    As a Dutch guy, and rock/mineral enthousiast, I just gotta say I'm quite jealous of the wonders a mountainous terrain can give you! It must be fantastic to have access to places like the Fraser. Even just all the different coloured pebbles you get in your pan are quite beautiful to me. We dont have anything that comes close to mountains/rivers like this here in the Netherlands!
    So much bright gold just brightens my day,
    Together with your positive energy ofcourse!
    Thanks for sharing this Dan, and keep it up!

    Dan, great video as always, I found an easy way to remove black sands from your pan and I'd like to share it. Take a small neodymium magnet in a plastic bag and roll it across the pan it will suck it up and look like a sea anemone put it into a secondary pan because some of the goods will pull in because of the force but it really seems to speed up the clean up process. Hope this is useful thanks for the video.

    • @SpaceyBrain
      @SpaceyBrain 15 днів тому +1

      I absolutely love this method. We have a lot of black sand here in Oregon, and my finer golds take forever to separate from it pan only.

    • @-dystopic-
      @-dystopic- 15 днів тому +1

      Mmmm I do this too, I don’t get much black sand where I’m at but this helps remove those last few pesky pieces!

    • @liquidrockaquatics3900
      @liquidrockaquatics3900 13 днів тому +2

      You could do the same thing with a pill bottle as well and let the magnet fall to the other side to get it to release the sand. If you got really fancy, you could attach a rod and ring to the magnet in a pill bottle and extend the rod through the bottle lid and attach the ring there, and the other side to the magnet. As you move the bottle through the sand, stuff sticks, then you pull the ring to retract the magnet and release the sand. Big floor magnets for picking up nails and screws use aluminum bodies with this method.

    @Dan Hurd Enjoying your videos. Something that you might not be aware of with old Lead. When Lead is mined - or exposed to the elements, it gives off a set amount of alpha radiation. The older that the Lead is, the lower it emits this alpha radiation. When they pull Lead ingots out of old ship wrecks, they will typically send some ingots for testing. If the Lead is old enough, the alpha radiation is low enough to be used in semi-conductors. This make the Lead much more valuable.

Seems like a very interesting subject with all the unknown information to some of us viewers. Thank you again for everything.

  • @liquidrockaquatics3900
    @liquidrockaquatics3900 13 днів тому

    So if a person were inclined, would stacking boulders at the edge of the river like riffles make them act as continuous gold traps similar to how the way the people that dive for gold with vacuum dredges operate? If it did work, it would only be easily accessible for a couple of weeks per year.
