$10,000 Rock Discovered!

Found more of the Dayna Blue, BC Ocean Picture Stone. After thinking we worked out the Dayna Blue Pit completely, I decided to go a bit more aggressively into the hillside where we found this amazingly blue gemstone. After a whole lot of work I discovered that the seam actually goes back into the hillside more. Unfortunately at this point to harvest anything more it takes a whole lot of work. And looks like we have to start moving the mountain to get much deeper into this seam.

That tailgate has seen a lot of $$. Finally!, a school teacher getting well paid! Couldn't go to a better guy, and, he's getting the subscribers he deserves too.

[@shawnbaxter1001]

Kool aid blue.....oh ya! LOL Every time you went "oh ya" could see the Kool-aid guy busting out of the rock!

[@Luciferwinchester]

Your ocean picture stone videos are my favorite!

[@logresmentotum7065]

Your enthusiasm and sincerity is wonderful. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Glad to see that hill is still producing the good stuff. Another fun one Dan. Thanks for all your hard work and allowing us a piece of the claim for ourselves.

[@FG564GHJU7]

Awesome job getting your Dana Blue! Cool Dude!

[@jonpierce8342]

14:11 "look at the color!" Smears mud on it... Love that dana blue! Its good to see you are spending more time in the field. Keep up the good work!

[@andie_pants]

I love the variety of your mining endeavors. From episode to episode, we never know what we're gonna get. :-)

[@andie_pants]

@TEE PERO That's really annoying, bro.

[@MarkTChristy]

Congrats on finding more of the lovely Dana Blue!!!! It is ureal!!

[@alphauniformsierraaustrali5302]

If I got a big slab of that I could make the best coffee table you'll ever see, I miss being a stonemason

[@mackie_p]

It would be sooo much more unique than the resin tables

[@Mikkelltheimmortal]

That would be awesome to see

[@andie_pants]

A noble profession, to be sure! What caused you to stop? Hopefully retirement and not an injury.

[@thisisbeyondajoke6748]

Same stonemason/ bricklayer stopped carpel tunnel/ arthritis

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

tht would be Fn awesome to see!

[@maccafan10]

He should be on tv. Great personality.

[@geraldoreyes6146]

You have a great sense of humor. Great video, the blue looks amazing.

[@jamesrochon2195]

Well hello, everyone! Love hearing this!

Since becoming a fan about a year ago, Dan's _"Well hullo!"_ always boosts my mood. :-)

Dan, You look great!'!! You sound strong!! Your beard is really coming back thick!! The ONLY thing I don’t see is Dana and the boys. Where is everybody?? I haven’t been watching much YOU TUBE lately and I have really missed everyone. I won’t neglect this APP anymore. I will be going backward from when these have been posted but I don’t plan to miss anyone. See you every day for a while!!

[@pattytracey3131]

[@ScottishGoldHunter]

I get amazed by these every time! Never heard of ocean picture stones until you first posted on KZbin. Thank you for sharing😀⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mrscreamer379]

That's because he made them up 🤣. It's jasper. Pretty worthless, but he markets it as 'super rare ocean picture stone' and idiots seem to pay him a fortune for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@peterstevens4223]

Good morning from Auckland, New Zealand ...

[@Timothious_Maximus]

Woo, gotta love that blue seam.

[@topdownunder2011]

Well done on finding & unearthing that beautiful blue, you worked real hard for it! Thanks for sharing and keep the colour coming! All the best, Stay Safe - Cheers

[@naomiedeem50]

[@ncprospectors]

Glad to see you are healed enough to work that hard. Great video. Thanks Dan. ❤️❤️

[@joshdyer3670]

Heck of a score Dan 👍🏻 that stuff is beautiful

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

That is some beautiful rock! Very nice Dan!

[@tonykono5225]

Wow! Beautiful!

[@mikehawley43]

Never ever feel like you have to explain your finances to anyone! I love seeing you find the good stuff, I hope you make a ton of money. Keep digging, mining, cutting, and finding. Think of all those times you've been skunked or came home with a few flakes. That's great looking stone, get it to the market so it can get made into jewelery. Good job.

[@goldbunny1973]

The funniest image at 15:43 with al those wedges & chisels stuck in the rock. That really is the most beautiful stone. I hope we get to see some of it in "processed form" one day..

[@lazyjackass77]

Dan Hurd How is your heart doing? You seem to be much improved and that makes me very happy!

[@maxcap60]

when you're funny it's genuine. Also your enthusiastic, and that makes great content people wanna watch. Well done.

[@markzinzilieta8927]

Beautiful finds !

[@GoldChasers]

Amazing finds Dan!

[@brx3649]

As compared to gold prospecting Ocean Picture Stone seems "lucrative" per se. It's beautiful and I'm very fascinated by it. I'm going to watch the other video again.

[@BillMulholland1]

😯 wow! Great job Dan! 👍

[@erikdasiedusud-est6735]

Incredible and beautiful office !

[@downtoride6757]

[@chiefstacker6343]

I’m so glad my notifications worked so I didn’t miss this video. Wow what a fantastic find. I need to now go over and check your store !!! I love your OCEAN PICTURE STONE, The last chips I tumbled and polished came out awesome I need to get some more.

[@jeremiahhedeen3879]

Just like going to the ocean picture stone bank! Looking forward to more trout creek videos, you and Andy Thrax are going to kill it!!!

[@desertriderukverun1002]

Dan, another great video! Even though I'm more interesting in gold mining, I think I find this series the most enjoyable. Maybe it's the earlier videos and seeing you out with your family exploring the area, maybe it's your excitement or maybe it's just beauty of the rocks and the surrounding country side. One suggestion to make moving the larger rocks easier is if you can get your truck or a quad nearby, put a 1/4" or 3/8" masonary anchor into the rock, attach a chain and pull it out with the truck or quad. It saves a whole lot of energy and keeps you out of the fall line of the rocks as they roll down the hill. Good luck for the rest of you mining season.

[@wayneneher6362]

More Dana BLUE! YAYY!

[@loridietrich2369]

awsome Dan congratulations on the funding for your next huge project!
