Should I buy this Gold Claim?

[@neon9999]

I like how you're experimenting with cinematography now. Beautiful shots :)

[@billjacobson163]

That claim does look promising! Have fun!

[@ilonamollema6467]

Congrats with your new claim! That it may bring you lots of gold and joy in prospecting it!💛 If you ever stop with gold prospecting, you would be a great nature filmographer. You've got great eye for the little details. Love those views almost as much as you finding gold.

[@glasstron6534]

Yes you should get it. Nice access, even for the oldtimers, even tho I'm still a spring chicken at 51.

[@13mjunky]

I like that after you chirped with enthusiasm, you quickly check your surroundings for attackers XD

[@donnakoren8970]

Another great video Dan. Such a beautiful spot as well. Love looking at the gold under the microscope. Hope you buy this gorgeous claim, and find many,many nuggets on it!!😀

[@majabdou31]

Enjoy watching your videos Dan!

[@Chungi2020]

Love your channel Dan im very happy that you have recovered from your heart condition, truly and example of perserverance and the will to keep going, God bless you buddy keep them shiny vids coming

[@donfisher-w8y]

Seems like you get your fair share of "haters" online! Pay them no attention. They are their own problems, please keep doing what you do!!

No snow yet..... lucky you!!!! Gotta stay on it Dano!!!!!!!✅✅✅

I'm sure snow is on it's way tho!

[@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD]

Nice fall color leaves along the river. Have a good one. Take care and be safe out there buddy.

You Too

[@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD]

@@fernandodanielalvarez8416 , ill have to go take a look around. Im here in cali in gold country. Have a good one buddy.

[@MrJFoster1984]

Maybe after this video you will name the new claim windy banks! Thanks for sharing

[@victario888]

Dan...gold does not rust !~ oh and while you were panning....you were looking around for Bear!

[@ryantimmins9479]

True, Gold doesn't rust but you rarely find 24kt Gold. It is always alloyed with other metals. Electrum is a well known natural alloy of Gold with a high silver content for example. I have found reddish gold like Dan did and I believe it is Gold with a high copper content.

[@stevemackinnon5031]

Great spot Dan Hope you received a good deal on the claim loved all that moss looked really cool

[@1kreature]

How nice! Carpeted rocks for nice comfy panning.

[@Danhurd]

Yes!

[@1kreature]

@@Danhurd I like it! Did you get it yet? Also, I have finally panned my first ultrafine gold! I simply ground up some old RAM chips and then panned out the powder. (Ground it under water.) Very satisfying and the fine gold stays put in the pan in a way you can't describe or understand when looking at the videos. One has to experience it. So much fun!

[@johnwright9285]

Dan don't worry about the people that think you are only doing it to sell claims. You can please some of the people most of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time. You know what you are doing and even if you were going out just to finds claims to sell to others you are working for it. I believe that some of those people that are getting upset are doing so because they are not doing that themselves. So keep up bringing us this really good content, sorry I am not a patreon member because I am just a college student, and good luck on your next video.

[@sigdog365]

Dan, I love the reference to klesh guitars, and how you threw the snuffer into the pan. Keep up the good work.

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Dan, Like all the work you put into cking out claims and research ! You are an inspiration to us prospectors!👍👍👍

[@dennisstewart9245]

great video Dan, if the price is right yes you should purchase the claim, because it would be perfect for patreons to work and to test some new equipment cheers

[@PatrickLancasterNewsToday]

Nice, I have always wanted a claim

[@Danhurd]

You should get one

[@MUDSWAT]

You have a great personality and I enjoy your content keep up the good work! The first pan I'd say NO but after the 2nd and 3rd pan I changed my mind to a yes.

[@Danhurd]

Thanks

[@catch22frubert]

Very nice claim. Seems like there is decent gold there. It's going to be difficult to keep claim jumpers off of it, since it's an easy spot to get to. You might have to put up some very noticeable signs that are very easily seen by all passing by. Also, I think those red/gold flakes might just have high copper content, or they are just stained with iron rust. Either of those are feasible explanations.

[@Matteo-jd6mt]

the cinematic shot at 14:35. do more of those that was awesome.

