Gold Nuggets found at a Copper Mine, in Tailings!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Dayna and I headed back into the Golconda Copper mine to investigate a huge pile of mine tailings (Mine Ore) that was left behind when the mine shut down almost 100 years ago. We ran this crush material through the new Gold Hog Z3 High Banker. And the results were very surprising in a very good way. GOLD NUGGETS!

Of all the gold and gems Dan finds, his greatest treasure is still his Dayna. ❤
behind every good man is a wife who is tired of his jokes
if he's good enough, she doesn't mind too much.
She might be waiving that shovel for more than one reason? lol.
My x used to tell me how many times she had heard each story. I miss her
Preach it!!!
Boy ain’t that the truth lol
I'm with Dayna. She does all the Work!
Mad respect for gold hog sending products to not only test but also improve for everyone to see.
Looks like running the tailings is worth it. Gold Hog did a great job with the Z! It's a little monster!
My place was always beside my husband. I miss that. Glad to see you and your wife working side by side. Others could learn from your example
So cool seeing Dana out there too. Great episode.
XRF them sulphides platinum runs in cube form also,seen people say it's just pyrite when it was running raw platinum
That's a very interesting comment, thank you. I looked at images of native platinum. Gosh how upset would you be if you discarded platinum?
Would definitely love to see what Jason could do with five or ten bags of that stuff. If the free-mill is any indication then there's a lot in that pile, possibly enough to make it worth a small excavator and process rig.
I was thinking the same thing myself. Load up a couple hundred pounds, next time Dan goes south and leave it with Jason to process as he can
I love that Dan describes the geology of the situation as he is processing material.😊
“She’s my gold digger” that was genuinely funny. I hope I’m not the only one who understood the humor. Because as I have stated before, I am jealous that you have found an ideally suited partner.
Amen his family seem to be happy and that’s the important part of life
Be nice if they had attachments to have one of the spouts spray farther up the first pan.
Opal miner here down under ,on occasion I go specking on the old mine dumps its amazing what the old timers missed or just threw away back in the old days.
Great tuque Dayna! Always a pleasure to stop by, thanks for sharing!
He is a very very knowledgeable person that is one reason I like watching his program there's not too many people that actually explain everything to you as he goes I like that good man
Great video! So relaxing to watch (rather than go out in the cold and do!) Love the King George V dime.
I hope you get back to this mine now that spring is on the way. Maybe with a small backhoe and highbank this pile en masse.
Take Andy and Jason with you or something. That would be a blast to watch.
Gold job Dayna. Very nicely done.
I find it relaxing to watch you using the high bankers. It's also fun to see the joy when you find gold and seeing you work the tailings on this place just gets me excited that maybe there's a lot of gold to be found! ☀
Dan the man
Teaching us how to pan
With all that gold and mineral in his hand
Grinding the ore for gold is just grand
With all those speciments on rich soil land😊😊😊😊❤
Good to see you out Dan I'm going out exploring in a few months. Just coming off two strokes last Aug they were mild thank goodness I had a T-car put installed on my neck ,I can still drive and getting better thing are a little slower now but doing ok. I wish you the best.
Have you considered roasting the concentrate to burn off the sulfur then run it through your magnetic separator. That should help get more magnetic material out of the concentrate.
I love your great selection of music Dan heard
Cute video Dan that’s awesome to see you and your wife work together out on the claim
Gold Hog did verry well by letting you testrun the sluice! Loved the moment you turned around the raised hose ends part, for compact traveling. That is how neat adjustments are made 😃 Hope Gold Hog puts Dan's feature into the end design♥️
great boots Dana.
Great demo of Gold Hog’s latest innovation, Dayna and Dan. A worthwhile day out in the cold. Glad you got to prove there’s gold.
Rockn' Out Dan!
Only a whole mound to go Dan!
Thanks for video... Nice to meet you Dan and your dad at Port Alberni rock and gem show!... I was shocked of how tall you and your dada are!
Thank you always Dan!
