Is this new gold deposit worth it?

- After my success with the Midway Gold mine, I am out looking for the next big deposit. This new site I am working on with two other miners and it will hopefully turn into something we can turn into the next big deal. But first we need to put in the boots on the ground prospecting work. Here is my first big sample.

Man the scenery is breathtaking, gold or no gold that still makes for a beautiful day
YEs love being out there.
If I ever get a gold mine I would buy stuff from Jason. He seems like an honest guy that would do his best to work out what you need.
Go and visit Dan.?
That and his efforts to get the technology of gold recovery without mercury use to places in Africa. It's great to see he really considers lowering the environmental impact of ore processing.
I would check the reviews on his equipment before you dedicate that much money on something that people don’t seem to like or don’t last. If you got 20k to throw away buy a car or some kind of investment. I love his videos but after all the negative reviews that real customers have left I wouldn’t buy nothing from him. With that being said I will watch his content no problem. I don’t mine nor have any interest in the future so I’ll never be interested in buying something from him anyways. Just like any kind of investment you always do research you don’t go off some one’s word or personality. Who cares how some one acts on camera that don’t mean Jack shit in the real world.
Jason is obviously honest and knows his stuff. Very streamlined systems.
He definitely would see you right
It is all about testing, proving, and most important is TEACHING. There is a ton to be learned with every video.
And sitting down with a friend and having a beer
Great collaboration. Can't find two nicer guys and they work well together. Love these videos. Both channels are great.
Sunday and Dan again! Your channel is sooo relaxing, educational, a great start for a Sunday morning!
Glad you like it.
I don't prospect. I have no intention of ever prospecting. However, I've been watching Dan's, and now Jason's videos for over a year and I can't get enough. I just love watching the process and I'm always hoping Dan gets a good haul.
Same here sadly I don't live near any precious metal deposits so I live vicariously through these guys.
The brittle lead button does show that the sulphides are plentiful. You should remember to add an iron nail into the crucible so the sulphides do not report to the lead, which can cause some gold loss during cupellation.
Dan and Jason the dynamic duo of TH-cam videos. You guys are great entertainment. We learn a lot too!
there aint shit in that quartyz bud
@@bilboblumpkin here in america we have wike leaks not min files.....wiki leaks is like haven "min files" , kinna. But, from, all the countries... LOL, plus , some of the royal fams personally recorded data lol jk
@@cuzbizkets3631 wtf is wike leak
Love watchinģ you and Jason..working together..teaching & explaining to us 'dummies'..I thank you both for teaching and sharing your knowledge!
I would give anything to be right there beside you both..learning and digging n processing!
When are you going to do a joint venture together on a claim? From searching & finding, filing the claim, setup and mining /processing?
That would be so educational..I know and realize you both have businesses to run n families to support but ..miracles do happen for those of us that cannot do what the both of you do!
Thank you both for teaching & sharing your knowledge and crafts with us!
I just watched your video, Dan. First of all, it's beautiful scenery with a hillside of quartz to play in! I think I saw a piece of gold sticking out of a piece you held up to the camera at approx. frame 7:38. There's a bluish quartz center top aiming downward, and you should see it almost the center of the rock on the upward aiming brown quartz. I don't know if you have seen it (or maybe I'm wrong).
I applaud your expertise, as well! I learned what molten, moving smelted material is called. I always wondered about that!
I'm so sorry I missed the gathering of the Hurd Herd. I missed everyone! May you always be blessed in future discoveries!
Dan and Jason have some of the coolest jobs, imo. Working together in these videos are the best
I think you mean 0,121g/100kg not 0,121g/ton. Just to clarify your little error when you said it in the video. Nice to see you got some gold from that new claim. Good luck.
This is so much more fun to watch😊 than all the gold mining series on tv with 80% drama and 20% gold mining.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻 greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Love these hard rock videos! There aren't too many on YT so keep producing them 👍
It must be great to be able to use the more professional equipment when you testing. Turns hours of hard work into minutes of minimal effort. Jason and Dan I love both of your shows, there’s gold in them there hills!!!
It really is!
I love this mighty duo!
I LOVE these collab videos! Keep 'em commin' guys! 😀
Best of luck to you! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Awesome video Dan, I love learning about this stuff :)
I love the fact that rain or shine you guys are not afraid to get wet or be in the cold weather and get it done regardless.
