I wish I could pan with Dan that would be so humbling and such an AMAZING experience cause his whole persona and attitude is such a relief from today’s “Norm”!! Thanks for being such a EPIC person 🤙🏼
A good way to check for platinum in the field with either rocks or specks is with hydrogen peroxide. Put the rocks or pieces in peroxide and see if it bubbles. You can also prospect for platinum with a neodymium magnet, since platinum often alloys with iron. Platinum that does not alloy with iron will not stick. I subscribed. Thanks again.
@@woofielove1970 Haha "natural undisturbed" what do you think that means? That is not a naturally occurring culvert in the video! By the way that "muck" you refer to is the same dirt and rock that naturally run into that creek every time it rains!
@@woofielove1970 do you not realize that all settles once again? What do you think happens when a rock falls from a cliff? It muddy up the water. I swear some of you people always find an issue for no reason at all..
@@woofielove1970 no, it’s not different one bit. So many natural occurring things can cause the water to get muddy. Rockslides, mudslides, rainstorms, floods, deer walking in the water, just to name a few. Mud, dirt, rocks, sand, silt, that all settles back to the river floor, how do you think it got there? The water may look “pristine” but if you went under with goggles you’d see how much free floating silt there really is. What he’s doing is completely legal, in non protected areas on his claim. Take your toxicity elsewhere, he’s enjoying his life a lot more than you bum.
Interesting new claim! Really hope you'll find the platinum soon. I'm curious how your test samples turned out. The nature is gorgeous there! Love the wild flowers and the little waterfall. Thank you for taking us on a new adventure.
I love your positivity, my uncle was an archaeologist and Geography teacher. He taught me so much and was so enthusiastic. You remind me of him. Love your videos 👍🏼😀🇬🇧
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience. It was my dream to come up North to prospect. I cannot walk anymore, so living vicariously through your videos now. Keep up the good work!
Hi Dan!! I"ve been watching you for a few days.... and I subbed. I'm not gold/mineral crazy. I live in CA. I used to care for an older gentleman who had a bigger than fist size white rock with gold running through it. He had to go stay at the hospital and took his rock with for his bedside table. I asked a senior nurse if there was any risk of it getting stolen. The nurse laughed and said no risk. She had lived in CA for many years. She said the effort of getting that gold out of that rock was so difficult that it's only value was as a rock. And apparently, many people around there had a lot of those kinds of rocks with gold everywhere. I enjoy your vids for the scenary, and the science. I never knew crystals came out of red clay in Arkansas. You really get around. Thanks and see you in the next vid. HUGS
That was a nice outing afield Dan...ooh that area does look to have potential for soo much goodies...Congrads on new claims as well...those are aways exciting to explore and see...Nice wild flowers...Thanks for taking us along on the prospect.
Just got around to watching this one. Not disappointing at all. Still looks like you had fun hiking checking out all the wild flowers. Oh, Dan! About your poison oak/ivy situation, there is this stuff called Zanfel. It's a bit on the pricey side but it works incredible! Trust me I know. We have lots of poison oak here and I get it bad if I rub against it. I would not recommend anything else after finding this product. I keep a tube at home and one in my bag when I'm out hiking, just in case. Anyway, thanks for the video Dan. Looking forward to your next adventure.
I loved everything about this video. You have so much personality and a true love and respect for every aspect of the life you are surrounded by. I subscribed. Thank you so much! Looking forward to following your adventures 👍
Great video, Dan! I like that it shows the beginning of the prospecting process (well, after the research part), where you are trying to find the "good spot". It shows that not every trip yields something tangible. But, WOW, what beautiful scenery, wildflowers, pretty sparkly rocks, and amazing little creek!!
beautiful scenery all around...flowers, waterfall....gorgeous! Hope your claim turns out very well for you. Love learning new things and platinum is now the latest..thank you! If you do ever find poison ivy or oak...apple cider vinegar right away is really supposed to help....stinging nettle I am not sure about...we always just put up with it or jumped in the lake and rubbed downwards and sometimes with a handful of sand ..it seemed to cool it down
I love your attitude! So positive and fun to watch... Enjoying nature and not destroying everything just to get what you want... Thank you for the video!
Hey Dan, I found a 1/4 oz. platinum nugget with my metal detector up Canyon Creek above Canyon City, oregon.I also checked out some of the mines around Coalmont in 1973, kool area. There is platinum flakes in the Sultan river out of Sultan, Washington.
