- Pete and I spent one last day getting to the bottom of the amazing pocket full of gold pickers at Pickerton. And even though the pocket was almost worked out, it held one last BIG surprise that made our day. One last BIG piece of gold. Gold panning and prospecting the Fraser River is always a great adventure.

AND HEY PETE . ....thank you bro for shepherding ol Capn Sternum around the mean streets of Pickerton. 🙏🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Pete!
Hahahaha👍🏻🤣🤣🤣
P
Dan, at least you're not sitting on the couch watching tv and eating chips. You are outside, getting exercise and fresh air. And gold. How awesome is that. I know it's hard, waiting until you have properly healed, but you will!
Thanks Picky Pete for being so helpful in Dan Hurd' s recovery while making videos! 👏
Petey is the kind of Big Flake friend we all want!😂👍👍👍. Pace yourself Dan we need you around for a long time.
Dan my dad had 2 open hearts and he said he felt the wired suture for quite a long time after the surgery. Ten years between each. That type bone is unique and the slowest to mend. All the climbing you are doing is a great sign of how you are mending! Keep on Trucking and God Bless!
Good morning to all, and Dan you are a legend in the prospecting family, take care of yourself. We need ya around for a long time!
Nice picker, of course when you’re just ready to leave , you start to find more. But, that’s a good problem.💗😀👍
Damn, take it easy Dan. Stop pushing yourself so hard! Another excellent day at Pickerton!! 10/10
This , better to be here tomorrow than push yourself too hard today -
As Dan's official helper, I can say that we are mostly there to convince his wife that he's not working as hard. Lol 🤣 I often have to pry the shovel or pick from Dan's hand because he's such a hard worker, even while recovering from heart surgery.🤣 And I'm only there to help him for 1 out of every 10 trips he makes. So in reality Dan works way harder than he should haha
@@VikingTaylor Not so ha-ha. Glad to see him slow down a bit in this one.
The province wants to protect land next to water. One aspect is that plants can help prevent erosion that hurts fish. So, we have rules about not disturbing vegetated parts of bars and other protected areas near water called the Riparian Setback...
A metal detector must not be used closer than 10 metres from the high-water line of a creek.
@@VikingTaylor I can see you doing that, all to his protests. LOL!
Doing my part to help Dan Hurd Prospecting, liked, shared and now watching for a second time🤠 let’s see Dan get that gold play button
Love every video you put out. I watch them with my 6 year old. Please take care, We want to see you finding pickers every week, my wife is a post surgical cardiac care nurse, she says Rest and get better so we can see more and more Dan Hurd Videos. Rest now to make more later. Much love to you and your family Dan
I love Pete! What a cool dude! You guy's did great! And take it easy Dan.
Im sorry about your set back Dan. Take it easy my friend us older guys dont heal as fast anymore. Love your videos I want to see many more from you.
We older guys feel the pain. Dan has more stamina than most of us could possibly muster! ;-)
@@jakeeasterwood3204 so true, my last Op was 2015 and I still haven't got the get up and go that Dan has.
You are a good man Pete.
Hang in there Dan.
Time heals all wounds ...and gold waits for you.
Mr. Hurd , today I m starting to pray for your soon recovery, and all you have to do believe, remember that little mustard seed can move mountains, God bless you , we enjoy your show a lot so take care of yourself and take smaller steps so that we can see your show lot longer.
I experienced the clicking after my open heart surgery and it was the collar bones cause they were loosely fitting cause of being stretched when they open the sternum. Took a while for the clicking to go away but it did after a few months. Nice vid Dan!!
When I started lifting weights as a teenager, I sometimes felt like my breast bone above the sternum was popping or cracking. I couldn't imagine what you went through. I'm 56 this April and I hope I never have to find out. Here's to your health and many more years ahead. 🍻🥂. 🕊️🙏💖💯 From Philly 🇺🇲🥨🥨
I know an Aussie who's probably pulling his old moldie over his head and having a fit, cause you're not keeping the fine stuff! 😁 Pete needs a medal🎖️for keeping Dan out of trouble.
