Thieves Steal My Gold! I need Revenge!
Вставка

- ARRG! Criminals! Thieves! I've been robbed! You don't want me to catch you. You will regret it!
Claim jumpers hit the Pickerton claim. Left a mess, both little and workings. You can clearly see where they work gold panning, where they were digging and go figure it is right where I just posted a video I was finding great gold. I was back on the claim less than a week after I posted the video of this spot and in that week the thieves hit. I had taken down the trail cam because it was eating batteries and just catching people walking their dogs but cameras are now back in place and if I catch the thieves I will be pressing charges.

This video is produced by Dan Hurd, Prospector, Miner, Teacher and UA-camr, as part of his UA-cam channel based on educational videos about gold mining, gold panning, prospecting, rock hounding, and mineral collecting.
I love how you care so much about the environment . You were more concerned about the natural beauty of of Pickerton more than the gold. I hope those claim jumpers find no gold .
Keep cameras on your claim Dan.. Catch those thieves! That's darn shameful to steal from someone.
It will make a good video when I catch them on video.
@@Danhurd HOW COULD THEY STEAL FROM DAN THE MAN ???? I ASK YOU DAN UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE WILL ENJOY YOUR CONTENT ......... THEN RUSH DOWN TO YOUR CLAIM. .......BUT GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS RIGHT WILL ALWAYS BEAT MIGHT ANYWAY THANKS DAN. I ENJOYED
Camera on the claim and one watching where people park as well. might be able to get some plate info.
That why I really research the area I want to go try to get some shiney from. I use digging to look up claims around the area I want to go to first to see if it's open or not. It's all all about respect for one another
Gee now your even telling us how much ya want from patrons 10 bucks does go a long way . Tell me about it I have very few bucks ..being a disabled american ya have to live cheaply. Nice to hear ya give your patrons a momento to remember where there money went. Size depending on how much ya give the little leper con hehehe ..
I love Dan's attitude and personality. He is so up beat and happy regardless of the situation. What a good guy he seems to be.
I mean look at the views i couldnt be to mad either seeing that
except when a rock moves without his knowledge... then look out!
I appreciate that you reclaim the area. I live near a river that was dredged decades ago and the evidence of mining damage is everywhere. All the soil was washed away and tailing piles of cobblestones are dead zones. Nothing can live there.
Well that's odd since all the humongous tailings piles here in Northern California or covered in trees moss plants
The Klesh Trench is all yours Dan, I will be back hopefully sooner than later and will find a new picker pit I know there’s plenty there!
Excellent!
Believe me the claim jumpers, may have a watcher when you leave home and know your schedule. Wow.
if all the properties and leases / claims are filled back in and turned to back into forests u get your carbon credits after every things is fully reclaimed in a few more years after the trees grow back.
@@thirdeyepyramids7391 I know in the old days, if you were caught on someones claim, you would be shot
Love watching your videos as well as Dan Hurd, and Pioneer Pauly as well.! Learned a lot from you folks.! One of the most relaxing and in my opinion coolest hobbies ever.! Lot of work of course but it is just so much fun it is addictive.! Not that I'm telling you something you don't know... 😉😁👍🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭
Excellent video Dan. Thank you for showing the reclamation side of things when prospecting/mining. Beautiful closeup footage of the gold at the end of the video. Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoy watching all these. You seem like a very respectful person. I dig the way you respect the laws and nature. Need more of you on the earth. I’ve never prospected but it would be cool to come out with you and pan for a day!
Dan, your videos give others and myself so much joy and gut chuckles. I thank you for sharing a bit of yourself, hobbies,and friends with us. I know making videos is grueling at times, the sacrifice is well worth it from this side of the glass.
Lets hope the claim jumpers meet the bear, when Mr Bear is having a bad day,,,,
Exactly
Perfect
Claim jumpers run with guns too LOL
Spikey DaPikey 😂😂 funny...
Yeah, the "Angry West Hollywood Bear" !!😍
Hope you catch those claim jumpers! I'm super excited to get a picker from Pickerton!!!
Sorry to hear about your claim. I admire your efforts to preserve, manage your claim. It allows for further catching over the years.
Lovely flat flakes Dan. Sorry they messed up your claim but glad to see you still found gold AND did repairs too
It saddens me to see all of damage that the thieves did to your claim. You always keep your claims so neat and natural,just like Gary of two toes. I believe that this is why you and Gary are my favorite prospectors. Oh yeah, nice gold! Keep the great work.
Thanks!
I watch Dan because he's from my Province.
Gary is my favorite of all time though - he of all the YT gold channels I've found so far at least helps newbies understand what to look for and how to look / prospect. I always find I learn something every time I watch him.
