- GREAT day metal detecting the California Mother Lode! With my friend Dave from @Goldbay , Chase from @Bigfootminingco and all the rest of my new friends I made that day. We started detecting a small creek, and found some gold, but then moved up hill when the real fun happened as we pulled nugget after nugget out including some Huge Gold Nuggets. And some amazing specimen gold.

Thank you Dan! We really appreciate it! You gotta come back out very soon!! It was a great birthday outing! It was fun!
Nice cameo!
Get it @bigfootminingco I'm down on the river today. First one coming up!
Would it be worth sluicing this area? Seems like a rich area
Keep the place secret for long good
Y'all are in my area!
I hope Evan absorbs all of Dan's knowledge & continues the family business. He seems like a cool guy, I'd keep watching if he ever takes over the channel. I hope he realizes how lucky he is. I'd give anything to have a father in a type of mining industry to eventually pass the business to me, or even to teach me so I can start my own. I love precious metals and minerals. Rocks ROCK!
You are by far the best person to watch on TH-cam. I love the fact that you’re happy for others when they find something notworthy. There isn’t to much of that going on anymore. God bless you and your family. I hope one day you find a chunk of Gold where you can retire happily
So you finally got into the California hard-rock stuff, and did pretty well....I think that's the most ore I've seen you get in one location, Dan! And happy Birthday! I just turned 70 on the 11th, keep on rockin'!!
Lots of water erosion across the whole state this year, lots of BIG GOLD in Big Bear.
Congratulations on finding over one ounce of gold while metal detecting in the California Mother Lode! That's an impressive achievement. Discovering such a significant amount of gold is a testament to your skill and dedication as a detectorist.
Testament to burying some gold in strategic spots a few months back!
😂😂😂 I don’t think I’ve ever heard Dan swear so much
I'm a bad influence. Blame me!
That tends to come out when you're SUPER EXCITED.!! 😁👍
That was funny!
LMAO..
I heard those bleeps and was laughing like crazy..🤣🤣
Love it. Shows he's human.
Thank you Dan and your family we had a great time thank you for spending time with us
Happy birthday Dan!
Love how Evan getting involved keeping up in dads foot steps ❤️ keep it up 👍
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Happy Birthday Dan! Happy and safe trails in the future!
Go Evin!! Good to see you with the kiddo Dan. Hope he gets his passion for it and starts his own mining channel.
Matt
Happy birthday Dan
Happy Birthday Dan
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU Dan! 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂
Hey man... I'm panning for mental health reasons. I don't sell my gold it's just finding it fills me with a life saving pride. I've found three pretty little flakes and it's the best feeling in the world. This channel has been amazing in inspiring me to go for it. I was wondering if you were to prospect in Arizona what do you think a fun place might be? I hit Lynx creek and that was really calming and fun. thanks again you are so cool
If I would've known you were here, I'd have told you to go on the American River outside of Auburn. There's still plenty of gold to be found out there.. That or head up in the Bear River Watershed up by Rollins Reservoir, it's where they pulled the most gold and other minerals at with hydraulic mining.. In fact there's still a place up there with giant mounds of unwashed pay just sitting there.. and by giant I mean they cut a road through it and the pile is taller than a truck.
Up in the mountains the river water never gets more than about 50-55F, because it's fed by snow melt all year long it never really warms up.
Gold still connected to quarts is so beautiful
Happy Birthday, Dan!! Thanks for taking us on your outing.
The numerical readout on your machine may give a clue to the composition of the "chunk". Many metals become the color of the clay or other minerals existing with them. I've seen black gold and red gold. Aluminum has a mighty tone and a high number. Iron has a low number. Gold has usually a repeatable mid number. Wish you luck and Love your videos!
I learned a lot. That was a lot of fun, Dan. Thanks!
I found a great solution to clay is 5 gallon pail with some rocks and water in it. Swish it around aggressively and it breaks up pretty easy before panning.
Happy gold birthday Dan 🎉
Yaay!!
Happiest of birthdays Dan!!😁❤
Yes! I’m here for GOLD!
I have gold
Happy Birthday x5! What a day! 👍👍👍
Dan I have been a subscriber since back before you had 100k subscribers, good to see your channel explode over the years.
Greg
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻
What a fabulous birthday. From watching your channel. I think that would be one of your favorite ways to spend the day. Except for maybe having, Dana and your daughter with you also. As well as Evan. Have the whole family together having fun. (kids not bickering.)😅
Happy belated Birthday 🎉
Great show! Happy Birthday! God Bless! And again, welcome to USA!
happy birthday Dan
Hello, Dewitt I really like your profile Pics, and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! 😎
Happy Birthday Dan! Go gold!
I absolutely always give your channel videos a like! Thank you Dan .
Yeah Dan!!!!!! Gotta get you up into the omineca this year buddy:))!!!!
This is going to be another great Dan Hurd video, and Dan that is an EPIC specimen
Happy Birthday Dan! Glad you got to go with friends and got some candy, as Polly says, thanks for taking us along, it was fun!
Happiest of birthdays to you my friend I hope you had the best birthday.
The fact you are making Evan go with you, I assume you are kinda making him go based on my teenage experience, is special. He doesn't know it yet but these little trips will forever be a cherished memory.
Happy belated birthday Dan and you had a golden day but muddy as all get out like did it rain there prior to you getting there???. Well hope you had a cracker of a day also g'day to Evan . Take care guys and see you on the next exciting episode..............
The specimens & the last nugget are the best. I love natural gold over jewelry any day.
When you learn to read the meter on the detector you should get further most metal has it's own numbers
Now that definitely deserves a SUPER COMMENT.
Dave we need longer format videos man.
That was just an example of what can be found in the shallow surface. Imagine all the gold stuff below the reach of the detector
Yeah, there‘s a tiny devil hiding in his beard that causes him to say those things 😂
I'd love to see you head up to Placerville, Idaho one day.
Amazing perfec.
Thank you for sharing this adventure! Awesome nuggets!
Good finds, one can only imagine 150 years ago the finds. You detect metal and many have come before.
@DanHurd. I just automatically press the "Like" symbol during your introduction. You've haven't let me down. I am diving so deep in your previous videos, while trying to stay current, that you keep this old war horse smiling.
Cheers, my fellow rock hound.
Yes those are amazing gold nuggets nice job!
Happy Birthday Dan Hurd!!!
what a great collab. Keep them coming Dan,whats next Gold basin Nevada? That would be so cool.
A river that has a lot of potential for gold, you and your friends find a lot of gold there, sir.
Love Gold Bay, they are the best.
Hmmm 🤔
Great video Dan! It was good to see Dave from Goldbay hanging out with you. Happy Birthday Dan
Happy mothers day..
Birthday day. Youe lucky to have those two take you to a nice spot !
Awesome finds. The gold in quartz is so beautiful, I would not want to break it up! 😊

