Dan I just want to comment to remind you that you are an incredible man I appreciate your kindness you're warm your humor and your knowledge thank you kind sir
Your positive attitude in your videos really boosts my spirits. I had been very depressed since my wife recently died. The happy optimistic mood is very enjoyable. Your photography is excellent, and the British Columbia scenery is spacticular. Although my wife and I have visited all US states, most Canadian provences, and much of the rest of the world, British Columbia has always been one of our favorite places. I hope to visit once again. Keep up your good work, and I hope you continue to have fun and strike it rich some day.
If you want to find beautiful river agates, I recommend going to the Gill Road Boat Launch in Chilliwack, B.C. It's a large-ish bit of the Fraser that branches off near Rosedale. Dozens of rockhounds go there each day, and it's completely free to go. It is public river access, so you would not need to worry about getting fined for taking stones or minerals. You can find absolutely stunning agates. I found a pink one the last time I went, as well as about 15 other agates. They are small in size, but if you are lucky, you can find a big one! I found a large agate that was still connected to a chunk of the host rock. Apart from agates, another one of the common minerals found there is jasper, as well as another type called mookaite jasper. It's a beautiful yellow and red streaked stone with a rarer purple variant. I strongly recommend maybe going there once or twice in your free time or perhaps even filming a video there. Hope you have a chance to see this comment, goodbye!
Dan every adventure you go on looks like fun ! Thank you for your time, effort and the enjoyable content of every video you make. I look forward to every Sunday morning.
Dan .. you earned my subscription the first video I watched... LOVE IT .. thx for all the years of shared knowledge and fun .. Cannot wait to get digging out Trout sooner then Later.... Cant wait for the next Sunday Already... Great Channel and Great Fans .. all so kind ... SO FUN and Entertaining Always
It's a good idea to watermark your jade pictures like you did so people can't snurch them on the web as their own. Great video as always, Dan. Good to see you're feeling better.
Dan, I am really glad I came across your channel. I subscribed after the first video I watched about a year ago. You have such a great positive vibe that comes through in every video you put out and I want to thank you for that. I really enjoy every single video of yours that I watch.
I have lived near the Fraser all my life (except for a few years near Vernon). Jade has always been my favorite mineral. I have a nice little collection. I happen to have a trip to Lillooet in less than a week! Good timing.
Here in manitoba we have a gravel pit chock full of agate, jasper, petrified wood etc. Even fossils! It's a glacial deposit and it's really a great spot. If you ever find yourself in manitoba you should check it out! It's in Souris, Mb.
You are the rock/gem Santa and I want to meet/dig with you guys so very bad. I never have before but I enjoy digging and finding stuff so I feel it'd be perfect for me~ I love gems and rocks but know only a little~ thank you for always teaching us and explaining ~ I look forward to more learning and more videos. Thanm you so very much for sharing ans continuing to do what u do~ 😸
Dan you do amazing videos in amazing areas.👍So getting jade and gold you will have ready made jewelry.🤔🤣 Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community. Keep your videos coming.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
I am from South Africa. In my younger days I loved beautiful rocks and pebbles. Now I don't have space for it. But I still love it. And noe I wonder what I missed out on, because rocks are only beautiful and worthless. Now I wonder if I did not perhaps picked up some valuable rocks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge wit us. Keep rocking.
