Irwin's Paydirt from Nuggets by Grant (*Review*)

[@Travice]

So I Just asked my wife "I wish I knew what was so relaxing about watching Dan Hurd pan for gold but it's great". Her response to me was "HELLOOOO DAN HURD WITH DAN HURD PROSPECTING HERE" I had no idea she also watched your videos.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

lol!

[@gordongadbois1179]

SHE FELL FOR THE NUDE BEARDED GUY CLICKBAIT VIDEO

[@garyanddoris6022]

Dan Hurd has perfected his on style that’s addictive to watch...

[@CrispsApples]

I'm glad all the youtube prospectors all know each other and help promote each others channels. Been watching you guys for quite some time now and always look forward to the new content. One day I will visit Canada again and I''d love to meet you and pauly. (life goals) You both, along with klesh sparked my love of panning for gold and prospecting and helped me through a pretty rough patch in life. But, after 2 spinal surgeries I'm happy to say I am fully capable now of keeping my hobby alive and the amount of information I've learned for you all has helped a ton. Look forward to all your up coming videos!

[@nunya3268]

That was actually a really nice bag of pay-dirt! I'm glad to see how open minded you are about helping friends.. that's something you dont find to much these days. Great videos Dan. Keep up the good work and selflessness.

[@teresajudy7232]

Getting the practice and experience before going out into the field is priceless in my book.

[@tammypatton8800]

I like that I can always give a thumbs up before I even watch your video. Never disappointed.

[@MurryKimballMusic]

Thanks for the awesome content Dan! You have enspired my wife and I to take our first prospecting vacation this summer...since we are in TX and all I get to do here is Paydirt. Keep up the GREAT work.

[@Danhurd]

Awesome!

[@malcolmscally1533]

there was a major gold find in scotland recently, the Reunion Nugget. 121.3g (4.2 oz). it has a hole in it which has been suggested was made by a neolithic antler hand tool. some really old school bling :D

[@wessimmons9502]

I've ordered several bags from Irwin and never been disappointed, he has his own site running now..thanks Dan.

[@Ghost92690]

You should do a gemstone series. i.e. identification, polishing, cutting. Love the daily vids

[@thomasstewart9368]

Good job Dan. I like most the way you keep the review simple. Gosh....some folks can make a big deal about dirt - rocks - dust & yes the gold. It is-what-it-is.

[@billreinhardt3684]

All your videos are so informational,your a good teacher

[@TheMacattack66]

Hi Dan, Another great one! I opened two of the bags i got from your site last night after your video and the GEMS and Gold was a hit!!! Thank you. :-)

[@Danhurd]

Awesome!

[@WildSchneiderOutdoors]

I did his first KZbin review on both of his bags!!!! Great stuff and always a great time planning it out. I’m so glad to see he is branching out to big channels and not just with small channels like mine. Great review and I hope he really gets up and running.

[@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD]

Iv had good luck with Felix pay dirt from Anchorage, Alaska.. have a good one buddy and take care.

[@robertmackey5608]

Nice Pay Dirt review Dan. When there is a blizzard outside it make sense to buy some dirt to pan some new gold you haven't seen before.

[@christopherwolf5706]

That intro smile before the video, gets me coming back

[@Danhurd]

Awesome

[@FG564GHJU7]

Dan - You're the man today! Cool pay dirt!

[@Shonufff88]

11:45 good thing it was a novice bag. Easier to pick up when spilled. Lol

[@Danhurd]

Yup

[@markopittman2833]

i was waitn for the tweezers , but dan was able to pick it all up with his pinkies. cool pickers!! if you can pik it up........

[@suebell586]

Well there we go. 2 for 2 meeting their guarantee. Good stuff. Caught myself blowing on my phone trying to blow all that dust away. 🙄🤓 Thanks again Dan. Always exciting seeing that gold appear in the pan.

[@davemuse419]

Awesome as usual Dan. Keep them coming.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks!

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

This kind of thing would be a fun homeschool activity for someone who doesn’t live in a typical gold bearing region... or can’t otherwise get out and pan... it’s also nice that your kid would be guaranteed to get something out of it... great for a study on the gold rush or geography of Canada or something... awesome idea 👍

[@Danhurd]

Very true

[@Anokaman]

I'm yelling "TWEEZERS" and then you turned them into pickers. Good stuff sir!

[@Danhurd]

Thanks!

