You can really tell there’s such wonderful chemistry between Dana and Dan. To find someone who genuinely enjoys the same things you do can’t be over stated.

My first reaction to the grasshopper sound was “They don’t seem too concerned about the snake” I’m so stupid.

You sure are a BLESSED man to have a God sent wife like Dayna! You for sure would not of been going home with all the blessings without her beside you. You need to take her every time you go. And bring the kiddos along to help carry. Also bring a good rope so you can draige the heavy stones out with the truck or a winch.... It's fun seeing you kids get blessed... BBE..

[@chrislarson4328]

I know it may look weird, but i swear it works...get yourself a 3-wheel all terrain stroller for moving your heavy stuff. Make sure it's got large wheels and a way to to lock in the front wheel so it doesn't swivel.

[@ahealthierkirk2558]

I mentioned using a barrel sled. pretty cheap and much easier than rolling a rock uphill! literally

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

@@ahealthierkirk2558 2 logs and some straps. Put both logs on your shoulders front and back of the rock and lift it up and walk it out.

I agree. I would have suggested a furniture trolley, but an all-terrain stroller sounds much better!

My jaw dropped when you two rolled over that rock @ 20:42 😱WOW ! !

[@mikeharrington5593]

Dan - Maybe you could invest in some 6-wheeled sack trucks to get the biggest rocks out. The design is genius & even goes up stairs so should be able to cope with the sort of uneven terrain you work with.

[@henrymuzgay1023]

Dayna you are a beautiful gem keep dan going is hard work

[@Wreckz_Tea]

Dan, have you done any videos that talk about how you started prospecting and how someone may be able to get into prospecting for themselves? If not I'd be interested to hear you talk about it. Also on a side note, have you ever seen guys use a .22 caliber blank cartridge to break large boulders apart? You just drill down a ways into it and drop the powder charge into it and tap it with a metal rod and hammer. The same way they shoot nails into concrete. It would be really good for breaking off large chunks of rock for your gemstones with very little effort. You wouldnt have to break your back and wear yourself out with all the hammering . I believe they call it microshaving you should check it out. There are videos on KZbin