I live in California. I paint rocks. I get them all over northern Cali. And know nothing about them. Lol I'm a new subscriber. Thank you for the videos . I love that you explain and take time to explain the rock. ♥️ Happy hunting
Wow Dan, it’s the first of yours videos I saw , and was incredible, congratulations. I didn’t know how much I like the earth. Thx and waiting for the new video. I’ll be around see you 👋
I have recently found some very impressive samples of jade/serpentine/neferite on the Lytton panning reserve! They are still there as it is far too difficult to hike those out! Probably why there are so many to find, lots of big gold flakes though! Those were unfortunately too light to notice at all on my hike out. Great fun, November 2023. My interest in panning has been Lytton fire!
(10/2021)......A Lady in (S.C.) found a yellow stone. you showed one in your pile their at the river ( THAT... ladies yellow rock turned out to be a YELLOW Diamond).I heard of the Pink diamond .Now a YELLOW diamond.Plus....how many we all have walked over from river rock.As my father use to say ( man don't start rock queries for just the rocks).Now I know what he meant......👍// Thank you for your knowledge you so kindly share with us all. Love it.
In my area we find carnelian agate and lots of California jade. California jade is a softer jade and can be a beautiful green. Makes some nice jewelry pieces.
You know Dan, there is a Jade quarry in the Nimpkish Valley, Northern Vancouver Isl. if you are serious for high grade jade ;) Look forward to this episode .
Really enjoy watching your videos. You have an infectious enthusiasm and positivity, which makes them a real pleasure. I also wanted to add that your politeness and obvious love for your family shows you as the sort of person worth supporting, even if it's only with a click or a comment. Keep them coming :)
Dan. U sold me with the earn your subscription. I love all of your videos. The wife and I are expecting our first and would love to make a ring outta one of your gems. Thank you for your great content.
Rockhound since i could walk- I never knew i possibly touched rocks that were jade I thought they were just really beautiful shaped river rocks Used them for balancing/stacking or collecting if i came across a cool shape. Back to the river i go😃.
Hey Dan ! I had to make another comment/suggestion. If You haven't already done it...... the Jade slabs would be really cool Engraved/carved with some motto/saying in a little stand.
Dan, i've always thought using a light box to photograph your rocks and gems would dramatically increase the ability to see their colors and characteristics. They can be built at home for a few bucks- as simple as white paper and a few lamps or lights. They can help increase the amount of light on an object, but also diffuse the light so that you don't have glare or silhouetting.
You're so awesome Dan. I just saw that you're a teacher and if I had you as a teacher in school I would have discovered love for minerals and being in nature way before I did! Both my girlfriend and I love your content and we hope one day we can have the opportunity to meet you and learn from you! We also both work pretty hard if you need some strong hands for any adventures lol I always look forward to your videos!
You should have brought your feather&wedges and a drill. If you use the small wedges you will get a lot of holes for a single battery. Would be awesome to see the split on-site for a large one.
DUDE! You got a dog with you! Why you lick 'n rocks? Take some of that jade, where the light shines through it, and after you slice it thin enough, cut the edges into a silhouette, like, in the shape of a wolf, or a bison. On a necklace, it would be an awesome piece!
I hunt river agate in the states. I find it is all about the angle of the sun for each individual’s height. We will spend the whole day on one gravel bar and we find there are 2 golden hours to hunt agate. One in the morning and one mid afternoon. In between we hunt arrow heads and jasper.