I see a Lady bird. Dayyna. Nice to see the family. Thanks for another awesome video. Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
It was great to see this video of you and Lady Dayna working 🤣♥️♥️♥️♥️. Thanks for sharing and the smiles.
That looked like a fun day!
"She's my golddigger" 😂 made me chuckle. Always great these episodes with you and Dayna 🫶
Arizona doesn't do DST So I go here an hour late... Get Jason to demo one of his truck mounted systems at this site...
I think Jason sold that system and has not created another from the stockpiled parts to which he has access. Vague memory around three years ago?
Dan,
Your wife is NOT a GOLD DIGGER,
, She's digging gold:)
I dig both of you:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Very nice Dayna makes a good pack mule too. Then again Dayna Blue is the best. Nice video and test.
Hi Dan, hope the heart is strong, best wishes from Wales take it easy :)
Not ever panned, high banked or such, but this highbanker looks like a great idea!!!
Hey Dan you better hang on to that woman she's a good woman Dana she works her you know what off and she's got a beautiful smile and you can't ask for more than better than that her smile and how she is as a person is more worth golden gems in this world you have a beautiful wife and I know that you appreciate it you have two beautiful children what more can a man ask for absolutely nothing😂😂❤❤❤❤😅😅😅
Hello Dan from Michigan,
You guys are adorable couple:) quickly becoming my favorite channel:)
Beautiful find Danno
Thank you for a wonderful and enjoyable video six stars brother
Dan, change the water flow from bottom up to top down and get rid of the dam totally. It's a bad choke point.
would love for you to visit these tailings again
OH DARN IT...the frickin spring forward clock change got me, missed the premiere.....🤬🤬🤬
lol, Dayna, a literal "gold digger" 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
those pieces of gold are perfect for natural gold jewelry...
Is that an 8" wide setup? It honestly looks like a Piglet that's been modified. Not that that's a bad thing. ✌️😎
I am glad you did this review. That highbanker looks like one person could run a significant amount of material per run.
Heavy Pans Dan!!!
Good morning all wish you luck
Great video, Dan! You are a great teacher and an inspiration! I'll be starting my first panning soon in a small NC creek.
I find your ambition commendable.
To process that entire crush pile, especially if I were looking for specimens to sell, I would lay out some heavy vinyl tarp along the entire base of the pile [need not be a lot, just enough to catch what washes down] and focus all the material in with a pressure hose [kinda like hydraulic mining, only more of a controlled washing] so I could have a separator table to have somebody sorting the rough crush before it passed along to a better crusher.
But then I would not really bother much with too intensive of a gravity separation, and simply let it dewater in big fiber totes, load it onto a truck and run it to a better place to smelt.
Thanks for showing us all, the glamorous aspects to mining.
Dayna is a true gold digger! And she does an amazing job at it 🎉
"Unbelievable discovery! Gold Nuggets unearthed in the tailings of a Copper Mine. Witness the fascinating intersection of copper and gold in this unexpected treasure find. 🌟🪙
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Good luck!
03/10/24 ... at today's prices it wouldn't take much to make crushing that material and tableing the crush worthwhile.
Seems like a different spray nozzle might be beneficial to increase the velocity of the spray to better wash the dirt coming in. Seemed like it was backed up a bit.
Nice piece Dan
Another thing for Gold Hog to consider while designing, is material usage. Making parts 11.5", 15.5", 23.5", or 47.25" wide, works best for 48" wide sheets cut on a laser. 14.5", 19.5", 29.5", or 59.25" for 60" wide.
Looks like a great place to grab a sample to run through the mbmm hammer mill and shaker table to see how much you can liberate 😬
I always enjoy! Thank you Dan!
3", thank you for using freedom units instead of metric for your southern watchers! 😊 joking of course, thank you for the entertainment and information, as always Mr. Hurd. Thank you Mrs. Hurd for your hard work and sharing your husbands time with the rest of us!❤
I absolutely love how the 2 of you work together as a team it's very refreshing to see
Up in Michigans UP we sometimes come accross pieces of raw copper.
