Great job Dan and Dad Enjoyed watching you and your dad today. I was born on my dad's birthday when he was 33 I'm 60 now and he's 93 still doing everything himself including playing pool a couple days a week. Glad to see you guys having a good time together hold on to the time you can spend together you can never make it up after time goes by. Take Care and have a restful Sunday afternoon..
He started to get a little chocked up when talking about that town. I respect a heart like that. It would be cool to hang with this guy just to listen to his stories.
This was the top comment that showed for me without opening them, and at the beginning of the video I didn't know Dan's Dad was in the video. At first, I thought you were trying to talk about Dan, and I was so confused because I was sure Dan isn't 77 years old! 😂
Dan, You're like the Bob Ross of geology. I subscribed to you the very first time I ever watched a video of yours. We just absolutely love your wholesome content!
That's so cool that you and your father can prospect together! If I had to guess I'm sure you got your passion for it from him. My father recently passed away late May this year. This was nice to see. Great content
I'm a year older than your dad 78 born 1943 Wish I could get around as good as him. I have COPD cant get out much. I enjoy watching you find gold. I pray for you ,and hope you find more gold.
I can only imagine the full on wholesome chaos that would happen if Dan got together with Jeff Williams. Thanks for another great video Dan, Great Finds!
It's lovely to see you with yr dad because I lost mine about 15 years ago its so nice to see you out with yr dad your so lucky lookafter your self stay well and look after dad
Beautiful country, Dan! Your pops is doing GREAT, IM 68 and cant get around like he was in the vid! Nice seeing you work together, getting out in the wild and having fun... course, if my Pops were still with us, he'd be 116 !!
I just checked Lytton has been erased from the map. I feel so bad for those people who were displaced or got hurt. I can't imagine being in a wild fire like that. Great content Mr Dan!
all that "flour" could be dissolved in a solution and then refined...or rendered out with a forge...maybe not as fun as finding nuggets but making nugs could be fun at the bank
I agree. This would make a good video from an experienced prospector. Not just the basics of how but also things we should know, things he wish he knew when he started. How to from a genuine expert on the topic.
Good afternoon. Thank you for another well done video - including overcoming camera woes. You showed us more than just the success in your pans. Sharing the adventure with your dad, the beautiful scenery - as always, and the reality of Mother Nature - the Litton remnant. Always look forward to Sundays with Dan.....and thank you for the Dallasite palmstones, simply gorgeous!
I totally agree! I hate that horrible, artificial noise drowning out nature's beautiful soundtrack. So many RUclips videos use this kind of awful noise as their "music" 😖 It's not cool - It's annoying. Makes me wanna mute them. More natural sounds, please 🙏🏼
I'm, not a prospector, but there's always something to learn in these videos. And then there's the scenery...so different than the Olympic Mountains where I spent my childhood hiking.
Dan, Glad to see you and dad. You are looking stronger and healthier every video. Hope you are feeling as good as you look!! That beautiful stuff you keep finding at you’re claim just shows your keen eye when prospecting. Congrats!! Where’s mama and the boys??
Nice father and son having a day out on the claim video, gold is the bonus, seeing you two together is even better. Thanks Dan and Dad, we appreciate you!
Love the video now that it's cooling down here in nevada my grandsons and I are going to the claim. They love going out and digging for me. They are both 21 now we have a lot of fun together.
Dan I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for putting the weight of gold it puts things in prospective. And your last video of the family swimming was fun! Driven past Oyster Bay many times, Vancouver Island Canada 🇨🇦
After watching 1000's of gold finding videos inc ones by a hilarious guy who doesn't know he's my Uncle, and, after 5yrs of being reminded that we're related to 2 of the world's most popular & successful Psychic Mediums, I asked to know if a specific area of Scotland was really Full of Gold; Motionless, I heard a LOUD metallic DING!!!
I got a big thick flake last weekend at my claim we called the Heart Flake, looks alot like the ones you got earlier in the video and heart shaped like those. It was a small picker anyway. It's so exciting!
I was just thinking that we hadn't seen a piece of gold on bed rock in a while...😍 "These buckets get heavier as the day goes on..." Unless you find some very good gold, then it is remarkable how light the buckets get! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, for sharing the wonderful scenery. The beautiful day and the treasure hunt. It was wonderful seeing your dad again. May God continue to bless you and yours Amen.
Wonderful to see you and your father working together searching for gold. I hope to do the same thing with my father some day, once I return to Canada.
