I love your excitement level and awesome hard work on the quest for good gold. I love your ...just the right amount...background music of high energy that fits perfect with your adventures , love it. Wowza... you sure know how to find the good gold...you deserve a bonanza of riches!!
Dear Dan, love your videos. As I may have said, I’ve just been to Arrowtown in NZ. The old Gold Town. I also visited the historic Chinese Miners Village. Those men were restricted to the tailings by the other miners. They lived in little (tiny!) self built stone cottages, grew vegetables and had their own community just beside the town. They worked SO hard, it must have been bitterly cold in the winter. They sent all their money home to family in China, they stayed years, many dying in NZ. Their bones were boxed and sent home for burial. Heartbreaking. Gold prospecting is a special “career” and takes a special person! I could probably manage a couple of days! 😊
That area is highly recommended for anyone interested in gold and history. Between the bullion pit mine, the town of likely, the fishing on Quesnel lake and then hitting the back road to Barkerville for a few days is a wicked experience. Great video BTW:)
I love watching when you are in the Quesnel area. Makes me homesick, since I used to live about 30 minutes north of town, way out in the "Rhubarb" 😁 Love it and miss it!! Love watching all of your uploads and adventures but, the Quesnel ones hold a special place in my heart. ❤
I read a book about the Quesnel gold rush. I think it was called "Caribou gold". Its the history of the early days of the rush in that area. There's a story of the barbershop in Barkerville that was run by an African American from Los Angeles who was smiling all the time and was a friend to everyone. He was murdered in his barbershop and they never found out who did it. I could be wrong in the details of the story, but not the story itself. Its been fifteen years since I read the book. I remember a lot of stories from that book because it was such an awesome read that I read it many times. Thanx for the video Dan and Mark.
Your channel is my work watch playlist through and through! Any time I need to get work done, doesn't matter if it's my day job or hobbies, you always motivate me with your videos and make me want to work harder. Love the hard work and wonderful content, always excited for the next vid.
Not only do I like this video but to show all the old cabins from the gold rush. Those were beautifully keep up and I give you another thumbs up. Like I’ve sad before keep this coming
DAN!!!!!!!!!! I went to Dahlonega Georgia, U.S., to do some gold panning after getting interested from your videos! I got a bunch! wish I could show u a picture!
@@kingfloppagamingThere's a little bit of fine glacial gold in some Kentucky rivers, especially Northern KY. Fort Knox is supposedly the best spot in the state.
There's places in the Appalachians that have great gold. Head south into easten Tennessee. Stay away from land between the lakes. You shouldn't have much problem in the Appalachians in Kentucky and In North Carolina either. Just learn a bit about the geology of the spot your looking and talk to the old people, they know things.

Helloo Dan you have earned my subscription. I'm from bc the town of powell river. You make amazing videos and seeing the scenery reminds me of home. Keep up the good work dan.
Here in Saskatchewan, it looks just as smoky as you have there, Dan. I'm pretty sure we are getting it from B.C. And it smells smoky, too! 😷 Great video! ❤
I have never panned for gold but looking at these vids i cant help to wonder if it would not be faster to just do a rough shake in the pan and when u have a scoop full left dump in in a bucket. Then at bring that home to put it in a gold sluice. Ofc doing prospecting as you are today it makes sense to do pans!
Been thru the Smoke in Woodland Park, CO, when drought was happening. Not so this year. Reminds me of the 1970's. Climate is how the world turns. I am so thankful for God's creation. And I love the AU from God's creation.
there is a rumor that 2 steel barrells full of black sand and gold is buried some where near you .i know exactly where you are and some people say its on that island in your video good luck love your vids
Tiger balm deals to flies and mosquitoes, I wouldn’t go near that river without my trusty bottle of Tiger Balm. A dab on the neck, wrists, ankles etc and the critters run away, hi from New Zealand
Is that Likely? I went there for a gold panning weekend thing in ‘87, went with my dad. I remember the old cabins everywhere and my dad didn’t get any gold 😆
In those first pans, that's about what I'm finding in the glacial moraine in central NJ, where old erosion channels have concentrated the gold a bit in their mini-delta fans.
The gold got good on the third pan.. To me that says the deposit is deeper and every time you go to the surface you get jack. The gold obviously had settled down well there.
40 years ago, lived in Quesnel for 15 or so years. My mother-in-laws’ boyfriend, who was about 80 at the time, used to pan the Fraser, the Quesnel, and up towards Barkerville. Hiked all over, always came back with gold. He had old tobacco cans with 1/2 inch of flour gold in them. Heavy! Don’t know if he ever sold any, or what happened to them when he passed.
It's funny that everybody is always diggin behind rocks. Jeff Williams has a flowmodel of a river and Gold also drops out in front of rocks, maybe even more. You also know the Dutch had a 300+ meters model of the Rotterdam new waterway for testing in the 60's? You can still visit it as a ruin. Even kingfishers there.
Yes I talk about this in many videos, you can often find the bigger pieces in front of the rocks in small numbers, and the smaller behind the rocks in large numbers. But that is only a generalization, anything can happen.
Hey Dan, I miss seeing your dad on the videos. Is he ok? I just wanted to know. he reminds me of my dad a lot, good with his hands and a subtle, somewhat dark sense of humor. Not to mention that he's knowledgeable as all get out. He really reminds me of my dad.
Spent every summer since I was ten on my Dad's Placer claim the black flies were so nasty further up the Cariboo River towards the Barron Provincal Park. The water was Ice cold.
Hi Dan It's been awhile since I've made any commitments on your video's You make me so jealous 😂 I'm really loving watching you explore the same area's I grew up prospecting, hate to say it but that was 50 years ago 😢 I'm over on the Similkameen River at the Similkameen falls and I know you have worked this river a lot and was hoping you might have a suggestion on where you had the the best luck I have 10 cells to explore with massive amounts of bed rock lots and lots of gravel bars The only thing is I've only found a little bit of fly poop in 2 weeks I won't have an excavator till sometime next summer and really believe there is gold here This claim hasn't been touched in at least 15 years Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Love your videos and recommend them to anyone who asks about prospecting
WOOHOOOOOO!!! Happy golden Sunday, everyone! Hope you’re doing well, Dan! 🙂👍
I enjoy seeing the historical sites. Dan looks very natural in front of the miners' cabin 😊
Amazing Happy golden Sunday mining 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Good to see. Gold is where you find it, I see.
Very nice Dan! I also enjoyed seeing the ghost town. Has some fixer upper houses. Lol

