I'm learning a lot from your videos. I've recently retired and I'm very interested in supplementing my income, which right now is only my Social security retirement. You're doing a great job with your work. KEEP IT UP!
Yup! Shale is one of my favourite things to pan - I was working it all day today. Hard on the hands though (Mike spilled a lot of blood today because of that shale).
When you’re deep into your work and have the wherewithal to pause, look up, and enjoy the beauty in which surrounds you. (About 2/3 the way through the video). Good stuff, Dan.
Dan Hurd definitely! It’s clear you care just as much for the environment you’re working in (or playing in depending on how you look at it), as for the work you’re doing! It’s a gorgeous area. Bet that waters cold too.
Been waiting for this BUT! there must be more!! In fact, I know there is because you made mention, you got some nice gold on your three day trip. That is a beautiful area for sure. Thanks for sharing.
That river is beautiful!! What a Great area to find gold!!..love your show, just watching your video is like going on a mini vacation for me..thank you!!
It seems such a good place ! Nice of you to show your buddies spots to dig, I feel like a day out with you would be like a huge leap forward in terms of experience 😂
Hello Dan Pete and Mike the water looks cold by looking at ur hands . Very nice of u to bring ur friends to ur claim . Bless u guys n ur Family's .... 😇
Beautiful scenery with no snow you are so lucky. It is melting here but seems to be taking forever I can't wait to go panning. Your whistling the farmer in the dell so cool!
Love the Thomson River! It hiding beautiful gold. You are very fortunate to be able to get out there with your friends for a few days and pan for gold. Good luck and I hope to see the results in a couple of days. Thanks Dan.
The Thompson is quite beautiful but so much bigger than what I'm used to prospecting. It's bigger than the Yellowstone and what I prospect is a fraction of the size of the Yellowstone. Big water, big gold I guess.
I've been watching "prospecting" videos for a long time, but have yet to get out and try my hand at it. Even if I found nothing it would be awesome to get out and see scenery like this!
Such a beautiful place! I'm glad I found your videos! Always interesting, and I learn something from every one! I have one question. How do you know where you can pan for gold without jumping someone's claim?
Would a small pump and hose help to wash out the bottom of the cracks? Many year ago ( before you were born ) I was working in northern Ontario and saw a backpack with a hand pump that fire crews used. I think it held about 10 gallons. Use it to wash out the cracks
If I wasn't on homeless benefits I would pay Dan thousands to keep his You Tube site alive. God bless you Dan and all that follow and love you. Scot UK. X
Hello Dan, Yet another wonderful day on your side of the rockies. Thompson looks good so far this year...and yet another fine video proving that not always following the golden rule about inside corners can still yield some gold...And another good tip for others about the open avaliability to try one's hand on the Thompson with reguards to open panning...can't wait for your next video...So until your next video, you and yours have a wonderful day...Bye 👍
Seeing the trains I sure don’t miss my days on the railroad... great video! Great spot. If you had more time I’m sure you guys would have found a lot more
Hello there,I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT MUCH WATER IN A GOLD BEARING RIVER since 2016 ,but dry river beds make good gold accessible in Downunder. Regarding the classifier ,I have been using taller version in my bucket last 30 odd years great for breaking clay, using only 1/3 of water, no splashing around.Your contraption is the first I ever seen apart from my own,but I would use it in a bucket.There would be market for them,but material (pressed metal 1.2 mm with hex. mesh, like honeycomb 7 mm) is hard to find.Mine was on the back of Amish made A/c units from USA.I got them in 1980. Wishing You and others up North Good Luck in finding that yellow stuff, regards George
I Just came here to leave this comment because i couldn't find all the Easter eggs so i will just leave this message here for my bonus! lol Thank you Dan Hurd!!!
Always carry your ' crack spoon " around ;) for digging out those crevices lmao ... If the police pull you over ... They might .... Laugh ... as long as u have gold to show xD ... Hahaha
@@jessewilson8676 pffft . a cop wouldn't know what to do with that lol xD My Gpa was a cop for 34 years ... Showed him my collection ... To him its no different than concrete
Awesome video Dan. Is it harder to eat bigger pieces there cuz the river seems to be at a straight spot? Do you plan on making any gem hunting/finding videos this summer? Be safe out there and Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Hi Dan... Are dredges allowed on the Thompson River? Great liking place to spend the day. How deep is the Thompson River? Thanks for sharing this information with us. Love your videos and I’ve learned a lot from them...! Have a great day and be blessed.

