Great game Dan thanks 😊 not as good as watching gold panning though, wish I could have a go but I live in England, don't think there's much gold in these rivers 😕 take care 😀
Hi would you like some company to join in your adventures I also have rich gold claims I am starting out fairly new to the whole gold mining I know just enough to get by tough I'm sure you can teach an old dog new tricks I can pay for my own expenses
I'm one of those disabled persons who enjoy watching your videos. When I was more mobile, rock hounding was my thing. The Oyster River was one of my favorite places. Nothing like going out on a hot summer day and wading through the crystal clear water looking for pretty rocks. Like you I brought lots of stuff home, so I can continue to enjoy the hobby of lapidary for many years to come.
Dan panning in in a stream in the middle of winter is the most quintessentially Canadian thing I have seen a while. Love your videos Dan. Very relaxing. Chill and informative.
In California the rules for placer claims often specified that you had to work your claim through the wet season - typically October through May or June.
Major props to you Dan. Its been a little while since I clicked on one of your videos but I am ecstatic to see you getting outside sponsors on the channel that are willing to support you and your adventures. Can't wait to see your channel grow even more!
If you ever want to come to Australia, especially the North Queensland area, your welcome to stay here for no cost as a base camp. Be so interesting sitting and a fire listening to your stories.
A trick my relative used was double tarp your outside gs engines and leave a shop light in there over night. Might be a good idea to cover with non-flammable covers. The shop light over the engine keeps the engine just a bit warmer. Good Luck!
Dan, I have a really hard time imagining you wasting time with digital fishing! :) I have this vision of a portable rock outcropping with a mineralized vein in it that gets pulled in front of you when you sit in your chair for the evening. Love your work brother, take care
Dan, don't forget there is a lot of turtle under the rabbit. Leaving the throttle near the turtle on a cold engine until it gets some heat in the rings will help with cold starts. Starting any cold engine at full tilt will run dry rings on your cylinders and score the walls resulting in a loss of compression, the long term result is a stubborn engine that needs Cosby sauce and takes time to start..... Love your equipment early and it'll cost you the same time as fixing it later....... Minus the headache and $.
Dan when it's that cold grab a propane torch and warm up the crankcase on the engine so that the oil is nice and warm and thin before you try to run it so you don't wipe out the rod (they don't have rod bearings) and warm up the cylinder head too and it'll start a lot easier.
I love your videos, now everywhere I go I think hmmm gather buckets and learn more at home to maybe get a mini sluce . Gonna be prospecting here in Utah this summer
I just got into watching gold prospecting videos on UA-cam this week randomly, and gosh I really want to get into it some day in the future, it appeals to me greatly! I love your channel Dan, thanks for sharing you good energy and wisdom with the world. May your treasure hunts be plentiful! ✨Hello from the Kootenays
I just could not believe that you were panning in the stream! I could feel my toes curling at the thought of that cold. I do forget that you Canadians are well used to the frigid conditions- and are hardy folk. This is video proof! I love watching your videos and your wife is worth all the gold combined standing in the snow filming. She must really love her husband…no dowt abowt it!
You can always add a splash of cheap vodka in the pan for antifreeze. If you put it in your panning basin, you won't have to crack the ice free when it gets cold and won't have to hike to the creek.
If you have a wood burner in your home or if you have a fire in your garden keeping the ash for the winter months and spread on your driveway it is more economic than salt. PS it does not need to be hot cold will do. I am in the UK and it's work for when we get ice.
Love your videos Dan. I live in western North Carolina. The Appalachian mountains. You are a gentleman and I appreciate your time to help people who are into prospecting. I have a story for you but I cannot share it with people on you tube. It's about a discovery that my father and uncle used to look for back in the 70s. It's about the treasure of gold that the Cherokee Indians hid in the mountains of Easter Tennessee during the trail of tears March to Oklahoma. The Cherokee Indians hid gold in a cave in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee. My uncle grew up there and so did my father in the 1930s. They been in several caves that they collected indian artifacts . There is a ton of Cherokee Indian gold hidden and I know where they were looking. They only looked in the fall when the green plants were dead so they could see what they were looking for. A cave full of Gold. Want to go get rich with me. I'm telling you the truth and the hidd÷n gold of the Cherokee Indians on the March to Oklahoma. The trail of tears. .y uncle and dad didn't have fancy metal detectors back then. I'm telling you the truth .
