Check Out What Was Hiding In This Crevice!!

[@MrIhuntcats]

One thing that I find refreshing about you, Dan... is that you're grateful for what you find and aren't cursing your claim. You go out in hopes of finding gold, but don't get mad if you don't find any or just a little. I really enjoy your channel, sir

[@justsitting1]

There is something wonderfully peaceful watching someone sitting alone in a beautiful setting panning.

[@davetaylor6721]

Dan, you are one of the few pillars of sanity that have kept the world sane the last few months. Thank you for this, and every other, video you have (ever) posted!

[@megansmith1382]

Everytime you say, "I hope to earn your subscription today" makes me wish I could subscribe every time haha

Lmao so, true

[@ridebmxdirt]

Such a humble man, we need more people like you in this world Dan! You got me heavy into it, first day out I found some good pickers and a really good spot to dig on our new claim. The whole time I’m telling my wife “this is where Dan would dig I know it” lol

[@goldminer71188]

How could we not enjoy spending the day with you. You educate us every show. You are teaching us rookies the things we need to look for. Funny story for your. I was an underground good miner for 26 years in Nevada. Could have cared Lee's about the gold. Now years later I want to go pan gold. Thank you Dan love your channel

[@myleshubert3540]

Been so down in the dumps... thank you for your videos and channel in general. Interesting and we'll done content. Love u Dan Hurd

[@yoast1946]

Hey Dan, I'm new to your channel and I've been watching many of your videos already. You are the Bob Ross of prospecting, the David Attenborough of gold. I really like the relaxed atmosphere of your videos. Please keep doing what you do!

[@martinmontez93]

Dan i love what you do. Very informative

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Something about the way the Fraser flows, that I find mesmerizing. I could watch that river all day long. I'm close to the South Branch of the Potomac. It's a pretty river, but nothing like the Fraser. Nice gold out there too.

[@benmax10]

Hey Dan just wanted to let you know that I went out and tried to find gold yesterday and found my first one it was fun and thanks for making good vids that inspires people like me

[@llchapman1234]

Congratulations Ben! How exciting!🎆

[@ilonamollema6467]

Congratulations Ben! That is amazing! You must have felt so excited when you found the gold!💛

Good luck to ya now that you have been bitten by the snake. It can be the most addicting hobby known!

[@jwcinc12]

I like your thinking and reasoning. Part science and part intuition. I understand not having the steam. I like to hunt for rocks and lately with an achy knee, that will only get better if I have surgery, I can't walk much and "run out of steam," like you say.

[@vickygoodwin9771]

Allegedly, I am also an adult.

[@cad-ik9ff]

I love it when Dan sits buy the river panning and looks at the camera for a split second and back down to the pan. It so reminds me of when Tom Hanks is trying to start a fire in the movie cast away, and he starts talking to Wilson... Dan you should name your camera Wilson, would be awesome.

[@jamesfloyd6693]

You earned my subscription today. I found a few of your older videos and fell down the golden rabbit hole. Seeing you post just two days ago made me realize this is something I could follow on the regular

[@Danhurd]

Welcome tot he channel I try to post 1-2 videos per week.

[@jamesduncan8083]

So glad you can get out and pan, it helps those of us locked down. I wish you good health and great gold.

[@stevencirrito5422]

Thanks!

[@Luke-pb9dx]

I never comment on youtube videos, but in a time of uncertainty and negativity everywhere it's a relief to find such a relaxing video to watch, keep it up man. Definitely earned a subscriber today

[@nathanielanderson4898]

I was socially distanced before the pandemic as well. I enjoy being around people, but I also love being by myself out in nature.

[@brianlebrun2382]

Dan, be very happy that you've found those pickers. Here in SW Florida the only gold we have here is when the tourists drop their rings!

[@llchapman1234]

Thanks for taking us along on another one of your adventures. It's always nice hanging out with you 💕

[@mwfrease]

I have not tried panning for gold. It looks interesting. After watching you video, I have concluded that you have the patience of Job. It would be difficult for me to sift through all that dirt for a few grains of gold. I guess that is what you have to do in order to find the big nuggets. You fit the part of what I imagine a gold prospector would look like. All you need is a donkey or borough carrying a few burlap sacks and a pick axe. I like the scenery too.

[@davidvilla3243]

Thank you for the return trip hoping to catch the next handful of pickers.Those views alone are worth the gold recovered. Keep safe and stay healthy my friend David out.

[@johnmoorman5200]

I enjoy watching your videos there fun and very educational thank you dan

[@mikeplant9163]

beautiful day, beautiful gold and great company; what more do we need. Thanks Dan.

[@Danhurd]

Couldn't agree more!

[@A.MacDonald]

Hi Dan, I really hope you find the spot that seems to be the source. I really love watching your videos. Here in the UK as you may already know, there is nothing like the gold you find in BC. Although small amounts can be found in some rivers (I have read). The best place would be Wales and some parts of Scotland. The amount of gold found from panning is often small and - similar to other hobbies - much of the enjoyment in panning is derived from the act itself. Besides, in the UK any gold found is often Crown estate owned anyway, so selling would be "Technically" in breach of Crown estate regs. (Boooo!) So for now, I'm happy to watch you do all the legwork. Carry On Sir...

