[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Two genuine guys who know their stuff and can produce informative quality videos . Thank you for taking us along with you on this trip Jason

[@RodRosenberg]

"If you get it out by hand its worth twice as much" This is so true and with much more then gold.

[@masterofcents.8175]

Every old 49er needs a good mule, but you got one that talks back Dan.. luv y’all ❤

[@TheBubagrunt]

Thanks for the collaboration with Dan. You guys are stars of the community. Enjoining both of your channels.

[@tyrone6820]

Dan is a huge turd liar.

[@rj-jn6ex]

What is the other channel from the MBMM one ... new to this partnership and love it !!

[@rastaralph7154]

When will the crushing video be coming out? ❤️💛💚 Really can't wait to see all the juicy gold in there!

[@larrymckay5219]

You and Dan have the best collaboration videos on KZbin! Love you guys!

[@markvanderstelt8999]

thanks

[@mazzg1966]

That was fun! thanks for getting together for this very interesting stuff!...Can't wait to see the part 2

[@azjeep]

love the channel i have always had a thing for rocks .. been collecting my whole life

[@mcbhomis]

A lot of KZbin channel collaborations come across awkward but you two seem to always hit it off. You guys seem to be both both having a good time together while showing us some cool stuff. Definitely a case where the sum of the parts are greater that than the whole. Thanks!

[@mwnciboo]

Agreed - I think Dan's prospecting know how, combined with Matt's practical and processing know how and equipment - they both talk the language of science, chemistry and mathematics - Assaying and analysing - plus both have good differing characters and can bounce off and are deferential each other making a nice natural presentation style - is a rare thing.

[@waynelacroix8870]

At 5:46 you can see an intercect of 2 quartz stringers. I was told that those spots are know to contain gold. I hope to test that out one day 😆

[@OregonAuExploration]

I was thinking the same thing, when I seen them.

[@martyparsons8395]

I enjoy these mining, crushing, smelting videos! Thanks! Eagerly waiting for the next!

[@user-lu9ek3uq6q]

between the experience, knowledge of both of y'all, and the comedy episodes like this are the best. i have been watching both channels for a long time and i'm glad ya'll are working with each other.

[@OGRocker1]

One of your best collaborations for sure..... very entertaining! Howdy to you both from the Gold Hill mining district of S. Oregon⛏⚒⛏ Thank's.

[@fhbbi]

One of the few adventures left in America! Great mining educational info, too!

[@josephcormier5974]

Thanks Jason you and Dan are quite the team thank you for sharing this six stars

[@JerryBWagoner]

Really enjoy the videos of these team ups.

[@Freeprawn]

Love seeing the videos you two make together. So much knowledge done with a good sense of fun with no ego. Keep um coming boys!!

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Love when you are with Dan!

[@wrxs1781]

Another exciting video, looking forward to putting the rock through your processor, my feeling is, you will be back for more!

[@alexkaring]

You guys seem to have great energy together. Love it.

[@krakhedd]

I'll say it again, you guys make a great team for prospecting videos

[@carlmuska6067]

17:47 17:47 17:47

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

Of all of Dan's claims. This is my favorite one by far. I cannot wait to see what's in it. Gonna have to get a crusher setup in Canada at this point

[@xtctrader1467]

I love watching you and Dan working together.

[@jeffholmes1362]

That looked like fun, look forward to the processing video.

[@williamscoggin1509]

For a video that was 48 minutes long it just flew by. 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@firstnlast]

This is a great video! Exciting to see you discovering in real time what the mine holds!

[@timothyodonnell8591]

Great collab! I can't wait for the processing video.

[@jefferywilson4091]

I always enjoy watching you and Dan's adventures

[@1jasonrl]

Love this collaboration as usual. I can't wait to see what comes out of the crush. I think Jason's spot was loaded with gold and I would have filled every available bucket.