Looks like we'll have some future videos to look forward to in your quest for gold. I also wouldn't mind another group collaboration like you did down here in the States over the summer. Keep those videos coming.
I'm getting tired of the snow, and now it's raining season, and I couldn't look for crystals in the dried up river bed, because it's flooded, awesome video Dan
I just want you to know you are like the Bob Ross of prospectors... Always unbeat and in a good mood and just entertaining to watch not to mention always trying to teach something new
You earned my subscription already a fee days ago! I am living vicariously through you now, as I am dying of stage 4 breast cancer and can’t do what I wanted, which is what you’re doing. Thank you for this❤️🔥
Hey Dan, another amazing video with incredible content ! There is nothing like a gold fix during these cold snowy winter months. Once the snow is gone and the ground is thawed (for me that's late May early June) the gold hunt is on!! Again thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. Cheers, Rob from Winnipeg.
I would recommend that you run some of the high grade gas in your crusher. It usually comes in 1 gal cans. Good for longer storage. Takes longer to go bad. Good for about a year. I worked on small engines for a couple of years. The biggest problem was modern fuel. Lasts maybe a couple of months and then creates a multitude of problems.
If you don’t have a jack for the bobcat, used the bucket to lift the machine as high as you can, shove a as far back along the frame as you can by the wheel then set it back down and hopefully that’ll get your back wheel off the ground, then you can use. Your rock crushers go juice to seat the bead…….just careful on how much go juice you use and watch your eyebrows ;)
Hi Dan I'm a new subscriber to your channel and just wanted to say after watching your older videos YOU GOT ME HOOKED. I'm a truck driver from the U.S and live in Savannah GA and we have gold mining and prospecting in Northern Georgia and you have interested me into taking some time off this summer and maybe heading up to dahlonega Georgia and trying my hand at prospecting for a few days. Thank you for sharing you gold mining expertize with us and I hope to see you one day find that mother of all mother loads.
@ Dan Hurd well dan you got my sub when i came across you doing that diamond prospecting video awhile back. you are such an up beat guy and it lifts my spirits just watching your exhilaration as you go about you prospecting. whether it is gold or jade whatever! you just seem to have an natural exuberance that makes all you are doing so damn interesting! if you keep going i will keep watching! 👍👍💯💯😎
Good on you Dan , nice to see you found the presence of gold in your mine I bet you cant wait till spring to investigate further . Hopefully one day you will make it down to Australia to do some panning / metal detecting , well peace to you mate.
And thank you for posting such cool videos.. thats the videos i need before bed. Relaxing and entertaining plus great lessons ✌ can you maybe mention someday where to find micro gold? Over here in germany we have rivers that carry micro gold but i dont know where to look to higher my chances to find it 😅
man, i can't watch any of these videos of yours Dan without getting that gold fever! needless to say, i watch almost all of them bahahaha! between this and my father's love of the hobby has inspired me to get out there and start panning myself. been finding a flake here and there but its too little to keep, so i just give it back to the river. no need being greedy! i'd would love the chance one day to get out for a day and just talk for a while, and it makes me pretty upset that you dont have much help moving stuff around. big fan, and more importantly, avid student!
I love your videos. Avid rock collector here NC ga. Area I found old mine and several railings quartz with small gold what a thrill I just keep looking lol.
Dealing with steel blasting media. I've had issues like blowing holes through diverters. I've tried many different metals of all hardness's. The best I've found is welding the surface with a wire feed welder with the average steel wire. So, maybe you could just weld all the chain link surfaces & maybe later, the inside of the barrel.
