You sure are a BLESSED man to have a God sent wife like Dayna! You for sure would not of been going home with all the blessings without her beside you. You need to take her every time you go. And bring the kiddos along to help carry. Also bring a good rope so you can draige the heavy stones out with the truck or a winch.... It's fun seeing you kids get blessed... BBE..
You can really tell there’s such wonderful chemistry between Dana and Dan. To find someone who genuinely enjoys the same things you do can’t be over stated.
I know it may look weird, but i swear it works...get yourself a 3-wheel all terrain stroller for moving your heavy stuff. Make sure it's got large wheels and a way to to lock in the front wheel so it doesn't swivel.
Love is telling your S/O to drink water when they’re having so much fun in their own little element that they forget ❤️ this channel is enjoyable to watch for more than just cool rocks and I love it!
All I can say about your content anymore is: I wish I could come work for you. The enjoyment that you have prospecting/panning/etc. is so enjoyable to watch. Especially when you have your family with you and they are enjoying it as much as you. Thank you showing us such amazing stuff!!
Loved Dana's comment that this was proof that Dan's heart is doing so much better. Glad to hear it! God bless you both, the boys, and the rest of your families! Thanks for the upload! Wow! Dana is a beast! You both are!! Getting that boulder into the bed of the truck! 😳 Edit: spelling....
Hi I grew up in Minnesota. Spent a lot of time in the UP, hunting and fishing and snow skiing. Actually lived in Algonac for a short while so big fan. God bless. Hope y’all are having a great day. Just thought I’d stop in.
You're always good value. Laughing, smiling and encouraging. The two of you make your video even better. I first saw your vids a week or so ago and subscribed off the bat. Brilliant information and very entertaining. Thank you.
Love this video you two. Dan and Dana you two are amazing working together to get those stones out. Next time, get those boys to join you, they would been able to carry all those rock an put into truck bed for you. Stay safe.
so many things.. first, it was great to hear dana say how good dans heart it doing. 2nd, lol dan... stop saying "this one will be easy!" 3rd, such great vid with you two... 4th take the shes a beast as a compliment. you're doing work... hard work.
I sure am glad those grasshoppers flew into the screen and you said something because for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why you had a sprinkler going 💦
Beautiful rock and lots of hard work but is definitely worth it. Love watching your channel. Just started rock hounding for a hobby. Getting my wife out sure enhances the experience. Thanks for all you do for our sport.
Hey Dan !!! Another beautiful video!!! Have been enjoying them for a few years!!! My back hurts watching you and Dana rolling the large rock uphill to the truck... Please go buy a small hand truck with 9 inch air tires, you can move a lot more rocks and even use it for the five gallon buckets!!! Keep up the beautiful work and enjoy the wonderful family!!! Bill
Dan - Maybe you could invest in some 6-wheeled sack trucks to get the biggest rocks out. The design is genius & even goes up stairs so should be able to cope with the sort of uneven terrain you work with.
Thanks for the awesome vid Dan. As a 29 year old. I would be dead tired after a day like you had. What a power couple. I hope I still have your energy one day
I do so enjoy watching your videos. Educational, entertaining and fun. It's nice to see the family involved. Super happy for you guys. Love the BC OPS. Maybe some day I'll be able to get a cab. Best wishes! Hugs from Texas.
Dan, have you done any videos that talk about how you started prospecting and how someone may be able to get into prospecting for themselves? If not I'd be interested to hear you talk about it. Also on a side note, have you ever seen guys use a .22 caliber blank cartridge to break large boulders apart? You just drill down a ways into it and drop the powder charge into it and tap it with a metal rod and hammer. The same way they shoot nails into concrete. It would be really good for breaking off large chunks of rock for your gemstones with very little effort. You wouldnt have to break your back and wear yourself out with all the hammering . I believe they call it microshaving you should check it out. There are videos on UA-cam
Damn the specimen you pulled out at 8:04 was Amazing! It looks very unique. It has more grey than the rusty orange, which gives it the appearance of a rocky bay on a foggy day. Great work!
You sure are a BLESSED man to have a God sent wife like Dayna! You for sure would not of been going home with all the blessings without her beside you. You need to take her every time you go.

