Clean-up of the Thompson river cons. 

Not only did I enjoy your teaching pan thingy but you have a relaxing and calming voice with a lovely tone thank you for your lovely show sir

may 2020, still watching. i haven't been bored from your process, locations or guest. at 66 years old still learning.

If we wasn't bored already we wouldn't be watching RU-vid videos You couldn't make us any more bored I always enjoy all of your content

You can't be boring even with a 10-hour video of shoveling. Great video!

Bro, I don't think many of your viewers consider the time wasted! I've learned by watching, and glad we get to live vicariously through you! That's the fun of exploring past videos! It's all new ground, even when it's old! 😂

I watched it all. I totally love it.

No Dan. Its not boring at all. Actually, its interesting to see a realistic time description of the work involved. Most think its easy thinking gold jumps out of the water. Its interesting to see the process, technique and patience. Im in Puerto Rico and I go to where the conquistadors exploited the rivers. Just so happens that Grandpa used to take me to the river and tell me about an old "americano" that spent a few months in the area panning for gold. That stuck in my head and now that Im retired, I can do it with time to spare. Just imagine a tropical jungle and a river that winds into corners and lots of gravel banks not touched for hundreds of hears. This is due to all the changes that the island has had in economics whereas people forgot about gold prospecting. People are too busy making a living with no digging. Gramps never told me where the old timer did his thing but recently thanks watching videos like yours I have pinpointed the areas worked by the prospector over 55 years ago. I enyoy seeing you controlling the youngsters that are distracted and talking. You do a great job and i admire your patience and charisma. Thanks for sharing and if you ever make it to Puerto Rico just let me know. Oh yes, I have found color looking for pay streaks. Just waiting for the river to calm down so I can stay down there camping for a week at a time. Thanks again.

This man's voice is gold love watching his videos

Watching you sort out the cons to get to the gold is very entertaining

Dan I really enjoyed those birds on the background, awesome sir.

You Sir have the patience of a saint...great video.

Ya' know, most videos are just "high-light reels... I, for one, watched and appreciated the whole thing! Thank you for posting this great vid!

Dude. You need to get over your fear that you're boring us. Why don't we just let you know if that happens, and until then, just assume that we're completely riveted. And we can skip or play at 1.25 speed if we're in a hurry. I paused and made popcorn. Thanks very much for giving us what we asked for.

Don't worry Dan! I was looking for one of your longer videos on purpose! Can't afford merch at the moment but I can tick up some likes and views!! Thanks for the infotainment!

You are definitely not boring Dan, I love the longer in depth vids n I'm sure most people do. Stay safe

I really like watching your videos. Thank you for your time.

I pan the same way you do with your cons ,very cautious. Good job in my eyes

Watched it all. Not boring at all....very informative....thanks

on my way to steal neighbor's table saw lol

You are a very entertaining person! While it’s nice to be warned of a long video it is educational to see how it really works! Valuable information!

I watched the whole thing too. Very interesting for me. Thanks, Dan.

Again, another wealth of knowledge shared by Dan. It is very interesting to see all the equipment you could buy to do all of this. And then Dan shows us how it’s used. I say it all the time. . . . . . . . It seems like an awful lot of work to get so little unless you stumble on some huge hunk of gold. Something tells me that doesn’t happen too often! I still love to watch Dan. His delivery is always so smooth!! Thanks. Dan 👍👍

Idk about some people but there is definitely nothing boring about your videos , love to see you find some PA Gold one day lol , People think there isn’t Gold in Pa but my father’s past property has 19% Gold and other precious materials sending samples out to be tested , I should get out and do some panning just for the sake of past memories with him ,

You're awesome dude. Thank you for putting these together! Love your videos 👍

Residential neighborhood..? Loved that woods type of atmosphere living...oh well, your videos are the TOPS n always learning alot from you!! Thank you 😊

Love watching you pan I'd love to go panning for gold someday it's been my dream I've watched this video a couple of times now

Even the way Dan scoops a hand full of water is masterful

I watched the whole thing and I loved it! Thank you so much Dan! I'm finally getting some paydirt and some panning equipment. I can't wait to get I'm at and be able to run stuff at home like you do

Nice cleanup Dan, thanks for sharing!