Once again Dan, you've totally managed to capture the extremely beautiful surrounds you're prospecting in. Canada is just so damned beautiful! Platinum, something I've never really thought about and thanks to you I now have a little more research to do. Need to find out where it occurs and how hard it is to detect. I cannot wait to see what you do with this new claim, it'll definitely help me with my research as it'll all be hands on with you. Cheers mate from the land of Aus :)
I like watching you pan for precious metals. But those wild flowers are so beautiful. You could make a living just filming flowers. Thanks for showing them off.
Interesting! I a out on the middle of the Great Plains of ND in the terminal moraine region of f the Laurentide Ice sheet. The topsoil is thick and black and heavily seeded with HUGE Erratics that rode the aforementioned icesheet from your beautiful country north of the 49th parallel. There is color everywhere we pan down here but you'd have to pan tons and tons everyday for decades to make enough money to buy a Happy meal.
This weekend im headed "hiking"(panning too) in a spot that has chalcopyrite it the ore thats every where and took a few pieces and smashed them and had some traces of gold. So im headed back. Thanks Dan for teaching things that i can retain and use in the field.
Thanks for your content Dan, I’m an absolute newbie to prospecting and have been eager and trying to learn as much as I can about geology and prospecting... fascinating and fun stuff anyways your a huge source of valuable information! Really appreciate you sharing your explorations and finds.
Loved the video. My hobby is fishing (in England) so I know all too well about putting in an entire day's worth of effort and coming home empty handed! Keep it up though, Dan!
I just looked up the process to purify platinum ore . Article said 7-9 tons of ore and 6 months to yield 1 Troy ounce bar. Multiple chemical, pulverizing, and heat steps to remove all the unwanted minerals. Palladium is going for record prices and Platinum Group Metals are often found together. Seems like you need high grade ore and deep pockets to mine and process those metals.
I'm guessing it's actually more Pacific Poison _Oak_ in those parts -- exactly the same toxic substance, though. Western Poison Ivy is generally shrubby, as is Pacific Poison Oak -- although there's a sort of sub-variety of Pacific Poison Oak that vines up trees, which the Western Poison Ivy doesn't do. :-) Western Poison Ivy has pointy tips on the leaves, and Pacific Poison Oak has lobed leaves which can turn quite red and shiny in late summer. For people not used to dealing with those plants, some advice: Be careful taking a leak in woods where that stuff grows -- do it, uh, _hands-free._ You do not want that stuff below the belt, trust me. It _can_ spread there _without_ direct oil contact, but it definitely will with it.
Poison oak can also grow into a tree, in and of itself! I learned this through a very, very painful backyard experience. The wood (of what I thought was a dead tree) turns a blackish color when cut. Fortunately, I knew there was Poison oak where I was, so I scrubbed well afterwards. Unfortunately, it was a very hot day and I had been sweating quite a bit. The next day, I could hardly see. Our backyard also has the vine type covering many of our oak trees. A stinging nettle poultice (applied through a heavy linen bag does help!
Is mica worth anything? When I was growing op in western North Carolina we always found big sheets of mica in the banks of rock and clay. This was on a old logging road behind our house in Maggie Valley N. C. That went up into the mountains. I am going to be up there for a few months in October and am going to some places I used to explore. I love the Smokey mountains. They are magical. Been in a lot of different mountain ranges but the Smokies are the best by far.
Do you ever watch Jeff Williams TH-cam channel? He’s a geologist explained in great detail on what to look for when searching for gold platinum or silver or other precious metals. That rock that you found great interest in when you were leaving the creek, look like what he was talking to be whatever the chemistry was to have lots of gold. Now I don’t know for sure all the chemistry that goes on to the final results, but I try very hard to understand though all people in surcharging of there findings.
That was a good demo running your highbanker to measure the gold recovery. I liked the gold owl the best. You have a great channel, keep up all the great work.
Just checking back with you and I’m glad that you found that one Micro scopic peace because everything we do in life starts out with the first one. You earned my subscription and my like a few videos back I’ll enjoy watching you for quite some time I’m sure.
Really enjoy your videos Dan! I've been looking at getting a claim on the tulameen river and starting to do a little metal detecting in the gravel beds. Hope we cross paths on the trail some day!
