Skip's an incredible friend. He's one of the most generous and caring person I have ever met. He loves his passion for fossils and makes many people laugh at his antics. Glad you got a chance to meet him! Rock on Skip and Just lick it!!
I'm a fossil hunter who lives on the island and I know where you are, Dan that is a HUGE find it's a dream come true for most of us! Congratulations! I'll trade you a mosasaurs vertebra untacked from the bad lands for that.
Skippy is a loveable goofball genius, I've been talking to him for about 6 years. You had the best teacher I can think of, especially for having a good time!
I really like the energy Skippy brings to the video. Him and Dan bounce so well off of each other. Not scared of ridicule and a real passion in both of them
@@mattyadar0872 Plesiosaurs lived at the same time as dinosaurs, but their ancestors branched off over 200 million years ago, before either plesiosaurs or dinosaurs even existed.
I’m from the uk we have quite a bit of plesiosaur vertebrae also full skeletons it’s mainly from the Jurassic coast Whitby museum has a full skeleton on display
Dan seeing this video just shows how beautiful Canada really is. Here in Mississippi our water and creeks/rivers are not even close to being that clear. When Living in a place your whole life you don’t seam to see the beauty in your own landscape
IKR? I always wondered as a teenager *why* people would be tourists and come to my small B.C. community from around the country & world. Vancouver was a 12 hour drive/2 hour flight away from my old hometown and WAY more fun than ,my hometown to my teenage brain. Now at 56 l see why people visit here.
The Mississippi is a beautiful place, just a lot more silt in it and it is mostly slow, but historically it is an amazing river. That being said, time away allows you to appreciate other places and when you get back you may see her in a different light. I grew up on Vancouver Island, been away too long! Hope you and yours are well.
First gold prospecting, mineral collection and now fossil hunting this is excellent work keep it up and on the Dino bone you’ll need sand blasters and a paleotech engraver or pressure tool to try and take the rock off
Dan, I throughly enjoy all of your videos but the energy and excitement that skippy brought to this one was awesome! You two are a great duo and I hope to see more! Great finds! Can’t wait to see more gold and more fossils.
I have watched plenty of your videos but I have to say this one is my favorite with Skippy in it. Love his energy and positivity.. You can tell he is a good guy! Going to go sub to him now.🔥🔥💪💪
Dan, someday when you aren't out living your amazing life making my favorite videos, you'll write an amazing autobiography that'll be my favorite book.
This video was AMAZING, the energy alone. Love how Dan isn't scared to not be right, learn new stuff everyday and share it with us!! Much appreciated!!
Dan, your an inspiration. Thank you! I hopenthe old ticker is still rocking. Really appreciate your channel. I think the real gold is you and your content.
Got the spirit of that guy skippy!! I got happy, hopeful and he was fun to watch! and he got some good knowledge about fossils too...wow interesting guy!
I grew up in Campbell river and frequented the exact spot you were in. No one believes me when I say that there are enough fossils there, that you can just pick em up off the ground. Love it.
Genuinely enjoyed you having Skippy on! Been watching you for a couple days now, and having been familiar with Skippy already, it was a pleasant surprise to see him! Kudos to the both of you!
Very cool finds Dan! I am a 2nd generation rockhound. My father was a rock, gem, mineral and fossil collector all of his life, and passed his passion and knowledge for this fun hobby to me! Now, in my 50s, I have ALL kinds of neat rocks from around the world, from rare gems and fossils to pretty pebbles, displayed about my home, inside and out! I very much enjoy your videos and have been a subscriber since last year when I first discovered your channel! Thank you for sharing your passion here on you tube. You have taught me so much about gold prospecting! I have family that live in your area of BC and I have been there a few times (Vancouver, Okanagan (sp?) Valley, Schuswap Lake, Pemberton, Whistler....God's country!). Hope I can return someday soon. If so, it would be a great honor to meet you sir! I love that you change up topics of your vids and excited to see one on fossils. Here in Mississippi we have awesome fossils but very little gems or gold! My county is awash in Late Cretaceous period fossils of sea and land creatures. Once, I found a gorgeous mosasaur tooth less than 10 miles from my house. Also, a Axis C1 Mastodon vertebra less than 5 miles away! Thanks again for all you do and also for introducing us to Skippy the fossil freak! Fun! Fun! Keep up the great work! Be safe and rock on my friend! 🕊❤😊
@Max Power hey now, permafry from acid or something similar doesn't mean you're low intellect. It dies however, definitely make it more difficult to communicate those intellectual thoughts. Skippy doesn't remind me of a tweaker, he reminds me of my old neighbor who used to be into LSD, mushrooms and similar psychedelics in the 70's and 80's.
Please don't use any disability as an excuse. I have been clinically dead 7 times, had 17 surgeries and almost died from cancer and Covid-19. "Keep on truckin"
If you are up for trying alternative medicines there is a great deal of ways to help people with even the severest PTSD. Psylocibin from Magic Mushrooms are now being used in many countries in the World and the success rate is phenomenal. Also MDMA. I know in some counties in the US they are illegal and are in Europe mostly but in some places you can be prescribed such things and in a controlled way. I hope you get rid of your PTSD man... All the best to you mate.
