Dan Hurd is a bit of a turd for not sending you the correct tube for your snuffer bottle.He is more into the big bucks now,and not a small time prospector.
Great video and a really interesting expansion on your content, @thubprint. Hunting for copper, brass, al-u-min-ium, silver and now gold. It's all a treasure hunt. Thanks for sharing!
Love gold panning. @Vo-Gus prospecting and @Buckshot Prospector are my 2 fav. Just wish I had somewhere near me I could go panning but in Kentucky, no gold.😢
I always enjoy a day spent at the river tossings some pans back and forth weather I find anything or not in Alberta Nuggets are a rare breed lol lots of tiny flower flakes! Beautiful spot for sure CheeRs Brother full watch as always! Ole Dan does make it look pretty easy lol
It’s my first day around here. Sup guys. Sold my first bag of copper to the scrap yard today. Dis guy finding free muneys got me hooked and eager to learn more 🎉
next time you go... those riverbanks with bedrock at the bottom, and gravel and clay on top... get into the gravel layer on those. Forget the river, thats been picked over to death. Gravel layer on bedrock up where the floods left it ages ago. Try that.
I;m with sunburst....a collab between mr "Well, Helloooooooo, Everyone"...and Mr. "Leave it better than you found it...and keep doing the thing"...would be a natural match!
Great summer video. You are such an interesting and inquisitive individual. Be safe out there. Even scenic travel blogs would be great at this time. There must be old logging and mining camps. Dan Hurd shares his experiences as well as his friend, Pauly. Be safe out there.😊😊😊
Inside of a curve or a stream is where it should settle! Dan Hurd works so hard for so little, so does MBMMLC., never give up! Keep on panning! You and Dan Hurd would be a great video combination! Not too mention Andy Thrax! Great technique for a newbie! Next you'll be traipsing down some hard rock mine with dynamite in your hand blasting and crushing and seperating! 5 gallon bucket with a couple of screens on top quickly seperates out the rocks and the fines, but then you're left with a 40lb 5 gallon bucket full of fines.... If you're serious about it, get a gold cube and run several 5 gallon buckets through it, Dan's got a vid on how to prep your gold cube. Get a bigger pan! Great job Thub! Loved the vid! Nice haul! Time to get a claim! Woohoo! Go for it! Sorry, kind of schizo comments, 2 beers in...
If you run a piece of allthread up through your siphon handle and put a good fender washer on either side of the head it will keep the piece in place and tie the whole thing together
I've watched Hurd pull gold and precious stones from the same stretch of the Fraser that I stand and fish. Last time out, I checked under every rock, every crevice and nook, and found just a few tiny garnets. The pros make it look easier than it is.
Good job drake I been panning there for years. One thing to watch out for is moss if you beat it in the pan you will be amazed on how much gold gets trapped in it. Also get yourself a garrett super sluice 15 inch pan use scotch brite pad or sandpaper to rough it up.
Glad to dee this activity. The wife and I have been recreational panners for years. You are right there are no panning reserves in Alberta but that is because Alberta does not have a mineral claim system. You can pan anywhere in Alberta. Much less gold in Alberta and the gold is much finer in Alberta, but there are a few places you can go and find some. I hope you do enjoy this as a new pursuit and would love to watch these adventures from time to time. The blocky piece that you put in with your garnets is most likely iron pyrite.
Oh that cold water looking sweet in this 100 degree heat wave we're having. Not bad for your first time Thub and it looked fun for the kids, gets there nose off their phones😂
Thub you the man! I don't know if you remember but a few years back I was sending you pictures of my gold finds on Facebook and suggesting you give it a try. Glad you are gold prospecting. Great video!
You can make A LOT of money up that way Thub, I used to watch ol Tom Massie on Gold Fever like 20 years ago lol and I ALWAYS remember him saying when the glaciers came down and spread the gold … of course my State - West Virginia- didn’t really get hit but WAYYY up there in Canada is like the source for gold/the glaciers that contained it… you could quite possibly get rich up there, depending on how you do it.. NOT saying you have to go full Discovery channel but you could do it
I have to say you did quite well for your first time and with a new shiny pan 🤦♂️ but yeah great video there's nothing like finding your first piece of gold.
Honestly great video a nice change from the normal what I do enjoy but also like watching gold panning should get in touch with Pioneer Pauly he is local to BC and know lot's of great spots.
What a awesome spot and time with your family. 👍 This was your first time, now you’re experienced so next time you’ll hit the mother load! 🤣 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦
Gee, Paulie - I think I saw them climb right up between your ears there in that nice warm water. Looks like you had fun, and it looks sort of meditative, too. I'd love to see more. Did Wub have fun, or is it all too tedious? Thanks for taking us along.
