- Helicopter to the top of the mountain to investigate the Pinolite deposit that creates all the pinolite boulders in the valley bottom. We bag up and recover 4000 lbs of this great new Semi precious gemstone. This is one of the highlights of the summer for myself, my wife Dayna, and our son Evan. What an amazing trip. And a lot of very valuable stone too!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: That's a mighty big rock sack, sir!!! Just seeing all those pinolite makes me "Snoopy Dance"! (...imagine Peanuts' " theme song here.) 🥾🥾🥾🥾
Imagine a floor tiled in Pinolite.
Looking down drunk would suck
Or in Crocidolite
That's some fancy bilionare kinda thing that I would understand
That's a seriously good idea tho
What about pinolith?
These are one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, and yet never heard of
First time I have heard a "rock hunter" says; that no more in the bag so the helicopter can lift it out :)
For the first time ever, Dan, im officially jealous. You could have a 20-pound nugget, and I'd be happy for you but not jealous. But man, that view and to be in those mountains. Yep I'm jealous.
I totally agree with the guy when he said pictures doesn't do it justice. It seems to be always that way when you find large mineral deposits. It's like you found the mind of the seven dwarfs off of the original Snow White, and there's some strange magic spell on it that makes it not come out in photos or film.
Thanks for taking the time to film, Dan! Thus allowing us to come along. Breathtaking is all I can say. The geology lesson was awesome. I could listen to you talk while seeing it, loved it. 👍 to the family, what a wonderful day in the life
I loved this one. I work on helicopters for a living 😊
Interesting that the pinolite outcropping is rounded and shows no breakage.
Your wife’s rock at ten min is best. 🤠
Dan you're very likeable lad sir I "dig" the energy.. subscribed
Absolutely gorgeous landscapes to prospect in. I'd love to try carving Pinolite. It looks like it'd take a drill nicely, though with it's variable Moh's hardness, I'd have to be careful the kinds of detailed figures & shapes I'd try carving. I like the tightly-defined black & gold fans in terms of colour. It seems more elegant to me, though the pieces where the crystals start tiny & gradually grow larger in a single stone look amazing, no matter what colour they are. 😊
Now thats quality family time!
i really appreciate the "fun" Dana and Evan add to the channel.
You never disappoint Dan. Ive loved your videos since the very first one. Glad to see you and your family enjoying your adventures together. I have a very old memory of my great great grandmother making me italian star soup.. on her wall in her kitchen was a picture of the family.. the frame was made from pino. They sell well. You should make some.
You need a second video per week. Can't get enough of you Dan.
he needs to spend time with his family
Pinolite? Pino-heavy! Great video Dan! You really got high for this one…😁 I truly enjoy these long videos.
Aw! You brought a real rock hound with you 😂. Loved the amazing rocks!

Well, Dan, I was born 74 years ago on this day. Greetings from the BIG SKY.
What a wonderful adventure!
Talk about living life to the fullest 😄👍
The views where especially breathtaking this video 🕊🇬🇧
I need a Dan Hurd in my life, but I'll settle for watching for the meantime
3/4" thick and 6x6 or 12x12 inches square with a polished surface. That has got to be worth something.
what an entry, can not be better.
I would love to have some of those weathered chunks of stone, for a pump fed stream and garden pond! While they are not really hard to find, the ones in the video have a lot of character, and they deserve to be centerpieces or at the very least focal points! A but of moss, and some native flora, make the scene perfect!
I love your enthusiasm about the Geology of the area as well as collecting specimens. Glad I found your channel to follow your adventures.
I would love to go on an adventure like this with you. It would be a bucket list item for me. Amazing amazing amazing!!!
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
I REALLY LIKE how you showed the after product of the cut and polished rock when we are looking at it on the mountain lots of work into that !
this was just wow!! Love the rocks and the view. How amazing!
Always a good watch, thanks Dan. 👊
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻
Thank you Dan for taking us with you. When you went to
Cliff and George's claim. Thank you to both of them for making this possible.❤
Go Dan!!! 🎉🎉🎉 What a dream come true!! What beautiful mineral specimens 😮😮😮💕
What an Awesome video! Thnx for sharing Dan. 💥
Thanks for another great video....
Spectacular views, and so much geology... everything is big in BC.....
That' sure is a truckload of that stone....
And to think there's gold up there as well...
Fascinating stuff.....
Wow Thanks Dan! Awesome.
I’m staring the Purcells and Rockies right now, there’s definitely something to be said about the “magic” make up of the area, further south along the range they also used to pull uranium out. The history here is unreal when you dig deep enough, and there’s still a lot of unexplored potential here if you know where to go. Cheers Dan, love seeing my stomping grounds in your videos, also that creek your on is where I first panned for gold my self when I was wee boy.
