I discovered a PILE of GOLD on the Fraser River.

Always love checking out new spots on the Fraser River. This spot took some searching, but eventually found the hot spot, and had a great first day to the season gold panning along the Fraser river. Which included finding a literal pile of gold.

So glad you're still posting your adventures

[@Danhurd]

Thanks

[@ktownkryptoking]

@@Danhurd wow! so cool...you are an inspiration! ...any suggestions for the #penticton bc area?!!!

[@patrickmanasco5905]

Pretty envious as well😂

[@patrickmanasco5905]

Im about to buy his paydirt to practice, not the same with copper even tho I’m better practice

[@drb6530]

Dan has there been any attempts at finding something that would attract gold , like a magnet attracts metal.

[@calebpage9106]

You have inspired me in so many positive ways your always so happy even when the pan is empty! I strive to make people as happy as you do! Keep up the awesome work!!

[@kimthiebault2076]

It's all a learning experience, same in life working experiences

[@drb6530]

I love knowing that people like Dan are out there just doing their thing.

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Sure you didn't find a lot of gold, and it wasn't the best day you have had on the river, but it was still a FINE day on the Fraser. Also, the biggest piece of gold around is you, Dan, and we thank you for inviting us along every week to watch you poke, prod, and dig for gold and precious stones.

[@ARGONUAT]

Hear hear!!!

[@G00G00L]

Not a lot? It's more than many of us find in a whole year in their local rivers...

[@semoneg2826]

​@@G00G00L Lol true

[@chipsatterly4902]

The SLO MO segments really help see your technique in detail. Thank you!!

[@lolaridgeback5875]

Over the last few years this channel has grown really well!! Great job DAN!!

[@nathanaagesen9298]

This is the kind of videos that made me sub years ago. I like these just chilling and panning not out for the money as much as just being out of the house.

[@cob4467]

Hiya Dan and company. Thank you from the UK

[@Danhurd]

Our pleasure!

[@ADAM_truthfinderz]

That jade is really nice with the light on it glad you're still enjoying what you do Dan always make me smile especially your intro its like when i first ever watched you i hope i earned your subscription today! Absolute classic! 🤣👍😁❤ From UK

[@ttyk19]

thanks for the great content Dan! 0.68g of gold is currently $47.32 usd. Gas for the truck calculated approx. $33.76 usd from peachland to lytton (assumption) highway driving a dodge ram at 13 L/100km, gas prices at $1.62/L cad. You’re making profit! yeeaaahhh! So thanks again for the content! I appreciate the passion, the knowledge, the craft, the skills, the dedication and the entertainment. include current monetization and this is a win win win.

[@godsoffspring4195]

​​Dan... some guys were from Australia were wondering if you can train dogs to find gold. Who needs dogs? Dan has trained a sturgeon to yabbi up gravels from the river and spit it in his pan. LOL

[@Danhurd]

yep!

[@OpenSpaceWellness]

Crazy how much bigger it looks spread out in a pan. 🙏❤️🌲

[@RockDood]

Love your video Dan, looking forward to meeting you one day.

[@alynnbeyer7868]

The best part of you loving the search sir, is the information you give in these videos on those adventures. You take the time to point things out that us new comers may not see. This helps us grow and enjoy our adventures more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking us along on the adventure.

[@BTWalsh55316]

I enjoy the slow-motion panning and classifying!

[@ericprater4017]

What a great way to pass a Sunday Night! Watching Dan on the Fraser River!

[@michaelkahler4406]

You are a master of the craft. Watching your rhythm of panning with the wakes of river appears you have nature working for you.

[@davidlewis9068]

Very impressive gold on the Frasier. The Jade is awesome too.

[@Danhurd]

It really is!

[@realamerican911]

Pretty sure Dan knows what type of gold he is working. If you have only seen 3 of his videos... You should understand.

[@Danhurd]

I know this spot VERY well

[@lisasimpson4574]

I came for gold,. I subscribed for dan 😊 much love from England

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

Ice was out on the lakes here, zero snow left on the ground, and spring had just sprung on the calendar... Then mother nature dumped about 50cm of snow yesterday, and of course, my snowblower was acting funky after being fine all winter. 😂

[@Jillloveszumba]

Love the ASMR! This is why you have the most creative ways of filming I've seen. You're so special Dan and thank you for all you do❤

[@ARGONUAT]

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. I read that in a Book somewhere. It describes our Dan perfectly.