I'm finding all these thub videos that I didn't know existed until I watched a b.c. tree planting video and saw a thub video pop up and then a thub prospecting video? What the heck?😂
😆 ohh the back catalogue goes all over the place! Couple hundred videos at this point, and some of them are kinda good! Lol. Glad you’re finding some of the hidden gems 👍
deep squats are much better than resting on your knees tho, is probably why my legs are much fatter and overtrained compared to my weak arms but maybe some bodyweight exercises might even it out
My Crazy Canadian Bohemian Cousin, how hard you try. Now get a snorkel and go under them waterfall and start lifting rocks. They, gold will definitely settle there... Dang if I'm tempted to send another gift.
How did I miss this for a month? Consider the energy of a moving stream. The faster it moves, the more load it can carry. Drops in velocity equal drops in load. Point banks, boulders, tree roots, and moss are the easy spots. Try to identify places that most people won't think of. Pools, dropoffs, and when you can begin to identify anient stream beds your yield will rise. Best of luck. Check out Klesh. He has a shit ton of prospecting videos. Ask Jeff Williams is a Geologist's eye view of gold prospecting. Yeah, you're gonna get wet! Edit: the cubic form is likely pyrite
I'd love to watch this as a semi regular event.
Me too!
Yes!!!
Looks like you found some Pyrite too!
As a subscriber to both you and Dan Hurd, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and would love an actual collaboration with the 2 of you.
Dan Hurd is a bit of a turd for not sending you the correct tube for your snuffer bottle.He is more into the big bucks now,and not a small time prospector.
Hurr durr
You have to keep finding more and adding to it.
Two of my favorite things to do are dumpster diving and prospecting. This is awesome
Wubb is growing up VERY quick holy
I knowwww 😭
Great video and a really interesting expansion on your content, @thubprint. Hunting for copper, brass, al-u-min-ium, silver and now gold. It's all a treasure hunt. Thanks for sharing!
Thubber Band--you always bounce back.
Love gold panning. @Vo-Gus prospecting and @Buckshot Prospector are my 2 fav. Just wish I had somewhere near me I could go panning but in Kentucky, no gold.😢
Dude not a bad haul for your first time! The best part is you will only get better with practice and time. Keep it up love this
This was really cool!! I've always wanted to try that myself.
Gold: the rich scrapper's copper! I really enjoyed this, Thub!
This was great Thub, would definitely watch more of this on a semi regular basis!
Thank you! Even if the video doesn’t do super good I’d love to do one or two in the summers
I hope to live a life like your when I get my own house you are amazing good sir
This is the best gold planing and melting video I have found on TH-cam thanks @Thubprint
Did good dude!
Peace Prospector Tripp
Definitely love to see this again!
Thanks for documenting your process of trying something new. Trying new things can be really intimidating for a lot of people myself included.
I always enjoy a day spent at the river tossings some pans back and forth weather I find anything or not in Alberta Nuggets are a rare breed lol lots of tiny flower flakes! Beautiful spot for sure CheeRs Brother full watch as always! Ole Dan does make it look pretty easy lol
Awesome thub!!!! Totally enjoyed this!! Keep it up my friend!!!
It’s my first day around here. Sup guys. Sold my first bag of copper to the scrap yard today. Dis guy finding free muneys got me hooked and eager to learn more 🎉
Nice job! It’s super satisfying, just don’t let it take over your house and yard lol!
Haven’t seen wub in a while. That was a welcome surprise
next time you go... those riverbanks with bedrock at the bottom, and gravel and clay on top... get into the gravel layer on those. Forget the river, thats been picked over to death. Gravel layer on bedrock up where the floods left it ages ago. Try that.
Love the Dan Hurd shout out
💎💎💎 Love this video! I hope dan see this and invites you over to the famous fraser river!!
Pyrite is the cube. Fools gold, the cubes can get quite big actually too it's pretty cool.
I would love to see more of this
Let’s see more of this 🎉
Good effort mate, get urself a soil riddle so u can get rid of the large stones easier. Also look for black sand, generally gold follows it 👍
Cool !!!. Yes I had fun!.
Great video as per usual,😀,nice to see something different on your video,God bless you all,all the way from England uk,
You could boil toast and I'd watch because you educate, trial and error and keep going, humbly and confident. No one quite like you.
Failing forward! Thank you so much, I’m just here to have fun 😊
Great vid. Looks like a great time. I would be looking through all those rocks too.
What good fun. 👍
Off to watch 'Paint Your Wagon' now! Thub sings Gold Fever... noice.
That is actually very nice gold.
I loved your opening line. I wonder where I've heard that before. 🤔😂
😁👍
all types of treasure hunting are welcome! id love to see a seasonal gold panning video
A flat head soldering iron is a great way to clean off pins and fingers! FYI
My wife and I went gold panning on our honeymoon and managed to find a few nuggets! It was so fun - good to see you getting into it!
Yes I really enjoyed this video.
Would like to see more like this
That was pretty cool dude. It's the journey, not the destination.
That’s more gold than I’ve panned!😅
Good to get out and breathe some fresh air, smell the pines, and hear the rush of water.
Didn’t think I’d like this and started skipping through, but then i stopped cause this is really interesting stuff
Great video! I like when you do different things....
