- FINALLY! One full weeks worth of digging and sluicing has produces a nice quantity of cons (Concentrates) and it is now time to clean them up and see how much gold we got in our first week running at the Trout Creek gold mine. We will be using the Sluice Goose "Gold Drop" for this week's clean up. Hope you enjoy the GOLD!

Good luck with the next week of work.
It may have not been as much as you wanted, but we still love the video.
Ps well done for passing the driving test
Thanks 👍
One of the best parts is that it doesn’t feel like work being out here on such an adventure.😎
Man i think you have the best job ever Andy. Hangin out with Dan Hurd taking in the nature digin dirt and makin gold. What could be better?
More like a labor of love for me...
How could anything so enjoyable be called work?
Love all the content, get that gold son!
@@ford4134 I totally totally agree🤗
@@magwa8855 it’s so awesome to work with Dan and have the chance to chit chat about all things prospecting and mining, Dan is truly a walking encyclopedia.
Thank you so much!!
good luck hopefully next week you double what youre expecting
Dan is funny as heck. You can tell he has fun with the stuff he does no matter what. He seems like you could just chill and tell stories all day anyways. If you're reading this then keep it up brother... Super entertaining your videos are awesome and my family are watches it with me entertainment enjoyment that you brought into me and my family makes me think I could do it myself like I said keep it up live long and prosper brother.
The sound of gold "thumping" in that last bit... Nice!
Seems to me your analysis is bang on, light overburden tested for viability, now to dig deeper… Well done Sirs!
I could watch that machine run all day. Super satisfying!
Don't be discouraged by the clean up guys... You know better than any of us that it takes time to discover the break even pay layer. With running the overburden, I think you might be on some good gold. Keep it up and live your best life!
Congratulations to Alex. Hi Dan, you can always find more gold but it’s only once that your son gets his license for the first time. Watching from Morrison Colorado. Never searched for gold but I think I would like to try it. You make it look easier than I know it is. Thank you for sharing with us and I hope that your heart is doing well.
Cheers from Wheat Ridge CO!
Hi Dan, I’ve been enjoying watching your efforts to find that ever elusive mother lode you’ve been searching for. Your channel keeps me entertained with the Hurd sense of humour and the beautiful BC scenery.
My dad had a placer claim up on McDame Crk, in northern BC, in the late 60’s. He built a rough cabin and worked it all by himself, all by hand. Back then he had the option of diverting the creek and working the exposed creek bed where I’m sure he would have faired better but money was short so no machine work was ever completed.
McDame Crk has been mined off and on over the past few centuries especially by the Chinese. It’s amazing to see how at the turn of the last century they managed to move massive boulders all by brute manpower.
Not that my dad didn’t see his share of gold. He toiled away at his claim through the summer and went to work on the concentrates in the winter since the season that far north is so short. One story I know will make cringe Dan is when my brother came up from Saskatoon for a visit. Dad kept his concentrates in 5 gal plastic buckets and while he was off working in the creek one day my brother decided one those buckets would make a far better seat than the log stumps we had been using. Not knowing why dad had all the fine river gravel in the bucket he dumped one back into the creek then upended the bucket for a fine seat. Later dad hit the roof when he got back to the cabin and found out what his son had done. It was probably a weeks worth of work my brother sent back down the creek. Dad did find several ounces over the years he spent at his claim but back then the price of gold still hovered around $35 an ounce so he never got rich. Just the same he loved being out there, like you, always looking for that shifty gold seam.
I'm glad to see the GOLDROP worked well for you. Thanks for sharing!
You bet
It was so fun to use.
18:57 I love seeing bits and pieces of my old home town. Can't tell you how many times I walked that road there when I was a kid to get to shoppers...
That bench will yield the biggest gold you've ever found. What's on the bedrock is going to make you and Andy financially comfortable before you're halfway through it.
Lots of great shows coming.
That's what I see ...👍🏻
That Sluce Goose Gold Drop is a nifty machine! There is something hypnotic and enjoyable watching it process that paydirt.
Congratulations ALEX on getting that driver’s license! Have fun, be safe!
10 grams… eh I guess it’s not that bad when you consider there was a lot of top soil run at first. Good luck as you go deeper. I’ll look forward to seeing what those layers hold.
The beard is coming along nicely Dan.
Your lookin good. Im so glad your doing well. Good luck with the new mine.
Im still 🙏 4 ur 🧡😉
Gold drop clean up is really cool. I like how you can watch the gold drop out of the concentrate
Hey Dan sure would love to have a sticker from your operation. In the early 70’S I worked at a gold mine that you would go crazy seeing the gold we pulled out of those tunnels. Thanks for the great streams and great 👍 luck 🍀 to you.
The sound of the flakes dropping into the glass jar. Thanks for that. You could really tell the density of them.