Exactly! Was thinking the same thing! All he gets is flour gold down there in Australia and he gets excited over it. Then dans like “I’m here for the pickers.” Lol ironic since I just panned five bags of kleshkrums paydirt and the stuff Dan was getting rid of is the stuff I was trying to save! Love dans videos though, he’s who got me into this stuff.
And FGW in Wisconsin would be glad to see 👀a pan like that. I would like to see 👀that, most of us in Arizona are wanting a pan of small specks. 👀🤔🤠🌵
Being out in the fresh air, and doing what you love = Therapy.
Pete has a heart of gold.
I'd say he has fair claim that first big picker. You detected that signal but Pete dug it out and Pete panned it.
Matter of fact Pete may have snapped that jinx to become your new luck charm for Pickerton.
Take it easy Dan. Don't go hurting yourself.
Had a spine fusion 2012, felt really good summer of 2013, went to my clan, stood on a round rock, fell and needed a second surgery. Now I take it very easy. Careful Dan.
Bless u Pete for being a Great Friend to Dan .😇
Keep finding the gold and I will keep watching Dan and well done Pete
"I'm putting them back so they grow bigger." Lololol :D
Catch and release eh.
Thanks Pete for helping out. Hope you all keep finding lots of gold!
New viewer here. Watched about 4 or 5 programs. Did the like button. Now here's the deal Dan. I can't help but think of the Old Timers who were getting real nuggets looking at your videos and shaking their heads over how much you are excited about stuff that they wouldn't even consider worth thinking about. So much has changed in the past hundred years in many areas of human endeavors. Here's hoping you find one the size of the Old Timers.
well im back again , looks like your just fine dan. we were all praying- so how could you not get better. and i love that picker . nice job pete.
They say you can’t find gold with a magnet but Pete is proof, he is the gold magnet.
Hugs! Take care now! And Hugs to Pete for the awesome Sherpa action!!!!
Good man Pete!!!! Take it nice and easy Dan. I truly appreciate your channel! Don't go nowhere mang!
Your lady knows you well!
DAVE! Bad boy overdoing it! Seriously though, I know when you are a very active person, it is very hard to slow down. I know this from experience. I'm glad you have a friend to help you today. Great day. The rock formation along the river looks to be the perfect hiding place for gold. I love your excitement and enthusiasm though. It gets me pumped to do some"prospecting" of my own. But instead of gold, I am seeking out very old dumps. My town was founded in 1647, but there were people already living here before that. So I'm off to the library and speak with the town historian for maps of that time period. I love the research!
Please take care Mr Hurd, we want more videos from you for many years to come.
I loved the vid. You have definitely got a naughty streak in you. You had much more humour today. Pete’s a real grafter & obviously a great friend.
I love him. So wholesome. So sweet.
Blaaaaaa....did he just said I'll throw it back so it can get bigger! Great sence of humor, funny sh-t right there! Be careful Dan!
Beautiful place . The gold is a bonus ! Stay strong Dan !
Outstanding Pete & Dan Hurd 😁😁😁! YES, listen to Dana, I have a funky sternum from a waterskiing accident in 1993. Get yourself proper healed, don’t rush things my friend👍🏻
Love your attitude Dan just the great time you have is gold on its own
So sorry you had a set back. I know it is hard to hold back. You look like you are feeling really great. What a fun day to find gold.
Sorry to hear about your clicking sternum Dan. although I didn't suffer that during my recovery, I had my wife, daughter and grandkids watching me like hawks. They even dobbed me in to my cardiologist who rang me and gave me what for over the phone and again at my 1st followup. Why? My daughter was splitting some kindling and nearly chopped her finger off. I took over and showed her how to do it correctly with minimum fuss & energy. This was a month after my op, and it was a light axe. The day after I was a bit sore, but tried to hide it best I could.
