- Always love checking out new spots on the Fraser River. This spot took some searching, but eventually found the hot spot, and had a great first day to the season gold panning along the Fraser river. Which included finding a literal pile of gold.

#goldpanning #thefinders #findinggold
So glad you're still posting your adventures
Thanks
@@Danhurd wow! so cool...you are an inspiration! ...any suggestions for the #penticton bc area?!!!
Pretty envious as well😂
Im about to buy his paydirt to practice, not the same with copper even tho I’m better practice
Dan has there been any attempts at finding something that would attract gold , like a magnet attracts metal.
You have inspired me in so many positive ways your always so happy even when the pan is empty! I strive to make people as happy as you do! Keep up the awesome work!!
It's all a learning experience, same in life working experiences
Sure you didn't find a lot of gold, and it wasn't the best day you have had on the river, but it was still a FINE day on the Fraser.
Also, the biggest piece of gold around is you, Dan, and we thank you for inviting us along every week to watch you poke, prod, and dig for gold and precious stones.
Hear hear!!!
Not a lot? It's more than many of us find in a whole year in their local rivers...

Lol true
@@G00G00L True, but to put it into perspective the sell value of what he found is about $50. Take into account the gas, travel time, and placer cost, and he's making less than $3/hr (of coarse this isn't including what he gets from TH-cam, selling rocks/other minerals, etc.). A person definitely needs to consider it an enjoyable hobby first and foremost at that rate, anything else is a bonus.
I love knowing that people like Dan are out there just doing their thing.
The SLO MO segments really help see your technique in detail. Thank you!!
Over the last few years this channel has grown really well!! Great job DAN!!
Pretty sure Dan knows what type of gold he is working. If you have only seen 3 of his videos... You should understand.
I know this spot VERY well
I came for gold,. I subscribed for dan 😊 much love from England
This is the kind of videos that made me sub years ago. I like these just chilling and panning not out for the money as much as just being out of the house.
Hiya Dan and company. Thank you from the UK
Our pleasure!
thanks for the great content Dan! 0.68g of gold is currently $47.32 usd. Gas for the truck calculated approx. $33.76 usd from peachland to lytton (assumption) highway driving a dodge ram at 13 L/100km, gas prices at $1.62/L cad. You’re making profit! yeeaaahhh! So thanks again for the content! I appreciate the passion, the knowledge, the craft, the skills, the dedication and the entertainment. include current monetization and this is a win win win.
Yeah. It's panning for views and subscribers. Sometimes he even turns up some gold.
Love your video Dan, looking forward to meeting you one day.
I enjoy the slow-motion panning and classifying!
DAN DAN the gold finding man your videos ROCK Dan
Just adding; your videos have been such a constant of positivity and joy in my life for so many years, thank you for letting us go on these journeys with you 💜 you're like a prospecting Mr. Rogers
Dan... some guys were from Australia were wondering if you can train dogs to find gold. Who needs dogs? Dan has trained a sturgeon to yabbi up gravels from the river and spit it in his pan. LOL
yep!
That jade is really nice with the light on it glad you're still enjoying what you do Dan always make me smile especially your intro its like when i first ever watched you i hope i earned your subscription today! Absolute classic! 🤣👍😁❤ From UK
"Its a numbers game" says Dan, and never a truer or more valuable life lesson has been spoken than that.
EVERYTHING in life is a numbers game and learning where to focus your attention is the difference between success and wishful thinking.
Of course that river's not a bad place to sit and just watch life go by anyway. 😂
The best part of you loving the search sir, is the information you give in these videos on those adventures. You take the time to point things out that us new comers may not see. This helps us grow and enjoy our adventures more. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking us along on the adventure.
I'm glad to see you are doing well, Dan, and it was nice seeing u in person again, just like old times.
And i love the content ur posting lately. It's been so entertaining and educational keep it coming.
You are a master of the craft. Watching your rhythm of panning with the wakes of river appears you have nature working for you.
What a great way to pass a Sunday Night! Watching Dan on the Fraser River!
Crazy how much bigger it looks spread out in a pan.
