I'm envious that your dad is still around. I loved all the adventures that my dad and I used to go on.
I'm with you. I have a greater appreciation for my own dad when I get to see people still enjoying time with theirs.
Me too
Meanwhile, I haven't talked to my dad in decades. Mainly cause he is a manipulative POS. Wish I could had this kinda relationship instead.
I feel ya. I wish my dad was still around too. ❤
I love my ol' Dad.
Whoa I think this Mr. Beast guys channel is really gonna blow up now with this collab! 😅
What a beautiful and blessed time you're having with your dad!
The gold nuggets are great too. 😊
Congratulations Dan! How fun! Sometimes a deadline makes us work just hard enough to get it done hey.
Excavators are fun, I grew up around them and still get excited every time I get an opportunity to run one. They are gods gift to shovel pushers.
Awesome! Especially spending that time with your dad!
Dan has the will of a Miner...Great Job
Thank you for always being honest with your viewers. Been watching for about 2 years, and was lucky enought to talk to you a few times on your live releases
2 yards an hour 😂, love you're videos, when I worked my parents Gold Mine on the south fork koyukuk river 450 miles north of Fairbanks Alaska, we ran 7 yard buckets every few minutes, I worked 11 weeks per year, 150k, was my pay, which was fine with me, even though our land assayed at 600 per cubic yard, this was back in 1982-87
Do you still go there?
@@outdoorloser4340 no, parents are deceased, my son passed away in Alaska in 98, my wife last year, I am retired living in Pennsylvania, I have many good memories, however if I was a bit younger, I know a few spots that could make anyone a millionaire in a matter of a few months in Alaska ❤️
I watch both the channel constantly, and I can easily say this is the best collaboration I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. I just wish Mr beast video brought more viewers to your channel because, no matter what video you watch I CAN NOT stop watching.
Dan....what an awesome video...great seeing you and Dad bonding, the enthusiasm, the scenery and the Gold....one of your best and I've been subbed since your school vid days...nice to see another video when the weather is warmer.
Dan, I am glad you found that neice Nugget! For only 4 -5 yards of pay, not bad& you got better with the Escavator!! lol, Great video!👍✌
Always nice to see Dad Hurd in action!
That home-made highbanker is KILLER!
Always love to see your videos especially ones with family
Good call on installing those wooden riffles (nugget traps) up top on the GoldHog matting.
Spectacular gold prospecting work... solid 🇮🇩⚒️⛏️💎👍👍
Thats awesome dan!
your teaching of geologly and mapping the way it moves im learning,im in australia almost ready to go,not sure where to start
Congratulations on your find! Great to see you and Dad are in sync. Precious moments.
WOW! I remember when you had only a few thousand subs. Way to go, man. Keep that up! 💯
Lol the excavator is a beast to learn at first, but I’m sure you know now that now. After a day or two you’ll start getting the muscle memory or whatever and it’s a lot of fun.
Dan, we love videos with your dad...I'm pretty sure he has a fan club❤😊
Dan go to the nether, there’s loads of gold nuggets there
bruhhh
@ZQuack001 here come the new guys
@@Austin_Wingfield I’ve been subbed to Dan for a long time now
@@Austin_Wingfieldit is what it is
Fr doesn’t he know about gold farming???
Dan this is awesome, thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Great job
My kid loves Mr Beast. I enjoy him, but man i really love this channel right here and i have for a while. Getting to share these with my kid because Dan was on Mr Beast makes me a happy man.
Thanks as always Dan.
WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO DAN! That was a mighty fine pan you ended up with! Incredible gold nuggets, with the best scenic view anyone could ask for! You are so blessed to have this claim; I am picturing monster nuggets in the near future! Great to see dad out there, too! I know he had as much fun as you did (other than the wicked cold). Hugs and blessings from Alabama ❤️
My mom and dad really fell in love with the Australian and Yukon Gold shows on our local programming. But those have recently been discontinued, and my mom has absolutely loved all of your and Jason's videos! Thanks for being such a fun and positive channel that I can share with my family.
I need prospecting in my life.
Thanks for sharing Dan!
Hey Dan ! Finally a decent looking pan of GOLD ! Yeah !
DAN ! How can you not take a fly rod to that river ?
And the Gold ! Happy to see that You rose to the challenge.
great job Dan love watching your videos, keep up the good work cheers
From Bust to Banger! Good Gosh!!! Great work guys!
Its soooo awesome you have your Dad with you!! ❤😊
Well done Dan. What I would give to hang out with my Dad a few more times. Treasure his company my friend.
10:40 I trust you know what you're doing, but I worried that if the chain had not come off that rock it might have pulled the bobcat over.
I saw the same thing happening lucky the Chain came of or Dan would have been launched into the hole because I doubt if he was wearing the seat belt you have to wear them while operating or one mistake and your maimed or dead
Yeah, I worried about that too. I’ve seen a few machines topple over the years. Luckily no one was hurt, but it happens so fast. Definitely have to think things through before hand when working through obstacles, because once you jump into action there is no time to turn around…
Good job dan. I really love your channel. By the way I'd love to get some ocean picture stone for beads
Always enjoyed thank you Dan😊
10:10 Its a picker!
