Placer Gold Mining at our Mini Mine

We decided to start mining, so we picked a spot and started digging into the highbanker. A gram of gold would be just perfect.

[@Danhurd]

Hellllooo! Thanks for the shout out. Looks like you guys had fun and that's the most important thing!

[@Gridlessness]

for sure, thanks Dan.

[@chrisanderson9276]

Good job. Great video. I subbed and about to check more of them. Yup Dan is a great teacher in the classroom and in the field. And being in B.C. like we are following his advice and methods will definitely help you find the leprechauns pot of gold. No really you brought the treasure with you and they all, in my opinion had a great time. Couple of tips. Put a pan under the end of your sluice and when you do your clean up do a quick to see if you're loosening and gold. Second especially if you find any loose slow the water down. If you're on the Fraser I think that may be the problem as that fine Fraser gold loves to swim right through a sluice like it's on a water slide at the park. Just the same you guys found gold and I'm willing to bet all of you got bit by the gold 🐛

[@Gridlessness]

Welcome aboard! And thanks for the tips. :)

[@georgevangordon9728]

This could only ever be nothing more then a hobby. Chances of finding much gold would be pretty rare but somewhere in the back of your mind the excitement of the possibility would be enough to make it fun. And what a way to have family time..

[@rickreimer1050]

Viewed your video for the first time. Having the family out with you is very cool. Those girls are sharp and remind me of my daughter at that age. Well done.

[@josephknowlton7246]

Liked, shared and commented 😊

[@yankey4]

What a blessing. You guys looked like u had a lot of fun. Thanks for letting us be a small part. God Bless.

[@valeriep.8364]

Thanks Dan Hurd for sending me to this channel. Awesome. Your girls are delightful. What a fun bunch of folks. I'll be looking at all your videos shortly. Good effort.

[@Gridlessness]

[@stingrayhamaguchi6727]

[@CobHouseHomestead]

Always enjoy watching... hope you strike it big with the gold. . . just hope you would get back to more regular uploads

[@Gridlessness]

We're doing our best and should be better at posting a little more regularly.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

1/4 gram... not bad. Like anything else, the more you prospect, the better you get. Ol' Danny Hurd is a good teacher... well, he actually is a teacher. When you add in the fun you had getting that gold, the value goes waaaaaaaay up.

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

I knew you were going to say Dan Hurd before you even said! :D You should totally invite him onto your claim, that would be an amazing collaboration.

[@Gridlessness]

I know right?

[@fabiobeyhautkuhn2211]

Nice vid!All the family is there!Tough girls!Congratulations!Im a Danhurder too,ja ja,from Uruguay,Fabio

[@jackflint3546]

Gotta love it. you have the whole family out there.

[@edwardmcbain5730]

Hi.Guys do not despair the next hole could blow you away.That is the joy of mining.Luck Mcbain.

[@Gridlessness]

Thanks McBain!

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

Yes thank you Dan Hurd. That being said by all , you guys have an awesome channel, love your family and videos!

[@3Sphere]

Woot! What an extremely cool little toy! May your dreams of avarice at least pay for that machine! At any rate you've already gotten your money's worth. The real gold runs on two and even four legs... :) You give us in the peanut gallery the real gold. No fools gold there! LoL.... All I gotta say is good ol' Dan the Canadian! Well, and, there's no doubt that cool hats are very important in life...

[@davemuse419]

Jeff and Dave need to go on the road as a comedy act. Dave plays a great straight guy. Hey?

[@eljonguito2496]

Came here from Dan’s channel, I just wanna say congrats to you guys, at least you can measure your gold, I’ve only gotten a couple flour gold pieces.

[@Gridlessness]

Thanks! May your panning future be great!

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

agree with your assessment of Dan Hurd ! great guy great educational videos

[@mrgil1247]

Fun to watch!!! Good luck to find full gram per day!

[@rayslaughter7213]

Good video. The ending was funny

[@rodolfocarrillohernandez2882]

[@robertzavala92]

Ooh, nice garnets there.

[@raulmanderson2875]

Good stuff !

[@rastamanralph6670]

Dan's the man!!! I'm a Dan hurder addict too and like you he's taught me a lot of things gold related and gems.the best thing is he's got a sense of humour like myself and I can relate to him.plus he always replies to comments👍 check out some of my videos.I don't find that much either but it's all about getting away and being one with nature and water.I have found nuggets but few and far between so that motivates me more.

