Finding WAY more gold!

[@justsitting1]

I love to watch these. It does something nice to the senses and makes me wonder how many others have been there in the past. What a great bunch to hang out with also. The train passing adds something special for some reason. I also really like when you add in some music during the panning scenes as you have done in other videos. Thank you

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Man I just love this claim. The railway is the icing on the cake, thanks Dan!

[@Danhurd]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@noahholden5360]

I wish I had a claim :D

[@gbobenhausen8799]

Really enjoy seeing nature and watching you interact with friends.

[@ginaallen3797]

I always enjoy seeing you and your family of prospectors out in the beauty of BC. Peace.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks!

[@FG564GHJU7]

A change of location never hurts to find gold in another spot. Every change of location adds a beautiful BC scenery. BC is beautiful no matter where one goes. I enjoyed your antics of sitting in the water, very cute and funny. It seems to put smiles on everyone's faces! Well done! Can't wait for your next video.

[@Danhurd]

thanks!

[@chaps1148]

Got introduced to your channel by my mother who loves watching you. And to be honest I find your content really interesting and relaxing as well. Must be amazing to do this in such a beautiful environment and surrounding. Well done to you sir and hope you keep updating us on your findings. Happy prospecting! 👍🏻

[@Danhurd]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@MHPCollecting]

Your channel, Klesh Guitars, Pioneer Pauly, and Vogus prospecting are what got me into the wonderful world of prospecting!! Just want to say thank you for bringing me into this hobby by posting your adventures! Can't wait until the summer hits! Going to go to Maine and do some prospecting on the swift river!👍😎

[@Danhurd]

Awesome!

[@p8erp]

Nice gold...good friends...and a beautiful day in the outdoors. It doesn't get much better than that.

[@Danhurd]

You got that right!

[@adrianwarner8686]

Greetings from the South West of England. I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work Dan. I hope you have more success on your claim upon your next visit to it.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks 👍

[@inquisitivealbertan1712]

Dan, I found it very calming to watch the Thompson River glide on by throughout this video. At the 9.25 min mark you forgot to pay Pete for the use of his panning perch, just saying. Thank you all for sharing.

[@minemilx2702]

Considering that the claim jumpers on your dream claim stayed there for such a long time I genuinely believe they must have been finding something. So I beg you, please don't give up on it quite yet. It has probably got huge potential.

[@scratchit3413]

[@sillycaterpillar7716]

Smart observation

[@tylerkrug7719]

I don't think they were only there for the gold, I think they were homeless tweakers, and they just happend to do some prospecting

[@hepplewhitesonsexploration4791]

We've all had those days on an awesome claim with poor results, its the reality of prospecting.. thx for vids!

[@Danhurd]

Very true!

[@passionforlust]

Thanks for the video Dan, beautiful part of our province, nice GOLD as well, have a great week everyone!

[@Danhurd]

Thanks, you too!

[@johnblanton8337]

Just left the Crater of diamonds (March 8th.) Going to be visiting the Ron Coleman Quartz mine Tuesday March 10th. Thanks for the videos please don’t stop!!

[@williamvaughn6074]

A little piece of heaven on earth ! Good luck Dan, you are the man ! Beautiful spot with better days to come. I thought you were going to slide all the way under the water. Thanks for another great video.

[@Danhurd]

You're welcome!

[@josiasdenzler1320]

It was so nice yesterday me and a friend were cleaning cracks in gutter looking for the shiny found what looked to be silver but no gold ...Great video it's warming up looking forward to more videos!!

[@christhompson4270]

Hi again from Western Australia 👋👋 I have always loved watching you on the river there it’s so peaceful and awesome scenery. Thank you 👏👏👏❤️❤️

[@Danhurd]

You're welcome!

[@chadbevan2403]

Love the intro to your vids. I often catch myself replaying it a few times. You have earned my subscription!

[@Danhurd]

Awesome, thank you!

[@tylerkrug7719]

Another great one. Great scenery, great gold, great friends.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks 👍

[@jerryhalstead5174]

Dan I used to operate a rail grinder on the cn, among others. An I ground through that tunnel behind you in beginning of video in mid 90s. I've seen many familiar places from yours and pauly videos. Spent 3 yrs Vancouver to Edmonton to rupert and most in between. I miss B.C. hope to visit 1 day.

