Mojave Gold Drywashing with Dan and Jason
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2023
- MineOperator takes Dan Hurd Prospecting and Jason from Mount Baker Mining and Metals drywashing for the first time. Jason and Dan get into a competition on who can get the most gold, WHO WILL WIN? You will have to watch Dan and Jason's videos to find out. We used the Mad Mining drywasher and Ron's homemade 30-year-old puffer, Rusty and Rodger helped out. Of course, the star of the video, Ginger. You can stay tuned to the end. Harry runs the drywasher cons through the Riverdance Mini-jig and finds gold we all missed panning.

Keep the vids coming and we’ll keep clicking!
Mining UA-cam is the best of UA-cam. 👍🏻
Thanks! Will do! Btw, I just enjoyed some bacon 🥓 😋
@@mineoperator haha the best! 🤣👍🏻
@34:00 I imagine Ginger’s thinking, “oh boy, that’s the BIGGEST hummingbird I’ve ever seen!” 😂
😂
The rare Canadian Sasquatch spotted in the California desert dry washing!!!!!!!
Dogs are fun to have around always.
Hello Boys ! Merry Christmas !
You should show a video of how to make one of those manual drywashers.😅
Good idea!
Dan the man is on every chanel on youtube 😂
Puffers with a hand crank are way to much work 🤣⛏⛏ Nice video guys but that ground looks like it was already worked and I`ve never seen a tray set so steep as the one at 11:04
My largest and most consistent gold came from dry washing.. hello Randsburg!
Thank you for sharing these amazing videos. i especially love when you, Dan and Jason are together! Alll of you have interesting things to share .
Our pleasure! We have so much fun with these guys.
Very nice. I can watch these videos all day. Merry Christmas all.
you guys are having to much fun
Another amazing video with tons of great info! Thanks @mineoperator for giving our little jig a chance!
It is fun to test. Plenty more to go. Thankyou for sending us a unit to test.
Our pleasure! We can't wait to receive the 2nd unit. Thanks for making a great product!
Fun video I like the Mini Jig and the dog thanks
Man, what a group of fellas!! Such great content!! Damn.. 😊
Viewing from Yuma, Arizona 🌵🌵🌵
Enjoyed the video and brought back memories of when I prospected in the area especially old womans spring road where I uncovered a few nice nuggets around 97.
I have never seen dry run. I like you have Dan and Jason with you I see each show they put out I will have to add you to my list of shows to watch thank you God Bless and marry Christmas 🎄
Awesome! Thank you!
Drones and dogs can be fun. My dog's favorite toy, fun to watch him let his inner wolf out trying to catch it. 30 mph across the wheat fields! Looks like a fun trip so far.

I like the dog he was having more fun than All of you
I enjoy his show very much He and Jason work well together. 😊😊😊 Marry Christmas 🎄🎉
Also check your tailings! The largest piece I ever found floated out the sluice cuz the sands were so dry..4 grams!
That's a good size piece!
It's interesting seeing the three different perspectives of this trip. Yours, Jason's, and Dan's.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas lads, thanks for all your effort in bringing us with you :)
I'd be digging up those sprouts of Grass and shake out the roots to look for gold. The taller the plant the longer its been there.
Loved the video guys. Well done. Sweet jig you have there as well.
Thanks Garrett. We're impressed with its performance and efficiency at recovery fine gold.
awesome video... came over from jason's channel..
Welcome! Thank you for subscribing.
🎄 Merry Christmas ❄ Seasons Greetings ☃ Happy New Year 🥂 Peace and Love
as soon as you sad she'light' - knew exactly where you were - you guys found a good island to work there - and did it right cleaning the bedrock. That MM drywasher was running terrible though, i bet it only caught 25% of the gold. They are difficult to get set right, and i'm impressed with the gold you did find. That riverdance jig is starting to grow on me. .. Weather looked perfect for out there - no wind :) Merry Christmas to all of the crew at MO :)
Thanks for the tip. That jig has grown on us too.
Nice job! We run the Keene 191 and catch really good desert gold in Arizona. Heavy pans!
Interesting to investigate what else might be hiding in the tailings, wash them and lay out on table with stereoscopic magnifier, especially after concentrating the concentrates, using a cement mixer to wash the clay off! Tin, scheelite comes to mind.
Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄
Great video. Great to see all the guys together.
Glad you enjoyed it
Dan Hurd, real life Yukon Cornelius - watch out for bumbles
Ginger's definitely gonna dream of flying! I'm so lazy the first thing i though was put a big tarp under the tailings end and drag n' dump before it gets too heavy
Wow Dan, You're a long way from home.
