You're recording this because you are cementing your name as a gold prospecting legend for future generations to learn from. Considering You're too humble to say it i will.
The knowledge that someone teaches you , they pass the wealth of information to you a life time of hard work and hard decisions, sometimes it’s not easy and giving them a hand to expand their minds and grow you are truly an educator ... thank you Mr Hurd . Bless you for caring ...The Black Dog Down.....over and out!....
Have watched as many of your videos as I can find. I hope the students realize how fortunate they are to have a great chance to learn from you .... I learned all my prospecting , more or less on the "trial and error" method , .....that was before the RU-vid days. All I have been able to do is look VERY HARD ......I live in Alabama and all the gold here is super small -----leading all the way to the Carolina's ! Don't get me wrong I have a great time looking for it and as you go northeast the chances are better that the gold will increase in size and amounts. Keep up the great work ....love your teaching skills and style.....l'm a very lucky guy to still do a lot outdoors at age 63 , my health has allowed me to stay as active as I want...... and I do . Also thank you for all the great info l've received from all your videos.RICHARD!
I stumbled across this series of videos from the class you taught to your students. What a great series. Thanks I like the way you teach the kids. Being a teacher is not an easy job. My daughter and her daughter are both teachers. My daughter is teaching third grad this year and my grand daughter is teaching first grade. The both love teaching. Thanks again for being a great teacher.
I love your approach, direct and to the point, learnt a hell of alot from you, got my garrett pan set today!!! Could you do a vid on gems one time? Like quartz and amethyst please?
Thank you for the great video's recently subscribed. It's nice to see you teaching this to students even though some look to be acting "difficult" with you. wish this class was offered to me when I was going through high school! any chance of covering smelting? keep up the great work.
Thank you again Dan for another great video. I have used your videos and suggestions as a guide to the items that I'll need for my travels around the country Thank you again
Exactly, I am red head too and have had heat stroke twice. The first time I was cleaning out a vessel in the oilfield near edson, alberta and almost passed out. The 2nd time I was flat roofing with hot tar and it put me in the hospital. Also redheads are almost immune to any types of painkillers, tylenol wont even work for me if I have a headache. A doctor told me this not long ago.
i think its great that you get to teach the art of prospecting to our young people. and you living in a gold bearing area helps i am working with some guys in va who do the fishing events for kids on letting me introduce panning to them as well keep up the good work. where are you located
I recently started carrying toothbrushes in my backpack, you can take some of your toothbrushes and drill a small hole at the handle end and insert a small steel rod with the tip of the steel rod slightly bent for a crevice tool.. I have 3 with different gauge steel.. Lol.. and I also pack different size spoons
Couldn't see your mini crevice shovel. Where did you get it, or did you make it? I was thinking of modifying several deep bar spoons to various widths.
Have you ever thought of having a charcoal filtration water bottle with you ? instead of all the plastic bottles better for the environment and les wait you have to carry . but I love your videos keep up the good work
My days of packing ventures are over. Good Rounded information. LOL, Anyone who says they've never lost a vile of gold or snuffer bottle are Liars ! Or never went panning more then a few times ? LOL And there you just completed your annual back pack inventory.
