I'm envious that your dad is still around. I loved all the adventures that my dad and I used to go on.
I'm with you. I have a greater appreciation for my own dad when I get to see people still enjoying time with theirs.
Me too
Meanwhile, I haven't talked to my dad in decades. Mainly cause he is a manipulative POS. Wish I could had this kinda relationship instead.
I feel ya. I wish my dad was still around too. ❤
I love my ol' Dad.
Whoa I think this Mr. Beast guys channel is really gonna blow up now with this collab! 😅
Excavators are fun, I grew up around them and still get excited every time I get an opportunity to run one. They are gods gift to shovel pushers.
2 yards an hour 😂, love you're videos, when I worked my parents Gold Mine on the south fork koyukuk river 450 miles north of Fairbanks Alaska, we ran 7 yard buckets every few minutes, I worked 11 weeks per year, 150k, was my pay, which was fine with me, even though our land assayed at 600 per cubic yard, this was back in 1982-87
Do you still go there?
@@outdoorloser4340 no, parents are deceased, my son passed away in Alaska in 98, my wife last year, I am retired living in Pennsylvania, I have many good memories, however if I was a bit younger, I know a few spots that could make anyone a millionaire in a matter of a few months in Alaska ❤️
What a beautiful and blessed time you're having with your dad!
The gold nuggets are great too. 😊
Good call on installing those wooden riffles (nugget traps) up top on the GoldHog matting.
I watch both the channel constantly, and I can easily say this is the best collaboration I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. I just wish Mr beast video brought more viewers to your channel because, no matter what video you watch I CAN NOT stop watching.
Dan has the will of a Miner...Great Job
Congratulations Dan! How fun! Sometimes a deadline makes us work just hard enough to get it done hey.
Lol the excavator is a beast to learn at first, but I’m sure you know now that now. After a day or two you’ll start getting the muscle memory or whatever and it’s a lot of fun.
10:40 I trust you know what you're doing, but I worried that if the chain had not come off that rock it might have pulled the bobcat over.
I saw the same thing happening lucky the Chain came of or Dan would have been launched into the hole because I doubt if he was wearing the seat belt you have to wear them while operating or one mistake and your maimed or dead
Yeah, I worried about that too. I’ve seen a few machines topple over the years. Luckily no one was hurt, but it happens so fast. Definitely have to think things through before hand when working through obstacles, because once you jump into action there is no time to turn around…
How did you keep this under wraps for this long????
I would have been screaming to the winds with this!🤐
Thank you for always being honest with your viewers. Been watching for about 2 years, and was lucky enought to talk to you a few times on your live releases
Well done Dan. What I would give to hang out with my Dad a few more times. Treasure his company my friend.
Dan this is awesome, thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Great job
Dan....what an awesome video...great seeing you and Dad bonding, the enthusiasm, the scenery and the Gold....one of your best and I've been subbed since your school vid days...nice to see another video when the weather is warmer.
That home-made highbanker is KILLER!
Dan, I am glad you found that neice Nugget! For only 4 -5 yards of pay, not bad& you got better with the Escavator!! lol, Great video!👍✌
great job Dan love watching your videos, keep up the good work cheers
WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO DAN! That was a mighty fine pan you ended up with! Incredible gold nuggets, with the best scenic view anyone could ask for! You are so blessed to have this claim; I am picturing monster nuggets in the near future! Great to see dad out there, too! I know he had as much fun as you did (other than the wicked cold). Hugs and blessings from Alabama ❤️
Always nice to see Dad Hurd in action!
I need prospecting in my life.
Thanks for sharing Dan!
DAN ! How can you not take a fly rod to that river ?
And the Gold ! Happy to see that You rose to the challenge.
Congratulations on your find! Great to see you and Dad are in sync. Precious moments.
My mom and dad really fell in love with the Australian and Yukon Gold shows on our local programming. But those have recently been discontinued, and my mom has absolutely loved all of your and Jason's videos! Thanks for being such a fun and positive channel that I can share with my family.
Always love to see your videos especially ones with family
WOW! I remember when you had only a few thousand subs. Way to go, man. Keep that up! 💯
From Bust to Banger! Good Gosh!!! Great work guys!
your teaching of geologly and mapping the way it moves im learning,im in australia almost ready to go,not sure where to start
Awesome! Especially spending that time with your dad!