This is great. I love watching you guys making money from mother earth through hard work. Old school.
Waiting!...or should I say Gold weighting... hahaha
The home video was wholesome and adorable. Just as it should be. Love it.
I absolutely LOVE that retro clip of Alex running the highbanker!! So heart warming to see and also to see the progress in your video production ! .Another great video Dan ..Cant wait to start Mining my side SOoooon
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope it is everything that you hope for and more you deserve it dan i could never thank you enough. For taking us with you on all your adventures ..ill be watching chin up I have faith in your ability I know you will succeed I enjoyed this congrats to Alex
Loving this series already! Pretty pumped for the next round! Fingers crossed.
The old video with your son is so nice ,looks like good memories .
love your content Dan , every time a new adventure
You realize how rich California is when you get an oz in 2 yards or a gram a bucket some days. That's gotta hurt for 84 yards. Mining sure isn't easy
It's refreshing to see somebody who is happy these days - a rare sight. Keep up the good work!
Keep on going fellas! This Trout Creek series is so much fun to watch
You & Andy are rolling along now...things are falling into place. We are all excited & following along with ya'll. Respect brother.
Whaaaa!?!?! Ok... I have to wait then.
I want to congratulate your son to his drivers licence! Life becomes so much easier with the licence!
You absolutely get a sub with your humble request. Also the fact that you didn’t ask me to smash anything. It’s appreciated. I’m really enjoying your content.
I like the Canadian leaf chairs! Oh and the gold too!!
Really hope this "pans out"....jokes aside, I would love to watch this process through your perspective, Dan
@Chris Donahue I should probably be shot for making it publicly though 🤷🏻♂️🤣
I can't wait!
I really enjoyed watching this, thank you! I am from New Zealand and I am learning so much from your videos!
Nice to see you happy and healthy back out doing what you love. And of course nice to see the beard growing back...
Oh, how they grow. I remember those older videos. How many of your students have stayed interested in mining? I loved those teaching sessions. I learned alot. Please stay safe. Here's to you finding the mother lode!!! Keep on keeping on, brother.
Hope you are feeling better Dan, as presently you are about 85 percent.
All I can do is pray for you and and lovely family.
I’m addicted to these videos, I can’t lie
Ouch good luck on the next run Dan 🤠
Hello neighbor I am Richard from lewiston Idaho!! formerly of wasilla alaska!...hope to watch you GET THE GOLD!!
I just discovered your channel and I’m enjoying learning about the minerals and rocks , I’ve been collecting them since I was young. Ty
Very exciting to watch this. Gold rush without the drama.
Congratulations on the license Alex drive safe on those wet snowy roads.
I'm sure dad will teach you well
Hi Dan, I watched a you tube video that used 5 paper plates and a magnet. They would put their black sands in the first plate and pick up the black sands with the magnet and move it to the second plate and drop it in keep going till most of the black sands are in plate # 5. Gold should be in plates #1 through 4. Then you could take the gold out of 1-4 and do it again to the black sands. But it looks like your way with the water works good too. Thanks for another GREAT video!!!
Nice job guys...it is again the first week. More gold to come everyone!
A week out there beats a week in the office 100 times over! Nice video guys!!
Found a 3 gram chunk panning in south Dakota, back in 1997. I was 15. My brother found several pieces that weighed .8 of a gram more than my total weight. You guys have this down to a science though. Eliminates a lot of the guessing game.
I love the guessing game
It was extremely satisfying hearing the little gold chunks getting sucked up in the snuffer haha
Congratulations to Alex. Better luck to you and Andy with next week's clean-up and reveal. Thanks for the video.
thank you for the Gold Drop and Gold Hog clean up methods, shows that Gold Drop really does work
It's great to see you up and running, I'm looking forward to the two ounce next week. God blesd
Always fun watching your content! Thanks!
Another great video Dan and Andy. We appreciate you breaking the process all down keep up the great work, and best of luck
Amazing work done and more to come! I’m excited to see the next 100 yards results!!!!! Keep up the great work!
What a fun way to spend time away from teaching! Such great stories to tell the kids! Good luck and hope this helps your recovery!
Love watching you find gold. I've always dreamed of digging for treasures!
Thanks for showing the work involved! Great vid, Dan!
Thanks for showing the clean up process in detail! Next week will even be better!
I like the logical storytelling. Things make sense. Hope to see more shots of the gravel bench source material.
I think I was excited as you were if not more and now see how the gold rush could've affected those who left everything behind to search for gold !!
Thanks Dan!
you are an absolutely pleasant person! it is joy watching your videos!
I’d like you to explain the different colors of gold. So interesting watching you two! Good Luck!!!🍀👍🏼
I always enjoy Sunday mornings with your new videos Dan. Hope that your operations are not effected by the wildfires. Looking forward to seeing what the next 100 yards bring.
