- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ธ.ค. 2023
- Join Jason, @Danhurd and @mineoperator as they venture into the deserts of Southern California on a quest for elusive gold! In this exciting episode, the team takes on a new challenge-dry washing! Will the dry desert environment reveal a bounty of gold, or will it remain a well-guarded secret?
Drywashing, a technique akin to the wetter alternative of sluicing in northern regions, is put to the test by Jason and Dan for the first time. The adventure unfolds as they navigate the unique challenges posed by drywashing. As if the drywashing adventure isn't thrilling enough, Jason and Dan engage in a "gold off" competition! It's a battle royale between the USA and Canada-two seasoned gold TH-camrs vying to outdo each other in the quest for the precious yellow metal.
But here's the twist: to determine the ultimate winner, you, the viewer, must watch both videos and cast your vote! Leave a comment sharing your choice for the gold recovery champion-will it be Jason or Dan? The fate of the "gold off" hangs in the balance, and your vote decides the victor!
Don't miss out on the drywashing excitement and the showdown for gold supremacy! Subscribe, like, and hit the notification bell to catch every moment of this epic desert gold hunting adventure.

Laughed out loud at the "He's shoveling as fast as a Canadian can" comment - good video Jason
Hed best be careful, if Pauly hears that, he will show Jason what a Candian badger can do!! 🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪🥰🥰
Man! That hand crank bellows system works way better than I expected it to!
Wouldnt take too much to add a treadle, one or two, so you wouldnt be killing your back....
So Dan can never get in trouble, And he's living the perfect life. He loves his WORK, his work IS his hobbly, his hobby IS his work, and his idea of going on Vacation, is going Somewhere to Work AT His Hobby! Orrr, just going to Work! He can't lose! It's the perfect life for a man who loves his Work.
Absolutely love the colab content you have been doing with Dan!
I enjoy the content you and Dan make together. You both bring knowledge to the table and along with that different approaches. Keep up the great videos!
Reminded me of an invention I made on a job many years ago that would probably work well for Dry washing fine materials and sand. It consisted of a 10hp insulation vacuum used for sucking out "blown in" insulation from attics. We ran out of the special bags it used one day so I hooked a 100' length of an inflatable tubing called "lay flat" to the output, which is a clear thin plastic tubing that comes on a roll. I used an automotive air filter taped at the end of the 100' run of tubing to create backpressure which inflated the lay flat into a fairly solid tube. The thing I noticed is it classified materials based on density all along its length over time. It would be amazing to bring it to the desert to classify and concentrate materials with the added benefit of being able to vacuum them up at a high rate.
Hello. Do u think u could possibly put up instructions w/pictures of your device ? I'd like to try it out. I'm sure many others would to.
Thank you !😃👍♻️🇺🇲🕯️
Waterless dredging 😮👌
@miked-ec9jn I will make a video at some point soon in the future, I have a 5hp walk behind blower I can probably convert to do the same job. The sad part is the footage of the original is on a crashed Ipad from antiquity, so its lost forever.
@@ProlificInvention maybe Quantico could find it 🤔😳😂🤣😂🤣👍 ♻️🇺🇸
I imagine blockages
Thst dry washer was from the 70’s! Respect!
The hand turned dry box needs like a bike or something to turn that wheel at a constant speed for a long period of time
When Canadians and Americans work together good things happen!
Awesome, another technique I'd love to try one day!
Hearing you mention the scheelite - does that mean the gold will also have some tungsten content? That might be a pain to get out of by cupelling - I think that's the problem I ran into cupelling mine: The bead formed a crust of solid black stuff.
After some remembering that the gold mines upstream on the river, where our gold comes from, also produced tungsten and research into it, a tungsten oxide melts at around 2000°C - not something my mini kiln can produce. 😞
Dan is without a doubt the best gold panning person I have ever seen. The idea of that first machine is really pretty good. I'm taking Dan in a nose to the finish line winner. But I like Jason and Dan the same so all I will say is that your are both of you a gentleman and a scholar. Good day kind sirs and the other people who supplied the machines. Keep making videos together and Jason get back n the hard rock mine in the spring as soon as possible. And Jason could you make a video where you compare the pay streak payout over the entire vein se we can know which area is the highest payout area per ton.
If you eat grain products , you do so because combines utilize the same concept to harvest and separate grain from the dust and chaff .
Density and inertial differences , vibration , along with air flow , same concept as is used here to recover heavy minerals , like gold .
Dry washers are not some oddball niche machinery .
They feed humanity .
COOL! NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE!
