Hypnotized by the Spiral Gold Wheel. *Best Gold Grades Yet*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- After a very short week of running almost 1/2 the material from last week, we discover some of our best gold grades of the pit. The lower slope where we had done most of our testing produced some of the best gold. Is it enough?
In this week's clean up I use the spiral wheel to get the gold ot of the concentrates. This weeks gold show some of the chunkiest course gold yet.

I so enjoy your picture and comments. I am an old lady 78 and have always loved rocks. My pockets were always filled with rocks. I have ordered your picture stone. Thank you for what you do.
Honestly kind of surprised Discovery channel hasn't contacted you about making a show, so many different claims you own as well as knowledge!
Dan doesn't need the headache of trying to produce "drama" for Discovery Channel. I stopped watching Gold Rush because it was too much like a soap opera.
@@xtctrader1467 hahaha I agree..
They already did gold rush, no need to do it again
Dan, your videos are way better than any kind of gold mining shows you can find on TV. Love them!!
One pointer from an old equipment operator regarding getting a full bucket on the old bob cat. Pull up onto the pile of spoils up to the top, drop the bucket onto the pile then back drag it down until the bucket is flat onto the ground, then cat forward with the bucket flat. The idea is not to push into a stacked pile to reduce stress on the machine and get a much more full load in your bucket. Love your channel, keep up the good content.
Again..... Ouch!! No way Trout creek is paying for itself. We love watching you Dan and were really rooting for better cleanups. Much love from Northern California 😁🍻🍻⛏⛏⛏
Testing a claim almost never makes money. But testing is how you determine if you put a large scale mine on a spot or not.
@@Danhurd We really hope it works out! We hope the testing does get better. Thanks so much for replying!!
Those who dont test and take chances never get anywhere. Life is short. Live it
As a U.S. citizen if I wanted to go into Canada to prospect , what are the complications it getting the gold back to the States, legally?
Thinking he is making more from utube than the pit....
Andy is the hero is this series!! Thank you bud.....appreciate the hard work!! Great video!!
Really enjoy following along with the permitted section of the Trout Creek Mine, thanx again Dan.
The energy you have is what makes your videos.. you sir DID earn my subscription and I’m having a hell of a time binging all your videos!!! Pls never stop
This has been incredibly fun to watch, thanks for taking us through everything, and great job to Andy on all his hard work!
Our pleasure!
Andy is a real grafter. He’s enthusiastic & so committed.
I ran a spiral wheel for years, and switched to the Gold Cube invented by Mike Pung...... IMO, I'll take the cube every time for fine to coarse gold recovery.......
I’m really enjoying this cluster of videos on the trout claim. I find the different equipment really fascinating. It’s a pretty expensive hobby though! I can’t wait for next weeks video to see how much gold you have altogether. Thanks for sharing.
Before I even watch… Woo Hoo! A New Dan Hurd video! Keep on keepin on Dan and thanks for the videos! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
I know that feeling!
Really impressive series Dan! For anyone who doubted or wondered about the amount work required to go from panning maybe one or two cubic yards to processing 100 cubic yards this videos series really spell it out! Hope your staying safe in that extreme heat!
Hi Dan! Just subscribed. I'm a Geologist and have mined placer in Central Africa (diamonds and gold), Ecuador (gold and platinum) as well as a short run in the Yukon at Clear Creek. One trick that I found to put a smile on your face is, once you have the terrace limits defined, look for the biggest tree. The biggest trees have the deepest roots which indicates the lowest points in the bedrock. Knock it down and mine below it. We'd keep pits like that for when we were a bit slim towards the end of the month. Grab 40 or more yards out of there and whappo, right on monthly target! It's also cheaper than drilling for grade. LOL.
Love your content. Thank you so much for doing this.
16:46 Regarding gold, magnetite sand, and magnets: Huh, I wouldn't have expected that! I had been meaning to ask you, "Why _don't_ you use a magnet?", rather than telling you that you _should_ use a magnet -- and now I know. ❤
You should make a second tailings pond next to the 1st one. If you connect them correctly you can have the silt settle in the 1st pond and the water to flow into the 2nd. It should help with the clogging problem on your jets
Thank you for sharing another great adventure with us. I hope what is left makes up for the previous weeks. May God continue to bless you and your's Amen
Happy to see you mining and healthy, still enjoying my ocean picture stone purchased last year I gotta get a nugget one day, savin my pennies :) thanks for channel Dan.
Hey dan im glad youre enjoying best of luck
Digging Andy's shirtless vest... I rock the same setup during summer
Very well done 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
yes.master.i.sent.you.all.my.gold-my.eyes.is.now.spinning.in.a.swirl.pattern. great video (always is), cheers from sweden
The heat was insanity out there! I probably drank 5 litres of water every day just to stay hydrated!
Nothing compared to being down in the coast in all this humidity
@@lonestarfishing2649 always has to be that one guy trying to "one up" every body.
