I'm actually surprised that you guys got him out of there. Like most rock hounds, Dan much prefers to just sit and burrow in the dirt and rocks like a little puppy. Just like Pauly, just like the rest of us! Thank you for being such great hosts!
Wow that Pinolite was *_Incredible!_* my brain went straight to the massive out-croping up higher and cutting slabs for countertops, tile walls, and floors... The variety and uniqueness would make for a highly desirable (and profitable 😛) so very many possibilities. I suspect that pinolite will become its own gold mine for them! Thanks for sharing with us today Dan... Today most certainly earned my subscription!
@Solaris BC huh? I heard there is a Radiologist who opened a clinic in BC where he does "Head to Toe" M.R.I.s and then reviews everything he finds with you...That would be so cool! Wait? What were we talking about again? 🤣
In time who knows . It may be worth more than gold one day ? It probably won't but it certainly be of value to somebody in the building construction for sure as much as marble is.
Having knowledge knowing what to use to mine and cut the gems with, gotta be thankful to the past generations as well as the hosts (with today's tools) that is all here in this video. Mining is hard fun work. What a priceless crew that is totally wayyy cool in my book. Giving Dan and everybody a high 5 with much appreciation and love
What the what, those nuggets looked like a hand full of one inch gravel! The Pinolite is beautiful. Love this adventure. Absolutely my favorite channel. Thanks to everyone at the mine for letting us see your operation, hope you keep having good luck finding those huge nuggets. As always, another amazing video from you Dan. Can't wait to see the next one.
Dan has a great attitude and is a fun character to watch. He reminds me of a few uncle's that have passed away. They got excited about life. They didn't listen to a radio, watch TV or do anything but have fun in the wild world.👍
I absolutely love this video. Having the variety of small pans, adventures where you find hardly anything and now this big operation! Great variety of content lately. Cant wait for you to come back in spring!
You know Dan, when I said I enjoy seeing the bigger equipment put to use, this wasn't exactly what I was talking about.... but awesome none the less. Love it ❤️
Another great video. I have never heard of that type of rock. Gorgeous patterns and color. Fantastic discovery! Side note, 23:37 in his left hand. Do anyone else see the face. Maybe more like an owl like image in the pattern!? Crazy how nice they turn out. Keep more of this type of content coming Dan!
My goodness Dan. Now this was totally amazing. The size of those nuggets....... Can only imagine how much "smaller" stuff was in the cleanup. And the Pinolite...... Pretty as a whole piece, but then when it was cut and opened....... WOW. Some really pretty stones. I think my favorite was the one you all called the Jungle scene. A very accurate description what it looked like.
And Dan, thank you for bringing these producers to the public. Showing us how the beautiful things that enrich our lives have their origin and the people behind them.
We had an old bear that would sit under a tree leaning back against it, in our backyard, and she would flip a paw at us n wave as we walked past her on our way out the door. She was on the other side of the orchard fence, but only six feet away as we waved back. A well fed bear is a very calm bear. We had more fruit than we could use, and she generally didn't move into the orchard until we were done picking, as she preferred the fruit from the ground (slightly fermented of course!)
Thanks for sharing pinolite with us. Just as exciting as gold. Love the variety of the patterns and flowers. Make me want to get into lapidary work. Too many hobbies, not enough time. And love seeing the scale of the operation. A glimpse at work I would never see otherwise. Please show us more.
Hey Dan, the Pinolite is amazing. I thought it would just be rocks, but the patterns are crazy. You really buried the lead, with 2oz nugs, that is a real gold mine. I would love to see the fines they recover. Keep up the fun and interesting videos.
I love seeing large operations, you bring so much excitement and happiness in your videos it makes them a joy to watch and learn. I really want your videos to teach even more. Then again I'm selfish. Love the videos Dan!
Wow what a stunning stone Pinolite is, my deceased love of my life, she would have loved a pendant and or earrings of that, I got her lots of pendants with Queensland Boulder Opal and other Stones only found in the Kimberley region of Western Australia when I would travel for work, she lived in Scotland and did the long distance thing. She would have cherished that stone, she wasn’t about bling, but unusual stones like me she loved, even the rough pink quartz in it’s natural state I gave her from my property. This video just took me right back there with her happy and sad memories. Thanks for that in remembering she is still present.
Great video Dan and what an epic mining operation , just out of interest do the miners have to restore the land when the mine is worked out if so would it be possible to do a video on the restoration maybe put up before and after pictures .
