Sluicing Gold at the Illegal Ground Sluice!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2023
- Two years ago I found this Illegal ground sluice built into the bedrock of my dream claim. I cleaned it out of all it's gold. and then left it for two years. I come back to the illegal ground sluice in this video to see what I can find, legally sluicing for gold.

I can't believe it has been two years since you found that ground sluice. The older we get the quicker time flies by.
Man, was just thinking this lol. And I'm only 31 😅
Yeah, kinda like it’s interesting seeing a river sluice installed on the rock? Hmm kinda like you don’t see this everyday? Hmm I wonder if it would be Neat to keep in place to show future generations because well it’s not hurting anything, but you’ll be removing history by removing it for what your queen? Lame 😕
I thought it was last year 😯
I dont appreciate your timeline or comments on time. Truth is irrelevant in regard to my lack of appreciation.
You’re not kidding, no way it’s been 2 years! It feels like maybe a few months ago…time flies!! (As we get older just as you said!)
Dan, The sound of the river helps put us right there with you. Never apologize for that. Thank you
I will never complain about the sound of the river, it's great 👍
yeah people buy apps and devices to make nice white noise like that. It's comfy.
Dan, I don’t have much interest in gold prospecting, but I watch because of your personality, knowledge, explanations, and care for the rules and environment makes it entertaining.
The roar of the river near you is just a bonus.
You definitely earned a subscription here.
Agreed. I'm more of a rockhound, but Dan has such a likeable personality. Pure positivity. Same can be said about Pioneer Pauly. He never fails to crack me up.
The river floods every year washing LITERAL TONS OF SILT down it and the fish do JUST FINE.
These laws are made by ignorant propogandists on a power trip.
Small scale mining like Dan is doing has 0 effect on the environment, if anything he collects LEAD FROM the river and helps with removing mercury that is trapped on the bottom of the river and can ONLY be taken out by mining !
Sorry for the rant, it's just when the general public takes these laws at face value and innocently believes that the government is doing ANYTHING to protect the environment by controlling mining it ticks me off and i want to inform.
Dan, one of these days you need to cast a line in some of those gorgeous fishing holes to satisfy your fisherman follows :)!
My condolences . That fire was devastating. We covered the progress of it from Rutland while helping people evac . Hats off to you and your perseverance.
Dan, if there’s one person who I wished they came across a big, big gold nugget, it’s you. I wish you had such luck and soon.
May I ask which machine do I need to use in order to extract gold stone from the land
Panning and finding something like this is always going to be on my bucket list and everytime I watch your content I learn new things.
It's great to see you back at the old sluce. You found more than I expected,nice 👍
Great Job Dan! What a great way to spend the day! Watching a Dan Hurd video!
The river noise is actually super relaxing. I remember sleeping next to the confluence of the Kern River and Little Kern River in California, as a teen. I slept so very well. I love that sound.
Wow I can't believe it's been 2 years! I found the illegal sluice video way back then and just happened to stumble across your channel today!
Beautiful spot there Dan😀👍
So sorry about the bunkhouse. I hope the weather holds so you can go back. Thanks for your efforts. It looks like fun….and a lotta work!
Oh, I'm so sad, I was just admiring your beautiful, foggy morning! Our fires in Oregon were not so bad this year, the sun only turned red a couple times. Fun to be back in this spot, I was fascinated by your earlier videos about the sluice. Good luck, and I ALWAYS enjoy!
My God! What an office to "work" in Dan! Beautiful. Love your videos
That video is what got me started on you Dan and I am glad for it
Lots of luck to you Dan, sorry to see the devastation of the fires. We are heading into summer here in OZ, Victoria is known for the bushfires as well. I'm glad you found some shiney, thats a good take compared to what I find locally, I have a 2 hour + drive to get to decent ground. So I bought 1 of your Xmas paydirt bags, even with the exchange rate, its still cheaper than fuel and travel! 😊
❤it you got me out of my depression and out in the scrub chasing gold. Thank you regards from down under😊
25:00 Just plunk a flat rock over the pocket before moving the overburden and save yourself a whole lot of trouble on the back end!
i am amazed how much effort you put in for virtually no apparent return. you obviously enjoy it .
Had no idea about the leaf pattern on gold. Very interesting, thank you!
