Mother Nature Tried to Kill Me! - (Gold panning new claim. Part 1)

[@stingray427man]

The visuals alone make that claim golden 🤙

[@Danhurd]

Yes they do!

[@igot99problemsbutmyaltaint81]

This video is brought to you by the worldest largest beaver dam :-p

[@birthcertificatefraudrevealed]

No kidding!!

[@Canthus13]

I'd pay 10k to have a spot like that to camp whenever I want. Panning would just be a bonus.

[@tulameengold3646]

You can't just camp on your placer / mineral claim. You must be doing mining then camping is allowed. MTO has odd rules, but rules are rules.

[@Canthus13]

@@tulameengold3646 I know... Most places in the us require similar, but recreational panning counts

[@jasoncampbell8879]

Was thinking the same thing. Ten grand seems cheap for such an awesome place. I might have to move to Canada - LOL

[@banditto1969]

$10k is a lot of overhead to make up.

[@cmcgregor5811]

You could easily spend 10k on a vacation. So yeah 10k for years of adventure and great memories is a fantastic bargain.

[@comsecone]

Dan - You are the “Bob Ross” of gold mining. What an energy you bring to your segment!

[@juliefuller2064]

Isn’t Bob Ross the painter in California on PBS? And yes he is I love seeing Dan out there doing what he loves!

[@roybutler5802]

@@juliefuller2064 dont we just love Dan

[@SwirlingSoul]

I love how happy you always are. It doesn't matter if you find nothing, a flypoop gold, a picker or a nugget, or are just enjoying the incredible beauty of the lands,.... Your happiness is infectious. Thank goodness for that! 😊

[@Danhurd]

Thanks, I don't like it when I'm not happy!

[@Targlox]

I love your attitude man, makes your videos so enjoyable !!

[@phyllisparmenter818]

Dan, The area is beautiful (looks very COLD). I am anxious to hear the whole story on how you found this great claim to buy! If it returns what you expect, you will be sharing your outings with us. We want to see what nooks and crevices we should explore when we are out there looking for gold. You show us how, boss ! 🥶😍💜. You are the best !

[@Danhurd]

Thanks!

[@koslund11]

Nice to see Mike on the video. Not only exciting to see gold on a new claim but this claim has some rock fall excitement also. YA HOO.

[@3ceyayo132]

Thank u Dan and Pauly for sharing your vids. I just received my panning kit and a 5lb bag of paydirt my 1st time panning for gold. I loved it. Practicing for my trip to Colorado. I've always wanted to do this since I watched the show on T.V. Way back in the day. Finaly got to do it and I had so much fun. But my back and neck are messed up now. I went 4hrs straight going threw all that. But I still have to go threw it again. I no I lost some. But thank u for this new adventure u got me to do.

[@ubbertrackerelkness1514]

I have been watching your channel for a few weeks and I finally subscribed to the channel. What finally got me to subscribe was the absolute Beautiful country that you are working in. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us...

[@lisabroestaff7133]

I love the sound of the rushing river. It’s so relaxing. You really don’t need to add music over it, but that’s just my humble opinion. Love your videos regardless. 😀😀 Will you let Pauly do some sniping videos here? I love your colabs.

[@Danhurd]

Yup - this screams Pauly

[@jeremypyles8468]

I feel the same way about wind.. dont ruin the natural sound of wind with the metal on metal clang a lang ruckus of chimes. The natural sound is much better.

[@salishseaquest7952]

I can't get over the scenery on your new claim. I'd be lost in those views, for sure. The water is sooooo clear. You're a lucky man to get it. Can hardly wait for more videos to enjoy the water, trees, and gold, of course. Keep up the great work, Dan.

[@Danhurd]

It really is!

[@joeljeffery8704]

The previous claim owner is under that big boulder in the middle of the river, so be careful out there. Beautiful claim. Nice gold, thanks Dan and Mike.