So lucky to be panning gold with your 77 year old father. I think I'll pay mine a visit...we're not in gold country and I'm sure he'd love doing this, but he'd also just love watching a football game and having beers. That will have to do.
WOW y’all found some awesome pickers !! Also hi there Dan’s DAD !!! Good to see ya!!! Looks like a great spot to sample pan. Good luck y’all !!! Sure wish I was there prospecting with ya !!!
Wowsers, sorry to hear about Litton... we've lost a couple of little communities to the wildfires here in Northern California as well. All I can say is I hope the town comes back stronger and more vital than ever.💖💯
You two are Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!! So sorry about Lytton.. very sad.. did not hear how many Lytton First Nation homes were lost..😢♥️😢
Absolutely love all the videos Dan and the crew. Hope to run into you guys playing in the dirt one day. If your ever on the Sunshine Coast BC would love to have a coffee.
Dan love the way and your family enjoy the hunt for treasure together. Not like nowadays most families inside the house on the internet and there phones.
@4:32 finally a pan for Pioneer Pauly!!! All good lookin' blacksand without the annoying yellow stuff!!! 😅😅😅 Great video Dan, well done!! Stay safe & healthy!!!
Hey Dan..I'm a big fan of your videos. I've come to notice your minimalist mind set, yet you have no chair. I recommend a bike seat, nice wide one. Stab the stem into the ground/sand/gravel, and you now have knee relief when panning.
Terrific video, Dan! Tough lockdown here in Melbourne, Australia has resulted in not being able to get out for some prospecting in nearly 3 months... we become the world's most locked down city on Thursday. Your videos make being stuck at home easier. Thanks heaps!
Great job Dan and Dad

Love it, your dad smiles even when he's not smiling. Good time in a beautiful setting.
This explains where Dan got his awesome personality from, doesn't it? 😊
He's still in awesome shape for a 77 year old
Before I watched the video, I read the comments, I saw this and I thought you were talking about Dan!
@@greatnath same here lol
wtf
sure wish my 79 year old dad would be 10% of the shape Dan's dad is in!!!!
Stay healthy & safe!!

Dan,
You're like the Bob Ross of geology. I subscribed to you the very first time I ever watched a video of yours. We just absolutely love your wholesome content!
I'm a grumpy old man and not much makes me smile, but you do and your dad being with you is a cherry on the cake... thanks kid. I mean it
Also you two are so blessed to be able to share these experiences. Congratulations! I love seeing this!
That's so cool that you and your father can prospect together! If I had to guess I'm sure you got your passion for it from him. My father recently passed away late May this year. This was nice to see. Great content
Deepest Sympathy to you and your family.
Great video & I love it when you bring your dad along too. He has such a lovely smile. Great pickers & the scenery is so awesome.
I love seeing it when your dad goes with you that's just amazing how you guys interact not everybody has that
I'm a year older than your dad 78 born 1943
Wish I could get around as good as him. I have COPD
cant get out much.
I enjoy watching you find gold. I pray for you ,and hope you find more gold.
Lost my dad about ten years ago so it does me good to see you guys hanging out together. Enjoy that time it’s gone too soon.
Appreciate all that wonderful time with Dad. Someday those memories will fill you with joy
Hanging out with your dad all day in relative comfort, having fun- Golden!
I can only imagine the full on wholesome chaos that would happen if Dan got together with Jeff Williams. Thanks for another great video Dan, Great Finds!
Wow bless you all, Father and son together... Doing stuff you all love doing. The way to live.
It's lovely to see you with yr dad because I lost mine about 15 years ago its so nice to see you out with yr dad your so lucky lookafter your self stay well and look after dad
Glad to see you are both injoying some quality father & son time! Love your video's
It is awesome that you are doing this with your father..... AND you got it ALL on camera. Good times! It's worth MORE than gold!
Beautiful country, Dan! Your pops is doing GREAT, IM 68 and cant get around like he was in the vid! Nice seeing you work together, getting out in the wild and having fun... course, if my Pops were still with us, he'd be 116 !!
Hello from Idaho. Love your channel. Love your dad, he's got the best personality and smile. And you too!
I am glad that you and your Dad still have these adventures. I'd give anything to be able to walk ditches with my Pop again.
He's a lucky man. Lost my dad last year
I swear I never get tired of looking at a gold flake I just Find all this so fascinating. Love it keep up the great work
Nice Work, Dan & Dad !
Excellent move on concealing the exact location.
