How To Find Gold in Creeks Every Time

The one thing people don't tell you is how physically exhausting this is. It's worth it to see a couple of specks and know you are on it. Great video, learned a ton and loved the entertainment.

It's easy to read the basics, inside bend, gravel deposits, cracks... Those details about how the sediment settles out, velocity, organic materials. AWESOME INFO !

This video is brilliant Chris. It's really hard to pick up more knowledge without having a mining mentor to go out with, and I got more in the first 10 minutes of this video, than I have anywhere else in the last year.

Good video, Chris. I've been prospecting for about 7 years now. I quite enjoy when you give in-depth explanations about how you read the creek. I recently found a similar spot myself, 12 test pans for a .1 and 1 hour high banking for 1 gram. Cheers🤙

Great POV again Chris. 😎 Suggestion: What may help is to bring your GoPro view up on your phone and check it occasionally. Will help with alignment. Chest mount may also be an option. Brilliant stuff!

Love the format Chris. I so enjoy how you depart your knowledge. You make it so easy to understand. Great to see Sweatpants along for the ride, you two are my favourite YouTubers in the gold space. Give us more Fern Cam tm :) Cheers.

Chris, perhaps it would be interesting to try and take a cross-section (trench) across a channel and keep each concentrate, then lay them out so you can show the distribution of minerals right across the flow regime? While not likely to yield much physical gold, that's educational gold for sure.

Great hydrology, Chris I love the way you try to explore and figure out the forces of the creek Hydrodynamic deposition is the name of the game One thing I would like to put notice to is how sand and gravel will be laid out as the floodwaters recede … We as Prospector’s usually like to look at the bed, rock and surrounding gravel, and imagine a flood 20 to 30 feet high, depositing them in their place … One thing we need to pay attention to also is how as the flood recedes those waters will cover, heavier gravel’s, and move lighter gravel‘s and sands around, placing them in places that are difficult to understand why they are there Only thing I could think of you may possibly be missing in your explanation probably just because you’re so used to already considering it in the process Love your prospecting explanations and I watch every day ❤

I always learn something new everytime I watch one of your new videos, even when at first they seem to be redundant. But thank you Chris, for the entertainment and education, while you and, at least half the time, Gadzee, sweat and work shoveling muck, rocks and mud while doing it. ThankQ brother. ❤😊👏🏻

Your last three videos have been the best and most informative you’ve ever done. Always a pleasure to see your content. Thanks!!!

Chris: At 68yrs old, Canadian with bitter cold 6 months winters, I am a couch potato prospector for half the year. You’re the primary culprit, as you are for thousands of others. We learned at first to prospect (which I now do in retirement). Then you became our fav adventurer series. We watch to follow your growth as a prospector, educator, film producer and yes adult. Critics? People trying to make themselves look big by making others look small. Pitiable. We all hope you go out and continue, but for God’s sake go out and show yourself a good time instead of others.

You’re a talented man being able to be that entertaining for a hour + straight session and stay on topic! Great 1p video. I couldn’t look away 👍👍

Hey Chris, I just listened to your video explaining what you do, and what it takes. I really appreciate your channel, humor and knowledge, and I don't even prospect here in Washington State, US... LOL. I enjoy YOU and your buddies getting out there and sharing your adventures. I think you do a great job. So F*#k the haters... well, no, don't... that's weird... 😆. BUT! Please continue your work. Roll in whatever you feel the need and keep trucking on. I'm an old dude at 68 lol, and I'm watching almost every one of your vids...I may have missed a few early on ones, but yeah. Never forget most of us enjoy you and the gang getting out there doing WHATEVER YOU F*ING WANT! Sorry, I understand some people just suck. Breathe, and again... Keep going. Kevin AKA Kevma

"The Creek is Amazing" - couldn't help but think of a "Bluey" reference.....another amazing aussie export that together with you Chris have helped me through some tough times....

As an Aussie expat in the UK I live my gold prospecting and Aussie bush dreams vicariously through your videos. Thanks Chris

Thanks for sharing your adventures Chris. Cheers

great job bud love your vids keep it up man I'm just getting into it here in New Zealand I've seen all your vids and would love to get to the spots you went to when you came here.

that big piece of tin looked like Sphalerite to me, gotto be pretty big if you can identify it by sight...Great video really enjoying these new ideas of yours Keep em coming Thanks for sharing

Where you are panning is a lot like the creeks on my farm, so these videos help me out much better than others!

Glad to be back with Australia's no.1 son, YouTubes greatest prospector, and Ferns favourite human ❤
