- Опубликовано: 6 янв 2024
- Last panning trip of 2023. I decided to go back to the best place I know and finish off with a great take of gold. And boy did I ever. What a great gold deposit I found to pan under this large rock.

People don’t understand the happiness from doing what you love far outweighs the extra money made from a drone job. Keep doing what you love Dan, genuine enthusiasm is my favorite part of your videos.
Thanks! Will do!
Thing is, I'll bet he makes more money doing what he loves than if he worked at a drone job. People with far less subscribers make a decent living off social media revenue. If he's only making 40% of his income from it at the number of subs he has, he's doing VERY well doing what he loves.
@@Patryn71 Seriously, this is the one. I manage content creators and 1.25M subs is not chump change...I can only imagine what he's making from his mining and I'm honestly surprised o.o
You have no idea how much your videos have helped me the past few years. I found you after my back surgery and i havent missed a video since. You make my Sunday every week.
Glad I could help
I want to tell those who don't know that you have a brother in Turkey who loves you. I am waiting for you to come Turkey. I would like you to be my guest, my brother. Take care.
You have no idea how much money Dan makes just from RUclips! You can look it up on the internet.
@rayon3383 70-100k. For the work that goes into the videos I hope his website is carrying the mail.
The greatest point dan makes is he loves doing this. I gold pan when I can on vacation and have a great time doing it.....he gets to do it and make a living doing it...I'm pretty sure he is winning.
You get to do something you love. The reward from that is priceless. The money is a bonus.
Thank you Dan for being so persistently positive and grateful. This world needs plenty more of that!
I love the sound of nature in the quiet scenes, the water smashing against rocks, nature is so beautiful
Thank you Dan. Your video made me less upset for the day. You have calmed me down enough to face this day.
Glad to hear it
Praying your day and week are happy! I agree, Dan's Sunday videos make me happy also!
@@leighanncronin6905 don't take this the wrong way, but prayers have never helped me. God himself stood in front of me, with my parents present and his exact words were. There's nothing I can do for him. But thanks though.
Oh I certainly do. I've done labor, sales and tech work as an employee along with working for myself and the last 20 years of working for myself has been way more rewarding. You really do get out of it what you put into it where as working for somebody else is much more limiting in pay and free time. Never become a slave to your work even if you work for yourself
Dan is living the dream.
Nothing like a classic panning video and wholesome comments down below. Thanks Dan.
The pan sequence @ 7:15 explained a lot to me. Glad to see it!
Also enjoyed the clear & polite explanations regarding these outdoor activities vs some dreary, soul-killing, dead end job, plus the unseen & not understood aspects, directed to those who think they know better than the person living it.
Respectful questions are generally better than attack-statements. ☮
One of the best gold prospecting channels I've found in a while really helping me learn what to do and whete to find gold
I'm with you too Dan....I would love to be out there panning. It's about the adventure and memories....not the money
Keep rocking in the free world dan!
Will do!
Nothing is free in this world anymore, man.
LOL had someone tell me I'd be better going through bins for cans LOL. Um I'll choose the creek 😂 great vid Dan 👍
Thanks for the great content Dan. Id be panning too if i could. Watch all your videos cause i admire your attitude and energy. Plus you are a skilled gold and gem stone prospector. Looking forward to many more episodes.
You really don’t have to justify your life choices but I get it how the trolls on social media point out the superficial points like $/hr activities. They only need to look at how happy you are and the great times you spend with your family to see where the real reward is found. That’s the true gold!
Congratulations on the great gold! Your panning and prospecting videos are my favorites. Been watching you on RUclips for years and years. Thanks for your easy to understand language and for sharing your bits of knowledge and golden wisdom! Blessings to you and all the Hurd herd!
That tenth 🖐 pan looked good. I guess I'm lucky to be one of the 4/3rd's that understands you just fine. ^_^
As always, it's a great video with lots to learn and even more to enjoy! Thanks Dan!!!
If the universe would grant me one wish, it'd be to be there with you prospecting, panning, messing around. Love this. Miss the good old days of doing exactly what you're doing today.
Gotta admire his feather-light panning technique! Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I went panning yesterday up here in Maine. The Swift River. Didn't find anything on account of the ground being frozen solid in most places despite the warm air temp. Great upload Dan. Thanks!
8:40 Not that its any of our business whatsoever, but dude it is really nice to hear you're doing well from all your work. I work as an archaeologist but am mainly writing reports in the home-office these days, wishing I was out in the field, or back on the placer claim which we don't hold anymore. Anyway, glad you're doing good. Keep at it! Get that yellow stuff
I’m so happy that you are doing well financially. Good people like yourself deserve a little reward in life. Love your channel. I’m going to try panning some day.