OH surgery was in August, then had 3 cancer ops - 1 just before Xmas, 1 just after Xmas and the last in the first week of 2021. Still healing from the cancer ops, but sick & tired of basically standing back.
Take care pal, we don't want to lose you!!!
👏👏👏 👋👋👋
having a time! Cheers Dan and Pete!
It is so nice you have such good friends to help you while you are getting stronger, maygod bless you all and get better soon I enjoy watching you so much
Pete thank you for being with Dan and helping him, much appreciated. Dan would you PLEASE please stay safe and well and STOP overdoing it heal first, we can wait for you to come back to action. God bless both of you and your family’s and stay safe and well, much love from Western Australia 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻🇦🇺
Thanks Dana 😄.. we need him around a little longer. 👍✌️
Well done to all!!
Many congratulations and thank you very much for sharing!!
Have a good time !!
I think that flake weighs more than my entire collection at this point.
I feel your pain bro. We gotta keep at it and 1 day a picker will turn up.
My boss had open heart and his sternum didn’t heal correctly. They had to screw a metal plate in to hold it together. Take it easy so that doesn’t happen to you... that would interfere with the metal detector!
What a nice friend you have going with you out there and digging ♡
Good morning all!
Dan, maybe you should take some time off to fully recover. We will be here when you come back.
@16:01 It's no wonder the metal detector goes off Pete has a heart of gold.
Pete's a good friend to have. He does the hard work and you get the flake. Nice find.
Pete is the man! Love that guy!!!
I love all your videos I've seen. My favorite is when you go to the picture store, my next is when you go find the egg shaped agates. You know what? I'm hooked to them all. Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
Great video as always, also very glad to see more vids at 1440p & 4k, the water looks so much clearer than at 1080p and everything is just sharper without the heavy youtube compression.
Take it easy Captain Sternum Kracker!!!!😁 Your a national treasure to Canada (and a nieghborly treasure to us in America) just keep that in mind my favorite mayor of pickerton🤣🤣🤣
Love it when your at Pinkerton. Thks for your friend helping you out. Your the first gold seeking person I came across a couple years ago. From you you introduced Pioneer Pauly and Shane from Klesh guitars. Love all that you and your friends do. Keeps us old guys entertained
Nice picker. Hope you're fully back soon, but glad you are still getting out there. Nice of your friend to help you out
I'm so glad to see you are back to what you love to do so much.
You have such a great spirit.
Just don't push yourself too much it will slow your recovery and set you back. Summer is coming.
Keep us entertained.....
Dan, regarding Canadian coins being silver or not - bring a strong magnet on your trips. (This will also help find those iron nails and other iron bits out of a clump of dirt / sand). The magnet will tell you immediately about whether a Canadian coin is silver or not. If it sticks to a magnet, no silver. If it doesn't...well, some date ranges to know. 1966 and earlier is 80% silver. (.800 fine). 1965 and 1966 are 80% silver and also have that same portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on them as seen in your video above @ 11:37. 1964 and earlier are also 80% silver, but have the younger portrait you were likely thinking of. This is true of dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars. The 1967 silver dollar is 80% silver, but it's a tricky year because the lower denominations were sometimes minted in both 80% silver and 50% silver, and it's quite difficult to tell which is which, so just about everyone treats 1967 coins as 50% (.500 fine) silver. So as a general rule, 1966 and older = 80% silver, and 1967 and 1968 that DO NOT stick to a magnet are 50% silver. Canadian coins dated 1919 and earlier are .925 silver or "sterling" silver. Here's to your health Dan, listen to wifey. Cheers! -Greg
You never ster me wrong Dan. So keep care of that sternum. Pete, your a good man.
Great way to spend the morning! Thanks Dan for the fun time out there
Dan glad your out and about. Hope your back to 110% soon be safe buddy. God bless you and your support team.
