They say there is gold EVERYWHERE on the Fraser River.

- They say ALL Fraser River Gravels have placer gold in them. Let me test that theory by running a gold recovery machine known as a High Banker under these HUGE bluffs of gravel. Lets see how much gold I can actually recover.

It's looks so rejuvenating to be woosing around on that spectacular river. Cheers!
A bad day prospecting is still better than a good days work. 😂
So true, got 0 yesterday and I can safely say it was still worth it
Waaaay better 😆 🤣
Unless its your literal job...
I'm jealous, I have to buy pay dirt to pan.
I'm not able to get out much anymore but I have a couple grandkids who are so wanting to learn!
There's just not much gold in St Joseph Missouri 😆
Unless you want to count that 6-7 ounce nugget in the Pattee House Museum.
It was brought back from the California Gold Rush
A buddy of mine, one of his relations sold it to a banker and when he died he donated it to the museum for everyone to enjoy.
Now I have thought about borrowing it but the guy who owns it is too Nice.
😆
Unless you are a gold prospector for a living 😂
That little highbanker is a gravel-processing beast. Looks like it's getting through a shovel load faster than you can feed it.
2 things:
1 - I love the videos, even when the gold isn’t good. The scenery and your enthusiasm are both infectious, and daily videos wouldn’t diminish my appreciation of either.
2 - I was lucky enough to get a couple bags of the Christmas paydirt special bags as my first foray into panning and absolutely loved it. Good mixture of gold & gemstones (one of the garnet pieces has a nice heart shape & is going into a ring for my fiancé as well!) and an exciting experience seeing the shine appear In the pan.
Thank you for doing these weekly videos and can’t wait to see the channel grow to 2m subs and up!
YES !
Any day out enjoying the world we live in is a GOOD day !
And having Dan as a tour guide is enjoyable Too !
Your dedication is contagious Dan! Keep persevering prospecting for us patrons :)
Man, that Gold Hog is a beast man! I just love your channel Dan. I recently got a bunch of minerals from my grandfathers estate... Its like somehow he knew I watched your channel! You help keep a connection to my grandfather alive! Thank you man! Truly!
Always a great day when Dan goes live thank you Dan for Al your work and knowledge
A video doesn’t need to have a bunch of gold to be good. I really like the hunt and experimenting and learning something new. I enjoyed this video much more than others that mostly show what’s in the bottom of a pan. I appreciate you braving the elements to entertain us. Please stay safe.
We don’t need gold! As long as we get to see your smiling happy self, we are good! 😊😊❤❤
DAN HAS THE WISDOM OF A SAGE AND THE JOYFUL ABANDON OF A LITTLE KID MUCKING THROUGH WATER. DIRT AND ROCKS WHILE SURROUNDED BY NATURE. A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING DAN IS; EVERYTIME I SEE HIM IT MAKES ME SMILE.
Merry Christmas to you too Dan. Hope you and yours had a good one!
I love that your thumbnail fit seamlessly with your intro
hi Dan, really like how you have been showing the rocks getting washed in the hopper.
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻
Thank you Dan. We just finished a 2 day blizzard warning. So hanging out with you. At the Frasier was very nice and appreciated.
What a difference having fresh water running through your Gold Hog makes! I love your videos Dan and panning/gemstone/fossil hunting is something I would love to do. I think there’s some places here in Scotland - hopefully I get to experience the joy & excitement before my health totally bottoms out haha
Well there is a bright-side to your prospecting today. You did locate a sizable lead deposit. And that scenery is absolutely beautiful! Loved the video Dan! Stay warm.
Great video as usual Dan, just good to see you out there happy to be doing what you love. Thank you for always being such a positive person, we love you!!!
Quit a few jagged rocks below the surface makes sense because of better anchoring on the hillside, than the round rocks that are easily eroded down hill into the river drainage system. That is the reason for having mostly round rocks on the surface, that are eroding down hill along the surface into the drainage system that dumps into the Fraizer River. The small amount of angular rocks eroded into the Fraizer River end up on the bedrock after tumbelling with the round rocks down Fraizer River. I hope everyone has a safe, healthy, good day.
Respect. Dan wastes his time to inform the world of where placer gold can be found. he knows where the gold is but would rather experiment to prove his ideas . it never hurts to try like you said thats all part of prospecting!