Dan Hurd / and wife, just as always FANTASTIC!
Awesome to see husband and wife working together and having fun.
Awesome that you got that much Dan and Dana! You both worked your tails off.
You two are so cute! I love watching you two on screen together,
Dan you are the nicest person on this planet. I've been watching you for years.
These ocean pictures Stone videos are some of my favorite. Especially because it's always a family outing. 👍☮️💞
You can really tell there’s such wonderful chemistry between Dana and Dan. To find someone who genuinely enjoys the same things you do can’t be over stated.
My first reaction to the grasshopper sound was “They don’t seem too concerned about the snake” I’m so stupid.
So true. And we cannot deny that Dan is such a huge person with great sense of humor.
They might of slept together
@@1JesusChrist1 It's been rumored yes...
@@1JesusChrist1 Btw, it's impressive to come across the person with the youtube handle "Jesus Christ." No numbers or additional symbols either.
ok i could see why people would want that ocean picture stone, its so beautiful when polished!
You two make a great team and couple. ❤
Your family is great- your wife seems amazing- perfect helpmate for a dreamer.
It is lovely to see a family of rangas enjoying the bright outdoors.
I am glad you shown the finished product I like how it sets in a pendent very nice
Wow! Congratulations! It really pays to know your planet. I'm going over to your webite right now.
My jaw dropped when you two rolled over that rock @ 20:42 😱WOW ! !
Such great sounds when breaking off the picture stone 😊
Dana and Dan. With a master plan! 👍
I love watching your Ocean Picture Stone videos. They're so satisfying.
❤❤❤same
Yay coffee and a new Dan Hurd video in the mornin
The pings make lovely musical notes. Dan, you may have just invented " The Feathering Wedge Piano !"
I hereby give ALL credit for today's successes to Dana.
Amazing that this is the only place in the world for this stone!!!!
Danny Boy, I think you're one of the best
I love my specimen, slab, and chip bag of BC ocean picture stone!! Always great to see what you pull out of the ground! BEAUTIFUL!!!
I know it may look weird, but i swear it works...get yourself a 3-wheel all terrain stroller for moving your heavy stuff. Make sure it's got large wheels and a way to to lock in the front wheel so it doesn't swivel.
I mentioned using a barrel sled. pretty cheap and much easier than rolling a rock uphill! literally
@@ahealthierkirk2558 2 logs and some straps. Put both logs on your shoulders front and back of the rock and lift it up and walk it out.
I agree. I would have suggested a furniture trolley, but an all-terrain stroller sounds much better!
Oh man that’s a clever idea!
@Chris Larson What brand is yours?
Love to watch your enthusiasm.
I will never get bored of watching you dig for Ocean Picture Stone... So beautiful. Love to you and your family, from the UK 🇬🇧 💕💕💕

It's his channel.
@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 Dan had a heart attack while working a claim
I agree! I hope there are many many more years to come with Dan and his healthy heart!
👍👍👍❤️❤️
I wish he would still slow down a bit more..
Makes me nervous..
You two make me smile! Thanks
Right on Dan, glad to see the 15 years of UA-cam paying off for you. Hope everything goes awesome for you!
Abdul El-Sayed Biden and Bernie Sanders

Spectacular colors and patterns - WOW!!! 🥰
Some of those pieces are extra gorgeous!!!!!!!
Gorgeous stones.
Really enjoyed listening to the "featherandwedge'ophone" in this episode.
I think I have binge watched 5 hours of this channel today 😁
The ocean picture stones are amazing Dan⛏🏴
Man did the pickup squat with that one rock.
Amazing pattern looks like a picture of the sky and clouds above the earth beautifully in a pendant.
Great break!!! Those feather and wedges work very good.
I sure am glad those grasshoppers flew into the screen and you said something because for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why you had a sprinkler going 💦
Something satisfying about the sounds of hitting the wedges.
I love that Honda. I have the exact model. Inverter/battery charger.👍🤣🤣
Beautiful rock and lots of hard work but is definitely worth it. Love watching your channel. Just started rock hounding for a hobby. Getting my wife out sure enhances the experience. Thanks for all you do for our sport.
Dana never stops. You two make a great team.
This is pure joy ... I'm beginning to take interest in rock hounding .. thanks to you Dan!
AMAZING PICTURE STONE ROCK!

You gotta love dan hurd..
I can see why you have more than a million followers, your a character Dan!
WOWZERS!!! Thanks for sharing Dan & Dayna!
That mud is what rock is made from ! It was hoping for a long term home. 🙂

Beautiful pieces Dan, can't wait to see more.
OMGsh!! That iceburg looks like a mountain range. Beautiful!!!
Im happy to see Dan get an actual big payoff from his hobby.
You can find the same blue stones at the Hope slide on the slope as many as you can carry.
@@MrDuffy81 Yeah it's not and it's not very rare either, no where near the evaluation dan gives in the video.
Good day .. what is this Gem aquamarine?
I do so enjoy watching your videos. Educational, entertaining and fun. It's nice to see the family involved. Super happy for you guys. Love the BC OPS. Maybe some day I'll be able to get a cab. Best wishes! Hugs from Texas.
