Untouched Pocket Loaded in Gold!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 січ 2025
- I found he most amazing little pocket in the bedrock loaded with great gold. And this was only after about an hour of panning. Tranquille River's public area is a great spot to go recreational gold panning. It is a free spot for anyone to gold pan and has better gold than most private claims out there. Gold panners can be seen up and down the river all the time and yet there is still great gold to be had by anyone.

This video is produced by Dan Hurd, Prospector, Miner, Teacher and UA-camr, as part of his UA-cam channel based on educational videos about gold mining, gold panning, prospecting, rock hounding, and mineral collecting.
Stop responding to the trolls, Dan. And you do so in such a kind manner... Shows your true character. Just ignore the morons, focus on the positive. Good luck
Trolls trolls trolls everywhere. This is the first time I came across your channel, enjoyed your humor and style. Thanks for sharing your hobby!
Agree ,prospecting and live in Nevada,he definitely dosnt need to justify himself,hes doing great videos ,i do what some would consider strange most times to hit ground not often tested ,old saying in Nevada " gold is where you find it" lots of ore rich claims found where so called experts said there was no gold
@Jack Pine Someone who deliberately tries to start trouble like an argument
@@Beatlefish Not really
The look in your eyes during your lecture reminded me of my very intellectual friend holding back the mind blowing amount of information he has on subjects. I love that I found this channel.
He is exactly how I imagined what prospector from 1849 would look like
Just a Hipster version who drinks specialty coffees haha
I just love me an old man Jenkins stereotype
It doesn’t feel like a stereotype at all
😂 facts💪🏿
You should see my buddy Dennis he actually is an old prospector/miner hes like 74 now
A syphilitic, whiskey breathed crudball?
The beard and the hat is all I need to know this guy is legit.
Masindi I thought the same thing 😁
he is hehe for sure
Same. Lol. I help him out sometimes in goldminer. 😂
@@marialiyubman really? That's cool tbh
I wonder if he has a colt on his hip...
I am on here to say that my dad loved your video. He wanred me post to let y'all know that he is no longer with us. We buried him last week. I waited until i could do it. This is his fb account.
I love how friendly and genuine your attitude is in all your videos! I can definitely say you’ve been one of my top inspirations in becoming a gold hound! Thanks for the awesome vids!
Thank you so much!!
Don’t worry about what people say. I think you’re fantastic! I love watching you pan. I’m a beginner and I’m learning so much from you. Thank you so much and good luck out there!💰💰💰
Dan, you are just like the quirky neighbor of my childhood. His knowledge of so many subjects brought so many days of discovery and learning to my youth. Thanks.
He reminds me of Wilsom from home improvement. Except you see more of Wilson's face than Dan's.
The haters can stuff it! Unhappy people everywhere. Screw em
Un happy ha . 45 yrs of panning slushing & more swimming hunting & plain old hap hazzard as a best friend . this old man might as well put a steering wheel on a mule.!
Amen
Hue Man lol he has fun doing it
Sounds like you're hating.. you just feel self justified, but its just as bad.
FreedFree 🤨 aaaah ... sure.
I love that you have hobbies and enjoy life. My family members do nothing but watch TV all day or do yard work because they actually have zero ambition to do anything fun. It's truly sad. You set a good example for lots of us ! Follow your heart.
Hi Im a Civil engineer studying to get a soil mechanics master degree in Panama, and I asssure you, you are very cool. Knowledge is something that shows itself, you are doing an excelent job at it. I am glad that you are doing what you like and getting paid for it. Disregard the haters, they will never amount anything even close to what you are doing.
Dan, you are one of the most informative prospectors on UA-cam. I've learned quite a lot from your videos. A lot of people think that they are UA-cam scholars when most of them probably haven't even found a grain of gold. Keep up with the awesome videos. Thanks always.
Dan is brilliant...would love to meet him one day!
Hope next video has more information for all of us to learn from. Thanks Dan
i just found this channel the other day and i just wanna thank you for what you do. life has been a chaotic mess for me the last few years and your videos make me feel at peace and thats pretty hard to come by. so thank you
Dan, don't let the folks that bad mouth you get you down. I am an old prospector and enjoy your videos I lived in Colorado so I know about gold panning. Keep on doing what you do. I love it.
