' I'd kill for that '. Yellow does strange things 😂

rayos amigo excelente video un saludo desde Colombia

Awesome video mate the best on KZfaq. Keep them coming. Chhers

Love the video 👍🏻⛏️

Great stuff, amazing nuggets 👍

Nice haul Steve, Palmer is very similar to kilkivan, except the nuggets are much bigger. I’d love to come for a walk if you ever want a partner, I run a 6000 and live in malanda (3 hrs from Palmer) and am no stranger to horrible Bushland haha, good on ya mate, nic

Awesome series mate. Done a bit of gold in Otago but my dream is to do exactly this in Aussie

Nice to see somebody that can run a detector. Interesting to share skills I’ve always thought about going to Australia . I’m from California don’t take that seriously Northern Cal been running detectors for gold for 40 Years

Impressive. 👌🏻👍🏻

31:35 Ah, yes, the Green Tree Ant. Lovely little buggers. You can make a cup of lemon tea by crushing a bunch of them into a cup and pouring hot water over them. Their bums have a tangy acid and the crushed ants also make a good a poultice for bruises and abrasions. But yeah, they defend their trees with vigour hehe.

Well teach me to comment before the video Finished! Good job’

Wow mate what an adventure an great gold i can only dream about finding myself one day, i found 4 sub gramers disafternoon but nothing like your finds, very motivating vid thanks for share mate. When your seaching new gullys or hill sides what advice or pointers would you give steve? Cheers👍

He's getting ounces as quick as others are getting grams, impressive.

Muito bom seu trabalho muito ouro like pelo seu vidio top

Bloody awesome, well done

Nice 👍🏿

Love your dedication to the prospecting. You may want to get yourself a tripod so you don't have to hold the camera. You can get one for a Phone as well as for a Go pro. Good on you Mate! Coming to you from Western Canada.

Brown snake probably the worst to get bit by.... Especially out bush I wear gummies or gators most just move outa your way

Recien te encuentro y ya me suscribí. Son tan increibles tus pepita que aveces no lo puedo creer. Saludos desde Argentina. I just found you and I already subscribed. Your nuggets are so incredible that sometimes I can't believe it. Greetings from Argentina.

Your task makes fantastic earrings. Rater then giving them away show a jeweler see what they think you could be surprised.

Crazy landscape, it almost looks like SE Queensland but i didn't think there was much gold down there.

Great video Mate, you deserve all the gold you find! Fantastic effort, is that a 4500 you're using? Looks like your in Palmer River country, hard going.... maybe you can afford a fridge and a solar set up now.

Half ounce nuggets? The old-timers had a nose for the gold

That is a reef, my friend, at 33.30. You should have hunted that area hard. 👍 Reefs can go several metres deep.

very nice!

Can't understand why you don't invest in head cam so cheap hands-free Budd

Saludos desde España 🇪🇦🇪🇦

Great job

Lucky lucky lucky

Holy smokes

I'm dumbfounded .

Wow truely amazing TheGraftBoys!!! ✨

Woohoo big gold

Awsome content Steve, was wondering how long you spent out there detecting?? You certainly had a good trip. That 5000 is serving you well.

You should apply to be on Aussie Gold Hunters 💯% You find more gold than most of those jokers on that show. 👍👌🙂

those nuggets are crazy.. esp that big one. sheesh.. this guy gets the biggest nuggets ive ever seen on yt so far. this man finds so much i wish i could have panned the dirt off his hands after hahaha.

Lovely

43.20 looks like a dog with a pigs snout, but nevertheless beautiful speci, dare say u could get 2-3 times gold value on that!! And it makes me wonder on the deeper ground what might be lurking, surely 1kg+ chunks, i have a monster coil just waiting for ground like that, but with that thick growth it would be real hard to swing the bastard LOL, i guess i will just have to settle for Victoria, there is still some big un's waiting down deeper, and soon i will be there swinging, and can't bloody wait for that, u have just got my motivation to scale up a notch or two!!!

Show 💎⛏️🇧🇷

How much would that 11 gram one be u.s just curious . I like the shape.

Thanks for sharing, might be a trip of a lifetime regarding amount of AU Also to share the wildlife is pleasant 😊

Great results Steve, what detector do you prefer?
