- Everyone wants to know where they can find the yellow treasure, GOLD. In this video I walk up tranquille river looking at all the best spots to find gold, and show what I find, with a gold pan, in those spots. Gold panning is not an exact science, but following some basic advices and simple rules will increase your chances to find gold.

"Don't build the stick that they will use to beat you with" I love that
As an ex-archaeologist, your knowledge of geographic/geologic formation is amazing. This is the kind of skill people study intensely to better identify settlement zones or potential camp sites. I am always so impressed watching people walk around the wilderness and point out these huge features on the landscape that I would say just look like a random section of river.
Right! As a former archaeology student I am always thinking in terms of old habitation sites.
Congratulations on being a thoughtful placer miner even to point of filling others holes. Greatly increases my respect for you. May others follow your example.
I don't live anywhere near public gold claims so I'll probably never use any of this advice, but I still watch all these advice videos because they're so nice!
And he finds great gold! And that’s just fun to watch
Word
You can find gold anywhere. I found a couple specs here in southern ontario
No our lovely governments steal the land and say we cannot go there. Its criminal and as far as i knew NO government can own any land. But.....
@@StarFinderWebb There is flour gold on some beaches on the north shore of Lake Superior. Not sure about Ontario but for sure in Minnesota.
I just love the way you care about the environment, filling those craters back and not being able to stand seeing trash lying around. Thank you, I watch a lot of videos, you are humble and very kind to my eyes. Keep having fun and success! 🍀
what an honest person you are ,you come across as just a wonderful person
Excellent advise Dan thank you especially your PSA, Love "don't build the stick they will beat you with". Biggest rule I was raised on is if you carry it in to wilderness you bring it out Do Not Litter.
He's like... A crack in a rock? GOLD! A curve in the river? GOLD! Haha, thank you dan! It was a sweet tutorial bro! I'm looking at your past videos for sure man
As soon as he said he hoped to earn my subscription, I subscribed, but he then went on to clean up other peoples trash and filled in holes... total class act. If it would have made a difference to subscribe twice, I would have. Keep up the great work!
Dan,
Thank you for THIS type of video.
It is a video that any prospector can watch prior to going out on any given day.
The examples you show and explanation you give is applicable on MANY levels to us all.
MORE such videos should be made using your format.
Creeks.
Dry creeks.
Gulches.
Gullies.
Walking from a perspective that WE all see it from...
Bravo!!!!
Keep it up!
Thank you dan for another great instructional video on one of our many famous gold bearing creeks in BC, and making a point to show all the open pits and garbage that seems to be always left behind by the few that dont seem to care.The more we all can do to keep the inspectors happy the more we all can prove that these recreational panning sites are a great idea for people to enjoy our wilderness and not a headache for the inspectors that ends up being shut down to public due to improper panning/wilderness etiquette. Great advice all around, hope you are healthy and happy, keep up the good work sir and look forward to your next video.
Watching this so i can go to the river with my dad who loves GOLD FINDING! 😅 Thanks for the tips!
I hav not ever been interested in gold and minimal interest in prospecting. Then I saw Dan Hurd. In the last year to year and a half, I have become enamored with the AMAZING region where he works and plays. The geology. The water. The hills and trees!!! All of it.
Dan thank you for sharing your passion. It is infectious. It is educational and exciting. That area of the planet has always been a place I wanted to see. After seeing the beauty of western Canada as you share it, I sorta have it on the MUST DO list now, thanks to you. I have binged through all of your videos (and a lot of the kind folks you have connected to and or featured in them) and I cant tell you how much fun its been start to finish. Thanks Dan Hurd and your whole supporting family for bringing your brilliance and energy to our home televisions and computers. Cheers!
I love the emphasis you put on reclamation!
Just started to get into this hobby. Haven't even gone out yet but every video I watch makes me closer and closer to going. Beautiful job!
Great video buddy!!
👋😁Hi Jake..
Happy New Year's to you and your family..
This is not only informative but also peaceful to watch. Great content! Cheers From Sudbury ontario!
Love your videos Dan! It really gives me the itch to go pan and relax. Thanks for reviving my childhood dreams!
Always appreciate your enthusiasm and your respect for the land. Very informative and fun! Thanks for taking us along. Happy Holidays. Al
The state I live in isn't exactly panning friendly, so thanks to your videos I can go on prospecting adventures and I thank you for that....be safe out there and have a happy new year 🎉🥳
Hey Dan jus bought my first pay dirt off you I can’t wait to pan it thank mate..all the best from Australia
Sure hope you get it ok. Australia is known to be harsh on incoming paydirts.
Yes Very Hard to get play Dirt from or to USA... Due to Bio Hazards.
Best to go through Canada....
We do Have Some Good Play Dirt in Australia but Same Rules apply with Organic Materials in the " Mineral Sample" Best of Luck Happy to send in Victoria
@@browndogprospecting3141 I’ll give it a crack see what happens
@@peterkennedy7193 👍s
@@RufotrisRootedRockhound Always been tempted to get some dirt from Dan but the getting it in through customs has always put me off
Once again, Dan puts out some good content for us new prospectors to learn from💪
Hope your Christmas was most wonderful Dan. Thanks for sharing.
Very beautiful terrain and creek.
I floated a creek that had long straight shots over 50 to 100 feet of scoured bedrock. What interested me in going back was the numerous potholes in the rock and long cross creek cracks.
