- You don't need a claim to find great gold. There are great public reserves all over the world set aside for people to enjoy the pastime of gold panning without having to own a claim. In this video I take you to the Tranquille public gold panning area and show what kind of gold can be found by anyone.

Dan, if you're walking along a river or whereever and feel the need to dip a pan, what do you look for to know that a place is claimed?
Our best public pan/shovel place in AZ is called Lynx Creek near Prescott. Never been skunked there.
onafixedincome I’m in the US but claims will usually have claim markers if the people take care of and mark there claims correctly. If they don’t then it’s almost impossible to know unless you go to the BLM bureau of land management or the office of parks and recreation....that is how it basically works in the US. I’m sure Canada is similar but I don’t know all there offices there. I hope this helps a little if your in Canada and helps a lot if you are in the US👍
@@RICDirector you need to know the area. or look it u on MTO. (mineral titles online)
Dan! What awesome videos you make bro. I've have gone from never thinking twice about gold prospecting to becoming fascinated by your videos!! I live in Ohio so I doubt there's any gold around here but I love your wholesome, fun and informative videos
You , Klesh, and Pauly should do a contest where a subscriber of all 3 of you can win a trip to go prospecting with you guys. Setup the same way as when you and Pauly did that gold give away. Just an idea that I think would be pretty awesome.
that would be awesome
With flights from Australia......? 😜
I agree that would be a awesome experience!
Dude!... That's a rad idea!
Similar to what Jeff Willams does.
That site is known as Pine park and was at one time the piggery for the Tranquille TB hospital and community. It is now the site used by the Kamloops school district for school children to release Coho salmon fry and learn about the history of the area. Exactly where you were digging is where the children go down to release the salmon they have been raising in tanks in their classrooms from eggs. After more than 120 years legend has it that the mother load in the hills of Tranquille has yet to be found.
17km
Pretty awesome all you do to help teach people. You're a good person.
Thanks
I have to say this is my favorite video of gold panning. Gives me the inspiration to get out and pan here locally. My health has never been the best and I love outdoors stuff. I have Cystic Fibrosis and very old for the illness 66. Yet due to these type of things I do get out. I have survived a double lung transplant 22 yrs ago. Kidney Transplant 13 but having some kidney trouble again now not so bad I won't get out. I'm also a cancer survivor. I'm an insurance companies nightmare. Great job Dan I watch a lot of youtube channels on gold and metal detecting. Thanks for what you do.
Jeff, check out Drag Race For a Cure, its a Drag race put on yearly here in Florida. Its at Palm Beach International Raceway this year. My friend David Pike has put the race on for 4 years now. 100% of ALL monies made goes to help finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis! He even helps people that needs machines, breathing stuff etc....
Thank you for showing the newbies what to do. I’ve been prospecting for many years but I don’t think enough TH-camrs show the basics. There are MANY PEOPLE who want to do this but don’t know even the first step. Thank you for having such a nice, family friendly channel Dan👍😊
I think it awesome how you help show people where to go in general recreation areas
I love the recreational panning areas. The Quesnel-Fraser area is what got me hooked on prospecting. Now I'm in the process of surveying and searching my first claim!
I’ve never tried panning for anything and I didn’t know I was interested in prospecting lol but I’m thoroughly enjoying living vicariously through people like you, Klesh and Pauly. Keep up the good work brotha!
Proud to say I was the first one who arrived to your spot on Sunday, the day after you were there. Too bad you found all the good stuff. I'm sure that area is going to be a hot spot for the next few weeks. Thanks for posting Dan! I usually go a few times a month to Tranquille since it's only 20 minute drive for me. Love that place!
Another great video Dan! I really appreciate all you do to promote the hobby. I’ll have to make it out to the Tranquille soon - looks like a great place to pan!
Great timing for this Dan! I've been waiting for a video talking about public areas. Thanks so much! Looks like a nice area, now to find it.
awesome
We have a public prospecting place about 50 miles from me and I love it one guy found a .5 or 1 oz of fine gold in a few hours of prospecting it a good place for fine gold and it has gpoa claim right next to it so its a lot of fun thanks for sharing your experience Dan
Thanks for showing you can get gold in the public areas! I would be thrilled with that take myself. Especially just panning.
Was waiting for this vid! below the Pine park area that is along the path and just about anywhere on Tranquille river in the provincial park is awesome for panning gold! and other little gems if you are lucky..As for nugget stories i'm keeping my lips zipped..great vid!