I can tell you are really into this , and you do know what you are doing more than most. You have done a lot of research and field work. Don't listen to people who put you down, they only do it because they aren't good at panning. If they were they wouldn't put you down.
Don't give Dan Hurd a hard time, he's too kind!
I know! I love watching him.
The internet is not a good place for people who are too nice...
Maybe the people on the internet are just too cruel.
Best to just ignore them they thrive on trying to upset people,pretty sad when you think about it.
@@dantheman9228 I agree.
I really like how you asked your viewers that called you names to please give you the benefit of the doubt. I also really like how you say “I hope I’ve EARNED your subscription”! You are a great speaker, teacher, and man. Thank you for the educational and enjoyment of your videos.
Thank you for sharing your experience, first time I’ve watched you .
When I was a kid growing up in Australia we we drove from Melbourne to Brisbane on a camping trip . We stopped for a picnic next to a fast flowing river like the river bed your filming in here . There was a lip over hanging the side also like the one dug out here .
I was looking for fish and was lay down looking over the lip to see the fish underneath. I saw a thick vein of gold in quartz I shouted my Dad and told him and he just shouted back , Its fool gold !
I swear to this Day I was correct , my Dad never even looked at it .
I was only about ten and haven’t got a clue whereabouts we were , I’ve questioned my Dad but he can’t remember. I’m now 62 and still remember that image.
Anyway , I’ll be watching your great videos again I’m intrigued . 😊
You may not be able to share your "finds" with us, but sharing your prospecting experience thru your exciting and educational videos sure is a great treasure. Thank you!😊😊😊
I haven't prospected in about 40 years but you have inspired me to get back out and start panning again. Thanks.
Love watching your blogs, just came across them but I am totally addicted. Fascinated with the process and patience it takes to find these treasures. The scenery is always beautiful.
Your a good teacher Dan. This is homework for me When I retire as a full timer looking for new adventure and fullfilment.

Ignore the insults, you're educating alot of people. Thank you for all your wonderful content. Btw you're my favourite gold planning miner by far. You love what you do and appreciate Gods creation and show it too us. Keep digging stay safe and watch that old ticker.
You sir are an inspiration of prospectors and rockhounds! I commend you for your excellent videos on this topic. Truer words couldn't have been spoken by an expert such as yourself!
Great videos Dan. My dad built a 3 stage sluice and a spiral wheel to work his claim in the fraser canyon. You know what your doing for sure and you've inspired me to get into working a claim in the fraser canyon like my dad did in the 80's. Cheers.
I'm on a mission to watch all your video's. So much fun watching you find gold! Love your sense of humor, your accent, and your enthusiasm!!!
I could say this 100 times, I wish I had the chance to go out exploring one day with this man..
Me too...its on my bucket list😊
Mamasela 😂
I've never gone gold panning or prospecting, I'm a rock hound! I love your videos and enjoy learning, thank you so much!
Dan Hurd produces masterpieces every time. I am watching every episode with an open mouse. He lives what he fills and I love it. No matter what he explores I know there is something to learn. . His interaction with nature, People , his sense of belonging talks volume to me. Happy to have the opportunity to be with Dan Hurd on his trips despite the distance and language differences. Thanks Dan Hurd!!!!!!!!
Dearest Dan, you absolutely know what you're doing! Ignore the nay-sayers and keep on truckin. I support you 100%! Best regards from Japan.
"He's tiny , but he's got some thickness...."
"Not very big, but I'll keep playing with it untill it peters out..."
😆😆😆
Saw a different video where he was gonna knock some rocks, he's like ohhh it's so ready to come😂😅
@@sparlingwilson6220 just left a witty comment for that time stamp on that vid lol
@@JazzyJae haha yeah “when you smashing but you gotta shit”
That's what she said
Dan, I can't believe you had to stop and explain yourself.
As an aspiring prospector, I've learned soooo much from watching your video's.
Thank You!
Wish I had this gentlemen’s positive energy top guy and great content keep it coming
My man, fan from Manchester Uk 🇬🇧
Sucks fr us in uk as not much gold here, I live in Cornwall so lucky enough to be able to find gold but only found 1/4 of a gram but it's more about getting out and the fun of the hunt
This is the Bob Ross of Panning. Episodes are so relaxing to watch in a world of frustration.
Ignore the haters, man.