@@Kickstandsup83 Thats nothing compared to me one upping everyone
according to my day job, they want us to drink 1 quart per hour while in the field. And for reference a quart is 1 l give or take. (if memory serves right that is litre or liter - the french version is larger than the SI kms, but feel free to correct me if this is incorrect.)
@@1noryb according to google, one imperial (uk) quart is 1136.5ml and one us quart is 946ml. So yes, under a liter for US quarts and over one for imperial!
Not gonna lie, thats a good recommandation for heat wave and work.
I learn something every time I watch your videos Dan! Welcome to my world - Phoenix in the summer! I hope the trees survive it ok. They aren't used to it! Thank you for the learning and the entertainment!
Whenever I would watch the Spiral Wheel during a commercial operation, I felt like I was being hypnotized 😵😁
I personally use the Blue Bowl - I enjoy watching it, because it's sooo soothing and feels like meditation 😊
So you use the toilet bowl ?
Great video, it has been a real treat to watch this whole process pan out! Have a great Sunday everyone!
Thanks, you too!
Thats a nice little clean up thank you for sharing five stars my friend
Dan, Great series. Always interested to see the clean ups. Do you ever think you would do a video on the business side of gold mining that you are doing at trout creek. Breaking down costs and expenses visa via how much gold was produced?
maybe
@@Danhurd I would be highly interested in this as well
@@jbtenseventeen same
break down of everything will equal not worth the effort, quite obvious
Although an interesting subject,I think I would disagree because it’s invasive and encroaching upon his personal side of life which depending on the youtuber,may be too personal information sharing and I’d agree and support that . It’s youtube where hundreds of millions of people are on,and certainly several hundred thousand on this channel here .with that being said , I’d guess most of us are armchair enthusiasts and just love to learn and watch- and dream ☺️
The serious and also active prospectors definitely would love to know the financials of it and I understand completely. As they are probably interested in pursuing it further. I don’t know what to suggest here I’m merely an armchair enthusiast and adore the actual video footage of the outdoors with Dan,but I hope there would be a way of learning this somewhere
I've used the Spiral Gold Wheel before and yes it work really well. the shaker table does a good job too. Your equipment is just smaller, our dredge did 60 tons an hour and our the Spiral Gold Wheel was about twice as big.
Hopefully you will start to get some massive clean ups👍🏻 The gold you are finding is still amazing Dan⛏🏴
Yes Dan I love how you covered how you're supposed to go to the blacks and with the magnet several times that's one of my biggest things when I'm doing a clean up if I go to the black fan with the pinpointer blackfan magnet and I just really make sure I don't lose anything
I had a problem with dirty water before as well here is how i fixed it , i took a 45 gallon drum , with a torch i made some slits into it , then i covred the outside with a thik felt material . i then put the water pump inside the 45 gallon drum and :VOILA : IT WORKED PERFECTLY . whoohooo . the felt does need a clean up one in a while depending on the dirt you are using , grest video . peace profound .
Hey Dan! The GOLD looked amazing...there were some really nice sized pieces in this run. Y'all keep up the great work...stay safe!! ((Hugs)) from Texas!! xx : )
Thanks! Will do!
Should I set reminder that would make it 130am here in NZ hmmm.
Waking up to Dan Hurd. Life is good.
Damn ill be asleep by then .
Have to watch it for breakfest tomorrow
Cheers from Aus Dan ❤
Awesome video Dan really nice clean up
Hi Dan, Some nice gold in the clean up waiting with interest for the reclamation and overall evaluation.
Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
Lol after watching a lot of people like let’s dig 18 , Andrew camarata , and other channels with huge heavy equipment. Looking at that mini I’m thinking man that’s going to take forever! Then I remember that if I had to do it it would be with a shovel lol
😂 yeah you cant underestimate all the tools that are really needed for a big plot
Andrew Camarata is awesome!
Beautiful gold this week! Great video! The spiral wheel is very cool.
Great video, as always! Hope you are safe from all the smoke and fires, on top of the intense heat.
My prospecting area, and friends/family, were endangered by the River Fire here in California. Luckily the fire moved away from densely populated areas and was contained quickly!
Please stay safe out there and hydrate!
Always smile
Thank u
One of my new favorite shows ! Thanks for sharing.
well at least i know i have something to look forward to in the morning!
Awesome, thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🥰🥰👏👏👍👍
Dan has a beard growing abilities like no other
I think Dan is part Fozzy Bear from the Muppets😀
He'd make a really good Santa, if he does dress up he should give out gold chocolates :D
You should check out monster Michael todd he's got crazy beard
Epic beard..
Thats a fact!!
Beards looking good. Hope your heart is well. The sun here in southern Oregon is brutal.
Playin in the mud! I dibs the 1st mud pie! An ounce is mighty cute.
Hi Dan, I might be crazy but in the railroad in europe we use to "wash" the ballast from smaller sand and breakdust, its because the ballasts property's gets better when clean...