AWESOME. PLEASE SEND A PAIR OF THOSE GLOVES TO "FLOUR GOLD WIZARD" Watching him pan in Wisconsin bare handed in winter is PAINFUL. Send him a pair it would make my day too.
"Sundays are for pickin' stones" ~Squirrely Dan, Letterkenny~ Sorry Squirrely Dan, but Sundays are for watching Dan Hurd Prospecting (picking BETTER than stones 🤣🤣)
Thats excellent news, really happy for you, also what an amazing place you live in, love all your videos, the scenery makes it all worth while whether you find gold or not x
You should try and keep your rock crusher in one spot for a year, then pan the dirt around the out put to see if you have any flakes. Just a weir idea. I panned all the mud I washed off my truck one time. Had a few little pieces of flower gold lol
I use alcohol free gas in all my power equipment and have no issues starting any time of year. It's more expensive, but worth it. If it's available, you should try it.
I find quartz rocks that look just like that all the time. I live on cape cod which is a glacial sand and rock deposit left behind when the glaciers receded millions of years ago. Think those might contain anything good? Only one way to tell, I guess.
I also live on glacial till. There is some gold around, but you probably won't find anything bigger than flour gold. Your best bet will be to find a river or stream that cuts through a glacial moraine. It will pick up the glacial pulverized gold and concentrate it for you. The main problem will probably be finding bedrock that doesn't have 60' of glacial till overburden on it. I find it's easier to look for a clay layer (acts like a false bedrock) with gravels on it. Good luck friend, and remember, if you are looking for super fine gold, clarification is your best friend. If I'm panning, I classify down to 1/8 or even 1/16 of an inch. Even small pebbles will bounce the super fine gold out of your pan.
@@scottmcintosh2988 I've got a plan to eventually move up north. Probably to Maine. But your probably right about the mountains and valleys of NH and VT.
Yes i live vicariously through you Dan! Love your channel wish i could be out there too! You should tell the developer of the fishing game to work with you and with your knowledge make a gold panning gem finding game where you can find ruby and sapphire, peridot, agates maybe even diamond as well etc depending on the rocks and geographic location, hhave a map that lets you travel to different locations, decide to sell stuff off to expand your claim etc buy equipment metal detector, sluce box, now that would be cool!
I grew up in Searchlight Nevada an old mining town that was started in 1800s if you know where your Las Vegas is it’s about an hour and a half towards California Arizona so is that a Is that the three corners where California Arizona and Nevada meet meet they just opened your mind there this last year I’ve had a cold fever since I was a kid I still like going to areas on BML and they can still look gold Or nothing so if you ever want to take a trip to another gold mine. That’s the best place
Got a gyration for you dan, I work in stone(as in countertops ect) and I was wondering if it’s possible some of the busy quartz slabs could have gold in them...
I've had to take a propane torch to the cylinder and head of my generator to get it started in the cold weather. It's an older 1960s Sears 1300-watt genset. Even with 10w 30 in it it still doesn't like the cold.
It's trapped in the vugs but it's there! They may have quit thinking it was all high grade surface gold and never tried going deeper. Those veins deposit where they will. Worth digging into it, 🤠⛏️👍
I'm already planning my gold prospecting trip for July, here in Oregon. since there's snow on the mountains gotta wait for the snow to melt and the rivers to go down to safe levels.
Thanks Dan you seem great now man if i ever have heart surgery like you did i'd hope to bounce back like you Dan your the man!!! Keep it coming and God Bless you brother! The bobcat you can spray wd-40 inside inner wall of tire use a grill lighter next to the rim & tire bead it will mount onto rim then just add air. #HeavyPansFromVirginia
Hello I am new to this channel, I was curious if you would be willing to do a "teardown" of sorts of your rock crusher.... I am considering making one and I am collecting information and ideas. Looks like winter has you cornered too lol
Thanks Im watching you to avoid the world tragedies! Keep it up!! Oh and Im in New Zealand, and we have gold here, in black sand? But we have quarts seems too. Looking for a new hobby.
did you find enough gold which would warrant you to return to the same spot and look for more or would it be more advantageous for you to go and explore a new spot on your claim?