At 25:33 Dan finds what is called "Desert Pavement" - usually formed during periods of long enduring stability on the floor.
I got it figured out, you hook a bicycle to the manual one and tell your wifes it's an exercise bike....lol
Foil is the worst when detecting. Aluminum cans as well. They signal just like gold a lot of the time.
Am happy to see a vacuum. Most of the Au will be from there.
Jason, you can't trust the detector on that quartz. You can have a pile of fines and the detector won't go off; too fine to be read. Only way to be sure is your way: crush. Hope you brought home a few bags to sample. I typed previous prior to 2nd half of vid, so you saw how a detector won't always hit on the fine Au. So again, hope you brought home some Q to sample.
Big Thank lots of fun glad you enjoy we need to all try mining
that old puffer kicks ass
Great day out there fam. Happy holidays 🎉. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Always glad to see anything you put out...but man. It's killing me waiting to see you do a big smelt.
Different, cool....
Thanks mine operator...🙂👍🙏✅🇳🇿
Ok 205:54 Man that thing is effing awesome! Lets continue. Oh & Happy New Years (will be in a couple hours here) Love your videos
That hand operated dry washer looks like one that used to be made by a fellow in Randsburg CA. I have one (along with 5 other drywashers) I tested it once up on the gravel beside the San Miguel river and it worked good. After running long enough for the tails to come up to the bottom of the dry washer sluice, I ran 3 five gallon buckets of fines that came off the end thru a spiral wheel and there was maybe 100 pieces of very fine gold but if you put them all together they might have made one of the larger pieces ( about 1/16 in across) that the dry washer caught. I was quite impressed. I ran the dry washer for 15 - 20 minuets and maybe another 5 minuets to pan the material. It took 2.5 hours to run the 3 buckets thur the spiral wheel and pan the cons. These cons consisted of 3 three quarter full 14 inch gold pans of black sands to get the very fine gold separated. Imagine if I had just run the dry washer for that 2.5 hours. I would probably had 10 - 15 grams of gold.
That's cool, I've never seen a hand crank drywasher before!
🇺🇸 Love the friendly competition. Great video that had me smiling
Happy New Year Everybody !
Awesome video. I like the hand operated dry washer. Never seen one of those before. It's still blows my mind how much gold is still around in You're country and here in Australia.
Hey Jason, Great video! Thumbs up! Jim
So fun to watch the different interpretations from you all, on this desert Gold day. Thanks for the great content and collaborations. Happy NewYear to all. May it be a good one.
Never tried drywashing before. Cool to see you guys showing how it is done. Hopefully I can make it out that way before I get too old. Would be awesome to have you guys as guests in NC sometime if you ever wanted to visit. I live very close to where the 1st gold rush started in the USA
It seems like some air flow up through the bottom of the sluice might be a huge upgrade. Something like an air hockey table where it would more effectively get the dirt to move past the ripple.
Seeing you try to detect that gold gave me an idea for a video. How about setting up a scale of gold from small to large and see what the detector can pick up and how deep. Great content! Love the new places and methods you're showing! Thanks for sharing!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Nothing 'easy' in gold mining.
dope old school dry hopping, love it
Those slow-motion shots are really cool.
And great fun was had by all!
Good job guys!
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
So get out your black light and wander around after dark marking spots that show the presence of scheelite to work the next day.
And scorpions....lol
I’d be curious how quick you could get that scheelite to add up. Tungsten has a pretty reasonable scrap value.
I might be interested in mining the tungsten more than the gold.
New Subscriber. Going to live watching!
Ransburg
Better off running detector !
Those claims belong to a doctor for years so the spots stay good.
Great place to go in the winter time!
I’ve seen nuggets up to 5 ounces lots of quarter ounce .
It’s been hit hard for the last 25 years so you really got a listen for them to target or dig!
ZZ DAN!!
Jason, you're all breaking Jeff Williams saying... "Yeah, your going to get wet!" With these gismos! Lol! I personally like the old-school one that runs off of ambition?...keep the AU happening All ya! ⚒️⚖️🤠
And... "Yeah, your going to get dusty!"👍
Is tungsten not worth quite a bit? Its used for TIG welding heavily I would think it would be worth mining unless its found in larger amounts?
Forget the gold, go for the tungsten ore
Our favorite it’s The Golden Boys!
You boys are going at it
💛 I LOVE IT 💛
All you mining guys are THE BEST 🌟
I once got to witness a fellow prospector's antique, wooden drywasher in action - it was an exquisite piece of equipment.
