Thanks!

[@donrock777]

Great video again Dan. Love seeing you explain in detail how you abide by the rules and regulations in B.C. Can't wait for Tuesday to see part 2, and very curious to see what the miners moss holds for color in the hopper after a clean out. Keep em coming👍

[@Danhurd]

Thanks!

You young people are so LUCKY to have Mr Hurd for a teacher . What this man does not know about prospecting does not exist .

[@Danhurd]

I wish my knowledge was that complete

[@oopsimdead2578]

been watching so many of these gold panning videos over the past couple of years. i think i'm finally going to pull the trigger and pick up some prospecting things and start panning for gold here in my state. i guess there's actually gold here, so that's cool. i could use a new hobby and this just seems like a nice way to get out in nature and have some fun, even if i don't find anything. thanks for making these videos. you and a couple other youtubers have inspired me to get started.

[@coopersmith7987]

good luck man! hope you find some!

Warning! It’s fun and addictive!

Just a little tip when you recirculate the pond water if it’s too muddy and the silt doesn’t settle it will eventually clog up the sluce box

[@mikeobrien4437]

Like the idea of classifier and pan at the bottom. It looks like you are catching gold and I bet it is some good shiny!

[@OGProspecting]

Hey Dan, cool spot and finding gold in the the drainage ditch is a bonus, excited to see you hit 100k subs! Should be soon!

[@Danhurd]

Tuesday or Wednesday I should click over to 100k

I think that’ll be awesome!

[@insolentstickleback3266]

It has been great watching your channel grow these last several years Dan Hurd! I have learned a motherload of skills from your channel Thank You!

[@connormarsh2535]

Seen maybe 50 of your videos sir. One of my favorites for sure. Love the high banker. Id like to see a double set up one with just miners moss to see what makes it through the first. The rules of BC seem fair. Is gold fever transmissiable through KZbin?

[@RockingJOffroad]

After the last video I was going to say you just told the whole world where you stockpiled your good pile, anyone smart enough to track down where your trout creek claims are, could come work your stockpile. Good thing you jumped on processing it!

Yup - don't want to encourage the claim jumpers

[@placidsidekick]

Thanks mate for all your exuberance! May I suggest, if you'd like to improve the serenity when an engine is operating nearby, you could peg a simple dampener in between the motor and work area? ie: couple of pegs and a flat piece of something, as to deflect full grunt of soundwaves. :)

you must have so much fun prospecting! I do it as a hobby and its like hunting for tresure. id love to be able to spend just one day doing what u do! not for the monetary value but for the fun of it!

[@WireWeHere]

Curious which has panned out to be more valuable, the current gold recovery or the KZbin video? Should wait until the end to ask but I've contracted procrastination and my attention span kee

[@chrissavill8713]

Hi Dan, As a total newbie there are huge amounts that I don't know about mining/prospecting (as well as many others I suspect) but I was wondering how much it costs to register a claim? How are claims divided and how much is each one worth? Is it done , by acreage, by assay results, and does it vary by Province to Province? keep up the great vids! :)

[@timothydiggins2206]

Glad to see you could squeeze off another run before winter lock down,I have been running the expanded over moss in my hopper for a couple of years now and would never go back,why not add a couple extra feet of capture zone.Cant wait for part 2,your teaser looked promising 👍

[@Danhurd]

Thanks! Tuesday for part 2

[@ProlificInvention]

*Dan Hurd* Fantastic video! Love the highbanker and all the tips and tricks, highly educational. An idea popped into my head while watching: I wonder if you could bring along a shop vac and clean out your highbanker mid run, it would be a good way to clear the riffles perhaps. They make lithium battery powered versions, 12 volt plug in versions, or even a standard one ran off an inverter. Just thinking it might be a useful tool for storing some unpanned concentrates.

[@Brasuasd]

Greetings Dan! Idk why but youtube recommmended me your vids so I decided to give a try and checked a few of them, great content and nice to watch :) P.S you look just like my best friend but a bit older so its kind of funny to see you working while thinking yep my friend def could be doing that in a few years xd P.S 2 Apologies for my english, isn´t my first laguange so Im sure I have many mistakes over here :s

Just found your videos by chance as Jade interested me, yer gold-digging is great, fun and interesting, are you a pro or family history bit or just decided to go and have fun, which it seems you are. Best of luck and have subscribed, wish I could join you to help for the WONDERFUL outdoors mountains and I love treasure hunting anything, or did before I got injured in Yemen. Ohhh, how much does a claim cost, not that being a Scot lets me get one but interest.

😫 I hate cliffhangers!! Love the video!! That gold owl is doing amazing!! And I like the metal in the hopper...I tend to have the serge problem as well. I’m working on a new design for my highbanker for next season. The one I’m using now mostly came from ideas off of yours (it’s a great design) anyhow I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of this video!!!

[@steveallen1635]

New Subscriber here. As an avid fan of gold rush/divers, the tv show, I've been looking for a similar KZbin channel and I love yours! I'm from the UK and we don't have any gold, other than lost coins - so following you is as close as I can get to what would be my dream hobby! Love the scenery too! Good luck with the gold finds!