Watch out putting your spots on blast. It happened to one of my favorite places and it got burned down.
The low camera angle from the boat definitely exposes how fast the river is running. I liked the low drown shot over Tim's island as well.
Beautiful assorted colour variety of jade.
Awesomeness, thank you for sharing, god bless and stay safe and well 🙏🙏🥰🥰👍👍👍👏👏👏💖💖🌻🌻

That Jade is INCREDIBLE!! Loved your video, Dan!😁
Great hunt indeed fam. Keep on living the dream. Gold squad out!!!
The lick made me giggle and think of the fossils
Well your furry friend is what I call a true rockhound
I love how you put pics of the rock showing, cut. Awesome video! Sad I missed the live time.
The view at 2:05. Gorgeous.
Beautiful scenery
Another fun adventure for Dan and company! Beautiful stone...
It's a good idea to watermark your jade pictures like you did so people can't snurch them on the web as their own. Great video as always, Dan. Good to see you're feeling better.
I work in a toxic environment and I watch your channel solely because it’s so relaxing and wholesome. Awesome stuff!

Rick is my friend! So epic that you two are in the same video together
I like the music. Keep on "Rocking" Dan🤘
That was a good day with some nice looking Jade and just when I was thinking there should be some agates boom you show some.
As a saw miller that nice big log there is the best treasure on that claim.
Lovely place and beautiful rock.xoxoxoxo
You seem like a good friend to have. Love the kind vibes in your videos.
Wow! Nice day !!

원석을 곁으로만 보았을때는 몰랐는데, 절단면을 보니 색감이 너무 예뿐것 같아요.

0:01 already thumbs up for the video :D
You're the Bob Ross of prospecting
In my area we find carnelian agate and lots of California jade. California jade is a softer jade and can be a beautiful green. Makes some nice jewelry pieces.
California jade is just a slang name for serpentine. There is beautiful real nephrite in Northern California though.
My Gemology teacher used to say "IF it's an ugly yellowish-green, it's Serpentine!"
You earned my subscription today. Mazeltiv from Texas y’all.
A good idea would be to bring some little flags to mark big jade stones to collect or just look at in awe
Wow,so pretty! Outstanding picture gallery at the latter end of your video.quite spectacular 🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That dedication when you licked the stone :) you've earneed this sub. Best regards.
time to un-pack the carving tools for sure!! those pieces of JADE are the right size to carve so are those agates you guys found
Can wait for what this adventure unfolds.
You know Dan, there is a Jade quarry in the Nimpkish Valley, Northern Vancouver Isl. if you are serious for high grade jade ;)
Look forward to this episode .
That crazy rock at 8:35 might be a stromatolite, a relatively common fossil of cyanobacteria mats. Great video!
8:30

My Dad and I hunted for Jade in Wyoming, we found a lot. It was great fun.
Thanks Dan, another fantastic video. That area is beautiful.
Really enjoy watching your videos. You have an infectious enthusiasm and positivity, which makes them a real pleasure. I also wanted to add that your politeness and obvious love for your family shows you as the sort of person worth supporting, even if it's only with a click or a comment.
Keep them coming :)
Dan. U sold me with the earn your subscription. I love all of your videos. The wife and I are expecting our first and would love to make a ring outta one of your gems. Thank you for your great content.
Rockhound since i could walk- I never knew i possibly touched rocks that were jade
I thought they were just really beautiful shaped river rocks
Used them for balancing/stacking or collecting if i came across a cool shape.
Back to the river i go😃.
I am so jealous. Looks like a great day was had by all.
Hey Dan ! I had to make another comment/suggestion.
If You haven't already done it...... the Jade slabs would be
really cool Engraved/carved with some motto/saying in a little stand.
That jade really slabbed up gorgeous. Nice finds
Great video as always. I got some bad news this week. Found out I have cancer, now I have to deal with that.
You guys have the best looking rocks!!
How much this type of rock we have so much I didn't think it was precious
Dan, i've always thought using a light box to photograph your rocks and gems would dramatically increase the ability to see their colors and characteristics.

I wish I could hunt for jade. I love me some jade
Love the passion. A buddy of mine went to jade cove in Cali. Got some nice pieces there.
That river is so crazy put your head underwater and you can hear the rocks grinding The river so Swift
You should have brought your feather&wedges and a drill. If you use the small wedges you will get a lot of holes for a single battery.
Would be awesome to see the split on-site for a large one.
Thanks for the video Dan, definitely lovin the Fraser Jade 🤙stay safe
Dan really licked it at 4:20 to show us lol, the commitment 😂
Solid beard that
DUDE! You got a dog with you! Why you lick 'n rocks?
Take some of that jade, where the light shines through it, and after you slice it thin enough, cut the edges into a silhouette, like, in the shape of a wolf, or a bison. On a necklace, it would be an awesome piece!
Tim sees everything in 3D, thats why hes the pilot.
I thought he was wearing 3D glasses too! 🤣

Amazing Jade Dan👍🏻
I wish Minnesota had anything worth digging for. Some searching online says there really isn’t any gold or gemstones
Is the pup a Norwegian Duck Tolling Retriever? The thing about serpentine is it often forms asbestos on/in it.