[@twisttwister8254]

Excellent show. Always looking forward to a new episode. 🎉😊

[@jaybyrdcybertruck1082]

So exciting! great video! Im glad someone like Dan has the rights to this much, there is no one else i can think of that loves it and works as hard at prospecting as him!

[@petereaton6740]

You guys work so well together, you complement each other's expertice in prospecting. What a great video 👍

[@timothydeyoung5653]

Wow the Sulfides in Quartz, or should we say the Quartz in Sulfides, that's amazing!

[@StealthCampADL]

As an Aussie who grew up with a geologist step-dad. I understand your mining talk for the most part, sometimes words are used for different things.

[@rastaralph7154]

Great stuff 👍❤️💛💚

[@prestongriffin416]

you two guy,s just found xmas in April thank you so much for bring us along on your adventure THANK YOU DAN &JASON Preston or fire on the mountain mining.

[@OldManMuskrat]

Dan Hurd is a national treasure

[@deville.c]

Glad to see a great friendship come from the belly of the earth

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Thank you Jason 🙏 Waiting for the results….

[@Mikkelltheimmortal]

Hi Jason. Giving some thought to adet 2, and remembering how a geologist explained why you find gold on the foot wall, if I could, I would set blasting charges to drop the whole ceiling and expose the vein. It seems like a viable option right now

[@44070Swinger]

If memory serves, he got "in trouble" with the Mining Ministry a few years ago while he was using the micro charges here on the Blue chip.

[@Mikkelltheimmortal]

@@44070Swinger you are correct. However, it is possible to get permits for explosives, yet I don't think Dan is able to get them because he is a micro miner. I think he would have to hire a company to do it for him

[@5in1killa]

I really enjoy your's and Dan's friendship.

[@rockman531]

Hi Jason, Incredible adventure with Dan. Looking forward to part 2! Stay safe. Jim

[@larry785]

Have you tried a hand-held pin-pointer type metal detector in these situations? That way you find the chunks of gold by running the detector along the quartz seam.

[@HensleyTG1]

About time I got my fix, now I gotta wait for part two:(. I really like your equip, low to watch it work. Nice seeing u again

[@I.Live4oldcars.prospecting]

Awesome video guys. Very interesting. It's fantastic to see that gold in the quartz.

[@ronkliewer3350]

Great video again Dan and Jason. We enjoyed shooting videos with you at our mines a couple weeks ago! @MineOperator

[@BrianRice]

I'm looking forward to the crushing!

[@jph8266]

Love the collaboration videos! What a cliffhanger?😂 we are excited for the crush

[@darrylweartpipingancamping]

Outstanding video. Thank you👍👍👍

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

🎉🎉🎉I really enjoy all of the collaborations you do.

[@vicswanby454]

I've run across quite a few mines in my state and to find a couple of guys close to my home filming that good stuff was just fun. I look forward to the next videos you guys put out you guys really seem to work well together. Thanks for the great watch and awesome help identifying some of the things I have seen and was curious about. There's one place in particular real close to me that has that same type of vain I think I'm going to go back and do some prospecting and see if it contains any of that elusive gold. Thanks again for the great content.

[@mrwutchamacalit]

great video mate love watching your videos keep up the great work

[@jbowerman50]

Think you guys get to have way too much fun!

[@zachcarney3910]

Ahh cliff hanger! Have I seen the results of this on Dan's channel already but don't realize it? I don't think so. Can't wait.

[@toekstraatman]

You two have a nice synergy going when you'r doing projects together like this.

[@ruhtardedninjas]

I want to see more smelting and ore processing!

[@shitzuation]

Bloody love this channel!❤

[@jdl.1234]

Thanks for another adventure Jason......

[@deepbludude4697]

Super interesting thanks for uploading!

[@chuckerickson6721]

Thank you Jason another great adventure !

[@supersneakusa4492]

This is awsome, it's all about getting outside, doing something constructive, working together as a team .... the gold is cool too !

[@mikaeleriksson7426]

Cant wait to see results !!!

