I found GOLD in an ILLEGAL ground sluice!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2021
- I discovered by accident a VERY OLD illegal ground sluice someone build right into the river bed on my Dream Claim. I am not allowed to leave it in place but I am allowed to check out what it captured as I remove it and keep my claim in good standings with the claim inspectors. Check out what gold I found!
BC Mining law says you can not modify the creak bed in ay way. I know my inspectors watch my videos and check my claims so to keep from getting untroubled for this ground sluice I will be removing it.

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.
#goldpanning #thefinders #findinggold
Dan is a reincarnation of himself from a past life when he installed the sluice box so he could come back as Dan Hurd and rediscover his installation.
Nah... previous life Dan is a grizzled old sourdough that "don't need any of this high falootin' city slickin' fancy pants stuff, by tarnation"
A mule, a pan, and pick n' shovel would've been his tools... oh, and a fabulous floppy hat, mustn't forget a hat.
Could be! Haha!
lol
Hmmm how can I sluice this river. I know, I'll just install a sluice in a past life before the regulations exist!
Yeah, that astroturf under the grid isn't that old. Not sure how old Dan is but my guess is this sluice was placed within the last 30 years if not more recent.
We all have a friend like Dan. He's a highly intelligent man with tons of natural curiosity, and a SORE BACK!
And sore knees!
All Dan's are fairly intelligent with natural curiosity lol. And most definitely sore joints from said curiosity
I am that friend in my group and I must say my life is fulfilling. ❤️
Quit bustin his cheeks then!
I'm that friend
Plot twist: Dan has been illegally using this sluice for decades and needed to remove it for an upgrade.
He's like the Bob Ross of the prospecting world and it makes me so happy in my soul.
you are right. and mine tooo!
Me to he’s so cool to
We don't make mistakes, just happy finds!
🥳
Good day Dan! You have brought me a lot of joy through your gold panning adventures. I have recently moved to B.C. form Colorado. This place is magical! My wife just got me a gold panning kit so I can explore this beautiful landscape. I am heading to the cayoosh panning reserve today my very first pan! I want to thank you for inspiring me to get out and have some fun! Maybe one day I could join you on an expedition so I can learn from a grand Master prospector. I look forward to seeing all your future videos thank you again for all the tips and wisdom you share with all of us with the fever!
I expect it to be full to be honest! What else can one do but dream that it's full? It's OLD, it's in the right spot, and it's a SLUICE. It just HAS to be full!
Ah, today will take forever to pass!
well he mentioned that it seemed someone had already been there before, so maybe it was full, but someone grabbed it all then just left it there in the hopes it would refill
@@MrGoesBoom by the looks of the bolt, no, maybe in the bottom, but then also not very recently, at least some years.
Also, it was fairly clogged up and covered for a long time, too so a lot of the more "recent" runoff probably mostly washed over the whole mess. But I guess we'll find out in a day or so when he's done editing it all and posting (as he noted, he didn't post this until all the clean up work was done; this was all activity from several weeks ago).
Just like to take a moment to say how much I appreciate how beautiful that piece of river is, thank you for sharing!
New watcher. I’m absolutely fascinated by mining. As someone previously said he’s an old soul in a new era….but still mining old school. I have never done this but looks fun…hard work. Thanks Dan!!
The idea of claim jumpers sticks in my craw. I use cellular cameras on my property and I had one neighbor up the road who persistently liked to snoop despite being politely asked to not tresspass. Eventually what made him stop was me posting enlarged photos of him labeled tresspasser up and down the road. All of my neighbors except for him liked it and he has not been back!
That was a brilliant idea!
Haha that's great
@@johnfran3218 you talk as if you were actually there. Do you realize how big the universe actually is and if you do and you still believe the bullshit from the Bible or any other religion then you need to be in a insane asylum because there is no way that a single person is responsible for the universe existing it just is and it doesn't need to be explained and I came to here to see gold prospecting not to hear or read your crazy rants

Thank UA-cam algorithm, thanks for making me interested in gold prospecting
Man you don't even know what you've stumbled on. This guy. Dan is great. Funny, good content. Not begging for subscribers.
Hope you got a good amount of time. He doesn't have a bad video. Hope you enjoy all of his old videos too.
This is part of my Sundays.
I 2nd what @matthew said.
Auto play after Joe Rogan podcast.