And his collection of nuggets and pickers was awe-inspiring 😊
Mike Robinson came up with that dry washer out of stanton az area. I literally just went to see his operation . Absolutely awesome dry washer, 100- mesh gold as I am still panning and will be for quite some time... smaller than fly poop gold..
Happy New Year Jason! 🍾🥳🎉
Happy new years Jason!!!! hope your year is amazing next year!!!!
Happy New Year!!
We’ll done boys great day out with the dry blowers and good mates have a great new year
Jason watch Vogus Prospecting. He has some pretty good videos on getting gold out of extremely dense quartz.
Scheelite is actually quite valuable in quantity. It's tungsten ore.
very surprised dry washing works so well! that unlocks some interesting opportunities for sure
merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours
Starting the New Year with a bang...❤ Awesome work..
Put Dan's beard on the tray and it'll catch ALL the gold!!!💵🪙💰
Fantastic video!!! I was wondering if you do more digging into the banks of the washes, or into the wash itself. I have moved down to Arizona and am having trouble finding enough gold to make my effort worth while. My best day in three years of desert mining has been just short of a 1/4 of a gram. I am finding gold on most trips, but nothing I my opinion to run my drywasher. I have heard to stay out of the washes, dig in the sides of the washes, and even had someone tell me to dig well above the washes. I am still baffled on were to dig and get a little better showing on a more consistent basis. Thanks for any help you can give me. I just got back from two days of sampling. Didn't find anything that I would set for. I think I am digging in the wrong places.
Thanks again
Red
Another fun dusty day out!
I appreciate you sharing
🙏❤️🌲
Dan You’re our LAST HOPE?? Oooh boyyy Heeeeere We go…. 😉😉😉✌🏻
Happy New Year to everyone! Go team USA!
Could you dissolve scheelite in hydrochloric acid to make cleanup easier?
6:00
I'm the sort of nim-rod-nerd that'd attempt to rig that hand crank up to something like an exercise bike and crank it that way.
No leaning over at an awkward angle, no wearing out one shoulder then the other... just a casual slow peddling speed for me XD
nice gold thank you for sharing the adventure and information.
Any plans available for. The hand crank one? Probably more efficient/ easier to use bicycle/foot power for the manual one vs by hand.
Can’t wait to see what kind of gold u get from crushing those quartz veins!
Has Dan ever thought about joining ZZ Top?
I have a Keene 140 and love to get Dusty! Lol when you guys are coming out to Stanton Arizona, dry wash all day out here...
@10:35 Haven’t you HURD? Dan is _Mojave huge_ in SoCal!
I would love to collect the New Black Gold Scheelite Tungstate! What an awesome spectale it brings to the tables😉
San Diego J Street Pier had lots of glittery sands when i was there. Many 7 point directions i see the sun shine evey turn on that single spec i viewed walking! Not mica not shell wasnt floating it was in the sands
❤ the vid!
The ancient artifact ( not Dan Hurd ) looks cool and is definitely good for your everyday cardio workout, but that noise from the blower would annoy the hell out of me within 10 minutes I'd rather stick to the hum of the electric dry blower...
Im exactly the opposite, but maybe thats because I spin yarn and love the sound of my old wheels....
Dan found a fossil creature and didn’t know it
So do you need to have any kind of permit to do this? Or is it just go out to the desert and start digging?
I've heard a few jokes about how fast a Canadian miner can shovel.
Great interesting content as always.
Happy new year. But i am hoping for Dan lol
so cool! great for dry climates!
What brand was that metal detector and model
is this near randsburg, would you mine telling the name of the claim .i belong to 3 clubs out there, hard to find dry ground out there right now, cool video
Happy new year, MBMMLLC
The lack of dust tells me the paydirt is too damp.. Spread it on a tarp to dry out or rerun
great test at 21:59
That beard is used as a sieve for gold
5x5 Datil NM USA
I like that... from Oromia..
that dust is getting in my nose.
Lol..then you can just imagine there's...
ok wish you a happy new year may it be a great one for you
So would a air cyclone gravity seperator work on a larger scale of multiple cyclone seperators inline
Sounds about right for detecting 😂
I like you more then Dan but being Canadian I half to hope Canada wins lol
Whenever I watch the slowmo I hear we will rock you
Best wishes for the New Year Jason, 🍻Cheers. But please do not feed the Geo's
Jason. Do you contact local machine shops that do new hydraulic cylinder rods for their scrap rods for stamp mills.
Kind of shocked no one is using a respirator.
In the heat, they can be really a pain, but I agree...should be wearing em.
That's cool sir I'm very impressed with your results thank you for sharing this six stars my friends
Where?