I also find his style a lot more low key and humble, which I prefer over some of the more 'in-your-face' influencers looking to just catch clicks
I wish there were more miners that truly helped newcomers learn the hobby & how get into it
I still feel new to all this. How do we find out where claims start and end. could you please do a vid on that?
It’s great that you’re reclamating Pinkerton! Bringing it’s beauty back!
Love the gold. Hope the jumpers found nothing!!!
I hope so too
Time to invest in some trail cams, and start a CSI Gold Claim video series... xD People love that kind of stuff.
Definitely earned my subscription 😅 I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past two weeks lol.
I really enjoy you being yourself and caring for the environment while you prospect. Keep it up Sir.
Please pan all that the thiefs left behind to see what they left, it would make a great vlog if you found something.
Good idea
Wow that’s sad sorry you going through that I know how that feel .. hope you find those thief’s
Ya that's what I would do hahahahah see what they left darn claim jumper used to be shot for that in the 1900zz
I’d love to see the jumpers on the trail cam!
Learned a great amount of rock hounding knowledge from watching your video's. Keep on the great work dan!
Curses on those dirty scoundrels! Love that you take care to return things to the state you found them in. Because you're so cool... I'm watching all the ads in this vid!
Dan, sorry to see the damage to your claim. It brings up a couple of subjects I hope you’ll cover at some point.
First, you’ve mentioned before that you buy and sell claims. How exactly does this business work? Do you buy claims that you think are undervalued, explore and hope to add value by proving you’ve found minerals? How do you find claims for sale? How do you market them?
Second, If I were to decide to head into the Sierra Nevadas with a pan, how could I avoid claim jumping? Do I just watch out for evidence of prospecting and avoid places where people are obviously working, or must I actually find a location that I know (through whatever research is necessary) to not be a gold claim?
Thanks for all the videos, I really enjoy your channel!
Better to do your due diligence in getting a claim. Buying is dangerous and you could be out thousands of $$$. Do research and get one by discovery.
Not sure how claims go but there have been many a claim someone thought was spent or worthless only to hit it rich. Buddy of mine did that in Arizona years ago with an old mine, but mining is a whole other world as apposed to panning.
I believe theres a website you can look up its like land rights or something and it will show you a map of wherever and it shows claimed and unclaimed land
Treasury net .com has a guy think called clay pans has site called land matters
Also claims should have a paper work tube and be posted
Treasure net
Hahaha. I’ve ran down river chasing pans, classifier and my snuffer bottle. Live and learn😂
Up on Siwash I used to put tailings in spots then make it look like it was fresh pay dirt with rocks on top. One time returning I saw hours had been spent panning those tailings LOL! My mentor in BC designed the Brittania mine rail system. Great history our province has.
Sure, good luck Dan and greetings from France!👍🏻 many thx for sharing 🍀🙏🏻
I like how u clean up and put things back the best u can
Michael Rowland it’s also required under the Minerals Act.
I try!
You need to put out a couple of fishing lines while looking for gold.
great video Dan, sorry to hear about the claim jumpers, hope you catch them on video and love seeing that gold and that is not a bad days work cheers
I’ve just gotta say you even take the negatives of claim jumpers with high positive spirits. Great attitude!!
Thanks!
Nice picture of the Gold at the end 👍
Those claim jumpers didn't watch your video's well enough.
Then they would have know how to find gold without making such a mess.
Hope all their fingers were bleeding after slamming bedrock. 🤬
Really hope you'll catch them on one of your camera's!!
But if they watch this UA-cam video, they know you're on the watch for them. So hopefully this was their first and last visit.
Glad you did find some nice pickers! Pickerton never disappoints. 👍🏻
Hopefully they don't return!
No matter how you look at it,
gold is beautiful!
About your classifier, you may not know, but you can purchase a very strong magnet and put it on a tether, drag it across multiple times and you are bound to catch it sooner or later.
Thank you Dan for your great video.
gold is beautiful. That river is so strong that that classifier is nowhere near Pickerton
@@Danhurd ok I see! That is definitely some strong current!
I am glad someone is posting their claim and taking action against claim jumpers-their actions hurt us ALL GOOD LUCK
Good mid morning from Northern Ontario!! :) Damb claim jumpers - hope they got nothing. Not cool.
Ya, I hope those cracks were empty. But what a mess they made.
Is it called the Pickerton claim because there's a ton of pickers?
yes
You bet!
Great video Dan, hope you catch those thieves. Though might you go through their mess, looks like they were rushing things and may of missed the good gold, just a thought. Keep up the awesome work.
