    Dan,
    Just a note. Here in California where I am, we are all sheltered in place due to the virus. You bring the great outdoors right into our living rooms to share. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I thoroughly 😊 enjoy the scenery as well as the company. You are very lovable and we truly appreciate you!

    Dan, maybe a video discussing how the claims process works? For those of us who don't know? I know I can giggle it, but better to hear from one who knows. And yes, the scenery is breathtaking!

      Dan, this is a good idea. My wife was asking about how you get a claim, and I told her honestly I had no idea. So one telling us how you find the claim and file it would be interesting to your loyal followers. It may not be for the people who just want to see gold.

      I doubt you can claim something beside the river in the USA since its public 10 feet from the water line i believe, unless he in another country. Think he just calls it a claim but there is a way of claiming a spot but dunno about the whole beside the river thing.

    Man, we fear these days the most, the ones when not much is “found”. But seriously, exploring helps find those days we walk away from with pockets full. And you found so much! The nature is worth it. Honestly, I loved this. Whether anything was found or not. It’s about getting out.

    Dan, I am retired, so I suppose I could come up and jump your claim, but it would involve days on the road from here in Texas, and then I might miss some of your UA-cam content! So your claim or claims are all safe from me, because I get such a kick out of watching you show folks how to do prospecting. Oh, and I have never panned a single pan of gold, so I'd also have to spend lots of time learning. But you've done a good job of teaching, so I might be able to handle that! :-)
