Love the videos and incorporating your family in the schemes! Keep up the great work and don't let the haters get to you. There are thousands that you inspire with your videos and GLOTD. One day I hope to take my wife out and adventure like you do!
Dan!! I love your vids but this particular one is so exciting!! I love how you know where to go and what to look for. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with the world and having your Father along is extra special. You might not have taken such interest if it hadn’t been for your him, yes?!! Very cool!! I wish I was young again because I am so drawn to all these videos where people find Mother Nature’s treasures!!
I am so glad I found this channel from my chem teacher ( your sister, Darby ) using your video to teach us about many things , seeing new stuff is amazing
i know know why I love your videos. You remind me of my father, he was in contrsuction supplies and was one of the NorthEast US most well respected dealer for stone. He used to take me up to tthe Herikmer Diamond mines and we would mine the quatrz crystals for ourselves, without the power tools
My camera was on the setting I use for taking vids of gold, which is skewed into the blue range. Otherwise that camera makes all gold look red. But with the low lilght in the trees, it realy made these look blue rather than purple.
Hiya. Did you say that someone had been on your claim ? Must be heart breaking to know people are taking from your claim. Great video Dan. Nice to see your dad with you. 👍🏻
Those small samples with the tiny Stalagmites which you said you didnt have any use for, could be sold as Micro Specimens....i love collecting them and im sure others would love them too. Another great video....much love to you and your family from the Wiltshire UK ❤❤❤❤
I think about you as i walk the landscapes of my new country and admire alllllll the gorgeous stones. Wish you were here to help me Identity them. 🌺 Blessings
Dad Hurd! Love to see you! Love your videos, Dan. I'm in the 108 Mile Ranch now, from Chilliwack, and i feel a connection to so many of the areas that you work in. I absolutely love your content. 😊
You find the most amazing most beautiful crystals and gems!!! I'd love to do what you do!!! ❤ Thanks for always sharing your adventures with us!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!😉
I would have clicked faster if I knew your dad was joining. :) Always fun to see a change in dynamics like that on a youtuber I have watched for awhile. (You should add "with dad" to the end of your title)
Very interesting material you were pulling out, and how it's mined. Love those colors!! A lot different than the material I pull out here in Aransas. Great to see your dad doing it with you. Cherish that, not all of us have dad's who would want to do this with their son's.
Дякую, чудове відео! Дуже цікаве родовище, та гарний результат! Вміщуюча порода мабуть базальт, або андезито-базальт, класика жанру. Лава була не дуже рідкою, бо газові пустоти не встигли набути більш округлоЇ форми. Так, агати та кристали гарні, трохи схожі на Іджеванські агати АрменіЇ з Кавказу. Всього доброго, хай щастить! Привіт од геолога з УкраЇни!
Gee, Dan... I think that little piece at 9:48 (and others like it) would make a cool micro sculpture. Giver a bath. Maybe a coating of CA glue or a dip in thin epoxy. Mount it to a little stainless welding rod stem. Mount that on a nice little square Walnut or Maple base. Would look awesome! :)
25:30 It's interesting that you can see triboluminescence off and on through this cutting sequence. Pretty nice! If you go to a rocky beach with smooth quartz rocks, try to pick up a couple larger ones. You can get a cool light show if you rub them together firmly in a dark place. Just don't breathe in the dust!
Lovely stuff! I have no idea about any of this stuff but I'm going to make an ill informed suggestion anyway: dynamite is surely easier, if maybe illegallyer?
On my trip across canada i found amber, and massive 45lbs chunk of dark grey chalcedony on the host rock. Lots of red jasper and some green.. In Honduras on a island close by, i found a bunch of bright mountain dew geeen chalcedony, all hand fillers perfectly polished by the ocean..
Not gonna lie, didn't know that Amethyst can be that kind of blue. I always thought that it's more like fake heated amethyst/ quartz crystal. It looks beautiful!
Great vid as usual! I might be the only one, but I’ve always wondered, how do you keep track of what areas you’ve worked in each claim?? You almost always find the hot ground and avoid areas you’ve already worked, that seems like it would become difficult when you have so many claims!!
I love how your family is always part of your production. Take in every second with your dad. It's been 38 years since cancer took mine.
haha
@@Rp707why laugh?
@@stevenwalmsley3468 I was pretty high my good man.
Hep.
My father died on my 42.nd birthday, 9 years ago. My mother died around 27 years ago.
Remember to appreciate your family - if you can.
Love Dans videos. He lives my dreams ❤

