Finding $3700 in Gold in 100 Buckets
50,519
Published 2024-04-22
The idea is simple, if I process 100 buckets of premium pay dirt from one of Australia's rich alluvial gold bearing creeks, can I recover an ounce of gold?
The gold price is over $3600 per ounce (Aus Dollars) meaning I only have to find 0.30 grams of gold in each bucket to reach my goal and make a lot of money.
100 buckets works out to be 2,000 litters of pay dirt, that's a lot of dirt, especially considering it has to be paydirt with good values in it. This will take a lot of time to complete, However, I feel like this will be well worth it!

Great video Chris. Thanks for the shout out. Really appreciate it. I canβt wait to see what you get after 100 buckets.
-
That's a really nice basket classifier!!
-
If you process 100 buckets of pre-screened material, you have actually already produced 200 buckets. You have to add the overburden to get a value per ton.

you're videos are fantastic. Zero chance of ever trying gold prospecting in my area...... but love your humor, the fact that your outdoors having fun, and doing what you enjoy. It shows in the vids and that makes them awesome dude!

Just had 4 days out in the bush! 2 days detecting for about 3Kg of scrap iron and 2 days of panning for 0.01 grams of gold fly poop. My mental health improved dramatically!

Super stoked for you guys! Bonanza City!!!

Bro, the quality of your vids have improved dramatically since I first discovered your channel a few years back! Your editing and chatter is on point and super entertaining. Thank you π

Amazing , you've taught me quite a bit, even though I'm all the way over here in Montana, but my area has a mostly or at least a lot of really fine gold . Thanks for taking us with you again , oh and I really think the no brand bucket company will surely sponsor you yet π

Hello VG, well I guess that ya know about "Murphy's Law", right? Well I've pretty much lived that all my life so that I've realized that if Murphy hadn't gotten there first they'd certainly have called it "Randy's Law" by know!!!π Good stuff for sure. Keep up the good work and vids. Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. πππ

Awesome video here Chris. Definitely awesome video of the gold and the 100 bucket challenge. Crap, I work at a manufacturing plant that deals with a alot of sand that we use for making molds to pour melted iron into and it is ridiculous of the black (burnt) sand and some of the crystal type sand that is used to make our cores for multiple products and at the end of day somehow I end up getting all of this types of loose sand in my pockets after a year of me working at this plant. And I have thought about doing an actual test to see if there is any gold in this but I don't have the right equipment to test like fine gold recovery at the moment. It would be nice if I had the equipment to do so and run tests to see about how much gold is actually going through my jobs plant.

You know that the pan classifiers fit onto the top of a bucket. If you have a bucket full of water and you place the classifier with dirt onto it it washes the dirt and gold into the bucket. The dirt displaces the water as it falls into the bucket meaning you dont have to keep pouring water into the bucket. you can wash the dirt with the classifier until you fill the bucket. Try it. Its much more friendly on the knuckles than the contraption you have there. (by the way gloves are your friends either way.)
