I wish I could pan with Dan that would be so humbling and such an AMAZING experience cause his whole persona and attitude is such a relief from today’s “Norm”!! Thanks for being such a EPIC person 🤙🏼
A good way to check for platinum in the field with either rocks or specks is with hydrogen peroxide. Put the rocks or pieces in peroxide and see if it bubbles. You can also prospect for platinum with a neodymium magnet, since platinum often alloys with iron. Platinum that does not alloy with iron will not stick. I subscribed. Thanks again.
I love your positivity, my uncle was an archaeologist and Geography teacher. He taught me so much and was so enthusiastic. You remind me of him. Love your videos 👍🏼😀🇬🇧
@@woofielove1970 Haha "natural undisturbed" what do you think that means? That is not a naturally occurring culvert in the video! By the way that "muck" you refer to is the same dirt and rock that naturally run into that creek every time it rains!
@@woofielove1970 do you not realize that all settles once again? What do you think happens when a rock falls from a cliff? It muddy up the water. I swear some of you people always find an issue for no reason at all..
@@woofielove1970 no, it’s not different one bit. So many natural occurring things can cause the water to get muddy. Rockslides, mudslides, rainstorms, floods, deer walking in the water, just to name a few. Mud, dirt, rocks, sand, silt, that all settles back to the river floor, how do you think it got there? The water may look “pristine” but if you went under with goggles you’d see how much free floating silt there really is. What he’s doing is completely legal, in non protected areas on his claim. Take your toxicity elsewhere, he’s enjoying his life a lot more than you bum.
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience. It was my dream to come up North to prospect. I cannot walk anymore, so living vicariously through your videos now. Keep up the good work!
I love your attitude! So positive and fun to watch... Enjoying nature and not destroying everything just to get what you want... Thank you for the video!
I loved everything about this video. You have so much personality and a true love and respect for every aspect of the life you are surrounded by. I subscribed. Thank you so much! Looking forward to following your adventures 👍
Interesting new claim! Really hope you'll find the platinum soon. I'm curious how your test samples turned out. The nature is gorgeous there! Love the wild flowers and the little waterfall. Thank you for taking us on a new adventure.
I like watching you pan for precious metals. But those wild flowers are so beautiful. You could make a living just filming flowers. Thanks for showing them off.
Great video, Dan! I like that it shows the beginning of the prospecting process (well, after the research part), where you are trying to find the "good spot". It shows that not every trip yields something tangible. But, WOW, what beautiful scenery, wildflowers, pretty sparkly rocks, and amazing little creek!!
This weekend im headed "hiking"(panning too) in a spot that has chalcopyrite it the ore thats every where and took a few pieces and smashed them and had some traces of gold. So im headed back. Thanks Dan for teaching things that i can retain and use in the field.
Hey Dan, I found a 1/4 oz. platinum nugget with my metal detector up Canyon Creek above Canyon City, oregon.I also checked out some of the mines around Coalmont in 1973, kool area. There is platinum flakes in the Sultan river out of Sultan, Washington.
Once again Dan, you've totally managed to capture the extremely beautiful surrounds you're prospecting in. Canada is just so damned beautiful! Platinum, something I've never really thought about and thanks to you I now have a little more research to do. Need to find out where it occurs and how hard it is to detect. I cannot wait to see what you do with this new claim, it'll definitely help me with my research as it'll all be hands on with you. Cheers mate from the land of Aus :)
beautiful scenery all around...flowers, waterfall....gorgeous! Hope your claim turns out very well for you. Love learning new things and platinum is now the latest..thank you! If you do ever find poison ivy or oak...apple cider vinegar right away is really supposed to help....stinging nettle I am not sure about...we always just put up with it or jumped in the lake and rubbed downwards and sometimes with a handful of sand ..it seemed to cool it down
That was a nice outing afield Dan...ooh that area does look to have potential for soo much goodies...Congrads on new claims as well...those are aways exciting to explore and see...Nice wild flowers...Thanks for taking us along on the prospect.
Loved the video. My hobby is fishing (in England) so I know all too well about putting in an entire day's worth of effort and coming home empty handed! Keep it up though, Dan!