Panning for gold and finding some has always been on my bucket list. You came to my hometown to find diamonds maybe one day I'll be able to come to the Frazier and try my luck and take in the beautiful scenery.
Honestly my favorite videos on this channel are just you out next to a stream or river doing small panning like this or even just exploring a new claim.
Thanks for going out in the cold for us Dan. Great video.
The only true gifts in life are the gifts of nature- no matter where you go you have the gift of happiness if you love the earth. Hands down favorite channel! Keep it up
As you say you are a prospector,it cool to see you go to different places and look for Gold.I enjoy that fact that you took a chance.More videos Dan
Cant wait to see this video good luck dan
I think he did this vid in November 2022....
Those bluffs were bluffing lol , awsome vid Dan!!✌️
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Thank you for taking us along on your Prospecting adventure
Love your videos. They bring a lot of positivity to my day good to see you still at it!!!
Always look forward to my Sunday Dan Hurd video. doesn't matter how much gold gets found it's the entertainment factor.
2 fine days of prospecting
Man now I can't sleep in tomorrow 🤣👍
Good morning from cold and rainy Ohio
You called it end of January lol love your content keep it up and enjoyed panning me xmas special bags
My favorite kind of prospecting videos thanks for taking us along!
DAN HURD I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS NEVER CHANGE❣
This is going to be a great video
Great video Dan, love the explanation on how panning sometimes just doesn't cut it to test, especially in chunky gold deposits.
I love the beauty of where you go panning. It is so calming :)
9 hours? 😱😱 it's going to be a loooong night.
Having just moved to lillooet, next to the Fraiser river, I’m hoping to have my first try panning sometime this year! Thanks for the videos, hopefully I can learn enough to find something!
Dan Dan your the man love the way you explain what and how you do what you do prospecting.
Amazing 👍😍, success friends
Thanks for the video's Dan. We've been iced in for a few days and I've been extremely entertained by your videos, between you, Pauly, and Chris I've had a blast! Keep up the good work and thanks again for the pinolite heart I ordered. My wife really enjoyed it.
Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out!!!
Thank you for teaching how to clean after prospecting. I never realized so much care is typically shown for the work site.
Awesome video 😇
Smoothest engine start I’ve ever seen at 3:24.
It seems like your attitude is contagious 😊
Go Dan,good to see you back on the Fraser,really enjoy the treats you glean from that place,cheers from Australia.
Still a great day out with stunning scenery and a good day out in nature. Never mind that you didn’t find much gold. Awesome video. God bless, take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Been watching you for quite a while now.
Dan I just love watching your videos knowing you do what you love and are passionate about and a good hearted soul deep down inside. Been watching your videos close to two years now and look forward to everyone
Never stop Dan. Please keep it up. Another fun video.
I'm going this summer!! See u out there! I'm from Alberta. Can't wait!
Love watching your videos they always make me smile and feel happy 😃 thank you Dan xxx
The jagged pieces could be from the frost erosion that happens each winter and spring.
Water gets in the cracks in spring and summer, freezes in winter and cracks the rock.
present, my uncle is great 👍👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us along outdoor adventures
I'm watching this on Feb. 1, 2023, doing my part to chase away the winter blues. Although, this winter we have been in somewhat of a snow drought, with our deepest snow only being 3" or so. Most of our precipitation has been rain so far this winter.
Thank you for the new video. You are doing great at holding the camera while you work. Love your content.
There's Gold(24 caret) in their in them there Hills and prospecting for Fraser River and fantastic Dan Hurd. Coming back those winter blues thankyou Dan Hurd ✔
Fascinating to see the difference between the sides of the river!
Just what we need to give us a lift in mid winter. Thanks, Dan
Cool scenery and information as always Dan thanks for sharing.
I see you are wearing my jacket again 😁
GO ARMY Hoooaaaahhhh
@8:30 Dan, I think the reason for Fraser River gravel being more heavily worn than what you are looking at has to do with the high amount of hydraulic action in a river that runs in the tens of thousands of CFS (into the hundreds of thousands of feet of flow during floods). Between the Fraser and the Thompson Rivers, you’re draining a HUGE area of interior BC and resultantly the forces are higher on the rocks moved by the rivers.