That was pretty cool. Thanks!
I;m with sunburst....a collab between mr "Well, Helloooooooo, Everyone"...and Mr. "Leave it better than you found it...and keep doing the thing"...would be a natural match!
I’m hoping to move that direction in the future!
This video is really gold…! :D

Thank you for doing this segment. Looking forward to more in the future.
More gold panning videos!
Pretty neat.
i love watching ask jeff williams myself
i love that you’re hanging out & having fun and brought us with you! love your videos!
And here I was expecting to see you recovering gold from e-waste..... Enjoyable video.
I've watched Hurd pull gold and precious stones from the same stretch of the Fraser that I stand and fish. Last time out, I checked under every rock, every crevice and nook, and found just a few tiny garnets. The pros make it look easier than it is.
Nice.. awesome! I had fun too watching u. Thanks for showing us this.. very interesting.. 👍
I got the Dan reference at the start :)

watch some pioneer paulie as well, and vogus prospecting has some good breakdowns for newbies
Unexpected cross over but i love your videos and I love prospecting. Also big fan of dan
I have to say you did quite well for your first time and with a new shiny pan 🤦♂️ but yeah great video there's nothing like finding your first piece of gold.
Prospector Thub💰
Honestly great video a nice change from the normal what I do enjoy but also like watching gold panning should get in touch with Pioneer Pauly he is local to BC and know lot's of great spots.
Way to get out there. Look at Thumbs little helper. She is huge now. Beautiful hair. She is tall enough to start basketball.
I like the guy in Tasmania Rob Parsons. He has some good luck. Dan is definitely different lol.
Enjoyed brother
What a awesome spot and time with your family. 👍
This was your first time, now you’re experienced so next time you’ll hit the mother load! 🤣
God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦
Looking forward to it!
Don't give up youre dag job!😂I remember my first time 54 years ago..... was not much better.
Gee, Paulie - I think I saw them climb right up between your ears there in that nice warm water. Looks like you had fun, and it looks sort of meditative, too. I'd love to see more. Did Wub have fun, or is it all too tedious? Thanks for taking us along.
Thub life ✌️ great vid stay golden brother ✌️
Oh no, Thub's got gold fever. We'll never see another dumpster dive again :)
Ohhh you can’t keep me out of the trash, I think y’all know that by now 😁
I'm finding all these thub videos that I didn't know existed until I watched a b.c. tree planting video and saw a thub video pop up and then a thub prospecting video? What the heck?😂
😆 ohh the back catalogue goes all over the place! Couple hundred videos at this point, and some of them are kinda good! Lol. Glad you’re finding some of the hidden gems 👍
Were you allowed to use a small sleuth box.
Nope only gold pan and shovel allowed as it’s a gold claim and owner won’t allow anything else
something is better than nothing so ya i liked it and would watch agin if ypu do it thank you for shareing have a great day
FYI People pan for gold in Edmonton on the north Saskatchewan River.
Do they really?? Well that’s a future road trip to plan for sure!
I’ve done quite well there in some spots, lots of flour gold
back in the 70's that creek was our nudie swimming hole. lol
No it wasn’t.
Good job. Aqua Donkey approved!
Yes Dan hurd hahaha
Another good video but, leave it better than you found it?
deep squats are much better than resting on your knees tho, is probably why my legs are much fatter and overtrained compared to my weak arms but maybe some bodyweight exercises might even it out
My Crazy Canadian Bohemian Cousin, how hard you try. Now get a snorkel and go under them waterfall and start lifting rocks. They, gold will definitely settle there...
Dang if I'm tempted to send another gift.
Hola Thub 👋
❤❤❤
leave it better than you found it, except little bit less gold :P
Nothing wrong with gold paining,do it on the dry months
You always say you will leave a link in the description, but you never do :( I still love your videos.
Oof, I definitely forgot to add it on this one 😅
I’ll update it quickly. I do sometimes remember though!
How did I miss this for a month?
Consider the energy of a moving stream. The faster it moves, the more load it can carry. Drops in velocity equal drops in load. Point banks, boulders, tree roots, and moss are the easy spots. Try to identify places that most people won't think of.
Pools, dropoffs, and when you can begin to identify anient stream beds your yield will rise.
Best of luck.
Check out Klesh. He has a shit ton of prospecting videos.
Ask Jeff Williams is a Geologist's eye view of gold prospecting. Yeah, you're gonna get wet!
Edit: the cubic form is likely pyrite
Why do you say you can't pan in Alberta? There's lots of people who do it up near Edmonton.
I didn’t know that until reading the comments on this video! Now I want to try 👍
😂. Hook up pioneer Pauly in your neck the woods. He like take new guys out and he seems pretty cool gold minner .
assuming 24k gold flakes, you made 3.35 CAD :P
Perfectly on brand: finding something valuable just lying around. Points out really how profitable your scrap mining really is?
Imagine how much gold you'd get If you did that every day for two weeks