I love leaving the city and going out into the wilderness. Places like that little garden of flowers by the creek are things you miss if you only spend your time in the city.
I'm guessing it's actually more Pacific Poison _Oak_ in those parts -- exactly the same toxic substance, though. Western Poison Ivy is generally shrubby, as is Pacific Poison Oak -- although there's a sort of sub-variety of Pacific Poison Oak that vines up trees, which the Western Poison Ivy doesn't do. :-) Western Poison Ivy has pointy tips on the leaves, and Pacific Poison Oak has lobed leaves which can turn quite red and shiny in late summer. For people not used to dealing with those plants, some advice: Be careful taking a leak in woods where that stuff grows -- do it, uh, _hands-free._ You do not want that stuff below the belt, trust me. It _can_ spread there _without_ direct oil contact, but it definitely will with it.
Poison oak can also grow into a tree, in and of itself! I learned this through a very, very painful backyard experience. The wood (of what I thought was a dead tree) turns a blackish color when cut. Fortunately, I knew there was Poison oak where I was, so I scrubbed well afterwards. Unfortunately, it was a very hot day and I had been sweating quite a bit. The next day, I could hardly see. Our backyard also has the vine type covering many of our oak trees. A stinging nettle poultice (applied through a heavy linen bag does help!
Do you ever watch Jeff Williams RUclips channel? He’s a geologist explained in great detail on what to look for when searching for gold platinum or silver or other precious metals. That rock that you found great interest in when you were leaving the creek, look like what he was talking to be whatever the chemistry was to have lots of gold. Now I don’t know for sure all the chemistry that goes on to the final results, but I try very hard to understand though all people in surcharging of there findings.
Hi Dan!! I"ve been watching you for a few days.... and I subbed. I'm not gold/mineral crazy. I live in CA. I used to care for an older gentleman who had a bigger than fist size white rock with gold running through it. He had to go stay at the hospital and took his rock with for his bedside table. I asked a senior nurse if there was any risk of it getting stolen. The nurse laughed and said no risk. She had lived in CA for many years. She said the effort of getting that gold out of that rock was so difficult that it's only value was as a rock. And apparently, many people around there had a lot of those kinds of rocks with gold everywhere. I enjoy your vids for the scenary, and the science. I never knew crystals came out of red clay in Arkansas. You really get around. Thanks and see you in the next vid. HUGS
Just got around to watching this one. Not disappointing at all. Still looks like you had fun hiking checking out all the wild flowers. Oh, Dan! About your poison oak/ivy situation, there is this stuff called Zanfel. It's a bit on the pricey side but it works incredible! Trust me I know. We have lots of poison oak here and I get it bad if I rub against it. I would not recommend anything else after finding this product. I keep a tube at home and one in my bag when I'm out hiking, just in case. Anyway, thanks for the video Dan. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks for your content Dan, I’m an absolute newbie to prospecting and have been eager and trying to learn as much as I can about geology and prospecting... fascinating and fun stuff anyways your a huge source of valuable information! Really appreciate you sharing your explorations and finds.
I think the "shiny rock" is a type of iron ore.. all I know for sure is if you cut and polish it it looks AMAZING! I'd take a gallon bucket of that black mica.. stuff would make some insane black metallic paint when finely ground. Poison oak has nice dark green shiny leaves with a dark red in them.. I should know, I was shoved into a big patch of it in 6th grade while taking a leak when we went on a nature weak thing.. Fun fact, at the time at least, I wasn't allergic to it.. bad part for them, they were.. and I happened to grab some when I saw it the next day.. I wonder how it ended up in their bunks... hmm..
I played in poison oak once when I was a kid with my brother and my grandma put some ointment on us but it turned out neither of us were allergic but she was and her hand was red for a while
This is my backyard, the land gives much. A lake a day as long as you stay so lots of fish, lots of berries, lots of fungus, Deer Moose Elk. BC is awesome. Oh yeah and lots of good stuff in the dirt.
