The Search for Gold Bearing Ore: Following the Trail of Alluvial Gold to the Hills!!
I recently discovered the richest gold deposit of my prospecting career, but what made this discovery so unique was the size of the gold found. Half ounce chunks of alluvial gold nuggets. It's taken me years to unlock a location like this, but it turns out I wasn't the first one on the scene, perhaps in modern times but after finding an alluvial drift mine on the very same corner that I'd found ounces of gold it became apparent that the miners of old had been there and got me thinking more seriously about the source of this gold.
From my experience large gold doesn't travel far in the rivers and creeks never more than a few hundred metres and with some of the gold being more crystalline in nature it was time to head for the hills to see what's hiding in the surrounding area. With old hard rock mines in the area I had to go in and test some of the ore using a dolly pot and pan and perhaps just maybe we can find where all this gold is coming from.

Recovering rich Gold Deposits amongst the boulders of this Tasmanian river!!

After a brutal day one of prospecting, I recharge and head out again on day two into Tasmania's north west to search for good gold deposits. I'll be searching a river loaded with gold, one of my favourites that always gives consistent results. Once I locate a pay streak with good gold I'll get to work recovering as much as I can from the fractured bedrock that this river is renowned for. MY PAT...
The Dark side of Gold Mining: Surviving the wild, unforgiving Outdoors!!

In the search for gold sometimes we encounter a few obstacles along the way. This trip was like no other what was supposed to be a simple trip into a new area to search for new gold deposits, things quickly turn for the worse. The overgrowth of an old prospectors trail and heavy winter rains suddenly have me in survival mode wondering whether I'll make it out alive. MY PATREON: www.patreon.com/...

    I'll bet that you felt like you were floating for a little bit there when you took that pack off . If you plan on going back to that area you should stash your Gully pot if you plan on doing more crushing, that way you don't have to tote it iout and back in.

    Bro said, "I wouldn't call these nuggets, ..." haaWHAT!?!? Beautiful adventure Leo. Definitely take some 1gal/4L, or thereabouts, bags with you. Ziploc freezer bags, small stuffsacks, etc. And some way to label them including GPS. This allows you to isolate samples for further romps in the hills.

    A trick I learned working in heat. One regular aspirin. Opens up veins. Rinses out muscles to avoid soreness next day. And helps with sweating. Lots of water. If you quit sweating you are in trouble with danger of heat stroke. If available bananas and melons are high potassium. Or salt tablets hiking. Again lots of wster