That was a great video love the cuts the flowers just jumped out at you. And those were some amazing nuggets. I'm glad they let you film some of the operation.
The beautiful thing about video like Dan’s is that those old guy are going to eventually have to retire and hopefully Dan’s videos are inspiring young people to get out there and learn more. Thanks Dan.
#### YOUR DAD SEEMED LIKE HE WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME!!!! It was great that you took him along with you... I always wish my dad would have enjoyed doing things like rock hounding and metal detecting along with me. It just wasn't his cup of tea, and that I understood... That sure is a pretty rock. If I was still making belt buckles that stone would look awesome in a lady's buckle!!!!!
Dan! Greetings from the state of Pennsylvania! My 7 year old and I love watching your channel! We bought our first panning kit for Christmas, and we have started traveling around to our local streams and old iron mines, while being careful, to find what we can, it has been so much fun for both of us, he and I have become gem and rock enthusiasts, we don’t have much gold around here but hey, we are trying! Thank you again for the great channel!!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Superb channel and videos. As a kid I always invisioned seeing that kind of gold in my pan.... and the new gemstone is a fantasy in stone.
Dan thanks for all the new content lately, I appreciate the effort that goes into making these videos for us. Once again another great video, keep em coming, Heavy Pans! Cheers
Hi Dan, I am a new subscriber and a bearded old git to boot. I am really enjoying your videos, and this revelation about Pinolite was fascinating. I just wish I was allowed to prospect where I live- unfortunately - the British government think that they own any valuable metals or minerals in the UK. (But that aint gonna stop me!!) Good prospecting.. or whatever the correct wish for good fortune is in BC.😊
Amazing piece of rock. Flowers or snowflakes, no two are ever the same. I imagine that once polished, the depth of layering is fantastic to look at. Photos just don't do justice.
Oh my goodness thank you so much for that video I was just glued to my computer and you look like a little boy in a toy store your eyes were just as open as they could get and the gold oh my goodness beautiful gold specimens I wish I discovered that site I hope you sell a lot of that is beautiful as always thank you for all your hard work and bringing this video see you on the next one😁🇨🇦🇨🇦⛏️🙄
I just adore how excited you get about rocks. 💜 They jump in my pockets and follow me home... And now I'm gonna be eyeballing some rocks I have more closely. The ones where I've said to them, "Uh, what are YOU? You're not porphyry..." as they jump in my pockets.
Wow! 4oz on the top take! Do that 2-3 times a day! And the 'Penalite,' stone is amazing! Great day Dan, and I hope you get some great gold on your claims too!
Your enthusiasm for gold and other gems is fantastic!! I have hobbies but I need to find one that brings me joy like this stuff brings joy to you. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us!
Please add some more videos showing if you use the stone and any jewellery etc. thank you we love your videos thanks for introducing us to this stone it is beautiful
Loved this episode Dan , first time seeing big nuggets like that, Wow. I wish I had some of that Pinolite . Because it really is beautiful plus it would make a excellent tiled floor. Thank you for sharing. 🤗❤️👍
this channel is better than the discovery channel's gold mining show by a long shot!
It is what gold rush should be
@@moody5271 minus the BS drama they like to add to the show.
real shi*! honestly learn more about mining and lapidary here than you ever could there.
Dan's one of the best
Both great
Thanks to everyone at the mine for being excellent hosts for our favorite youtube gold and gem guy!
Pretty easy to be good hosts when he is our favourite as well!!
I agree with you my friend ❤️
I'm actually surprised that you guys got him out of there. Like most rock hounds, Dan much prefers to just sit and burrow in the dirt and rocks like a little puppy. Just like Pauly, just like the rest of us! Thank you for being such great hosts!
I vote for more of this!
It would be a lot of fun to see different mine sites in action. With all the different locations and set ups.
Right - and it's the best of both worlds! Semi-Precious Stones (I'm sure Gemstones) and GOLD! lol 😂 😂
Wow that Pinolite was *_Incredible!_* my brain went straight to the massive out-croping up higher and cutting slabs for countertops, tile walls, and floors... The variety and uniqueness would make for a highly desirable (and profitable 😛) so very many possibilities. I suspect that pinolite will become its own gold mine for them!
Thanks for sharing with us today Dan... Today most certainly earned my subscription!
Those potential uses for this stone were my thoughts exactly.