Its like a big vacuum cleaner that sucks up all gravel and spit out the small things like a big classifyer....
instead of a escavator a big vacuum cleaner... that wouldn't leave gold behind :o)
ill never seen it to be used at gold mining. But it'll would work like a big dredge but dry...
That spiral is an incredible invention.
Great job to everyone.😊❤🙏
I always love watching and learning new things very educational and very fun😃
This has been a great video series. Thanks for concentrating on some different clean up processes.
Glad you enjoyed it!
great video dan thanks again. looking forward to the nxt 1
awsome cant wait wish i could be there to watch
Great hobby, exercise and fun.
It sure is
I Love seeing the spiral wheel separate the gold.
Missed you this morning!
Great video Dan it's been fun to watch. As for the heat I know how you feel because here in Nevada it's been triple digits for a couple of months.
Are this is why I I missed the live didn't have the all notifications on.nice one Dan 😁
Thanks
Thank you so much for your support, this is awesome!
Wow you did a great job getting that gold
Love all your videos so informative. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.
That is some extreme weather change from snow to the 40ies in such a short period of time.
Hey Dan great video! I heard your planning on doing a review video of minning magnets dry seperator, hope you do that would be awesome! Also I've been using the spiral to just get black sands separated from the blondes and then using the magnet seperator then to the blue bowl seems to working really well for me happy trails.
Sweet Time
Fun series! If the values don't add up that would be a great spot to scrape the overburden and do a "pay to play" spot........🤔
Well, that sucks, and somehow I don't imagine next week is going to make up for the shortfall, either. At least you're all having fun, and I hope that between your various income streams, this adventure isn't going to leave too big a dent in the pocket book! ❤
Bin watching for awhile. From pan to bunch of apperatuse way to go
I was working on my gold claim south of you in Montana in June and July. In other words right in the middle of the worst heat wave in the Pacific Northwest history! We had 1 day below 100 F and it was a frigid 92! It was absolute misery.
I mean, why bother complaining? It's our fault the planet is heating up like this.
@@Cthulhu013 Well maybe 0.1% of it at least.
@@ClintJohnsonWriter Probably a bit more.
Oh wow!
@@Cthulhu013 No, it's not OUR fault, it's the US military and other bad actors that are engineering this crisis. They have long had the knowledge, and have the technology in place.
Awesome video again! It’s been really fun watching a larger operation but while you were talking about lead it got me wondering what you do with some of those other things you find while mining?
Good wuestion!
Had to watch the video three times. For some reason I kept falling asleep!!!!
Dan!!! hello there great to see another video up, always have such a fun time watching you.
just amazes me how much dirt you need to move to get that gold.
D is it possible that glod might be sticking to the large gravels in your course tailings pile?
Was hoping for more.
Great video, Dan!
Very Very nice clean up Dan you know your stuff friend 😀please keep the great videos coming and please stay safe friend from Scotland
Interesting series Dan, neat to see the different clean up devices. Fingers crossed for your next cut!
Next cut should be better, the problem is it is at the edge of the old time miners main pit. We think we know where the edge is but won't be able to tell for sure till we start digging.
Crazy videos and nice positivity keep living your cool life Dan
Thanks! Will do!
Best way to start the day !!!
thanks for the video.
Hi youare great Dan I love your chanel Dan it's one of my favourite things
Hey, thanks!
I'm loving this series dan but 1500 bucks in 3 weeks. I hope next week is a giant pay day for you!!!!
Great work guy's. Load's of fun fam. Keep getting that au. Gold squad out!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Hey Dan. I can't help but notice the big boulders coming off the grizzly are still covered in sand and dirt. I wonder how much is lost by not washing them? I only ask because of how small the gold is in that area.
Well done Dan..
Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
Great series. Always learn something new.
Glad to hear it!
Very interesting, fun and informative operation! As far as profitability, seems the amount of gold recovered doesn't even cover the cost of diesel. Maybe the Patreon subscribers will at least break even with the overhead costs of the operation.
Have you consiered bagging your black sands for sell to gardeners? At one time I supplied rose and orchid growers with black sands.
You had me at trout creek 😁🍻
OMG the spinning wheel. I'm just waking up.. It's been hours lol. I was out a long time.
So you showed the Spiral wheel and I fell asleep, lol. Had to rewarch the video 🤣.
Enjoyed watching your video nice gold keep digging!🙂
Flown lol 😆 wow that's good gold dan
hi dan, i really like your channel, keep doing what you do i enjoy following your adventures
New subscriber to the channel, Love watching the process of cleaning up, not so much the digging with machines, that reminds me too much of my work. The spiral wheel would be my go too for getting the gold out. Good luck at the claim, and God bless.
Welcome!
Hoping you get some of the cool down we are getting in the Seattle area. Wish you could hit that big pocket, or run.
love your vids, thanks!!!
Awesome job guys I enjoyed watching very much keep up the good work. Prayers for you all 🙏🙏🙏 God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Send some of that sun back to Australia, it's only 12°c this morning!! 🥶
