I like you showing where you find the gold as it helps educate where and how I should be looking for them myself. Thank you for doing this.. Keep it up!!
Don't stop showing us when you find the gold in those crevasses. That's just the fun! I'm just as happy as you are when you show us your finds! To bad there's no gold to be found in the Netherlands. Otherwise I bought myself some stuff and started digging. Seeing how much fun it gives you works contagious.
I retired this year and looking for something to past time and a hobby. You made the choice for me, alot of creeks in Iowa and i need to check em out !! Revivalized by Dan!!!!!
It will be a real challenge. Neither Iowa or much of the rest of the Midwest have had volcanos, the original gold source. All gold in Iowa and the Midwest is thought to have been dropped from glaciers when they retreated. All you are likely to find is fine flour gold - don't expect any nuggets. See raregoldnuggets.com/?p=650 for some information on gold in Iowa.
Dan. Please don't change a thing about your vids. U have come this far by doing what you do. I'm sure im speaking for most as most of us love the way you incorporate other things like flowers and wildlife/ where gold is found. Love all your vids mate.
Show them as you go, we all love to see the gold. You found some beautiful gold. It pays to clean as you go. The vacuum really helped. Great video of the Fraser river gold. Thanks Dan.
Absolutely amazing. I'm so excited, heading to Lytton next weekend (June 29) to hit my claim HARD. Landowners notified, gold owl mats bought and equipped in my sluice. I'M READY.
Enjoy your vid's, A small piece of knowledge on your vacuum... knocking the air filter (into a pan) out after each section you clear will give you longer battery life (it really depletes batt fast with just a little dust).. the other thing to note is the bottom of the unit is very thin (try not to slide), but adding a layer of vinyl/neoprene (siliconed to bottom) will keep the foot pads from getting holes & losing vacuum. Hope that helps
mrmcclung - great comments and suggestions, the first time I saw anyone using the VAC was in AZ cleaning bedrock in dry washes, dirty hot nasty work in the desert 🌵 they were using generators to keep their dry sluice running and VAC’s charged up, so they didn’t have to stop all day.
@@wakeupidiotsnow2611 I used one on the job (concrete chunks and dust) only takes a minute to tap out (and maybe some fines), but once filter is a bit obstructed the fan has to work harder a the draw goes to 2-3x faster. Other than the formentioned, it was handy & sped the work up verses cords
Another great video!!! It's nice to see the gold on the bedrock, and in the cracks, you never know how big it really is until it's out of the cracks. Thank you for the videos!
Oh we just HATE seeing all that gold sitting on the bedrock... I don't know how I could stomach looking at more gold nuggets just shining in the sun. Are you kidding me? I can only drool and wish we grew nuggets like that around here. Without you, the only way I'll see gold that big is to pull my gold tooth and throw it in the hole... or watch Gary Two Toes Honan go sniping in Northern California. I'm gonna wipe off the drool and go find some little stuff... I hope. We're in full runoff with a bunch of precipitation added in here in Wyoming. Great vid!
it would be cool if you could use something like a funnel and use some copper tubing to create a vac attachment to get into those tight parts. Copper just because it is easy to bend and shape or even a bendy straw type idea.
Agreed..I'm sitting here trying to figure out methods for extending the battery length if possible too - would drive me nuts to have to bring so many because I'd want to be so meticulously thorough
love seeing the flakes and pickers as you go. It's nice to see everything dry vs all that water you have to deal with. a good spot that produces lots of gold is awesome. thanks Dan
Don't worry about burnning up your vaccum..your finding riches..you can afford to buy #10 vaccums & new batteries with what gold Dan got in this video..critter.
Those crevasse tools reminded me that I have a dental appointment next week. Lol !!! That shop vac did a nice job. Excellent gold ! Love it !! Just imagine the hundreds of crevasses waiting for you to explore ? Keep digging. !!
Awesome job! Glad to see the vacuum came out on this trip. Funny to see it when I just comment on your last video asking whether or not you use a vacuum. Everyone loves to see gold on bedrock or just gold period! Great job again!
Thanks Dan, I am bedridden here in england Yorkshire moors. Please please keep showing us the gold and THE SCENERY. Keep up the good work. HOPE your bank is filled full of yoour gold won today
"Jane Peacock-Baillie 3 years ago Dan. Please don't change a thing about your vids. U have come this far by doing what you do. I'm sure im speaking for most as most of us love the way you incorporate other things like flowers and wildlife/ where gold is found. Love all your vids mate." Agreed 100%
I enjoy watching the entire process! Its the gratification earned when you find that picker! We get to see your process and the share it with you! When I sit to watch an episode, I’m sure to be entertained!
Dan Hurd out does Dan Hurd! Its a special day ; D This was a fantastic crevicing video. I think there might be a global rush on battery vacs as a result of this! Thanks for the fun Dan!
the thrill of the hunt is the best part and ya gotta keep the suspense of the total find til the end to get your full video view. Glad to see you brought a vacuum cleaner..it makes things so much easier to clean out the crevices in order to get deeper!
great video again Dan. This really shows how gold will wedge down deep and stay in place. Miners new and old should watch this video to learn something. You better show all the gold sitting, makes me want to get out and dig, or should I say, clean the bedrock lol. heavy pans sir!
Camera fainted at 14:30 from all the excitement. Well, that was my perception. LOL Awesome find there Dan! The water is all but dried up here. There's not enough flow to use the sluice. You know, I never even thought to take a vacuum to my claim. Awesome Idea, I learned something in this video. Thanks Dan! Looking forward to your next video.
**Pauses video to comment** Dan, seeing your vid notifications always feel like I'm hearing from a good friend. You have such a great personality. I couldn't be happier for you when I see your finds! I think crevicing (sp?) would be my gold searching method of choice if I was out hunting gold personally, but every method you demonstrate fascinates me! Can't wait to see the pics at the end. Don't worry about the wind...we get it; you're outside. Couch surfers may complain about the wind, but the rest of us get it. **Returns to video**
Good day Dan great gold. I was going to say to get a small nozzle for the deep spots but the one you have did a great job. Great video buddy I like watching the whole process not just the end
I am watching your channel first time, first video. And the intro you did, you turned out to be exactly like I imagined before I clicked on your video. 😎
So glad to see that Dan and Mike are not the only flakes on the Fraser! lol Congratulations on yet another great day and thanks for another inspiring video!
I like watching you work. It makes me wonder how much gold is at the bottom of that river. The water has been working that bedrock for some time. You made quick work of that gold.
Cracking stuff dear sir, loving your work keep them coming. I like you showing them as you find them as it helps me learn and the guess the weight is fun with a reveal at the end is fun!
Fantastic nuggets and a great total weight. Many prospectors can only dream of a day like that. Oh and as much as I love seeing the final weight, I like seeing the process and techniques used to retrieve it.
I love watching your shows. Where I live there is no gold that I'm aware of. I've looked several times. It's fun to see gold being found. Would love to have the ability to find gold.
@@Danhurd it's 2900 miles from here to the Fraser. And then I would have to find a claim. Maybe one day I'll be able to make the trip even if it's just to enjoy the view

