We've heard of yet another train derailment & yesterday I saw a short Biden of a man who discovered a "derailment device" on the tracks near his home. Can you share your take on all of this?? I'd appreciate hearing from someone who knows that world of trains. 😊
@@jammerjen5504 Derailers are pretty common around yards, or anywhere else you don't want train cars getting loose. They upset the wheels just enough to set them on the ground, they won't cause a train to roll over half way through its journey.
I found a black gold nugget a couple weeks back. Almost threw it in my lead bucket. Even the local prospecting shop told me it wasn’t gold. Got home and acid tested it. Sure enough it’s gold. Soaked it in acid for a couple minutes and it cleaned up beautifully :)
Great video Dan. I love watching you on the hunt for gold. You are never a failure. And I'm really enjoying your bits of wisdom with your geology lessons for the day. I hope 2023 is that fantastic year for you!
Black Gold is the name of a famous City here in Brazil (Ouro Preto) due to the fact that there was a lot of this kind of gold when the place was discovered by explorers called "Bandeirantes" in the XVIII century.
We have rockhunts that surprise us often, when we expected to find very little. Those days are pretty exciting!Then other times, we just can't find anything worth taking home. It is always fun looking though! And I'm with you on needing to get back into shape after the long winter. 😅
I'm loving the #GLOTD you're now doing. While I know most of things you're explaining, it's always nice to have a simple reminder. Keep up the great work Dan!
I loved this video. Not a failure. I especially love the sounds of rocks being moved, shoveled, tossed into that machine. And running water. Very satisfying and calming. I could probably fall asleep to it.
It's great that you got to connect with Brent down in Cerro Gordo. He's sure got the ole Spirit when it comes to that Ghost Town. I hope he's able to find a vain so he can finance the updates he wants to do in the town. Great video Dan, keep 'em coming!
I hear ya there Dan, it's been a very indoor winter for me and I get winded checking the mail haha. I've been getting back in shape aerating my lawn and panning out the core plugs just for fun, as I do have black sands and flour gold in my yard.
Great show, dano. Im gonna make my way out towards hope and yale again. Love the mtns, and the fraser river is so epic. Panning is good, and plus, i can cast a line for the elusive stergon at the same time.
I can't think of the Fraser river without thinking of the song "Northwest Passage" by Stan Rogers. Anyway, regardless of how you feel, you're not a failure, and I will watch literally every single video you make whether you find stuff or not!
I’ve found same. Was collecting magnetite to smelt iron. Started finding gold when crushing magnetite. I’ve read that gold dissolved with manganese precipitates out of solution when iron oxides are encountered.
Nothing is strange Dan. You sure know your rivers, how they run. Reading the rock's. You are always entertaining and educational, plus funny as well. Thanks Dan. Regards 🇿🇦.
Hi Dan! Thx for taking us on another beautiful adventure ... question for ya: would the moss on the rocks possibly have trapped pieces of gold too?? My hubs & I both enjoy your content ... you certainly are a gem to watch! 👍
Dan, Just a suggestion: When you show the pieces in the pan closeup could you put in a penny or a clear ruler so the viewer can get a perspectivie of the sizes of the pieces you are looking at? Thanks for making these videos, it is amazing what is under a rock!
Never ever call yourself a failure!! Be kinder to yourself!! Even if you didn't find what you hoped for you still had a good workout and you have been out in nature breathing clean air. There are plenty of people around who'll tell us what failures we are but... As a role model for your own children you should never say negative things to or about yourself!! It's bad for the soul and overall sense of well-being. Positive feedback will make you feel positive!!
Who knew that having trash on a beach could be useful. Him getting a clue that someone else had already been through the gravel due to there being no lead and stuff is amazing.
You should head to Wisconsin sometime and go hang out on the beach with Jason the Mason from Flour Gold Wizards.. You won't see any big gold at all, but I'm sure you'd get plenty of flour and put him to shame :P They've also got some places with some really cool minerals around the great lakes.
Dan, add a shirt line on your highlander with a split ! End of on split will be short to hook your hose to that end ! Run the other to the other end and a way to use one or the other ! With this addition you can run the highlander either direction by hooking your water input to which ever end to position it the way you want and you will never have to load from the back again !
Hi Dan! First time we saw black gold like that was here in Stanton Arizona. We saw it in the pan behaving like gold and were completely at a loss. Finally we spoke to an older miner from this area and he said this area was known for that! Who knew? Thanks for sharing :-)
Definitely not a failure. I never knew there was gold that was "black". Makes me want to go up to Hope and Yale on the recreational spots and try some panning.
It's the same in middle Montana, weather wise. Spring is quite near, but not yet. I found a great many 'holes' dug into the ground at what seemed to be random spots in the Pioneer mountains hunting elk. I found out these holes were probes by miners. I was near Bannack, Mt.
interesting, this black gold, dan hurd is the only gold related channel i follow and he pops up with a video about just after i randomly saw a guy vacuum a bunch of gold in a river that also had it and he didnt know gold could be like that 😅 great timing now i know more about this black/brown gold
We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. We dig the whole day through. We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. That's what we like to do. It ain't no trick to get rich quick When you dig, dig, dig with a shovel or a pick In the mine (echo) In the mine In the mine (echo) In the mine Where a million diamonds (echo) Shime We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. From early dawn till night. We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. Up everything in sight. We dig up diamnds by the score. A thousand rubies, sometimes more. But we don't know what we dig them for. Still we dig dig digga dig dig.
Great video Dan, Victoria Australia is close to 99%, australia in general is very high 95 to 99 but I hear New Zealand and Scotland is the purest Cheers
Strangely Dan i get the feeling there would be another band of paygold near the treeline, dont know why but i get the feeling that in times past the water was up that way a lot until some blockage or another moved downstream lowering the rivers level ....
I live in the Klondike, and here, Hunker Creek has lots of black gold, and dark gold as well. Bonanza Creek, on the other hand, has lots of quartz with the gold, which of course can explode when it is heated! So, jewellers have to know where the nuggets come from, although most can tell just by looking at them. Every creek has its own kind of gold.
Thanx for all the information again. Question to Dan Hurd: You think the waterpressure on your mashine might be a bit to high, so could be that some big flakes are flushed out ? I`m not an expert in Goldmining,... I don t know better, just askin.... like your videos very much
Dan, on the subject of alloys. I had a friend who's father mined manganese out of the foot hills of Arkansas. He always carried a gold nugget Zippo lighter. The story was he Got it in Nevada but could the nuggets actually have come from the manganese mines? I understand no one will ever really know, but it would make sense why he was addament on mining "manganese "
Hey Dan, that black gold will stand out on/in that beard for sure! lol! No salting with that gold! Lol!.... you'll get in shape at Brent's Cerro Gordo lol!😅 Enjoy...
What a beautiful day it was for you! I was fearing you were going to crush a finger while moving those big stones! I keep thinking if I were with you and we weren't finding gold I would break out a fishing pole.
Hi Dan! I watched another gold prospector that said the moss on rocks acts like the carpets in a sloughs. I see a lot of moss on the rocks in your area. Scrape that moss off and wash it in your pan. You may find gold that way.
Hey Dan FYI there has been at least 5-6 roads temporarily built through your claim Between 1940 and 1986 during the era that the north band Ferry that was in operation too access temporary warfes that were used clothes to lol. Lol.

