In Search Of: Gold (Abercrombie River, NSW)

Have that mesh grate lower into the bucket 100mm. Less chance of material missing, plus being lower in the water/bucket, you’ll wash material quicker. I’ve made one similar

Well Jason you have at least been and checked it out, it’s always been a messy spot as rubbish goes and never have I known of that particular spot producing anything but your itinerary of spots to come will give you the chance to find what your chasing I’m sure. Thanks for keeping your videos honest. I don’t ever remember seeing a video on that spot finding nuggets, maybe throw the link up. Take care mate I’ll be watching for the next one.

Hi Jason cool vid mate sad what people do to our wonderful bushland. Couple of tips mate if you want to find gold with the monster especially in NSW bedrock is were its good even just finding the heavys in crevices usually there will be gold in there too. Also if u go to bunnings an get a plastic plant pot base that fits in the top of your bucket an cut the middle out cut the mesh to suit drill some holes in the inner rim an zip tie the mesh in. It makes a bigger gauge sieve that sits in the top of your bucket. Ill try post u a pic if i can find my one 😊 Keep up the good work mate an keep digging an you will start finding the good stuff👍 live an learn

Plenty of wild pigs too particularly at mount werong ive roamed over that country for the last 40years

Cheers for the vid Jason. Looks like it would be a nice area if people did the right thing

Keeping it real, Jason. The Abercrombie River looks it takes some volumes of water in flood, unsure about nuggets flowing down with it, the Gold Monster can take the coil in the water, but the rapids across the river I'd imagine that miners of the settlement of Tuena would have worked those best sluicing, or clearing out the bedrock when low, we'd been seeing on Gadzee and Chris's recent videos about glacial till, so the gold might be tiny like flour, and whether the settlement is allowed to be detected for relics of the 1860's, but still the cricket tree stumps, and popping crease might hold gold of the $1 & $2 varieties, or better still, pre-decimal silvers... On that, have you thought of sites that may be allowed to be detected that could hold holey dollars and dumps? 1813-1829 is a fairly limiting timeline for settlements that could be investigated to be included, otherwise rushes from 1855 where Sydney Mint half and full gold sovereigns could gave been dropped, when buying a tray of eggs or crate of gin was a fortune, in times of shortage there was no shortage of extreme price-gougers but for some at times, was reasons for celebrating, or in hard times, pockets fray and dispose of their contents, sending the unlucky digger to one of Caroline Chisholm's "shelter sheds" for susso, sustenance. We used that idea of shelter sheds at our primary school for a tin-roofed big room with just Cyclone fencing barn doors on the one side, the rest inside, exposed stud-work weatherboard, and seating along the inside walls. The other similar room on the other side of the canteen in the middle, was simply called "the annexe". As an immigrant child from Croatia, wr didn't take it for granted, but that the use of these words often had fascinating histories. Cheers, happy trails, good luck and safety first.

Hey matie, i would check those rocks you called hot rocks, check to see if they are magnetics, if not they could have gold, we found black rocks with gold in them..

I've never been because I trusted Adventure golds interpretation of Abercrombie.veey little. But surrounding area can come up hill end level gold if ya keep working their

Geeeezzzzz Jason, aren’t your feet cold in that water? Good vid mate.

Very sad to see public camp grounds trashed. Sofala camping surrounds maybe fenced off if this behaviour continues .

When i go camping nowadays i seem to spend half my weekend picking up broken glass , shame on these dills .
