  • Always love checking out new spots on the Fraser River. This spot took some searching, but eventually found the hot spot, and had a great first day to the season gold panning along the Fraser river. Which included finding a literal pile of gold.

    Also, the biggest piece of gold around is you, Dan, and we thank you for inviting us along every week to watch you poke, prod, and dig for gold and precious stones.

    And to those wondering....
    Dan can make more money from youtube ad revenue by just taking it easy and prospecting for gold, than he can by breaking his back shoveling and panning in one spot nonstop.
    Hard-core people like the nonstop gold panning....BUT the masses of people like the "adventure" of prospecting videos.
    So it makes more sense for him to cater to the larger audience....

    I had a question about the last area that produced the most gold in your pan. Do you that it might be that the area is not as accessible, thereby it is not "worked" as often? Just a thought....
    It was wonderful to see you so relaxed and enjoying the 'hunt.' Your smile said it all! I appreciate you and your family. I hope that everyone is doing well and hope to see them soon. In the meantime, I'll send you extra sunshine and blessings from Alabama ❤️