i personally love when you show the gold just sitting on the surface of the bedrock! its cool to see how they just sit there and also how you find them! :)
I love watching you find the gold helps me learn how and what to do but I also like the fact that you take the time energy and money to put your claims back to as near as you can as you found them or improved thanks for the videos I've been subscribe to your channel for a while now and watched quite a lot of them I enjoy that you show everything from finding it cleaning it processing it and how to take care of your claim when you walk away from it... Thanks for all the hard work
It's far from being annoying Dan, but I think it would be a wee bit weird if any of we viewers enjoyed seeing you find gold quite as much as you enjoy finding it! But that's fine since the joy you get from it is half the fun of these videos.
That’s so awesome to watch. I like seeing those pickers and nuggets. And seeing the final weights. Showing the estimate of total market price would be nice to see as well at the end. Maybe show money made per hour to put some prospective on it. Wish we had gold in Arkansas. That would be fun for me.
I like you showing where you find the gold as it helps educate where and how I should be looking for them myself. Thank you for doing this.. Keep it up!!
Thanks for watching.
come to us in Russia I will show you how to mine gold)
@@Danhurd forceps make very secure friends; very loyal, I hear. Unlikely to let you down, drop the ball so to speak...😄😅
I like seeing the gold where you find it.
Love seeing it on nature's mats.... the sluice is the river and the rock is the mat lol
Don't stop showing us when you find the gold in those crevasses. That's just the fun!
I'm just as happy as you are when you show us your finds!

