  • First trip of the year into my Placer gold claim I call the "Dream Claim" For this trip in I spent the day up at Nugget Bar looking for more of the gold nuggets that this gravel bar is known for. I decided to check a spot I have not been able to detect before because of some big boulders. Rolling boulders is always fun and can sometimes produce some really nice gold.

    Holy-moly Dan - rolling boulders - cross a raging river - busted the shovel - hiked the mountain - glad your heart is better than new! 👍

    It was AMAZING to meet you and the family at the BC rock/gem show. I’m a full grown bearded man and I had to turn around and prep myself before I worked up the courage, to walk over and meet you. I honestly haven’t been that school boy giddy in 20 years 😂
    It was honour hearing you speak in person, feeling your genuineness in real life. I’ve got one of your pieces up front and centre in our home display now ☺️☺️
    By the way… my offer still stands. If you ever need someone to shovel or move rocks for you, it would be my pleasure to tag along ( as I’m sure your followers could move that mountain for you )
    You guys rock 🤙🤙

    I recently found gold in NJ! There's a place where glaciers dropped two long, parallel hills of material atop hard clay. Little springs pop out in places and form small streams, which erode gullies into the clay, where traps form. Sure enough, the first little gravel trap I cleaned out had 6 flecks of gold and one larger of platinum!

    Cracked me up when you talked about that piece of gold" you found when you moved that one rock "Possibly being a piece of paint of my yellow crow bar". I just started cackling like the witch in Snow White - I couldn't help myself! 🤣 I know what you mean about "bad eyes" though.

    Would you make a video and explain how you guys get these claims? Do you buy the land? Lease the land? How do you find the land you want to use as a claim? What's the process of getting it as your claim, costs and such. How long is it yours? How do you search for claims? How many claims do you have? Is there a limit for claims a person can have so one guy doesn't claim all the land for himself? How does the next guy get the claim from you? I'd love to understand how all this claim stuff works. I hear you and Pauly talk about your claims but I've never seen anyone really go in great deal about how it all works. Like your picture stone claim, is that yours for life? Did you buy the land after finding the stone? Do you share profits with Canada or British Columbia? A detailed video would be really interesting Dan