That's one heck of a claim Dan. I've never seen so much gold come from loose gravels like that. I'll maybe get a flake or two of flour gold but the Frazier has some pretty amazing stuff and what looks like high purity due to the color and softness of those really ultra flat flakes. Quite possibly liberated from glaciation.
There’s nothing better than getting compensated for doing what you love!
panning gold is a lot like fishing , it wont always pay off but its always fun
yes
Hi Dan, for me personally it would be very interesting to know why and how the Fraser is rich in gold. Could you give us some kind of geological insight? Regards Lex
yup the better day is outside in the open air.any day of the week and gold as well you can't ask for more.thank you for sharing the adventure and information.
Great day Dan . Always fun hangout with you . Blessings
Thanks for coming
For most people it's a hobby or a side hustle. There are very few people that have the skill and education to turn prospecting into a comfortable living. And now days it takes a special person to enjoy the work required to do this. Between Dan and Jason's videos I've learned how to and put into practice everything from placer to hardrock and smelting. Next work station to build is for chemical purification.
The other benefit of watching you enjoying yourself is learning a little how to do it ourselves. Most won’t try it, but hey, it does look like fun…
Thank you Dan for all the hard work you are doing to make us awesome videos ❤❤❤
Sundays are always a hard day for me mentally but with your videos and a few others who post they’ve become a bit easier to handle. So thank you for your contribution to the world. You help so many of us without even knowing it!
The Mudlarking videos in England and Scotland are fun to watch. They find some interesting things.
Greetings from the Czech republic. You are a fighter to find such a place. Congratulations. Beautiful gold
Keep rocking Dan….haters gonna hate brother. I’m 46 years old and this has been a lifelong dream of mine…just never pulled the trigger.
Hi Dan. Nothing makes me happier than seeing gold in the pan. That area is beautiful.
It seems that people don't understand the adventure side of what you do. I totally understand that. I recently took up metal detecting and have found some beautiful areas nearby that I never would have found without metal detecting
😂😂😂 I don't think I'd be able to STOP if I "found" my hot spot at the end of the day! Love your videos and live vicariously over and over!
Such positive and happy comments. Cheers dan keep on doin it you share so much joy.
Looks like another great day on the river Dan.
I'm in agreement, You must have the right attitude, Dan has that, along with his friends!
I need a place like that. Nice looking gold flakes, I love gold panning
Keep looking, hope you find it
Seems like a great way to spend the day. Out in natural air conditioning in front of the greatest big screen of all. Enjoying the suround sound of nature. Let em have Mickie D.
That was a fun day spent with mother nature.
I love your videos Dan. Your's and Pioneer Paulys are 2 of my 3 favorite subscriptions on YT. I also love it when you guys collaborate. Good stuff either way.
When you're out there painting it's the best work spot you can work fresh air Cool Breeze water nature😂 and let's not slam the people that work at McDonald's they work hard you enjoy doing what you do because it is your life and you are enjoying your life and that's all that matters😂❤❤
I'm not slamming those that work at McDonalds, I am slamming those who say I should work there rather than panning. I think that is very rude of them.
Dan it doesn’t matter how much you make!! It’s also none of our business, but if your making good money I’m happy for you!! You bust your butt to put out good content and you seem happy doing so! Love your stuff so keep pumping them out!!
Good video Dan, always enjoyable.
Oh, can I hear that wind in the background! We can get a lot better f it here in Montana as well. Thanks for all the informative videos in these past years Dan!
Happy New Year to you and yours, Dan. Thanks for all your educational gold panning videos.I watch them all and love every one.❤✌️
Any hobby, that you enjoy doing that pays at all is a good hobby and not a waste of time. Sounds like win-win to me. It’s like when I go fishing and I come back with a whole bunch of trout. I’d love to go fishing but I love eating them even more, and that’s definitely win-win for me or my motorcycling an essence it’s just going from one place to another and spending a modern amount of money if you’re lucky doing it but it’s worth it because it’s so much fun. Not everything has to be about greed and making money and earning a living.
Go easy my friend, and Happy Belated New Year to you all 🥰
I live in the city, work a minimum wage job to survive....watching these videos at least takes me away from all that for a little while, they are chill AF
I love that you explain that you are able to make ends meet via your land optioning and other precocious stone sales :) thats always awesome to hear, because now when you go pan or metal detect its purely content and FUN! Many blessings to you and your family Dan!
The agat was the best find of the day!
Well done Dan! Persistence pays off, nice results.
Hi Dan! I'm Dan! Everyone have a Dan'Dan day! Get out and get it!
Thanks for letting me learn as I am watching. Enjoy your videos very much .
The videos of you panning are nice but I really like the mine prospecting videos. would like to see more of those.