that one didn't pan out
I see what you did there Hawn L...

I’m a big fan of your channel Dan, but I’m darn happy I live in the Caribbean.
It looks so cold, I’m shivering just watching and living vicariously.
If you ever want to come to Australia, especially the North Queensland area, your welcome to stay here for no cost as a base camp. Be so interesting sitting and a fire listening to your stories.

Dan,
I have a really hard time imagining you wasting time with digital fishing! :)
I have this vision of a portable rock outcropping with a mineralized vein in it that gets pulled in front of you when you sit in your chair for the evening.
Love your work brother, take care
Dan has taught me the importance of always make sure to cover and weatherization your equipment.
12 years outdoors and it is still working strong. always hard to start in the cold, dry , wet or covered in snow.
Dan, don't forget there is a lot of turtle under the rabbit. Leaving the throttle near the turtle on a cold engine until it gets some heat in the rings will help with cold starts.
Starting any cold engine at full tilt will run dry rings on your cylinders and score the walls resulting in a loss of compression, the long term result is a stubborn engine that needs Cosby sauce and takes time to start.....
Love your equipment early and it'll cost you the same time as fixing it later....... Minus the headache and $.
Before I showed the clip of it starting I ran it fir 10 min. That is why when I actually started it for the run. I could take it off choke right away.
Still went straight to the bunny though.....
Thanks for the reply, if you're ever down in WA I'd love to hang out and help where I can.
Luvved the video from the snow shovelling to the wrench tightening the nuts ,to the GO juice...makes for realism ,Thanks Dan
Dan when it's that cold grab a propane torch and warm up the crankcase on the engine so that the oil is nice and warm and thin before you try to run it so you don't wipe out the rod (they don't have rod bearings) and warm up the cylinder head too and it'll start a lot easier.
What a beautiful spot in the woods you have there, Dan. I love the snow for a few days, but I couldn’t live in it again.
Lord Dan! That River looked coooold!!! LOVE THE VIDEO!! So glad that mine has gold in it!! Summer will be interesting
Love the snow.....
Great memories from the time I lived in BC...
I love your videos, now everywhere I go I think hmmm gather buckets and learn more at home to maybe get a mini sluce . Gonna be prospecting here in Utah this summer
Looks pretty good, Dan! Looks like there might be some success at the dream claim! Thanks for bringing us along!
✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
@11:44 you can see the legs of a wild sasquatch walking in the distance. 😲 Be careful Dan!
I just got into watching gold prospecting videos on UA-cam this week randomly, and gosh I really want to get into it some day in the future, it appeals to me greatly! I love your channel Dan, thanks for sharing you good energy and wisdom with the world. May your treasure hunts be plentiful! ✨Hello from the Kootenays
Love the prospecting life lived vicariously through your videos Dan. Even when all that's found is a sore butt and a strange moss! 😃
I just could not believe that you were panning in the stream! I could feel my toes curling at the thought of that cold. I do forget that you Canadians are well used to the frigid conditions- and are hardy folk. This is video proof! I love watching your videos and your wife is worth all the gold combined standing in the snow filming. She must really love her husband…no dowt abowt it!
Awesome video Dan! Thank you for bringing us along. Glad you did find some gold!
You can always add a splash of cheap vodka in the pan for antifreeze. If you put it in your panning basin, you won't have to crack the ice free when it gets cold and won't have to hike to the creek.
Rock on Dan! Spring is just around the corner.
I never noticed that small rock crusher , that's nice. so soon sacks & sacks of gold dust. you lucky man.
If you have a wood burner in your home or if you have a fire in your garden keeping the ash for the winter months and spread on your driveway it is more economic than salt. PS it does not need to be hot cold will do. I am in the UK and it's work for when we get ice.
Here I am, once again, Sunday morning chilling with the daughter and I see Dan has a new upload. It's gonna be a good day

So I was having a heck of a time getting it start when I realized the whole thing is frozen solid🥶👀. Great video Dan🤙
Looks like we'll have some future videos to look forward to in your quest for gold. I also wouldn't mind another group collaboration like you did down here in the States over the summer. Keep those videos coming.
The satisfaction of getting a motor started after working on it is incredible 👌
I'm getting tired of the snow, and now it's raining season, and I couldn't look for crystals in the dried up river bed, because it's flooded, awesome video Dan
That area looks beautiful.
I just want you to know you are like the Bob Ross of prospectors... Always unbeat and in a good mood and just entertaining to watch not to mention always trying to teach something new
Wow where you live/ prospect is so much like where I live near the Colorado high country! So far but so much alike!

