- As far from civilization I have ever been and DISASTER! A tree almost takes off Dad's arm and pierces almost right through it. Prospecting can be dangerous. But can also be VERY rewarding. Check out these finds as Dad bleads through his field bandages.

Renamed "Dad Hurt Prospecting"
Hello friends, greetings from me
😅
🤣😂😅😆😷🤕👍LOL💪
Hahah good one😂
👏👏👏👏
I can’t even begin to say how much it warms my heart to see such real family fun going on in these videos. I have a strong suspicion that the Hurd family is in fact, the real deal!
Your dad is a heck of a guy, hope he's healing well!
Are you going to be selling the bluegreen double? Top right corner at 22:20. It’s beautiful! Didn’t see it on the website 🤞🏼
I've repaired some nasty wounds with superglue.
cpl things,
1: as a business, mine owner, There is a REQUIRED First Aid station with a pretty well stocked 1st aid box: IT THE LAW, not sure if certification required of at least one employee on site.
2: my bet, Dan as former teacher at least certified in CPR, if not also 1st responder 1st aid..as a Construction foreman, superintendent, I was certified in both...
3: if life threatening, they have life flight helicopter EMT services
"We're good, I can lift a beer...er.. Water bottle..." Someone's having a little too much fun prospecting!
Amazing to what lengths you and family go through to in order to bring us thunder eggs! When I see these stones on for sale I have more respect for what goes into bringing them into my local rock shop.
How in the world do you find such a fruitful site so remotely located? Research of the geology to a fine point? This is the most fascinating aspect of this video. Thanks for such a great family adventure.
Oregon
Very scenic very beautiful very fresh airness...looks like fun...I bet bird watching or just animal watching must be nice out there.
Your dad has a high constitution score because he seemed to shrug off a gash that needed 10 freaking stitches. That's just badass! I think we found our barbarian or fighter for the next dungeons and dragons campaign! 🤣
Yeah, I thought it was just a bad poke in the arm from a stick, not a 10 stitch gash.
Hope your dad is okay! He’s such a gem. ❤️
Hello friends, greetings from me
That’s an impressive 385,000 carats
Some of your most beautiful finds today. Lovely to see three generations all working together, hope your dad's arm heals soon!
You have a amazing wife Dan. Always helping with the heavy stuff when needed.
so many quality stones you find there.
My dad was a plasterer and knew all about perlite.
I'm glad to see you're okay enough to post.... hope you're well again soon!
Hi Dan Good to see your Pops is going to be ok. Good to see Family adventures in the great outdoors ,cool gems you all discovered 🥳 🌝
The one with all the blue looks like a map.
Definitely enjoyed this video. Those thunder eggs are beautiful. It's also interesting how they form. Thanks for sharing Dan. And I hope you're dad is ok.
Glad to see your dad is ok. I would like to hear what the Magistrate had to say about the rock hounders
I think having a family that enjoys doing hobbies together is wonderful!
I never could get my family interested in doing the hobbies I like doing, gold panning, and rock mining, among other things.
What about they hobbies they like doing?
Fantastic video as always Dan. Those thunder eggs are just incredible. I hope your dad is doing well and thank you so much for taking us on another exciting and very cool adventure. Take care and be well.
What fun to dig dirt! Hope dad recovers soon. Thanks 😊
Glad dad didn’t get to bang up. Looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for another great show!
This place is far from crowds and public facilities, such as hospitals.
We had geodes back home in Texas. Small crystals inside. Glue in tiny pewter creatures in there. People bought them.
S and a whole surprise egg!
Someone has been poaching your thunder eggs… at least you got a wheel barrow in compensation… Dang claim-jumper’s.
Glad your dad’s arm wasn’t too bad. I admire his toughness! @13:50 FUMBLE!
Absolutely beautiful scenery!
That site is loaded! I think that perlite 'puffs' when you hit it with a torch, as the water flashes. I have always wanted to try it.
This this sounds bad I hope your okay!
Love seeing that BC Interior landscape...
Summertime is so purty....
Wow!!! Gorgeous finds! Watching the effort in this video has triggered a need for a nap.
Was the trail from the pervious claim owner or jumpers? That looked like stuff from this season.
Prayers for him. Hope He gets better fast! Love the show!
Dan I love the way you have turned mining and rockhounding into a family activity lol. It’s so cool 😎! I have recently started to poke around my neighborhood for anything cool! After I get a claim in Oregon where I live my daughter and grandchildren will have a neat hobby to share
Grab some pans today and look for some open public gold panning locations near you! No need to buy a claim just yet!
Dan, Do you have no concerns that the wheelbarrow and new atv trail etc... Means someone else is using the mine as a commercial enterprise?
Hope all is well and that a good day is in store for ya!
