I worked with a guy in about 1980. He dove into a river and saw something shiny. It was a 7 POUND nugget! He described it as being the size of his hand. Even back then it was a small fortune. He was a very nice Greek guy and his story seemed legit. BTW I am Sir Donald Bradmans 4th cousin. Cheers from Victoria Canada.

@WalnLiz

Pretty well anywhere in the Vic Golden Triangle will get you gold with a detector. The determining factor to success is the quality of the detector and a very good understanding of how to best use them. Alluvial prospecting is also a very consistent way of getting gold especially up in the Vic Alps and around the Beechworth region. We are in NSW and spend a lot of time up around Hill End, Sofala and the Bathurst areas. Not much prospecting in Hawaii but could be worth taking a detector for treasure hunting on the beaches. Best of luck...Wal.

Wal nLiz I have lived in Australia all of my life and this is the first time I have heard that motorized equipment cannot be used while prospecting. I'm afraid who ever told you that is lying, you can use anything on government land. Obviously if your on private property for what ever reason and IF the owner of the property tells you not to use motorized equipment then you would obey their wishes. Although that being said if a property owner is going to allow you on their property then they wont care if you used a motorized vacuum or a gold detector or any small machine for that matter. It's fair to say they wont allow you to bring in heavy machinery maybe, such as a huge sluice box and other large equipment but no everyday prospector would even consider that as it costs tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars for this equipment. You can definitely use motorized equipment in Australia, they even let you use a metal detector at most beaches for goodness sake. Good Luck

One would think that if you lived in Australia all your life and was interested in fossicking you would at least take the time to read the government rules and regulations regarding the hobby. The legislation in "ALL" states forbids the use of power operated equipment to extract any material whilst fossicking whether on Crown or Private Land. This includes Dredges, Power operated vacs, Power operated digging implements, Earth Moving Equipment, etc. Please take the time to read the rules before making any misinformed comments on the net, as by making these misinformed comments you only do harm for the guys out there "legally" enjoying their hobby. Metal detectors are legal all over Australia. These have nothing to do with mechanically removing soil for prospecting purposes.

Excellent video, thank you. An alternative to the snuffer is an aspirator, used in Entomology to suck up small insects. It's basically a mouth vacuum cleaner, made from a bottle with two hoses in the top. One is a simple flexible hose, up to about 1cm diameter, often less - this is where the items (insects, gold) are sucked in. The other is the same type of tube, and just inside the lid there is a filter, so you don't inhale things. I made mine from paper towels, coffee filters are better, in the shape of a bag, tied over the end of the tube, I put an open ball of wire in the bag to prevent it from collapsing. You just suck and things go into the bottle. Advantage over a snuffer is you can suck a lot more continuously and see through the clear bottle what you got. Make the filter bag big enough to allow much air to pass, and even double the bag to keep out dust. A pint bottle is not too big.

I live in Australia and you can use battery or solar equipment anywhere you want. Your not going to fire up a generator to power a tiny little vacuum pump for Gods sake. A small alarm 12 volt battery or a small motor cycle battery will be enough power for a small vacuum and would last you days before it needed to be trickle charged which could be done overnight depending where your staying. Although 1 of these batteries I mentioned would last you several days to activate a small vacuum pump.

I was over to Victoria in January and spent about ten days in the golden plains/gold country...toured Ballarat--- and of course, the magnificent Gold Museum! Some of the very first gold nuggets discovered there weighed in at 140 pounds and larger. They are a sight to behold. Anyone can apply to get a prospecting permit there, I believe it costs roughly $30 AUD for 5-10 years(?) but since the land is mainly held by government, you must gain permission in order to mine or dig for gold. Same for private properties. The geography in Victoria is an array of rocky outcrops, red soil, rolling hills, hinterlands, forests, plains, and even alpines ---Mt. Buller, i.e. The gold rush began in Victoria just a few years after the California gold rush...the gold found in Vic, Australia made the capital, Melbourne a very wealthy one indeed. Wish I didn't have to leave, as I think it would take years to fully experience the various topography of the continent, but well-worth dreaming about...

Those cracks look pretty good. I would just break apart all of the cracks, put everything into a 5 gallon bucket, take it down to the stream or apply water and just pound the hell out of it so that the gold goes down to the bottom. Afterwards, remove the big rocks and get down to a point so that you can put the remainder into a gold pan. Otherwise, I would use this method to see if gold is in the area before I started to dig and break the rocks. I used this method, it works but after you find the gold do the method I had previously stated.

Liked the video. I hope you're saving some of that gold! A hobby that pays for itself. I live in New York State and its one of the only places in America where you cant gold hunt. It is illegal to keep any gold you find here!. Makes you wonder why that is... Maybe there is a ton of gold here and they want to save it for later. Gold is the most magical metal.

Thanks for watching Stefan. Pity about the regulation over there in New York State and like yourself cannot understand why this would be the case. We seem to be a little bit luckier in regard to these regulations over her in Australia. All the very best, Wal

Hi Stefan Predersen-I also live in NY and when you purchase property it says in the contract (legal bar contracts) that you do not own any mineral rights to the land you own. Any minerals belong to municipalities or something like that. Me I think it is just a simple way to rob someone who has land but also finds other things on his land. Ye if oil just bubbled up on my land it would not be mine to sell. Good old NYS ha! Yea right.

Hope you enjoyed the vid lMagof. We find it easier to just blow in the tube when necessary, as switching the pumps on and off, or having things like batteries going flat can be a pain. All the best and hope the gold keeps flowing...Cheers Wal.

Hi all we were riding our harley-davidson around the south I land in NewZealand came across a family from Australia at Christmas time they fly over same time every year and go gold hunting up this river we got on quite well with them so the father took us in their camp spot and showed us a couple of jam jars fall of gold nuggets I did not believe it was gold until he drop some in my hands have always thought of them they told me about an old man that Flys over from America each year and disappears down the river for a month and pulls out 40 to 50 thousand dollars worth of gold and Flys back real amazing so we got a tin plate and went panning in my harley leathers for about 20 minutes next to the river had little pieces of gold in the bottom they told about 30 dollars worth also some young guys came over to have a look at our harley got talking to them they don't work they just go down the river pan gold when they need supplies beer and smokes we are going to go back down and stay with them for a summer dig out gold around the rocks in the river
