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

[@bburgis]

Hey Mr. Hurd, your channel is really great. Thank you for all of the wonderful content and beautiful scenery. I am looking for part 2 of this video bur can't find it. I know you are very busy but if you could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks again. Barney in NYC.

[@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!

[@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.

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

[@diamondintherough6276]

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!

[@Nodsbane]

I enjoy your videos. I don't get out much so it's fun to see someone getting to do stuff like this.

[@belowmars]

Do you need a permit to dig the tailing pond with powered machines on public river banks? What happens to the tailing pond after you finish the operation, do you have to get rid of the water and flatten the soil?

[@thebodgingbigfoot4014]

Yeah that's a great configuration for the top box. Big Bertha has that and I've been very impressed with it all.

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.

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

The angle and water flow are crucial......and I wonder if the gold is still in the ore you ran thru....

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.

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!

[@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?

[@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

[@David-yh5po]

Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Thanks for watching!

[@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.

[@ubtrapper3077]

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!

Almost winter in Canada, and Dan is only wearing a vest and long sleeved shirt. I'm from Los Angeles, and if I was up there right now I'd have so many snow suits on I would look like a cacooned caterpillar.... Dan?.....You, sir, are an effing stud, bro!

[@linnashton7918]

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

[@NorthPineOutdoors]

Funny few years ago you couldn’t wait to get across the creek to your other spot, definitely a lot less hassle getting to this spot, that road up to trout creek is by far the roughest washboard road I’ve ever been on, haha good luck dan

[@Danhurd]

Other side is still better, wish I could easily get there.

New subscribed @ this channel. Very symphatic guy and nice videos! Greets from Germany 🤘🏻

[@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🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️

[@RCG360]

Can’t wait for part 2!!!

[@Danhurd]

Tuesday!

[@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

[@thyneadius]

Your slush spray needs a 3 gpm less water flow and you can get better gold results! The end of your slush is definitely the key even if you don't believe in it!

[@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. :)

[@richardspicer4722]

Hi do you have to lodge a claim on the land, we used to have to in Australia. just like to know if US is the same?

[@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

[@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.

[@carnage6288]

I'm curious why it matters if the water you pump from the river for the sluice doesn't flow back to the river?

[@jaytysver8832]

When running this Rig have u ever rerun the stuff that came off from it the first 10’

[@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.

[@whenim6462]

Hey Dan, I’m enjoying your videos. Just found you today. Subbed.

[@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! :)

[@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.