The Dad is Back ! Happy to see he is up about and doing well !

Thanks for sharing 💎Dan!
Hey hey, loely video, i think u should use some water on this kind of spots
Three cheers for your dad! I’m glad to see him enjoying a day of rock hounding!
Dan is growing his channel and I’m happy about it. Yeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! 😊
Love the videos and incorporating your family in the schemes! Keep up the great work and don't let the haters get to you. There are thousands that you inspire with your videos and GLOTD. One day I hope to take my wife out and adventure like you do!
Always love to see a herd of Hurds on Dan's videos!!
Dan!! I love your vids but this particular one is so exciting!! I love how you know where to go and what to look for.

So glad to see your dad Dan!
Thnx for yet another awesome movie.! Love your enthusiasm Dan.!! Keep making ppl happy and smile.!
Good morning Dan! Thank you so much for making our Sunday mornings fun! All the best to you and your family❤
You still picked up some nice specimen pieces!

Always in anticipation of your great show. Thank you
Very nice colors at the end😊
Oh wow… really love how you pull such beautiful things out of solid rock! ❤
I love the videos with your dad! I just want to hug you both!!
So nice to see you and Dad out and about.
Dan you are a joy. I love these forays onto your claims. Thank you
What a fun dig! You have to love nature and all its gifts
That close up cam really makes it look blue!
He said he has the camera set for gold, hence it looking blue for close-ups!
My camera was on the setting I use for taking vids of gold, which is skewed into the blue range. Otherwise that camera makes all gold look red. But with the low lilght in the trees, it realy made these look blue rather than purple.
Dan is the amethyst you find at this site facetable? Some of those crystals looked amazing!
That's a nifty lil rock saw, where did you pick it from?
I wanna play in the dirt, too! 🥺
Hope you found a lot of pretty things!!! 😊
Can barely wait. Always a great experience watching and learning.
I LOVE the ocean picture stone earrings my friend bought❤❤❤❤❤❤
that blue is beautiful
Hiya. Did you say that someone had been on your claim ? Must be heart breaking to know people are taking from your claim. Great video Dan. Nice to see your dad with you. 👍🏻
Great to see you and Dad back at it.
Love watching your videos. Enjoyed seeing your dad too. Thanks.
Productive day. Thanks for taking me along to watch.
Amethyst, regardless of it being my birthstone, is probably my favorite...the birthstone portion DOES contribute bias, but still.
Those small samples with the tiny Stalagmites which you said you didnt have any use for, could be sold as Micro Specimens....i love collecting them and im sure others would love them too. Another great video....much love to you and your family from the Wiltshire UK ❤❤❤❤
Dan. you are blessed because you still have your father around. Keep up the great work.
love your videos Dan ❤ they are the best escape ever ❤ wish I had such a tight family 😅😢
The amount of time and effort you must spend editing is worth noting. One more thing I love about this channel.
The pocket finds are the coolest looking ones. It's amazing how the ugly outside has a beautiful inside. Have a powerful day Señor Dan.
That first amethyst was pretty! I know more purple = more desirable but it was nice!
Dad did a good job with the camera! Thanks for the fun, Dan.
Love your vids. You are so fun and enthusiastic.
the geode with stalactites would be a very expensive piece if it could be retrieved as a whole. Enjoyed the video a lot !
Time well spent with your dad that’s what it’s all about. Thank you for sharing the video.👍🏻
That's a nice haul. Thanks for sharing Dan
A little late, but the murder goats escaped, and had to round them up! 😂
Thanks for the awesome adventure, and the hunt!
I think about you as i walk the landscapes of my new country and admire alllllll the gorgeous stones. Wish you were here to help me Identity them. 🌺 Blessings
Wow those are beautiful! The one you cut for the camera looks like a storm over the ocean. Would be an awesome addition to any rockhounds collection
You could make a night light with the rock wall that was super thin, could even be realistic cave scene
I find it interesting how they resemble oysters in shape, often flat on one side and rounded on the other.
Good video Dan, good to see you out with your dad.
Dad Hurd! Love to see you! Love your videos, Dan. I'm in the 108 Mile Ranch now, from Chilliwack, and i feel a connection to so many of the areas that you work in. I absolutely love your content. 😊
Awesome work Dan & Dans Dad. Those are so beautiful.
Hi Dad 😊 Hi Dan 😊
You find the most amazing most beautiful crystals and gems!!! I'd love to do what you do!!! ❤ Thanks for always sharing your adventures with us!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!😉