Jeff and Dave Mackenzie's "Great Special Moments"

[@rickstaco]

Really awesome video

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Great stuff. Keep trying guys and you will find the good stuff. Look in the bedrock cracks rather than the dirt. It could be fun with less back breaking work.

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

We will round up for easy math. $500 sluice box divided by $5 a day equals100 more days like that and you’ll be making money. 👍😂 It’s awesome to see raw gold pulled straight from the ground. You can’t put a price on quality time with family.

[@Gridlessness]

I agree, family time is priceless!

[@JustAnotherTrader]

What do you think of using a screen to classify your material before putting it in your sluice box. You may be knocking some of the gold out of your pockets from the larger rocks coming through the sluice box. Just a thought.......... Ask Jeff Williams is a great channel on youtube for armature gold mining.

[@rivenmain2175]

thats so much gold!! nice

[@derekmills5394]

Imagine if you found enough to make 5 wedding rings! I mean eventually! That would be some achievement.

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

And that is how we feel when we go fishing here. Luckily we all love the experience.. Right.... right? Lol.

[@Outdoors2Adventure]

Enjoy your channel. Especially the chats with your pal. You two crack me up. Question: What is the green miller table that you used at the end to get the gold from the sand? Thanks!

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

keep em comin! :)

[@jeffdevine6387]

if you sluff off that first couple feet of overburden, your losses will be minimal, and you could run more of that rich material at the bottom :)

[@RoanokeParanormal]

You could buy a beer with that..

[@leannkennedy6568]

Your commentary is cracking me up!

Nothing like real life living! Bigger gold is deeper if you aren't on bed rock, or in a lower location!

The joy is in the chase, not the catch...right? ;)

[@mayakhan7185]

Good job

[@winterburan]

happy new year !!!

[@Gridlessness]

Happy New Year to you as well!

[@eldredrahko6881]

Get some miner moss and strch metal in that box and you get a lot more gold, i dump buckets in and let it go and never loose any gold. unless you get some clay then you need to prewash.

[@janepeacock-baillie3380]

Great video. And the amount of gold is not worth as much as the quality time with your family and friends. Stay safe and dig that gold 😊

[@Gridlessness]

I agree!

[@paulwheeler4893]

That was great thanks ! 😂

[@t00ls742]

yup...water is running way too fast @ 5:28 I saw a piece of gold wash right off the high banker

[@goldhunterexploration-shei5873]

👍👍👍

[@CluelessHomesteaders]

That’s so cool I think VA has more Silver than Gold, but I have seen folks dredging for it in the river before. Nothing like your “claim” though! New sub here, looking forward to 2019... Cost is always relative! Lol

[@Gridlessness]

Great to have you along with us!

[@t2tatu]

💕💕💕

[@Misunderstood78ca]

Its about the adventure not the gold!

[@mattparker9726]

what's your cost of fuel per hour? have you considered a wood gassifier?

[@joshuaturner7315]

Try Gold Hog mats. Pretty good products with very high capture rates.

[@patdexter9188]

I think the mat wasn't catching the gold. It was float right over the top not getting into the swirling action like its designed to do. Hope they saved the cons!

[@quantum8037]

Your video is very interesting👍👍, and I want to be friends with you, I'm from "Borneo Metal Detector" Indonesia 🇲🇨, Greetings ... 🙏👌👋

[@rickjehuran104]

Wow Where this is..??

[@mattparker9726]

I think the river is a better payout. IDK. I sure am interested.

[@jamest.5001]

So if a bear is coming at you. Do not let it get your gold!

[@mariobayeng5734]

I think many gold if you reach the original soil

[@Gridlessness]

Yay! Thats so awesome! We're glad to have you along with us! We've never visited England, but we would love to visit Oxshott one day. Jeffs Grandad was born and raised there and we'd love to see his house as it is still standing! That's one of the cool things about England. The history!

how much is a gram worth?

[@xenaguy01]

Depends on what day you're asking. The price fluctuates. Right now, (Feb 6, 2021) it's $58 USD ($74 CAD,. $75-1/2 AUD).

[@themanonthestreet]

Certainly not a pro but it seems to me that the water is on too heavy and probably washing out some...

[@NewfoundlandDetectorist]

Definitely not as easy as it looks. More test panning.

Please have your girls wear appropriate foot protection when shoveling, grown men get injured wearing sneakers on jobsites.

I hate to say it BUT show more talk a little less please
