[@passthetomahawk]

Its Nov 2021 now im just scrolling through your channels videos watching and rewatching old videos this beautiful blue patch on this claim deserves to be commented on. i know its not easy to film and work and be productive but i appreciate all your hard work. i learn alot from you and apply it to my area, the beautiful central coast of california. So Thank You!!!

[@ncprospectors]

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

[@MarkTChristy]

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

[@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

[@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)_/¯

[@johndurkee7806]

Thank you so much for the inspiration. Just bought a claim in Wyoming. My wife didn't even leave me. I'm excited. Thanks

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Beautiful country and rocks. Thanks for taking us along.

[@geraldoreyes6146]

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

[@FG564GHJU7]

Awesome job getting your Dana Blue! Cool Dude!

[@JoannaLamont333]

That blue is absolutely beautiful. That was a lot of work, but wow, what a good return.

[@kit_nova]

That rock is beautiful! I was saying "WOW" multiple times when you were doing the reveals

[@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.

[@stanrubin1206]

Dan I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy your videos you post . You explain things in a manner that is both entertaining and informative.

[@maxcap60]

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

[@moonuni]

Now that's pretty bluestone.

[@Luciferwinchester]

Your ocean picture stone videos are my favorite!

[@gordondeitz7838]

Gotta love it when the Dana blue comes through! That's a beautiful stone and well named👍👏

[@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.

[@dawndixon402]

Wow absolutely amazing. Not only the ocean picture stone. The beauty of the area. But God supplying the knowledge and blessing the hospital personnel with the skill. And blessing you with healing. Wow. Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure. May God continue to bless you and your's Amen

[@statewench2828]

The valley is so beautiful. Waht a view. Great place for a rustic cabin.

[@jamesrochon2195]

Well hello, everyone! Love hearing this!

[@andie_pants]

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

[@tonykono5225]

Wow! Beautiful!

[@tonicudia1779]

Omg. What a beautiful blue. Congratulations

[@abelgarcia6562]

Its all about the Dana blue ! Great job Dan .

[@MadMarlin1964]

Awww, I sort of expected to see Dana too, with the blue!

[@phyllisparmenter818]

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!!

[@randyjones9192]

My new favourite shade of blue Wicked day. Congrats

[@davecapps6006]

Dan, after watching this vid it is great to see you being well recovered from your recent surgery. Well done and good job. Thanks for posting your adventures, I look tired to each video

[@davecapps6006]

Uhh forward , not tired. Sorry

[@pattimessenger6214]

[@pattytracey3131]

[@bigbumma4757]

idk what is it about you but i just adore you and your family. so sweet and genuine, living your dreams together, it’s amazing and i’m so so happy for you and how far you guys have come, especially you with your past health issues. makes me so happy to see that beard growing longer and longer each video :)

[@normanshute7162]

Congrats on finding more Dana blue stone and looking forward to more videos.

[@grahamallen3941]

Wow Dan, that stone is just superb. What a fantastic colour. Really pleased that you managed to dig further back and upwards to find that fabulous stone. Really looking forward to seeing what you get out of today’s pickings! Take care and be safe, best regards from Graham, watching in the UK.👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@MrYabbie]

Been loving watching your videos. You and your wife seem like a lovely couple. Very glad to see you are finding success in what can be a fickle hobby ;)

[@troynixon9467]

This is a good mountain to move for your wife . Glad to see your doing well !

[@kellycollins3516]

How are you Dan? Daina Blue, I love it! Thank You, this, as they all are, GREAT VIDEOS! God Bless to you and yours....

[@darrinwilliams5715]

That material is absolutely killer. Very cool Dan😎

[@ChrisR_4812]

I think it's great that you named that deep colored Ocean Picture stone after your wife. I know she found that particular vein, but still nice you named it after Dayna. I'm glad you are able to live out your dream of mining and prospecting. You seem like a very nice person with a good heart (no pun intended). I wish you the best in your mining and prospecting efforts. Take care!

[@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!!!

[@glendadalejones3753]

These videos are Always a real pleasure to watch 🥰🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@maccafan10]

He should be on tv. Great personality.

[@billford110]

Ocean picture stone that is a very beautiful stone an miss Dana thank you for allowing Mr Dan to do the videos

[@SunnybraeCroft]

Hi Dan, I have been using feather and wedges for some years to move some enormous rocks on my croft in Skye. The satisfying sound of these simple tools at work is brilliant

[@Wolf-nv4tx]

Hi Dan! it's about time you got out and about! Ha! Thanks for the video!!

