I've been binge watching this channel. As a BC local who has played as a child on these river beds, I'm excited to share this hobby. My kids are so excited to go hunt for gold like 'Prospector Dan'. Very educational, relaxing, and oddly rewarding to share in your sincere joy and passion for nature! Keep up the amazing work as a Canadian conservationist and educator! #TrueNorth

Thank you Dan, for keeping a multitude of back scenes too share as you're recuperating. Hope your healing well, and growing that beard back. Much love from Middle TN.

Hi Dan! I'm so glad your heart is working better. You're an inspiration to all of us. Take care.

[@rogerdudra178]

After you did this, I'm glad you did the surgery. You needed it. I taught myself how to make oak furniture.

[@Lancelovesrocks]

Speedy recovery Dan! Super appreciate all your time, effort, and passion 👏

[@CaptainCheezmo]

Having grown up in Kelowna, I spent so much time in and around Mission Creek, so this is a nice nostalgia for me. I always knew it had gold, but didn't think it had this much left!

[@neilhirsch5832]

I am so very happy you survived Dan. Bless you. You make my world a little brighter in these dark times. And for that, I am very thankful.

[@mrfrost4064]

Need to classify I think when you’re dumping the bigger rocks on top it’s nocking the flakes up a flushing them off

For just an hour of panning....that's not bad. Glad you're ok. Thanks Dan. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I pray that you surgery went well. I love you videos. Keep going. I just wish I could find gold around where I live, but not many creeks around eastern Oregon, that I can get to...

Get well quickly Dan! Pulling for you. Enjoy your videos as always.

Once again totally enjoyed the video. So I live in a very beautiful area in northern lower Michigan lots creeks rivers lakes freshwater 5 minutes any direction. Every time I watch one of your videos. Well not the ones in your basement after surgery. Or in the living room after surgery.😄 But on the videos outside. They are so breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing another great video. God bless you and your's.

[@dawndixon402]

The ones in your home were great videos also. Just not take your breath away beautiful.

[@jonpierce8342]

Glad to see your not freezing your chin off! You look good Dan. Can't wait for this year's adventures!

[@marjieestivill]

My boyfriend also had a mitral valve replacement. Like you, he was seriously out breath with any exertion. It took a while to get fully rehabbed, even though he was about as fit as you.

[@SwirlingSoul]

That was fun! I also like the occasional camera shot being taken by you/someone else. It diversifies nicely :) Dan, glad you got through your surgery okay, and are healing. Your beard is also nicely growing again, and you already look a lot more like your old chipper self. You still sound a tiny tad off, but only to the trained ear I guess. I hope you will feel 100% soon, ready for spring and outdoor adventures. And even if you can only take calm walks, I hope you take us along ;-) But we all wish you well here, from our home in NL!

Hi Dan, I hope that you and your family have a wonderful year 💯❤️from Dave Long Beach, CA 💯🇺🇸👍

[@gutfinski]

The secret of these flat competition pans is they spread the material over a wide area so there is no significant depth of material for the gold to work its way through to reach the bottom of the pan. In some ways a flat pan is similar to a batea but, with a batea, the closer you get to the center, more depth is created for the gold to work its way down to the bottom. As always, Dan is my “go to” guy for intelligent and objective testing of various gold equipment.

[@richardwarnock2789]

Thanks Dan

[@Danhurd]

Thank you so much!

[@frankbush8368]

You guys are allowed to dig out of the wetted perimeter up there? Down in WA, can only harvest material out the frequently scoured area ie can't put a shovel under water.. just wondering. It would make sense that regulations make more sense up there.

[@speedplow2845]

We're not allowed actually, no sluices or suction sniping either. Nothing that disturbs the sediment and dirties the water.

[@frankbush8368]

@@speedplow2845 copy. similar focus here on not dirtying water. So keep in mind I'm a novice here: when you pan and a plume comes out while you're washing material out, is that technically against the rules? The rules here say 'no visible sediment plumes into the wetted perimeter', but I'm just not sure how you don't get a bit of a sediment plume when panning. It doesn't matter if I've already classified, or am panning raw material from the shovel, always some plume for about the first half of the pan.. and certainly the entire time panning if there's clay in it. What's your take on that? If the rule were taken literally in every instance, panning or doing anything in the water would be a violation..

[@veronicajack3396]

I'm glad your doing well. My mum had Open Heart Surgery at the same time as you and is doing well too!

Glad to hear that your surgery went well (sad about the beard) take it easy. The flat pan seems popular in Europe and the Betea is in other places. Gold like that in one hour 👌 is popular EVERYWHERE!! 👀😲 Wish I could do that. 🤔🤠🌵

[@louwclaassens4988]

How does that sniffing bottle work? Is there a one way valve to prevent the gold from being ejected when you sniff up the specs?

[@trevdyer173]

Ahhh always good to see a little trial and error, i was going to suggest using a bait pump but i dont think the flat pan would hold the gold

[@dewardtaylor4192]

Great video Dan can’t wait for next week

[@ed36363636]

God bless praying for you Dan

[@sprats1241]

Interesting experiment with the flat pan, though if I were to get serious about the hobby I’d definitely invest in the Batea pan based both on your review several months ago and the Vo-Gus channel has fallen in love with how much material it can move and it’s gold retention.

[@Danhurd]

My tests put the flat pan just above the Batea for both capture and speed. But still like my Garrett for convenience.

[@thumpem]

Glad your doing good. Take care of yourself man.

[@jordanarmstrong143]

Silly question Dan, I live in Kelowna, is mission creek a recreational panning reserve? I'd love to break out my gold pans.

[@danhodgins4015]

It's not a panning reserve. It's a regional park where panning is permitted. Have fun!

as they are so flat do you think you would have lost gold with the current in the river? I assume panning comps are done tanks or large bowls. good to see you doing so well.
