[Haydo1978]

Ok , to start , you are a legend prospector!! You could make more money from taking people like me on gold tours !! Lol , love watching all your vids ! I'm only a hack , but love the hunt ! I got two questions for you first , whats a good detector to start with with is the mine lab 3000 any good ?? An two why do you need to go so deep etc , can't your detector go that deep ?? Thanks and please write back !!

[thefightdoctor67]

If that 4oz baby wasn't a monster, I would love to see what you consider one to be. Way to go, good to see you can still find colour where the old guy's missed it.

[Jbacks57]

Love your videos--- they've inspired me and my brother to plan a 3-month trip to WA (from Colorado!) armed with GPX 5000s over your winter in '13 after I retire. Keep them coming!

[gonefishin1977]

RAPE & PILLAGE...Show some fuckin respect, that shits UN-AUSTRALIAN and disrespects us all. You are the difference between fishing the local wharf and a Japannese Whaling Cannery. No respect, rape and pillage. NOT COOL MATE.

[zaqqaz22]

@gonefishin1977 This place had already been pot-holed and turned upside down during the gold rush era. As a result the habitat had been completely messed up, noxious weeds and rabbits were the main inhabitants..The land is now fully rehabitated and revegitated with native species.. I consider myself to be more environmentally responsible than most. Despite Modern day mining regulations which require full rehabitation, I do not and would not leave a mess regardless. So there!!

@zaqqaz22 Mate im looking at purchasing a minelab X terra 705 for beach combing and also to use when i go hunting.Can i ask your advice on the X terra ,im just starting off in the game.

[bradbbs]

@gonefishin1977 Mining built Australia you stupid arrogant cock sucker.

[gonefishin1977]

@bradbbs Australia is 600 million years old ya wombat, you can see it lining the fuckin property. Or are they weeds and rabbits?

[investornator]

@gonefishin1977 your a moron,our whole country is being dug up and sold!

[topster57]

@investornator at least he australian u nob

[investornator]

@topster57 Mate what are you on about?I asked Zqqaz22 about his opinion on a Mine Lab X-terra 705 as i am just starting off in metal detection ,and i cop "im a nob"?

You have issues Mate

[max8987]

omg gimme some haha

[bradbbs]

What kind of license do you need mate to operate excavotors for gold fossicking? Here in VIC with a basic "Miners Right" you aren't allowed to use anything mechanical, everything has to be hand dug. Im not sure if that includes your own property or not

[bradbbs]

@bradbbs Sorry I just realised your in VIC too. Im guessing you have got a full on Miners License? I've been wanting to do this on my property in St Arnaud but not sure what I need

[Kable645]

@bradbbs To do the heavy work you will need to apply for a Mining Lease (even if the area is on your own property) and this can be a very time consuming excercise, especially in Vic. Once you have the lease, you will need to put forward a "Mining Proposal" to outline the work you want to do and how you will rehab it. If you want to operate in Vic, I would suggest the DPI website would be the first place to start.

[bradbbs]

@Kable645 Would I just be able to dig a large dam (which I don't really need but it would be handy to have one)? Then I could dig it out to about 2-3 meters and detect all the soil that comes out of it, as well as detect the base of the dam. Would I still need to go through all the bullshit if I did it that way? At least I wouldn't have to restore it to original condition etc but im not sure if you still need to get approval to dig a dam

[factorfakeeeee]

Make me wanna move to Australia

[BloodRain900]

one piece! =)

[cruzere120]

wow look how they raped the land for only 10 oz wonder what that land looks like now?

[sjovmaiin]

I HAVE GOLD FEWER

[MultiShitforbrains]

Great work, it's good to see that you know what you are doing, I think your the only one here on youtube that does! Over 20 years ago I caught gold fever when working in an open cut at Red hill in Heathcote. I was an apprentice fitter, every time the digger shit it's self down in the hole, I would go sniffing around the lead for some color and site supervisor would chase me away lol. Damn geology, there is so much to learn! Keep up your good work.

[joao130669]

[zaqqaz22]

@gorelinkov This is just a hobby for me, and yes I do have a real job. (geologist).. there are plenty of gold areas in S. Aust. all through the Olary provence, even just out of Adelaide around Mt Crawford.. Echunga, the Barossa is an old gold field..

[bigsinnic]

@zaqqaz22 One thing you forgot to mention, did you leave the area as you found it ? Or destroyed as per the video ?

[davidlee110]

@zaqqaz22 Where you mostly find gold?

[themightyjoseph]

@zaqqaz22 I always wanted to move to Australia and look for gold. Could you give me some helpful advice?

[Killinemdead1]

[zaqqaz22]

@Killinemdead1 ?? pardon?? maybe you should see a doctor. Or maybe a vet??

[dudeskut]

what does a metal detector cost sir?

[zaqqaz22]

@dudeskut you can get a cheap piece of crap for like $100, or you can buy a real good one for $5000.. the good ones are worth the money if you are serious.. If starting I would buy a good one, seond hand.. $1000 to $2000

[drumminghunter]

Nice work!

[asseder1]

[BUNNIEZHELL]

@TheM0pp1 minelab 4000

[zaqqaz22]

@TheM0pp1 Minelab 4000, just got a 5000, hav'nt used it much so far..

[Daedalu]

This guy knows what he is doing , and does it well. It looks like he has spent a lifetime learning what he does so I would watch and learn , not mouth him and let all know what you do not .
