Prospector Finds First Source on Childhood Station
Western Australia – A local prospector has hit a milestone—discovering their first-ever Ironstone source on the same station they grew up on.
“Fifteen years ago I was riding motorbikes here. Now I’m back with Dad and Reese, pulling gold out of the rock. Full-circle stuff.”
Filmed a few years ago, the footage shows the trio uncovering an untouched Ironstone reef, rich with visible gold. Despite wind, rough ground, and basic camp setup, the discovery delivered—around 50–60 ounces after processing.
“We realised it hadn’t been touched. The old-timers missed the sweet spot. We were pulling speccies straight from the reef.”
The vlog blends nostalgia, hard work, and bush smarts. There’s also a lesson in navigation—don’t rely solely on memory or a sense of direction.
“I got lost on my own hill. Lesson learned—carry an EPIRB and mark your tracks.”
While the video quality’s patchy, the story is gold: family, persistence, and striking it lucky in a place that means everything.
“Rough footage, real story. This one’s special.”
