Dan, I know what a bad back is to live with. I have had 33 operations on my spine and am confined to a bed 95% of the time. Your videos help to get me out in your Canadian wilderness, which is better than the mostly miserable summer we are having here in the UK.
My two kids and I watched this while eating breakfast. 3 yr old boy and 5 yr old girl. They get a kick out of the gold shots and the music. Some dancing happened while the cereal was being eaten. It was a bit messy. Thanks for the content.
Dan: No recommendations or criticisms here; nope, I just want to say that your videos always get me out of a funk when I'm in one and make my happiest days that much happier when I see a new one pop up. It pains me that there are a number of not-so-nice folks out there who've chosen to attack you, but I guess that's just life. I love your work, as do 1.32 million other people, so hang tough, my friend!
@@George-tz1cv I just love the scenery, the trains going past the sheer danger of being so close to rapids. Meanwhile Dan sits on a rock panning in a paradise
Ive just found your channel and i love it. I do feel a little worry when your working so close to that river whipping so fast. Life's currently difficult so when i find a channel that can get my mind off the stresses for a bit, im truly grateful. If your a believe in prayer, please add my father to your prayers. Todays day 42 on hospice snd it's been a very rough couple of days. Thanks again
Dan, the secret to moving heavy objects as you get older is to find and harness some 20 year old body builders. Convince them that moving rocks for you is a better work out than the gym and they will PAY you to come do it for you. That way you get the gold and the "gym membership fees" added on top!!! It is called working smarter not harder!
I got the joke. I would like to pass along that moving big rocks can present issues and dangers. You dont have to spend a ton of money for it, but a better choice of gear is what the 4x4 guys used. Factor 55 makes the best off road recovery gear, but if you are just using it for moving a few boulders, that are plenty of brands that will get the job done. Soft Shackles were invented to eliminate metal parts hitting you in the head. Their are a variety of straps designed to go around boulders and trees which are the ANCHORS to pull a 4x4 out of the mud/ ditch / etc. There is a blanket style anchor that is used for the same application as well as digging a hole, laying the blanket in the hole and filling it with sand. In every situation, the pulley that is attached using a soft shackle, will cut the force required to move a 4x4 or a Boulder BY HALF. You could be next to the boulder you move while pulling the boulder towards the Shackle and pulley. One hack you may need, is using a mountain climbing rope because you can buy those small enough to fit on a come a-long. Everything I mentioned is fairly inexpensive and light to carry. The off road trade shows sell all kinds of this gear.
He could market them as "manliness alpha male courses" or something to white collar nerds. Have them lifting/moving all those rocks then when its over go scavenging.
Still in my 20s and would jump at the prospect of helping Dan, Canada looks gorgeous and is only a skip away from where I am! No matter how strong you are, equipment & know-how will always beat out raw muscle, though.
Whenever I am feeling down or depressed I come see Dan. He is the brightest soul I've ever seen. Mr. Hurd you make me smile. Thank you and good luck panning your heart out
Nothing would please me more than being there to help and find gold with you Dan! Your videos are inspiring and keep me fired up on finding good gold one of these days!
I'm honestly smiling the moment Dan starts talking. "I hope to earn your subscription today" Quite possibly the nicest youtuber on youtube. I'm sitting here writing code... whilst dans doing the virtual stuff i simply can't due to location. Thanks dan for keeping the world entertained old bean.
Dan, I've been guilty of leaving my sniffer, classifier, or even waders, but not any more. Lost a foot due to a fishing accident in my back yard, so now I do all my prospecting, climbing, forgetting vicariously through you and your videos. I recently received my first order of rocks from you, picture stones. Thank you for a little geode that was included in the order and some additional specimens that I haven't been able to identify yet. Thanks so much for the fun times I spend with you from Texas.
Tim's hasn't been canadian for decades. American owned, terrible coffee, factory made donuts. I hate that canada is associated with Tim's. It's just another American poison dealer.
Hello Dan, I enjoy all of your videos. You are so real. I've just had my 5th stint surgery. Similar to you. I learned how to gold pan from your videos. When we visited alaska during covid. I was able to gold pan with what you showed me. It works 😊. I also enjoy you because it's PG(clean). Thank you for all you do. Blessings