[@ravinsaber]

Just adding; your videos have been such a constant of positivity and joy in my life for so many years, thank you for letting us go on these journeys with you 💜 you're like a prospecting Mr. Rogers

[@AaronTheViking250]

I'm glad to see you are doing well, Dan, and it was nice seeing u in person again, just like old times. And i love the content ur posting lately. It's been so entertaining and educational keep it coming.

[@shalmanezer4193]

Loving the slo-mo, Dan. Artistic use of the effect, and showcases the process. Nicely done!

[@GrouchyHaggis]

Great day out on the river Dan, thanks for taking us along!

[@TheRxNick]

Glad to see it's panning season again!

[@user-rv2zu1vb2c]

Dan seems to have a lot of fun

[@glyn1]

DAN DAN the gold finding man your videos ROCK Dan

[@SurfingTheSoundwaves]

Greetings from Vancouver Island Dan. Great to see you. I hope your 2024 is rich in gold and good health.

[@motorsnutts6594]

Fantastic stuff Dan, great to see you out panning again, there is something quite therapeutic in panning, looks a cracking hobby. not quite the same here in the UK , Appreciate your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼

[@JUST1N888]

I love the sound of the river and I like trains the area is so beautiful the gold for me would be a bonus 😊

[@TheBrubaker2]

"Its a numbers game" says Dan, and never a truer or more valuable life lesson has been spoken than that. EVERYTHING in life is a numbers game and learning where to focus your attention is the difference between success and wishful thinking. Of course that river's not a bad place to sit and just watch life go by anyway. 😂

[@joenavarro8290]

Your the man. I watch for a reason, you know what you're doing.

[@paulipuhakka8788]

Good to see you back again 👍😎 Cheers to you, and your family, from Chilliwack👍😎!

[@Danhurd]

Much appreciated

[@paulipuhakka8788]

@@Danhurd Absolutely appreciate what you do. And with the utmost respect to, and your family 👍 The world of panning does respect you! Cheers from Chilliwack👍😎

[@Aysmonte]

New to your channel and I'm glad you mentioned why you didn't look at the stones in the classifier as I was curious, makes total sense to me!

[@amandapittar9398]

I love watching gold prospectors and I get ridiculously happy when they strike colour! I’m so pleased for them. Good on Dan, he works so hard and has studied his craft. I also feel for his poor cold hands. He deserves all his hard earned good luck😊🎉🎉🎉 As the old Scots saying goes “ mony a mickle maks a muckle”…

[@goldadventures5844]

Great video good to see you out early. The slow motion panning was pretty cool and clarity was great throughout was literally watching for gold to show in back corners of your pan. Nice job!

[@selfretired3025]

The slo-mo on the panning here really helps people understand what they should be looking to move when clearing off the top debris... plus it looks cool 😎

[@geraldbrunckhorst8291]

Great end of day recovery Dan! Thanks for sharing!

[@ashleyt6979]

I discovered your channel through the Courtenay Rock and Gem show and I’m loving it so far! You have great charisma and knowledge of gold and rocks!

[@ravynalexander1895]

Woohoo!!! Great finds! I learn so much about panning from you and am excited to finally get out there this year and find some for myself here in Colorado ❤

[@london_general2636]

These are the best videos just a man and his pan loving life 👏🏻❤

[@nighthawk5479]

Love the videos Dan. Its such a nice relaxing vibe and we can tell you have fun doing it. As long as it doesnt get too exhausting, I hope you keep putting videos out!

[@Danhurd]

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks for another fun video. I find the search for the yellow just as fun as finding it. I do wish to someday find a spot like that one!

[@p.k.5455]

Just happened upon your channel and I'm happily surprised at how interesting it is and what I'm learning! Thank you!

[@donaldbush5404]

Always enjoy your videos and I am learning alot thanks to you

[@patbluetree4636]

Always looking forward to a Sunday with Dan.

[@drb6530]

You have to appreciate someone who uses logic to guide their selves

[@John-ir2zf]

And to those wondering.... Dan can make more money from youtube ad revenue by just taking it easy and prospecting for gold, than he can by breaking his back shoveling and panning in one spot nonstop. Hard-core people like the nonstop gold panning....BUT the masses of people like the "adventure" of prospecting videos. So it makes more sense for him to cater to the larger audience....

[@shresthdixit7569]

When i was back in india i used to see dan on his adventures, now i'm in canada and i will surely visit some of the spots dan has visited

[@jeffoman54]

Thanks for Your knowledge!!!