Hellooo! Love your channel, and a bonus for me I had to move away from BC and now I get to enjoy the scenery through your adventures.
Please do a video on how to turn placer gold into cash. Just curious.
I like your style ! Good acting ! dramatic, funny... but basically very informational and honest ! You got me hooked... Just like you say many times ... it's not how much gold... it's the fun you have getting it and meanwhile, you make us have fun too... watching you have it !! KUDOS... I'll be watching !!!
Nice stuff Dan. I used to pan at a "public area" near San Bernardino on Swarthout Canyon Road (on old route 66). ALWAYS found a few pieces of color EVERY TIME. Never much to speak of but always reliable.
Fantastic video as always Dan.. Thank you for the time and energy you put in into making these wonderful videos, Happy Panning and may you find a Huuuge nugget!
Thanks
Awesome video! Always cool to see some local spots in videos like there. That old bathroom/gazebo/playground that you were at was the place I would go as a kid in my school to release the salmon we would keep! It was a yearly thing and we would have lunch and games and stuff, good times for sure! I believe besides that it doubled as a hatchery location or something although I’m not super certain. Excited to see more stuff like this in the future!
Dan you are definitely in my top 2 favorite gold miners on TH-cam, love your videos, an your humor. Keep up the great work, an awesome VIDEOS you make. You really deserve so many more subs on your channel. Have a great week brother
Always fun, always informational. Thanks, Dan!
Thanks for watching
Thanks Dan, you seem to be the real deal prospector. The video was golden, so until next time, stay awesome.
Thanks Dan, great video. We have some gold here in South Carolina in the US. The mining companies have got that land posted. Thanks for sharing.
Great advice ! Thank you!
Any day of the week I would be happy to look in my pan and see as much gold as you said "wasnt much" Would love to see you work about where I go prospecting, Im sure I would learn lots. another nice video even on my 2nd watch
Great to see all those panners in the stream having fun for FREE!
Nice video, I like how these modern cameras make that gold look HUGE!!!
I love your videos they are very entertaining and informative!! Thank you for posting
Dan *pulls out 2/3 of a gram in 2 hours*- meh
Me *pulls out 1/4 gram in 4 hours* - YEET.
Good morning Dan, Thanks for sharing, always a pleasure watching. Not bad for 2 1/2 hrs.
Thanks
Your my hero! Thank you so much for keeping the dream alive!
I was watching another TH-camr's nature video in Alberta, and I went OOO, a quartz seam! LOL. You have taught me well.
Spent a lovely two days on the Tranquille last November. Had to chip though the ice to access water lol. The first day I did not find much. On the second day a local guy helped me find a spot that worked out pretty well. It was cold, but the gold much bigger than I find here in Edmonton! A really beautiful location.
Dan, I've known many an archeologist with the hat and beard combo, seeing your videos always evokes good memories of fun digs.
Dan thanks for the panning trip. If I can google this park. I will add it to my bucket list. I just want to try my luck. Your help is very well appreciated. Best of luck. Keep panning.
Great video man! Great info too! Two of my favorite rec areas here in Oregon are the Quartzville creek district and Cedar Grove Campground on the Mollala River. Both are BLM run and there is incredible gold on both sites!
First time there I didnt find a spec except a rock red in color with gold embedded in stream bed. Where is best place to run on quartz creek?
Another excellent informative video. Thank you from Australia.
Cool video and great subject. I have wondered about public panning locations here in Colorado too. I may check it out. Peace.
Dan , I don't really have anything to say except, I really enjoy your videos And Thank You. I've learned a lot from them.
actually you can pan anywhere on the river that is crown land even on someone's claim, but you aren't allowed to use machinery and sluices unless you own the claim.
Good video Dan. Wish I had that kind of options around Nashville.
Excellent video Dan Hurd, I think its a great idea actually showing where others can go on PUBLIC land. Some folks wont like that but you can not help what "some folks," think. Did that half a gram help you break even on the bug dope purchase ; D
WOW I went to Yale yesterday, I had multiple colors in every pan as well (fly poop) with a few tiny flakes, nothing as good as what you got.
Thanks for your efforts, us newbies learn a lot from you.
Thanks
Just moved to Tennessee and I'm going to be getting down to the Coker Creek area sometime in the next few weeks. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you for everything you do and for the education on gold panning that you have given me along with Polly, Clash, vogus, and busted knuckles
Nice!
