I got 3000 pieces of gold while gold panning.

Gold panning the Similakmeen river. My wife Dayna and I went for a quick gold panning trip to the Similkameen river to see what we could get in fine gold. We did really well considering... Check out the adventure in gold panning.

For me it's always been about the smiles per pan and not the weight. That's one of the reasons I love your videos so much Dan. You always have a smile on your face.

[@cornfarts]

Well put. I feel the same

[@Joely7-vr7oh]

Especially when he ‘hopes we enjoy…’

[@Xenrutcon]

@@Joely7-vr7oh Love it. He earns my subscription every time

[@diamondhunterTv5]

Good ❤

[@martincarmichael9011]

It seems Dayna has the touch for finding the gold. You better make her a permanent part of these videos. It is always when family is involved. Love it, keep them coming.

[@lewislong4003]

3:28 - "Looking good Dayna! And so is the pan!" (Classic!) ❣

[@joycef4201]

As a woman, I'm enjoying more Dayna as well! You two are adorable together 😊

[@ttrguy9952]

Dan Lurker here for years on your channel. Whenever you are out with Dayna these are the best episodes. EPIC stuff Sir! Love to see the enthusiasm she has out there with you. Best channel on the internet period!

[@danielcampbell7811]

You always put a smile on my face Dan. That's why I keep coming back for more!

[@user-zk4wu9ss7d]

Love it when you have Dayna (had to go back to correct the spelling) on your videos, Dan. She has the prettiest smile!

[@CokeCheese]

Of course, the first thing Dan does is show off Dayna. He knows why we are really tuning in to his videos. He's on to us men! ☺ I think I'd have to take winter off if i were a prospector. Summer doesn't look too great either. Perhaps i'd stick to only prospecting on the more pleasant fall and spring days. I'm not sure I'd make it.

[@twisteddigits649]

I love how you get out there with your family and make memories. Informative, educational, and wholesome content. Keep living the dream Dan!

[@ARGONUAT]

You know it so well Mr Dan, you found the greatest claim in the whole wide world when you met that sing-song ruby haired gem of gems!!! You two are an inspiration for us Hurd Nurds everywhere!

[@GSProspecting]

Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@dn7838]

Dear Dan. Thank you for selling the gold nugget panning dirt bags, my father enjoyed them so much. It was the best gift he got . ❤He remembered his old days in bc panning for gold.

[@michealklonowski5267]

i gotta admit the team work in your family is awesome. thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😮

[@richardwarnock2789]

Nice to see you having Fun with your Wife !!!; )

[@VigilanceRifles]

Thank God you got the Girl. Life sucks without. And good gold. I only keep 3 subscriptions for obvious reasons. You are one of 3.

[@budrohammbone2806]

Dan ! I think it is really nice that Dayna has her very own minion (to do her panning).

[@O.K.-Raised]

Thanks for another fun video Dan and Dayna! That is some tiny gold. Looks so cool close up.

[@wescreek3493]

When I feel down I find your videos make me feel much better Dan thank you very much

[@seantilson6330]

ALWAYS a pleasure to watch Dan.. Dana as well. I pan myself but I'm in N.H.(southern) and it's MUCH harder to find the CANDY.!!! Nice video my friend.!! 😁👍

[@diamondhunterTv5]

Strike it rich! Unbelievable haul of 3000 gold pieces from a single gold panning session - talk about hitting the jackpot! 🌟💰

[@robertlewis6736]

I just always love the content dan . keep it up I love the vids with the family from dad to Dana and the boys I ve been watching since really early.

[@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube]

Love commenting on the video before I even watched it lol. But seriously Dan, you the man.

[@zachcarney3910]

Darn it I'm not first on a good video haha.

[@brendachilders8075]

Love every minute of it… Merry Christmas to you n yours!!

[@menow7851]

Merry Christmas. Thanks for the explorations.

[@cavey3249]

I am in awe of you Dan, you have everything. The wife that you love, the career that you love and sharing it with the rest of us. Kuddos dude. My family and I have been watching your channel every week for years.