The day being a failure does not make you a failure, good sir. You inspire and entertain many with or without the gold!
For $5 you could attach an adjustable bubble level to the gold hog and be able set the bank angle the same every time.
I'm sorry the railroad keeps ruining your plans Dan. They ruin mine every day. I'm a locomotive engineer.

@@6jonline Thank you for explaining that!! 😊

Got home and acid tested it. Sure enough it’s gold. Soaked it in acid for a couple minutes and it cleaned up beautifully :)
Which acid?
50% HNO3?

Looks like Yosemite Sam, acts like daffy, witty as bugs. Dan Hurd is a perfect mix of the entire bugs and tweety cast!

Had a case of the winter blues and this video helped to get rid of them...went for a walk in the sun...great vid ...keep them coming Dan !!!!
I really enjoy it when you add geology lessons. It's always so fascinating.
Dan there is no way possible for you to be a failure ever, you sir are a wonderful prospector! Thank you for all your videos!!
Thank you for sharing a beautiful day on the Fraser with us. I'm ready for camping in Montana this summer.
A crap pan for Dan would be excellent in Ontario, thinking I should move to BC !
I'm loving the #GLOTD you're now doing. While I know most of things you're explaining, it's always nice to have a simple reminder. Keep up the great work Dan!

Like Jeff Williams says: “Who needs a gym? Just be a gold miner!”
I loved this video. Not a failure. I especially love the sounds of rocks being moved, shoveled, tossed into that machine. And running water. Very satisfying and calming. I could probably fall asleep to it.
Thanks for the very enjoyable video. What beautiful country you come across all the time. Have a good one, and TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR HEART!!!
The beautiful nature shots in your videos make watching them worth it on their own! Cheers from Denmark for making, & uploading, your videos :)
Now I want to know the exception to the "no pure gold" rule.
A day out gold panning with you Dan is NEVER a failure! I can't wait to see a video with DALLMYD!!🥰
He's the Chuck Norris of geology. Dan kicks everything's ass.
@@RichardSavage76 You must not have seen too many other miners on youtube if you say that. By far TwoToes is the stand out from the rest.
By far my favourite youtuber. I ordered some of Dan's pay dirt and had a blast finding amazing gold.
I really enjoy what you do. And your spirit is contagious. You are truly a genuine good person. Much love.
Half a gram is still a good amount especially when you are having so much fun thank you for sharing this six stars
Love your enthusiasm Dan, you earned my sub a long time ago. You always cheer my day up with your enthusiasm.

