Time with dad is worth more than any gold. Nice you get to spend as much time with him as you do. Lost mine more than 25 yrs ago. Cherish the time I did have. Be safe and enjoy the outdoors
I really like to see the videos of you with your dad. I lost my dad a little over a year ago and I wish I had more days with him like these adventures you guys do together.
Fond memories of fishing in Idaho with my dad, now passed years gone. The time you spend together are memories that last a lifetime, so happy you have each other.
Awesome !!!!! Thank You for all that you do and for all the information you provide ,,,, and for the beautiful nature views !!!! Dad is Awesome !!! Take care of yourself and be safe !!
I've been a subscriber and fan for a few years now and I have always enjoyed learning from your experiences, but I must say that my favorite videos from your channel are the ones where you and your awesome Dad are spending time with each other . Keep them coming Dan , best regards as always from Lloyd somewhere here in Southern Ontario Canada. Its also about time that I become a Patreon so I'm signing up.
Amazing video dan. Beautiful area. What i liked the most in this video is you were with your dad thats beyond special. I just lost my dad in June of this year and i miss him alot, i wish i could see him, talk to him and do stuff with him still, we had a fishing trip planned, unfortunatly passed 3 days before the trip. So treasure every moment with your dad. You are a special person and national treasure, your videos are beyond amazing. A very special thank you to you and your dad for this video, having your dad there is more precious than gold.
Sorry for your loss. All I can say is the memories last forever. I feel the same way. 10 years this past March. And just getting into rocks and gold. Could have learned so much if I would have just asked and spent more time with him. Hope it gets better.
I really liked watching you with your Dad I've been remembering mine and our outings to the river fishing. you make as many videos as you can with your family in them you'll appreciate them in time and your children will too in their grownup years thanks Dan and thanks Mr Hurd. You got a pretty good Son there.
Love you and your dad! Your whole channel has become the highlight of my week. Loved when your dad took the camera. Would love to have more vids of you two, especially when he’s filming you and talking, since he’s got that amazing timbre to his voice that just screams “wildlife and nature” enthusiast. Hope your heart improves Dan. I’m a cardiac nurse, so I see how what you’re dealing with on a daily basis, and I gotta say, that even if you don’t have a healthy heart, you’ve got a very healthy “heart.” You earned my subscription as soon as I heard the love and enthusiasm you have for everything you do. Nothing but love coming to you from Upper Peninsula in Michigan, USA.
15:15 this moment captured in time is something that I wish I had of my dad, not of me expressing my happiness to be with him but being able to hear him say his day with you made him "happy as a lark". One day, after your father is gone, you will be able to revisit that moment and this one in happiness. Lets hope that day doesn't come any time soon!
Dan, you have such an uplifting positive, enthusiastic vibe about you, that I can't imagine someone watching one of your videos and not subscribing to your channel. There are only a few videos that I look forward to, let alone watch these day and yours is one of them. Please keep em coming and take it easy at the same time. Gotta keep the 'ol ticker ticking right? Thank you for making great videos!
Nice to see father and son doing something they enjoy! Even if you didn't find anything you found a moment together. That does happen much in the US anymore .... God Bless you both!
Great video. I just love the scenery where you go. There’s always a lot of beauty along with the wonderful wildlife. You are very lucky to be somewhere so beautiful. I love the trips you do with your dad.
Hi Dan, great video's. My favourite view of the high banker is where you can see the hopper and the sluice at the same time. Watching the water wash rocks is very relaxing. Thanks mate, keep up the great video's.
Been a subscriber for a while now, just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, I dont think I've missed one since I subscribed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences along the way. We appreciate you!
Glad to hear you’re still looking after your ticker Dan. Just to let you know, 7 weeks ago I had a heart attack, ended up having OHS - double bypass. IT ISN’T fun mate. Trust me. Still got 6 weeks to go before full recovery. Look after yourself and your family please, I particularly do not want you going through what I went through. As usual, great video, a pleasure to watch, thank you for posting. 👋👋👋 from downunder.
in texas we cant really go look for gold but me and my grandpa use to go ride horses and go hunting! i would do anything to be able to see him and do that with him again. dan, i watch you because you remind me so much of him. i watch every video you post! thank you, you don’t know how much you mean to me.
Those little specks of platinum probably contain a little of all of the platinum group metals (PGMs including palladium and rhodium) which tend to congregate together. There is probably also some silver in there. It would be interesting to find enough of that somewhere to refine it and see what and how much we get. Just for fun. Platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc. are worth looking for these days. Silver is at $25 US per Troy ounce, platinum is at $885, gold is at $1,930, and palladium is sitting on $2,351. I'll take another ounce of each, please. Oh, I forgot rhodium? It's at $12,400.
The Similkameen IS a paradise river. I've always thought it was so beautiful. No returns on it today but, hey, you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. Great day out with dad. Thanks Dan.
Great video love the Fish shots. Reminds me of going fishing with my Dad when I was a kid. We would rarely catch anything but it was about us. Stopping and getting an ice cream sandwich or a Fruit and nut bar on the way home. I miss my Dad. Keep up the great time you have with yours.
I really enjoy your gold prospecting videos, more so then the Gem/Stones vids. Understand your health is probably why i dont see as many gold vids these days. But thanks for what you can do.
hey Dan, try using a piece of corogated pipe, half round about a foot long, put material on swish back and forth a couple times, dump off overburden, shows good sign of heavies, espically black sands
Hi Dad! Good to see you looking so chipper! :) Dan, you need to get that heart of yours fixed soon--we worry about you; please don't push too hard. Hugs from CA!
Another great video your videos are so good a lot of information and I love the scenery. I hope your school year goes great and you can still get time to do some planning I love watching it have a great day be safe and have some fun a friend from Iowa.
well seeing your lack of gold, you make me feel a whole lot better . i too have had days like this and i think man this just aint goin anywhere, then bam i hit a pocket of shiney. so thanks for a honest show. heavy pans to ya bro.
Took my Grandson to the river here in southern Indiana just exploring we found 2 completely intact arrow heads. Was great to see his excitement over his finds! BTW he is 9 years old! Thanks for the inspiration Dan! :)
and there was touchwood again..>...hoping you know him... otherwise search for Cathweazle...:D ..tv series in the sixties... love the nature in your video,s .. grtz from Amsterdam
Hey Dan, and Dad to Dan. What a great video. You may of not found very much, but was fun, in lovely locations. Great to see your Dad too, making memories and enjoy some good times together. Better luck next time on the hunt..... may I ask? How did your sale of all that Ocean Colour stone go? That seems a good place to bank a few dollars if you can keep getting some great rocks.
Grimes Finds I bet Dan would let you visit and try. By the way subscriber of your channel and love it. Hope your son’s leg isn’t hurting him too badly.
Cherish the time you have with your dad it’s a gift. I wish mine was still around
So true, i lost mine June 19 2020. 3 days before a planned fishing trip. Both my.parents are now gone
@Rex Haney my mom passed of alzhimers i know the stuggle i lost both mine my mom in 2012 and dad june 2020
F to pay respects
I miss my pop , spend as much time as possible with him .
Amen to that ! I literally just was thinking the same
I can truly appreciate that you care enough about our world to pick up waste left by others! Didn't score the gold but a day with dad? priceless.
If you listened closely, Dad threw the shotgun shell back on the ground.
He through it into our pile of gear. We pick it up when we packed up.
@@Danhurd So glad to hear that. It's always better to leave an area better than we found it.
I have always been envies of sons with good fathers. You are a very lucky man in many ways.
You so lucky you still have your dad
I sure am
Time with dad is worth more than any gold. Nice you get to spend as much time with him as you do. Lost mine more than 25 yrs ago. Cherish the time I did have. Be safe and enjoy the outdoors