[@JSabh]

Try holding a strong magnet right on top of about 2 inches of water/material but, do not touch the magnet to the bottom of the pan. The magnetic sands will rise through the water, the heavy gold stays. I recover the smallest of flower gold that way and it is so much easier. I am in WA state so very similar to you in Canada. Lots of black sands and flat gold lol. I also pan with a strip of metal on the bottom of the pan and a strong magnet in a housing ( joint container lol ) in the pan towards the center/forward of the riffles ( where you want the gold to go ). The magnets pull the black sand to the bottom and the gold follows quickly. It is all locked with magnetic force until you remove the magnet, wipe off the magnetic sand into the pan, and either clean it or pan it as is. Works awesome and way faster clean up.

[@frankharrington5565]

Love the video. You always make it entertaining.

[@josephwilliamson6878]

BRO! YOU GOT A SPECY MAN! I saw it first when you weighed it in the metal dish. Check out 12:39 to see it, in the bottom of the plastic dish, around the 5 o'clock position. It is a conical piece of white quartz, capped with gold. A TOOTH FROM THE LITTLE PEOPLE! SWEET!!!

[@13mjunky]

Thumbs up to Irwin's paydirt!!! Thanks for sharing! I agree variety is best. I want to get my hands on powder gold paydirt.

[@johnwright9285]

Great thank you again Dan!

[@jenette16]

Would like to see their other bag. Great videos

[@calstayton3581]

Nice gold irwin paydirt

[@rockydavies9555]

Awesome Video Dan Great Content

[@mikeshell9598]

Watching pay dirt reviews is the only way I'll be able to see any gold since it is now the monsoon season here in Ohio. I can't wait till the waters recede so I can get out and find some.

[@harleythebeaglefriends4573]

I'm in Ohio, too. Have you had luck finding gold in Ohio?

[@mikeshell9598]

@@harleythebeaglefriends4573 Yes. There is good gold in Ohio. For great information check out ospagold.com (Ohio State Prospectors Assn.) Most of the gold is tiny, but there are decent pickers occasionally. Nuggets do turn up but rarely. I've only found a few.

[@martynnjacob4684]

Love watching your videos. Iv always wonted to try doing paydirt but living in the uk its really hard to find and to expensive to import it from the USA

[@GroundhogKim]

Love the videos dan congrats on getting the silver playbutton

[@heathstephens4068]

Really enjoying pay dirt week! May have to give it a shot.

[@Danhurd]

Awesome

[@christhompson4270]

Awesomeness, hi from Western Australia 👋👋👋❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Danhurd]

Hellloooo

[@axemen77]

do you refine the sand from these to see if anything is left over or just pile it up somewhere? did you see the stray on the right side at 11:31 time stamp?

[@Danhurd]

I will pan the tailings again. And yes, did see it

[@OnlyPansMJIRL]

Loving the free advertisement for @klesh gold krums while panning another paydirt. I love the krums! Got a nice little nugget in one of my Klesh Krum bags!

[@magwa8855]

Im about ready to get myself a bag Dan Hurd paydirt. Where do i go to make that purchase?

Nice hiss. Regards from Scotland.

[@dragonflydigs658]

Very nice looking gold🤩 I really enjoy seeing the different paydirt. At the end of this 5 day paydirt evaluation I’m going to buy the one I liked the most! Not necessarily the most gold but the prettiest 🤩! Love the videos Dan! 👍🏻 HH🎧⛏

[@Danhurd]

Awesome - thanks!

[@deanrang2541]

I decided to check different ones as well see which one gives more 👍

[@richardwarnock2789]

Dan you did a Pauly gold in the carpet!!!; )

[@jaym5602]

Just to make sure any rinse aid can work or is it just Jet Dry?

[@ferdburphel2076]

Gotta love winter prospecting at home👍 look at the gas money you saved!

[@jamesdavidjett]

You are the best kind of nerd.a funny one. Like that movie. You're smart and charming 😂😂

My wife would have been angry seeing all that dust float through the house 😂😂😂

cool show. it fun to watch. i'm learning more with every show. keep up the good work.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks!

[@buzz4301]

I’m relatively new to the gold fossicking scene and have learned so much from your videos over the past year or so. Any chance you’ll be making a trip to Australia soon?

[@goo757]

lol

[@happyhourk12]

I wonder if that’s milled gold then. Given the size and roundness.