Great video Dan, sorry you have to deal with claim jumpers. Some people have no respect!!
Great video Dan.. But a shame people cannot just stay on their own property..
Bjarke Vangsgaard bruh there’s no way you’ve already watched it
Yep it is a shame.
@@Danhurd From a legal standpoint what possibilities do you have ? Even if you manage to catch them in the act on camera, what can be done?
I know what it's like to be stolen from. Me being homeless I can't secure anything of value like food cloths it's may not be gold but it's vital to me.
Homeless?sell your phone few hot meals there.
@@dave-je3wp seriously? Hope you never have to experience homelessness. When people say dumb things like that it really shows what kind of person you are.
@@jamesconnerbircher5812 james who cares anyone who has a new phone cant be that desperate or poor i dnt know many homeless wth new phones perhaps if he quit the booze he wouldnt be hungry or if you want to help so bad offer him a bed . Lol says a idiot whos only vids posted are how to grow canabis lol idiot.
@@dave-je3wp my guy without a phone getting a job is next to impossible
Thank for sharing Dan. Sorry to hear about the claim jumpers.
Thanks
My best day so far has been about 0.2g. The gold where I have access is very small. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Beautiful color you got there😁👍
Hope that you manage to catch the claim jumpers on video...maybe a fingerprint from the pack o smokes?
Or blood DNA from the Pickerton shale? 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing. There's a good chance the claim jumpers left a fingerprint or two on that pack of cigs.
Lol this isn't fbi files
@@MrRedeyedJedi of course not....it's in Canada...all RCMP up there!
LoL no one gives a damn about claims LoL get over it LOL
HAHAHA i love your bitter comment about your classifyer! Priseless!
What a gentleman! Such a man of good cheer. I would have been carrying-on like a pork-chop if that happened to me. Top bloke!
Love your attitude to it, sorry to hear it happened to you cos you seem like a nice guy. I always think when people steal from me, they probably need it more than I do.
What comes around goes around! Maybe they made a video 🤣
jumpers were probably metal detecting and cherry picking. no time to 'work the material'. :(
True
37 is nice weather, it get to 42 here in west aus sometimes.Another good video keep up the good work and get them jumpers.
I love how your moving stuff back after digging around.
What kind of judgement does a claim jumper get, if you can catch them and prove it? Regardless I hope you catch them.
Maybe they did you a favor opening up the bedrock...
sorry that happened to you Dan. Thieves don't care how they act but i have to think if they knew you they would never have done that . you are a great guy and an excellent teacher to us all
Well, as a prospector and claim owner I know what it feels like to be ridiculed about my methods for finding gold so I want to thank You for flying in the face of those who doubt You and say stick to Your guns!! I really enjoy Your adventures and am glad I found You and subscribed. Always be safe and keep enjoying what we do!! May Your pans always be Golden.
Make the Claim Jumpers ' Walk the Plank !' Into the river Muhahahaha!
on a 100 degree day, what's the punishment there?
That's just sad put the cameras back up .i just don't understand people anymore
I agree
Anymore? People have been like this since god made dirt. Aint nothing new in this behavior.
Ever cast a fishing rod on a trip line and do a bit of fishing and panning at the same time? The rivers right there just saying.
@@TheAntonbacon Nope - just panning
It's 1630 pm PT found myself watching your videos all day, Keep it up. Your good
Catch those thieves!! And keep finding that gold! Great video!
maybe they will make a video of claim jumping and show the gold? lol
How does the Claim work? How do you lodge it? Is it registered in detail? Does a person going by know is claimed or not? Can you prospect without a claim? Do claimjumpers know they are claim jumpers?
I don't know how it works either, but 50 years ago, When I got interested, I studied first. Just panning to start, when you start sluicing, dredging and more, you have to know enough to make sure you can try for gold. If you go fishing, don't you know you have to have a license? If you went on a trip and came home to your house and strangers were in it, you know that would be wrong. Before you prospect for gold, make sure it's public land and permitted. Can imagine environmental things are different now too.
@@howardandrus8828 Yes but there is a difference between casually panning and industrial mining. How does someone know they are on someone else's claim
I mean, you don't just have all the tools and equipment to find a process gold, and not have legal access to any claim, without knowing what you're doing is illegal.
Who could da thief be?? No spoons left..... No guitar picks.... No Equipment left. Hmmmm??? LOL
Those thieves were just detecting the pickers i guess great video and good work on reclaiming cheers Glenno.
It's been over 100 for the last week. Stick your feet in the water and enjoy a nice sauna.
