Why are there Garnets Everywhere on this Beach! *New Adventure 2024*

- Panning for gemstones - Many Gemstones are heavy just like gold, so you can pan for gemstones just like you pan for gold. However, they are ot as heavy, and more difficult to pan. That is typically why we use a gem sieve rather than a gold pan for gemstones. In this case all I had was the gold pan, and we needed some garnets for our webstore, so today I am panning for garnets! And also checking out a new claim.

Those Garnets look like fish roe
I thought caviar from the thumbnail myself 😂
They're really much smaller.
It would be really cool to have an aquarium full of garnets on the bottom!
An aquarium with gurnets swimming in it.
As a gemstone collector and a fish lover now I want to price this for one of my smaller tanks.
🤩🤩🤩 YES!
Good news it is very easy to do this, I went to a store in my area that sells garnet sand for sandblasting and found some that is very red and beautiful for a good price. I was able to get 50lbs for under 100$. I will be putting a tank together today with no fish or plants for testing just to see what it does with the PH balance and more, If anyone wants the feedback on this I will post the results here.
I bought many amethyst, blue topaz, lapis, aventurine and pink quartz 36” bead strings from the jewelry district downtown for $80. I soaked and stirred them in tap water before placing in my aquarium. I then bought some larger pieces of amethyst to place in the aquarium and the Clown Loaches loves to play with them by moving them around like balls.
Nice! When I was a teenager living in Pr. Rupert, my dad brought home a whole pile of garnets he found while collecting oysters on the beach. He got me interested in rock collecting, finding agates near Monte Lake. All your videos are so educational and enjoyable.
Hiya Dan and thanks from Ontario. Seeing all those garnets just prompted me to thaw out some roe for fishing tonight👍
Have fun
I’m on the way to the Japanese grocery to get Masago!! On a bagel with cream cheese!
Excellent comment! As a child and young adult I did a bit of fishing, mostly pond and riverbank. Now I have lived in Washington state, USA for many years and have never fished here. I am hoping to learn enough to go lake fishing this summer. I have never used roe, mostly just red wiggler worms.
@@lilolmecj Stream fishing is more fun (in my opinion). Some of the small creeks have some big fish. I used to go to the pet food store and get a bunch of crickets. I'd get up to the creek I wanted to fish and bring a pole or just some line and hooks, no weights. I'd cut a willow pole about 8 to 10 feet long and tie about twelve feet of line with a hook at the end. You get above a hole that looks good and float A cricket down into the hole and you don't want to let your shadow hit the water. When your cricket gets to the hole if he's paying attention, the boss fish will be the first to hit it and they hit hard. Then you go down to the next hole.
I understand that this is kinda primitive way to fish, but its fun and it presents the bait to the fish in a more natural way. In some areas the fish are skittish and won't hit anything, but they'll hit this way.
Anyway, have fun and I hope you might try my way. BTW, my way is legal in Washington state. Good luck
I'm profoundly rock n mineral obsessed and can't go anywhere without bringing A rock back!
Me too , doing it 64 years now...the rocks are smaller now , I have no room left !
Same, but over the years I now have a routine of putting the good ones back, or moving them into an area where small kids are, spreading the love of rock hounding to another lifetime, another generation. I recently downsized, and now carry the core specimens from a lifetime collection, gave away the rest. I plan to rock hound for the rest of my life, just not room in the rv to keep everything anymore 😂
@@Seahorse1414 hahaha. my hubby put me on rock restriction after our last move lol (but I still grab one or two smaller-fist sized- now and then :-)
We used to find tons of almandine garnets while gold panning in Vermont. I used to save all the big ones but stopped after accumulating a gallon freezer bag full. Some of them were pretty big, nearing walnut sized. Same as in your area though, all the big ones were so dark they looked black. The tiny ones and fragments were a great red color though. Those hardrock specimens you got at the end are awesome!
I think I have clear and yellowish clear garnets in my brook in Vermont. Tiny like half a rice.
I just got done panning out some garnet sand from the Baltic sea and I absolutely love how it turned out. The material from the area typically doesn't have too many bigger garnets in there but that doesn't bother me too much. Cool thing about the sand from there is that there are (small) chances of gold, platinum and other gems like zirconia to be found there.
Also, this was actually the first time I've ever successfully panned something! I've tried before once but didn't know at all what I was doing. After watching your videos for a while, looking closely at what you're doing while you're panning and thinking a littl about the theory behind it, it finally worked for me!

Thanks Dan! You answered one of the questions I email you about a while back. I wasn't sure how the different claim types worked and you answered that.
Glad to help!