I liked the basketball reference thanks Dan always there for all your viewers
Its good that you get to spend time with your dad!
The little ones are wonderful!!! Okay pretty rocks are all wonderful! But the cute little ones!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thanks, Dan amazing Amethyst
Fantastic adventure. Fantastic results too!
Gosh I’d love to do this. I’m trying to learn more about geology and mineralogy, maybe someday I’ll stake a claim of my own ❤
Lovely stuff! I have no idea about any of this stuff but I'm going to make an ill informed suggestion anyway: dynamite is surely easier, if maybe illegallyer?
Great video. Wondering if the thin shelled ones would shatter while you are cutting them
I really want to do this work and i have collected lots of stones!
I love you Dan, let's find some gold!
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Great video..:loved that your Dad accompanied you.
On my trip across canada i found amber, and massive 45lbs chunk of dark grey chalcedony on the host rock.
Lots of red jasper and some green..
In Honduras on a island close by, i found a bunch of bright mountain dew geeen chalcedony, all hand fillers perfectly polished by the ocean..
We love you Dan
Ty for the adventure have a great day
Love your show. They found 29 tons of amethyst in the Pilbara of Weatern Australia recently. Fantastic find I hear. 11.12am Tuesday here in WA.
Amazing pieces dan
Great job
I always look forward to your videos!
Incredible finds!! That amethyst water level agate looks like a SHARK!! 🦈🦷 Thanks for sharing!! ROCK ON!! 😁👍🏻🪨⛏️
Between stars in the sky, grains of sand on the beach, and mining claims owned by Dan, I think Dan has the other 2 beat.
In another million years or so, there will be new agates and geodes. No worries about a few broken ones.
Good stuff‼️
Hey Dan, Simon here from Prospector Park Australia. What was the thickness of the diamond saw blade you were using with that geode cut?
Hi Dad!
The paper thin pieces with stalagtites would be interesting to use for close up photos and art
At 12:28, it looks like a cube all the way to the right and half way up the screen. Is that an optical illusion or is it truly a cube??
Not gonna lie, didn't know that Amethyst can be that kind of blue. I always thought that it's more like fake heated amethyst/ quartz crystal. It looks beautiful!
Happy Dan is contagious. It's actually quite profound.
Thanks again Dan. Made the morning .eh
Great vid as usual! I might be the only one, but I’ve always wondered, how do you keep track of what areas you’ve worked in each claim?? You almost always find the hot ground and avoid areas you’ve already worked, that seems like it would become difficult when you have so many claims!!
Love this one!
Always like yhe videos w yhe family & Dan Dad even more, he yalks so much tho 😂😂😂. Wel someone does a lot of talking heheh😂😂😂