It’s cool how he makes videos about gold and gems but makes it 10 times more cool
Dan, I'm curious is it possible to polish these by tossing some in a tumbler and polish the outside of them before splitting?
Hey Dan,
When you said she's probably eating our lunch I was thinking something was eating her for lunch like a huge bear.
Cool stuff hope your Dad will be ok! Great content as always sir! Prospecting is so awesome whatever your finding.
Damn dan just found out your 66 years old your in really good shape man
Please explain the difference between allowing "rockhounds" on your claim and having "claim jumpers" arrested. From here it appears to be the same thing. People taking something valuable from your claim.
Hope the old fella is doing well keeping it clean at his age it can turn nasty quick as they heal slower
How do you know on what plane to cut open the Thundereggs? Also I wasn't worried about your dad. I'm sorry that he got hurt but I knew that he was going to be okay just by his attitude. I can tell that he his a tough old bird and that he just doesn't have much, if any, quit in him. He reminds me of my dad and older brother. Those two could have lost an entire arm put it on ice and gone back to work to finish the job saying they'd get it sewn back on later. I don't think your dad is that dumb, just that tough. Great guy your dad. Then again so are you and your entire family. Easy to see where it comes from.
If you ever get a chance to visit Oregon,, then you might enjoy picking up a few thundereggs from some of the beds near Prineville, Oregon,, :-)
It's funny... That is probably the absolute ugliest area of BC I've ever seen and it's still absolutely gorgeous! You are lucky as all to live in such a beautiful area of the world!
Happy to see that the family's first aid skills are up-to-date. Prayers for a quick recovery for Papa. Thanks for following up with an explanation of how rockhounds have been working the site before you. Can you now post that this is your site and exclude others from it or is it just too remote to worry about?
Amazing shapes inside!
The thumbnail scared me, but your dad smiling saved me. Lol time to keep watching
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you!!❤️
Health and safety issues aside Dan love your video's good to see your Dad will be fine after his minor accident. Working in the world of health and safety in the uK i have to close my mind to it 😁
The one that is two stones before the jet Stone looks like a world with its continents! I think you should call it the World Stone! Absolutely stunning I love that one too let me know! Hippie Steve from placerville
I honestly can't get enough of the Family adventures. The best memories in life are created with good times in the outdoors with family. I wish my dad would have had a TH-cam channel so I could go back and watch the glorious Days growing up in Utah and all the good times we had. He wasn't into Rock hounding but we did find some arrowheads and Indian pottery one day. Thanks Dan for bringing us along and all of the awesome work you do with editing and filming. 👍🇨🇦
P.S. After watching the entire show, I just want to say thank you so much for being open to the possibility of allowing rockhounders to continue going there. I understand it's dangerous and they can make a mess. But the amount of material there and possibly generations of families that have been there in the past to be able to continue to go is priceless. You are a true gentleman Dan, thank you. 🤠🇺🇲
Hey Dan... If you are near the sheep creek bridge highway 20.. I have land there on the river you can try out.. Hope your dads ok take care be safe god bless
What doesnt kill you makes you stronger
I dunno bob, there’s a lot of diseases out there that definitely don’t make you stronger 🙏
Losing a limb does not kill you, but I don't think that's my definition of strength :D
I hope you heal well and are alright!
So Darby is cute and am hoping the arm wound has healed up nicely. :0
I’m not sure where are? But I have a friend in Hawaii do you think that thunder eggs would be there? Thanks Dan
British Columbia, Canada
@@elizabethh9935 thank you
I hope your dad’s arm is healing nicely!
Yeah it's always smart to have an escape plan for emergencies satellite phones, emergency beacons from the picture it doesn't look too severe luckily hope you all got out safe
At 21:54 there appears to be a 1958 Anteater with tail fins. I hope dad heals quickly with no ill effects. Awesome family Dan. God Bless you all!
Hello friends, greetings from me
Hope pappys arm is ok bro 💪 great video.. may your treasure hunting be blessed bro be safe Dan💯
That was amazing. The colors and patterns are outstanding. Very cool😎😎
Our earth is so full of beauty, both above ground, and below. These are stunning!
Made it!
Beautiful thunder eggs. You are so lucky to have access to them .
We took our kids to Canada, and as beautiful as it is, we froze in the middle of July!
Pops prayers ur arm heals quickly!!!! Great footage .. love all of them!!!! Fantastic view of terrain... I love it!!!! ♥️🙏🙏🙏
Such a beautiful location, wow!
It's amazing friend... healthy and successful always.. greetings from the digger of Indonesian natural resources..🙏⛏️⚒️❤️🇮🇩
If ur son grows his hair out,
He won't be able to keep the girls away.
Girls love long hair, that's why they have there's long......
And if there's a chance he might lose his hair in the future,
Now is the time to grow it out.