Mr. Hurd, please do not go remote alone. Your heart gave you a warning already and neither of us is getting younger. Does Pauly get too dive in that river? Miss seeing you with him and crew. Much brotherly love and may GOD continue to bless your endeavor s.
With 1.3 millions subs and about 100+k views per episode, the channel is the real goldmine here and we viewers are the nuggets. RUclips “unsubscribing” folks? They are present-day claim-jumpers!
Hi Dan, love your videos. Friendly advice. Before you utilize your vacuum go over the area you want to vacuum with something like a Bannister brush. You will save time and most importantly battery life.
With the introduction music I half expected Dan to jump on stage and start screaming into the microphone then tell us he joined a heavy metal band. Keep up the good work Dan you always have amazing videos even if you decide to join a heavy metal band.
One of the reasons I first subscribed to you Dan is that you dont ask or bug anyone into subscribing, one of the first things you say is that you "hope to earn" a subscription. It has to the first time I have heard a youtuber say that they hope to earn a subscription, there are so many out there that seem to think or believe that someones subscription is a given and I appreciated you actually saying that from the get go. As well as be being great to watch and very knowledgeable plus you make me laugh so much, the fact you enjoy what you are doing and are entertaining. Thankyou for being a stand up guy.
When I used to go gold panning in Oregon in the 1980's, we always were able to find enough gold to pay for our trip but not much else. It was a lot of fun!
Long time watcher from the UK, your videos are fascinating and mesmerising, I could simply watch them all day long... and I do. Keep up the good work. I will always be here watching.
You're a great teacher and amazing at getting some really good shots. I'm glad that you keep yourself in check and try to take care, when care is needed! With yourself and how you prospect.
Thank You Dan, Love the Adventure! Reminds me of the days I lived in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Did a lot of gold panning, mineral hunting etc... Love your show and your enthusiasm! Look forward to your next adventure!
I run 15 Milwaukee batteries all day every day on the job site. You would think that with that many batteries available you would never have a dead one but guess what? Lol great tools and better batteries than the past but still batteries all the same
Dang man just buy a corded tool and cord. For a fraction of the price. Unless there's 0 power available. 1 good cord is less than half 1 nice battery. Corded tools are cheaper and more powerful. Plus batteries fail and chargers burn out. You'll save thousands per year.
Dan, you're cool! Stop putting yourself down, please. Your personality is pure fun. I really don't care about gold panning; I love watching you. Depending on when you filmed this; an inversion machine might help your back. I'm a beekeeper, always lifting heavy beehives, and whenever I stress my back, some working out upside down relieves the pressure.
Another interesting segment. As usual prospecting is not for the weak at heart, like myself. The wind, no problem with hearing, made it even more real. Best wishes.
Thanks for this Dan, I enjoy living vicariously through your videos. I've only been to the Fraser River once but never forgot how beautiful it is. Best of luck to you from New Mexico, USA
I'm gonna head out to the mountains and see if I can round up some gold for myself... of course our gold here in NW Wyoming isn't nearly as big and plentiful as it is in BC, but it's still just as much fun.
Idk if there’s any better way to kill a day than panning some dirt on a beautiful creek with a few beer chilling in the water and maybe a hog leg to puff on 😂 fly fishing is a close second though
@@stevenlaxton3618 I got rained on a few times and the gold wasn't very good, but it was great to be out there. The skeeters weren't bad, it wasn't too hot, and where I go to pan is only 15 miles from Yellowstone Park so that can attest to the scenery. Not a bad day.
Dan, if you take this concept a bit farther, go to the tops where the boulders are biggest, and topple them. I bet you find a beast. You are on top of running into my theories on rock formations. Keep digging, we’re all diggin’ it with you (: Thanks for being A personality
I'm a fairly new viewer and new to gold. I looked up the value of todays find it was $46 USD. I'm thinking most folks do this as a hobby, rather than a living. Kinda like the casino - most days it's a bust, but you keep going back for the big jackpot. In the long run, there is more loss to prospecting, than a gain. All for fun.