good find gold😮
Hello Dan: Another awesome day out REGARDS from South Africa 🇿🇦.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
nice road trip ! Pretty country along the river.
Once again Dan thanks for the escape into the wilderness
Who wouldn’t love to live there.beautiful 😀👍
Dan, I truly enjoy your videos. Keep em coming, buddy.. WOOHOOOOOO!!! Happy golden Sunday, everyone! Hope you’re doing well, Dan! .
I love watching when you are in the Quesnel area. Makes me homesick, since I used to live about 30 minutes north of town, way out in the "Rhubarb" 😁 Love it and miss it!!
Love watching all of your uploads and adventures but, the Quesnel ones hold a special place in my heart. ❤
I've only known one person who called the bush "Rhubarb" and he was from the Caribou country too. Fought forest fires together.

Thank you from Berea Kentucky ✌️
Luv that slow motion classification
good job!
What a great day!!! 🙂
Love to see that 4o chev .worked on and finished 😊😊

I was eating my lunch while watching you pan and I realized I was shaking my sandwich with you. 😆 thanks for another great vid Dan!
That is just too cool!
Thanks Dan that was fascinating!
Great video Dan BC is sure full of History Good to see you out enjoying the beautiful back country. Stay safe with all the Fires.

Another great video Dan.!!! 😁👍
Thanks for sharing.!!!
Reminds me of the city of Rush.
Only the buildings in Rush are mostly up on stilts to keep them from rotting due to extreme moisture.
Sooooo... Dan's a time travelling pirate from old privateering days, lost on the modern wilderness.... Garrrrrr!!! Heeeelllloooo matey!!!...
Not only do I like this video but to show all the old cabins from the gold rush. Those were beautifully keep up and I give you another thumbs up.
Like I’ve sad before keep this coming
Wow , cool as all .
Back in the 90s we got Autobody stuff from Mark
Very nice take of gold
Very nice sir thanks for sharing this six stars
Woohoo thought I wasn't going to make it . Good morning all
Cool! I was just in barkerville last week. Hope the smoke wasn't too bad for you!
Love the new spot! Goid stuff!!
DAN!!!!!!!!!! I went to Dahlonega Georgia, U.S., to do some gold panning after getting interested from your videos! I got a bunch! wish I could show u a picture!
Beautiful country
Glad I checked my notifications, this is yet another great video from Dan! I wish I had the stuff to go gold panning but I'm broke 😂
Def worth saving up for! Can get pans for under $20 and then its just gas cost
@@jchrizzy6995Even then, I don't know any good spots in KY to try.