Thanks for having some wintertime fun.. enjoyed this video..
Dan you guys live in the greatest place in the world and in my opinion Canada is the best nicest people I've ever met
What a nice place to live
Most people dream of having something like this.
Thanks for sharing Dan always enjoy watching your videos and adventures
Dan, the fishing game looks cool but i have an idea for you. Make a prospecting game. Surely there is tech to support it. I’d buy it for sure!
And thank you for posting such cool videos.. thats the videos i need before bed. Relaxing and entertaining plus great lessons ✌ can you maybe mention someday where to find micro gold? Over here in germany we have rivers that carry micro gold but i dont know where to look to higher my chances to find it 😅
Man I love what you do, being in the outdoors away from crowded places....just nature and gold 👌
Been waiting for this video to come out for a while . I excited to see what you have found especially from the mine on your dream claim .
Oh boy! I have a feeling that gold mine is going to get a wake up call this summer! 😁👍🏻💥 Hopefully some explody action will occurre!
Such a beautiful piece of land you have Dan . You are really lucky to have it my friend . 👍👍
man, i can't watch any of these videos of yours Dan without getting that gold fever! needless to say, i watch almost all of them bahahaha! between this and my father's love of the hobby has inspired me to get out there and start panning myself. been finding a flake here and there but its too little to keep, so i just give it back to the river. no need being greedy! i'd would love the chance one day to get out for a day and just talk for a while, and it makes me pretty upset that you dont have much help moving stuff around. big fan, and more importantly, avid student!
That was cool! Nice to see the haze of yellow!
Well done Dan one season there and enjoy the reward you've been blessed with.
At those temperatures you might want to run the crusher on pure go juice.
Great personality you have Mr Dan and fun to see your videos ! Well done !!!! 😎😀😊😇
I love your videos. Avid rock collector here NC ga. Area I found old mine and several railings quartz with small gold what a thrill I just keep looking lol.

That's not winter Dan , that's a bunch of unassembled snowmen for sale . Pickup only no shipping . : ) Great vid as always . Peace from Up North .
Maybe cover your crusher with a tarp or something similar.
Jason the mason would pan bare handed, he is crazy!

A chill Sunday watching Dan, best thing..

I'm guessing that you couldn't talk anyone else into going outside to hold the camera for you? It looks cold 🥶🥶
They should make a good prospecting game mining and panning in VR
I'm here to watch you "pan it oat" 😆, respect and love from New Zealand.
I've had to take a propane torch to the cylinder and head of my generator to get it started in the cold weather. It's an older 1960s Sears 1300-watt genset. Even with 10w 30 in it it still doesn't like the cold.

As you can see....it is winter here...and I can't get out for SH*T!
😆👍
should have brought the fishing pole, I bet you could score a brookie!
can you try to max out the bitrate on the cameras and hold a good bitrate under editing? hopefully it will make the video better.
Hello I am new to this channel, I was curious if you would be willing to do a "teardown" of sorts of your rock crusher.... I am considering making one and I am collecting information and ideas. Looks like winter has you cornered too lol
Good show...congrats on the sponsor....you definitely earned it!
Hello from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 DanHurd
Love your videos. You live in a beautiful place.
Thanks Im watching you to avoid the world tragedies! Keep it up!! Oh and Im in New Zealand, and we have gold here, in black sand? But we have quarts seems too. Looking for a new hobby.
Sitting in the snow panning having fun. Thank you.
did you find enough gold which would warrant you to return to the same spot and look for more or would it be more advantageous for you to go and explore a new spot on your claim?
