Using Magnets to Clean GOLD!

Gold is not magnetic, but you can use magnets to clean your gold concentrates, by using the magnets to remove the magnetic black sands, leaving just the non magnetic gold behind. This video shows you the whole process by cleaning a bucket of black sand concentrates and recovering the gold.

Dan Hurd panning on the kitchen table is the most Dan Hurd thing I've ever seen.

[@apollion888]

I just discovered your channel day before yesterday and have watched maybe a dozen videos so far. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I hope the hills are as kind as you are enthusiastic.

[@Scott93312]

I agree. I've been watching his videos for a couple years now. He's got loads of charisma.

[@susanturcotte3176]

Welcome to the "Hurd Herd" Apollion888! That's what we collectively call ourselves who follow Dan's adventures. Believe it or not, the first time I opened KZbin on my phone, the first thing in a list of videos was Dan Hurd Prospecting. His smile and incredible welcome stole my attention! He, and his whole family, are awesome, famous, and greatly respected people. He was my first subscription on KZbin and I couldn't get enough of his knowledge and adventures! His personality kind of hooks you like a fish! 🐠 Secretly, I know that I should stop going for the bait! 😔 Anyway, if you really want to learn all about gold, geology, gems, etc, go back under his channel and watch him from the very first video. He hasn't changed a bit and you will have a knowledge base that keeps on growing 💗

[@stevenlaxton3618]

I’ve been watching for years now and you are 100% correct. He is passionate but not annoying. I love the info from Jeff Williams but struggle to watch a video of his… while Dan and Klesh and Vogus I can watch a couple videos back to back

[@Imnoexpert69420]

Kinda addictive huh?

[@apollion888]

he's enjoying life way more than me and God Bless him for it @@Imnoexpert69420

[@josephcormier5974]

Tyler is doing pretty good if that's all you got from half the materials thanks for sharing this with us six stars

[@rca-in-glasgow6781]

Dan Hurd anywhere doing just about anything is FUN. 😊

[@UnholyBe4st]

Dan it honours you that you give the option to skip with an exact time stamp but i really must say that those who skipped missed one of the best tutorials on panning heavies! I myself enjoyed it thoroughly and still got around a minute of it to go. Thanks for showing it!!

[@user-nv8xi7pj2j]

Dan you definitely get a thumbs up. It’s always great to hear your voice and see you and your positivity we think of you as a dear friend in our lives and welcome in our home. Always looking forward to seeing you! I really wish we were not separated by so many miles and a border. Maybe someday I can get up there and pan a little on the Frazier river or somewhere. But if not I will see you every chance I get with each notification keep up the great work stay warm and Thank you sincerely!!❤️🕊⛪️😇🙏🎯

[@darntootin6423]

On location videos rock, but i do also enjoy as much with the shop videos.

[@stevenfouquette591]

Thank you for the panning lesson.

[@802OutdoorAdventures]

I love that dry magnetic separator! Makes clean up so much easier!

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

I love the gold cleaning episodes. Not exciting but just enjoyable. Also crazy seeing Alex in uni after all these years. I remember him being a wee lad. Getting old is weird.

[@danielimpett1277]

I love the 'Dan in the shop' type videos the same as I love the many types of videos you're releasing cause you're just an interesting guy living an interesting life so everything and anything is interesting as hell dude

[@timothysmith1100]

DAN - I loved the way you constantly changed the camera views the zoomed in ones. Definitely kept the video interesting. As boring as it could have been with any other creator. This is why I think your the best

[@GokouZWAR]

Dan, I love this type of video. You skip a lot of cleanup and it’s nice to see how that’s done. Please do more “shop” video.

[@madshephard2boots157]

I think you did a great job with this video even with it being winter. At least you have prospecting work to be done year round. Thank you..