Dan! I live in gold hill NC. My creek is part of the original mining from 1840’ s. Have been mining good gold out of the bottom. At the bottom, in the pockets we have a lot of gray material, does this material contain gold as a whole? We find some but not a lot in it! Been two years mining same hole!
I'm learning a lot from your videos. I've recently retired and I'm very interested in supplementing my income, which right now is only my Social security retirement. You're doing a great job with your work. KEEP IT UP!
I love finding shales like that. You're almost certain to find gold in it!
Yup! Shale is one of my favourite things to pan - I was working it all day today. Hard on the hands though (Mike spilled a lot of blood today because of that shale).
A great place. Gold panning, train watching and maybe a little fishing.
When you’re deep into your work and have the wherewithal to pause, look up, and enjoy the beauty in which surrounds you. (About 2/3 the way through the video). Good stuff, Dan.
Thanks!
Dan Hurd definitely! It’s clear you care just as much for the environment you’re working in (or playing in depending on how you look at it), as for the work you’re doing! It’s a gorgeous area. Bet that waters cold too.
Great video as always. I've learned a lot from your videos and have put everything I've learned to use.

I've said it before and I'm saying it now: this place is beautiful, I love it !!!
It's a favourite spot of ours
Yeah the Thompson river is pretty good same with the Columbia River
I like these videos where you show where and why you dig where you dig.
Am I the only one who thinks watching this is super relaxing?
Beautiful Thompson River!
Love the Thomson River! It hiding beautiful gold. You are very fortunate to be able to get out there with your friends for a few days and pan for gold. Good luck and I hope to see the results in a couple of days. Thanks Dan.
It's a beautiful river, that's for sure.
The Thompson is quite beautiful but so much bigger than what I'm used to prospecting. It's bigger than the Yellowstone and what I prospect is a fraction of the size of the Yellowstone. Big water, big gold I guess.
I like the 'tips' bubbles. Looked like a beautiful day.
Thanks - it was great to get out!
Thanks for another great video, Dan, and for sharing your knowledge of prospecting. I really enjoy watching your videos. All the best!

I've been watching "prospecting" videos for a long time, but have yet to get out and try my hand at it. Even if I found nothing it would be awesome to get out and see scenery like this!
It's a great hobby!
Such a beautiful place! I'm glad I found your videos! Always interesting, and I learn something from every one! I have one question. How do you know where you can pan for gold without jumping someone's claim?

Great location and great video......tres amigos out gold hunting. Excellent
Would a small pump and hose help to wash out the bottom of the cracks? Many year ago ( before you were born ) I was working in northern Ontario and saw a backpack with a hand pump that fire crews used. I think it held about 10 gallons. Use it to wash out the cracks

We were on the outside corner (we should have be on the inside). I sure hope there are some gem hunting videos this summer.

Hi Dan...
Are dredges allowed on the Thompson River?
Great liking place to spend the day.
How deep is the Thompson River?
Thanks for sharing this information with us.
Love your videos and I’ve learned a lot from
them...!
Have a great day and be blessed.
No dredges in BC. Very deep at some place - guessing 20-30 feet.
Awesome view Dan
It sure is!
Nice mellow time. And a bonus. GOLD yea
Thanks!
You're living the life! 👍
BC is sure beautiful country. Reminds me of Washington hahaha the Thompson river looks nice Dan.
Thompson is my wife's favourite

One day I'll do that
Your full of knowledge and I really look up to you
Thanks!
You really need a check list,of all the different tools you should take with you on your prospecting trips.
True
Great video as always. I've learned a lot from your videos. Greetings Tom
Thanks!
So...say you found an old dried stream or creek and it's covered in small rocks and big pebbles. Do you clear them and dig the material under them?
One day I'll have to visit the Thompson, but after the water warms up a bit lol.
Yup, it's cold!
Great video. Just goes to show that there is still gold out there if you are willing to put in work to retrieve it.
Thanks!
Great 👍 great work! Again very insightful and truthful recoveries, maybe hold you gold falcon in your back pack for those tight small questionable area
Who are the haters always leaving a thumbs down?..... thanks for sharing another great video.
Seriously?
What a bunch of shit heads
Thanks!
Your a lucky man to live in such a beautiful area.
I agree
Love the scenery
Dan! I live in gold hill NC. My creek is part of the original mining from 1840’ s. Have been mining good gold out of the bottom. At the bottom, in the pockets we have a lot of gray material, does this material contain gold as a whole? We find some but not a lot in it! Been two years mining same hole!
I really love watching your videos I've done some panning just messing around would love one of your pay dirt bags
Thanks! I don't sell paydirt
Dan I'm new to panning is there gold along the whole river and how would I find out if there is a claim in a specific area, thank you