Very enjoyable video! Thank you for sharing this with us😊
Breath taking video!
I love those little spade shovels. I have one and find i use it often
Thanks for the great video and follow up on the illegal ground sluice.
I've been a casual viewer for quite some time. Good to see you looking so healthy and vibrant! Wish I had the mobility of my younger years back as I would love to fish that beautiful river.
Great video...my experience with your content has come full circle! My first time seeing was that popular video of you finding the illegal sluice!
Love the sound of the river. Your voice is fine with it.
I’ve been waiting for this awesome video Dan.
Love seeing those nuggets in the pan! Dan you actually got me into gold recovery! I don’t live in an area where I can pan so I decided to recover gold from electronics! Seeing the flakes in the jar is always amazing!
You can find gold anywhere there's a river!
Great video!
So many things I could comment on. Lots of topics. I just wanted to say I am entertained and educated and still, after many years, coming back to watch. I can't recall when you earned MY sub, but it was immediate. lol
I do recall your original "illegal sluice" videos and a few others around them.
I love your videos they are extremely fun to watch and I love the energy you have throughout the entire video it was really interesting watching what I assume was is the clouds rolling over and turning the scenes a more blue or red
Thanks Dan for the fun video!
The ground sluice video was the first video I watched, and I have been hooked eversince.
Always funny when he just turns around and give a huge smile
Hello from st John's Newfoundland! I am a big fan of your videos and have heard NL has a decent amount of gold. I'd love to give it a try for a weekend on the rock! Much love keep up the great work Dan!!
Nice little setup you have. I sure enjoy your way of working on the rocks. (Like Neil Diamond song. Love on the rocks). Thanks Dan. You are the man. Regards 🇿🇦.
Yay another great Dan Hurd video, YAY
That river water is beautiful!
Wow that means Ive been watching your channel for over two years, keep it coming I’m learning a lot of information I may use in 20 years when I’m retired 😂
19:50
Excited, are we? Sounding like Beavis or one of The Muppets YipYips. 🤣
It’s great that you explain how you follow the rules. Even for people like myself under a completely different set of rules, it helps guide us as to how we should find the local laws, but also how we can act to mine in a way that protects the environment above the local law.
As I have found, your video, even without that 7oz windfall, is entertaining and informative.
Another great video.
Your production is second only to your content. 👍
I love your videos!
That high-banker is really effective, I imagine one with a but more hopper volume would help, what with that larger material. Good stuff!!!
First time viewer and happy to subscribe... Good to see how a little gold can be found without huge machines and the Gold Rush greed kicking in.. I feel you do it because you enjoy finding the gold no matter if it is just a few flakes or a good few ounces.
I don't know what I like better watching you look for treasure or seeing the scenery. ..here in West central indiana we been receiving the smoke from the fires in BC..your in our prayers. ..
A good video Dan.
Have a ripper mate!
Before weather gets crappy you should knock down that overburden and let the flooding river clear it out over the winter
Stumbled into your channel this evening ll
Ooks lime something i can learn from.
I am never mistaken when I hit the like button BEFORE you even welcome us to your video! Yet another wonderful experience, despite the smoke! One day I would LOVE to come up there and assist you with some of my muscles to move some of those big rocks!
I remembered you finding that, great videos.
You should mount 2 RV levels to the mini hi-banker or carry a torpedo level & protractor.
Hello Dan! I have been watching your content on and off for a few years now.
I hope the wildfires clear up soon. I live in Ontario, and there were wildfires in the neighbouring province of Quebec (as you may have heard). The air quality was so poor that at times I would have trouble breathing. I can't imagine how bad it must be.
Good luck!
Was in Kelowna during the fire then had to go the long way around to Summerland after the slide closed 97. The smoke was bad in Kelowna when we were ther but not nearly as bad as it was in Prince George a few weeks earlier while we were up there.
Dan Hurd i alway enroy the scenery you show in your videos and the whoo you do when you gold too
Beautiful spot
Dan, next time you come down to bellingham come visit racehorse creek for fossil hunting!
Hello there. Good luck looks like a lot of fun
Good job sir, good lucky
I fall asleep to Dan hurds videos sometimes
So peaceful
In Mich, we been seeing and smelling smoke.. Hopefully the fires are under control now.. Great video...