🙏❤️🌲
I love the sound of the river and I like trains the area is so beautiful the gold for me would be a bonus 😊
Very impressive gold on the Frasier. The Jade is awesome too.
It really is!
Great day out on the river Dan, thanks for taking us along!
Dan seems to have a lot of fun
Glad to see it's panning season again!
New to your channel and I'm glad you mentioned why you didn't look at the stones in the classifier as I was curious, makes total sense to me!
Your the man. I watch for a reason, you know what you're doing.
Always enjoy your videos and I am learning alot thanks to you
Fantastic stuff Dan, great to see you out panning again, there is something quite therapeutic in panning, looks a cracking hobby. not quite the same here in the UK , Appreciate your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼
These are the best videos just a man and his pan loving life 👏🏻❤
I discovered your channel through the Courtenay Rock and Gem show and I’m loving it so far! You have great charisma and knowledge of gold and rocks!
Greetings from Vancouver Island Dan. Great to see you. I hope your 2024 is rich in gold and good health.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
I read that in a Book somewhere. It describes our Dan perfectly.
Loveliest gold hunter on the planet👍🏽
👍
And to those wondering....
Dan can make more money from youtube ad revenue by just taking it easy and prospecting for gold, than he can by breaking his back shoveling and panning in one spot nonstop.
Hard-core people like the nonstop gold panning....BUT the masses of people like the "adventure" of prospecting videos.
So it makes more sense for him to cater to the larger audience....
Great end of day recovery Dan! Thanks for sharing!
Loving the slo-mo, Dan. Artistic use of the effect, and showcases the process. Nicely done!
Love the ASMR! This is why you have the most creative ways of filming I've seen. You're so special Dan and thank you for all you do❤
Good to see you back again 👍😎 Cheers to you, and your family, from Chilliwack👍😎!
Much appreciated
@@Danhurd Absolutely appreciate what you do. And with the utmost respect to, and your family 👍 The world of panning does respect you! Cheers from Chilliwack👍😎
Ice was out on the lakes here, zero snow left on the ground, and spring had just sprung on the calendar...
Then mother nature dumped about 50cm of snow yesterday, and of course, my snowblower was acting funky after being fine all winter. 😂
When i was back in india i used to see dan on his adventures, now i'm in canada and i will surely visit some of the spots dan has visited
Just happened upon your channel and I'm happily surprised at how interesting it is and what I'm learning! Thank you!
Great video good to see you out early. The slow motion panning was pretty cool and clarity was great throughout was literally watching for gold to show in back corners of your pan. Nice job!
Please understand this is only my opinion ok.. You know your claim way better than anyone else around so I feel that others should not question your knowledge of what you are doing in your videos, but we do love the funny armchair prospector's knowledge of everything someone does wrong. Keep up the great job and providing knowledge for everyone else. Love your videos..
You have to appreciate someone who uses logic to guide their selves
Woohoo!!! Great finds! I learn so much about panning from you and am excited to finally get out there this year and find some for myself here in Colorado ❤
Really liked this one Dan, im glad spring allows you to go adventuring again!
Love the videos Dan. Its such a nice relaxing vibe and we can tell you have fun doing it. As long as it doesnt get too exhausting, I hope you keep putting videos out!
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for the new video. I'm waiting for weather to break in Lassen co CA so I can get out for my second year of prospecting
I hope you find plenty of gold! 👍
Love what you do and happiness will follow. Great video Dan. 😎
Thanks for another fun video. I find the search for the yellow just as fun as finding it. I do wish to someday find a spot like that one!
I love watching gold prospectors and I get ridiculously happy when they strike colour! I’m so pleased for them. Good on Dan, he works so hard and has studied his craft. I also feel for his poor cold hands. He deserves all his hard earned good luck😊🎉🎉🎉
As the old Scots saying goes “ mony a mickle maks a muckle”…
The slo-mo on the panning here really helps people understand what they should be looking to move when clearing off the top debris... plus it looks cool 😎
love your adventures Dan. It.s about the Adventure
Wishing you a successful year Dan! Love your videos.
Hey, why not have a hand-held metal detector or wand for your large rocks? Just to a quick wave over the large stuff, if it goes off then check it. It would take a couple of seconds and it gives you peace of mind.
