The Biggest Gold is in the Deepest Crevices!

[@shanbadg697]

I’ve been a watcher. I’m terminally ill, something the size of the gold you’re panning, is trying to kill me. I’ve always wanted to sit by a river and pan. The ‘gold fever’ is real, from your enthusiasm and the hope for one more pan full of gold. As a former police officer, I’ve seen drug users searching the carpet for a ‘rock’ they may dropped. Alcoholics, tipping that bottle for the last taste.

[@fit_pharmd4830]

Yes the collabs with Jason mesh so well! I’m sure timing them is difficult but we as fans love them!!!!

[@billnott5811]

Love your videos Dan, and they’re really inspiring me ! I live in Willow Alaska and i’ve been morbid obese for well over a decade.. 8 months ago I was 700 lb and bedridden. Since then I’ve lost 240 pounds and I’m walking again. I live in Alaska and used to prospect when I was a kid with my dad but haven’t since then, but now thanks to channels like yours I’m getting gold fever again and looking forward to getting back out in this beautiful state and hunt for gold again ! Thank you for your good nature and awesome content 😊

[@johnbrown-of1mo]

Hey there Bill, great to see you here. Had to say hi, I watch your channel and am a fan of what you are doing and your hard work and great personality. Keep it up my friend, you're doing great for yourself as well as many others that you inspire.

[@micahpaul20]

Jason seems like such a good dude like you Dan. Every time I see him in other peoples videos he just seems so genuine.

[@EM-ig7ib]

I love these videos where you and Jason collaborate. Especially when Jason takes the concentrates back and assays them. You guys rock!

[@Kisai_Yuki]

25:55 "Some people like listen to me talk" , you're right actually. Some KZbinr's have a very chill fun voice and you can listen to them talk about anything they're excited about cause it gives a happy vibe.

[@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN]

I mainly watch your channel be cause you don't just talk, you explain what your doing, what your looking for and why. That is very helpful information. So no you don't talk to much at all! and your voice is pleasant to listen to besides all the information you share. It's nice learning from you. Thank you Dan. ♥

[@PaulSimmons-l4j]

I sure enjoy your vdos and your plasent talk that makes me feel like I am there with you. I am 92 and I am no longer able to get out and have the fun you are having but I enjoy the fun you have.

[@joelbrim4jesus]

You know what makes this channel awesome? It’s Dan Hurd. He is just the coolest, funniest, educator and really inspires me to learn and enjoy prospecting. Thank Dan and Jason!

[@christianjimbomb8204]

Thank you Dan for letting Jason in You guy's are great together. You help each other so much. I watch Jason and you because of each other.... great videos both of you. Jason was in Africa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

[@cheekysaver]

I love how we can see a pro go at it all day in a hot spot and see the value. It is like the expectations of a fantasy vs the reality of what is real.

[@genegill3939]

Àaaaaaaa

[@vicferrari9380]

I love to hear you talking. We learn so much

[@curtis6615]

I appreciate it when you stated the value of your finds for the day, adds content for me anyway, thanks Dan......

[@craftsmanwoodturner]

14:55 I agree with you, Dan: I love a 15 inch deep pan too - especially with ham and pineapple!

[@mountain_girl]

Jason always seems like a genuine, down-to-earth kinda guy. Great collab.

[@crownic]

Love seeing vids with Jason he's one of my favourites. Great video guys

[@Sticks017]

Hell ya, Im so happy to see a video with Jason. Even cooler hes doing river panning

[@Alondro77]

I FINALLY confirmed hard rock gold in NJ! It was just two tiny pieces from a little stream in the mountains, but it was CRYSTALLINE gold! Meaning, it had to have recently weathered out of the native rock, which in that area is a complex mix of EVERYTHING since it's a geologically tortured area where the plates collided and tore apart several times. It's part of the ridge that stretches into Odgensburg and Franklin Furnace.

[@dwaynesimons-d2c]

You guys are a good match, must be fun. Jason is a great friend.

[@andrewthompson7022]

It’s not bad to have a hobby that gives you a little cash, joy, and the ability to produce great content. Keep it up Dan!

[@SarahHanna-s2c]

It's awesome to see two legends together again. Love the video

[@Zinginaround1]

I love Jason, he helps everyone . I love you too Dan, all you panning and gold guys are so fun to watch.