💛 I LOVE IT 💛
All you mining guys are THE BEST🌟
I once got to witness a fellow prospector's antique, wooden drywasher in action - it was an exquisite piece of equipment.
And his collection of nuggets and pickers was awe-inspiring 😊
Great video! Glad to see Dan here in Southern California! I don't recognize that area as near where you guys are centered but you said Marine helos... So?? Hmm
Get together with Jeff Williams COME ON LET'S GO
Great video I found your channel because of Dan Hurd and jason with MBMM videos.good luck to you all keep videos coming.
Thats a great spot dug a lot of nice nuggets there back in the early 90’s break out the 6000 and you will dig sum good luck
Yes, and I raked and dried the pay so thoroughly the 3/8"x5/16 flake floated right out! ( I found it the 2nd time around)
From my experience I get more gold with my blower speed at just above idle . Dan's seems to be a little high , blowing out to much material . I believe you can get 90 to 95% recovery fine gold with a good setup . Just my opinion . Randsburg isn't far from where I live. Thanks for the video .
There's some great spots out there.
You guys are having to much fun
Hello from Ridgecrest!
You're not far at all!
New subscriber. Dan sent me.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome. Many more adventures to come.
I bet you could tune a set of air knives to just the right pressures and flow to act like the ridges in a gold mat and knock down the heavy material into catches. At one job we used to use them for drying/dusting off parts at the end of a production line before packaging; it's easier to sort things when they're dry, for sure, and it doesn't get much drier than the high desert.
Good idea 💡. Thanks for the suggestion.
If nothing else, looks like you're on some really good Tungsten!
I'd TOTALLY LOVE to be up on some Tungsten like that!
Should we try selling some?
@@mineoperator If I had enough munny on hand, I would be offering you a per-ton value on it because I can use it to make alloy steel here with the iron from my own mine.
Tungsten, by the time it passes a whole lot of middle men, is way more expensive than buying it from a mine, after all.
Admittedly, I would have to research out a fair market value and negotiate that with you, but if you have no foreseeable plans for it, but don't mind setting it aside, seeing as you are getting it as a byproduct, at some point, I can hope to be able to buy it.
Also, when I say 'set aside', I don't mean pack it all over the desert necessarily, but just when you have processed large amounts of everything else, leave it in little, distinct piles for now, mark its location on a map or GPS, and go on about your business.
That way, if I can never get up enough cash, you aren't out any extra work, supplies, or storage space.
After all, it has been out there in the desert weather all those many years, I'm sure it can survive a little longer, and being fluorescent, its really easy to find it in the dark if you need to find it in a hurry.
Honestly, I do not know how much I would offer you for it, because I would also have to include [in my purchasing budget] shipping it from where you are, to where I am, and I have yet to even secure a good lead on LTL trucking services anywhere at the moment.
It might actually be more cost effective for me to drive out and haul it home on my own truck.
But if you are interested, just leave it aside in little piles you can go back and find later on, and I'll message you when I have money to offer.
Also, if you contact Keith Bowen of Hard Rock University, he can patch you through to one of my personal e-mails as a known secure, private pathway over the internet, for people in the mining industry to connect.
I'm always interested in stuff like tungsten, tellurides, molybdenum, cobalt, nickel, chromium, and REEs, as I am slowly gearing up to begin casting and finishing of custom alloy products for people.
Copy that. We'll save what we recover and will follow-up.
Great..just found your channel.
Been following Dan and Jason.
Gonna be doing my own vision of drywashing.
Welcome to our channel and thanks for subscribing!
I thought I saw Walter Huston and Humphrey Bogart back there.
I wonder if it'd be possible to make a big cone with a vibrator on it and then just fill it with dirt and anything heavy will go to the bottom and the light stuff will stay at the top and as the heavies displace the light it'll overflow until there's nothing but heavies in it. I think that might need a crusher though to get it down to a uniform size, I don't know.
Great videos guys, for me I can’t stand having those big rocks in pan on a clean up, drives me nuts, I use a fine sieve, black sand and gold only at the end.
Omgashh that's a coydogg bro take me with u guys 😂❤
So, you found the scheelite, lots of it, So, where is IT coming from? Chase that for a reward. Might lead you to the gold.
Is that alluvial or residual? If residual, is any effort been made to find the lodes? It looks like crystalline gold, so I am assuming residual.
you guys are in my backyard. id love to join one day.
That is absolutely possible. Stay in touch.
Telling the dog to get it, might be a bad idea. my dog got one.
Agreed 👍
Are you catching the tailings then take them where you can pan them to find the loss ratio?
We saved the tailings from panning and re-ran it over the jig. Great idea going back and running the tailings from the drywasher to find the recovery ratio.