[@clarkweathers217]

I gotta say clear Creek has lots of minor gold flakes and nuggets too it was fun to go panning there. Soon I'll go back up to that spot and mine for some more.

[@GilbertNichols]

Thanks for uploading this video. I enjoy watching your videos and seeing how you get so excited on little specks of gold. Good hunting, my friend!

[@Danhurd]

Thank you!

[@suebell586]

Ahhh... another nice day on the Thompson. Good gold. Can't wait though for when you find the sweet spot on your new claim. Thanks Dan.

[@Danhurd]

Fingers crossed!

[@cherylwillman3359]

Love your videos Dan, I'm an Ohio girl, that loves to watch you search for mother natures treasures, and the beautiful scenery is a big bonus!

[@Danhurd]

Thanks 👍

[@saintsfan39475]

The Thompson is so beautiful. I love the scenery even more than the gold.

[@Danhurd]

It's a beautiful spot

[@jameslanning8405]

The more I watch you Dan, and the others, it makes sense why so many people got gold fever, ran into the hills and after giving their all, they came out busted. It's a rare thing for finding those 'nuggets,' that made a few rich on gold panning or mining. I think it would be an awful long time to get 'rich,' on the flower dust you usually find... I still wanna go fish'n up there!

[@Danhurd]

Yup - it's a fun hobby

[@robertkenny45]

Thanks for the new video, I'm a newer subscriber, been watching a lot of your old stuff, its the first one thats not at least 4 months old I've seen. Fun stuff and great scenery!

[@williamhenkels75]

Wow looks like an amazing view!! And some beautiful candy too!!

[@Danhurd]

It's a great spot

[@thomasquiring2425]

Hey Dan, I've been watching your videos for a while and I don't know why but i love them, you're always super upbeat and an overall wholesome person. Today you earned by subscription! Hope your panning goes great!

[@Danhurd]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jamesgazdzik1793]

U should of been a commedian Love the show!!! Miss Canada, was there for three years now in California no gold just sand

[@rc-yi8ry]

Nice hat Dan. I'm glad you get to do more videos now.

It's always a good day when I get to watch 👀 DAN HURD PROSPECTING! Not a 😀 bad day with yellow 😀 in the green pan later goldfesser! 😎💨

[@Danhurd]

Thanks 👍

[@lobke666]

Just beautifully and perfect weather for some gold panning 😊

[@Danhurd]

Yes it was!

[@mikelouis9389]

Some folks would find that train a negative, but not me! I grew up in western Pennsylvania near to downtown Pittsburgh and trains are the main instrument in the symphony of my youth. Pulling out beautiful gold on a glorious healthy river as a train rumbled by was a daydream of mine from age 7! Plus, train track ballast contained amazing rock and mineral specimens sometimes! Thanks for giving me a MAJOR nostalgia shot, I owe you one. BTW, I have a gut feeling about your dream claim, it's going to redeem itself.

[@Danhurd]

The family loves this claim for the trains. Hope you're right about the dream claim!

[@mikelouis9389]

@@Danhurd This is my reasoning. That bunch that was poaching your claim were obviously druggies. That sort of people are not noted for their work ethic or stick to it attitude.....unless you mean stick to their drugs. They must have still been pulling good gold easily from somewhere on your claim because if they weren't cherry picking, they'd have been long gone when you showed up leaving their filth behind. Trust me, I know this sort all too well. You still have very good gold remaining, you just have to go a bit Sherlock Holmes. Best of luck Dan, I am definitely rooting for you.

[@mikeplant9163]

gotta love the "moonwalking" out of the river Dan. better small gold than no gold.

[@nootnoot9292]

@Dan Hurd, I gotta say something that I really hope you read! I suffer really bad with depression and anxiety..... Ive been going through some pretty tough shit recently which has been dragging me lower. Wanna know something though?? Watching your videos lifts me up and out of my depression instantly! Your positivity and determination are to be admired and I really wish you the very best in life my friend! And thank you so very much for helping me take a break from life for a while

[@Danhurd]

You are very welcome I am glad I can help some.

