Wow. Despite the audio issues, this was fantastic. Thanks for sharing this, Dan. I don't imagine many people get to witness this kind of operation. So cool!

Great video. That was one heck of a nice cleanup! Don't worry about the audio issues Dan, these things can happen from time to time. Also wanted to say thank you for all the videos you have been releasing lately, a lot more frequent, and I appreciate all the effort that goes into making these videos for us. Cheers. Heavy Pans.

It is amazing how far sluicing has come. It seems like every time you turn around there is a new one and that one with two different ones going at the same time seemed very effective. That was very impressive seeing the amount of gold harvested. I bet the old times would be going nuts seeing these processes. A great video even without the audio.

[@MattBroquard]

I agree, I was thinking the same thing about those sluices, I like the one man operation all together, but those boxes would make you feel secure in knowing your not losing anything!!!

[@josephpecoul6532]

Every time Dan heard says wish me luck I always whisper good luck Dan. I think that's great.

[@richie8346]

Just finished part one great timing. Fair play Tyler well done man. I like the efficient way you process the ground and replant after. It's apparent you care about the environment and getting the gold

[@TeraVoltLabs]

I'm 24 and love fishing. I'm working as an electrical engineer and don't get out as much as I'd like, but your videos have got me to start keeping a 10" gold pan and small snuffer bottle in my tackle bag and if I can't sink a hook, I can usually snipe a few good handfuls of bedrock soil from the river bed and catch a few beautiful flecks. Seeing that gold glint among the black sand on that final wash back in the pan is like nothing else. Love your videos Dan!! Stay healthy!

[@darren8517]

What a MASSIVE cleanout! Congrats to Tyler and a BIG thanks to you Dan for brining us along.

[@TheMiningChannel]

Great video as always Dan!!! It was awesome to have you out there. One part of the audio that was missed was Dan explaining the weeks total was actually 3 ounces more then what we weighed out. I usually high-grade the gold in the hydraulic riffles and just run the remaining concentrates through the cleanup system. Also Dan explains what my running costs are for myself and to make it short, I am around the 25% mark for fuel and maintenance.

[@Danhurd]

Next time!

[@BreatherBoy]

glad to know there was more…having worked with big operation on Indian River I was concerned fuel was gunna kill you.

That 3 ozs makes a huge difference. Good job out there.

Don't dare apologize about the sound, Dan! I certainly couldn't hear you anyways... I had to use both ears to hold my chin up from gawking at all that 7 oz (might as well call it t by at) ! Astounding cleanup!! I'm also tickled pink that you're buying the gold for your paydirt bags! Everyone is going mad when they get them!

Just getting to see that whole process was a treat, but seeing all that placer gold was so cool. And that sluice looks like it could be a video itself. Thanks for sharing with us Dan.

[@Dremin2009]

Yeah that sluice looked amazing, very cool if he built it himself

[@guycleveland3897]

I think the video is great just with the music and watching things happen. I like the extreme closeups whee you can see the lighter material rolling over the gold. Very good learning visual in showing how the process is really working.

[@danhodgins4015]

This was a fun one Dan. One of the more innovative cleanup systems I have seen - he is dialed in to the local conditions for sure! Also interesting to see that his coarse gold cleanup sluice uses ribbed carpet - a simple solution that appears to work quite well.

[@rickkingswood681]

Good Video Dan. I really liked Tyler's homemade double sluicing machine. It works great and oh what a haul!!

Dan I usually hit the like button even before your vids have truly begun. You know, by the time you say "Wish us luck, and I hope you enjoy! that "thumbs up" button has been clicked! THIS time when I hit the button, I had to make this comment: Your Videos are the FIRST ones I began watching when I got interested in panning and metal detecting and you NEVER disappoint! You even introduced me to Pauly, whom I am also enjoying a ton! (TRULY wish to meet you both one day!) Keep On Keeping On!

I've watched a couple of the gold mining shows on TV, and in spite of my interest in gold panning (I did a little casual panning long ago) I just couldn't get any enthusiasm for them.

[@48thstateprospecting]

Huge thanks to Tyler for letting us see his operation I really like the cleanup sluice set up very cool and thanks Dan for sharing these two episodes in spite of the audio difficulties it turned out ok now you know a 1/4 gram a ton is worth small scale mining hopefully you can do this at one of your claims as owner operator I can see that’s the best way to do it to keep the employee cost down and make it profitable but that is a TON of work definitely a young man’s game thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[@nostology]

Tyler is awesome too. Just look at all those excavators, sluices, quads, pumps, hoses and other pieces of machinery he runs them all solo and with such efficiency. Wow😊

[@jeremycarson5346]

never disappointed Dan thank you🤠

[@gnomespace]

At 3:19 I notice the expanded is put in for a more aggressive action (sort of 'against the grain' as it were), and have always been told (from what others heard most likely rather than through experimentation) that the expanded should lay the other way for a somewhat gentler slope to the action zone. I have done some small tests with the std Keene in both directions, and think it might be more based on the size of the chunks vs the size of the expanded rise. Thoughts?

[@homelessmike2068]

why doe some flakes look more yellow then others? have they been eroded more or do they come from deeper below?

[@Danhurd]

Probably different deposit originally,

[@michaelbart7014]

I dont think he mentioned it in either video, but some of the gold could have mercury, lead or platinum coated on them making them duller and more silvery.

[@TheMiningChannel]

@@michaelbart7014 This site has a large amount of silver in the gold.

[@hypervanguy]

Where does one go and sell their gold after an operation like this, and is it a raw price vs a processed price ? Would love to see a video on that .

[@davefish2280]

Doubt they would let you film, they're a secretive bunch gold traders. But pretty much any jewellery store or pawn shop will buy gold at a few percent below spot. I am sure dan hoards all of his gold and never sells any.

[@GermanTrader404]

Hi Dan, in the video, minute 8:03, there seems to be a black nugget in between or what is that ? A little saga ... A long time ago in the border water Pila (Pöhla) one has found good gold grains, which can also be floated like lead, and these are considered to be the best, likewise in the little stream Graisleinerbach black grains, which one could beat on the anvil wide. If it is black gold in the video is the legend true .....

[@GermanTrader404]

maybe you can make a video in one of your videos about the legendary black gold or what could be meant by it. Thanks for all your informative videos 🦁

[@johnnys7292]

Way to go on such a run and clean up .... that's incredible 👏

[@chrismaverick9828]

Awesome video, and so great you had such a fun time. To see that much gold from a one-man operation is mind blowing, but shows what hard work and study can achieve for someone willing to put it all in. I'm sure he enjoys doing it. In terms of the audio problems, even something like a small portable lapel mic and recorder could be a helpful and welcome backup for situations like this. When you go to do your big operation recording work, it'll probably pay off to have that closer mic for better clarity over the noise.