My kid loves Mr Beast. I enjoy him, but man i really love this channel right here and i have for a while. Getting to share these with my kid because Dan was on Mr Beast makes me a happy man.
Thanks as always Dan.
I can relate. Working on an archeological dig, with constant running water, on my knees washing sand and pebbles in the freezing rain were some of my most miserable days.
Hi Dan! Next time use the smaller bucket for the excavator. You’ll have much better luck ripping through rock. Also, use the stick boom, also known as dipper boom to pull your bucket back towards you always keeping bucket as flat as possible. Think 90 degrees to 45 degrees. Enjoy you much!
Always enjoyed thank you Dan😊
As long as you run CAT controls on the Mini-X you should be fine. Equipment is super fun and easy to get the hang of.
Great content as usual and I echo the comment on how fortunate you are to still have your dad!!
Way to go , Dan!
10:11 - Possible 'nugget' sighting....... LOL!
Hey Dan ! Finally a decent looking pan of GOLD ! Yeah !
That's so great to see Doug again. He does remind me of my dad. I'm glad you found your nugget, but if you want to up the efficiency of your plant take a blow torch to the nozzles and soften them up and squeeze them flatter. That will make the water pressure you have and jump it up significantly as its forcing the water through a more narrow slot. That should make the dirt pile at the back of the rig melt away (like Butter😉).
The pump might not handle that. The higher u pump up the less pressure u get at the nozzle. Restricting the flow to create more pressure can really slow down ur flow when combined with the elevation change
@@kylealexander7024pressure doesn’t increase, water velocity will
@spencebrown19 idk. I'd have to re study that specifically. It's going to cause issues doing what OP said
Great gold Dan! Excellent excavator operation, you picked that up quickly. You are correct, that is absolutely beautiful country!
Dan, we love videos with your dad...I'm pretty sure he has a fan club❤😊
Its soooo awesome you have your Dad with you!! ❤😊
Love your enthusiasm and your tutorials. Great video. Keep up the great work.
Please say "Hi" to your Dad.
Very exciting episode. Loved it.
Dan you are such a nice guy, very smart man when it comes to that field, good luck 😁
Dan: You have the best gold prospecting show out there. Thank you for bringing the fun and discovery to the screen. Keep it going!
Dan has lots of experience he has unbelievable knowledge ,challenging him is a wrong wrong decision
Wow, what an unexpected surprise, a Tuesday evening video from Dan! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💰
You know when things are serious when you take your dad along ! A nice bit of gold to end the year on, well done !
10:10 Its a picker!
Good job man!
Hey ,if you ever have to mine in the cold again ,you could buy yourself an on demand propane water heater . And you could have instant warm panning tub & with a hose and sprayer it would come in handy for de-icing the sluice .
He has a campfire already , and , running water .
Just add a tap to run some through a coil of copper pipe laying in or over the fire , and he's golden .
Works for thawing pay as well .
Enjoy your adventures. God Bless you and yours.
Dan, WTG, and what an amazing helper!!
Congratulations!!
Great nugget to win a challenge with.
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
You need a tooth bucket for that material! Love the hard hat on top of the sun hat!
Wow Dan Hurd having a proper go on the big toys wtg bud great video 😊
Dual joystick excavators r so much fun to operate when u get the feel for the specific machine. Almost feels like the bucket and boom is like ur hand and arm. So much fun to operate. Especially a mini like that. I do prefer a closed cab tho. F the outside conditions
Thats awesome dan!
Nice Big Nugget Dan! But the time Spent with Dad is PRICELESS! Cheers JJ
Looking forward to seeing the major workings with the trommel on that claim Dan 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations Dan great find...
😂❤ learning curve 🎉 and Dad SLAYED the water pump 😂 hope all the towels made it 😂
Good job dan. I really love your channel. By the way I'd love to get some ocean picture stone for beads
Hi Dan, im a subscriber for a while now and enjoy your vlog.I hope you find so much gold, you'll need the machine to lift it. God bless you and all the best!
Good video, well done on the gold finds.
Very fun, can’t wait to see the next video for the final two days
It's cool that you get to spend so much time with your dad. My dad is an extreme workaholic, even though he should have properly retired by now. He's so all over the place, it's difficult to align my available time with his so we can hang out.