If you were an author and would want to create a character like Skippy is.. you would fail. His kind of weird looking Marty Feldman's eyes paired with this passion and knowledge and skills and positive attitude to life.. I would call him a natural genius. I had a real good time watching this video and got infected by the positive passion of this unique man. Thanks a lot Dan for sharing.
I was born and raised in Courtenay, Dan.. I too know where you are in the video.. I hunted fossils back.. oh.. in the late 50s and 60s.. When I left for University, I donated my fossils and arrowheads to the museum.. I spent many years in Victoria, ---family, business, work-- But now I am back in Nanaimo, I will definitely be getting back into fossil hunting... along with gold panning and more detecting.. I hope one day to meet up with you and have a good visit
Great hunt, Dan! That style of fossil collecting is a far cry from what we experience down here along the southeastern US coast. 😱 Congratulations on the vertebra; those are treasures to find!! 🦕
My fave video you've made Dan! I'm living on van island myself. You should go check out the fossils and geology at Muir Creek up past Sooke. It has 30 million year old fossils everywhere and interesting fracture lines left from earthquakes.
What a fun video to watch! This is the kind of thing the internet was invented for....a couple of awesome people sharing their passion with the rest of us. Thank you boys. Thank you.
That was a great video & really interesting. Skippy’s a real character & it was nice to see other rocks. Boy, you were lucky to find as much as you did. Well done Dan.
How cute was skippy and his dog 🐶, 🎵🎶one man and his dog went to find a fossil, one man and his dog 🐶 went to find some fossils 🎶🎵 I was so excited watching the rocks get opened hoping that there was something inside . Thanks Dan thanks Skippy
Dan you are a man of many, many hats! You never know what to expect or whom to expect on your video's! This one was great, I love fossils and that vertebra is fantastic! Glad your having fun!
Skippy is like Pauly being on steroids.😂 You really are a Jack of all trades! Not only gold mining and gem stones, even fossil finding suits you well! Congratulations with your dinosaur vertebrae, piece of ammonite and "fossilised rebar". According to the comments here below, that vertebrae is very rare. Lucky you! 👍🏻
Hi Dan, I'm a recent subscriber, just found your channel and loving it. Whole back log of your vids to catch up on. I'm in Scotland and just starting out panning, My 3 year old son also loves dinosaurs so we hope to go fossil hunting one day too.
Give us a shout if you need any tips fellow Scotsman lol 👍🏻 Dan is very knowledgeable learn a lot from him from how to make a gem sieve to where to look for gold 😁
two massive personalities, dinosaurs, nudity, Latin, rockslides, the great beautiful wide open nature of Canada, Satan Santa and a puppy dog. just awesome chaps xxx
Hi Dan. I love Skippy. I was just in Comox collecting Dallasite. The last time I was on that river I found a very large clam like shell base that's 500mm by 700mm and was missing around 60%. I also found a rather large coporlite and tons of shells that look like they were laid down yesterday
I love watching your videos Dan. I don't even care about the gold part... It would just be amazing to explore and go out in the wilderness with you and learn from you first hand.
It is amazing seeing the beautiful water, and the sounds..... I live in Arizona, we are having a great Monsoon season so far.... but to see how clear and amazing that stream is..... reminds me that I live in the desert.... just makes my mouth water.... beautiful... thank you for the little sip of goodness!!
I wanted to say thankyou for all of your amazing videos!!! We learn so much from watching your videos! Plus these videos allow us to all enjoy something while we wait for this Covid to end 👍🤣
A wonderful adventure Dan! I love it when you do things new to us viewers. I watch a you tuber from the UK called forgotten fossils. It would be cool if you made a trip there some day to do things. I loved your videos when you came to Arkansas where I live! I hope you come back some day and make more!
THis was a very fun episode.. I remember skippy from my vancouver Island travelling hippie days ( Sebo says hey ) - So awesome... what an epic bedrock river... Awesome finds, educational and hey NICE SHIRT
It’s funny you put this video up. On Sunday I was out on a creek prospecting in Australia where I live and came across a fossil of I don’t know what yet. So much detail in it, it was the last thing I ever expected to find.
I always enjoy your videos Dan ! This one is really lots of fun to watch !!!! Thank you ! ( I had a hard night at work in the Hospital. I needed to see some fun ! )
Dan, actually breaking a concretion risks irreversible damage to the fossil that may be inside, There is a better method called the freeze thaw method, but it takes patience, which preserves both halves keeping the fossil intact. Leaving them outside through the changing seasons can do it, or use a freezer. More info. can be found on the net.
Wow Dan, to find a ghost shrimp! Un-seen by another human ever! other than your first glimse/lick! For millions of years..... astounding. I have done this, and found fossils in my land - England. Considering we only have a minute selection of possible fossils that have ever been; and may unlikely remain. This is very ever exciting..... your guide looks like alot of fun to be with. Good luck from England.