[@justinernsberger1817]

As always enjoyed every minute of the video. That's a great family claim! We really hope you get it. If your ever in California we'dove to have you out to our claim. Cant wait to see the next one. Much love from California.

[@Washman-jw3hl]

Wow Dan the claim certainly does look good. I would love to see what the last owner found on it and would love to know if he's just moving on to bigger and better things or if he's just not finding what he originally bought the claim for. It does look great though. Good luck on getting it Dan. If anyone deserves it for the hard work and dedication they put into their KZbin channel, it's definitely gotta be you.

[@artigane51]

great spot Dan

[@JackTheRabbitMusic]

Hey Dan, what's the name of that guy's guitar channel you flashed on screen? I couldn't read the spelling...is it Klashe? I'm a songwriter, and have my songs here on KZbin, but I also like to buy and sell guitars...so that mention caught my attention. I can't really get out and do what you do (though, I wish I could), but I have a question: I'm in San Francisco, California - where would be the first place you'd go to pan gold if you came here for a short visit? I want to try this panning for gold stuff for myself, but I'm not really sure where to begin! Anyhow, I love the channel and I'm learning a lot. Thanks, and peace. 🐰🎸🎶✌

[@chrismyers9273]

There's so much gold in that moss! Yes get that claim!

[@joeljeffery8704]

Looks like you have a "flakerplacer" claim. It might be worth your time and money to buy this claim. Nice gold, easy access, the Fraser River, beautiful scenery, it has a lot going for it. Thanks Dan, really enjoyed it and look forward to seeing your next trip there.

[@omegaseamaster1550]

Any Day above Ground is a Gorgeous Day !!

[@xcvsdxvsx]

+1 "I hope you like what you see well enough to subscribe." better than the job interview opening :D

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

Interesting variation in color on those flakes. I hope you talk more about what causes it. Glad you decided to put in an offer on this site.

[@coalsilvermuzzle3111]

Dan, this may seem like an odd request ... but how about a video on finding and filing a claim (and forfeited one) on minefile?

[@icarus877]

It looks like a lovely spot, catches the sun and gives warmth but it could be windy. All the very best to you.

[@derricksouthwood2192]

Absolutely beautiful spot! Love what your doing and your channel. Being from Indiana, where there is no natural gold, I truly enjoy seeing where the placer gold( left here , little as it is, from the last ice age) came from( ours traveled from Canadian deposits, making its way to my back door). Keep up the awesome work. Happy prospecting!!

[@13xios]

What Dan calls "flakes" is what we call giant nuggets in Oregon lol

[@EPSGplayer]

Yeah he’s become rather greedy

[@geotaos]

Really enjoyed your camera work in this one, got some nice artitistic compositions like those lens flares, and the pan/zoom out before those

[@Danhurd]

Thank you so much. I had fun with this one

[@jonayoung1708]

Always an adventure. First step is out the door. Thanks for taking us with you and i may have to become a patron just to come hang out.

[@MikeSmith-ek6mc]

Nice first day Dan, looks like a good claim. Congratulations

[@davidpruitt3982]

BUY IT DAN!!

[@BeefyPrepperthegolddigger]

Buy it Dan!!! I want to see more here. Highbanking should be a smashing time!!

[@petaks01]

Nice spot, not buying it would be a bad decision. Love how your camera work is evolving too, getting so much nice shots now compared to the older vids.

[@kathyscallan8338]

Hello Dan love watching your videos. Also love your humor. Learning for if I ever get to pan for gold. I have panned in Anchorage Alaska. Bent over in a river for 3 hours. The next day I could barely walk. LOL!!

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Yes I’m 124 !!! Great video Dan the Panning man

[@starman10548]

GOOD LOOKING GOLD.

[@alexlucyk8179]

Great place to bring a bobcat for a sweet high banking day !

[@ZE0XE0]

if those flakes came out of a place with a lot of sulfides that weathered, the rust would make sense.

[@johnnyrutherford4781]

I would say that clam is well worth the price.... I so enjoy watching you pan I hope your pan always finds gold......

