  • Hard rock gold is so beautiful in its natural crystal form. It creates some of the most spectacular formations. And we found amazing amounts of this hard rock gold while high banking and gold panning a 100 year old mine dump at the Blue Chip Mine.

    Thanks Dan for another entertaining couple of videos up in the hills. My wife and I just returned from the Owens River in Bright Victoria Australia. Self isolating. A walk along the river reveling dozens of old tailings and trenches for water that the Chinese miners had dug out during the gold rush days . Could have spent some time there but had to get back home as my wife is a nurse and she is needed as the virus spreads rapidly throughout our city of Geelong. Sad times my friend, stay safe, and keep us all smiling/laughing as you have done so well in the past! 🍺

    Around historic (49-er) placer mines in California, you often see buckets with pierced bottoms, cans with small nail holes punched in the bottom using small cut nails. These are often lying beside sluice lines, where cloth "miners moss" was washed down. They used the various buckets and cans as dippers to pour water over the mats and wash gold out of them.

    Helloo! Dan. You have earned my subscription. I found you a week or two ago and I seem to be hooked. I know nothing of the gold business but when I watch you running the high banker it seems to me that the water running down the troughs is fairly hurtling along at what looks to me a terrific speed. Every time a shovel full of material is dropped in, the water turns dirty instantly. A moment later it runs clear again. Do you think adding a hopper at the top with a steady speed conveyor to make the feed of material more constant would allow a slower water feed and less loss of gold. A small motor drive would not be too hard to fabricate. If you had less water flow down the trough you would have an excess to power the conveyor motor. Hydraulic motors can run on water. Mayhap one of your fans could make one for you. Two rollers. A rubber belt made of pond liner. A squashed bucket with the bottom knocked out. Driven by a little hydraulic motor. Hang it up at the top. I can feel a video coming along.

    Nice gold Dan! Have you ever thought of getting some graphite coin molds to melt down some of the powder and other tiny pieces? Make yourself some Dan Hurd Prospecting custom coins.