so jealous of the places you get to explore. I do hope Froggy remains happy and producing offspring. Frogs the world over are vanishing and that's just sad and it was awesome to see yours there. good luck with the prospecting!
We used to have our whole lawn full of tiny, tiny frogs every spring when I was a kid. We couldn't mow the lawn because it was full of migrating frogs. I haven't seen one in years... No toads either. I really miss them.
I think the "shiny rock" is a type of iron ore.. all I know for sure is if you cut and polish it it looks AMAZING! I'd take a gallon bucket of that black mica.. stuff would make some insane black metallic paint when finely ground. Poison oak has nice dark green shiny leaves with a dark red in them.. I should know, I was shoved into a big patch of it in 6th grade while taking a leak when we went on a nature weak thing.. Fun fact, at the time at least, I wasn't allergic to it.. bad part for them, they were.. and I happened to grab some when I saw it the next day.. I wonder how it ended up in their bunks... hmm..
I played in poison oak once when I was a kid with my brother and my grandma put some ointment on us but it turned out neither of us were allergic but she was and her hand was red for a while
Similar leaf structure, they're just finger leaves instead of fan leaves. No clue what it is but it's probably not cannabis, unless the ABC mutation has made it up into the wilds of Canada.
Oh no kidding! I lived in Princeton for quite a bit, did a little bit of gold panning in the Similkameen river. Visited Coalmont fairly regularly. Real cool bud!
Well I guess poison ivy is mortal to me cause it takes 30 seconds for me to be in agonizing pain and it worse and worse by the second and I get huge water blisters men and the way to get rid of it you put an entire bottle of dish soap into the tub and you submerge the affected areas and it works well take 5 minutes or so but you feel the pain going away but you are left with water blisters
It may be different for everyone as I see a blistery rash forming within about ten minutes of exposure. If I notice that I touched it and immediately wash up I usually get lucky, but if I don't I'll have a rash for a month or more covering most of my body.
This is my backyard, the land gives much. A lake a day as long as you stay so lots of fish, lots of berries, lots of fungus, Deer Moose Elk. BC is awesome. Oh yeah and lots of good stuff in the dirt.
You know Dan I love watching your panning videos but I love more is the videos you show of nature while making your panning video's. Absolutely beautiful lol waterfall and country, just beautiful. Oh yea good luck funding the platinum, hope you find a ton
I love leaving the city and going out into the wilderness. Places like that little garden of flowers by the creek are things you miss if you only spend your time in the city.
One time years ago at an estate sale I bought a bunch of silver jewelry for alot of money. England stuff and very old. Little did I know most of it was platnum. I went to get some melt down for my silver drawer and an honest man at the jeweler whisper to me , hey this stuff is mostly platinum , not silver. I never knew , I was disappointed , then he said it's worth more than gold too. WOW. I got ripped off from the first place I sold it too , they also checked it and lies , told me it's silver . I ended up with over 26 thousand in platinum . Even the family selling the estate was sure it was only silver. All was unstamp very old platinum. I love the look of platinum as well for chains or rings. Thanks for share. Great you can mine for this stuff. Platinum is allways worth more than gold .
Thanks for sharing your prospect adventures with us, even if they aren't successful. Gives a reality check... love the scenery. You live in a beautiful part of the world. Try Technu for poison ivy. The liquid that smells like fish oil works better than the sprays and crimes. It was developed by one of the depts (conservation, maybe) years ago. I apply it before adventuring out, then again afterward. Wash it off with water as hot as you can tolerate, then repeat. It speeds up the drying of blisters that have escaped the wash process, as well. Good luck.
before i saw the frog at 7:45 i was listening to that noise, thinking it could be a woodpecker, but thought no, that's a frog or something. And as you showed the frog, the sound stopped and I was correct in my assumption! Damn i'm so smart
I am just starting to prospect and came along your video. I hope if I have questions maybe you could help me out. The Rick's to look for are what I am trying to figure out, as well as how to separate gold and silver without losing the silver. That's how I came across your videos, subscribed and will be happily watching your vids. Thank you for your knowledge!
Your great ! You've taught me a hell of a lot and I got my first nugget or flake I don't know what you call it I'm not sure what it is let me figure out if there's a way I can send a picture