Hey Dan. I got an Idear. Why not build a high back with the main chute made from wood and mount a metal detector on it so you can hear if any thing passes by. Also a siphon hose inserted upstream, ran by hnd would make a nice "Vacuum cleaner" to lift goodies from the bottom. Just a thought or two. I would gladly come by and work that for ya...LOL

Hi Dan. It is videos like yours that add great value to youtube. Are you related to Robert L Hurd who used to have a mine near jacksonville Oregon?

[@Danhurd]

Not that I know of

[@calebastion6048]

Mr. Hurd, I always enjoy and learn when I watch your channel! I have a question for you. I’m about to build my first small wash plant. I’m going to make it out of PVC and a few other materials, to keep cost and weight down. I’m going with a high banker/trommel combo. The main reason I’m doin this is that after some research and watching others I should b able to run more material faster. I’m going with a 6” PVC trommel with 1/4” hole after a high banker with 1 1/2” grizzlies. Where I’ll be running there won’t be any nuggets just flower gold and maybe a few flakes. I’m also going to make a sluice out of 1/8” steel about 4-5 feet long and about 8” wide, with 8” of fluid bed up top. How does this sound to you and what adjustments would you make?

[@Danhurd]

First - double check the regulations in your area to see if a trommel is allowed (it's not allowed in BC). Everything else sounds great.

[@calebastion6048]

Thank you sir.

[@waynebussey5521]

Nice set up at a nice spot...I was wondering if you intend on trying silicone mats in your highbanker at any time...Alan Robertson has some nice looking units he sells...and now a nugget trap...might be interesting to see in your rig...Have a good one Dan.

[@Danhurd]

A couple of people have mentioned the silicone mats. I'd love to try them

[@waynebussey5521]

[@johnsupa6106]

Hi Dan,thanks for the great video. I live in Scotland and have never hdone gold prospecting but do a bit of metal detecting. Watch your video makes me curios as to why you cant let the water run back into the river.Is this to keep the water clear? Thanks my man, stay safe.

[@jburritt426]

Thanks for the great video. I am glad you like to do this as I would never be able too. Mining is hard work. No matter what anyone says. Love it.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks!

[@chrislilly1463]

Ok so, you proved nothing got down to the GoldHog or miners moss/mesh combo, so my question is: Would you just run the 6 feet with the GoldOwl (or mat of choice) and clean out more often? It was looking pretty packed full when you moved the moss/mesh up top. Just wondering if it will continue to exchange out or if by being full you’d lose effectiveness in the mats? Fantastic video Dan! Can’t wait for part 2!

[@MattHemmer]

I like the addition of expanded metal and miners moss to the hopper, it reminds me of what Gold Rat and Adventures in Prospecting do with their hoppers.

[@Danhurd]

It worked well

[@phyllisparmenter818]

Dan, What if you were to put a 5 gallon bucket at the end of your machine? Could you potentially retrieve any gold that got post the mats? That way, the 5 gallon bucket would be deep enough the gold would go to the bottom before the bucket ran over with water. If the water was traveling faster than the bucket could accommodate, how about a larger, but more shallow catch all to allow the gold to settle before the water would run over the side(something like a child’s pool)? You are the best🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️

[@eastcoasthistoryhunter2027]

Thanks for all the great vids Dan. I'll be relocating to Nova scotia and plan on getting a high banker with a sluice. Can't wait

[@davidschmidt449]

If your going to be recirculating muddy water you should fill a few buckets with clean water before you leave the clean water and use it to flush the muddy water out so you can see what’s up.

[@Lam_Borghini929]

Great video Dan! Do you think that you might modify the hopper that would feed water at the top so you don't have to stop shoveling and push the excess dirt into the spray?

[@Danhurd]

I have a top spray that I might increase the flow on if I keep the expanded over moss up there.

[@alexandercoates4256]

Watching your videos intrigues, inspires, and gives me one more reason to hate living in New York state!

[@mudrocklunizo1929]

DA PART WHERE HE SAID I LOST MY SHOVEL MAKES ME WANNA LAUGH 😂

[@davidcrawford6505]

Why can you not direct the water back into your source? If you were altering the water in some way I could understand why not.

[@nobodyspecial6881]

Looks like you need to put a short water hose attachment on your high banker to hose out your high banker's Hopper box and sluice box in to a bucket every once in a while and run it back through your high banker. Clean it out and keep on running it. Good luck. Have a nice day.

[@saintjimmy2244]

You're a mad lad, mate. You look like you have so much fun. 👍👌👌

[@sgtrock68]

What would happen if you ran a cross-over hose from your pond to your suction hose with a valve to throttle? Would that mix fresh water with your pond water? OR I'll bet your pump is down at the creek not at your truck, isn't it...well that probably be more trouble than its worth.

Are you allowed to hunt minerals like Gold and such in Wyoming or Utah? I was looking at a topographical map, and it’s kind of odd I can draw a triangle between Where you are, And Ashley National Park in Utah and Yellowstone and back to you and it’s 777 miles. Roughly and about 26,891 square miles. At each tip of the triangle is terrain that looks about the same. Have you ever searched Ashley or Yellowstone? Or what about those washes that are centered between them? Like Point of Rock, Table Rock or Rock Springs? Or just a little south of there? Quacking Asp Mountain? Just curious.