Great find today Dan. Great video as always.
ALRIGHT Dan, It looks like a good claim. Lots of nice sized gold and you didn't have to work too hard to find a nice little smile.👍☺
Great video Dan 👍 Nice Claim Area 👍
watching from the Philippines😊😊

I love new claim videos
Hope you, your family and friends are all safe and not affected by the devastating fires lately 🙏❤
Dan, I truly enjoy your videos. Keep em coming, buddy.
That end with that house and that beard is the most miner thing ive seen! Heheh!
there is a rumor that 2 steel barrells full of black sand and gold is buried some where near you .i know exactly where you are and some people say its on that island in your video good luck love your vids
Thank you
Twelve foot Davis meet Sliver Dan. 👍👍🤟🤙
Tiger balm deals to flies and mosquitoes, I wouldn’t go near that river without my trusty bottle of Tiger Balm. A dab on the neck, wrists, ankles etc and the critters run away, hi from New Zealand
What about you try across by the Island. Where the two rivers meet. (I have that Itchy feeling). The river sure is alive. Regards 🇿🇦.
As much smoke as has filled our air in Nebraska, your air quality meter must be off the chart.
We had a couple weeks where smoke was in the air from the Canadian wildfires here in Louisville Kentucky, hope you and your family/friends stayed safe
Very nice day
Is that Likely? I went there for a gold panning weekend thing in ‘87, went with my dad. I remember the old cabins everywhere and my dad didn’t get any gold 😆
the history of our province is so interesting so many long lost mining stuff
I would say fantabulous. I love watching your videos. Ever throw any nuggets out of the classifier? Stay safe
Hey Dan long time watching I respect your work and your talents god bless what you do ❤😅
In those first pans, that's about what I'm finding in the glacial moraine in central NJ, where old erosion channels have concentrated the gold a bit in their mini-delta fans.
The gold got good on the third pan.. To me that says the deposit is deeper and every time you go to the surface you get jack. The gold obviously had settled down well there.
In northern cali fires are bad but panning has been good last few times I went out on the smith river
Great way to start the morning before I head out to the grandparents claim south west of prince George
Gold is good there when you dig down to the blue clay.
The smoke is thick here in Grande Prairie as well
Nice count! We great lakes basin prospectors would lose our marbles on that. 😂
Golden nuggets with some real crunch
40 years ago, lived in Quesnel for 15 or so years. My mother-in-laws’ boyfriend, who was about 80 at the time, used to pan the Fraser, the Quesnel, and up towards Barkerville. Hiked all over, always came back with gold. He had old tobacco cans with 1/2 inch of flour gold in them. Heavy! Don’t know if he ever sold any, or what happened to them when he passed.
Everywhere is burning where I am in ontario we haven't had 3 days without rain all summer.
Wow would I love to spend a day with you Dan just to learn how to pan for gold
It's funny that everybody is always diggin behind rocks. Jeff Williams has a flowmodel of a river and Gold also drops out in front of rocks, maybe even more. You also know the Dutch had a 300+ meters model of the Rotterdam new waterway for testing in the 60's? You can still visit it as a ruin. Even kingfishers there.
Yes I talk about this in many videos, you can often find the bigger pieces in front of the rocks in small numbers, and the smaller behind the rocks in large numbers. But that is only a generalization, anything can happen.
Hello there team Dan
Hey Dan, I miss seeing your dad on the videos. Is he ok? I just wanted to know. he reminds me of my dad a lot, good with his hands and a subtle, somewhat dark sense of humor. Not to mention that he's knowledgeable as all get out. He really reminds me of my dad.
Yes, he is OK, he is hear right now and just got into a clip I'm editting currently
It's good to watch,
What you prefer panning or sluicing?
Not shabby at all Dan.
Hello me Dan curious question how much time do you spend prospecting I would think it would have yo be a full time job travel alone must be a killer
I wonder what you'd find on that point of land, where the two rivers meet?
Всем увлеченым внеполитики большой привет из России !!🙋😊
Hello back! May you walk in good health and happiness!
@@terrileezink7744большое спасибо🤝🙋👍!
Air looks the same here in Red Deer. AB.
Hi Dan out of curiosity how many claims have you got? Just gold claims. Keep up the great work fellow Dan 👍
Hi Dan,does the river come up that high ?...you looked like you were 30-40 feet from the river flow? nice panning -very good amounts
Yes it does
Spent every summer since I was ten on my Dad's Placer claim the black flies were so nasty further up the Cariboo River towards the Barron Provincal Park. The water was Ice cold.
Hi Dan
It's been awhile since I've made any commitments on your video's
You make me so jealous 😂
I'm really loving watching you explore the same area's I grew up prospecting, hate to say it but that was 50 years ago 😢
I'm over on the Similkameen River at the Similkameen falls and I know you have worked this river a lot and was hoping you might have a suggestion on where you had the the best luck
I have 10 cells to explore with massive amounts of bed rock lots and lots of gravel bars
The only thing is I've only found a little bit of fly poop in 2 weeks
I won't have an excavator till sometime next summer and really believe there is gold here
This claim hasn't been touched in at least 15 years
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Love your videos and recommend them to anyone who asks about prospecting
The first pan you did there was a rock with a nice flake
The "Dat is a full pile of dirt" comment broke my funny bone.
Look up "12-foot Davis". You could do fine with your in-between claim.
Polly's fly poop 💩 hahahaha
Hey Dan always enjoy your video's. Just wondering what a fly poop is worth on average?