[@robertslusser6753]

Watching a master craftsman at work. Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait to see you back out prospecting. Right now it's about 43 degrees F here in northeastern PA, however, two days ago it got up to 63 degrees F and we have no snow, no ice on the ponds and very little if any ground frost. Having said that, we have a storm coming that could give us up to a foot of snow Monday night into Tuesday. Dan, hope you are enjoying your winter downtime with your family.

[@timmynorfolk7817]

That contraption is freaking awesome Dan

[@susanturcotte3176]

I'm so sorry for getting locked out of chat multiple times. I missed you all! Thank you so much Dan for sharing your adventures and knowledge with all of us! Have a beautiful day everyone 🏵️

[@surfinsilver]

Why did you get locked out my friend?

[@susanturcotte3176]

@@surfinsilver I have no clue. It never happened before and I tried everything I could think of to open chat back up. Finally had to completely close KZbin and reopen Dan's page 3 times. The third time, it wouldn't open again. So, I wanted to let everyone know that I couldn't get back on. It was strange.....

[@Nicoandy01]

I dont mind the shop videos, cool to see the different aspects of what you do. Love the content.

[@Patryn71]

For those of us that suck at C to F conversions on the fly, -22C is -7.6F, and -55C is -67F which is insanely cold. The coldest I can ever remember being in is when I was a kid up in the Pocono mountains of PA. Woke up one morning and the thermometer outside the window (nailed to a tree) was reading -30F. Being a kid I bundled up and went outside to play on the frozen lake. Nowadays my joints would hate me for being in that type of cold.

[@TheDadFaxs]

Videos like this help new prospectors so anyone who has a problem with it. I say this we were all new prospectors at one time in our lives. And you're never too old or too good. Not to go back to the basics

[@arreh]

This reminded me I need to clean up my cons from last season! I love watching the whole cleanup process!

[@jfk64kennedy95]

morning all, hope all the Hurd Herd doing well... haha, next yr...Son enrolls at Florida State...😆😆😆

[@GSProspecting]

Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

[@manjisaipoe517]

Love your content Dan, and love Tylers too, thanks for introducing him to your viewers. Peace.😊

[@user-gs6lp9ko1c]

I like the videos with you in the shop. I know nothing about processing gold or gems, so this is interesting and new for me!

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

Your videos follow the heartbeat of the seasons, something my job never really gave me. No bad thing to be reminded of.

[@buscandooroartesanalmentes3823]

Your video is very educational, thank you for sharing with us, cordial greetings from Colombia. 🎉🎉🎉

[@nopelindoputraperkasa5869]

Using magnet to cleaning gold..? Very inspiring and useful.. good luck🇮🇩😍😍👍

[@jonnydude90210]

Dan, I've been watching for a few years, I enjoy the regular season videos, and as a fellow Canadian I look forward to the winter shop videos, stones being cut, trying out new gold processing equipment, etc.

[@DyanEsoap]

Awesome video, loved seeing the slow motion of the magnetics walking along!

[@aclearlight]

Great fun from the happiest of all experts! You are a national treasure!

[@richardwarnock2789]

It's 🥶 Cold! hey it's Gold I'm got to watch Dan Panning gold in doors for Sunday is Fun Day!!

[@boulderboyv10]

Tip for cheap DIY dust control; get a big box fan and find a similarly sized furnace filter. Tape the filter to the intake side of the box fan. Place it next to where you're working and fire it up. It won't get all of the dust but it'll keep it under control. You'll still need your mask and filter but your glasses wont coat as quick lol

[@ijones79]

It was pretty cold here that week. Nice to know how much gold you could loose using a magnet like that.

[@OpenSpaceWellness]

One area I tend to work holds lots of blacksand. This video has given me some great ideas! Thanks for sharing 🙏❤️🌲

[@johnnybushman651]

Thanks Dan,enjoyed the video watching you clean out the black sands, something I have trouble with. One day I’ll be good at it like you.

[@melinmm3280]

Thank you for the video!

[@rudysmith2946]

Very good cleanup method. Thank you.

