The best part of this video was hearing that Dan got a clean bill of health from the Cardiologist. Much love to you Dan!

[@annaarita4690]

Agree!!!

[@Danhurd]

Thank you so much!

[@markiobook8639]

heart of gold one could claim!

[@marcusjennifer785]

We all love you Dan praying for you

[@buzzbomb67]

Thats always good news! Congratulations Dan!

[@FrednDeeDee]

Hi Dan, I'm as old and fractured as the bedrock you are standing on, in this video, but I cannot thank you enough for taking us along on each of your fantastic action-packed adventures. I was thinking about buying those bags of material and pan for gold here at home. I am sure I would have a ball panning for gold like you do. You have certainly more than earned my subscription to your fabulous videos.

[@jamesgeier3786]

Ten picker, 40 pieces.

[@robertryan3794]

Dan is inspirational. An intelligent gentleman who is hard-working and a gentle soul. PACE!

[@juiccybaze]

Man, he shares valueble knowledge like these, could change people's lives, many people willing to work hard. And also, he is not secretive of his knowledge at all! He is like a Lord or Sir, a master indeed, but he's down to earth and people can call him grandpa or uncle Dan

[@samshapiro9033]

Such a fun video to watch as you explored the claim! Beautiful gold and scenery. Super glad to hear your heart is healthy too! I know that struggle first hand and know what a relief it is to be “fixed!”

[@UnholyBe4st]

Love the slow-mo shots that you worked in. Especially on the first one you can see clearly little stones going out of the pan. As always, stay healthy and keep the awesome content coming :)

[@1911wood]

Dan I live vicariously through you. When you find gold I find gold so thank you for finding me some gold today. I’m glad to hear your heart is better. God Bless.

[@skyrere]

It is always a pleasure to watch you work/play in the dirt. Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures, and teaching us about everything. :D

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

My first day panning for gold & I enjoyed it as much as Dan. I love the river and the sound. Thanks Dan. See you again soon. I'm glad you got a clean bill of health. Think you'll need it.

Dan it’s always good to take a 5 gallons bucket with you to make your day a little easier , and what if you need to carry 50 pounds of gold , you’re ready, it’s a joke Dan , I thank God for keeping you healthy, so that we can keep enjoying your show and of course enjoy nature’s wonderful places .

Dan, you're so fun to watch because you have a great personality! Thanks for sharing with us.

Good morning! Can't wait until I see you all in the Hurd Herd! Going to make some ☕

[@joeferny8792]

Yes that's what I was supposed to be doing omg thank you so much.

[@amberandrews6842]

There are some really pretty river rocks there too! Lots of colorful stuff! ❤ I know it's about the gold today!

[@ybytes4005]

Definitely never a Debbie Downer with Dan! He's such a gregarious dude, he puts me in a good mood every time I watch his videos.

[@leighisfeld1944]

Once again great content! I’m not sure if you already answered this but isn’t the hose on your vacuum a form of sluice with the riffles in it? Thanks again for the vicarious gold fever!!

[@collinmc90]

Dan I gotta thank you for getting me started on my gold journey. I've realized after getting out a dozen or so times now that every time I get a little better, find a little more gold, know where to look and where to pass up but I am always surprised at what I learn everyday. It's an equal amount of research and field work! We have a lot of old gold mines in the hills out here (Oroville, WA) I'm thinking about trying out some dry panning maybe... "there's a chill in the air only miners can feel and there are ghosts in the tunnels the company sealed."

[@juiccybaze]

creepy and scary, spooky too... even these waters look so scary. Better bring along a few companion dogs and a team of like minded folks to keep you company.

[@rondaleistiko1227]

Have you ever visited Virginia City ❓

[@tonyguerrero9273]

Who?

I like these kinds of videos keep them coming Dan your the man!

[@bethsands7665]

You are a mountain-goat Dan ! , nice skills climbing through the rocky shore safely and awesome job with the eagle-eye on the places where you think there would be gold. You deserve big nuggets oof gold.

[@juiccybaze]

He is indeed sharing years and years of experience and it's never getting boring for him, in fact, he would continue on if he wouldn't been tired out or the day lights go off

[@nbitsolutions8819]

Hahahaha - I love those parodies of prospecting you are producing :-). It’s amazing - best part was the panning - I laughed so hard. Please more of this 😂😂😂😂

[@jesseaverdijk9060]

Dan, I've been watching some of your videos for quite some time now. I just want to say that you seem like a very pleasant person to go exploring with. keep it up!