That was the video that made me subscribe. Can't believe it's been two years already...
same
great content, great work!
You are very entertaining and your method of dealing with trolls is pretty good.
Any time you find gold is a good day remember it all adds up thanks for sharing this six stars
Nice job DaN! Cheers JJ
I like that removing the illegal ground sluice gets you a tip in the form of collected gold. I wish there was more remediation that came with a built in reward.
Great to see you Back in Action after your surgery
Firering on all 8 cylinders with a Supercharger behind you
I had an entire mountain of pine trees I planted in 1970 catch fire and burn a couple years back. Down in the valley going to Hamilton, Montana. They grew for a long time first.
Well that was good stuff. Thank you very much I always enjoy and look forward to your videos. Unfortunately I don't get to watch it when it first gets out in the morning on Sundays. I'm in church. However I need to be in church anyways. I love being with the brethren😊
The smoke from those fires has reached all the way down to Orlando FL, where i live. crazy!
I’m in Pennsylvania and we got smoke from Canada a few months ago! I’m 34 and I’m decent shape and my motorcycle battery died so had to push it uphill to pop start it! The smoke made me feel like I was in my 90s and wiped me out!
thats some nice gold there Dan👍👍👍👍👍
Dan , so sorry about the camp , hope you are protected from further damage😢
we've had smoke travel from those fires all the way down in North Carolina! Yall hang in there
Dont forget to like the video! Great content as always Mr. Hurd! Greetings from Sweden
I would love to meet you Dan. Your awesome sir!
Fun video 😅. So much work. Imagine getting 7 ounces though. Wow. 🤩
hey dan i love your energy . 😮❤❤❤
good attitude to live by, very Kant.
Great video!
May have been gold in that rubble pile but you tossed it all 😝
The color wash seems to be sunlight overpowering the sensors for a brief moment, maybe clearings in the smoke. Or just infrareds
I just can’t wait! 7:15 am west coast time on a Sunday. Yeah still sleeping or getting ready for church. But not
Ohhhh shit I'm so happy this sluice is back, I found you from the original video
I just need to find a way to combine fishing with prospecting lol. That would be my ideal day!
Whenever I watch your vids, my eyes are always immediately magnetized to anything with a slightly yellow tint.... and it usually lasts for a few hours after I watch lol.
That is awesome that is about that small high banker
This sluice was the first episode I watched and followed from
Background river sound is really nice. I definitely prefer it instead of background music.
Bet it's a treat to be able to sit and feed your high banker all the material it can handle!!
never found anything in boreholes. until one day i find one loaded with an ounce. didn't make any sense it was high above water line. gold is where you find it!
The flake at 16:35 looks just like the logo for the St. Louis Blues!
It wasn't there at the final reveal. Do you think it broke, or got lost in a subsequent panning?
id love to give this a go. looks like so much fun not to mention exciting!!
23:41 "no, i did not put the grates back in" yeah, thats what i'd would have said too 😉
Answerd my question on a sluce,neat little portable machine, type/brand? Fruits of your labour!!
Yeah, it was very smoky down here in lower Michigan this summer 33:01
Dan, I really enjoy your vids. JUST A HINT; obtain a 1 qt gas can from HOME Depot's fuel for small engines. The fuel is crap so burn it in your vehicle, and refill with the best gas you can obtain. It works for my tiny outboard motor and has saved me paddling more than once.
I love your videos, fellow Dan. Your passion in doing what you love is intoxicating. I would like to ask though if you can find a better word than "juicy" for good paydirt...
First time I clicked your vid was you finding that thing. I can't hardly believe that it's been two years. I suppose I will finally subscribe.
I would love to see a video where you go back over the times you bent the rules a little and got a talking to. You want to be transparent and in the vein of other channels doing "correction" videos it would be really interesting to see. Don't you have a friend/contact in the ministry? Maybe have him on as a guest for an interview and have him explain what you did wrong and how they adjudicate these kinds of things. Really, though, your dedication to doing things the right way is admirable, even if it's in part because you have so many eyes on you.
I would love to come explore the beautiful nature and learn to pan gold with you. You could keep every bit of the gold. Just to have the experience would be enough for me.