Happy hunting the next 100 yards.. I enjoy watching your channel. Just watching gave me a little gold fever.. So I hope you will find that end of your rainbow where that big deposit of the yellow will be there. And I will be here to watch.. Thank you for sharing. And congrats to your son!!! ;-)
Great show as usual. I'm a disabled Vet, and my dream is to get to Alaska. I'm from S.A. Texas, moved to Virginia. Im trying get a protected disabled job, save some money and move to Alaska.
Can not wait for the next update. You guys are living the dream.
Love your show , from the Sierra Mountains, California.. Thank You Dan. Looking forward to next week’s episode.
Thank you so much Dan I love your channel so much a great to watch what you do for the day learning a lot
Thank you for sharing Dan. I enjoy watching your videos. I’m hoping that you hit it “Big” my friend.
Gratz Alex! Another super fun video Dan! Great work!
congratulations Alex's your a driver be careful out there. nice gold dan I hope it gets better from here .thank you for sharing the adventure.
What's important here is probability sampling. There's going to be a lot of deviation between 100 yard zones. One might net 10g and another one might net 40g. What's important is that they average out to your target of about an ounce over repeated experiments. If the estimation is correct and the average should be an ounce per 100 yards, the average of your realized returns per 100 yards will also move closer and closer to that amount as you mine a higher % of the total yards.
Nice to see you recovered and back to yourself after your medical event. That gold drop thing is genius, the use of the fluidized bed is really cool.
Got my Dan Hurd Paydirt bag and boom ! 0.9 grams total recovered and plenty of fun learning and testing. Even scored a 0.5 g picker and a big garnet! Thanks Dan !
Looking forward to the next 84 yards !
Dan, you are an awesome, positive guy. I hope your venture pays off.
Hay Dan I really enjoy your show I have learned a lot from you about recovering gold from pay dirt unfortunately I recently lost 50 lb of pay dirt and all of my equipment to a house fire I'm a disabled vet and it will take me time to rebuild my stuff up keep up with the good work and get the gold thanks Mike.
Watching this is so addictive, can't get enough of it!
I just love following along with your adventures.
like a mini Gold Rush...You're living the dream bro!!!...Grumble Grumble.... i wanna see 100 yards of the good pay ran through the set up....
Great video! I really enjoyed your narration and upbeat attitude. Good luck with your continued prospecting!
Can't wait for next weeks video, we're rooting for you to have a great clean up!
You and Andy are a good pair. Seen Andy do some good detective work and Dan is of Course Dan lol. Great luck with next 100 yards🤠
I hope it gets better for you guys. You deserve it for all the hard work.
Fun video! The gold drop is super satisfying to watch. Good luck on the next cleanup ✨✨✨
I love watching your adventures your a great story teller thank you for sharing all your knowledge with such enthusiasm
Glad to see you up and running again brother. Lots of luck
Great video Dan, thanks.
Man what an impressive operation! The dedication that it takes, so magnificent!
You and Andy make a great team.
I like how you always seem to have that unbreakable confidence in your gold finding and you have like..a positive mind frame of some gold's better than no gold "attitude" =) May I just say..
I wish you much more gold in your findings for future episodes once again thanks Dan and co cause of how much effort you put into these videos its nice to see people grateful with what they found what I love the most about your gold finding show is that your camera crew aren't messing with the equipment for extra ratings creating problems and standing there oblivious and still recording (lol) somehow creating drama out of a screw lose in the whaddya ma-call it? and then have a narrator explain everything around the situation on a 3d chart that costs millions of dollars to explain that all they originally done is turn the machine 2 inches to the left or just welded a break then further more to add to the shut down in the 5 minutes....... I mean..... 5 hours it was off costed hundreds of thousands of dollars $$$ haha....why the stress? where as here it's no stress here =) nice, honest, happy, awesome, good old day gold finding that you can't find anywhere else sadly this day and age. Has to be said from an opinion.. Oh and congrats to Alex on passing his test!
As for me.. Another coffee another episode I thinks hehe =)
Love your videos Dan, please keep them coming.
Well done. Loving the math issue to ‘prove’ the process and values. Well done gentlemen. It’ll improve I’m sure.
Congrats to your son and good luck as you move forward!
Hey Dan gotta tell yah it's awesome watching you do your adventures and the finds u come across.
And also it's great to see that u were able to get your operation up an running wish you and your buddy all the best luck.
Thanks Dan
I adore this channel.
Congratulations Alex on your Milestone.. Enjoy & Be careful..
Isn't Andy just the Nicest fella, He is just the warmest soul, I really like him.
Loved the video. I don’t know why, but the Goldrop working is very mesmerizing!
Darn it. It's always fun work, but was sure hoping for more gold. But, I think you guys are right --- a little deeper will be a lot better. Thanks for takin' the time to make these videos. I love watchin' 'em.