Happy New Panning Year Dan! 👍♥️
I love this channel. It's filled with family friendly fun content. TY Dan!!
Awesome! Appreciate the rational for trying each place
Our pleasure!
Always looking forward to a Sunday with Dan.
You do you Dan! Don't listen to those naysayers, you know what you know. I wouldn't be able to not check on that one in a million chance, but that's me and your way certainly works! Much love Dan
Good to see you Dan
I know that you are happy to be able to get out there and search for gold and to prospect new areas on your claim. Stay safe Dan and see you on the next video.
Great find! Well done and thank you for sharing.
I ALWAYS learn from your video content!! Thank you!!
Love the slow motion shots!
Thanks for the video Dan
Great Video, Dan! My favorite channel even more than my own. Look forward to the next one!
Thanks for Your knowledge!!!
Hell yeah. Love watching these
Great video Dan. I watched every bit. Was there with you in the cold on the Frazer River all the way.
Where? I didn't see you there! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks you for this great video. Very educational. By telling us why you want to check out certain places, why your expectancies are low or where you might strike some lucky, you are teaching your viewers in an extraordinairy way about prospecting.
It is not only about showing pans with as much gold as possible in it. You give a very complete picture of not only goldpanning but also of what prospecting is all about.
How about a Prospecting Lesson Of The Day every now and then in your video's? 😃 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Dan your the men brother love your video
Can't wait to get back up panning in the White Mountains National Forest, in northern New Hampshire! Thanks for the motivational video, Dan!!
You ever find any gold up there?
I am new and yes, you did earn my subscription. Exciting stuff and you are a great character. Regards from a fellow Canadian.
So cool seeing that. I go to a few spots on Mission Creek and can get between 0.1 and 0.3gm on average
Experience always trumps!! And your feet must be freezing at the end of your day. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
Awesome again Dan
I’m gonna find some gold In southwest Ohio this year. I got my pan, classifier, snuffer bottle and magnifying glass. I know I’ll get some werid looks but.. I know there’s gotta be some here.
Wish me luck.
Those slow-motion shots are so satisfying! Thanks for another great video!
I like how gold panners do the community a service and wash the rocks one shovel full at a time.
Hey Dan, in October 2023 I lost a silver handmade earring on the upper Fraser near mount Robson while doing Swiftwater rescue. I doubt it’ll make it down to you but part of me hopes I’ll see it again in one of your videos. Haha big dreams but one can hope!
When you atarted this video i gused it was the Fraser river. I think i have watch a lot of your videos last year 😊😊😊
Love your energy! awesome video :)
Dan is always happy.....what a role model....
Such great videos, showing the beauty of the Fraser River area in the beautiful province of B.C. I spent a fair amount of time skiing at Whistler Blackcomb in the late 70s and 80s. Thanks for the adventuresome videos. Don Wilson, Tacoma, Washington.
Those trains you love to see, I used to work on the CPR side. Might of seen you before I knew of you, if you panned the Frazer between 97 and 2000. Love your show, keep panning!
Experience is the kicker.
Love the slow mos!
You tell'em Dan ! My only thought would be to dig deeper, thinking there might be older deposits under the bluff fluff ! But it's your spot and you know it better then anyone else !
Nice Haul.
Keep on Diggin'
✌
Beautiful river
"Wow, I can't believe my eyes! Just stumbled upon a massive pile of gold while exploring along the Fraser River. This is absolutely incredible! The thrill of discovery is unmatched. Can't wait to see what other treasures this river holds. Stay tuned for more adventures!"🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
A new panning video. This made me happy today.
Every time I watch a Dan Hurd vid, I get the urge to fly to Canada and learn how to prospect. My bucket list has finding gold, digging for precious stones and opal prospecting on it, looks like Canada could potentially fix 2/3 in one trip 🤞
Love the vids! ❤ Colorado native here, been throughout the Rockies and just started prospecting!
Dan its always a pleasure watching you at both work and play which is the essence of the most perfect job imaginable. It would be great to hear some snippets of "The Ecstasy Of Gold" playing in the background ...you could time the song's crescendo to contents of the pan. Thanks again!