I watched every second of it. You've got the fever buddy. And I like it. I don't even own a pan yet but if I keep watching you I see one in my future. Keep it up brother it's very interesting and your a great teacher.

Not Boring at all. Very relaxing.

Good to watch some one with more experience pan, I learned alot, Thanks for another great video Dan!

Looked like a great weekend trip.

I like watching the cleanup. Thanks for sharing.

Watching the black sand fall like a curtain is a beautiful thing.

gotta love all your videos

I'm bored at work once in a while. I come here to find inspiration

Watching the whole show. I'm eleven minutes in, and I'm thinking I'm seeing enough of his back and not of his pan-work. And then you shift to your left! 😄 Oh and the wren in your yard is boss!

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Again.

I really like watching the cons get run btw. Thanks!

Great video. Thanks Dan !

I enjoy the whole process and I thank you

I like your video's its most relaxend and i think its not boring 👍🏻😃

I must be watching your videos end to end. I find it suiting when working on something else. Keeps me engaged and not too distracting plus your get the view. Kudos and keep them up.

Tricky Gold, great show Dan, it sure made you work for it

That is an AWESOME pan Dan

Damn this is Bob from Connecticut us you certainly earn my subscription I love what you do I love when you have a new video come out I did Skip right to the end cuz I do know the process thank you for making all these God bless you and yours and have a great day I hope you put some cameras up to catch whoever put those great on your claim at least you found later

That was cool! Thanks Dan.

Great video ! and love the miners beard .

Thanks for the vid very enjoyable, cheers.

Good video, I have learned a lot from you. It was refreshing to see you in the zone,rather than trying to entertain the audience. While I do enjoy your dialogue, it was good to see the concentration and patience going into recovery..keep doing what your doing! Cheers!

Good job on the cleanup , no spec left behind

I like the set up. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is appreciated.

Oh and I also use the same angle app that you use.. I love it.. super easy to use

Boring?? Not at all. Very interesting watching the whole thing. One of your best uploads. Indeed relaxing as well, and that bird with the powerful voice produced the nicest music you could get to a video. :) Thanks.

nice work. I bet doc appreciated the shout out! Oh! Real nice gold too!

Dan I love longer videos

Great videos.

Enjoyed ever bit of the video learning a lot from it don't have much gold down here in Missouri mostly flour gold bought me a ban and a detector and give it a try this spring keep up the good Dan😁✝️🦌🐿️🦃👀

That's a good lookin clean out And nice video as always

I use those green stools for paddlefishing camp on the upper Missouri river. They're real handy.

I enjoyed the video. Glad you were able to get enough gold to compensate for the effort you put forth.

nice wisteria bud! thanks for the videos! i am planning a vacation in july to B.C. and if anyone must take blame its you. haha! very beautiful there and plenty of gold!

what skip Dan's video no I watched it. Great clean up and thanks for showing us.

Thought it was educational thank you dan

i really like youre video`s they are informatif and fun

Not boring lol, an adventure for all !

No doubt about it. Mining definitely requires time, patients, and coffee.👍

great video...lots of work to get the results, but worth it !!!

Thanx Dan, not boring at all... not for us keeners and you're a good teacher, ...any chance when you have some downtime a video on tips n' tricks to using the MTO site?....just a suggestion and something you don't have to leave the home to do.

I love all of your videos and appreciate all that you do !!! Thank you !!! I like to see the process if A to B to C to D and so on ,,,, not A to Z ,,,, you lose the experience ,,, I ride both kind of motorcycles ,, a Kawasaki Ninja and a Kawasaki Mean Streak . One is fast and gets you there in a hurry and that's fun , but the other let's you see the sights and enjoy the experience of getting there :) Again , Thank you for all that you do !!!

Thanks Dan.