Interesting! I a out on the middle of the Great Plains of ND in the terminal moraine region of f the Laurentide Ice sheet. The topsoil is thick and black and heavily seeded with HUGE Erratics that rode the aforementioned icesheet from your beautiful country north of the 49th parallel. There is color everywhere we pan down here but you'd have to pan tons and tons everyday for decades to make enough money to buy a Happy meal.
so jealous of the places you get to explore. I do hope Froggy remains happy and producing offspring. Frogs the world over are vanishing and that's just sad and it was awesome to see yours there. good luck with the prospecting!
We used to have our whole lawn full of tiny, tiny frogs every spring when I was a kid. We couldn't mow the lawn because it was full of migrating frogs. I haven't seen one in years... No toads either. I really miss them.
That was a good demo running your highbanker to measure the gold recovery. I liked the gold owl the best. You have a great channel, keep up all the great work.
Really enjoy your videos Dan! I've been looking at getting a claim on the tulameen river and starting to do a little metal detecting in the gravel beds. Hope we cross paths on the trail some day!
Well I guess poison ivy is mortal to me cause it takes 30 seconds for me to be in agonizing pain and it worse and worse by the second and I get huge water blisters men and the way to get rid of it you put an entire bottle of dish soap into the tub and you submerge the affected areas and it works well take 5 minutes or so but you feel the pain going away but you are left with water blisters
It may be different for everyone as I see a blistery rash forming within about ten minutes of exposure. If I notice that I touched it and immediately wash up I usually get lucky, but if I don't I'll have a rash for a month or more covering most of my body.
Similar leaf structure, they're just finger leaves instead of fan leaves. No clue what it is but it's probably not cannabis, unless the ABC mutation has made it up into the wilds of Canada.
You know Dan I love watching your panning videos but I love more is the videos you show of nature while making your panning video's. Absolutely beautiful lol waterfall and country, just beautiful. Oh yea good luck funding the platinum, hope you find a ton
You got me into gem world.Until 3 days ago I had no idea about what the gem is.But now I am really searching every kind of gem and how to find them and where to find them and how much money a particular gem stone per carat etc..Appreciate it!!!
Oh no kidding! I lived in Princeton for quite a bit, did a little bit of gold panning in the Similkameen river. Visited Coalmont fairly regularly. Real cool bud!
I found a 1893 worlds fair Chicago Christopher Columbus 1/2 American dollar 50 cent coin metal detecting using the methods Dan has shown us all ! I found this coin in the ground near a field where a house once was. And boy oh boy is it a great silver coin ! Thanks for teaching my son and me the way. Something we do quite often since we found this gem of a half dollar ! It’s true tho , DANS A SMART AND BRILLIANT MAN.
This guy always puts me in a good mood. His demeanor is refreshing in today's norm
Frosty Herbs and Gemstones for days! 😜

That was a beautiful little creek! I love how many different wild flowers were all in the same place. Glad you didn’t get hurt when you fell.
A good way to check for platinum in the field with either rocks or specks is with hydrogen peroxide. Put the rocks or pieces in peroxide and see if it bubbles.

Utter nonsense.
Iron oxide will also catalyze hydrogen peroxide reduction.
Also works with peanut butter

Hi Dan: It takes about two days for the Poison Ivy to take effect. Good luck with it.

You got me into gem world.Until 3 days ago I had no idea about what the gem is.But now I am really searching every kind of gem and how to find them and where to find them and how much money a particular gem stone per carat etc..Appreciate it!!!
Love love the sound in this video. Thanks for sharing.
Oh no kidding! I lived in Princeton for quite a bit, did a little bit of gold panning in the Similkameen river. Visited Coalmont fairly regularly. Real cool bud!
I found a 1893 worlds fair Chicago Christopher Columbus 1/2 American dollar 50 cent coin metal detecting using the methods Dan has shown us all ! I found this coin in the ground near a field where a house once was. And boy oh boy is it a great silver coin ! Thanks for teaching my son and me the way. Something we do quite often since we found this gem of a half dollar ! It’s true tho , DANS A SMART AND BRILLIANT MAN.
Dan is so powerful that he can break bedrock! Respect to this man😁
Dan is a gentleman and a scholar, I have learned so much from his videos…fun stuff!✨
True. Apparently he was shop class/industrial arts (maybe) teacher. A lot of his former students comment on videos.
Very interesting prospecting video Dan. Thank you for sharing your adventures