Make the Thieves work for it.
How nice that Dan spends quality time with his Dad!
Great day hanging out with your dad. Great finds.
Quality time with Dad !
Awesome way to spend the day.
Awesome video, beautiful scenery with two great people. God bless and stay safe and well 🙏🙏🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💖💖
I just checked Lytton has been erased from the map. I feel so bad for those people who were displaced or got hurt. I can't imagine being in a wild fire like that. Great content Mr Dan!
Dan, I think you’re the only prospector that says “the fine gold doesn’t add up.”
Results may vary depending upon the prospector's situation and method.
@@vtgoldprospector Yeah whatever
It all adds up
Yep... Not a big deal to save the fine gold and sand (1/2 liter) and take home and run over a Miller Table
all that "flour" could be dissolved in a solution and then refined...or rendered out with a forge...maybe not as fun as finding nuggets but making nugs could be fun at the bank
Best show ever with your dad! It’s good to see you guys having fun! 🙂
It looks fun, glad you and your dad had a blast!
Hey Dan, can you do a video on how claims are established and what goes into having a claim?
You can google it. If youre from Bc its pretty basic too.
I agree. This would make a good video from an experienced prospector. Not just the basics of how but also things we should know, things he wish he knew when he started. How to from a genuine expert on the topic.

Great video, so nice that you can get out with your dad. Looking forward to watching all your videos. Thank you
The sounds of nature are the icing on the cake, almost like being there.
I totally agree! I hate that horrible, artificial noise drowning out nature's beautiful soundtrack. So many RUclips videos use this kind of awful noise as their "music" 😖 It's not cool - It's annoying. Makes me wanna mute them.
More natural sounds, please 🙏🏼
What joy it was to spend that day prospecting with your dad.
I'm very pleased to see you panning with your Dad. 💪💪
reminds me of watching my dad play baseball. those are memories that build lives. you can never have enough of them.
Fun day out with your dad !!! Looks like you're feeling great !!! Thanks for the fun video !!! 😃
Great to see you spending family time with your dad The family involvement always makes your videos fun to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
How awesome is it that you get to hang out with your dad all day doing something so fun and exciting!
It really is!
Your dad's got that Roy Scheider vibe about him! Glad you guys can go out there and do what you love together.
That's a beautiful little side creek coming in. And a day with your dad.
The video quality is really bad 👎
@Eynav Benjamin I am curious on why you say that, and how I can improve.
@@Danhurd the video quality was just really bad. I love your videos and enjoy watching them regularly
@@Danhurd Maybe he just has a potato computer and internet connection. It all looked great to me at max settings.
I'm, not a prospector, but there's always something to learn in these videos. And then there's the scenery...so different than the Olympic Mountains where I spent my childhood hiking.
Gosh what a great spot!! Love to your Dad for helping.
Dan,
Glad to see you and dad. You are looking stronger and healthier every video. Hope you are feeling as good as you look!! That beautiful stuff you keep finding at you’re claim just shows your keen eye when prospecting. Congrats!! Where’s mama and the boys??
I love the sound of the creek. As long as it's in the background, it's not distracting at all.
Talk about spending quality time together. Awsome
Nice little piece of gold in the shape of a heart on the second pan
....sweet.
You guy have great genes, you two look marvelous.😊...💛 your videos!
Nice father and son having a day out on the claim video, gold is the bonus, seeing you two together is even better. Thanks Dan and Dad, we appreciate you!

Awesome, thank you!
A whole bunch of fine gold! I am glad you get to do this with your father. He looks like quite the character, like his son. LoL
After watching 1000's of gold finding videos inc ones by a hilarious guy who doesn't know he's my Uncle, and, after 5yrs of being reminded that we're related to 2 of the world's most popular & successful Psychic Mediums, I asked to know if a specific area of Scotland was really Full of Gold; Motionless, I heard a LOUD metallic DING!!!
very nice seeing Mr Hurd senior . looking forward to seeing more of him in your videos Dan :)
Your dad is in great shape and your lucky to be able to spend the day. With him dan spend as many as you can with him. Nice gold to.
I got a big thick flake last weekend at my claim we called the Heart Flake, looks alot like the ones you got earlier in the video and heart shaped like those.
It was a small picker anyway.
It's so exciting!
Very cool
I was just thinking that we hadn't seen a piece of gold on bed rock in a while...😍 "These buckets get heavier as the day goes on..." Unless you find some very good gold, then it is remarkable how light the buckets get! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I panned for my first time recently at a tourist location in Alaska, and I enjoyed it, but i need to start prospecting, it looks so fun!