Seen you driving on the highway yesterday! Great videos as always!
nice you got one it wasn't all bad your heart ♥️ was in the right place. thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😀

Hi Dan. This was a black gold for me as I never heard of it before.Great video & best of luck.Thank you.
hey dan love your videos keep em coming .
That was Awesome and Fun to Watch , TY Dan 😀👍👍👍👍👍😎 . SKK .

Wow!! Thanks so much for sharing this! I learn something from every video!

I'd love to see you do more videos witb your Bore Box or gold drop or other cool gadgets. I fknd those videos are always super fun!

That's awesome....in Philippines we have a lot of treasure...and we have lots of river.. I think we have enough gold over there ♥️♥️♥️
Always a pleasure young fella
Hey Dan, Gadzi needs one of your snuffer bottle holders, he keeps losing his bottle. Thanks for all the great vids🙂
good finding black gold

Hard work ! Make's the dream work ..Thanks for your videos Dan
this is an extraordinary finding ok once good luck friends 👍👍💪
Some gold is better than none and your videos are great Dan :)
Definitely not a failure. I never knew there was gold that was "black". Makes me want to go up to Hope and Yale on the recreational spots and try some panning.

If dan hurd is anymore short, he'd literally be a fantasy dwarf
I always wanted to try that..that’s really cool
Any suggestions on how to start for beginners
I'm only 5 seconds in and i already love this guy.
I'm loving these geology lessons of the day :)
Great video Dan.
It makes sense Dan, the large boulders are holding some gold in Place up there
Dig your pay dirt into buckets before you fire up the pump, then feed the plant so you save gas.
interesting, this black gold, dan hurd is the only gold related channel i follow and he pops up with a video about just after i randomly saw a guy vacuum a bunch of gold in a river that also had it and he didnt know gold could be like that 😅 great timing now i know more about this black/brown gold
We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.
We dig the whole day through.
We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.
That's what we like to do.
It ain't no trick to get rich quick
When you dig, dig, dig with a shovel or a pick
In the mine
(echo) In the mine
In the mine

Where a million diamonds
(echo) Shime
We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.
From early dawn till night.
We dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.
Up everything in sight.
We dig up diamnds by the score.
A thousand rubies, sometimes more.
But we don't know what we dig them for.
Still we dig dig digga dig dig.
We have a lot of rust stained gold in New England as well.
Your in amazing shape Dan!!! Heart surgery , shooting n producing your own tv channel!! Amazing buddy! Keep on kicking butt Dan:)
Get the clay claw for the Piglet, gets rocks very clean. I also heated and pinched the pvc to add more water pressure to the hopper. Nice work Dan.
Thanks for the tip!
If I could find that much gold here in Sweden I would be happy!!
There is no failure in trying, only in failing to try.
My new mantra.
Great video Dan, Victoria Australia is close to 99%, australia in general is very high 95 to 99 but I hear New Zealand and Scotland is the purest
Cheers
The only place I have ever witnessed black coating on hold has been the Black Hills of SD. And secondary silica deposit and rust or iron oxide
I'd love to go out and help this guy and have him bless me with his knowledge. I'll dig dan you just work that pan.
Strangely Dan i get the feeling there would be another band of paygold near the treeline, dont know why but i get the feeling that in times past the water was up that way a lot until some blockage or another moved downstream lowering the rivers level ....
In the Coachella Valley and Imperial Valley the native Gold has a high copper content and tarnished black.
I love the sound of throwing rocks on rocks

If the black coating is iron based, would those small pieces become magnetic?

Love your channel…I didn’t know “black gold” referred to anything other than Oil!!! Lol
Sierra Gordo is gonna be a good time . Have fun buddy
All that very small gold in the pan says a lot for the Gold Hog Piglet.

What a beautiful day it was for you! I was fearing you were going to crush a finger while moving those big stones! I keep thinking if I were with you and we weren't finding gold I would break out a fishing pole.
Nice gold, we take that gold any day here in Minnesota
All you need now is some Texas tea and you’re all set!

A lot of gold compared to what I find here in Indiana, nice video
Looks like the Gold Hog Piglet performed well at that Fraser claim : )
A day on the river is never a failure 😊
Hey Dan FYI there has been at least 5-6 roads temporarily built through your claim
Between 1940 and
1986 during the era that the north band Ferry that was in operation too access temporary warfes that were used clothes to lol. Lol.
"I'll take a rest after the next one..." is actually a check-box on the Cardiac Emergency Intake form XD
Dan, this video reminded me of: 🎵🎵...Black gold, Texas tea, well the first thing you know ol' Jed's a millionaire...🎵🎵