[@davidoconn9352]

Thanks Dan and Jason... Got two for one today!!!

[@dondavis5633]

The best thing about these videos is not the gold, though that's pretty cool to have. The best thing about these videos is your enthusiasm, positive attitude, and the camaraderie between you and Jason. It was these things that earned you my subscription and keep me coming back. Thanks, Dan!

Dan: The double stitched knee pockets of your trousers...Cut a piece of rubber floor padding, fold/compress and feed it in the bott vent...expand it out flat....built in knee pads.. I don't notice them while walking, but nice for kneeling...Try it! I can cut you some if you want..or sent you pic.s of how to! OHH YA...Pam washes my trousers with the pads in, no problem!

[@mikeford963]

Most companies like Carhartt, Dakota, etc, actually make kneepad inserts for those styles of work pants.

[@eden41471]

That’ll be good for construction/flooring as well. 😊

[@thecrowcook]

Ir if you're looking for something that protects your pants I *highly* recommend arcteryx leaf kneepads, best pads I've ever worn

[@mikeford963]

@@thecrowcook I built my own. Two thicknesses of leather, (7/8oz and 10/12oz) with 1/2" closed cell foam inside. Sooo much more comfortable than most commercially available ones.

[@markpashia7067]

I was shingle roofing when I married my first wife. she took bath towels cut up and folded abut four layers thick and sewed them into the area just below the knees of my Levi jeans. Could not see them from outside but man did they feel good for working without the straps of regular knee pads cutting into the back of the leg. As the jean material wore though she would sew a patch to the outside. Did not look fancy but got a lot more life out of them while still being as comfortable as anything else I had used. Working piecework I made a lot of money that way.

[@williamsnyder1205]

That's what matters, you &Jason had a fantastic day!! Thanks for letting us tag along, till next time, peace ✌ out my friend

[@kellyfoster8903]

So glad the weather is warming up up there. Happy to see all the new content. Wont be missing one minute of it all.

Great buddy to find gold with like his sense of humor.

[@260grew]

Dan...nice seeing you out panning with a good friend

[@LofusYanchi-jt1yp]

Good to see you out on the Fraser having fun again Dan. While recently watching a spaghetti western one of their theme songs was The Ecstasy Of Gold ...that would be great music for a pan reveal.

[@tinkering123]

Kool to see these 2 together. Both good channels.

[@michealklonowski5267]

yes sir fun with friends on the Frazier River thank you for sharing the adventure and information and experiences 😅😅😅

[@jrod9560]

Such a fun video to watch!!! You 2 should do like a 5 day Pan a Thon there and see what comes of it!!!! Camp out and trade stories by the fire after each day of nuggets!!!

I don't normally skip adverts on my favourite KZbinrs but it was over 1 and a half hours and that was just 1 of 2 . Good to see another Collab 😊

[@ElicBehexan]

Haven't really started my day, despite being up a couple of hours. But I get to watching videos and forget to eat or take meds. Yesterday I went out to a brewery and did a reunion of my high school. The whole school. There were probably 40 people tops. I mean, I'm 70 and I was probably the youngest person there... I'm in Texas and we had a cold front yesterday, the warmest it got was 71, and that was about mid-morning. It was a blowing 60 something, then the rain came. We had one hard cloud burst during the reunion, but we were in a covered area. When I drove home - a 30 mile trip - I did hit a couple of light rains. Then, about 9:30 the sky opened up. I was glad I was home. I brought the old dog (15) in. Right now it is 60. I know, I hear you "But 60 isn't cold!" Lets remember in Texas we have already hit a low 90s! (I'll try to figure out the centigrade. 60 F =15 C 90 F =32 C)

[@j.w.3345]

My 10 year old grandson in VT has a small river going through his back yard. It does flood from time to time. I know VT has some small bits of gold, so I got him a nice panning kit. He loves your videos and can't wait to try his luck this summer.

[@acubsshadow3750]

DAN!! LOOK at 10:40 to 10:42 in this vid after you spilled your shovel material the second time there is a nugget on the ground. SPOT ON just like u described it would look like if u found one, being flat but with thickness, rounded by the river. Am i crazy?? lol Someone please look! It’s beautiful!!