[@thebardone316]

Love watching your vids keep it up man all the way from the UK 😀

[@Danhurd]

Thanks

[@davidkelly1298]

Pretty decent ROI on that one. Like you said though you will never make money panning paydirt. Thanks Dan for all the info you share.

[@christophertaylor2020]

Out of all the paydirt you went through what was the best gold finding

[@JerrysThisandThat]

I think there be treasures under that X Dan Lol. Do you think gold will hit $1800 US this year?

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Nice dirt I would buy that, it is especially pretty as well. Lots of glitter pop going on!

[@AwakeningEnthusiast]

Are you going to pan out the stuff in the bottom of your water tub? I always do and I always end up finding a little something I missed

[@markopittman2833]

that gold looks like its been thru some type of polishing , once again dan , how can i clean my gold out of the vile and make it have that luster again ??

[@Danhurd]

I plan on doing a video on cleaning gold soon.

[@markopittman2833]

@@Danhurd , cant ya give me a hint or ami gonna have to wait ? i just cant wait for it dan. i must have my shiney shiney again !! haha

[@trevdyer173]

Great review again mate..... again no bag rinsing...... Either you were using warm water or that jet dry is pretty full on stuff. When you added it the pan literally got smaller in your hand 🤣

[@larrysylvester6795]

Thank u Dan for this review enjoyed it very much just might have to get a bag

[@janieriddle6068]

Nice recovery :-) Looks very good. :-D

[@mekhimkl2702]

I'm very new to panning - i did it once many years ago with someone else's equipment and am trying to get into it more seriously. I have a couple of questions. 1) is there a particular paydirt that you'd recommend for a novice who is trying to get basic techniques down in a tub before going out into the wild? I'd ideally like something affordable that simulates more realistic conditions than this (for instance, more black sand than this one). 2) I've seen a few panners talk about using dish soap to keep the gold from floating, but where I'll be doing a lot of my panning is probably going to be public lands and I want to make sure I'm not hurting the environment. Is the dish soap totally necessary when out in the wild? If so, are there environmentally friendly brands you'd recommend? Thanks 😊

[@melin1969]

when refering to potentional poi would it be worth weighing the bags to see if they do contain the stated weights or not ? afterall if a bag is below weight that could change the poi values and missing dirt could mean missing gold , though i relise these were sent to you rather than bought

[@ramiroledesma5999]

Been waiting all day 🔥🤙🏽

New one tomorrow too!

[@SCW1060]

Hey Dan do you still use your USB microscope? If so how do you like it? I'm thinking of buying a $30 one to examine rocks samples for fine gold

[@billflint3369]

Thanks for the video's . I noticed that you use a different pan at home, is it just what you have or is there a reason?

[@Danhurd]

Small enough to fit on the tub I have.

[@jordanarmstrong143]

I'm curious about the nip and tuck gold. That's from my old stomping grounds.

[@LifeNINE]

I Have a question , How much jet dry do you use in a set up like the one in this video

[@Danhurd]

one good squirt!

[@LifeNINE]

That is good to know cause the last thing I'm waiting on to start my panning adventures Is a bag of your pay dirt looking forward to practicing with it, honing my skills

[@pglund74]

Did u put surfactant in it?

[@Danhurd]

Yes

[@709badwolf]

great advise! 👍

Sweet. Nice review

Yes, I know his site well

[@derickberney6452]

WHAT IS THE CODE FOR GRANTS NUGGETS TO RECEIVE YOUR DISCOUNT PLS DIDNT SEE IT AT END OF VIDEO...

[@picklep3076]

A novice question. Whats jet dry and hows it effect gold panning?

[@Danhurd]

It is what is used in dish washers to prevent spots. It reduces the surface tension so small particles will not float on water.

[@linda54wood]

Since the gold was floating, could you have washed some away into your tailings pan?

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Love your videos

[@carlordiway1290]

Do you ever worry about getting Mercury on your wedding band when prospecting Dan ?

[@Danhurd]

Never thought about that

[@aaronwynn6564]

[@Danhurd]

My scale always has old gold on it

[@13mjunky]

Suuuuper yellow!

[@bricepodoll1849]

What does the sticker say on the bottom of the bag? When I bought my paydirt from them it was an indicator if it was the novice or not.

Dan maybe you have gold to spare, Saw a crumb next to weigh boat (right Side) 11:12 to 11:26 also another one also on scale at 12:08 to 12:11. Might be wrong but looked like gold to me. That is the size I find. LOL