You two do some great teamwork! Thanks for the video!
I hope to try panning this year, hope you are out today Dan, Dayna
It would be interesting running a similar amount through a ball or chain mill and then a sluice but I'm sure you've thought that already. Perhaps it's in a future video. Nice find
Are you allowed to make a little temporary dam in the creek to give the pump a bit of depth?
If you're not sucking up all the water going by in the creek with your pump, then why not dig a little area where the pump inlet is placed for the water to pool up? You could always fill the hole back up with the rocks and dirt you initially removed after you're done pumping!
Good afternoon from Copperhill Tn. Home of the Fairy Cross,staruilite
Nice crystaline gold
SCTV BC style possibilities galore here! “Dan” Caballero and “Dayna” Prickley buy a silver mine but find nothing but gold and copper!!! They need to hire “Paulie” LaRue to do all of the future work!
Nice pieces of gold
Hi Dan, I think it's great that you and Dayna share the same passion for prospecting. It's always nicer to be two people, and being with your partner is probably even nicer. Do you also need a licence to pan for gold as you do in this video, outside a mine (free) or can anyone do it without a licence? Last question: do you refill the holes you make when prospecting, I'm thinking especially of wild animals that can get trapped or even injured by falling into these holes?
QUESTION ❤ So would you have found more possibly if you would have smelted? How does someone know if they have gold in sulfied material? Great video thanks
Thank you from Berlin New hampshire. I'm really learning about gold mining and whatnot
Thanks for another interesting video Dan and Dayna. Cool to see so many different minerals all together.
Suggestion, If the water flowing in had adjustable nozzles, it could be run at a lower pressure and wash the entire hopper.
I'm sure Dayna in live time feels as better about you as we do out by yourself
If the plate with hose nozels were on lift bars like the bars that hold the skuices apart it seems you could direct the water higher up in the distruction chamber
dig a bigger sump for the pump . Utmost makes a better product
might be a pain to setup but that would be a nice spot to setup a crusher with a shaker table. you allready got a crushed pile so i feel the hard work is done.It could be profitable with a fine crusher and shaker table i would think .
It's hard work being a trophy husband.
Your (Canada, Mexico, USA) west part very rich in gold... East in black gold...
very best video❤❤❤❤❤
The hopper box should have fingers going full length of the box or almost full length then a feed tray underneath the fingers that catches what falls through and drops onto the miners moss. Would allow better placement of the water for washing the input material for heavy feeding and the aggressive angle you had and not lose water/material out the back of the feed hopper as easily. Should be a fairly simple modification as well.
Beautiful hard rock gold Dan. It is very angular and rough, and hasn't travelled far, if at all. Good stuff!
That looks very much like the cons from one of the claims I work. I tend to save all the cons and then inspect them all under a 400x binocular microscope and pull out all the gold specimens I can find. I am currently working on crushing and smelting the several hundred pounds of cons I've collected over the years.
Very interesting
great way to wash rocks to find malachite azurite pieces and find some gold as a side note
I noticed you also moved the water jets up to the bottom holes. Fixed your 2 inch rock problem.
I'd like to see a video if you go back to that same hole and crush your tailings pile and run it... that would be interesting....
Good morning Dan, Jason from Flour Gold Wizards had several layers of mesh pans from 30 to 100 mesh looks like a tower, could help separate all the way down to fly poop Pauly gold
The multi-mesh pans are a sampling system, a tool rather than a consumable due to the expensive certifications and cleanliness required for proper usage. Of course if you find them cheap at an antique shop use them as is they are consumable.
Did a little bit of this at Brenda about 18 months after closure
Amazing very good, good luck
Suggestion for low water situations. Maybe consider adding a reducer to push the water higher into sluice? GH could include two fittings that could be added or removed as needed. (Plumbing friends, help out this 'sparky' with the right terminology).
Need a video with Jeff Williams
They did
@@dredaboss505 well they should do it again
@@ETAisNOW yes the last one they did jeff kinda went on his on way it was more of a appearance then anything