Right
Until this day i never think that UA-cam Prospectors was an actual thing. i usually just get rust restoring videos on my recomendations
This man's spirit is beyond beautiful! Didn't have to convince me to sub. As an explorer/adventurer I can truly appreciate this soul 👏
Its a pleasure watching you prospecting. You always make me smile with your pleasant deminor and happy go lucky attitude. Love from Ireland.
The relentless torrent of the river and volume of water passing by every minute is amazing to watch. Nature is very humbling once you grasp what it can do.
Built the Grand Canyon. Ground rising up, river rushing down. We're all just little specks on the surface. Like Dan's "pickers" or flakes.
As humbling as it is we can destroy that so the river better feel humble
great to see a man enjoying his pass time. The simple joy on your face with each discovery makes me smile. Thank you Sir :)
I would have loved kayaking that river back when I was paddling. Looks like a blast and with higher water could be some good rapids. The blue water is unreal. Your enthusiasm made my day. What a great hobby. I hope you find the mother lode.
Woah you can see the amount of scrapping that picker has taken over the yard from all the debris passing by!
That’s phenomenal and shows that gold will stay trapped even if things scraped past it at one point or another.

The inspectors must love you so much. Easiest audit in mining history, because everything you do is evidenced on video.
How do you know he didn't chuck a 6-pack of dynamite in the river after he turned the camera off?
@@davefish2280 Throwing dynamite in the river? That doesn't even make sense.
@@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zx have to seen the world lately? 😂
@@smith69gers If you mean there are people that just like to destroy things, yes there are some people like that, but most are not
I dont even know how this is a part of my vids suggestions but heck I'm glad it popped up. This is soo interesting! Got myself binging your videos good sir! Thank you!
That river is beautiful! I live in AZ and miss that kind of nature. You’re a lucky man. 🍀
This was my first time watching, I was impressed on how hard you worked after a open heart surgery. Plus you were a likable guy. I will be back to watch again.
He has indeed earned your subscription today!
Same
I don't care much about gold but I would be thrilled to fish this spot! Solitude is highly under rated.
I used to fish, Gold smells much better!
Worm guts coating both of your hands from rebating 200+ hooks. The worm guts dry, and you have a worm gut glove you can literally almost peel off in one piece. And does it smell the whole. Later, you wear real glove and bring a gallon of water and a pan to scrub your hands free of worm gut juice. You catch 2 brim and 12 crappie fish in 7 years, then lose interest.
Till ya hear dan yelling wooooohooooooo! Lol!
@@weatherphobia clearly you aren’t the best fisherman. But at least you can say you tried.
@Nils Laven says everyone as I'm setting my hook in a fishes face.
When he time lapses throwing the rocks at first it looks like he just launches them to the stratosphere. Its his ultimate technique
WOW!!! Now I just GOTTA WATCH part 2. How could I miss that? Love your enthusiasm Buddy. Great video!!! 👍🙂
I love a fast moving moutain stream. The sound, the smell, the fresh moist air, waterfalls, all of it. It rejuvinates my soul. I am far from gold country, but the videos of the streams and rivers is half the reason I am here.
It produces negative ions , in large amounts . Same with himilayan salt lamp. Makes you feel good. Same with the ocean.
Salt lamps are a ridiculous gimmick, which do nothing but light up a dark space.
Rivers and rain on the other hand, do that for sure. I grew up in the Smokey Mountains of East Tennessee, lots of rivers and falls. No gold though, I've looked.
Which country are you from
@@ingolorenzo4158 ?
a vaguely remember reading that a possiable origin of the golden fleece from greek mythology was putting rough wool in creeks known to contain gold in run off
For boulders i use a portable hammer- drill and 1/2' mason bit to insert expansion bolts where i can use extra heavy duty comealong. On really large boulders i put an achor bolt in each side and use two comealongs to walk the boulder, including upstream as needed. Of course one has to anchor to a larger boulder or one that is buried. I've moved boulders 4' (1-1/3 meters) wide X 3' (1 meter) upstream by myself in just a short time. Heavy chains with link hooks makes for minimal comelaong rehook time.
You are so much fun to watch. Thanks for all the helpful hints.
The mystery is fun but the beauty of the river is overwhelming.
Just a year ago he had a heart op and now he´s moving rocks. Great recover, stay fine pls :) (As always an amazing video! Ty)
I could sit there all day listening to the water like that. So peaceful.
Love his use of language to describe the changes of landscape from year to year. "Dynamic"
So glad to hear that you released this video after you were already finished cleaning out the top section. While watching, I was worried that the claim jumpers would come in and ruin the next part of your awesome discovery!
