A spiral gold wheel to recover lots of gold! 

I don't know why I was recommended this but I am not disappointed.

Thank you Mr. Hurd! You took the mystery out of this strange, hypnotic device. Request: please do an episode on legal issues, staking a claim, prospecting on different kinds of land using different kinds of equipment, dealing with local laws and authorities, and such. If it's all too complex, I'd be happy if you could refer us all to reference materials and/or websites that address these matters. Many thanks for all these helpful videos.

You must be a wonderful teacher because your enthusiasm is infectious and will spark the interest in young people for a lifetime of learning.

I have had one of these wheels in storage for over 10 years, and never used it, but you have inspired me to do so now. I believe I can set it up in the tub and go for it. Thank you, wish me luck.

Dan I wish there was more people in the world like you. It warms my heart to see someone doing what they love and still thinking of others while doing it. you have a subscriber for life my friend. High five to you from Utah

This is why I love to watch you, your always looking out for everyone else. Mike has a great friend in you. Blessings from Australia

I really can't believe you are existing in real world.... It's like to see a unicorn or the Kraken...

I watched the whole video, and thanks to the Spiral Wheel, I was able to Quit Smoking. My Girlfriend on the other hand thinks she's a Chicken. 😂😂😂😂 Great Video Dan, love the hard work and dedication ✌️

Great tutorial Dan. Think I like my pan method of cleaning best. Very generous but I don't mind sharing, couldn't have gotten the dang truck out without you and Doug LOL and now we have a great story to tell ;)

you just tricked us into watching that spiral for 10 minutes, i cant see anymore

This has to be the best educational video on the spiral wheel, it's limits, and abilities . Atta boy Mr. Hurd!

I love that you take care of your people, meaning friends, coworkers and family. I know you know what you're doing because you've been doing it a long time and you don't mind showing your failures as well as your victories. I really like it.

As long as you are showing gold, we are watching 😁🤙

5 seconds in and I'm so glad I came across this fella. Exactly the type of bloke I'd expect to talk about prospecting.

I think RU-vid's AI finally figured out that im broke af

I love your presentation style and the fascinating ways you collect and concentrate gold. Thank you so much for sharing your work - I don't do cold and wet, so I'm glad someone is willing to do it!

*Dan Hurd* You are one of a kind, very interesting and excellent demonstration of the spiral wheel. If you were a salesman, you would have gotten the sale!

I wanna see a time and weight recovered comparison between processing with the spiral wheel and panning, and just using only a pan. Use the same paydirt and see what method is faster. That would be really cool. Still a neat tool!

So this is how leprechauns fill those pots of gold...the more you know!

So nice to give the gold to your friend, you're a good man Dan Hurd.

I should present you my wife. She is a gold digger.

Dan, Thank you Finally someone sowed me how to operate the spiral wheel gold concentrator and recover gold from the use of process.🙂🙂

Thank you Dan for the demonstration. I’ll have to pan a lot of gold before buying one of these tools.

Not at all sure what makes this guy so calming and soothing but I do enjoy his personality quite a lot.

Nice score Dan!! Looking good buddy. Almost as much as we get on the RU-vid GOLD site! The Gold Wheel is definitely a MUST HAVE!

This is one of the most educational I have seen on the spiral wheel. Excellent video

That was so generous man. I hope Mike is doing well. God bless you guys.

Thanks, Dan. That video was very helpful. I really enjoy when you go out and do some Prospecting. Keep making those great videos.

I can't stop watching the wheel. I've been hypnotized and I'm now in a catatonic state. I have not heard a word you said.

Great Show! You’re video helped me understand the spiral wheel better. Thanks!

Love the video Dan! Looks like this machine can do a little more bigger material than the blue bowl. So, it looks to me that that 45 degree mode allows to get rid of most of the black sand over the front lip. It does get lost with the dirt and non gold though. But, you can get it back with some magnets at least. I liked the black sand going up with the gold through the center. Your adjustments to control how much black sand vs gold was very interesting in that area. A tube where gold would be caught in the center could get fed into a blue bowl below and the black sand removed and caught in the bucket below. Just would need just enough water flowing so that it can flow into the bowl. A clear tube would be best as you would like to be able to see what is going on and be able to tell if anything is getting stuck in the tube.

Great video Dan, nice to see different ways of cleaning up gold cons.

my wife of twenty years went gold panning with me and i told her when she found enough for a ring we would wed. that was june by december we wed. she knows the value of gold.

I appreciate the gold prospector looking like a prospector

This is so captivating to watch!

I'm absolutely hypnotized with this presentation.

very interesting Dan , looks great , the spiral Gold wheel works well , thanks for showing this :-) 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I enjoy watching you pan and do this spiral video. Thank you.

I came into the room, and found my brother hypnotized by your spiral thing. How do I wake him up?

WOW, this is the absolute BEST video on how to work the gold wheels! I have the smaller blue one but, your information has helped me out SO SO MUCH!!!! Thank you very much, and I really enjoyed watching your video. I realize now, I have been doing my wheel completely wrong! However, I have kept my tailings so I can re-do them again =D When I first purchased the blue wheel, there was hardly ANY information about how to go about using it, I am so glad I found your video today!!! ;) I also subscribed to your channel, and look forward to watching more of your videos!

The angle of the dangle, A twist with a kiss, Will make your fluid start pumping & you end up with the baby gold!...lol

Really enjoying your older videos Dan. You must have been a great teacher!

Thank you, Dan... Some nice gold for a bad day on the river... Mike should be happy with that...