Love the HUGH flake Dan. The 5 Minute Flake.
Heal Quickly!
Enjoyed the video Dan. Great way to be very productive and taking it easy too . Nothing wrong with poking around with the detector while you heal up . Never know , you may run into something you would have otherwise missed. I can see it now " The Pop'in Sternum Mine ! lol .
Hey that looks like my kind of spot I like the small gold a lot of us flower gold people are popping up everywhere 🤣
Wise idea, Dan. Like you, I'd be pushing the limits all the time, myself. A very fine ADIOS from that hole. Nice piece of gold. The shape of coins implies their ability to be influenced by water. It's still winter in Montana, too.
i love making it a contest. let the competition begin !!
Awesome Dan & Pete lots of small gold but it adds up
Just found this guy a few days ago, awesome. I have a at gold too, disappointed it didn't do well. I live near.(60 miles away) a big producer back in the day. I found 2 nice nuggets with a dredge but really nothing with detector other than bullets.
Can’t wait to see what is in that rock. Great video.
Gold fever! Take it easy Dan, safety first👍😊✌🇦🇺
Hello Dan. Been watching your videos for hours today. Great information and some of the things you say are absolutely hilarious! Thanks for the awesome videos
nice nuggets don't over do it dan there well be many more days ahead.thank you for sharing the adventure.
Sorry to hear about your set back, I get tough being active and having to sit around, been through a broken neck, and broken ankles, along with Achilles Tendon surgery I needed to have done TWICE.....you HAVE to let heal, it tough...but you have to..and i'm 56, it takes longer as get older, sadly, best wishes
Glad your back Dan. Have not seen anything new in some time.
Show show show ,
Prospecting Gold nugett in Brazil 🇧🇷💎⛏️
Why do I get a big smile every time you two find a piece of gold. Great video you better take it easy or you will have problems later on.
Looks like you found a long lost wishing well with the pennies. ;-)
Dan, you’re truly blessed to have such great friends; but you already knew that.
Cheers, sorry to hear your recovery hit a rough patch; here’s to a quick remaining healing period.
I really like your videos Dan - and Pete found quite a nice picker there too 🍀
Glad to see your "taking it easy" out there.
I'm a big fan of pan and release. Peace and be safe out there.
One of the best IF not the best gold channel on TH-cam. 2nd would be askjeff or Pauly, maybe vogus. But Dan's way makes you smile no matter what kind of mood you're in. Plus you always learn somethin. Get better Dan!
My wife and I both had that kind of movement, clicking in our sternum for quite a while after surgery, May all your flakes, Pickerton flakes.
Nice piece !!!!! take it easy !!!!!!
Great work, guys!
Speedy recovery 🙏 GB 🙏💪. Such a Good episode, got goosebumps twice. Ight just be the Gold fever lol
I walked out my my cabin to find a beaver chewing on my favorite tree.
So I says to him "Will you stop doing that, Mr. Beaver?"
Him "Gnaw."
way back in March; you have great friends!
Pickerton keeps on giving! Excellent, recovery well Dan
It is so hard to sit tight and be patient with yourself during recovery. We need you and your videos so take care!
Welcome to Pete's Pickers! Great video Dan, you be careful out there. We all need your expertease. Thanks Dan.
Love your nugget, great prospecting! 👍 👍 👍
What a beautiful day you guys had out there! Congratulations on the pickers, and rest up Dan. That gold is out there waiting for you!
I need a prospecting buddy like Pete 👍
Best gold panning music ever
Thanks for posting
Take it easy, Dan and heal properly. Love watching your videos!
Keep it manageable Dan. We want you around for a long time ✌
If you can't beat 'em, stern 'um! Go easy, Dan.
Having your sternum creak like a flight of old stairs sounds painful! Yet you are cheery. I guess it takes awhile to mend after being opened....I hope it hustles for your sake. Spring’s a commin’. Pete is a good friend. Please chow down on protein and calcium😀