Dan is a absolute legend. I'm not even into prospecting or mining but I watch Dan's videos. I think it's his personality.
I was thinking the same thing
What a cheerful guy you are thank you so much For making my day better
I love watching your channel. You always look like you are having such a great time!
Since you already slipped I recommend you cut the rest of the bolt off so it’s flush to the bottom! That could be a really bad injury!
For sure this. I would not want a 13 mil sized hole two inches deep in my back/body in the wilderness.
nothing says fucked like a rusty spike in the foot
@YoungRe3hunnid what the hell is that suppose to mean
Looking forward to part 2. This was interesting on how different things are from now back to when ever that sluice was installed.
Congratulations on living a dream. I hope someday more of us get a chance to experience that feeling. Excellent videos also.
Your energy makes me smile.. I wish you the best of health and wealth 😊😀
I'm sure someone has mentioned it before, if not, to free up one hand from holding your camera, get a head mount camera holder, It will video all that you look at, and give you two hands to work.
Thank you for your great videos.
he's a prospector, not a metropolitan showpony lol
@@mpf_agundipsht3619 You don't have to be a "metropolitan showpony" to make filming yourself easier lol
@@mpf_agundipsht3619 well why do you think he has this channel then?
Have you not realised that means you can’t see him 😂😂
@@lenard3935 he obviously meant for shots that he takes when holding the camera in one hand and doing something with the other. When he has the camera recording himself he has two free hands lmfao
It will be really interesting to see what's left caught in those grates. Can't wait for part 2.
Part2 ? When
The sound of GoldMonster is how the pinpointer mode of Gofind directed conected... Congratulations of Brazil for your job.
It is so calming to hear the water running! I find a lot of gold flake here in Colorado, but no huge nuggets. Very jealous, lol.
I have two two minute long creek videos on my channel go listen to them.
No
@@danielayala7789 i wasn't talking to you lol.
Where in colorado? I'm from loveland.
@@zacharykgwin I'm in vail
Looks like mercury amalgam on those weird nuggets. Wouldn't surprise me. That's one of the main ways the old timers would process gold quickly. Great find!
I once heard someone say that them working with mercury is the explanation for why so many prospector characters in fiction are depicted as crazy. Heavy metal poisoning can make one act strangely, and over time acting strangely and prospecting became associated with oneanother.
@@colim2595 but also being isolated for long periods of time makes people strange.
@@colim2595 I wouldn't be surprised if the solitude wouldn't cause people to develop strange habits or cause them to frequently talk to themselves
Was thinking the same mate see it lots in aus
Those look like the quartz matriz gold usually appears with.
First video watching him and he earned my subscription literally 30 seconds in when he first started talking 😂❤️
That was fun Dan, you definitely earned some new subscribers. I'm praying for ya ❤👍💎
Found these types of riffles up on the Germanson ,made of wood or metal, they would place them at the bottom of the river bank ,maybe there was a bit of a draw at the top and then start hydraulicing the bank away towards the sluice. Great information on the history of mining .
In my mining district in Oregon when we find gold with the white in them , it ended up being mercury! They were using sluce’s in the creek and would dump mercury in them to recover the gold out of them . My guess is quite possible that’s what was going on there !
Yes sir, I've seen that to! I've even found copper plates instead of carpet, in small sections usually lower in the sluice to try and catch smaller pieces. They would from time to time pull them scrape off the amalgamated mercury and add more to it because some alway washed off. They didn't know or care about the dangers of mercury just wanted that yellow suff! The Chinese used copper plates alot to, you could always tell where they mined because they stacked rocks perfectly to make walkways and walls. And found alot of gold after the miners moved on. They got jealous of the Chinese! Alot were murdered and robbed! Sad what happened back then.
That was my thought also.
Aresnic will also cause this to happen.
@@patdexter9188 There are pictures floating around on the internet of them using dust pans to scoop up the amalgamation out of them , one guy holding one up for a picture big smile on his face wile standing in it and Mercury running down his arms ! Crazy times that’s for sure .
We run into that all the time all over nevada. And chunks of leather they used to squeeze the excess mercury out with. Some creeks are so high still in mercury you can only eat on or two a year. And when you clean out your dredge it will be full to. Alot died from that stuff!
Given this is Canadia, I am surprised YOU weren't fined for finding this on you claim.
Dan: "See it's all corroded and old"
Imperial Canadia Official: "Is this on your claim, yes or no?"
Dan: "Well.... yeah, bu..."