You are a very patient and generous man dan, thanks for the informed videos.

honestly i clicked because of that awesome beard. thought it was fake at first but i was wrong that's jut a killer beard.

Nice demeanor is viral. Whey I'm hunting, I try to "happy up" when I get a little frustrated, or fatigued. It helps to stay in good spirits

could you not, in theory, run that stuff through a series of wheels at different settings for a completely automated process, gradually refining the take down to only gold ?

I’ve operated a number of those portable spiral concentrates and the one built by Keene Is outstanding because it is not as finicky about feed rate. The ultimate spiral concentrator is the Oro Industries horizontal spiral concentrator. We used 2 of them with different angles to recover ultra-fine gold and they performed beautifully with more forgiveness than a spiral wheel.

Tom Bombadil, is that you?!?

I enjoy watching your videos. It helps to keep my mind off of winter and focused on the coming year. Thank you

I have one, I use it, I love it... another great how to video Dan.

You weren't even trying and you taught me how to pan better than anyone I've ever seen. Never really got shown how important classifying the material was.

I enjoy doing this and need all the help I can get...I’m not a serious prospector, more the fun of-it than looking for that elusive pay-day!

Thanks Dan! love your video's. You have been a big help to a lot of viewers. I've been watching many different sites and yours is the best. The Gold hog might be something I would invest in because of it being so portable.

Thanks Dan, would you give me an estimate on how much a machine like that costs and do you have a favorite brand?

The first thing I learned from you is patients, the second is happiness. I like that kind of gold . Thanks .😄

Dan's wife: "where the #$%^& is my kitchen strainer"

Dan Hurd is pure gold...excellent character! Love him showing kids too. I learned as a kid in Novia Scotia how to pan and am getting back into it. Fun stuff!

Just curious if you ever figured out, after expenses, how much is your average hourly wage as a prospector?

i just picked up a wheel and learning the angle and water flow as well...thank you for sharing dan 😊

this is an hypnotic wheel ,i 'm afraid to sleep before the end ;-)

Very good explanation of how too, on the wheel, all the variables explained and shown, the wheel was one of the first pieces of equipment I bought but it was collecting too much black sand so it went into storage, it will be coming out and put to work again, Thank You.

Would it make things faster if you were to place a magnetic strip on the outer edge?

Really like your channel...and also really like how you take the time to explain things and how it all works. I've never done any gold panning at all but would love to get into it. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

this guy is really awesome. great vid and great beard!!!!!

Never watched a spiral wheel work before. Was entertaining and learned a lot. Thanks!

He actually starts at 6:40

This is so cool seeing the gold literally come out of the black sand like magic!

"Something." 😇 Gold Fever is a real condition, not quite a disease, but not quite normal either. I've had it for years.

Thank you , Dan Hurd, for the very useful, interesting video. I have had a spiral wheel in the past, and I can only imagine how much gold that I lost; now with the new information from your video - no more lost gold!!

idk with that spiral seems a gold wizard was trying to hypnotize me.

Awesome, Dan! I have a desert fox spiral and never really felt confident that I had it set it up correctly. Thanx for the tips.

And great job by the way bud.

You have just the right of enthusiasm to be exciting and fun without being overly corny or overbearing or cringe. Its really wholesome and inviting.

How do you separate the platinum from the gold ?

That was a really interesting method Dan.thanks for showing us that.😊☮️

Took me a minute to realize “Cons” is Concentrates lol

This is the best! Getting ready to buy one and i already know how to work it because of your great teaching!! Thank you Susie

Anyone else getting dizzy? :)

You recovered a lot more than I expected from that little bit, came from a good spot that's for sure.

Might be my eyes being bad, my monitor being a TV, or something, bur every time you show the spiral up close to show black sand and gold going in, I don't see ANY gold. It's clear to see the results when you show us the pan but I just don't see anything but black sand going in.

you're an excellent teacher. i am really enjoying your explanation of how the machine works. maybe i oughtta get into gold panning/prospecting as a hobby....

why do you look like you're living on the gold rush age

Thanks, that was great. Such a different kind of channel and you are such a nice guy and a joy to watch.

Gold at $1300/ounce, 3.19 g = 0.11 oz => $143

Really cool to watch this Dan thanks for simple but intelligent tutorial on the gold wheel

Why is there a gnome in my recommended feed and why am I watching his video? And why am I enjoying it?

Thank you Dan for your intriguing videos.

I clicked because I thought it was Tom Bombadil in the tumbnail.

This youtube channel is the best educational channel on gold prospecting on RU-vid right now. So if u want to learn gold prospecting i would subscribe to this channel before any of the other channels. Just my opinion

3.2 grams, so about $136 USD of gold.

There is just something so relaxing about this, and then the exciting part comes at the end! Awesome video Dan!

so you made about a 100 euro for a days work with 3 guys.

Your very kind to give all of that to your friend.

Very hypnotic but definitely informative. Never seen one in action before.

Thank you. I bought a gold wheel without knowing when or how to use it. I should have bought a sluice or shaker box first. Thank you for teaching me how and when to use this device.

Mr. Dan. I'm addicted to your videos and your enthusiasm. I grew up in the Mother Lode of California, and after years of panning and sluicing, I lost my love of the sport. You, sir, have re-ignited my interest. I'm secretly hoping the little river below me floods again this year. Thanks, Dan, you ARE the man.

I found this and enjoyed it very much! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Dan. I learned a lot from the video. Im just starting out. And looking for the right technology. Hope to get out there soon

I liked it because I don't have one.it was interesting to see and learn how it worked. Thank you for sharing.