Its Dan!!!🤣
❤
Keene 140 is what I'm working with..
Great machine!
Where might you boys be dry washing at? Coolgardie?
Is it possible to get the exact gps coordinates where you are working 😂
I live in Bakersfield and pop out to garlock and Randsburg a lot. Do you guys ever have open groups to join out there in the Mojave? I like meeting new and fun people. My house is down on the Kern River and we have had an influx of new prospectors this year. Thanks again for posting content from our area, it’s great! & Dan looks like good company too!
Hi Tommy, the PLP has an outing called Fallfest that you can look into. We haven't done a group outing out there ourselves. That's a good idea. I'll talk to the guys and see if we can come up with something.
Yall could coordinate ur videos maybe lolll this is a big spoiler for jason’s vid that he was hyping up. Idrc I’m just here for the mining, and the demographic here prolly doesn’t really care either but maybe a thing to do. I’ll still watch both 😂.
Ron is a legend for packing out lead waste
Great idea. Ron has packed pounds and pounds over his 30+ years.
I don't want to teach anybody how to work, also because I'm not an expert, but you could use a neodimium magnet to take out of the ground the majority of iron and then detect with higher sensibility.
Great idea 💡
how do you refine sheelite to tungsten?
You guys need to watch.. I brake for bedrock. Help with your detecting and drywashing.
I like the way using xrf analyser , I would like to buy it , please wich model is good for gold and earth rare metals and what is the price
The model we are using is the Vanta M-Series. We rented this unit. It costs an estimated $38,000 but we recommend you speak with Evident Scientific directly. Let us know if you need a direct contact. Let them know we referred you. www.evidentscientific.com/en/?creative=610810922798&keyword=olympus&matchtype=p&network=g&device=m&campaignid=17760358264&adgroupid=138957630436&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7aSsBhCiARIsALFvovw_eCkLAeVXfl-5KOak42MJLaXk5rXP7h76ZQWXv2iPdWB5Gw1upMcaAoD1EALw_wcB. Thanks for your comment!
My dog loses her fukking mind over drones, starts yelping and wont listen to commands as soon as it starts up.
😂
were do you get the hand crank drywasher.
Ron made it. We're asking him to make a video on it.
A man of few words...lol
Wonder what the rate of silicosis is going to be.
Wow $20 Worth of gold, don't spend it all in one place.
But look at the up side u have enough lead to load a shotgun shell
Wait a minute, we still need to split it 6 ways 😆
Cara pengolahan yang Super sobat.....
🙏 Satu provesi.....
Terima kasih!

👍👍❤
listen to Dan...
I tried gold prospecting years ago in the victorville barstow area, two years and over $800 I managed to find a few flakes. Waste of time and money.
I know the feeling. One of the reasons I got into hardrock. However, that's not any easier.
Dry washer falling apart????
The wood puffer has over 500 yards of paydirt through it over 30 years.
I think their perception of age is a bit off. I, being a bit older, at 74 now say so.
Is this government property or private property
That's a secret
yea know all watch you you tube super stars, but you are like the turn coats that show how magic tricks are done ,every body is filling the ground and piece and quiet are almost gone, what are you planning when the net goes down boys
Hahaha share the love some more! Merry Christmas
I hate SO much Dan Hurd that you receved à thum down
You guys an
These guys must have a LOT of spare money 💰 to go playing in the far away desert , avoiding real jobs
Shoe string budget.
Sound a little haterish.. something bugging you, buddy?
Comment 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
No bad comments here. Love them all. Thanks for calling it like you see it.
@@bacongrzHe’s not wrong though..
Dans feels he's not a man if he can not play in his pan
He’s bloody irritating,I know that much..
Lol love the show. Marry Christmas 🎄
You exit song/music is way to loud compared to voice. Love the video otherwise.
Thanks for the heads up. We'll make some adjustments.
Thankyou for the feedback
too damn many ads
Stand upwind or suffer silicosis’.
So disappointing, look for gold in the middle of nowhere and get some scraps. They know where to look, just bs you for a view.
🎄
Man I just find Dan Hurds manic cartoon “Dan Hurd character” too much...by far.
I guess a half million people disagree with you bud...keep hatin..😊
@@yosemitecrystals6327 Grow up you little mug,sounds like cartoon Dan is about your level..
@@yosemitecrystals6327 people like Logan Paul also....hell, Hitler had quite the following if it's all just a popularity contest 🤔
Blasphemy
WHHAAAAAAAAAAT!?!? Oh no no no no Dan is the absolute greatest!
the gold you found with the medal. doctor this weeks short the same place as you and jason and dan hurd looked for gold or a different spot on the claim
Different location