Not bad Teacher Dude :) keep up the good work

Awesome gold thankyou very much for the video lots of respect for you showing us all in between you and pioneer Pauley I respect yous both because you are true prospects love your videos always

Thanks. It's almost like watching that teacher started watching three months back that was teaching a class of 16-18 y/o on Mining and prospecting. It did have a bit of dead air but the importance of it was the process more than conservation. I do think once you got it down to a smaller amount a blue bowl or miller table would have been faster than the Garrett sluice. It's just really too slow for that material. But with what you had; you would have to modify the blue bowl by adding a mat to it so the gold wouldn't slide. And maybe it would have took just as long but as it was running you could have packed up the equipment you used to condense the material down as it was running and in a way it would have saved you time overall. If you have a gold drop; it too may have worked; maybe. As you said it was a floatly material.

I can spend the day panning cons at home. Gold therapy.

I enjoyed that

Looks like some coarse gold in there too, in a creek if I saw that I'd be looking for the quartz! Maybe add some macro zoomed end pics in future to see structure. Gold raw out of the rock can look very intense and even steam vent type patterns of formation can be seen. Like small crystals of gold looking more like bacteria formed it..

What a strange neighborhood, one guy panning gold, others that just don't care, one that gets his butt in, and one with a loud saw!

Very nice clean up, I would love to have a clean up, sluice system like you have. Looked like more than 1 gram but it is hard to tell how big those flakes are on a screen. Good luck, Take care, and Happy Easter.

Hi Dan enjoyed the longer download keep them comimg.

Brilliant

I"ll tour with ya. Great job!

Dan.... It's Dan... First and foremost the videos keep me in good spirits during our off season ...They are NOT BORING JUST REALISTIC...I was wondering if you can come down to the United States and come and check out some some sapphires and gold mines we have discovered in Montana...I am from Washington State planning on going prospecting for a week and see if our spot is worth the claim...Would love to see you on a camping trip to Montana. ..

Great job and an excellent video. Fantastic clean out! Seeing you go thru the motions as they say shows us tricks, and challenges of each setup and each running environment and equipment configuration. I noticed you have to fight the mat to get it out of the sluice without flinging gold everywhere for example. How many grams did you end up with once ya dried it out?

Brilliant once again Dan : ) Never dull, always relaxing and stress-free watching your channel. That's a nice pan of gold! I was wondering - if you had a centrifuge you could maybe spin the gold to separate it from black sand? Have you ever tried it? You could create a centrifuge from an adapted food blender.

Nothing wrong with that Nice pieces .

I use the gold hog multi sluice to clean my cons, it does a great job, saves time and has a very high capture rate (98-99%). They're a bit pricey but if you're using it in the field the time it saves you planning you can spend hi banking. Mine easily paid for its self in just a few trips

love the longer video. You should do it like that more often.

I watched the whole thing. I always learn a lot from your videos and it's much appreciated! That seems like a lot of gold to be only 1.076g. Was that supposed to be oz and not g?

Most concrete walks, porches, patios, even steps are slightly sloped to shed water. Throw a level on them. Might affect the sluice due to the pitch

If you use an iphone you can go into the compass, swipe to the right. The phone has a built-in level that doesn't require any other apps to use.

Mr hurd im new to panning and iv been watching your videos and have learned alot but i had an idea and you are the best person for it could you build a gold trap still sluice out of 2 paint roller trays

Do you have a video of setting the system up? Starting from a bare deck to sitting down to work? I would be interested in that!

I admit I skipped through it pretty fast, but did stop several times to makes sure I got the general goings on and saw the nice result. If your ever in Scotland let me know, we can do a bit of panning :)

Nice gold there. Wish it was easy to get a claim near me in Australia

nice video its was not boring except the noise from a grinder in your neighborhood...

Mr Hurd, How old were you when you began doing gold prospecting among other precious stones? Been watching your videos since the beginning of the pandemic 2020 to keep myself entertained and just watching your videos together with Pauly, been feeling the gold fever 😂 now I watch and then practice in Georgia on panning, so far nothing but it is fun to watch and learn.

I watched it all

Nice video,what is the name of the app for measuring the angle you have recommended?