[@bigt3514]

You should get a wireless transfer pump and fold out wash tank. Then you can just pump the water right where your at.

[@paoloriente5233]

If it's allowed in dc it's a great idea for dan so he doesn't have to carry every time the pan But how does this pump weight?

[@JnVrockhounding]

Nice Dan. Can’t wait to see you go down to the hotspot for an all day session.

[@dangermouse2977]

I appreciate you sharing how you choose where to dig, educational AND entertaining While I am not near running water except after a big rain your enthusiasm motivates for other activities and the scenery is refreshing as it has been over 105F most of the last 2 weeks

[@chipsatterly4902]

Wonderful instruction on how to pan properly including some GOOD slo-mo clips. Emphasizes how heavy gold weighs compared to other material. Thanks!!

[@zachcarney3910]

What would make water "surge" on a river like this? Near the end where Dan mentioned it swamped his boot I paid attention to it doing that. Not something I'm used to seeing in my rivers! Only "surge" of water I've ever encountered was a flash flood haha.

[@Danhurd]

Currents and waves can cause the Fraser to surge more than a foot in seconds

[@zachcarney3910]

@@Danhurd Thanks for replying! I found it wild that it does that because I don't encounter that around here. Is it because the Fraser river is a lot deeper that it seems?

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

Dan releases, depending how far from the Ocean Tide variant’s.

[@bethewalt7385]

RAIN up stream, anywhere a chunk of glacial ice can drop in, a released beaver damn on a tributary, any of these would cause a surge, the wake from a powerful motor(boat)...gosh I could go on

[@MADDLADO1]

Don't know about there, but here in Alaska, Bears are always around, and can suddenly show up, when your in the river, with your head down... or when in transit through the forrest. Luckily, here, we can carry pretty much whatever we want for protection. Be careful out there Dan.

[@tedgumby1796]

mostly black bears around this area of British Columbia and they are pretty good at avoiding humans...

[@MADDLADO1]

@@tedgumby1796 That's good, because black bears kill far more people than brown ones.

[@Spudscave]

It’s not the bears you need to worry about the claim jumpers cause you more damage especially your wallet 😂

[@nancyhainline2517]

Congrats on clean bill of health. I had triple bypass on May this yr. Am doing great and feel 10 yrs younger. My bucket list is to find and pan gold on one of my trips to WA to see my sister. Can't believe how much better I feel. Enjoy your exuberance and determination. Thanks for sharing.

[@bruceonline]

Living the dream Dan. Glad you're enjoying it.

[@ToddMusgrove79]

I feel like I struck gold when I found your channel. It's as if the frustration and stress from my day wash downstream with every pan you complete. Your best claim has produced 1.14m nuggets, lets get him to 2m!!

Fun to see Dan excited to see the train. I imagine the people on the train would be happy to see Dan, as well. "Look there, what's that bright spot on the river bank?" "That's a gold miner, sweetheart!"

[@jacobhartle30]

Hey Dan I would love to see you pan some of the moss that’s on the bedrock there. It’s going to have a ridiculous amount of flower gold in it!!!!

[@scruggsbuster9458]

In that state it is against the law to take the Moss off the rocks and pan you have to leave the Moss alone I know it sounds crazy but that's their rule their law

[@Lovemelikeareptile]

What would the gold rush guys have seen in a pan? Or were they even panning as opposed to big sluices and such. As an aside, I recall hearing that Chinese people were observed hauling out "rocks" and sending them back to China, which puzzled the white guys. Turns out the "rocks" were jade :D I've watched your channel for some time and will continue to do so. The Fraser has a ton of interesting stories, so if you ever get tired of geology, I'm sure you could change hats for a day and regale us with historical facts and such. Cheers from Vancouver!

Hi Dan! New subscriber here! So glad the algorithm led me to this video and ultimately your channel! Extremely informative, educational and entertaining! Can't be more wholesome than that these days. Honestly, I enjoyed your "Geological Fact of the Day" and the way you explained why and how you did what you did and you also got into the science/physics/hydrology of how the gold gets distributed upon a claim such as this one along the Fraser River. Another awesome aspect of this video was your easy to understand explanation of flood, bank and bedrock gold.

Hey Dan, I would assume the gold is coming down from the banks, even though you get deposits in the main flow I'm guessing the best concentrator will be the middle of the Fraser, especially for flood gold