Boy I hope so! Good luck Dan!
It makes me happy to see how well the channel is doing. Keep up the great work.
I just love watching you guys work together! Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
2 of my favorite channels continuing to partner up. Love it!!
Love watching your videos. I learn something everytime. It is so interesting. Thanks!
Love the collabs with you and Jason. I enjoy both your channels. Thank you.
Hey Dan,
A video like this is so interesting and informative.
Thank you
loved this segment Dan!... thanks mate!
Awesome job Dan! Thanks for another visit with Jason!
So glad you explained the why so well here because that was a lot of work for so little gold.
Afternoon Dan and Jason glad to see both of you and good luck on everything there
Dan and Jason bringing the top notch content as always, well done.
Enjoy every time you and Jason work together!
Thank you 🤗
Good to see your still excited about what you do Dan. I’m amazed at what you got from just rocks on the side of the road.
great job guys two of my favorite gold learning channels
Dan, another great video. You and Jason do wonderful things together.
Great Vid Dan & Jason ! Looking forward to further vids from that claim.
I have watched both people for some time and I love how they are constantly learning new things and sharing them with us.
Another great episode. Love to see that shaker table!
Been watching Jason from Mount Baker almost as long as you. I was so glad when you two hooked up and started doing content together! Thanks for combining placer and crushed ore mining. Gives us the best of two worlds to check out. 👍
I'm so glad you and Jason collaborate.
I like how you explain to the simple folk about the abstract concept of information having value.
I learn so much from you, all the time. I love your channel 🖤🖖🏻
Enjoyed seeing the process you go through with the quartz gold. Thanks for sharing. ✋
My pleasure!
We love you Big Dan😀Thank you for the great show
Nice video Dan always good to. You and Jason. He definitely has the equipment for making the job easy can't. Wait for the next one stay dry and warm
Ive been deep diving Jason's channel and learning and enjoying so much. Just watched him take a skaker table to Africa and climb down into a hand dug mine. I live in NW Montana and think that there are several places that could hold gold. Lots of old hand dug mines long since abandoned. Love your great energy Dan. Watching in NW Montana
I just love it when Dan can read the rocks. Music to my ears.
Crush, crush & Shack, shack.
Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
Thanks for the explanation Dan!
I'm not really a rock or gemstone person but recently was looking at birth stones and being born in June I have pearl (not really a rock right?) and alexandrite. I have never looked at alexandrite. Welp after seeing how it changes color depending on lighting I ordered a 10ct stone to do something with. What a cool stone and not too expensive either.
This is awesome. I watch both of these channels. To finally see the second video from the smelt.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Knowledge is gold! Thank you much.
I love the collabs with Jason!!! Have a great week!
Thank you! You too!
I see you've hit 1.01M already, it ain't goin' nowhere but up with videos like this. It's even cold down here in Fl, hope you enjoy your hibernation!
Thanks for all your hard work making these videos to show us what is involved in prospecting. I think we are all learning lots.
Very welcome
Raining buckets outside right now and I'm with Dan on a hillside that looks exactly like many logging roads from northern Cali to Alaska.
"Every where I look I see Quartz" says Dan.
I may not find deposits like that but I will be grabbing a bucket here and there when available in a shotgun pattern.
Your Processing day is what it looks like outside, further reminder of why I love the Gold Miner content producers. They are on the hunt in any weather, any time cu'z they believe in the prospect of finding the smile in a pan. Heck what a better way keep warm up on a rainy Sunday.
Later - Best of Luck on the next Adventure -
I'd absolutely love to spend a few days with you and your crew. So fascinating! I've learned quite a bit watching your videos. Got me looking at and questioning what's on my property.
We are keeping very warm, we are in summer thank you. Love looking at your videos so does my 10 year old son
Love the intro Dan and of course the video and just checking in from nebraska thank u Dan
Thanks for the explanations to the people about the concept of investing in finding information/prospecting. You explained it well!
Our pleasure!
Dan Hurd, I must say that You have taught me a lot about mining gold that I never thought about and there is so much to do just to get a small amount. However mining just small amounts adds up in the long run. I've been watching your videos on TH-cam now for about a year or so past and present ones, the education you give me is amazing and I am truly grateful for all you do. Have a wonderful day, week, month and year Dan. You Rock!!!!!
Great video Dan and Jason! Thanks 🍻👍
Our pleasure!