How did you keep this under wraps for this long????
I would have been screaming to the winds with this!🤐
Love your enthusiasm and your tutorials. Great video. Keep up the great work.
Please say "Hi" to your Dad.
As long as you run CAT controls on the Mini-X you should be fine. Equipment is super fun and easy to get the hang of.
Way to go , Dan!
Wow what a nugget! Glad you a great one for the challenge.
Dan has lots of experience he has unbelievable knowledge ,challenging him is a wrong wrong decision
Hell ya Dan we knew you could do it. 🙌🙌
Dan: You have the best gold prospecting show out there. Thank you for bringing the fun and discovery to the screen. Keep it going!
I can relate. Working on an archeological dig, with constant running water, on my knees washing sand and pebbles in the freezing rain were some of my most miserable days.
Nice Big Nugget Dan! But the time Spent with Dad is PRICELESS! Cheers JJ
Hi Dan! Next time use the smaller bucket for the excavator. You’ll have much better luck ripping through rock. Also, use the stick boom, also known as dipper boom to pull your bucket back towards you always keeping bucket as flat as possible. Think 90 degrees to 45 degrees. Enjoy you much!
Great content as usual and I echo the comment on how fortunate you are to still have your dad!!
Dan, WTG, and what an amazing helper!!
It would be super cool if u put the time of day and the temp in a corner for us to know what ur doing better. Cold makes every job harder but also makes hard work less sweaty. Idk about working in sub freezing temps though
Dan you are such a nice guy, very smart man when it comes to that field, good luck 😁
Congratulations Dan great find...
The gold videos are fun and all but I like the Jade and gems episodes the most.
Great gold Dan! Excellent excavator operation, you picked that up quickly. You are correct, that is absolutely beautiful country!
Hi Dan, im a subscriber for a while now and enjoy your vlog.I hope you find so much gold, you'll need the machine to lift it. God bless you and all the best!
awesome nuggets and such a sweet operation with your Dad!
You know when things are serious when you take your dad along ! A nice bit of gold to end the year on, well done !
It's cool that you get to spend so much time with your dad. My dad is an extreme workaholic, even though he should have properly retired by now. He's so all over the place, it's difficult to align my available time with his so we can hang out.
Enjoy your adventures. God Bless you and yours.
Very fun, can’t wait to see the next video for the final two days
Sweet . Exciting pod cast.. and Burrrrrr
Very exciting episode. Loved it.
Well done! I can’t believe we got a collab with Mr Beast! Dan hopefully your subs go way up so they finally represent your efforts and video quality!
He has to put "Mr. Beast" in the title to get the juicy algo hit
Good job man!
Hey ,if you ever have to mine in the cold again ,you could buy yourself an on demand propane water heater . And you could have instant warm panning tub & with a hose and sprayer it would come in handy for de-icing the sluice .
He has a campfire already , and , running water .
Just add a tap to run some through a coil of copper pipe laying in or over the fire , and he's golden .
Works for thawing pay as well .
That's so great to see Doug again. He does remind me of my dad. I'm glad you found your nugget, but if you want to up the efficiency of your plant take a blow torch to the nozzles and soften them up and squeeze them flatter. That will make the water pressure you have and jump it up significantly as its forcing the water through a more narrow slot. That should make the dirt pile at the back of the rig melt away (like Butter😉).
The pump might not handle that. The higher u pump up the less pressure u get at the nozzle. Restricting the flow to create more pressure can really slow down ur flow when combined with the elevation change
@@kylealexander7024pressure doesn’t increase, water velocity will
@spencebrown19 idk. I'd have to re study that specifically. It's going to cause issues doing what OP said
Wow, what an unexpected surprise, a Tuesday evening video from Dan! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💰
You need a tooth bucket for that material! Love the hard hat on top of the sun hat!
Dual joystick excavators r so much fun to operate when u get the feel for the specific machine. Almost feels like the bucket and boom is like ur hand and arm. So much fun to operate. Especially a mini like that. I do prefer a closed cab tho. F the outside conditions
Congratulations!!
Great nugget to win a challenge with.
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
Well done Sir! Love seeing that GOLD!
Great video Dan!
😂❤ learning curve 🎉 and Dad SLAYED the water pump 😂 hope all the towels made it 😂
You should make a giant gold pan attachment for the bobcat!
great work Dan!!

Dan da man did it again. CONGRATS!!!

Awesome Dan nice spot you got there buddy 💪
Great video Dan!
Awesome nuggets. I love A&W rootbeer, they should bring those drive-ins back. I remember as a kid going there w family and the waitress would bring the food to the car riding rollerskates and hang the tray on the sidewindow.
You have an awesome claim and happy holidays my man.
🔥⚒️💯✌️🙂🔥
I love that! Your dad rebuilt the pump in your hotel room!
Congrats Dan!!