Very happy you get to spend so much time out in nature! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Your awesome Dan Hurd. Love how your so knowledgeable in Gold/Gems and Geology. Love ❤️ your videos
Good afternoon from Ireland 🇮🇪
Good morniing
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks, Dan for everything you do.
theres a beach near me called ruby bay, its an ancient vent for the dead volcano edinburgh castle sits on. you can find garnets if you look hard enough
I think I’ve seen a vid abt searching for gems there- was on a channel abt a mother daughter duo that go gem/fossil hunting & picking thru Victorian-ish era trash dump, usually… their vids look really fun. Lots of things to find in that area!
IIRC(?) they’re called the northern mudlarks
bonjour from Québec ......every Time is a masterpiece.......24 min its not enough✌️👌
Gorgeous spring day 😊
Garnet is my birthstone! I just discovered your channel and subscribed fast; I love your energy! I live in the PNW and have always been fascinated by nature; it’s always nice to find someone sharing knowledge while doing what they’re passionate about!
Those are beautiful garnets! Thanks for sharing Dan!
You work hard for sure, Mr. Dan and I have really loved the adventure.
You had me at 'prospecting, panning and metal detecting'. These are just some of my hobbies !
All the best Dan I hope you and your family are doing brilliantly.
Garnets vary depending on the quality. A 1-carat garnet with inclusions could cost around $500 while a cleaner garnet with a more rare colour could cost between $2,000 and $7,000 per carat. More rare garnets, like demantoid and tsavorite, will cost more.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
🙏💕 Love it 🙏Blessings Hurd Family🙏
As a biologist, I kind of approve of those rules for taking material out. That does seem like it would protect the river from the more unscrupulous greedy people.
That said, I'm also one culprit for your depleting garnet supply. I think I should get my order in just a day or two. Cheers from Finland! (We also have garnets here, but I just loved the look of yours.) :D
Fellow British Columbian; this is fascinating! Glad I found your channel.❤
The Mtn Man in me sees a lifetime supply of firewood : ) The specimens are so cool.
Interesting, but on my parents' property on Eagle Creek in Oregon. I strangely enough get more big gold flakes mixed with green garnets. I almost thought they were peridot but I took them into a jeweler and they told me it was a garnet. But they seem to be the same color as a Peridot.🤷♂️✌👌
Dan,thank you for sharing the difference between mines.I didn't know,and live in Gold country.I want to find rocks in our creeks,not gold,so this helps me in talking with the local companies that have claims on the river.I hope they will let me get the tiny amount of rocks that I am interested in.
Great video keep up the good work, love the gem episodes!!! and Jade!
😮 i found you, my rock hound family 👪 I am just gonna settle in and stay, I'll be quiet, watch,listen and learn. Liked and subbed 💙
I really appreciate you detailing what the rules are and how you're following them - I often worry when buying a gem how much natural beauty may be being destroyed to find it, and I know if I buy from you exactly how it was harvested and that you're doing what you can to preserve the beauty around you as well.
Nifty video. The still shots were so cool. Thank you for sharing. ✨✨✨
Great video Dan keep up the great work from norhtern Alberta in the great Peace River area.
love you videos. Always fascinating to watch.
Only place I've ever been where you could literally scoop up small garnets was near Mount Frosty mine, Mount Isa, Queensland. Garnets were embedded in schist host rock along with Staurolite crystals. We used to look for the crossed crystals (Maltese crosses) and multiply crossed crystals (Fairy cartwheels) there. Almost all the small garnet crystals were perfectly formed. Never found any larger than 2mm in diameter though. There were supposedly other nearby areas where larger garnets could be found but the country was truly rugged and only way in was trekking miles on foot in a very arid environment.
Awesome! Thanks Dan I found many tiny Garnets up north here One island lake no gold 🤣
Great vid. Thanks Dan 👍
some stunning views, again, many thanks for your vid to drag me out of the office, at least in my mind
Wow, that gadget of yours is genius! So simple, so clever!
My birthstone is Garnet and I think it would be awesome to be able to pan for some. Of course that is impossible here in Texas. Thank you for sharing Dan ❤
I am a Displaced Texan living in WA. Want me to send you some garnets sand? They are tiny but plentiful here.
😎👍
Well said Dan
Getting your own claim can be tough as well
But depending on where you are 👍
Hello from Michigan. Moved here from the lower mainland of BC. Love watching your content. All of it.😊
Awesome! Thank you!
We all love you Dan!
Love you💖 and your videos!! Beautiful garnets!! Those were my Moms gemstone! Thanks for sharing your time!!😀😀😍😘💐💐🌈🌈🙏🕊🍀🍀
Glad you like them!
👋🏼
that was interesting!
thanks again for bringing us all along!
👍🏻
You are welcome
❤❤❤I love how educational these are❤❤❤
А я про красную икру подумала. Цвет подходящий. Сразу захотелось куда-нибудь на Урал за золотишком с этим чудо-устройством съездить
Thank you for sharing
I love the videos from this claim!!
