    I love finding shales like that. You're almost certain to find gold in it!

    • @Danhurd
      @Danhurd  5 років тому +2

      Yup! Shale is one of my favourite things to pan - I was working it all day today. Hard on the hands though (Mike spilled a lot of blood today because of that shale).

      Dan Hurd definitely! It’s clear you care just as much for the environment you’re working in (or playing in depending on how you look at it), as for the work you’re doing! It’s a gorgeous area. Bet that waters cold too.

    Hello Dan, Yet another wonderful day on your side of the rockies. Thompson looks good so far this year...and yet another fine video proving that not always following the golden rule about inside corners can still yield some gold...And another good tip for others about the open avaliability to try one's hand on the Thompson with reguards to open panning...can't wait for your next video...So until your next video, you and yours have a wonderful day...Bye 👍

    Would a small pump and hose help to wash out the bottom of the cracks? Many year ago ( before you were born ) I was working in northern Ontario and saw a backpack with a hand pump that fire crews used. I think it held about 10 gallons. Use it to wash out the cracks

    The Thompson is quite beautiful but so much bigger than what I'm used to prospecting. It's bigger than the Yellowstone and what I prospect is a fraction of the size of the Yellowstone. Big water, big gold I guess.

    Dan! I live in gold hill NC. My creek is part of the original mining from 1840’ s. Have been mining good gold out of the bottom. At the bottom, in the pockets we have a lot of gray material, does this material contain gold as a whole? We find some but not a lot in it! Been two years mining same hole!