[@EastBayFlipper]

That video was really enjoyable and calming too. Thanks buddy 👍

[@lewislong4003]

I don't care WHERE you are Dan, you are beyond awesome! I'm fixing to begin panning for gold in Georgia soon, your tips and older classroom vids have been imbedded into my mind! (Hope I apply them properly!) Wish me luck, because I know I'll enjoy!

[@OttawaOldFart]

It's all part of the process and is appreciated.

[@billreinhardt3684]

Always a great clip

[@davidoconn9352]

Thank you Dan! This was as good or better that one would expect..Bravo! I can't fathom living where it is so cold...So-Cal has lot's of the "Shiny" and it is warm ! The Gavilan hills in Riverside where I spent my youth has produced well. There are many mines. The Good hope mine was a big one.Thank you again Dan!

[@jayarnett4157]

Really nice video Dan. I like watching you in the shop or anywhere you want. You always keep it interesting. TYVM

[@dodgeit3014]

Great video Dan.

[@Golden-dog88]

hey Dan im just starting to get some gear together to go fossickin its good to know how long panning actually takes most videos show it as a timelapse and it makes people think its quick n easy when its really this long n tedious. Great job mate 👍 from Newcastle NSW

[@wrxs1781]

Good video Dan, and it really shows how much gold can be recovered, but the processing seems tedious.

[@speedwayaudio3]

You should lay a towel over the output and pan to keep the dust controlled.

[@williamhiller3988]

Panning 101. Good lesson!

[@thegootch2098]

Dan had you come to the Regina gem show I would have bought some ocean picture stone. I only saw a few others selling your rocks.

[@GG-jm6gi]

Some of that black sand can be refined into really good iron that's used for knife making.

[@upnorth6722]

Awesome video again Dan !

[@billbucktube]

Super demo!

[@ahoytheremate1954]

just checked the temp at Mawson stn Antarticia its -40c at moment cheers mate

[@shanna74]

Beautiful whiter scenery at the start of video

[@bw4593]

lol loved the proud papa moment to find a way to brag on your son headed to uni ❤ That is cold though!!!!

[@douglasnelson8276]

Eight years and never saw you do that before. Do more technique in your shop for we couch potato winter miners. Love that stuff

[@oldinuselesshancox5194]

Thanks to all for a nice time spent 👍👍🤟🖖

[@MAMAROSEGOLD_USA]

Wow, using magnets to clean gold? That's innovative! I never would've thought of that. Can't wait to see how effective it is in action! 🤯👍

[@markpashia7067]

Works for black sands made of iron but don't try it on black sands made of tin like in parts of Australia. They are not magnetic.

[@grasshoppercrews1296]

Always teaching us tin horns new tricks,thanks again Dan

[@angelus3532]

Wow! Good video Dan

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@debcamp2359]

Thx for the video.

[@terrypokorny3858]

Dan you are living in a very beatuful location except for the cool winter weather. But i like the snow covered woods.

[@henrymuzgay1023]

great job dan

[@shanepowers7566]

Hi Dan, Hello from Midwest Oklahoma.

[@Veidr99]

Can't wait to do this one day

[@trainman2860]

During that cold snap we hit -40 over here in Princeton. Not going to be able to dig the ground till April.

[@highseassailor]

Bravo, Encore!!!

[@SnarkasticSunny]

You are always interesting & fun to watch! Alot of work put in, for little gold out...but, freezing butt cold there(!), so what the hey ~ good way yo soend the day! Right?

[@williamchristian5188]

Like your ocean picture stone stand for the magnetic separator

[@Danhurd]

Ya, just a simple $1000 rock for a stand.......

[@peterwright217]

93.2f here down under (Bendigo vic). good to see you wearing a mask. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Gomorragh]

we have seen you pan fast and pan slow, we keep coming back, the rocking water is also relaxing too

[@deusdragonex]

We need to get you partnering with Smarter Every Day to take a real close look at that magnetic separator.