[@dragonflydigs658]

Yay GOLD!! It doesn’t matter where the gold is Dan will find it!!! Thanks for the adventure!! 👍🏻 HH & GL🎧⛏

[@Danhurd]

Thanks 👍

[@omegaseamaster1550]

Dan, yer killing me with suspense at your new claim. Hope the gold comes easier in the next trip and look forward to the trip report !!!

[@ListenandLearnEnglish]

Man I feel bad. Those claim jumpers ate your easy gold. Gonna have to work a lot harder for your dreams I guess.

[@ListenandLearnEnglish]

@Ryan Ripley dang shame.

[@willcoon371]

I loved this one you guys look like you were having fun. As Dan slow sinks into the river lol

[@kerrypitt9789]

Dan, Pickerton should be a keeper. The beautiful claim you bought may or may not pan out but it is good for your soul. Pickerton feeds the hunter in you. I get that need to hunt I really do and I hope you keep both.

[@Danhurd]

That's the plan!

[@mtf102882]

I needed that laugh, when you were sinking in the sand hahaha I enjoy watching your videos, I heard about your videos through Miller prospecting.

[@zachdolby4858]

It's all about the great outdoors!!!so beautiful

You got that right!

Wow, the Thompson River was so much quieter than your Dream Claim. Hope your next trips to the Dream Claim yield much more Gold.

[@Danhurd]

I hope so too!

[@mikemcgarry8621]

good time.... I like Pete's hat, go Spartans!!!....I live in Michigan

[@davidmueller980]

Nice day Dan. I'm thinking you will find gold on your claim, but it is deeper under the cobble. You will find the sweet spot.

[@Danhurd]

Fingers crossed!

[@lorettastinnett6848]

I live in schoolcraft michigan and I really enjoy your video's. I so wish I could do panning around here but I live amongst swamps not rivers.

[@richardwarnock2789]

A nice Day on the Thompson River Thank's Dan!!!; )

[@Danhurd]

you're welcome

[@mikelasiuta6062]

Lol😂I slid down a steep rivers edge like that last fall on the Red Deer River while panning. Filled my boots and past mid thigh. Dumped out my boots and kept panning😃 awesome video Dan. Love em all

Enjoyed watching as always, that's a beautiful place to pan.

It really is!

That train passing bye you guys was incredible! How on earth do two engines pull & push so much weight? You have some remarkable scenic places in the US, places I can only dream of. Good luck with your search for the heavy shiny stuff you guys.

[@atadventuresuk]

Brilliant Dan.... don’t know if you did something different but really noticed the video quality and colours in this vid buddy looks grate. Loving your work and keep it up dude

[@Danhurd]

Thanks 👍

[@gregoryeverett9811]

I think it's interesting that you did a live stream with Vo-Gus Prospecting because you two post the panning videos I watch the most.

Absolutely beautiful spot Dan. Love your videos man. Would absolutely love to come up to BC this summer and stop by amd do some panning with you on our prospecting trip of Alaska and parts. If youd like to do some panning amd sluicing or highbanking this summer I'd love to meet up bud, would love to set something up with you. Great video and keep up the great work man, always love your videos and take on everything else you do. Big fan and heavy pans my friend.

Not bad for an hour of panning !!!!

[@Danhurd]

It was good to see gold again!

[@eldraadthewise6120]

Wow, I don't know what you did camera or filter wise or maybe it was just the lighting....but...but... the colors and the sharpness of this video REALLY let me see and understand the beauty of that claims area! If it actually looks anything like this video I might get a airplane ticket and you may find a "Claim Jumper" (sans pans and other equipment of course) just sitting on a rock staring at the real worth of that claim!

[@Danhurd]

Thank you. This is my wife's favourite claim - she loves the scenery of this one. Glad to hear I may have captured it this time

[@SalmonKing52]

Nice video (as usual) Dan! That river looks so deep where you’re mining,. With the gut of the river so deep and far out fork. The shoreline there, how does the gold get placed where you’re looking? Is it glacial deposited? I’d be very interested in the occasional quick geology video about your claims if you had a mind to make them.