Pap has a good narration voice, enjoy him as much as you can, love him as much as you can, we don't have them long enough
Thanks for explaining the reason for discarding the tailings. Makes perfect sense now I know.
You are welcome
Great Video Dan! I'm glad to see you spending quality time with your Pa. That Certainly is a beautiful spot!
Awesome time Dan even though you didn't find much gold. But time spent with family tends to be more valuable!!!

Good to see so much life in the water... way cool.. thanks for the great videos Dan. You da man.

Good video. I love your videos DAN!!!
Thanks
Great video and time spent with your dad, You should ask him to narrate more of your videos, absolute gold, love it 🙂
I’m envious of your life
Helloooo Dad ... and Dan too. If you found nothing it looks like it was a great day outdoors. 👍😎
You got that right!
Great video love the Fish shots. Reminds me of going fishing with my Dad when I was a kid. We would rarely catch anything but it was about us. Stopping and getting an ice cream sandwich or a Fruit and nut bar on the way home. I miss my Dad. Keep up the great time you have with yours.
From Australia Dan, my Dad's 81 we do similar things. It's Just treasure. Cheers. Russ.
Saludos desde puerto rico 👍👍👍👍
Nice to meet your Dad!
Is always good time when spent with your father. 👍
You got that right!
Your claims are looking even more beautiful with the autumn colours 😍 your youngest looks a lot like your dad.

Very beautiful country. Sometimes not always about the gold, its about quality time in the outdoors with family and friends.
It sure is
You guys are amazing. Thank you for the great and beautiful videos. I enjoy all your videos they are fun grate information and so relaxing.
Good on your pops for being so healthy and mobile
Hanging out with your Dad is worth more then all the gold you could find. 💝
I really enjoy your gold prospecting videos, more so then the Gem/Stones vids. Understand your health is probably why i dont see as many gold vids these days. But thanks for what you can do.
Yup - that's exactly why. Just doing what I can do - safely
hey Dan, try using a piece of corogated pipe, half round about a foot long, put material on swish back and forth a couple times, dump off overburden, shows good sign of heavies, espically black sands
Happy life will give you a happy heart. Time is nothing, you still have many shovels to do. 😉 Great video Dan
P.s awesome to see ur father
One of my best Memories of my Dad if opal hunting in eastern Oregon...
That’s beautiful! nature at its best
Couldn't agree more!
Man I'd give my left arm to just hang out a while. This guy is a gem himself. You got my like and sub ❤️
Thanks!
I appreciate you. I learn a lot watching. I went to Colorado two summers ago and I've been on a treasure hunt ever since. Keep digging!!!
Dear old dad, talking about the healthy creek, reminded me of Bob Ross. 😅🥺😭
Totally!
Here's a happy little frog and his friend the happy little fish. God I love cocaine... LOL
i just got done watching a bob ross video and this the first comment i see... so weird
I call him Mr. Rock-gers! Absolutely love it here.
I'm new, love this guy. He's got such a great personality.
Welcome to the channel!
Thanks for sharing man. Wish my pop was still around to enjoy. Stay safe
Awesome find guy's, keeping the dream alive.

Definitely enjoy that time with Dad while you can. Great video!
Thanks!
You earned my sub today Dan! Great time with Dad. Greetings from NZ

Flower stone aka feldspar porphyry.
When the snow flies up here in British Columbia I catch up on your videos Mr. Hurd.
Thanks for explaining about the reasoning for why you must allow the drained silt to go back into the ground instead of fish habitats.
and there was touchwood again..>...hoping you know him... otherwise search for Cathweazle...:D ..tv series in the sixties...
love the nature in your video,s .. grtz from Amsterdam
Very jealous of this wonderful scenery! I get the paradise.
It really is!
