Jealousy. There are people that are simply miserable and angry at other people for following their dream. Not necessarily because Dan finds gold. He could probably do videos about doing embroidery while out and about and people would still report him for god knows what.

Hello there Dan! I can only speak for myself, but I think of all the KZbin prospectors on this platform, you are BY FAR the most outwardly law and environmentally conscious one that there is. This is not a judgment or casting shade on other prospectors, just a statement of respect and an acknowledgment of how obvious it is that you care about doing things right and taking care to cover your bases. Please don't let those out there that are hateful and malicious toward you and your channel discourage you or get you down. Keep up the amazing work, and continue using your best judgment.

I can agree with this. Of the prospectors i've watched, Dan is the one who makes a point with every large dig to mention or even record the reclamation process.

Obviously the regulations here in the states are different (and vary a bit from state to state) but when we had some earth work done on our property in a known gold bearing area, they hit a band of gravel and black sand. The digging crew took a day off and panned the material. Nothing was found but since nobody owned the mineral rights and the area wasn't claimed, it was permitted since it was prospecting for a potential claim similar to what you were doing with that material.

Hi Dan, great video, I have explored this deposit before. In answer to your questions about the ministry, regulations, believe it would be both classified placer and mineral. Hint, I have crushed some of the conglomerate in the lower horizon and got small but rough edged gold from it. As far as the removal of material is a grey area, regulations have changed so much over the years. If it was staked, no problem, but because you have a free miners license, I would think you are ok.

Hey Dan! Gold Pan Dan here! 😁 In our area we have conglomerates that carry good gold and they were registered as lode claims here. Lode claims are staked on veins or lodes of quartz or other rock in place bearing gold. Since the conglomerate is a type of sedimentary rock formation it would be a lode or mineral deposit as you call it up north 😉. Two of the main areas I work for placer gold in my area are placer deposits created from the gold eroding out of the conglomerates. Keep up the good work!

Hey Dan! As far as I'm aware, any river run gravels are Placer, regardless of their proximity to water. Lode or Hard Rock, is exactly that, mineral in place within rock that has not been released. Although a conglomerate is hard, it is not a mass of rock formed within the earth, it was deposited by water. I could be totally missing the point, but that's how I've understood it, and it is why you can have Placer claims far away from water sources. Just like another prospector's Drift Mine, that is a Placer mine 40ft down below a dried up inland sea, below layers of conglomerate and solid Caliche.
