  • What a CRAZY trip to my DREAM claim. Spent two days with Pioneer Pauly and a few other friends gold panning and metal detecting my retirement claim and in a two hour time frame I broke every gold record I have ever set. Most gold, biggest piece detected, biggest gold ever found, best looking nugget, most WOOHOO's! I could not believe what I found. And day two the excitement turned to anger. Have a watch to check out the CRAZY adventure.

It takes guts to be able to put yourself out there. - especially on-line. Social media can be brutal. As a young person, I am guessing you’ve seen how it can harm. I guess my point is - I like Dan Hurd’s weirdness. He’s fun, entertaining, and enjoying life. I love that he’s not afraid to be himself in front of the masses. I’m guessing his students weren’t bored in his classroom. Kids learn more if they aren’t falling asleep. Lol
      P.S. Don’t feel bad. I tell my kids ( not really kids - they’re 24) to never ever stop questioning. Live learn love. Find that thing in life you are enthusiastic about and run with it. That’s where you’ll find true success.

      Those kids who make fun of you are probably suffering from low self esteem. They are picking on you to try to make themselves feel powerful. Or perhaps they are being abused at home.

      Because gold... And the silliest part... there is literally gold EVERYWHERE. A lot of it is so small, or so difficult to get to, that it isn’t worth the expense of even trying. But it is literally everywhere. If you live in an area where they have historically found gold you too can try it. Get a garden shovel, go buy a cheap gold pan (not that you don’t have the money for a more expensive one, but start cheap and work your way up) and head out to the areas that historically had gold. Once you find a little, you’ll be hooked. It isn’t called gold fever for no reason.

      @Badatallthis Stuff Mining claims are temporary. You can spend some time finding some that are about to expire, or that have been inactive (claims require some amount of labor over a period of time). Or, you could buy a claim from the owner. Or you can find an organization/group that allows members to mine there (usually either for free, a yearly fee, or share of the findings) or befriend someone with claims. CA has many precious gems as well if you feel like changing it up too!

    Claim jumpers should not only be charged but all of their equipment should be taken from them! They might think twice about doing it again if thousands of dollars of equipment is seized and never returned!!!! Some really nice gold Dan😍 looking forward to the next vid👍🏻

    So here’s the thing , I’m not really big on prospecting although my father certainly loved the idea . Don’t get me wrong , im a big fan of gold just not the work that’s involved in obtaining it from the earth . Dan gets my subscription not because of my interests but from the fact he is so engaging and entertaining while teaching something about a part of my father’s life that has been more of a mystery to me. I think now I understand him and my own spirit a little more .
    Thank you so much Dan

      @Badatallthis Stuff teehee :) why are you so upset? It took you 2 comments to come up with this one? The purpose of my comment was to inform you that what you thought you came up with, he had already stated in a summed up version. Clearly a judge would have to rule it that way to change the law. But if you want to double down on his statement you can. Doesn't mean I can't tell you it was pointless.

      "should probably be made in a courtroom by a judge" looks like something you added, but maybe he said it first and then edited his comment to delete it. So that's 100% my bad for not noticing he edited it. I just found out he lives in Canada, here in the US a judges decision is used in future cases. I don't know anything about other countries legal systems so I guess you got me there.