[@markroth9827]

Looking forward to the crusher. Thank you for your video.

[@garyammerman2153]

Good video Jason! It looks to me that you have some good product to crush....looking forward to your follow-up video.

[@memberHD]

These collabs are awesome.

[@grayghost75]

Can't wait to see what you have found.

[@vinnieg.6746]

You all are crushing it. 🤣🤣🤣That look like some really nice stuff. Can't wait to see what's in it. 👍

[@VoGusProspecting]

This was great 👍

[@jacobwilson6296]

Thanks for the vid man!

[@mikeblair2594]

I knew exactly where you were and where you were going the second the video started. You two work well together. I hope I see a bunch more collabs in the future.

[@devaperzspotreviewz]

Oh, it's golden hour. Just got a mex 10k Jesus piece (2in. by 1 1/2in.) hangs nice off the 36in. 925 Navajo silversmith rope. But how you guys get the gold au naturale, that is where the real fun begins. Best of luck, guys!!!!

[@scottpearce4072]

Some fantastic filming/ editing work mate, take care

[@dodgeit3014]

Can’t wait to see the follow up.

[@jeffreyromanelli1708]

I like how you et around to the different 'poster's' on KZbin, Jason--nice touch.

[@SMoore-js6fy]

Look forward to the processing

[@dawndixon402]

😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Thank you Jason. Not only for the episode.

[@firemanfireman7228]

It's always a good day when you get lots of buckets of crystals of rocks and the best part of it is after crushing it and finding lots of gold in it That's what will make your day Fireman 🔥🔥🔥

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

38:05 Dan has a really good run there, so far as volume is going! I sure hope the grade is high!

[@ironhorse7588]

👍 Great looking stuff.👍

[@randym8963]

Looking forward to part 2

[@swedenfrommycam]

Awsome this is nice to follow 💯💪

[@markae0]

At 19:47 where the wall meets the ceiling it sure looks shiny! Great video.

[@greggiles7309]

Awesome from New Zealand, its a Cold Wet Autumn Sunday,

[@cobalfrostwyrm]

I love it when you guys do collab vids.

[@orangdalam2401]

Amazing vein....👍👍👍

[@RICDirector]

Great video!

[@shanestachurski9667]

Awesome content Guys.

[@scruggsbuster9458]

Well I hope that there's a lot of shiny another good video in there finding the gold going to crushing it up and see how much there is I'd like to see that video thank you for all your hard work and entertaining us I know it's a lot of work setting up cameras rendering I know all about it thank you for another video see you on the next one😮

[@scottbishop7899]

The redder the bedder!! lol I think Dan is winning, you'll need to dig him out before you leave 😆 🤣 😂 Dying to see what you get already lol

[@SuperMortiki]

Keep up the good work

[@Silvereagledude]

New subscriber from Dan’s channel

[@henrymuzgay1023]

this is amazing

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

41:20 WOW!!! WHAT A RICH STRIKE!!! ESPECIALLY if its full of Tellurium!!!

[@matthewtracy8744]

That material looks a lot like what I find here in Montana. I just don't have a crusher, so it goes in my rock garden. Lol 😆

[@chriscarley9951]

I'm envious, wish I could be there

[@semoneg2826]

Hummmmm😊

[@Fatamus]

That was amazing guys. 😎 👍👍

[@jaimiecollins9603]

Awesome Dan...i got GZD.. woo hoo, go market go

[@domingocasinillo6256]

It's look like a highgrade gold ore sir .,very nice gold prospecting ❤❤

[@s.d.iprospecting4359]

I would be surprised if there were no gold in that ore,it looks amazing. If i were Dan i would get a 1 ton per hour turn key system for the blue chip mine.

[@AJShiningThreads]

Have you done a video talking about the lack of air in the caves? I'm wondering how the old timers mined in low oxygen levels. Anyhoo, a video talking about the dangers obvious and not so obvious would be fantastic.