[@juststeve4991]

Good luck with the claim Dan.

Interesting..the stained gold...an old timer told me there are black stained nuggets that have come out around Churn..from the decaying salmon..he said..

Hi Dan I have thoroughly enjoyed your prospecting experiences the past few weeks, (good and bad ones)! I must be tough also maintaining a you tube channel and all too! Nice Job Dan! Well Wshes & All The Best:)

Nice spot, easy vehicle, and human access, has gold, so looks GREAT ! Another interesting video...thanks Dan :)

[@dewfew1]

Greetings Mr Hurd, thank you for sharing a wonderful video. I am from the northern CA desert area and live in an area that I call the sand pit of CA/world and enjoy watching your videos. I would like to ask you a question Sir, from one of your other video's you mention you are not allow to disturb any green vegetation including moss. Am I wrong but, it looks like every boulder and rock is coated in moss on the bank where you were digging. How can you dig there and not disturb the moss with all the rocks in the area covered in moss. Thank you again for sharing another wonderful video. Love watching and learning from your videos. Respectfully dd

[@gregsmith1116]

Hi Dan! Buy that new claim! Looking good and shiney!

I am 80years old I like metal detectors and pan for gold from Pennsylvania usa . Love you videos hope to here from you get pay dirt from kelch

[@phyllisparmenter818]

Dan, It just amazes me how rough or, to me, sloppy with your pan you can be after you have removed the big rocks on the top. I want to know how you know just how rough you can be without worrying about losing gold. It just doesn’t look right!!! Can you help me determine the happy medium you have found and how to get a feel for it?? You are always giving little tutorials and I need this one and I’m sure there are others who view it the same way as I do. Thanks a million. You are the best!!

[@LHknives]

Pickerton was really stunning in the sunlight on that day

[@purplenewbiejuiceoutdoorad6751]

Hi Dan, that might not be a lady bug that we are all used to. There's an invasive bug, I think from China or Japan, that looks like a lady bug. You can tell by some facial features and if they get threatened, they will bite. We have a ton of them here in Massachusetts. Oh yeah...the name lady I think is in the name also. Good luck on the claim. Tibbs 👍

[@davidshupe5405]

So where does all the Frasier's gold come from, the mother load?

I'm happy with what I got it for

[@JadesAdventures22]

looks like a good claim

[@rogerdudra178]

I'd say it's probably worth it from a logistical perspective. It showed enough color to get the point across without goin into the bush far. Pilgrims will think its quite wild.

[@danh1202]

Also seems like a great fishing spot

[@anthonysakowski9261]

[@howardwolfe6791]

Hi Dan I have a question for you? I live by the north Saskatchewan River right? Well I'm going to start panning for gold this year . Now in the olden days prospectors used to stop here for gold and they did find quite abit . They stopped doing that way back in 1930s they were on there way up to the Klondike. But there's a gold and diamond mine just about ,20-40 kls away from here . It's been going for alot of years now. Well the question I have for you is where would I mine for gold around here . And what kind of ground should I look for ? Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. My name is Howard

[@northmanlogging2769]

So whats the rules on moving some of them boulders and seeing whats underneath? Probably just use a pick up winch no need for massive equipment or anything... also whats the likely hood of finding anything in them placer pits?

[@Free_Aussie]

Hi from Oz Dan. Love your vids, you cover a little bit of everything gold mining which helps newbies like me work out where and what to look for. If you haven't used the dream mat yet you will be suprised at the ultra fine micro gold it can catch. From one spot I go I got 300+ specs for a total wieght of .23g. Its super small but the dream mat can catch it. Best bit of kit I bought. Look forward to more great vids👍

[@donaldjohnson4019]

Please E Mail Me Anyone Who Would Consider taking me panning still recouping Maybe March or April next year. Thanks Dj

[@SCW1060]

Dan I use Diggings to find mines both active and abandoned mines. All you have to do is find one in a gold barring district and go check it out and grab some samples to see if it's worth claiming it

[@TheGoalie473]

Hey Dan! just want to say thanks for all the amazing videos!!! and best of luck reaching 100k by 2020!!! I believe!!!!