HappyBirthday Dan, thanks for all the great content.
what a lovely way to spend a weekend with friends. Far better than playing golf!
Your enthusiasm is very contagious 😀
Wow, that one nugget in the middle of Chase' pile at the end was very..... suggestive. Lmao.
I really like your content I spent A lot of time in sand bar's myself!
Ben Nave
Happy Birthday Dan! We ❤ you!
SOB, I missed it
in background on opening shot, there a tall white pipe, driven in along creek's edge, is that the claim border?
those fresh pointed nuggets worth far more than gold weight, they be loved for nugget jewelry pieces
Very excited for all of you. That quarts gold piece is incredible.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!🎉
I enjoy this and I learn so much.
Dave from Gold bay, what an absolute amazing man!
Awww thanks man! Not sure why but thank you! ❤

Buster
Well! Happy belated Birthday DAN! Gold for you!
3 things curiously chose leather boots for stream detection, none looking for the quartz underground seam, and the specimen gold is beautiful.
Nice!!! Gold on Birthday 👍
Dan, you made a fleeting comment about doing your gold dance and I, as well as most of your subscribers would love to see it.
Be warned though, it will be judged by the greatest gold dance of all time. Of course ,Walter Houston in The Treasure of Sierra Madre. HIT IT, thanks.
I just ordered myself a Gold Monster yesterday, i hope i can have some awesome luck just like you when i go out for my first swing :)
Happy Birthday, Dan! What a fun birthday. Thanks or sharing. Take care.

What better way to celebrate your Birthday than doing what you love to do. Great video, I hoping to get up that way soon to find some nugs.
Happy birthday Dan hope you have a great day
Happy Birthday to you Dan. Have a great day
Awsome day. Glad you got to go to californie and find some big gold. I hope to make it that way some day. I'm in idaho I do well on fine gold. But so far no nuggets for me
Greetings from the BIG SKY. There's gold in them thar hills. Happy birthday, Dan.
Hi Dudra
What a fantastic day !!! Man I want to go gold prospecting in that area bad now !!! 😆 😂 Thanks y’all awesome video !!!
Please, PLEASE make a video of those nuggies post-acid dip!
Hello, Jessie I really like your profile Pics, and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! 😎
Happy Birthday , Dan! Awesome Finds.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN, so your 35 years old today. Hope you have a great birthday.
I tried using a metal detector out there once or twice. I didn't know how to distinguish from anything so tons of iron, zero gold. The coolest outcome was finding random river rocks that had metal ore hidden inside. I need to reevaluate this all. You found more in any given nugget than all the gold I found in 10 trips. I got hundreds of pieces, just altogether worth nothing.
Thanks Dan... Southern Ca has produced some huge pieces too...
