  • Always love checking out new spots on the Fraser River. This spot took some searching, but eventually found the hot spot, and had a great first day to the season gold panning along the Fraser river. Which included finding a literal pile of gold.

Take into account the gas, travel time, and placer cost, and he's making less than $3/hr (of coarse this isn't including what he gets from RUclips, selling rocks/other minerals, etc.). A person definitely needs to consider it an enjoyable hobby first and foremost at that rate, anything else is a bonus.

    Dan can make more money from youtube ad revenue by just taking it easy and prospecting for gold, than he can by breaking his back shoveling and panning in one spot nonstop.
    Hard-core people like the nonstop gold panning....BUT the masses of people like the "adventure" of prospecting videos.
    So it makes more sense for him to cater to the larger audience....

    It is not only about showing pans with as much gold as possible in it. You give a very complete picture of not only goldpanning but also of what prospecting is all about.
