- This video is part of a Gold Mining and Mineral Prospecting course. In this video I show all the equipment I take with me when I'm prospecting. I go through my gold panning backpack and explain each piece of equipment in the pack.
"What to take with you when gold panning"
I am one of the random viewers that appreciate you posting the videos. Thanks!!
You're recording this because you are cementing your name as a gold prospecting legend for future generations to learn from. Considering You're too humble to say it i will.
Have watched as many of your videos as I can find. I hope the students realize how fortunate they are to have a great chance to learn from you .... I learned all my prospecting , more or less on the "trial and error" method , .....that was before the TH-cam days. All I have been able to do is look VERY HARD ......I live in Alabama and all the gold here is super small -----leading all the way to the Carolina's ! Don't get me wrong I have a great time looking for it and as you go northeast the chances are better that the gold will increase in size and amounts. Keep up the great work ....love your teaching skills and style.....l'm a very lucky guy to still do a lot outdoors at age 63 , my health has allowed me to stay as active as I want...... and I do . Also thank you for all the great info l've received from all your videos.RICHARD!
The knowledge that someone teaches you , they pass the wealth of information to you a life time of hard work and hard decisions, sometimes it’s not easy and giving them a hand to expand their minds and grow you are truly an educator ... thank you Mr Hurd . Bless you for caring ...The Black Dog Down.....over and out!....
Thanks!
I stumbled across this series of videos from the class you taught to your students. What a great series. Thanks I like the way you teach the kids. Being a teacher is not an easy job. My daughter and her daughter are both teachers. My daughter is teaching third grad this year and my grand daughter is teaching first grade. The both love teaching. Thanks again for being a great teacher.
Thank you again Dan for another great video.
I have used your videos and suggestions as a guide to the items that I'll need for my travels around the country
Thank you again
Keep them coming! I love your vids teach!
We need more classes like this in schools. Great video Dan
Thanks!
I appreciate learning about this. Mind you, it's unlikely that I will ever be prospecting, but it's nice to learn about.
I love your approach, direct and to the point, learnt a hell of alot from you, got my garrett pan set today!!! Could you do a vid on gems one time? Like quartz and amethyst please?
Thank you for recording all of these.
Great class, wish you were teaching here at our local Community College! Thanks for posting!
cool videos! also useful... a small pry bar, and digging claw / small pick axe.
Thank you for sharing this information Dan.
Thank you for the great video's recently subscribed. It's nice to see you teaching this to students even though some look to be acting "difficult" with you. wish this class was offered to me when I was going through high school!
any chance of covering smelting? keep up the great work.
liam is awesome
Exactly, I am red head too and have had heat stroke twice. The first time I was cleaning out a vessel in the oilfield near edson, alberta and almost passed out. The 2nd time I was flat roofing with hot tar and it put me in the hospital. Also redheads are almost immune to any types of painkillers, tylenol wont even work for me if I have a headache. A doctor told me this not long ago.
Very useful and interesting information 🍻👏👏👏
You seem like a good teacher
i think its great that you get to teach the art of prospecting to our young people. and you living in a gold bearing area helps i am working with some guys in va who do the fishing events for kids on letting me introduce panning to them as well keep up the good work. where are you located
I recently started carrying toothbrushes in my backpack, you can take some of your toothbrushes and drill a small hole at the handle end and insert a small steel rod with the tip of the steel rod slightly bent for a crevice tool.. I have 3 with different gauge steel.. Lol.. and I also pack different size spoons
this is cool mate
Thanks for the informative vid...my mums a teacher with difficult students and couldn't have done a better job. Nice ' handling'
Always love to see new blood, hopefully the bug gets em. Great thing about ADD/ADHD digging relaxes.. thank you for your videos
Gold fever is spreading...
Still a cool video Dan!
Couldn't see your mini crevice shovel. Where did you get it, or did you make it?
I was thinking of modifying several deep bar spoons to various widths.
Please make up a first-aid kit that you would take with you prospecting, and then please tell us what’s in it, and why. Thank you!
What backpack is this? I'm looking for one but not sure what to get, your help would be awesome, thanks Dan!
thanks for letting me sit in your class dan, was that 7 buckets you carry ?
Usually only one bucket, and one bucket classifier. Sometimes I will take a second bucket stacked with the first.
If I Finish watching all 59 course videos DO i get a certificate?? Your 66 y/o student!!
Cool thanks
These kids have good questions
Do you every carry crevicing tools, rock pick hammer, pry bar etc in your pack?
Not typically, but I will if I know I will need them.
As a random person on the internet, thank you!
You're welcome!
My days of packing ventures are over. Good Rounded information. LOL, Anyone who says they've never lost a vile of gold or snuffer bottle are Liars ! Or never went panning more then a few times ? LOL And there you just completed your annual back pack inventory.
So true!
What kind of backpack is that
Ty
Have you ever thought of having a charcoal filtration water bottle with you ? instead of all the plastic bottles better for the environment and les wait you have to carry . but I love your videos keep up the good work
He brought a knife to school, you want me to forward this to the principal? I downloaded this video.
Sat phone might be good to have
Dan would get the S.W.A.T. team called out on him if he came to teach a class in the US with that backpack
Teacher cool dude
thx
and he still tosses his silver and platium away as well.
get rid of all the bottled water, buy a SAWYER filter ($20 U.S.) and one bottle, you have water for ever....
...er....too many areas used mercury and it's in the water.... don't think that filter will get it out...
fish poop in it too
That's what I was thinking. There's no longer a need to buy hundreds of bottles of water every year.
“Microscope Comment”
Anyone that didn’t see your Nov 5/19 livestream will be wondering about this comment. Just following Dans instructions!
Yep they drop their snuffer bottles . Went to my claim . Found one full of gold about 5 grams . Lol karma not your claim not your gold
Hello! I am a random person from the future.
Water,water,water aaaand water.
44 magnum works better than pepper spray
Good to see what you teach. So why did you and your wife settle in the hottest damn place in the province if the sun is so hard on you both?
Microscope