I live in victoria and do gold prospecting, I could take you out for gold if you can take me out for fossils.

so off cranberry , thats what it looks like

If Dan is calling anyone else a "character", I'm thinking this guy must be a real hoot!
Not disappointed, at all. Skippy is a real character.
thanks love you all
@iknklst - LOL! Good one.

Yeah, would work great in kindergarden.
If Skippy becomes a regular, I will be unsubscribing.

edit:(this insult is so weak I love it)
@@bb_lou I've never felt the need to go to any "parties".
I don’t know how to put into words how rare the plesiosaur vertebrae is especially from that formation…… Crazy killer find man
That was such a fun video, I was laughing so much. You found such a cool find Dan.. congrats. Thanks for sharing this fun adventure. 😜🤘
Not a dinosaur, but still cool.

The small creeks are clear but our main Fraser river is nasty. With a lot of bacteria
Mark Twain said he drank Mississippi River water with an inch of mud on the bottom of the glass , yech . They were tough bunch back then .

i loved this little branch off of the norm. great video!
First gold prospecting, mineral collection and now fossil hunting this is excellent work keep it up and on the Dino bone you’ll need sand blasters and a paleotech engraver or pressure tool to try and take the rock off
Is it me or does "skippy" remind you of Christopher Loyd (Doc Brown) from Back to the future.

Skippy reminds me of Doc Brown if he was more of a hippie 😀 I say this with admiration
Haha, Too too! They have both definitely played around with ingesting chemicals made in a lab. Maybe Skippy had a few too many bad batches.
@Max Power hey now, permafry from acid or something similar doesn't mean you're low intellect. It dies however, definitely make it more difficult to communicate those intellectual thoughts.
Skippy doesn't remind me of a tweaker, he reminds me of my old neighbor who used to be into LSD, mushrooms and similar psychedelics in the 70's and 80's.
He seems very genial & enthusiastic about his hobby of fossil collecting.
Skippy is a reincarnation of Marty Feldman.
Great Scottt 😂😇

cool!
Rock hound.
It was just being a typical dog, chasing a after a bone, after all! XD

Thanks Dan, I find your videos highly entertaining and fun to watch and unmissable too! Cheers from Australia! 👍
I've spent most of life inside and broke because of PTSD so thank you for showing me parts of the world I never get to see my guy✌

Hi Dan.
I love Skippy. I was just in Comox collecting Dallasite.
The last time I was on that river I found a very large clam like shell base that's 500mm by 700mm and was missing around 60%.
I also found a rather large coporlite and tons of shells that look like they were laid down yesterday
I love watching your videos Dan. I don't even care about the gold part... It would just be amazing to explore and go out in the wilderness with you and learn from you first hand.
thanks for the great posts dan !!.. big hug from holland... also for skippy !!...
💚💕
Dan you are fun fun fun. Love the life you live.
It is amazing seeing the beautiful water, and the sounds..... I live in Arizona, we are having a great Monsoon season so far.... but to see how clear and amazing that stream is..... reminds me that I live in the desert.... just makes my mouth water.... beautiful... thank you for the little sip of goodness!!

Less than an hour in to your presentation, early in the A.M. and over 2500 views! We ARE impressed!