Hey Dan Hurd. My wife and I love your episodes. Who ever said that is just jealous. And don't think of those idiots. Think of all of us who enjoy you. You are a very unique person with a great personality. Never change.
Don’t try to reason with trolls! You do you, and keep making this awesome content!
To hell with anyone that puts you down. In my very very humble opinion you do a great job on your videos. Watching your videos has made me want to get out and look for gold. But where I live there is no gold to be found that I've ever heard of. So I get my fix for Gold by watching you. Thank you for taking the time and the immense amount of work it is to film edit and upload the videos. I still want to see you find a huge gold nugget the size of a softball.
Dan this brings you pleasure and I get it having actually gone and done it too. USE TO RUSH to the house after day job and work my bring back buckets. Only stopped by the dinner bell or extremely cold. Have even found great gold in my home state. Georgia has great mountain gold, the heat is unbearable but the sweat provides a wash plant!.
I am grateful for what you do I'm 54 years old and I have multiple sclerosis but I am intermission and I want to get out in Missouri check out The Creeks river banks and see if I could enjoy doing something like this you have taught me alot you have educated me here in Kansas City and I'm going to keep watching and keep learning you are far from an idiot you are far from stupid I think you're very educated very intelligent and I enjoy watching you and I will continue watching you and learning and I will give it a try this spring I'm not out to get rich I'm out to have fun and enjoy life I think my wife and I would really get a kick out of it and if we run across something really cool you'll be the first to know thank you very much Sean Roma I'm Kansas City Missouri I am a civilian u.s. chaplain for veterans in need maybe I'll hit something good and be able to help those guys and gals that are living out tents in the woods live a little better thank you all so much he doing what you're doing I get so excited when I see that you got another video
Who's hating on this man? First few seconds he seemed like a really nice guy
He sure fooled u didn’t he. No gold found here. Just lies.
@@MAXUTTONpracticing He literally shows you small flakes of gold after panning the dirt in the video. 🤨
I love the way this guy just enjoy all the little stuff like digging for hours to maybe find nothing ,but that's the beauty of it. Wanna do this stuff.
I’ve been watching your video’s and your adventures for about 2 years now. You definitely know what your doing Dan. I’m an old school panner, who long ago learned that there is always one trick you haven’t seen before and there is always one place you haven’t looked. Best part is you keep it simple, there is so much misinformation out there yet you always tell it like it is, even if we don’t see all the work and decision making that goes into your work....
This man is a legend its sad that not everyone knows about him he needs more fame
No no no game will ruin him 15 minutes of fame should be enough
He'z a lawp .
A perfect example of think before you speak! Wonderful videos Dan, keep up the Ausome videos!
Your videos are educational and entertaining. I wish i was in a location and had the time to enjoy nature the way you do.
Great history my friend, it goes along with the history of the area... Thank You!
I just gotta say " thank you man ! " you have showed me so many killer cool things. I am you in my alternate perfect life bro. Keep doin what you are doin. Love you man!
I love your videos and even when I'm waiting I go back and watch ones I've already watched, thanks to you im trying it for myself and found gold, the kids love the digging part too
Yeah, those are the one's that never get out and do for themselves and like to criticize others. Keep doing what your doing. The info and knowledge you share has helped me tremendously. Thank you Dan.
This is only the second one of your videos I've seen. Not only do you know what you're doing but why you are doing it and teaching along the way. Thank you for that.
I'm a Michigan prospector... No it's ok, we've got super fine and far between Placer gold. The slow pan, that had me thinking it was me pannin. If we don't pan that slow and slower, we loose those tiny pieces of skeeter poo out of our pan. Looks like you have your self an amazing world around you for a prospectors heart.
Look forward to watching many of your videos.
My Dad retired to panning gold. Also searched for Gem stones. My Dad died a number of years ago. It was nice to see what he was doing and learn something about. I also had his someone of his belongings from back then. The little container you used for gold around your neck. I found his so was nice to have that to remember him by. It is a pleasure to follow you. Good luck
Love this bloke his a legend , thanks heaps for the video's man so relaxing and fun to watch
Hey Dan! New subscriber...been binge watching your videos and having a great time doing so. You remind me of one of my best friends who has sadly passed away. You two look very similar with the straw hats exact beard and glasses and you both are very good and kind and know how to enjoy the little things in life. It's been a great pleasure and I look forward to watching you more
You are not an idiot! I wish you were my teacher when I was in school and even now.. I am in my 40s. I really enjoy your videos!