[@robertordewald8678]

What's best for me is the two of you go and do it together. That is part of why I started watching your videos. Best Regards Bob from Virginia USA

[@thomasanglin1751]

Morning Mr Dan, wanted to wish you Mrs Hurd and the kiddos a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. I've really enjoyed your videos this last year. You keep the topics witty yet fun. thanks for the education see you next year...

[@jameswillis1788]

I love it when your family helps

[@susanturcotte3176]

I apologize Dan as I've just had the chance to watch. I'm dealing with someone who is trying to break into my house and shed. A lot of damage has been done to cameras and lights. Having police here 3 times since Saturday. Anyway, so wonderful to see Dayna with you! She has a good eye to find the million dollar spots!! 🤩😉 Always dig where she tells you to.... It will save you time and heartache! 😂 I was shocked at the amount of black sand starting with your first pan. Is this claim known for that? Very interesting. I was also surprised at how the gold was so coarse. The only problem was what you said. A high banker or maybe your vacuum would really help since the pieces are so fine. Be sure to ask Dayna where to suck up the goodies! Tee hee! Thank you for sharing your incredible gold adventures! I love watching for the gold and the intoxicating scenery. I think that I should buy a tent and live on the banks there just to watch the water. Beautiful place! If I don't get to post, it will be due to defending me and my property. So, I want to wish you an incredible Christmas, filled with love, peace, hope, and blessings ahead of time. Stay warm 😁

[@lucasszymanski114]

Gotta love the Crowsnest highway. Such a nice area. Keep up the great work.

[@ant-1382]

Lucky fella you are... 👍🏻

[@johnmallette3143]

Tkzz for sharing.,.,.,peace

[@edwardnowag7145]

Hi Dan! I've seen how you travel for gold. I've been watching C arl the Crusher videos from Mt Wilson Ranch in Nevada. It's about 80 miles north of Area 51. The owner, Jeff, has a email motel, restaurant and tavern which is original from the mid 1800s. The land is over 200 acres and contains many Indian relics. There are also abandoned gold mines which are estimated to be from the Spanish using natives as slave labor. Because of the age, the wood used inside, has collapsed the entrances. I expect there is still tons of gold to be discovered in those sites. I must also advise that the area is haunted. I ain't afraid of no ghosts!? It would be awesome if you or someone you know, opened those mines and started prospecting! It would make a great video series!

[@martinfromseacity2010]

Nice, cold

[@riparianlife97701]

Seems like a good place to use your magnet.

[@kaboom4679]

The amount of flour gold is crazy and the amount of black sand is just insane . Can you run a highbanker or sluice there ? Looks like either would do very well in that spot , especially with the right riffles / mat set up .

[@TheMadness51]

For us recreational/small scale guys, that'd be a good day. To even get close to finding enough color for dinner, gonna need a highbanker or sluice. Cool vid though!

[@bobjohnson7207]

It's all about the fun.

[@richardservatius5405]

the salmon river in idaho is similar to this. 700 pieces of gold and they fit easily on a dime.

[@littlehuey5679]

How do you separate gold and platinum when they are this fine ?

[@Rezin_8]

❤😂 more gold in a 10lb box of circuit boards..... awesome videos as usual

[@MichaelSchmitz-mk8ll]

Looks like dry washer gold lol Great video

[@d.andysprospecting]

Yes highbanker ! I want to see how that would turn out there! I’ll come highbank it for you :)

[@johnnycat7546]

Hi Dan I love your shows but it really gets me when you say that you are more appreciative to the patreons but if you think about the other subscribers you wouldn't have patreons so I suggest that u can say that you appreciate all of us as much as them thanks and keep up the good vids 😊

[@Danhurd]

I thank everyone who watches, and I doubly thank those who both watch and contribute money to keep the channel going. Because they are doing double duty. I don't know what it is about this video, seems to have pulled out every criticism people have........... I try, but I guess I fail.

[@auMr.Pocket]

"I have a camera woman today!" AND I still pan with one hand! LOL

😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Awesome video. It is so nice having Dana with you. Does this mean she had 2 days of panning with you??

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

You were having fun with your better half. That's worth more than all the gold in The Similakmeen!

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

And that wasn't easy to say after several large gins!

[@darrellknox9581]

Is there something wrong with Dan's half?

You're right, Dan, ya need a high banker there!
