The second video of the series The Art of Gold Mining by BogiZimlja.
I was overseas and left my GPX5000 with Ludwig with instructions that he keep detecting around the old Never Can Tell mine shaft. I told him the rule is 10 pieces of junk to one piece of gold.Well I was still overseas when he telephoned me one day very excited. He said the rule is 20 pieces of junk to 1 piece of gold! But he said he kept sweeping the rusty iron bits in one spot until he reached bedrock and he was still getting a loud signal. He then proceeded to blow away the last bits of sand and dust when he noticed glints of yellow stuck in the calcrete. As you can see in this clip he is showing me for the first time the golden boulder he pried out with a jackhammer and its exact position. This find is simply incredible, number one because the old mine shaft is only 3meters away and second there must have been at least a thousand prospectors hit this place with everything imaginable...it was quite windy that day and excuse the poor sound quality. Please note I hold the mining title encompassing the mine and surrounding areas before you head out there thinking to look around before asking.
This series gives a great insight into small gold mining in Western Australia
