    Dan, a few years ago I stumbled across a video of a weird guy digging for gemstones on the side of the road with his boys. It was a beautiful example of family time well spent. I subscribed to your channel right then and I have never been disappointed. I think you are a wonderful person and the people you share you time with are lucky to have you.

I think sometimes TH-cam creators become immersed in their ongoing and without a cyber team it becomes hard to respond and recognize all commenters but I think your comment is very heartfelt heart warming and it's cool to hear how someone from TH-cam could impact someone else's life in a positive way we need more of that in the world. I can only dream to have the amount of followers as him but I don't put as much time and effort because of my ongoing is in life. but will be trying to make a point to reach out to people like yourself it's a beautiful thing go team Good💪🏼♥️🤳🏻

    Love your enthusiasm the joy you have in your elements makes me jealous not to be in your circle of friends & living in such beautiful country. If a person is feeling down....going thru hardships....they just need to watch Dan Hurd among mother natures enjoying her many gifts...! How can anyone feel down when around Dan Hurd...!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You for Sharing, Dan.....glad your heart surgery went well you are still here & doing what you love. My area of expertise was in medicine & I want you to know this & you tell this to your loved ones for so often heart patients are not told about this. If you ever start having heartburn that persist 3 days or more....nothing is easing it....TO THE ER RIGHT THEN NO WAITING....WHILE BEING DRIVEN THERE A LOVED ONE ON THE PHONE W/YOUR CARDIAC DR/SURGEON YOU DO NOT PUT THIS OFF, DAN....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saved my brother in law when he had cardiac issues My Sister called told Me his symptoms I got him in w/the best Vascular Surgeon & the right tests done.....for as we know there are those who will do unnecessary tests etc just to drain insurance & our bank accounts. He had several more years but did pass away. At the time our life paths separated us....when he died & I learned about what happened before he died.....so unnecessary. For over a week he complained about heartburn that just would not go away & not anyone knew what this was alerting to. Very sad that something like this happens. so Dan.....plz leave me a response that you read this your family knows.....share this info w/others because so often too many don't know what this dangerous symptom is announcing. Take Care Dan & Fam'

    Well after watching a few of your videos the last few weeks Mr. Dan you have earned my subscription. You've also peaked an interest for me.

    Glad you are recovering!! I messed up my foot over 2-4 years ago and I’ve been in pain and last year they found out my foot was fractured and my Achilles was messed up. So I was in a cast for 6 weeks and a boot for another 6 weeks. My Achilles healed but my Fracture didn’t. So I have to wear my boot for 3 weeks from the 6 weeks I said.

Think about it! Maybe little dishes for salads or a moose Bouche or something to do with a dinnerware set one so Elite and special as to be virtually unfindable! Do it do it do it!

    @silverback5033 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Dan, all of those agates are nice, those bigger ones however are just awesome. Glad you took the time to show us the cut pieces, it gives us a better appreciation of the pieces that you took out.
    An older specimen miner I spoke with some time back told me once you find a good piece “dig away” from the specimen, his suggested that however big (diameter) of the rock or specimen is then that is the distance you start away from it, then work your way back towards it, he said it minimises stress fractures in good pieces even though it takes a bit longer. I have not done any of this kind of digging so I don’t know if this is correct. I would be interested to know if you think this would apply to those big clunkers, or if this would be more suitable to more fragile specimens.
    Great video though, kept me enthralled till the end. I found myself considering the old miners words while watching you dig out those bigger pieces and wondered if he was giving me good info or just his personal digging method.
    Keep Safe & Keep Rockin & you keep looking after yourself.

I'd love make a big old man's ring with a massive agate faceted and centered in it, a ring that everyone goes "WOOOOW!" when they see the stone! You know the exact kind of ring I'm talking about a ring so big that only a man with huge hands can get away with wearing it!

    i use to fossick for agates like that near me but ours are blue. anyway the host rock they are found in here is hardened volcanic ash and i was told the tear drap shape has to do with the way molten material was flung through the air and then landing in the ash creating the pockets. im kind of curious if your bed rock is actually an ash layer over ancient soils.... dont get me wrong ive seen petrified ash falls over 40m thick. PS they look like ancient hand axes

      Beware of this guy folks. He's either a sleaze or a scammer. He focusses on women and has used the usernames David Henry, William Rob911, Walter E piatti, morrisonscott429, Henry William, Robert William, and now Drake Milly. Take a scroll through the comments and check his replies...

      Well, that didn't work very well... I'll try reporting him via the dots and an unrelated option...
