Hey that's my sluice box, right after the jig. I'm Gold Designs. Custom built that for them. Glad the guys are finding a pile.
Props to that operator who picked up a single stone with the bucket!!
dan is so old school friendly canadian...dying breed these days...stay kind stay blessed
I thought there was a law against it now. Nobody is nice, especially government employees.
I can't imagine the adrenaline finding that big nugget caused. 😮
I'd have to sit down and have a mild panic attack
@@nuru666 you're not wrong
I'd quit the job and start a new chapter of my life. You got to do everything and you only live once
@@shaunsmith7019Sitting there, cradling it... "My precious....."
Yea it only takes me finding a picked in my pan or sluicebox, to find more energy, sometimes I can be feeling tired and had enough for the day, and if I find a good piece of gold, I'm feeling no pain I'm wide awake 😅😅😅, it's such a buzz gild should be prescribed by a doctor 😂😂😂
I find a little gold everytime i pan the river near my house here in Ohio, obviously i'm about 200 years too late to find gold equal to the smallest flakes you may find in Canada, I always come away with a little though and it's adding up through the years.
That nugget with the quartz belly is beautiful. 😍
You have to love Dan Hurd's enthusiasm. His videos are great.
I worked in a small mine in eldorado county ca,in the 1970sand 80s,and crushed cemented gravel the nuggets look just like that and our biggest pice of gold was5.5oz.,so cool too see that gold in the rock before it was crushed,and seen a room miners made back in the day and you could see the nuggets in the walls on private property of course,new owners now cant see it but its there.i seen Mason jars full of dime size nuggets and it all went to china town San Francisco,waht a great experience in that time in my life.my wife had so nice jewelry from my earnings at the pit.keep it on coming,showing the real nuggs.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for bringing us along for such an adventure Dan!
Everyone discussing the gold, but it was the sleeping sheltie at 11:35 that caught my eye. I bet he'd be gorgeous if his coat was brushed out.
Ye
For anyone that is curious, 10 oz of gold is worth approximately $20.4k USD.
After melt, I’d assume they’d have 13oz of pure gold. I checked prices and it was $25,752 US or $35,339 Canadian. That’s a reasonable car lol
Plus nugget price
That nugget would never sell for spot. You could get at least a 2.5x multiplier from a collector.
What do you all think the operating cost per day is?
@@andymarshall33261800+ , they said 1000 in fuel easy plus workers, and all the business cost of maintenance on machines and other bills.
They should make a mold of the large nugget, cast it in resin, then make a resin copy from the mold to send to a brass foundry to make copies of the nugget. It's not every day you find something that amazing.
With your knowledge and level of excitement, you make an excellent teacher.
Dan your channel and Enthusiasm is great. Thank you.
Wow, what a good video-series, showing us the whole process of goldmining. Thank you very much - this is nearly the best gold video i have ever seen!
t would be nice to see another follow up video looking at the reclamation of the site and how it is done. Great work showing their operation and talking more about how mining operations at this scale work.
Boy I hope that they are treating that one with quartz specimen correctly. I'd love to get my hands on that one without dissolving the quartz
Wow, what an amazing cleanup! Thanks for sharing this experience!
My goodness dan i was waiting for this one!!
I was so excited that I didn't have time for a bathroom break!
Thank you for bringing us along and sharing in your joy and discoveries.
HARK! Thar be nuggets…and jungle rocks abound!!
Hi ho, hi ho; a-prospecting we’ll go!
With plenty nugs of gold we dug,
Make bright the eyes aglow!
Cheers Dan & the Miners of Flat Bear!
🖖😎👍
amazing! Thanks for the tour Dan
Loving this series on this mine. I would love to see more than just the two vids!
Hi Dan. Love your channel as usual. Joes a great guy, I live here where his mine is. He’s a hard working man and I am so stoked you visited these boys. I’m always wishing them good luck! Can’t wait to see how you make out up the drainage! Cheers
hello
Now this is an episode of Yukon Gold that I haven't seen yet. 😲 Nice nuggies !!
I've been following you now for awhile and every video puts a smile on my face
Hi Dan , hope all is well. Looking at that nugget, I wonder if any might get pushed out with the big rocks. And the specimen nugget is really cool.
Wow that's awesome thanks for sharing this video about hunting for gold nuggets! Mr Dan Hurd 😊
Wow Dan, thats amazing. Thanks for sharing the news.
At 13:57 the nugget in quartz would make a BEAUTIFUL necklace.
Been wanting to see something like this my whole life. Beautiful! Thanks a bunch.
Thank you Dan for this great video of your friends operation, that is beautiful gold man! Big cheers from another PNW'er and yer fans!
Glad you had Fun Dan & Au too!
OH MY GOD 😮 (I had to spell it out for emphasis!)!!!! The first thing that popped into my head when you grabbed the elongated first nugget was, "That's a golden key!" It certainly was what I would name it! What a fantastic opportunity and operation. That is the first time I saw and learned about a jig. Ingenuity at its finest. The end result was gleaming, clean gold. The jig takes out all the hard work of panning/shaker tabling the cons to separate out black sand, etc.
The Pinolyte was huge! From what I could see, the designs were just as stunning. I'm glad that they learned about this type of rock and are separating it out from the tailings. If I remember correctly, your first video at the Flat Bear Mine was when you discovered it and was on video discussing the gem and that this would be the only other place it was found. That is a pretty rare find and those specimens are huge!
I really love the smoothness of their mine. Although this happened to be an incredible day for them, they are trying to cross every T and dot each I. Such a beautiful place!