I love the videos. It's rather calming to see the mountains and hearing the streams. I'm from ID and live in TX... There are times that I miss home. Your videos help me with that 'home-sick' feeling. Keep up the good work Dan!
Thanks
Dan, good for you for giving that little lecture. I've watched enough of your videos to firmly believe you know EXACTLY what you're doing. Ignore these doubters and distractors - not worth a poor pan...

Love your videos Dan! I really appreciate just laying back on my couch and watching your videos and just relaxing to how comfortable you are on youtube. Thanks for sharing your experiences and I am slowly learning how to prospect in my own area.
Keep doing your thing my man! Love all the wisdom you have. Watching you, pauly and klesh always gets me excited to just get out there! All of you guys that chase passion is inspiring
I’m new to your channel, love your energy and content I’ve seen so far. I respect the process and the amount of time and effort it takes to do what you do. It’s truly amazing and beautiful
Right after your lecture "let's go have some more fun", I think that says it all. A guy can have fun even when he isn't finding what he is looking for.
I love your positivity, brother!
Dan you don't gotta explain your self, it is true sometimes we know the outcome but we need to test it. totally get it thank you for your knowledge my wife and i are taking on this hobby seems so peaceful !
Hi Dan, I love your show. You sir are a genius when it comes to panning. I love your adventures, very cool. I am 60 years old now and my knees are ka put. But my dad used to take me out to his old claim. It was a long walk in but we always had fun and there was always an abundance of gold. Thank you for sharing. Don't let the know-it-alls get to you. There are lots of people in this world that will always say they can do better. But I love your style. Take care, looking forward to your next adventure. Thank you, Kirby.
These people calling you names haven't went prospecting ever
Most viewers have never been prospecting but we enjoy the learning experience + relaxing river views & have more Self Respect than 2post screaming queen alcoholic/junkie abuse targeting one of the world’s Nicer Examples of Mankind...
Spend days striking out to hit a nice nugget and it all pays off ,saw a woman with a GB2 smoke 2 guys with GPZ 7000s was priceless last month .Its not the size or price of your "tool" its your knowledge of how to use it
Another awesome video Dan. Love the history as much as seeing gold.
You seem to be a very honest guy and I love watching you pan. Couldn't get much better. Great stuff! Penny G.
when Dan said “ its tiny but has some thickness” i felt that
Hey dan! Love watching your videos. Been watching for about a year now. There will always be haters and you handle it perfectly! Keep up the good work and great videos! Looking forward to the next one already! Your friend from Georgia!
Thanks! I've got to start ignoring the haters
I like watching Mr. Herd because he really tries to explain thing so you really lean something plus he's also entertaining .
At least you have that epic beard to help keep you warm!
I am certainly not someone who knows a lot about this stuff, but I think it’s pretty obvious that you know what you’re doing and put a ton of research and effort into it behind the scenes. You’re not just someone going out there because oooh, gold, let’s get rich quick! You’re definitely a pro with a lot of patience.
Rather than thinking you don’t know what you’re doing, I just think...he must have a reason for doing that-I need to find out what it is.
Some folks just can't help but to try to drag others down to their level.
Ignore the haters, I've learnt heaps from watching your videos and I'm an Aussie, I knew a bit about GOLD. Thanks for sharing your knowledge !!
I love watching this, because I've wanted to do this my whole life.
Really, you wanted to lie to people and tell them you found gold your whole life? Wow.
@@MAXUTTONpracticing what!? I was just saying I would like to do this someday in my life. Im not so fortunate lol
@@MAXUTTONpracticing how is he lying? lol
@@CGeis21 he puts the gold in before the camera cut. Does it for views and to get people to pay to go do “gold panning” on their gold claims when they all know damn well there ain’t no gold there
@@MAXUTTONpracticing ur such a smooth brain 🤦♂️. it's obvious that u have never tried prospecting yourself.
It’s the experience and oh the sound of the water, beautiful nature and fabulous clean air....on top of priceless you have gold. Omg it is heaven.
Dan enjoy the non-fluff of your hobby and work. Gold search is about the search not planted nuggets or programs that falsify the experience. Keep keeping on for yourself and our joy.
Love seeing what you do on these vids. Lots of interesting info - “gold” nuggets, if you will! Thank you! Keep it up!