Spectacular gold prospecting work... solid 🇮🇩⚒️⛏️💎👍👍
It would be super cool if u put the time of day and the temp in a corner for us to know what ur doing better. Cold makes every job harder but also makes hard work less sweaty. Idk about working in sub freezing temps though
Well Done Dan way to bring it in for the home team!
Way to go Dan incredible job
awesome nuggets and such a sweet operation with your Dad!
Sweet . Exciting pod cast.. and Burrrrrr
Hell ya Dan we knew you could do it. 🙌🙌
Ever find and cool rocks in the nice n washed tailings? All shiny and clean lol
great work Dan!!
Thank Dan! How do you not spend the day fishing? If I were at that claim..... I'd "figger" some way for the gold to mine itself while I wasted time...I sure hope it's fish dinners for you guys... Beautiful river!! Wish we had that in So Cal. I was shocked to see The A&W cup. We used to have an A&W root beer stand too but alas... Thanks again Dan and Dad for an awesome video!
Good gravy that was an amazing pan of gold!!!! Wow man! Thats awesome!!
Well done Sir! Love seeing that GOLD!
Nice nugget 😊 beautiful views in and out of the pan
Glad you have /use a tailings pond
to filter the water out before it seeps back into the flow.
already 220 new people since the million. Its going fast Dan Youre already a celeberity :)
I think I see a man who is putting a digger on his Christmas list. Great video and wow those nuggets! I love your channel. I am vicariously living out my teenage dreams of being a prosecutor. Sadly the UK doesn’t have quite the geology that you get to play with. I am a science teacher, and I use yours and Jason MBMaM videos in my lessons. Keep up the good work!
I'm a fan of your dad. He seems chill but also able to bring the thunder if needed to raise a kid right. :D
Does anyone else come away from dans videos feeling like you could mine for gold? His videos are so detailed it’s almost like a how to video lol
Yes, absolutely! And I do, I started panning because of Dan and his videos. I got 1.25g of flour gold and flakes this summer. Not bad for a newb!
@@alistairclark6814 that’s awesome! I’m in south florida so the only gold we can find falls off a tourist into the sand. But i have tried some digging up in North Carolina this summer and found some cool crystals and minerals.
Well done Dan and congratulations.
Great video Dan!
Awesome Dan nice spot you got there buddy 💪
Wow what a nugget! Glad you a great one for the challenge.
And there's the "Welgcome" intro that you started the channel with, and I keep waiting for!!!
It still looks like it was loads of fun. I wanna come play in the dirt with you and your wonderful family some day!
Congrats on the, what looks to be, super fun day of mining!!!
Dan da man did it again. CONGRATS!!!
DAN your awesome, been watching you late of this last year ish and seen many of the older film of you even teaching 😂 but Learning so much, and relating to the passion. Though only work at a Bruchis PT can't wait for next spring. Would Love to help out in the future, meanwhile trying to research Spokane area terrain and see what I could find too, though haven't found much but black sand and tiny tiny possible garnets since 2017 lol...anyways, keep up the passion and thank you for sharing all you do!!! 👏and yes ur Dad is a beast for fixing that pump in a night !! Woo
great claim you got there!
What would you do differently if you can go back?
So fun and exiting hearing your sense of humor and watching you chasing the gold/bedrock seam. I've done a VERY little amount of gold panning. Enough to give me "gold fever" but, I'm currently in Sweden and not in BC Quesnel area anymore. I really miss the location! Anyhow, I'm having fun watching you so, I'm not complaining.
On a side note... I also miss being able to "snipe" on eBay, some 25 yrs. ago when gold and other precious metals weren't so expensive. My best "snipes" among a few other, were my white and yellow 14 carat "Celtic", 16 gram ring, which I managed to win the bid in the final second for a measly $16.00 and a 12 gram Platinum and diamond signet ring for my son, which I also was the "sniper" of, when it was a millisecond left to bid, I won that one for $11.00. On the Platinum ring, I had put in my highest end bid for $150.00 and really didn't think I'd win it but... Color me totally shocked and surprised when I basically got it for free... 😱
In all honesty, think it's the SNIPING I miss the most, knowing how pissed off the others that are bidding become, when they loose the bid at the last fraction of a second... 😈😇😂 Yeah, I'm evil, I know... ❤
another great video San, and those nuggies were NICE
It looks like your mebbe camping. If so I'd like to see some of that. I've been watching too many videos of solo camping lately lol.
The gold videos are fun and all but I like the Jade and gems episodes the most.