I have always loved your garnet videos, it's awesome to see you panning for these . I have panned out garnets for few years now.
I did craft a sieve but, unfortunately there are no known localities for any gemstones in Estonia, so everytime I go prospecting, I'm kind a looking for everything.
Oh I wish I'd find a spot where garnets are laying around like caviar, not hiding in rivers, and inside tough mica shist/quartz kind of matrixes:D .
I craft jewelry like you mention 06:30(inlay rings, epoxy and glow powders) - I took it as a mission to find craft worthy materials here in Estonia. I knew it's not an easy task but learning from the best ;P, I have had a more interesting journey that I did expect. No gold yet but calcite, all kinds of quartz, garnets and pyrite everywhere. Not giving up on gold either, one day, I'll find just a single spec to prove them all wrong :D
They make me think of Caviar .
Very beautiful my friend.
I'm down the line from you, Upper Northern California along the Sacramento River - we've been finding some good sized, beautiful garnets and other gems!!
Thank you Dan and Team. From the UK
You are welcome
I like yr silhouette declaration!
The spiral bowl reminded me of going to the dentist years ago.... 😁 Beautiful colors in those garnets--- liked seeing this video. Still love the gold, but garnets are just beautiful.
Ruby Creek west of Hope B.C. was always a great producing garnet spot for me
Hey dan nice vidio agin from you ❤ we want to se more 😮 love from denmark 🇩🇰😁
You and Jason make great videos
Hi from the UK Dan. Love your videos.
That's wonderful!
harts range in australia has a creek that is blood red from the sugar garnets.
That's like panning here in north Idaho along the St. Joe river and St. Maries rivers(where Buzzard Massie got started). I think I could support the sandpaper business in an afternoon....lol
That's beautiful country
Lindas dimais as pedras....Parabéns...sou a AIDA do Brasil....amo pedras de Rio....tenho uma pequena coleção.....Boa sorte amigo sempre
Love your videos Dan.
Pfeiffer Beach in California is known for its purple sand due to the concentration of garnets. I'm going to get there one of these days!
Im a rockhound and love geology....
It is sort of why i love living around volcanic areas...there so much to see and get into geology wise..
Have you done a video to tell how garnets are made and formed??
You may have, i dont recall, seen a whole lot of videos.
Good morning from Texas
Morning!
Little oh me want same .
I'll put them in my tinny jars that I put crystals in.
Your going to give me some of the best gift of this year I swear, if it happens . I live in ky
I have a crystal garden and having them will be a pulse
I live on two acres of garnets and mica with a creek full of them. Mostly small, but some large ones on land next door up to an inch and a quarter in diameter. I have a tube full of them. Was a large mica mine next door that belonged to Sangamo Electric CO. I did know where there was a mine full of green garnets on Eastatoee River in Pickens County, SC.
nice very informative for us in bc
very cool information about mineral and placer
I have a demon head shaped bottle I bought at Halloween last year, and every time I see one of Dan's garnet videos, I think about how cool that bottle would look filed with garnet sand. Or gemstone sand of any kind.
Thank You!! I love Your videos!!
Thanks!
That garnet beach looked like good fishing too. If its not on first nations land you should bring your dad. A garnet and fishing video? Perfect!
Interesting. First time seeing anything like this.
Thank you Dan for sharing this enjoyable video with us six stars sir
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job sir
AWESOME THANKS 4 VIDEO!
I think it would be awesome to have a fish tank bottom with pure garnet sand
I am working on that as we speak!
19:11 Oh. My. Dogness! 🐕Beautiful.🎉
Dan you make me want to do this and make my day better
Really big, really gemmy. I never thought I'd get excited by a bunch of rocks lol.
You're a real good noodle, abiding by the don't take dirt law. Some people would be wondering just howwwww much they can push it lmao
Thank you Dan
You are welcome
garnet hunting on my b day.. cool... i'd like to be there. but... oh well. have too much fun for both of us.
Hi Dan, would you tell Jason from MBMMLLC. To be careful of Sasquatch when he walks alone in the woods. The knocking he heard was most likely one.
Amazing vidio.. very inspiring and useful.. good luck🇮🇩😍👍👍
Thanks
Amazing finds👁👁
Was watching Dan since 18k subs.
That's awesome
Imagine these in a shaker locket! 🥰
It would be cool to have a fish tank with nothing but garnets in the bottom! That would be beautiful! 💎
Great video as always Dan.
Glad you enjoyed it
Danny, the garnetblaster!
They are awfully small. Just like the garnet sands where I found gold in lower Michigan. I found some large ones in the UP but not good colors.
Reminds me of your Hawaii experience. 👍😉
It does!
@@Danhurd 😊
Great video
I do some panning in Montana and find a ton of garnets