In the US you are allowed to prospect in most areas outside of existing claims. Most of this activity would take place on US Forest Service land. In the state of Washington the Dept of Fish and Wildlife have a pamphlet that spells out where on a creek or river, what equipment you can use, and what time of year you can prospect. Some places are 6 months a year, some places are two weeks depending on the spawning density of certain ocean going fish. There is a mining law(prospecting would be a better term) still on the books to protect this right although states are allowed to impose additional regulations. The Forest Service will go to certain lengths to discourage you.
Nicely done, Dan!
That's awesome, my local gold panning group is to tight lipped I was told not to ask where people pan!
Friendly Group, you're still in the group? LoL. I wouldn't have a problem with telling public locations. Good luck:)
Thank you, I will have to use recreational gold panning however; I can convert to exploration claims and have demo exploration gold as well with proximity with bike and foot to Vancouver
Just about all our rivers in Tasmania is open to the public to prospect . I have Sniped on the Hellyer river for 30 years and haven't had to change to another river it's always produced great gold our biggest nugget we have got from the river is 28g HH Brad
We stopped at Truckee, and a nice ranger there told us of a nugget he found which was being displayed there. It was really big, easily golf ball sized! He said it was a free pan area, but it was 103 degrees and we wanted to find shade!
There are also several places near Los Angeles where you can pan.
Great video to show people about gold panning
Awesomeness. Thanks Dan.
Up here in Keweenaw Peninsula Michigan we are allowed to pan on Lake Superior. All one will find is the smallest of flour gold. You are allowed to pan, a quarter once per year. In most places it would take you a year. Most people pan the black sand. I treat it like a creek and look for bedrock or slate. The gold will deposit there over the years. In the black sand the gold can be washed away during a storm. Really enjoyed your video and the nice gold that you recovered. Thanks Dan.
Keep up the good work Dan. I enjoy watching you,Pauly,klesh and 911 videos
Nice Haul!! Great Video!!
Great find..I'm a big fan of yours..I love your videos..your an awesome person..keep up with the good work
Another great video. Thanks Dan
that was fun and informative!
👍
Another great video Dan, you keep on searching for the elusive golden nugget and enjoy the hunt 👍🤠
Thanks
80years old learning a lot from you my wife passed away in 2019 and I needed some thing to do I metal detecting so I tried panning doing good my son got me four bags of katar love to get some of yours
a good couple of hours for you dan !! i really enjoy your videos for your prospecting and for the scenery beautiful!!!don;t think there is gold in my country for if there were i'd be one of you and looking for guidance lol x
Thanks Dan!
We here in So Calif, we have a Recreational Mining Area, in Keyesville ,ca [Kern County on the Lower Kern River.. great camping area.. ive found bunch of flypoo small gold stuff last couple times.. but the water was in [full Sierra Mtns snow melt..absolute roaring] 3 kids fell in and 2 of them died. Not sure if they ever found them.. really sad!. So im waiting for the summer camping crowds to go home, and the water levels to drop.. Should be by now! And try some SAFE snipping n Panning ect 😉!!!. You have some awesome rivers up there! with killer gold!. great video as always....
Took my Dad to Mission Creek in Kelowna to teach him to pan a few days ago. Its a public area that you can pan. We parked in the public area along the Greenway walking/biking trail at the end of Hollywood Rd. South. Walked along the trail until we crossed the first bridge and panned the gravels on the inside bend just upstrean from the bridge. Found a few colours in every pan. Apparently the gold is a bit better further up river, just be sure not to pan on the Indian Reserve land further up without permission.
I think I'll try Tranquille this week, thanks for the tip Dan!
Nice job Dan
Hi Dan, my first experience was in Yukon at claim 66, didn't know what i was doing then, but now i know more., may go back HA,
I used to live in Kamloops and I have panned that stream. Then I moved back to Manitoba. Can't pan here as far as I know. Might have to go back on vacation.
Great video Dan...
I'll be checking out Kettle Creek in a few weeks..they have a free panning reserve just off HWY #6... I have a claim few km north of reserve, I'll be sure to report back.
Thanks. I haven't worked Kettle at all
I tried my luck in Princeton a couple weeks ago got skunked. Might have to try Tranquil River next trip to BC.
my very first speck of fly poop came from such a place. open to all. Maine. great place gold to find!
This is the video I was waiting for!!! I live in Quesnel BC! Great job as always Dan!
Thanks
There is public panning in Quesnel!
Maureen Aastrom good to know! I will look that up!