Dan i think ur doing great me and my son look forward to all your new videos and are massive fans iver hear in the U.K p.s keep up all the good work and hope your claim jumpers get there day all the best mate👊🏻
That is just awesome that you are putting everything back.
Beach umbrella and the directors chair and sit on the edge of the river panning that's what I do here in Oz
Some people are just disrespectful idiots, keep doing what you’re doing Dan. Love the videos xxx
Thanks.
Too bad people can't be nice and honest. Always someone out there that has to be ugly. Hope you catch your claim jumpers Dan. Wonderful Trail Cams
I like that u are doing the job! . I hope I learn more from ya it is fun
Nice to see that you show the reclamation process.so far your the only one to show the other side of mining.
Thanks! Will be showing more of this
Great gold, hope you have better luck next time. Thanks for sharing.
First off sorry about the Jumpers. Hate thieves. Second I love your enthusiasm. Your outlook even in those trying events, helps the wife and I keep our hopes up when we come across these type of issues.
Thanks!
Bye bye classifier 😢
Good thing you are so skilled to be able to pan without it!
The camera on your glasses does a really good job.
Love you videos and can’t wait for more collaborations!!
Thanks!
Hi Dan , a guitar and good amp is my Gold.
Love the channel .I can sit back and hunt gold with you from the comfort of my home thanks to you.
Thanks - glad you enjoy the channel!
Another great video Dan 👍👍keep up your search for the golden picker from Pinkerton 👍👍
Thanks Dan for the awesome video, I really enjoy watching them!! Thanks again, have a wonderful day!😎
Glad you enjoy them!
I'm real sorry you had thieves hit your claim Dan. I want to take over a closed claim here in Washington state but I am bit worried about claim jumpers too
It saddens me to see this but keep up the good work I do truly enjoy your videos thank you for the wisdom you've shared with the world
Sad to see thieving on your claim, but still a good video as always.. Your videos have inspired the missus and I to try our luck at the fort steele free panning reserve next week :)
I'm at the wildhorse and moyie lots. Good luck and have fun!
You are so respectful to the earth. Makes me so sad that people would do this, make a mess :( hopefully they left something for you.
Sorry babe
Awesome video, love your humor. Keep the videos going.
I appreciate your efforts towards the tenants of "Leave no Trace" and respect for the environment. Thank you
Omg
Hi Dan! - I enjoy your videos, I live in MN and prospect in Montana. Look forward to prospecting with you someday when I can get the time to come to B.C. again, such beautiful country!
You planted a little weed in Canada...love you guys ❤️ hi from the UK
10:27 he has just been putting old gold in his pan this whole time :O
I hope you guys continue to make vids together when you can, it was cool seeing you guys interact together having fun
Pete and I will continue for sure.
That’s a bummer man!! That’s a bummer! Put signs up, “will shoot!” Hope you can catch them!
Some people just plain suck! Sorry this happened to you but I hope you catch them...I am thinking they will be back since they left the one area uncleaned. Smile boys you're on Dan's camera.
On a better note it is great that you pointed out and explained that you do reclamation of the area as you go! It is very important to help the environment continue on with the moss and even the odd weed. Pan on!
It always surprises me when something like this happens
Pretty neat...thought tje Fraser had been picked out...looks like it can still produce enough for the average hobbyist
That is such a cool gift to give to your patrons. I wish I could be one, but I’m in the process of buying a house right now and I’ve got to save as much money as possible 😂
Best of luck on your house! Very exciting!
Dan Hurd thank you!
lived in florida most my life and went to cali in mountains for few months and met a guy there and went gold panning had time of my life and watching these videos makes me miss it so much but it's too far away
Nice to see you still getting gold.
To bad about the claim jumpers, hope they stay away.
Hope they stay away too!
You just jumped Shane's claim. I no it wasn't me, It would cost me a fortune to get up there from Galveston. I love Pickerton!
Great video Dan love the gold from that area!
I love how you respect the land you are awesome
I'll guard it for you. It's a shame someone was in need bad enough to steal from you. Pickerton produced for you again. Beautiful gold! Great video, I really enjoyed it. Thanks Dan.
Let's hope they found nothing and thus never return! I really like this claim
@@Danhurd I bet it was Pete!
Phoenix Az here, we hit 115 today an that's a low for this time last year was 120. I be dancing in the waters edge of the Fraser love the scenery dan
Wow that is hot
They was so messy.Sorry that happen to you. Thanks for posting on you tube.
thanks for watching
Hi Dan, i'm a new subscriber and new to gold prospecting, I have a newbie question. When you stake a claim is it required to post it as to avoid someone from prospecting there? Love your channel.