[@annieherrick]

Sasquatch throwing rocks at you..never go to the claim alone...

[@Danhurd]

maybe!

[@chaielmaetheius7804]

That be cool to see while Mr Hurd is panning there, double whammies

[@fredproctor6973]

Hope you find a life changing amount of gold on your new claim.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks

[@garyanddoris6022]

Truly enjoyed the new claim adventure and seeing some gold in the pan , anything on these winter but soon to be spring days helps with the gold fever 🥵,,,....!

[@Danhurd]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@danherrmann8755]

Thanks for the trip. Education. Is important. I will add this to my bucket list. Gold panning.

Wow Dan that claim has some amazing views and scenery!! Good luck on the digging

[@Danhurd]

Thanks

[@jpradprospecting8820]

Wish I had access to something that beautiful. Stay safe Dan! Should place a game camera or something to catch rocks falling

[@dalerabine6481]

Great video, it's great to see you so excited,can't wait to see what you find there!

[@Danhurd]

I'm itching to get back

[@ryanjourney9607]

Looks like Sasquatch is pushing rocks down at you lol.

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

I realize this is an older video, and this may be a dumb question, but I know absolutely nothing about this topic: when you "buy a claim", what exactly does that mean? Can you build a cabin on the property? Do you own it, or is it like a lease from the government? Can you only take away certain minerals? Just curious. Thanks, and Peace. 🐰💙🎸🎶✌

[@TJWallaroos]

Glad you got the claim jumper situation handled. Congrats on the the new claim. Can’t wait to see more from this site!

[@Danhurd]

More to come!

[@thomasinlondon2849]

Tj Tj makes me wonder if those squatters are sending rocks down lol

[@ducksp6405]

Beautiful spot! Looking forward to more videos from your new claim. Good luck!

[@Danhurd]

Thank you very much!

[@FG564GHJU7]

Congrats to you Dan for your new retirement claim. Its a real beautiful location. I hope you find some nuggets the size of walnuts!!! Just be aware of the falling rocks.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks 👍

[@garudastan9407]

Dan. I am a huge fan! Huge. And I love your videos. Can I make a small observation. Running the 3 second song loop throughout the video is hard for us ODCers to listen too. Please reconsider its use except during your introductions. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Richard

[@garudastan9407]

In follow up, the natural sounds of the river, wind and the like are so soothing. It seems a lot of your fans agree in their comments. I wonder if you need the background music. And this is not to mention the world class banter which is half the charm/fun.

[@bcgrote]

I'm so glad you got all the legal stuff taken care of. Such a pretty place! I hope you find many great nuggets there, as long as Sasquatch doesn't keep tossing boulders at you!

[@allansgoldmining]

Looks like good potential there ! Nice gold. !! Keep safe near those steep slopes with all the freezing and thawing going on. 🤠👍👍👍

It was nice to see you keeping an eye on the hillside, I ran heavy equipment on a site with 80 ft. highwalls. First you see a trickle, then it happens. Take care on that claim.

Living in upstate NY now, weird laws here for panning, but I think I can wet my feet in Vermont. Thanks for the inspiration to get back out.

Definitely!

[@paulcallicoat7597]

I muledeer hunted 35 years on a mountain in the north cascade mountains and had a few close calls with big rocks avalanching around me.One of our group got hit in the back of his leg and nearly killed him.It was a small one of maybe 2#'s but traveling with lots of bigger ones.I would shelter behind a big Douglas fir tree when the rocks started whistling thru the tree tops.About 2012 a big avalanche took out that tree in sept. during a hugh rain.The N,Cascade Highway (Sr.20)was closed by 2 landslide for a week.That Douglas fir was 5' in diameter.No hard hat is going to help when big rocks come down.When I went up to my deerstand there was a 2 year old 2 point muledeer buck half buried out in front of where my stand used to be.Just his shoulders and head sticking out of the rocks.Most of our hunting group wouldn't go up there again.