Great way to spend the day...cool dad, great scenery and pickers!
Yes it was!
Pickerton vids are always a treat!
Dan's Dad looks like he's really lovin the making of this video!! Love this channel!!
Thank you, for sharing the wonderful scenery. The beautiful day and the treasure hunt.
It was wonderful seeing your dad again.
May God continue to bless you and yours Amen.
Wonderful to see you and your father working together searching for gold.
I hope to do the same thing with my father some day, once I return to Canada.
I'm glad to see another video with your dad.
That sucks that you have people on your claim. Thank you for generously sharing all this with us.
Hey Dan, give me permission to camp on your claim and I'll fill the buckets for you and your dad. lol, that area is absolutely beautiful.
permission? Jump that claim while walking past it hahah.
@@dukeman7595 that's just scummy, not to mention he charges claim jumpers as he should
Awesome times out there with your pops, cherish it .
Always nice to spend a day with ones Dad. Great gold, thanks Dan.
So lucky to be panning gold with your 77 year old father. I think I'll pay mine a visit...we're not in gold country and I'm sure he'd love doing this, but he'd also just love watching a football game and having beers. That will have to do.
love that you and dad did this together!
Absolutely awesome looking day and gold! Your so lucky to get to spend that time with your father on the river. Love it. Right on! 🤘😁🤘⛰⛏🇨🇦
Honestly thanks Dan's dad!!! I loved that town!!! Seeing thst burnt timber was sad
I just love watching you work with your dad! Good luck and I predict you will find 6 more pickers at least!
Uncle Dan and Grandpa! Thanks for the Sunday Video Dan!
Our pleasure!
Love it....panning with your dad!
Seems like he is a hoot !
WOW y’all found some awesome pickers !! Also hi there Dan’s DAD !!! Good to see ya!!! Looks like a great spot to sample pan. Good luck y’all !!! Sure wish I was there prospecting with ya !!!
What a beautiful place! The gold is just a bonus.
You both look great!
Thanks for letting us tag along.
My third day after beating Covid and nothing, and I mean nothing better that you and pop at PICKERTON!!
I am glad to see you back in action after your heart surgery.
You have earned my subscription :) Watched a few of your vids now, love the content, love the scenery,love the thrill of finding gold and love you !
DAN YOU ARE DEFINITELY a teacher thank you for the lesson!
Wowsers, sorry to hear about Litton... we've lost a couple of little communities to the wildfires here in Northern California as well. All I can say is I hope the town comes back stronger and more vital than ever.💖💯
Love your videos Dan, again I would love to spend a day with you and learn a small percentage of what you know. Keep up the good work
Great video ; you and your Dad. Lots of fun
You two are Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!! So sorry about Lytton.. very sad.. did not hear how many Lytton First Nation homes were lost..😢♥️😢
How many pans of pickers can a prospector pan at Pickerton? Lol. Great seeing your dad again. Thanks for taking me along.
Lytton was one of my favorite towns in BC, too. Was such a shock when it burned.
Absolutely love all the videos Dan and the crew. Hope to run into you guys playing in the dirt one day. If your ever on the Sunshine Coast BC would love to have a coffee.
Maybe one day!
Dan love the way and your family enjoy the hunt for treasure together. Not like nowadays most families inside the house on the internet and there phones.
Another great Pickerton vid Dan, keep em comin!
@4:32 finally a pan for Pioneer Pauly!!!
All good lookin' blacksand without the annoying yellow stuff!!! 😅😅😅
Great video Dan, well done!! Stay safe & healthy!!!
I just purchased my first gold pan lets see how it goes..thanks for the motivation
Hey Dan..I'm a big fan of your videos. I've come to notice your minimalist mind set, yet you have no chair. I recommend a bike seat, nice wide one. Stab the stem into the ground/sand/gravel, and you now have knee relief when panning.
Hello to ur Dad have a great afternoon Guys Bless u Both n ur Family's.... 😇
Terrific video, Dan! Tough lockdown here in Melbourne, Australia has resulted in not being able to get out for some prospecting in nearly 3 months... we become the world's most locked down city on Thursday. Your videos make being stuck at home easier. Thanks heaps!
Great video Dan! I love watching you find gold! I hope to use what I learn when I move to Alaska.
We would love to be able to get that much flower gold in nearly every pan. Congrats