[@durtyt4770]

I broke down and bought a grain mill off amazon for processing ore. It cost less than an angle grinder crusher and you can process more faster.

[@gandyman9999]

Well Dan if you like panning , I've got some wire-silver cons you can try ! Eye-crossing tediousness.

[@stevemull2002]

This part is the bit i find most interesting

[@StratRider]

it seems that this would have been a good job for the Blue Bowl or maybe one of the other Fine Gold methods

[@Denpachii]

When using the grinder to crush the stuff, just cover the pan and the end of the spout with a cloth. The dust should be trapped under the cloth and can be shaken into the pan when done. Even better, set it up to discharge into one of those buckets, cut a hole in a lid for the grinders spout and you can feed it into an enclosed container with basically no dust.

[@iauadams]

Will you be at the Red Deer rock and gem show??? And, I especially like these videos. Any panning is good panning. I always look forward to your videos.

[@dawndixon402]

😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Watching the machines doing so much of the work. I s like watching a magic show. Thank you for sharing

[@garydhaese7318]

Old Timer used Mercury and paid the price with their health. A friend of mine who was a Placer miner from the Yukon recieved gold injections in an attempt to remove Mercury from his system. Sadley it was a temporary fix as he later passed from Cancer. So much of the fine gold was lost in the tailings in the old days.

[@cx7sleven369]

I think we need more bob ross moments like that!

[@snailspace3938]

Fascinating

[@forrestthompson8714]

Sonic vibration doesn't work? Always thought that would remove flexible metal from hard substrate at the start. Maybe even in the mine? Just a thought.

[@johnpawicz292]

Don’t mind watching you pan. I am just starting to learn how to pan for gold. So the more I see, the more I understand the process.

[@kinotransam]

Hey Dan!!! Have you you ever swept up every inch of the shop floor and panned out the sweepings for gold? I'm sure you would be amazed of how much gold you would find. It would also make for great content. Sending much live from down here in Kentucky. ❤

[@Danhurd]

Because I use this shop for rock cutting, the floors are always covered in oils.

[@Thuddster]

yes, +1 1 for Team Panning. Very Zen, very rewarding...🙂

[@BigSteve456]

If you would like to reduce dust from your crusher, you can put a jar/cup on the bottom to catch it, then cut the bottom off a balloon and stretch the bigger end of the balloon over the top of your vessel and stretch the smaller end of the balloon over the spout coming off your crusher.

[@TroyDowVanZandt]

There's an outfit in the Phoenix area that you can send you black sand cons to, and they'll leach the gold out chemically. It'd be interesting to see whether you could use a chemical method at home without turning your garage into a super fund site.

[@jamest.5001]

I have never panned before, but thinking about giving it s go. And wondering if there was any advantage with pan size? Or is it just larger pans process faster?

[@gregfyn]

Silly question, could you use those magnetics in a smelt?

[@jesstreloar7706]

4:12 Works better than nothing! 12:30 On long trips, "Are we there yet?" Mom's answer was, "It's not the destination but the journey that is important." Ugh!

[@andrewtheriault1995]

I'm from southern ontario in niagara and yesterday was sixteen degrees celsius

[@sheslikeheroin1661]

Cheers from Regina

[@puddler3327]

Hello Dan I’m watching your magnet video eight hours after you put it up I heard you said somewhere it’s 52 below Celsius where I am in Victoria Australia today it’s 40 Celsius wayne

[@carroll-w7wxv]

We like watching you pan, we get to count how many flakes get blown out . LOL

[@GeoFitz4]

Would the gold wheel be effective for cleaning up this kind of material or are the cons too small for it to work? This feels like quite a bit of work for a small amount of gold, though it's also not a lot of material you have done. So more wondering if you were doing a full scale cleanup, like the entire season's worth of magnet gatherings, if there's a more efficient way to separate the gold and cons.

[@Tallenn1]

I was in Regina yesterday. Welcome to Saskatchewan. LOL

[@skeets6060]