14:08 this literally gave me anxiety he lost a nugget
No lost nuggets. In person you can tell the difference easily between gold and light colored rocks.
Nice, thank you for the videos they are really relaxing, I just found you yesterday 💯
Hey Dan ! I’m up here in northern New Hampshire! This area is not known for any amount of gold so to speak, but you keep me encouraged to keep trying and every tip you teach everyone helps get a little bit of color in the pan so thank you very much.
I love how entertaining Dan is. I also love his skill and method of education the rest of us.
He turned it into a teachable moment, true to form.
Thanks
@@Danhurd Looks like your panning was worth the time. Good gold. #Trump2020
Dan. You're awesome. Ignore the haters. They aren't worth your time. My wife and I watch your channel daily and we love learning from you. My favorite videos of yours talk about the mechanics of where to look, along with geological facts. Keep it up!
Never mind the haters out there. Always someone being an ass. I love watching you and learning as well
Debbie Schrader, i like the way you answered the critics.
Always always gotta be them Karen's that wanna be rude and nasty! I wish they'd go be nasty together!
I would love going out panning gold with this man.
This man is fantastic!!!! Hilarious, smart, his kids are great, love his videos and that he shows me the beautiful scenery and all the mountains and water......keep it up!!!!
PS.....Love the beard....big fan of the beard!!!! I loved it when my husband's was super long.
Dan, here in the southern State, Texas, we have a saying for certain types of people it’s Bless Your Heart.
We say the same in West Virginia, but we also mumble under our breather afterwards "Dumbass".....LOL!
We say How nice ( translates to northern as fuck you)
In Australia we just call them wankers. Just out loud. To their face. We're crass like that. No niceties or filters.
Texas that’s slang for go fuck yourself.
@@petermcdonnell5089 oh, fear not. Everyone in the Southern U.S. knows exactly what "Bless your heart" means.
I heard that if you stand on your head in the middle of the river and talk to the river nicely, she will open up the hidden vein full of 5 lb's worth of gold. You have to say Wilmer Chay 3 times as well, while under water that is. Least that's what the man at the hospital told me some years back.
You mean the psych ward?
The part where you mentioned the random hate comments even though you’ve done thousands of hours of research. Great delivery. Such a cool dude!
I'd never be insulting about the panning skills, but...lol...is it out of line to question the decision to skip out on the boy's tournament?
he probably goes to alot and highschool volleyball is really boring and sometimes the kids rather not have parents watch them so they can be comfortable with their friends
8:48 My wife says this to me all the time. Another great video!
hah hah!
Dan is like the Bob Ross of prospecting! Love your stuff!
Dan's out here like "blow me trolls."
Love it.
I can't believe people would say you're stupid for some of your testing.. pretty sure selling pieces of land at 100k plus because of testings like that makes you smart as hell.
Those keyboard jockies don't know left from right let alone about prospecting gold...
Ignore the trolls they only bring revenue to our channel.
Douglas March Envy breeds ugly.
If you're getting trolled on the internet, it's a sign of endearment. If no one trolls you, it means you're irrelevant
The information that you're giving is very valuable to me because I'm a newbie and I'm doing this old abandoned gold mine that's on the river and going through the sands It's been untouched for at least 30 years
Your beard is an exact camouflage to the shrubs as you walked by in the intro. You man lion you, lol.
I just found this but you seem like you got an amazing energy so I'm in new subscriber
Most people are jealous of your successes...just do you, brother! I am a beginner prospector and I have tripled my gold take from using what I learn from your videos! Keep up the videos, brother! Best wishes from Wyoming, U.S.!
THAT IS AMAZING! I JUST SAW THIS STUFF IN COMICS BUT IT'S REAL OMG
I need some dan skills, I tried to pan for gold in one of my waterfall videos and I just embarrassed myself. Maybe I need the hat
The hat helps, for sure!
Dan Hurd there’s a merch idea for ya!
@@JeremySmithOfNewScotland Good thought Jeremy. I'd like to have one.
The longer the beard the more the gold gods smile!
Nicholas Brown I have a beard, maybe a smerk from the gods
As always Dan, another fun video to watch. It makes me miss the great outdoors even more, but that is why I enjoy your videos. It is always pretty scenery and I learn something new each day. Thanks for doing what you do!