Great show . I watch every day
The recreational (pay to pan) gold panning places around here are salted gold, in other words, it has gold placed into the streams, usually low grade gold from old jewelry. You can tell by the color of the gold.
You have a great outlook on life.
Its called Pine Park. It used to be used by the patients and staff of Tranquille Hospital back in the day.
On the vertical gold hog sluice, I think a second tote below the first and a small shute to transfer The water from first tote to second remove bucket put pump in second tote would work much better only my opinion I enjoy watching your videos very informative thanks
That gold looked fine to me! Great video. Wish I lived near there.
You are a great educator my friend
Keep on panning 😊😊
Thanks
I have been to Yale 2 times. lots and lots of flour gold! Using the super sluice is awesome!
Marshland insect repellent by Clark & Co. out of S E Texas makes an outstanding product. I believe they're out of Port Arthur, Tx and fairly certain they ship to Canada, I highly recommend their product .
Checked out the Yale panning reserve on Saturday for about an hour. Got quite a few chunks of fly poop but that was it. If I would have had more time I am sure we could have found more than we did. But a nice relaxing spot to pan and enjoy the Fraser river.
Thanks Dan, great video.
Thanks
Awesome public place!! Thanks for the video Dan!💪💪🙋🙍
Thanks for taking the time to watch
@@Danhurd No problem, thanks to u!! And hello from Spain!! I always try to watch your videos as soon as I can but sometimes, because of the time difference between BC and Spain it's quite difficult. 🙋🙋🙋🙋
Panned the reserve on the goat river at Creston about 10 years ago. Would love to go back now that I know more. Drove north of Revelstoke about 8 years ago to try the panning reserve on the Goldstream River. Didn’t dip the pan in as it was a very intimidating area and directions to get there or find it were horrible. Beautiful drive and ended up going all the way to the Mica dam and picked some rocks😃. The Wildhorse reserve was fun. Did that 3 years ago. Did find some decent gold and met some great people👍🏽😃 keep at er Dan. Love your vids
Same happened to me with Revelstoke, they say it is great gold there, but was impossible to get on the water. Have you been there Dan Herd ? Any tips ??
That's some beautiful gold there. Great video as usual! Thx my friend👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
Oh wow.i went to same place by that park and found some gold too. Beautiful area.
Your 1h snuffer is better than my 2 days sluicing 😂😂 I need to move to Canada 😂
Nice work !
I've got some friends moving to Kamloops, I have a feeling I'll go for a visit sometime and check this area out for sure!
I really love the sniffer lanyard case. Do you make those yourself? Or how can I get one or make one? Love watching uh and your friends. I've learned a great deal. Thank you
another good video Dan and not bad gold too for a couple hours of panning cheers
I live in the quartzville area in Oregon, we have miles and miles of public access panning sites. I've never found great gold, and seems to be more of a guys trip for my friends and I. But we do have a great time.
Nice flakes, Dan! Your video is proof that there's lots of treasure just waiting to be found on public lands,.
Loved the video, glad there was no teabagging!
fantástico lugar muito. Lindo esse. Rio meu. Amigo muito. Ouro.
Mr. Dan thanks for traipsing through the mosquito vortex to show us that all things are possible! If I was there, would be grinning ear to ear, thanks for sharing the shiny stuff of nature!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch
I live in Texas; somebody done took all of the gold and left the mosquitoes. :)
Texas still has great fossil beds Some of them can be worth as much as Gold . plus it is more about the search for a lot of people Work with what you have in your area , Happy hunting
Hi. Last year I watched a ton of your videos and they inspired me try out panning as an activity I could enjoy with my boys. We went to the exact same place as you show in your video. Kinda weird to see a big time celebrity like you 😀 go to the same place. Anyways, 10/10 would highly recommend this gold panning reserve for families. Bring food for a picnic at the table under the gazebo. Short hike for kids of any age. Maybe 1km. Go in the spring to avoid the bugs. Thanks Dan. Your videos are more than just entertainment. They inspire others too.
Wow. Better than not tea bag. It's a world where no one has ever been tea bagged. Thanks for sharing Dan, you lucky duck.
One of my favorite places to look for gold was a little creek just north of Trinity Lake , Laura Ingall Lake. it was called snow gulch .there are lots of Mines above it and in the old days they used to pour a lot of Mercury. All the gold we found there was mercury gold when you get to the bottom of a crevasse it would be a long line of silver shimmery Mercury and it was full of small pieces and fine gold. you hike to the top of the mountain and there are still ore cars and an old hydro cannon.