Imperial Canadia Official: "You are guilty of having an illegal ground sluice on your claim. How would you like to pay your fine?"
Mfs be like that sometimes... it's ridiculous
I find your videos and your relaxed and cheerful style absolutely soporific and compulsive viewing . It’s great to be able to make some money on the side whilst following your hobby . Fantastic my friend 👍🏴
watching your videos recently been giving me comfort. my dad wanted to do this again before he passed earlier this year but wasnt able to. I really want to do this to try to channel his energy somehow. or just let him feel like a part of him did. i wish he got to do this. it breaks my heart
Dan you S-O-Gun, you are a comical character and you bring the grin in me, keep making these videos, you get a thumbs up from me!
My dad would have loved you, makes me happy to watch your videos & see why dad & his buddies loved panning
Hi Dan!
At 6:20 min, if you have such old rosty things to take apart, it's good if you take a hammer (no chemicals because of the river) and hit it around the edges to loosen it from the concrete and break the rost of the years!
You always lift me up when I watch your videos Dan! Thanks.
The ground sleuce discovery is so exciting! Hope you’ll be able to get all the way to the end of it..👍👍👍
Hi Dan. You certainly did earn my subscription. 1st time view of you channel and I was impressed by your enthusiasm.
When I was in high school in the late 70's our high school science teacher was into all kinds of things. He told us about a creek nearby (in Pennsylvania) where he would set up a box of some kind and put it in the creek. He said about once a year he would take the box out and then extract whatever he would get. He claimed he would get about an ounce of gold each year.
I stumbled across a site that pans for gold in Pa. and it brought back memories of high school. I know the name of the creek, but I just did it for more of satisfying an interest.
It used to be that sheepskins we're putting rivers to catch gold and then they were burned and the gold melted. Thus the story of the Golden fleece could have been based on reality.
Wow that is so interesting.👍
and wolf skins , with a finer coat , and wolves have a couple of different layers of finer hair underneath , i’ve read a couple of books that recite this happening in siberia and some other baltic countries
The fact that he says "earn your subscription" made me subscribe what a savage🤟
Exactly. Me too
Same. First time watching him. Heard him say that and I was like “ yep “ lol
Same! Love the enthusiasm
Ditto!
Thank you for taking the time to share this all with us!! I was thinking if you need help, make a contest or giveaway or something where people can experience a "tour" of your mine. In the process you'll get their help in moving some of the bigger pieces... just a thought. Anyway - keep up the good work!
Boooooo you boooooooo
Hunting for cool rocks is my familys fun thing to do. I'm thrilled to fun you. I'm learning alot. Happy Hunting, and thank you for sharing your fun, knowledge. I've never heard of ocean stone before, its gorgeous. God Bless
I would investigate the run where the ground sluice was placed. Most likely that was in a gold run/pay streak.
Agree!
You earned my respect sir. Such hard work! You are truly amazing in your adventurous life! My body is trashed after a career in nursing and other hard labor jobs. So my disabled self lives vicariously in my home/bed through all the many youtubers I enjoy watching do so many things good for mankind and our earth.
"I found Washer ! Big nugget of ironnn" made me smile lol! Love the enthusiasm
You earned my subscription. Just couldn’t resist after a few videos 😊
G'Day from Western Australia 🙂 I already have a bit of the gold fever for mining stock and our lovely Perth Mint gold coins, but damn, watching you channel makes me want to head bush with a good detector and have a good look for some nuggets. If only we had such beautiful scenery, its mostly dry desert, sand flies, and sun burn where I'd be looking. Love your work, 👍
The Goldfields and the gold country around Halls Creek is very scenic. The Aussie outback is a different environment from this, but still worth spending some time in!
Dan,
Thanks for getting part 1 posted so quickly. Great finds. I'm anxiously awaiting for part 2.
Go get a couple pry bars and some muscle men to move those big boulders.
Wow, gold, take care Dan, thanks for sharing.
you earned my subscription tdy!! your positive energy is inspiring
This is one of the most intriguing finds I've seen. I don't even care if it produces very much. I just think its cool and you are dedicated to finding out.
Hey Dan! Great project - thanks for letting us tag along! Looking forward to part 2. One benefit of your fall in the creek: you didn’t have to worry about getting your feet wet after that! Hope your posterior is fully recovered! 😄👍
ive never had the patients to do this...its a lot of work for just so little....yeah there are big pay days, and a little bit is still worth a fair amount. i guess its a perception thing. i have a lot of respect for people that can do this.