That’s true character, filling in other peoples left behind holes! Thank you Dan for appreciating the beauty of our great land. Even my kids leave no trace
New gem enthusiast here and I live the way you do your videos! Fantastic job! Very well done! I've watched a lot of gem/gold video's and I like yours the best!!
One thing about Dan. He does not just talk the talk. He picks up garbage and fills in holes. He goes above and beyond to follow the rules.
Happy 2022 Dan and family. Your vids have kept us happily entertained and informed thrroughout this pandemic. Glad to see you looking healthy and active again.You keep your positive disposition, no matter what, and it is contagious. Wish you'd been one of my teachers. Stay safe and WARM! Mag and Ian, B.C islanders.
I always learn something new from your videos. I like how you show us things that are not so obvious. There are thousands of videos showing the obvious places to find gold but not so many showing the unusual ones. Here in Michigan we need all the advantages we can get, lol
Thanks Dan! This is exactly what I was needing for my forays after breakup this spring!
I so love your line, "Don't build the stick they use to beat ya with." Great life advice to be used in differing scenarios
Mr. Hurd and family. Happy new year and may the future months be filled with glorious wonders and treasures. Thank you for your classy and honest productions.
What a entertainment Dan Hurd is. Always happy, always energized, always half nuts. He has my subscription!
Dan, your videos always make me smile. Thank you
Thank you Dan! You are a great teacher! I love prospecting!
Thanks Dan! Your is only one of 3 or 4 youtubers I love to watch.
Thanks so much for all your effort and knowledge, Dan.
I've been following you for a while and learned so much and have enjoyed your commentary very much.. love your posts 👌👍
I like how he picks up garnet, opal, and jade in the same area while finding large amounts of gold.
Lots of knowledge this man brings !!!! Great personality
Great stuff as always Dan!!! I've learned so much watching you sir thanks for doing this cool stuff!
Love to watch Dan, doesn't always find lots of gold. But seems to have so much fun looking for it.
You earned my subscription today. On this video. More clarification on what I thought. Thanks Dan.
Dan we enjoy watching your channel. You share your skills to reach others. Beautiful country you live in.
Love that you give a public service word about Garbage and leaving it better that you found.
Merry Christmas Dan, hope you and your family have a great one and have a fantastic 2022 keep up the marvellous content and thank you for keeping me going
Dan is the Man! With the Masterplan (pan)... thanks Dan!
Dan Hurd produces masterpieces every time. I am watching every episode with an open mouse. He lives what he fills and I love it. No matter what he explores I know there is something to learn. . His interaction with nature, People , his sense of belonging talks volume to me. Happy to have the opportunity to be with Dan Hurd on his trips despite the distance and language differences. Thanks Dan Hurd!!!!!!!!
You make this educational AND fun!!
Absolutely great instructional video Dan! Thanks buddy! Looking forward to your next video!
Love this creek been rockhounding here for years!
I really love your channel and content! Please keep up the great work! Love it
I think one of the things that appeals to me about panning for gold is that it is almost like playing RuneScape.... And when you found that Garnet I almost died exclaiming "Just like mining in RuneScape!!!!"
This guy is everyone’s fun grandpa that we all wish we had.
Picking up trash was the infancy stages of what I do now. From picking up trash I noticed cool looking rocks, started picking them up, then drift wood started to catch my eye, I'm a reader so after doing research now I'm digging in creeks lol...thanks Dan
Thank you I learned from a couple of your tips and reconfirmed some thoughts. always a joy to watch your video's.
Great video, Dan.
I love you enthusiasm!
What I love about Dan is that he is not over the top with advertising his channel or with sponsors. Rather chill and just nice about it.
Instead of SUBSCRIBE NOW AND LIKE he's like I hope to earn it from you.
It's great to see you out and about my dude!
You love what you do and we love watching thanks for the enjoy you give Happy 2022:)
Very good insightful information. Thanks Dan.
Dan, this is your second video I've watched and I've got to say that I really like your content, and your energy. When you picked up the trash and called people out on it I couldn't press the like and subscribe fast enough. Thank you for the PSA on littering and leaving no trace.
Very informative Dan! Thank you!
This is one of your top videos on my watch list Dan, gretings from Serbia!
I just because a subscriber today. Thank you for your videos. I have never gold panned before. But I just ordered everything I will need for a first time prospector. It should be here today so I can start learning. Your videos help alot

Thanks for this video and sharing your knowledge.
Al Gorithum recommended this video for some strange reason, but I'm not mad. You're so animated and vivacious! I learned so many new things, including that panning isn't just a thing of the past. I might take this up.
You share about this land, it looks very resourceful.
Happy New Year Dan, all the best to you and your family.
Dan this is Bob from Connecticut I always enjoy your videos more than most videos a lot of videos I watch are really really sad but you got to take the good with the bad but you can't trust lame stream mainstream television anymore so you got to pick who's telling the truth and who isn't well I pick you as an honest man that's why I love your channel I try to watch everything you put out thank you for making the videos for the world later from Connecticut in the US later God bless you and yours

Always good advice coming from you Dan. Thank you for taking us all out on your adventure and trying to teach us where and why we should be looking in these areas and we should all be telling people on our videos to take out your trash and fill your holes in.
Your videos are amazing and cover so much like a few others on you tube thanks for what your do and the entertainment and education you provide.
Your a great guy Dan, and a great teacher,
Merry Christmas from Scotland Dan🎄⛏🏴