As always, I appreciate you sharing this incredible mine with us. Such a joy seeing golden goodness with smiles to match! May you always find gold between your toes! 🦶🦶 Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Looks like Yoda stuck on the end of that conveyor. 🤣 Someone help the little fella!
Great video and GOLD Dan!
Very nice Dan thanks for taking us along with you this trip it was very enjoyable six stars sir
I watch Dan for the fun, the adventure and the education, but this one also had a boatload of gold as a bonus! Awesome video :)
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too foreverm
To put into perspective, as of time of this post, 1oz of gold is about 1,900 USD
That is a wild find with that single big nugget.
2200 today!
Nuggets like that can fetch a nice price at auction. large nuggets are far more valuable when left unprocessed. Then again, it seems to be a show piece for the mine owners.
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Makes me wanna sell my house, relocate, and roll the dice. Thanks for yet another great video =)
What a great treat, being there for one of their best days !!! 🙂 Ty for the Entertainment Dan
Great clean up! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful take! Thanks for the dream!
Awesome video. Thank you, Dan!✌️❤
Sweet! That would be an amazing find! What a neat setup they have. How fun for you to be there.
Great show ! One thing I can say you never disappoint ! Your the Best out there ! Keep it up !
My fav piece was the one half quartz and half gold, absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for the video Dan, it was good.
Thanks for sharing what a great life these guys have👍

I just bought some of your pay dirt . I look forward to finding gold. This is my practice run on my 24 inch sleuce. I am excited. Feel free to drop that big nug in. Take care and keep up the great work
Man, that is a DREAM claim. And a fun group of guys.
Just loved the clean up jig
What an amazing experience that must of been!!
Whoa!!! Nice haul guys!!!

What an Amazing Adventure Guys Thank You 👍😃👍💖
Wow, thank you for sharing. Wonderful video. 👍😎
That transition was awesome. 10:43
What. A catch. Thanks for showing the big nugget.
HOLY GOLD FEVER BATMAN!!! Love the nuggies. 🤩
3:55 I LOVE how excited Dan is to find nuggets!! .. Even when they are his friends gold! :) .. He doesn't really care about the money .. it's just finding gold!!!
Awesome 👍💕 Every miner dreams of having that much gold in one day.
🙏Great video Dan🙏
You know I got excited about the whole panning for gold thing, as a new hobby. You know, something to do with my latter years... Went on Amazon got me a little panning kit and all that stuff spent about 60 bucks, only to find out that there's no gold in Texas 🤣🤣🤣 I was very disappointed
So what do they do with these nuggets they are finding? Do they process them with the rest of the gold, or do they sell them separately to collectors? How much gold do they find per a season? How much do they average a day?
Dan, I would love to see you visit more of these placer operations! Most of us really only know mining at 2 different levels: the hobbyist using high bankers or maybe a dredge, or the major commercial operations we see on “Gold Rush”. It’s awesome learning about the wide variety of mining that doesn’t get much attention, and the fascinating individuals making these operations work.
Fantastic gold finds
Omg those are huuuuuge nuggets! I was cheering out loud when I saw them!
Dan Hurd on the next season of gold rush?? That would be so cool..
What an exciting day. Lots of nuggets and that huge one, mind boggling
A couple of very nice necklace hangers ! The biggest one I've held was seven ounces , not mine though still very privileged to actually have held it. Gold is beautiful no matter what size from the smallest micro specks to that big beauty at fifteen ounces.
I like seeing the fresh taken gold the shapes were very interesting too. I could see several interesting faces in the gold
as a young Lad i have found Several Pieces Of Lost Gold Jewelry, a smashed ring on the street, and a necklace at a carwash. I should start prospecting ey. 😂
What a great day Dan....
And Joe and crew are awesome...
It's really hard work though, aye .......
So awesome. What an adventure!
That was awesome. Man I would be doing the happy miners dance for sure
Wow ! Great day .
Whoa, great find!
Those are some NICE chunkers!!!
What a nice Tuesday treat!!! Cheers from Toronto Boyz!!!
Amazing 15 oz nugget, great video.
I subbed to you years ago, and again today.
The "Key" nugget is awesome!!
.Hey Dan, that "Hand Full" matches that prospectors beard pretty well! Lol! .... Great excursion, Dan, seems like a good bunch of people, their getting good results! Interesting piece of equipment....⚒️⚖️💰🤠
A beautiful piece
Nice run. You let me know when it feels like a promo 😁
Been watching you for quite a while now.
Come and join us on live chats with Dan's Sunday premieres. They are at 6 AM Pacific Time. We all enjoy the stories of what each person has found/done for the week. I always learn something new because Dan has his "Geology Lesson of the Day" (or GLOTD), in which he shows in depth explanations on finds and answers questions. Dan has an incredible knowledge base and wants everyone to learn. Hope to talk to you there! Welcome to the Hurd Herd!
Just dropped by because I saw your monster gold nugget in the thumbnail, VERY COOL, Dan! Good for you!
Top shelf video!
Good haul.
Molson Canadien! I miss that! I could get that in CT, but in FL, it's ALWAYS skunky by the time I find it here.
These are some pretty food Ole boys to be sharing stuff like this with us.
Nice work
That was awesome Dan! They made a lot of money that day.
Respect the hustle dan we were waiting for the big find 😂
What amazing and large nuggets!
Such a cool operation! So, that was what, a $16K to $20K day? I wonder how much they have to find per day to stay ahead of the game. Very nice video, Dan!