Hate to tell you this Dan but that's when I knew I was starting to get old.....when I hurt my back sleeping! Enjoy your videos keep on prospecting! Keep on finding gold!
Ive been a subscriber for a little while now, atleast a year or two now. Since i subscribed ive found myself becoming an amatuer prospector having found jade, chrysoprase, gold, and platinum. Just got myself a nugget detector too. This channle has defintly changed the course of my life for the better.
1900hrs 13 August. Dan, you're terrific. I love every one of your videos. In NZ we say that guys like you are "a dag", meaning clever, witty, entertaining. I'm a crevicer in south island rivers and my best piece is 3 grams. Best wishes, Mike.
I never understand the people who claim that you're faking your results or planting flakes in your pans. Is it possible that you're faking it? Sure, anything is possible. But why would you? It's not like you're claiming 20 grams of gold per pan. The results you get are perfectly in keeping with the amount of effort that you put in. There's nothing even remotely suspicious about your videos. I figure it's just people desperate for attention so they run around to any channel with lots of views and claim fraud.
Dan fakrs nothing, ive looked at the geo of the area its knows for big gold and he knows what to look for..this is my late husbands account i came looking for channels i miss ..im sure im subbed to Dan on my own ..but it takes time to get back to normal when your normal isnt alive one morning when you eake up in mid 40,s ...im getting there but he was a huge fan of Dan the gold man..
Thanks Dan! I worked as a carpet cleaner 26 years and now at 57 I have to say that I feel my back survived with regular chiropractic maintenance. Not for everyone, many poo poo the benefits, but if you can get a referral from a friend and give it a try you may fine relief sooner than later. Good luck. 😀
Dan is wonderful and anyone whom says otherwise is a jealous hater. Dan, we love you and your channel brings us such joy. I am a hermit so your adventures allow my to have some vicarious fun experiences. 😊
A beautiful day on the Fraser river plus getting a few bucks in the pan and a few bucks from RUclips to boot. Love it. Glad to see no fires in your area.😊
Dan thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I look forward to the day that I get my feet wet and have a sore back at the end of the day prospecting for gold.
Dam I really enjoy your videos I've been watching you for about three years I'm 65 retired and on a fixed income but I do want to start buying your paydirt just to relax more you have yourself a fantastic year god bless
Real nice job in the video today dan! Thank you so much for talking about the money involved and how much gold you actually got today! People rarely do this, and it leaves all of us who don't have the time or unable to go and do what you do, to find out about the bottom line money that you take home from this! It shows us that the true love of prospecting is simply finding the gold 😄🎉
WATCHING YOU MR DAN MAKES MY DAY. LEARN ALOT ABOUT 💯 FROM YOU,WHILE I RECOVER FROM MY CAR WRECK IN DECEMBER AFTER CHRISTMAS COMING HOME FROM WALMART. JUST LEARNING TO WALK NOW. LEVEL 2 TRAUMA TO SPOKANE. 3 HOURS TO CUT ME OUT. SO YOUR VIDEOS RELAX ME AND CHEER ME UP. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS YOUNG MAN. A DRILL TO BREAK UP ROCKS? 😆
Exciting !!! Love the way you tackled the boulder moving though it looks dangerous. Go Dan, Go !!! The low back is way too easy to strain , take care. You should have a buddy-system and the pulley system if you want to move boulders like a super-human. Beautiful gold that you worked hard for.
Do they have Jade on the Fraser? Wondering because one of the rocks you showed looked a bit like jade. At least to me on the video. Right above your hand at 1:31. Dark green with a white streak running thru it.
I don't know how your hat stays on in that wind, Dan! Great video for the gold content and panning. Slow motion feature looks terrific. I always think of Stan Rogers singing Northwest Passage when I watch your videos. ¡?¡
Am a new fan. Watching you test that ratchet to its limit on the rocks. Having used a ratchet strap for unapproved heaving myself. I would suggest throwing the simple truckers hitch in the line. This gives you a 2:1 pulling force.
Great video as usual, Dan. What a magnificent place to live and work .Thanks again for sharing you're experience and knowledge. Greetings from California!
DAN! I just heard there news about the landslide! I hope everyone is safe! We’re going to need a bigger geology lesson of the day if you can’t get to the Fraser! Stay safe! Keep up the good work ⛏️
You can’t hear the wind on the mikes only a little bit but it don’t cover up your voice.we can always hear what u say really well.that’s amazing the gold you get on that river.where does it all come from.out of the mountains I guess but it looks fun to do either way.🇨🇦🇨🇦