[@haven0915]

I love this channel. It's filled with family friendly fun content. TY Dan!!

[@daynitelatearly4407]

Those trains you love to see, I used to work on the CPR side. Might of seen you before I knew of you, if you panned the Frazer between 97 and 2000. Love your show, keep panning!

[@kevint-qg9gu]

love your adventures Dan. It.s about the Adventure

[@GeorgeIharosi-jt1yp]

Dan its always a pleasure watching you at both work and play which is the essence of the most perfect job imaginable. It would be great to hear some snippets of "The Ecstasy Of Gold" playing in the background ...you could time the song's crescendo to contents of the pan. Thanks again!

[@donaldwilson2548]

Such great videos, showing the beauty of the Fraser River area in the beautiful province of B.C. I spent a fair amount of time skiing at Whistler Blackcomb in the late 70s and 80s. Thanks for the adventuresome videos. Don Wilson, Tacoma, Washington.

[@aureaphilos]

Can't wait to get back up panning in the White Mountains National Forest, in northern New Hampshire! Thanks for the motivational video, Dan!!

You ever find any gold up there?

Great Video, Dan! My favorite channel even more than my own. Look forward to the next one!

[@Loverofthelight]

Every time I watch a Dan Hurd vid, I get the urge to fly to Canada and learn how to prospect. My bucket list has finding gold, digging for precious stones and opal prospecting on it, looks like Canada could potentially fix 2/3 in one trip 🤞

[@dodgerstone]

Nice Haul. Keep on Diggin' ✌

[@sergiocarrillo967]

Hell yeah. Love watching these

[@kathleenschaefer7012]

Awesome! Appreciate the rational for trying each place

I like how gold panners do the community a service and wash the rocks one shovel full at a time.

[@richieboy67]

Thanks for the new video. I'm waiting for weather to break in Lassen co CA so I can get out for my second year of prospecting

[@ADAM_truthfinderz]

I hope you find plenty of gold! 👍

[@grahambarker3845]

Dan is always happy.....what a role model....

[@LouisPaquette]

Having fun watching you pan, Dan! Have you panned in the Goldbridge Bralorne area at all? I bet you'd find lots of bigger nuggets there!

[@susanturcotte3176]

Ohhh Dan! Thank you for giving me my weekly dose o'gold! I wanted to be on here for the live but was driving. Gosh how I miss you and everyone! My schedule will be questionable for the next couple of months. 😭 Oh well, that's life unfortunately. I had a question about the last area that produced the most gold in your pan. Do you that it might be that the area is not as accessible, thereby it is not "worked" as often? Just a thought.... It was wonderful to see you so relaxed and enjoying the 'hunt.' Your smile said it all! I appreciate you and your family. I hope that everyone is doing well and hope to see them soon. In the meantime, I'll send you extra sunshine and blessings from Alabama ❤️

[@YodaWasSith]

Thanks for the video Dan

[@ManSickle]

I’m going out today for my first pan of the year as well. Just going to Mission Creek because it’s 10 min from my house 😂 I’m sure I’ll find some nice flakes though!

good luck

Oh lord...beautiful place

[@joereeser6299]

Love the slow mos!

[@ivonneamfibie1483]

Thanks you for this great video. Very educational. By telling us why you want to check out certain places, why your expectancies are low or where you might strike some lucky, you are teaching your viewers in an extraordinairy way about prospecting. It is not only about showing pans with as much gold as possible in it. You give a very complete picture of not only goldpanning but also of what prospecting is all about. How about a Prospecting Lesson Of The Day every now and then in your video's? 😃 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@laszlosoltesz3772]

Nice first day of the season, congratulations

Good to see you Dan

[@madisonadams7326]

Hey Dan, in October 2023 I lost a silver handmade earring on the upper Fraser near mount Robson while doing Swiftwater rescue. I doubt it’ll make it down to you but part of me hopes I’ll see it again in one of your videos. Haha big dreams but one can hope!

Dan your the men brother love your video

Excellent video Dan thank you for sharing this six stars brother

[@ericc461]

A new panning video. This made me happy today.

[@allingrant5858]

You tell'em Dan ! My only thought would be to dig deeper, thinking there might be older deposits under the bluff fluff ! But it's your spot and you know it better then anyone else !

[@davestrange3718]

Dan, I watch everything you do. I just put my feet in a river yesterday. Yes there is still some ice but im in love with the search. I might find something one day if i keep searching. So I'm still broke but i got lots of fresh air.