Some nice bed rock and producing some nice gold!
Yup
Great work Dan, What a sweet gold take love the nugs. Thanks for sharing.

Keep showing them! It helps train you eyes to spot them. I saw #2 while you were vacuuming.
Nicely done
Congratulations! Great clean out.

Definitely show us how you find the gold in situ, that is 90% of the enjoyment!

Glad you posted today. My wife is back in the hospital. Your videos are calming and help me to take my mind off of everything, Good video as always.
Best wishes for your wife's recovery. Glad you have something to help you stay calm and positive.
Thank you - I'm glad the videos help. Hoping a speedy recovery for your wife
@@Danhurd Thank you
Never seen a man be This dedicated to vaccuming 🤔
Ha!
The vacuum make you money.
Lol you haven't seen me out there using the 'ol shop vac on the bedrock! With gold like that I'm surprised he managed to make a video!
i wonder if he vacumes at home ??
@@markopittman2833 lol only when he drops gold into the carpet! 😉😁
The best part is you showing every piece of gold. Keep the cameras rolling for it all that's definitely what the viewers want!!
Love your videos. Can you list the type of equipment you use. Vacuum for instance. Thank you.
Oh, I really should. Thanks. (This was a 18 volt Milwaukee)
Amazon affiliate links might be a good idea!

I love it, just annoyed you hit gold and I dont !!! Damn Canadian's
I love watching you guys get the gold off the bedrock. The best part is when you show all the gold in the pan at the end. Love it! Great show!
Everyone loves seeing gold in a gold pan.
it would be cool if you could use something like a funnel and use some copper tubing to create a vac attachment to get into those tight parts. Copper just because it is easy to bend and shape or even a bendy straw type idea.
Agreed..I'm sitting here trying to figure out methods for extending the battery length if possible too - would drive me nuts to have to bring so many because I'd want to be so meticulously thorough
Wow nice haul. Again, thanks for taking us along!
Thanks!
Gave me goose bumps seeing that 1/2 grammer pop out..
Us too
Good to see you trying out the vacuum, that was a very nice bit of gold you got there.
Thanks!
It's also what separates you from other basic gold chanels
Thanks - I'll keep doing what I do
love seeing the flakes and pickers as you go. It's nice to see everything dry vs all that water you have to deal with. a good spot that produces lots of gold is awesome. thanks Dan
Pickerton is still my favorite, but this is a close second.
Hope you didn't drop that little flake sitting on your scale above the screen at the end of the vid
First thing I saw. Betcha he lost it.
Don't worry about burnning up your vaccum..your finding riches..you can afford to buy #10 vaccums & new batteries with what gold Dan got in this video..critter.

Thanks Dan, what a beautiful and rich area the Fraser River is. Well done!
Thanks!
Thanks Dan, I am bedridden here in england Yorkshire moors. Please please keep showing us the gold and THE SCENERY. Keep up the good work. HOPE your bank is filled full of yoour gold won today

Awesome day out dan good score 👍😎🇺🇸🍀⚒

My god dan🤠 that was so satisfying to watch, lol that darn camera falling 😂 peace mate👍
The timing on that camera falling though!

That clink is an awesome sound
Wow that’s some nice gold!!! I need some crevasses 😂😂
Crevicing sure is a fun way to get the gold.
Indeed but not much for crevasses around here
I cleaned up pretty good yesterday but no nuggets or pickers.
Great channel Dan. Yes I do enjoy seeing the gold on the bedrock, gives me hope. I have learned allot from your videos. Thank you much!
Awesome
I enjoy your adventures. Doesn't matter for me if they're in the crevices or at the end. I just enjoy watching what you do
WOW!! That was some beautiful pieces of gold Dan. I can’t believe how much was still left in that crack....see, you just never know. GREAT JOB👍👍👍👍😊😊

Excellent Dan, please do more with the vacumm cleaner
I will try
Fantastic nuggets and a great total weight. Many prospectors can only dream of a day like that.