Utter nonsense.
Iron oxide will also catalyze hydrogen peroxide reduction.
Also works with peanut butter

That was a beautiful little creek! I love how many different wild flowers were all in the same place. Glad you didn’t get hurt when you fell.
This guy is a good business man. He’s running a big TH-cam channel that’s adverser friendly by finding rare metals and gems all day.

What a beautiful little waterfall, surrounded by wild flowers.. 👌 lovely land to roam.
I am highly allergic to poison ivy and it takes several hours after exposure for any signs to appear.
Well I guess poison ivy is mortal to me cause it takes 30 seconds for me to be in agonizing pain and it worse and worse by the second and I get huge water blisters men and the way to get rid of it you put an entire bottle of dish soap into the tub and you submerge the affected areas and it works well take 5 minutes or so but you feel the pain going away but you are left with water blisters

It may be different for everyone as I see a blistery rash forming within about ten minutes of exposure. If I notice that I touched it and immediately wash up I usually get lucky, but if I don't I'll have a rash for a month or more covering most of my body.
You just don't want to skip anything of this👌🏻 this guy is doing what we all say we will do "someday". You're the man Dan!
8:47 my blood pressure dropped substantially.

Gotta say I love your upbeat personality Dan!

Haha you're right.. amazing how ppl spot things we normally don't see until being told (bottle left too the middle) 😁✌️
There I was watching funny cat videos and gold panning came on. Now I'm hooked.
As you're walking I see lots of herbal medicine and wild edibles

Hippie
@SilverHaze Nv everywhere is.
This is my backyard, the land gives much. A lake a day as long as you stay so lots of fish, lots of berries, lots of fungus, Deer Moose Elk. BC is awesome. Oh yeah and lots of good stuff in the dirt.
@Max Power 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful locations, friendly to animals and a fun personality.
I love your videos!
I shudder to think of all the gold and platinum I've walked over here in Montana.
Ditto

I've gone for hikes without even thinking of prospecting, got home and looked at my boots and seen gold flakes stuck to the rubber lol
You know Dan I love watching your panning videos but I love more is the videos you show of nature while making your panning video's. Absolutely beautiful lol waterfall and country, just beautiful. Oh yea good luck funding the platinum, hope you find a ton
He’s looking for my Platinum temple I made
I love leaving the city and going out into the wilderness. Places like that little garden of flowers by the creek are things you miss if you only spend your time in the city.
sign of the victims of the public school system...making a stream muddy even requires you to say anything
That's stupid. It's respect/reverence for nature, life. A sign of an evolved creature. Which means anyone without this respect is.. still developing.
You're a good guy Dan, I truly enjoy your company.
Thank You !
One time years ago at an estate sale I bought a bunch of silver jewelry for alot of money. England stuff and very old. Little did I know most of it was platnum. I went to get some melt down for my silver drawer and an honest man at the jeweler whisper to me , hey this stuff is mostly platinum , not silver. I never knew , I was disappointed , then he said it's worth more than gold too. WOW. I got ripped off from the first place I sold it too , they also checked it and lies , told me it's silver . I ended up with over 26 thousand in platinum . Even the family selling the estate was sure it was only silver. All was unstamp very old platinum. I love the look of platinum as well for chains or rings. Thanks for share. Great you can mine for this stuff. Platinum is allways worth more than gold .
Thanks for sharing your prospect adventures with us, even if they aren't successful. Gives a reality check... love the scenery. You live in a beautiful part of the world. Try Technu for poison ivy. The liquid that smells like fish oil works better than the sprays and crimes. It was developed by one of the depts (conservation, maybe) years ago. I apply it before adventuring out, then again afterward. Wash it off with water as hot as you can tolerate, then repeat. It speeds up the drying of blisters that have escaped the wash process, as well. Good luck.
The red flowers are like Indian paint brush an I have a picture of some from Colorado so pretty
First time watcher. I appreciate your sunny disposition good sir! :) And really respect just how much knowledge you seem to have! Wishing you well :)
before i saw the frog at 7:45 i was listening to that noise, thinking it could be a woodpecker, but thought no, that's a frog or something. And as you showed the frog, the sound stopped and I was correct in my assumption!
Damn i'm so smart
Sure nice seeing those Lupis still flowering Dan . Ours on Van Isl are almost all done .
I am just starting to prospect and came along your video. I hope if I have questions maybe you could help me out. The Rick's to look for are what I am trying to figure out, as well as how to separate gold and silver without losing the silver. That's how I came across your videos, subscribed and will be happily watching your vids. Thank you for your knowledge!
love that you show nature around you.. the main reason I watch..
I just found your videos today and I believe I am addicted. Thank you.
Your great ! You've taught me a hell of a lot and I got my first nugget or flake I don't know what you call it I'm not sure what it is let me figure out if there's a way I can send a picture
TH-cam searching prospecting and Dan Hurd gets the top spot on the search
Love love the sound in this video. Thanks for sharing.