[@HoldTheDoorCollectibles]

Appreciate the instructional aspect of your videos ! Haven’t panned yet but looking forward to trying at the nearest panning reserve soon

[@tyjames9921]

The tip about when you stop panning when you see the middle ridge popping out. Quite useful to amateur panners. At first you don't know how aggressive to be and when to do stuff properly. Been watching since the beginning Dan..one day I'll get you to sign my Garret lol

[@Garydigsit]

[@robertslusser6753]

I was watching an Australian made video a few days ago in which they were using heavy machinery and metal detectors working on old timers gold mines. They were finding fist size pieces of gold, one of which was +/- 75 ounces. Just thought of that and hoping that someday you'll get such a large nugget on your Pickerton claim. I really enjoy and look forward to each one of your video's and also the one's with Jason.

[@steffensen907]

Hi Dan, this is Daniel. Was watching the video. Crevice full of gold. You looked so excited. Hope that will help you feel better. Good memories

[@victorperras3815]

Good to see you both. Have fun

[@brucesweatte3000]

A lot of those Boulders could be moved with a small hydraulic bottle jack or even an old scissors Jack from like a Toyota or something which would be relatively light to carry around I moved a lot of heavy rocks with the scissor jack which actually works better than the hydraulic, most of which only work vertically where as the scissor jack will work at any angle, just a thought. PS really enjoy all of your content

[@Gardeningchristine]

Don’t even bother watching the video first, just thumbs up because you know it’s gonna be great.!!

[@THExBIGxBADxWOLF93]

Hey Dan huge fan just curious could you do a video on. Like when you find gold in a spot how to know if you should dig it out or move on because I’ve found like 10 specs in my pan but didn’t know if it was worth to keep investigating or if I should move on to find more specs or flakes in a pan? I’ve found like 20 fines in a pan before but from watching so much not really sure thank you for the great videos!! Learning a lot from you!

[@THExBIGxBADxWOLF93]

I’ve watched the older videos he explains this lol 😂

[@gamingenius]

[@grasshoppercrews1296]

A little less talk and a lot more action Dan 😂😂😂, great time watching y'all !!

[@doctorofart]

The bigger the boulders, the bigger the gold. The boulders generally get bigger as you go up the mountain.

[@ericlichti1627]

YUP! It is worth the extra effort to drag a 5 foot pry bar/come along and straps with ya so you can get gravels from underneath boulders..

[@doctorofart]

@@ericlichti1627 their is a reason the nuggets and boulders get bigger as you go up the mountain. It makes no sense if you are following modern geology’s theories

[@ericlichti1627]

@@doctorofart When I dredged in the 70's We had a practice to dredge behind/around the boulders then winch/lever en out of the way.....The gold seamed to sift its way under... I recon the boulders form and eddy current during flood stage....... I miss those dredging days!

[@doctorofart]

@@ericlichti1627 ahhhh, you are discovering the mystery. The gold wasn’t washed into place with water. Geology is wrong in that. In fact erosion and glaciers do relatively little, compared to what is thought.

[@TheLonelyMiner]

Good stuff Dan!!!

[@Ang85323]

❤ something about panning ❤ so relaxing ❤

Theres placer in the creeks of your part of washinton similkameen skagit and most coming outvof the north in between them.

[@hermanprez]

In Granite Basin in California the creek ran over bedrock with shallow holes. In those holes I found 7 specimens that looked like cornflakes. This was in about 5 feet length of the river. Haven't been back yet.

Interesting to watch both shows. In the future we will all have our own live streaming shows... 24/7

[@NVMDSTEvil]

Hey dan, maybe a dumb suggestion but how about making a long tube so you can reach out into the water and try sucking from random cracks/etc while standing on dry ground? Might take a bit of thinking on how to get enough vacuum power from a milwaukee battery setup or something but maybe something to try. Maybe a lift pump setup with foot valves internally then you could just pull and push to pump on it like a yaggi but you dont have to pull it out every time.

[@denneberg]

Nice! Beautiful surroundings

[@ericlichti1627]

Dan: At the end of the day, I take the kids and slowly run a little water over the bedrock where we have been working...Surprising how much gold we find that way...

I would think that the closer to the bottom of the river bed one gets, the more gold one would potentially be able to find.

[@masterg6754]

you should bring something that you can make a little reservoir to pan out of that is light so you don't have to go down to the water level

[@mio.giardino]

You should bring a 1” paint brush to brush out the crevices? I’m loving these videos, love seeing the adventure 😉 Be safe Dan.❤