[@patriciahazeltine9986]

I will have to order more, hopefully a piece more blue... as the beard grows, you are just looking more and more healthy!

[@lazyjackass77]

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

[@chrisheiberger3685]

Just love coming along on your adventures! Great finds!

[@joshdyer3670]

Heck of a score Dan 👍🏻 that stuff is beautiful

[@jimlancaster6120]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@davemi00]

Luv the New Intro music ! Not to mention that beautiful ocean blue !

[@-Jeremiah-]

As always, Love the content Dan. Glad you are continuing to recover nicely! That looked like a lot of work.

[@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..

[@marktompkinstreasurehunter4363]

That is some beautiful stone Dan Great job. Keep up the great work.

[@NWRockExplorer]

That Dayna Blue Is some amazing material, the color is just so saturated!! Seems like everything is coming together on your claims, can't wait to see what is to come in the future⛏😃

[@junemelin]

Always wish you the best esp. for this beautiful blue rock….great prospecting

[@ExploringwithNaomie]

[@szbyzan]

Thank you for taking us along. I would love to have a piece but will have to settle for a chip bag if there are any left when I get paid.

[@4seasonspix]

9:02 and seconds later looks like a glacier scene - so gorgeous 💙

[@cadleo]

Great vid! Love those stones. That seam is gonna be amazing from the look of it.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

Dana Blue stone and The Claim starting to pay off, gonna be a good 2nd half of 2021 for you, Congrats

[@92bagder]

Those feather and wedges are such a simple and cool piece of equipment.

[@davidkirkman2223]

Ocean picture stone is a very beautiful stone. I wish my dad was still around to see it.

[@bretcalobeer5152]

Nice collection of that blue!

[@michaelb.42112]

I'm new to your channel. I love the gold shows on TV, so this was how I found you. I like your music and overall vibe.

[@CrimFerret]

The best of that was every bit as beautiful as good quality gem silica. I'm not surprised it sells well.

[@janettehumphrey9751]

Best video yet, of the Dayna Blue.

[@LuckyCoinFrog]

Some of those big chunks would be amazing specimens with the host still on it. I can imagine some artists and collectors would make great big displays out of them.

[@Timothious_Maximus]

Woo, gotta love that blue seam.

[@downtoride6757]

Got to say I just found your channel and I'm hooked. Great, clean, educational content. Love it and what you do. Thanks for posting all your adventures

[@tlcferguson8243]

Dan I loooove jewelry and love seeing where stones come from. Your videos are always educational and fun to watch. Thanks for another good one.

[@kencarbon2346]

Enjoyed watching your video nice Dana blue!🙂

[@peterstevens4223]

Good morning from Auckland, New Zealand ...

[@debvit2353]

That’s a lot of hard work Dan.

[@travelamma2779]

Just beautiful. A lot of work, but a great payday. And I think you have a bit of P. T, Barnum showmanship, as well!

[@mikesillett1481]

A great channel. Really! You, a guy from West Virginia and a prospector from western Pennsylvania are my 'go to' entertainment. Anyway, I saved on the purchase of two classifiers from Arbor Fabricating via your 'danhurd' code. Now I need to buy a sluice so I am looking for advise on a product - keeping in mind that I am a beginner and will be panning in a state that has only glacial gold. I am 74 but enthused by your videos. Keep it up. Mike

[@MrVentrata]

Love the Ocean Picture Stone vids.

[@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.

[@loridietrich2369]

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

[@JLSteelCrafts]

This guy is alot of fun...been watching him for awhile now 8 )

[@cflwhat]

Dan you are the man!!! Love every single one of your videos. You are so positive and upbeat! Keep up the killer work!!!

[@keithnorris5929]

Obviously love the regular Gold content, but the ocean picture stone videos are great!

[@erikdasiedusud-est6735]

Incredible and beautiful office !

[@hikingwithadhdbrain2022]

Hey Dan Hurd !! Always nice with new video from you !! Wishing you a wonderful summer !! Greetings from Norway!!

[@michaelrobertson8795]

Awesome find!!👍✌🤠

[@trevordavis2499]

Awesome! I got some OPS in a tumbler with some agates and other stuff. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep on rockin! 🤠👍

[@frankleelost2552]

Blue is my other favorite color. What a sweet find!

[@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!

[@TarnishedViking.]

Awesome looking BC.DB.OPS. young man!