You're right, January is when we have seen it, but it's a good way to brighten a drab day
beautifule scenery . your a real lucky guy spending so much time in those landscapes.
Yup, moving on. NEXT SPOT! Good attitude! Especially in winter! 👍
Cool! Can’t wait to see it!
Say Dan, first I want to tell ya that I love what you do and envy your lifestyle. Personally, to be able to pull "money" from the earth is the ultimate. It's pure unadulterated currency, having zero manipulation of a fiat or tainted in any fashion by the hands of man. Gold fever is real and once the bug bites a soul, its grip is hard to shake loose from. Thanks for your vids brother and one last note, this vid was shot on 11/24... You keep mentioning what a beautiful winter day it is, but bro, you still have entire month left of fall before the solstice!!! 😂🤣💯👈🙏
When ever I go on TH-cam your always on my recommendations so I always watch your videos, keep up the good videos
I've been to a few place around this big old world of ours. But when breath taking beauty come in to play. BC wins hands down every time. The Canadian Rockies truly are God's playground. In case you're wondering, I'm from that teeny tiny lump of rock you may have heard of, Britain.
I was in your country in 1981, and have yearned to get back there since. Saskatoon through Banff (not the Scottish one) and Golden, via Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Brooks, and Calgary. (That's the best my memory will give me). From the flat and hot, to the mountainous, and cold, it's all gobsmacking.
That was a super productive trip! I thought for sure there'd be gold where you high banked but nope! You spent an hour to learn that you shouldn't spend any more time up there looking for gold. That to me is highly productive!
Thanks Dan. It was encouraging to watch.
Thanks for another great show Dan.
Sluff off the bluff is my new favourite saying when someone drops something
The only thing I don’t like about dans videos is when they end. Ife love to be fishing on the fraziier, it looks so amazingly beautiful!
Being outside in that stunning scenery that God has provided us is worth a hundred pans with no gold. May God keep you well stocked in gorgeous scenery and sparkly gold.
What gorgeous scenery
Cold!!! Fun videos, thank you for passing on your knowledge, I find figuring out claim confusing so I think I’ll give the public panning places a go, once it gets warmer. Fraser River is so beautiful in some places.
Awesome video here Dan. Definitely a great video of the cliff you was at highbanking. You can definitely see the layers of the deposits in the cliffs. And I have to say that was a good way to sample a small amount. No bad, you couldn't sample the cliffs in a larger amount. Especially taking a sample from the cliffs like you do in hard rock mining. Lol.
I've always heard that the Fraser River is rich in gold deposits. Have any of you had any luck prospecting in the area? I've always wanted to try my hand at panning for gold, but I'm not sure where the best spots are. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!"
This comment is engaging, respectful, and concise. It also highlights the main point (gold deposits in the Fraser River) and asks for tips and advice from others, which can spark a conversation.
Well, to find the best spots, like Dan, means getting out and looking, some of my fav areas produce big one day and nothing the next.
Yes Fraser River has lots of gold, just stay out of other people's claims and you'll find some
Any gold found is a positive! Wish you and the fam a great 2023. Best wishes
Thank you for your videos I always watch and see what nature gives you... very cool and keep walking the Frazier river.
The more jagged may be from freeze and thaw and freeze cycle braking up the cliff face mixing with the river deposited gravel.
Gold Hog mats do well running hot.
Looks like fun, great video, good sound track too :)
You are the prime example of the crazy grandpa that everyone loves
Love your channel well done also Dana and kids are very awesome thanks for sharing
I always have fun watching Mr. Hurd enjoying the outdoors & making a little money. Oftentimes it makes me envious though but that can't be helped. If I devoted as much time to model building perhaps I could earn as much selling finished projects as he does by digging through the gravel & drilling through the stone. ;)
Sundays are for picking stones.
Thanks Dan, another great video and adventure
Good stuff Dan! Take care!✌
I would think sampling from further up the hill would produce better results. Just like in sluice box, best gold is at the top of the box.
This valley reminds of the Coulee City area of WA state. Gives me an idea for my week long vacation there. Thanks Dan!
Dan - with the amount of exercise you inadvertently get, you're going to live forever!
You forgot to leave one of the doors open on the truck lol. Love the videos, keep them coming.
Awesome Dan. Love your videos. You “ROCK”