You are awesome . the wittyness is great . keep up the good work . earned me sub
The day that Dan was the first man to find gold mold.
What a neat thing to find! I can imagine how rare it is to find an old sluice that has been trapping gold for decades!
Hi from Tennessee. That looks like so much fun. By the way that river is so very beautiful. It reminds me of the little pigeon river in the Smokey Mountains.
Man O' Man Dan you can certainly move rocks fast !!! Thanks for cleaning that carpet out of that "wonderful River" Dan....
Awww Dan I hope your butt and back are okay after falling in the river!! I worry about you going out all alone what if when you fell you broke your leg and were stuck there!! You should have either someone helping you film or looking for gold just so nothing happens!! I love your videos and would be so sad if something bad happened!! Otherwise keep up the great work can't wait for part 2 I'm really hoping you find a bunch of good pieces!! I'm praying for you buddy!!🙏
I live in a rural town and that actually happened to an older fellow I know. He went out to go fishing. Slipped on some rocks in the river and broke his leg. He was out there for several days yelling for help before someone stumbled upon him and he was flight for life’s out.
Looks very old and forgotten. So glad you found it and got it OUT of there. Also thank you for all the videos on other stones and how to recognize them, I wonder if this caught other types of precious/semi precious stones too. Like jade, agate and such. Oohhh of fossils!
Why does it matter much that it's out other than avoiding problems with inspectors?

Hey Dan! My husband and I do some panning here in northern California as a hobbies so we understand the fun thrill and hard work there is put into it did I mention fun! And getting wet is part of the fun, though I am sorry you hurt your back were in our 50s-60s and are no spring chickens either, keep up the great prospecting Dan!
You have earned my subscription! Thanks for sharing your adventure 😃
Dan, thank you! And PLEASE take someone with you on trips like this....I worried about your heart the whole time you were hucking those big rocks around, and so glad you're going to recruit some help! :) The beard is looking awesome these days, too. :) It's great to see a long video with plenty of onsite sound; it just is so soothing to hear that river run.

In one scene Dan is complaining about his feet being wet, next scene he has his feet in water up to his ankles lol
Once they're wet you might as well lol.
Hey man as far as I'm concerned if I ever start looking for gold I'm not going through all that paying b******* I'm going to have my employer with me and I'm going to throw that s*** to a damn s*** with a white one in the meat all of that I'm not going through all that b*******
You can only get wet once 🙃
It's easier to just get them wet and get it out of the way.
In my experience, at a certain point, you can't get any more wet then you already are.
It's a very interesting discovery and I respect you for practicing it😁
That mountain stream is gorgeous!!
i always enjoy dan sitting IN front of a mine entrance - especially when he dont know its a mine shaft entrance-- just clear out the rock from the sluice exit
Haven’t watched more than 5 seconds of the video, but your enthusiasm earned my sub
Hey there, just found your channel yesterday,; You earned my sub and keep up the interesting gold mining adventures Brotha, Cheers.
For one thing, to find any construction with that kind of ground cloth in it, this can't be more than 40 years old. The other thought is that if this is all you found in the sections you uncovered, you could have found this much in any old natural crevice running in any direction across the lay of the river. Chances are the high and heavy spring flow through this zone would have driven the good gold down lower to a bottom basin or gravity trap.
Hello dan, as someone who normally doesnt comment, i can say- this is the first video ive seen of yours, and it is *excellent* . Youve earned my subscription, and hopefully many more. What an awesome video.
The beards looking "Big n Hurdy" like, Dan... You've come on in leaps and bound since the ticker op! Top job matey :D :D :D
I miss B.C., thank you for the memories 😊
Wouldn’t you technically be able to leave the sluice there? Due to it being put there before the law was most likely passed?
Cause, taking it out would also technically be modifying the river bed
;)
Last I checked the constitution states that congress and states are both forbidden from applying laws retroactively (ex-post-facto.) so if it was really built prior, it isn’t illegal to be there.
@@Lychee-Nut Is that the law in Canada though?
@@politics4profittm85 If it's fun or profitable, it's illegal in Canada :(
@@user-ut9ln4vd5m just like drug dealing 😔
I look forward to seeing the rest of this. What a fun little oddball find.
I was really hoping that you had found a old time sluice that has been untouched for 100 or more years, but with it having indoor/outdoor carpet, that isn't going to be the case. Just think of what might have been in there if it had been untouched. Great video Dan Hurd!
Those had been around since the 80:s so still 40 years of gathering materials