[@jeffcaine6221]

Beautiful day on pickerton!! Looks like the nice weather might be there to stay i was blessed with 3 amazing days in Kamloops. Cant wait to go back!

[@stevencirrito5422]

I’ve been binging your videos lately. Just thought I’d let you know because you make the best prospecting videos

[@wadeunderhile7977]

Dan your gold is a beautiful day in a beautiful place and taking us with you.

[@mikelouis9389]

Good job Dan, that big flake stuck to the cobble was an excellent snag. Looking at that beautiful river gets me to wondering if the river might not have some delicious finny meals swimming about? Good gold and tasty fish, can't beat that with a stick!

[@TimIrvin]

Do you ever bring a fishing pole and try to catch dinner while you're prospecting? What's the predominant fish in that river?

[@Danhurd]

I don't, my dad likes fishing tho. Fraser has salmon, steal-head, trout, sturgeon and probably lots more.

[@RalphReagan]

@@Danhurd you should have him fry them up riverside.

[@alfatherodinthegodofwisdom7033]

Hello from Italy 👋👋👋 I love your video

[@RICDirector]

Dan, there's not a video that goes by with you that I fail to wind up smiling and just feeling more positive from watching your simple joy in being there and doing what you do. Thank you so much! You can turn a bad day around just by posting. :) PS...ever used one of Fossicker.com 's rectangular green pans? I have one I picked up at a yard sale and don't really know how to get the best out of it.....?

You help ease me into a nice calm place every night. Love your videos and you have earned my subscription. lol Always been fascinated by geology and minerology so this just satisfies and satiates my curiosity lol

At this point, the real gold is enjoying nature and having fun with what you love, I can't even go out for a walk, only to the pharmacy or to buy groceries, nothing else. Great video with good chunky gold. :D

[@saintsfan39475]

You're the best social distancer out there Dan. If everyone would do the same...well, that would ruin nature. Keep up the good work. Wishing you good health.

We went panning on Wildcat Creek in the Cherokee National Forest yesterday. My oldest son found his first piece of gold, a bit of fine wire. All in all a fun day, but the hike up the ridge back to the car reminded me I'm not as young as I used to be.

[@paulconnell2385]

Dan, your blessed to have sooooo many potential crevasses......not so much here in Melbourne hahaha. Can't wait to be able to go up bush to search up Heathcote way.

Great job Dan, see you on the next one.

[@DarkSchneider7]

I have a question.. i found area with limonite with gold samples. flakes or micro grain..do you think i can determine if its worth collecting a bucket full of samples and try to value what i can process ... and see if its worth pursing it? The area is about to be wiped by housing development.. i was doing research on the land.. was mainly used for iron ore .. and the gold was determined not valuable enough to extract due to the type of gold it was.. being small flakes or micro gain.

I search coins for "treasures" and one of your videos was suggested by KZbin. You've more than earned my subscription and I've been binge-watching your videos for 3 days now lol! Entertaining, fun and informative. I like the word "pickers" for what I understand to be a piece of gold between a nugget and a flake. I've watched enough of your videos to hear your indecision of what to call gold pieces in a size between piker and flake. What's your feeling about the word "picklet? ...pronounced like piglet..Keep up the great content Dan! (now back to my binge-ing... ;)

Pickerton never disappoints!💛 Even with this small amount of pickers, you still find them!👍🏻 And that's not "tea bag".😉 Are you never afraid of losing your phone? Every time I see you bend over to start panning, I'm waiting for the sound of your phone falling in the river.😅 Really hope you'll get your steam back soon!😘 Any idea when you get your valve surgery?

[@brianconnell9601]

A small inner tube for a trailer tire makes a great seat when panning!!

[@jameslanning8405]

Looking at that crevasse, I noticed several cracks in the stones. A hammer and chisel could break apart the smaller stones, to sizes you could handle and clear the way for better clearing of the gold! It that against the rules? To break the stone apart? Now, you had such a beautiful day... Still lots of sunshine and a few pickers for the cache'. Now there was where you needed a fishing pole and a couple of worms! Just to sit and relax, and maybe catch dinner to boot!

[@craigparry5648]

Looks like you've ran out of Dan Hurd buckets 😊. When you get the boiler fired back up, it would be good to get your hand dredge /sucker down the hole in that crevice to reveal its hidden treasure. Have you fished there ?,every fishing doc/show regarding the white Sturgeon, all come back to the Fraser River, everytime you mention your pickerton claim I wonder if your going to cast in a line, thou from what I've seen they grow big up your neck of the woods.

Milwaukee cordless tools makes a battery operated vacuum cleaner that would make short order of the loose stuff. It is surprisingly light and powerful enough to take with you. You can solar power charge the lithium batteries. I used to do auto glass and would vacuum up broken glass on a regular basis. It could suck up loose change as well.
