  • Vancouver Islands famous Dallisite! Jack and Christa took me to their secret spot to collect Dallisite to sell on my website: www.danhurdprospecting.com/shop
    Not only did we find great lapidary treasures, we also had a great time and I made some new friends.

    I have been a rock hound in my youth. Never had time as I got older. The gems you keep finding and sharing makes me wish I could go searching. I grew up in the Caribou and now I realize that many stones I found in the 50s were gems. My dad made jewelry from many I found. Thank you for sharing your finds and knowledge. The dallasite is beautiful. ❤

    What a great video! It was amazing to get out with you Dan and experience your enthusiasm and teachings in person. We absolutely enjoyed the natural beauty of the day, the great Dallasite collecting, but mainly your company. You are the reason we went onto youtube and we can't thank you enough for being our inspiration! Jack and Christa.

    Don't forget Gordonite, it's spectacular. What could be better than rock hounding in a crystal clear river on a hot sunny day? The water is so clean even when you disturb the bottom, it still runs clear!! Gotta love Vancouver Island.

    "I've gotten great rocks" is actually perfectly correct Dan, just so you know. It's much more commonly heard in the UK than in North America, where you are more likely to hear "I've got great rocks", which when used for the past tense is technically incorrect. Just wanted to point that out. :P
    I've never heard of Dallasite before - the more I watch your videos, the more I learn about just how many beautiful minerals there are on earth. It is truly stunning stuff. Also that water looks good enough to drink - I wish I had creeks like that close to where I live. You are so lucky out there in BC.