Your happiness clearly shows through your videos Dan! And like others your videos have helped me through hard times for a few years now. Gotta love how people always have something to say regardless of a situation, hell I’d love to come work for you sir!
It's always fun and interesting watching you, Panning.. life is good. Keep up the great work/ Playing.. Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
Good for you Dan!!!!!!!! Happy for you!!!! Definitely deserve to make money doing what you love! Thanks for the best content on RUclips
Thank you for the videos. Love it. Nothing but a shovel and your pan. I live in an area with very little gold. I have no claims. I have no social media. I still don’t mind hiking and digging for hours to make pennies.
Love how you put it in simple terms Dan, you do you and let everyone else deal with their own business! That being said I bought some pay dirt from your website and I had a blast found some gold and everything! Keep it up
Awesome Dan! I can’t wait to get back on the Fraser ! Your videos have taught me so much , thank you and keep on panning brother 👍
Dan, you do you. We'll keep watching.
Dan Thank You (and your wife and family) for the videos and Happy New Year! Oouuwwwww!
@DanHurd,. Holy cow you are way too nice to these people
(must be a Canadian thing). From my point you are here for educational and entertainment and when people make comments about your income or revenue, ignore them. You never need to explain anything to anyone on how you earn a living. I'm sure I speak for most of us and we just love watching, learning and being taken along for the ride on your adventures.
Thank you for all that you share and tell the others to pound sand.
I would much rather watch you pan than high bank. It satisfies something in me that wants it to be simple. Thanks for getting cold hands to entertain me.
Good for you Dan! It's nobody's business what you make except maybe Mrs. Hurd😂. Do what makes you happy.
I like the panning too… ya gotta pan out the sluices too, granted, but to watch it wash up out of the sands ❤️
Great video, as always Dan.
Thanks all.
Thank you
Thank you for your videos. You have the best job ever ha ha!! All the very best for many amazing finds this year. 💯👏🤞
Happy New Year to you and yours, you look like you were having a ball. Thanks for bringing me out into the Wilds of British Colombia. Be safe and always stay free! 🙀
Thanks again
Great video, thanks.
I’ve always wanted to look for gold…so cool
Keep it up Dan, don’t let the naysayers get you down. Love your videos, been watching three years. When I was sick in the hospital till now, I watch your videos to make my day. I have learned much about mining and prospecting, geology, from your shows. Thank you Dan! Ted.
Dan all I can say is WOW ! and I've been watching you a long time. Happy New Year from NC. ps, loved your vid from NC.
Appreciate your honesty and some information about your business. I saw your video on your visit to the Reed Gold Mine in N.C., USA. It's not far away from us!! Glad that you had a good time!! Thanks!! AND....Happy New 2024!!
Thank You Dan....
You are welcome
Awesome Morning to you Dan and Family. Fun Video today, Big rocks are heavy on Gold..ha ha Thankyou
Wishing ya Luck Dan!
Ty Dan
Thank you for the videos. I really love watching you and the Beautiful area in the background😅
Love your videos look forward to them all
Some very beautiful gold!
Thanks for sharing
🙏❤️🌲
I started gold panning back in June because I needed a new hobby, your vids got me into it and taught me how to do it. I live in the Okanagan, so it’s been perfect because I know the areas you go. Thank you Dan!
That is awesome!
Amazing video cant wait for the next one .
I love watching your videos after work, the positive energy and the fun you have is infectious (in a good way lol)
Hi Dan, i have recently had a chance to go panning on some rivers here in New Zealand. Its a very time consuming hobby and i totally understand why you love doing it. Love you content cheers. John.
Great job
Love your attitude. It's not about the gold as about the hunt! Keep them comming.
Great job Dan
Thanks
Dan the gold man!!!!!
Amazing you have to explain that it's not always about the money, sometimes it's about the experience... how many people have hobbies that they'll never make a penny off of but they still love doing it
Hey Dan. You are paying for gas bill to get there and back. The ones I don't under stand are hikers. It cost them to get somewhere to walk their their butt off. They could stay home and walk around outside round and round the house.
I used to hike but it was for hunting. Meat and mushrooms. But gave it up. Now I run up and down the river in My boat fishing for meat in the freezer. I was no born for sight seeing. Basically you are doing same thing I do. Prospecting for mushrooms in spring. Haha. I enjoy your endeavors. Keep on keeping on. Enjoy your time on this old rock.
Different strokes for different folks. We are all unique..
I appreciate the slow motion when you are panning. It shows me what motion is desirable.
Great job Dan. God bless
Love the channel and enjoy your upbeat attitude.
Thanks
Do what you love to do.... Your a great person keep it up 👍
Another excellent Video.
Well done 👍👍👍