what's the drag down.. he's got over 1.33M subscribers and he's out panning for gold. lol
You're never annoying Dan! I love your rants!
Your happy positive attitude is infectious. I always feel happier after watching you. You won my subscription long, long ago.

I definitely second this motion... meeting ajurned.... now let's get some gold!!
Dan hits the mark, for sheer enthusiasm, pure love of what he is doing.
Ive just found your channel and i love it. I do feel a little worry when your working so close to that river whipping so fast.

Dan, the secret to moving heavy objects as you get older is to find and harness some 20 year old body builders.

When you were scooping out the first dirt to pan, you were so keen.
It's great to see.

Good work Dan 💪 if you grab a little sling to choke around the rock then clip your winch line to that it will prolong the life of your line
A Dan Hurd gold panning video!!! Lets go!! The best ever
the power of that river is just nuts, in order to have those LARGE rounded boulders up that high, i mean just crazy.
Thanks for the videos always enjoyable
You bet! and thank you for the support!

Never boring always fun to listen to you talk and teach. Your the real gold 😊❤
Thanks for sharing the adventures, Dan Man !
Sound was great, not much windage at all. Also, be assured that we’re here because you are not annoying; you are an excellent and pleasant Presenter.

I'm glad I found you again I've learned a lot form you I wasn't sure I was finding gold until I found your channel
Thanks Dan... appreciate you
You're a great teacher and amazing at getting some really good shots. I'm glad that you keep yourself in check and try to take care, when care is needed! With yourself and how you prospect.
Back strains at our age are nothin to mess with. And don't feel bad, I forget things all the time now.
Watching him pan the gold all hunched over hurts my back just watching it.
That was great Dan!!!🤠
I think the mercury is in your pan at 22:21.

It only works if you remember to check your list!😊
You shouldn't "should" on people.
@@lanaarpin6540 The first item on the list is "DON"T FORGET TO CHECK THE LIST"

And then remember that you made a checklist and where you put it

Would be productive af😅😅
I 100% agree
Bruh do we all have the exact same homepage? Ive been watched eddie and brian all week
I couldn’t imagine the sight of Eddie just squatting by the river panning for gold 😂 shit would be a great collab 😂
@OGFantom420 ha! His hands making the pan look like the tiny meme one Pauly has! Would be like watching a silver back pan!
Hate to tell you this Dan but that's when I knew I was starting to get old.....when I hurt my back sleeping!
Enjoy your videos keep on prospecting! Keep on finding gold!
Who else watches this channel for inspiration?
Love watching this guy❤😊
You would have to be part mountain goat to tackle those rocks!

I'm awake at 3:30 am for no reason. Thats why I'm here lol this guy is great tho
He makes the majority look like a bunch of ass hats. Attitude and positivity. Don't change a thing!
Thanks for the videos Dan!! I dont have recreational panning where I live, so i get to live vicariously through your videos. Thanks again
Watching the slow motion of your panning is quite fascinating while the water pulls rocks off the surface.