No, no, he should conserve what he's got....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰😍
these would make awesome coasters if you cut them in plates. i would love to buy some of them 😍
Blood sweat and gears to get in there. Now there is a trail,minus some trimming to get to your claim .
Love to see those thunder eggs under UV light.
Hope you Dad heals up soon.
....Or even a black light...🤓👍
The road is paved with thundereggs from people realizing they can't haul that much up the hill!
I attended a primitive skills gathering out in the boonies last year and a person chopped their foot with an axe pretty bad. Injuries in remote locations are scary
I had an axe handle snap and the head flew into my leg. It wasn't toooooo bad of a cut, but it certainly would have been a lot more concerning if I was in the middle of nowhere. Your comment "Injuries in remote locations are scary" is 100% spot on.
@@Rennrogue it put things into perspective and I carry a lot more than bandaids nowadays lol. It was day 4 without a shower for everyone and we were grungy, the only good disinfectant we had was some real high proof moonshine.
You've got a great family! I wish I could move to BC again to retire. My dad was an instructor at Simon Fraser U back in the 70's so I lived up there for more than a year during his sabbatical. I absolutely hated the school I went to in Port Moody, but fell in love with the region. The Fraser river was one of my favorite things to follow on our numerous trips. The geology up there is amazing! Love your vids and I'm now subscribed.... I should also add it's nice to see your better half supportive and engaged with the fun out in the field!
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you!!!❤️
Hi Dan I don't comment much but enjoy your videos. Hope papa gets better. I am taking a friend out west next in June and staying in Kamloops for a day and want to try gold panning. Is there a place I can rent equipment? Thanks and keep those videos coming.
The slabs that is cut out, if you put light behind them does it show through?
Those are amazing finds Dan! I would be having a heyday there. I have a set of thunder eggs similar to those that I bought at an auction years ago, so I know how beautiful they are. Hope your father is doing well. Beautiful landscape as well.
Dan, just out of curiosity. But are all of your videos so far in the "past". Is it due to taking time to edit? I mean you are in "July" in this video and it's September now lol
It takes about a month for me to process a video, I'm on the road shooting 4 days a week, and home editing 2 days a week, plus I take one day off.
I also have to bank 12 videos for the winter months when I can't get out prospecting so I can continue weekly releases
'Day off'.!?!? Day OFF?? You arent allowed days off, you must slave for us every single day! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for all you do to enable us to enjoy your life by proxy! Hugs to all concerned!
Hope your Dad is ok Dan⛏🏴
Nice! Hope dad is OK. Thanks for another great adventure Dan.
You described how to get to your claim just like I would tell someone how to get to fort McMurray Alberta.
Most city people think 5 minutes from the nearest Starbucks is remote.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope you’re having a good day?God bless you!!❤️
I call that "Paying the Price" for your thunder eggs!! Gracious!! Those BUCKETS!!
A couple of those cut ones looked like MAPS!! I could see the continents!!
Hello friends, greetings from me
🍄💜 Dan & everyone!
Do you lose a claim if you do not work it? Do you have to renew them periodically?
i had a thunder egg as a kid. loved that rock. it i think is the reason i love rocks so much! mine must have been a richardson ranch as the host rock was chocolate brown
WOW. Super cool,Dan! Overhead someone yesterday talking about prospecting gold. Long story short I turned them on to you're channel. Much love& admiration from WA
Excellent finds. Thank you for letting us see the hard work. Be well especially your dad. UK.
SHOW DO MILHÃO. NATAL RN. RIO GRANDE DO NORTE. BRASIL.
Hey Dan. Another great video. I was wondering if certain types of patern appear more in certain sizes or it all completely random? It seem like geodes are more common in bigger stones?
Some of them really look like parts of Jupiter got stuck in a rock, absolutely stunning.
Get well soon Dad!!!
Hi Dan, How much gold has been taken out of Churn Creek?
Nice video dan good quality content as usual!
Canada is amazing too bad its frozen most of the year
Your vids Dan, are so much fun to watch,, if only i could come over and assist, (uk based) i would love the fun and hard work, bit not the Dad injuries !
I love my Thundereggs. Dug out a bucket at the Polka Dot mine north of Bend in July.
Is that Bend Oregon? I was born and raised in Sweet Home.
Wouldn’t tapping them help differentiate hollow ones before digging them out?
Sorry, no. I've prospected regular geodes before, and the host rock never consistently responds to tapping or knocking. I've tried.
It doesn't work like that. The hollows might be small or large, filled with nothing or filled with crystals. When the eggs are still embedded in the host material you can't get a true resonance when you tap it but most importantly is the fact that even if you could tell that it was hollow you would still have to dig it out to get to any thundereggs that might be behind it.
You dad is tough respect.....some day you guys are gonna run in to Bigfoot that far out ;-) enjoy great vids
If they do and pops is there then I feel sorry for the Bigfoot.