Nearly missed this one. Always enjoy.
Brand new hammer mill & shaker table....nice!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, knowledge is the most important part of gold mining
So glad to see the use of the wd40 in the cone mold!! Was trying to find a way around that problem for a couple years now. Thank you. Ya learn something new every episode! Thanks Dan and Jason. 👍
That was very interesting and insightful. I wish I was in a similar situation
I hope your new ground provides you with many gold coins Dan 😉 love the videos on what it takes to prove up ground for values.Another great video Dan 👍
Great to see some grassroots hard rock gold prospecting in BC. I think there are lots of possibilities for hard rock videos that show the whole process - not just chipping away in established adits. You could even show other methods such as soil sampling, heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) - see the Eugene Dodd hard rock prospecting reports, he is from Enderby and has developed a HMC method for sampling road cuts that doesn't require any assays in the initial state. Good stuff!
I would kill not really but close, to do an apprenticeship with you. You're knowledge is bar none. Love all your content. Thanks for bringing us along.
Just fascinating process.
Love how the vacuum dances with colours
That Jason’s a good guy! Luckily he doesn’t mind playing in the rain 😉😁. Great video Dan, thank you for sharing.
I have watched every video of MBMM Jasons videos, what a ride ! Great video Dan cheers, and thanks for introducing us to Jason.
Our primary smelter charges 100+ tonnes per hour and you should see how they mix the fluxes and cons lol, Trucks layer different cons on the ground and layer different fluxes and materials then this machine comes along behind and mixes it all up and trucks truck it to the furnace to gulp it all in at 100tph to be turned into a liquid slurry and then off to another furnace to be further smelted and out from the hole at the bottom flows thousands of tonnes of liquid metal. fun hot stuff on a 44 degree celsius day.
Awesome you guys congrats.
Jason is a cool friend !
Love how your sharing joy. I think I am on the lowest patron tier. Plan to head up to lake superior here in Michigan to pan some of that Black magnetic sand. oh I love the rock hounding stuff too. Thanks
I watch both of your shows alot. I hope to bring Jason a load from my mine in Montana and see what we can get out of it too for gold and silver.
Cool video guys. Keep on Crushing!!! Lol
Gracias por compartir tu experiencia parcero saludos desde colombia 🇨🇴
When I see Dan's or Jason's stuff come up I immediately like them before I watch them. They are that good and I may forget if I dont.
That setup looks like fun. One day I'll need an assay!
That Jayson is a very nice guy. Thanks for the video Dan .
OUTSTANDING INFORMATION!
Another excellent video Dan.
Excellent and through video. Check your contact zones next to your quartz intrusions. Probably just pyrite?
That view was beautiful 👍🏼.
Raise your hand if you like Dan Hurd 🤚

Those clouds are amazing.
Thanks Dan, fun stuff to watch
Glad you enjoyed it
Colabs with Jason is great. Now I can’t wait until Spring
Another great video Dan!
Thanks
Thanks for another educational video, Dan! 😀
My pleasure!
Let Jason smelt and cupel some of that so we can see how rich it is Dan! Watched Jason's Kenya mining vid yesterday. You can always tell we real Western Washingtonians and BC Canadians as we don't even notice when it's raining.
Nice! I sampled across a foot wide, vertical quartz vein across a claim in Idaho for the now defunct Bureau of Mines. It assayed came back 6oz/ton. Came back the next year and the claim owner had pulled out all of the vein he could, legally, without wrecking the slope or going underground and he was crushing and spinning on site. He probably made millions...
You're looking at the rocks and i'm geeking on the trees that would make great Bonsai
Great view, love seeing the crushing
Love your video's Dan!
That little red micro fungus on the rock in the beginning was awesome. Would have loved a micro pic of that. Fungal gold lol
Love the videos man. Wish that I could go on an adventure with ya one day
Very nice. Jason is just around the corner from me. I never knew. 👍
Love the collaborations with Jason of MBMMLLC! It would be pretty epic if one day you ran a small production run on one of your best veins. Maybe ask if you could borrow his truck mounted setup that just runs the crush through a pop'n'son sluice. It would probably be a huge hassle to permit the thing, but it sure would be neat to see a "small scale" hard rock mine just picking away near the surface...
OMg DAN YOU HAVE 1 million subs! Been watching you for years.