Good use with the ratchet straps. And yes, a comealong can be very useful moving big rocks. Good work!👍
Dam I really enjoy your videos I've been watching you for about three years I'm 65 retired and on a fixed income but I do want to start buying your paydirt just to relax more you have yourself a fantastic year god bless
Sorry I put dam I shake a lot I meant to say dan
Thanks Dan. I so enjoy my sunday mornings panning my cons while watching your adventures!
Real nice job in the video today dan! Thank you so much for talking about the money involved and how much gold you actually got today! People rarely do this, and it leaves all of us who don't have the time or unable to go and do what you do, to find out about the bottom line money that you take home from this! It shows us that the true love of prospecting is simply finding the gold 😄🎉
nice gold thank you for sharing the adventure and information and scenery of the river.
Good Morning Mr. Dan...your slo mo is fantastic. Have a great day !!
Hello sir @Dan Hurd I Say your content is the stuff of youtube legends sir. Bravo Sir, Bravo Sir Indeed.
WATCHING YOU MR DAN MAKES MY DAY. LEARN ALOT ABOUT 💯 FROM YOU,WHILE I RECOVER FROM MY CAR WRECK IN DECEMBER AFTER CHRISTMAS COMING HOME FROM WALMART. JUST LEARNING TO WALK NOW. LEVEL 2 TRAUMA TO SPOKANE. 3 HOURS TO CUT ME OUT. SO YOUR VIDEOS RELAX ME AND CHEER ME UP. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS YOUNG MAN. A DRILL TO BREAK UP ROCKS? 😆
Exciting !!! Love the way you tackled the boulder moving though it looks dangerous. Go Dan, Go !!! The low back is way too easy to strain , take care. You should have a buddy-system and the pulley system if you want to move boulders like a super-human. Beautiful gold that you worked hard for.
Do they have Jade on the Fraser? Wondering because one of the rocks you showed looked a bit like jade. At least to me on the video. Right above your hand at 1:31. Dark green with a white streak running thru it.
I always enjoy your videos, Dan. The only thing irritating to me on this one was the *sound* of the vacuum. Thank you for keeping that short!
I don't know how your hat stays on in that wind, Dan! Great video for the gold content and panning. Slow motion feature looks terrific. I always think of Stan Rogers singing Northwest Passage when I watch your videos. ¡?¡
Suction cups
Just went gold panning for the first time. Found extremely small gold but had a blast. Thanks Dan for being an inspiration!
Am a new fan. Watching you test that ratchet to its limit on the rocks. Having used a ratchet strap for unapproved heaving myself. I would suggest throwing the simple truckers hitch in the line. This gives you a 2:1 pulling force.
Hello Dan, thanks for bringing me on your adventure.
Great video as usual, Dan. What a magnificent place to live and work .Thanks again for sharing you're experience and knowledge. Greetings from California!
DAN! I just heard there news about the landslide! I hope everyone is safe! We’re going to need a bigger geology lesson of the day if you can’t get to the Fraser! Stay safe! Keep up the good work ⛏️
😊
Thanks for showing how you clean up your gold in the pan. That was fascinating. ❣️
Love the energy, Dan is the gold goat.

Good job Dan, didn't relize the river was that deep. Kinda scary looking.
You can’t hear the wind on the mikes only a little bit but it don’t cover up your voice.we can always hear what u say really well.that’s amazing the gold you get on that river.where does it all come from.out of the mountains I guess but it looks fun to do either way.🇨🇦🇨🇦
That river looks scary fast. Thank youu for yourvideoss. I hope your back heals soon. 🇬🇧
Always enjoy your videos! Thank you for making them.

Thanks for the video! What beautiful scenery, I’m in Dallas no pretty rivers or mountains. Great work!
I live in Dahlonega GA & thinking about getting started doing some panning. I'm sure it's not all gone down here.
Thanks for the inspiration Dan.