...and profit is good 🙂
I bet it is! 🤪 Are you hiring? I am more than willing to work long hours and get dirty and will accept payment for services offered in Pinolite 🤣
@@johnwilliams8818 well. I *do* live in BC, so I'll check the hills until I find something and get back to you 😄
@Solaris BC huh? I heard there is a Radiologist who opened a clinic in BC where he does "Head to Toe" M.R.I.s and then reviews everything he finds with you...That would be so cool! Wait? What were we talking about again? 🤣

Hello to those who care, and have a good day!
Have a great day!! Enjoy!!👍😁
Dan is like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to finding the right piece of pinolite 😂
Great video Dan. That stone was amazing. It's always impressive what nature can produce.
Thanks Dan that was an amazing adventure! Great gold with amazing nuggets and those stones were lovely! 🤘

I love Dan's pure passion and excitement
Unbelievable! I am blown away by the beauty of each cut. Outstanding. Thank you all so very much for this experience.
You hit a home run with this one. The crystal shape stone was my favorite. What a beautiful treasure this earth is
What the what, those nuggets looked like a hand full of one inch gravel! The Pinolite is beautiful. Love this adventure. Absolutely my favorite channel. Thanks to everyone at the mine for letting us see your operation, hope you keep having good luck finding those huge nuggets. As always, another amazing video from you Dan. Can't wait to see the next one.
Wow! You weren't kidding when you said you had a video coming out with big nuggets! Thanks to the mine owners for shareing there site.
What an incredible gold and mineral vid Dan, always a new and exciting adventure! I can't wait to check out the new gemstones in your shop!!
Glad you enjoyed it

Crazy how nice they turn out. Keep more of this type of content coming Dan!
I love that you found a picture!!! I find many incredible pictures when cutting the stone.
My goodness Dan. Now this was totally amazing. The size of those nuggets....... Can only imagine how much "smaller" stuff was in the cleanup. And the Pinolite...... Pretty as a whole piece, but then when it was cut and opened....... WOW. Some really pretty stones. I think my favorite was the one you all called the Jungle scene.

Very nice of those guys to give you an inside look at their operation and let you put out a video about it.
I love how you can see on the miner's faces how proud they are of those nuggets. Congratulations 👍
Nosotros soñamos con poder algún día hacer eso..pero aquí en España está prohibido..un saludo..
And Dan, thank you for bringing these producers to the public. Showing us how the beautiful things that enrich our lives have their origin and the people behind them.
Happy birthday Dan!
Wow!! Dan, that is amazing. What a wonderful day out and finding a new treasure! Very nice!❤

@@georgekohorst4563 Thank you I appreciate that.
Enjoyed your adventure and seeing bigger nuggets of GOLD. The Pinolite is simply beautiful !! Thanks for sharing !!
Wow, amazing! Never have I seen such big nuggets on videos! And awesome Pedialyte. Such a beautiful patterned stone. Thank you for sharing
Great video Dan! And kudos to the operation for letting you have so much access! Thanks for sharing.
Dan , We do not like rocks , or big machines...said no one ever !! Great work 👏
Great video! I love how you have such a positive attitude and try so hard for us viewers!
The new gem resembles flowered wallpaper up close. Awesome!
This was an adventure! I am so glad you brought us along to see this.
I look forward to seeing more of this type of mining!😇
Do what you love and love what you do. I think that was written for Dan. Kid in a candy store. Seeing Dan so happy makes me happy. Love his videos.
Great video Dan and what an epic mining operation , just out of interest do the miners have to restore the land when the mine is worked out if so would it be possible to do a video on the restoration maybe put up before and after pictures .
That was a great video love the cuts the flowers just jumped out at you. And those were some amazing nuggets. I'm glad they let you film some of the operation.
That looked like a great mine site to explore. Dan, thank you for another great example of geology at work! Keep up the great work.
The beautiful thing about video like Dan’s is that those old guy are going to eventually have to retire and hopefully Dan’s videos are inspiring young people to get out there and learn more. Thanks Dan.
Fantastic video Dan. Neat to see a different placer operation and to learn about a unique mineral from right here in BC : )
Looking forward to your next visit to the placer mine, next spring.
Dan, your videos are the only thing I get excited about these days. Awesome video!
Glad you like them!
That’s very nice but also very sad. I hope you’re ok, and if not, you’ll make it to more exciting times!
Beautiful gold, stones and scenery
A win win win !