Great video Dan
Wow what fun!
cool scenery
This is one of your many videos I enjoy. Penolite, Helicopter, friends and the best part is with your family! Keep this contents up Dan!
Incredibly cool!
I have to admit that I am a little jealous. Thanks for all the videos.
I love the fresh air when up so high in elevation.
Amaizing
I love rockhounding and prospecting for gold, but forget all of that I'd just love to be up there in the mountains where it's inaccessible except by helicopter and really dedicated people on foot.
Dan that would make some sweet countertops if you could find a piece long enough
Thanks for sharing ❤
Great info.! Scenery great too.
Wow! Such beautiful rocks and the view up there awesome!
Good show Dan i enjoyed it .
Amazing landscape friend interesting video please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 😊
Another great video!
alpine plants are pretty cool indeed
It's amazing what you can see from the air!
WOW!!! EXCITING!
When the chopper lifts a bag, can a pilot see how much it weighs? (For safety reasons)
Also, did a bag ever rip in mid air, dropping a whole load of stones?
Incredible video. Super cool to see what you can find up on the top of mountains. Thank you for this.
Is the graphite inside the rocks enough that you can burn them, or at least get the graphite parts to burn?
I haven't tried. But why would you want to. ? With a torch ?.
I did this back in the 80's in Saline Valley. The Pilot was amazing - he (a Vietnam Veteran) landed the bird on a perch of rocks inside the canyon with less than a foot of clearance from the helicopter blades!
Good morning Susan Turcotte
I go hunting in the Rockies and its pretty cool to see the geology up close, all the different formations and layers and rock types. Ive found ammonites, brachiopods, coral etc and theres fossil fields of marine fossils too but Ive never seen em. I wanted to try gold panning up there but the weather always gets cold and snowy so everything freezes up.
If you go through Todd Hoffman's tailings up in Fairplay, you would probably become a rich man.
i will enjoy this Dan.
Those views are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for showing us
Love watchin his adventures!!
Top work 🥂🍾
Morning Reg Labbe
Interesting looking rocks
That’s some pretty stone
Very cool!⛏️⛏️
Great Video,, that stuff is so cool, I see what you are saying, that with make some great tile
Dan I'm loving this series!
Actually, I love all of your videos.
I was wondering about the air up there, and you answered my question!
#GLOTD are great!
Thanks Dan nice set of rocks from the ocean and not the top of the world ! I have a layer of Calcite with Granite on one side and limestone on the other side. From the top of Mt. Franklin in El Paso, TX from the 50's.
Outstanding and beautiful adventure!
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
the kid has now skill and eye for specimen lovely . keep it up kiddo you ll be an expert with a bright futur soon
I need some bookends of this!
Filmed on my birthday right on Dan!
Thanks gor filming 5his on my busy ahaha I turned 40 September 16
Make sinks and bath tubs out of that, how cool!
I had a dream last night I was in a gravel pile looking for minerals..and I found a piece of Pinolite... 😂 Thanks Dan!!! 😆😆
Great video by the way ❤
I'm here ready to watch
So awesome and inspiring seeing you doing big things! Now that’s an adventure! Thanks for sharing Dan!!
Very beautiful, I recommend bottle oxygen helps me on trips to Colorado
I hope you find this much ocean picture stone. Good luck
Wow!! What an adventure!! Those rocks are awesome!! Thank you for taking us along!
Dan, you should recommend they use a high pressure air piston to move those bigger rocks instead of the helicopter, provided its legal there. just dig a hole under it, hook it up, and fire away. a little jerry rigged jack oughtta be a lot more efficient than chopper fuel.
That is definitely ankle break alley. Wow. I am way too clumsy to be up there runnin around.
Wild West, super! How I like it all
Watching always from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
:) up up and away in a chooper, like Tony beats on wee prospecting trip lol
so cool!!!!!
Just goes to show, that gold is not the only thing that is gold. Rock on.
Top of the world!
I've seen Pinolite (or a similar mineral around the Mount Larcom district in Near Gladstone Qld. It was also sedimentary rock uplifted by volcanic process. As well as pinolite wasn't uncommon to find bivalve imprints in basalt rock in the same area.
FInding valuable minerals in paradise and then plowing under paradise to get them!
Amazing love them well done guys ❤️👍
be safe high mountain is hard on the heart
What an adventure!!! One of your best videos!!!
Wow!
very interesting, Here in The Netherlands you dont have bedrock. What a shame. also no nature like this and no stones etc. Thanks for the vieuw! and lessons.
can you see the amount of rokcs ready to be sorte, insane
Nice content bro