That was awesome Dan.thanks for bringing us along on a new adventure and a new beautiful rock that I never new about,man that stuff is beautiful.!😊☮️

Beautiful stone Dan. Amazing find and video as always!!!
The pinolite gem stone is so beautiful. It reminds me of the ART NOUVEAU STYLE. Very interseting video. Thanks
Absolutely beautiful rocks. And some amazing "nuggs", can't beat it. Thanks Dan, keep on ur amazing adventures. 👍👍👍
Thanks, will do!
Pinolite is a really cool looking gem stone. Thanks to you for sharing this and to the miners for allowing you to film it.
Nature does some amazing things!😁 They almost look like fossils of leaves
The Pinolite slabs are beautiful, reminds me of a bamboo forest!
Thanks Dan. I never known about this type gem stone. Today you add my knowledge another word.
the more i watch your adventures the more i admire you just a word thank you
Were in the gold... Sunday has just got a lot better
The pinolite was gorgeous, looked like so much fun out there
An amazing adventure.......well adventuressss 6 in 1 : gemstones, gold mining, cutting, wildlife, beautiful scenery, and great people !!! Thank You
Amazing piece of rock. Flowers or snowflakes, no two are ever the same. I imagine that once polished, the depth of layering is fantastic to look at. Photos just don't do justice.
I was absolutely captivated the whole time. Beautiful Pinolite. And the Gold looked nice too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh my goodness thank you so much for that video I was just glued to my computer and you look like a little boy in a toy store your eyes were just as open as they could get and the gold oh my goodness beautiful gold specimens I wish I discovered that site I hope you sell a lot of that is beautiful as always thank you for all your hard work and bringing this video see you on the next one😁🇨🇦🇨🇦⛏️🙄
I would have nicknamed it British Columbian Leaf Stone since it looks like there are stems and leaves all through it!
What a scenic location, I love the mountains in the background.
The Pinolite is incredible. I would love that as a counter top!
Great video! Your happiness is infectious. Absolutely beautiful scenery.
That is the most beautiful stone I have ever seen. Wow is only a start!
Great guy letting you show us that operation and the stone, wow. Nice video Dan.
That cut stone would make an extremely beautiful counter top
Yes it would
Very enjoyable to watch for sure Dan I enjoyed the operator remove the big stone to preserve the machines
I want to be like Dan when I grow up! Loving what I do and sharing it with the world!
I find it quite beautiful that those stones are/were found mostly in Austria, because the white "flowers" in the stones really resemble edelweiss.
The bear sculpture was awesome!!🙌🍻
The gold was pretty as usual but the black and white stone when is cut is so gorgeous
That sharp quartz piece was absolutely stunning!!!!!
That Pinolite is stunning. 😀
The cut Pinolite is absolutely GORGEOUS
I just adore how excited you get about rocks. 💜 They jump in my pockets and follow me home...
And now I'm gonna be eyeballing some rocks I have more closely. The ones where I've said to them, "Uh, what are YOU? You're not porphyry..." as they jump in my pockets.
Thanks for taking us along to see the mine in action!
Wow! 4oz on the top take! Do that 2-3 times a day!
And the 'Penalite,' stone is amazing!
Great day Dan, and I hope you get some great gold on your claims too!
Fingers crossed!
Your enthusiasm for gold and other gems is fantastic!! I have hobbies but I need to find one that brings me joy like this stuff brings joy to you. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us!
Beautiful new BC specimen , gold galore & also nice pyrite ☺️🖤
How pretty would a porch & walkway of pinolite be!?!? Wow!
I feel the same about the black bears. Thanks for being real about them. ♡
Please add some more videos showing if you use the stone and any jewellery etc. thank you we love your videos thanks for introducing us to this stone it is beautiful
Pinolite is beautiful! Border stone, etc.
Loved this episode Dan , first time seeing big nuggets like that, Wow. I wish I had some of that Pinolite . Because it really is beautiful plus it would make a excellent tiled floor. Thank you for sharing. 🤗❤️👍
Thank you for sharing this video. I love those stones. They are beautiful
All I have to say about the pinolite is wow..... And the nuggets were AUsome.... Keep the videos coming
I enjoy the rock and gem bits usually more than the gold prospecting. Some of the best consistent content you can find.
Now I want a piece of jewelry with "specimen" gold. That is stunning. And SO COOL!
Wow -- Scale is everything.
