Gold Nugget! - First time down into my Pickerton claim since the water levels dropped from spring run off. I spend the day Metal Detecting the upper bench, finding lots of gold and lots of lead. See the difference, and see who wins the epic metal detector battle of Gold vs Lead. Oh ya, and I found a gold nugget!

@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542 Год назад

I know I could never say 'I could do better' because I'm in worse health than Dan is, but it would be fun to have the free time to just crawl around digging and panning for gold on a fine day like that anyhow. I'd just have to go a lot slower at it.

@roberthern3057 Год назад

Hey Dan! Just found you today and have already binged 10 or 12 videos!! Absolutely love the content and you are a hoot! Lol. Been an amateur rock hound all my life and would love to pan some material!! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Awesome video Dan, I've been waiting for a Pickerton video all summer and here it is and it was amazing. The beautiful Fraser river with it's hidden treasure, the running of the salmon, and fantastic vistas make for the greatest content on RU-vid. Thank you so much for taking us along on these prospecting adventures in B.C. Dan, you always capture the moment with great excitement. As a born and raised British Columbian living on the prairie, your videos warm the soul and reminds us of where were from. Cheers !

About drinking water, there are small portable water filters that eliminate all parasites and other crud. Is there a reason why such a filter won't work for Fraser River water?

@boarbot7829 Год назад

Exactly what I was thinking.

@fajile5109 Год назад

I got one that hangs. I just wish the bag was better. You can mod the filter to work on other bottles too. Its comes with screw on nozzles. Its ok the water taste fine i just dont like these cheapo filters to much.

Dan should get a life straw or similar water filter so he can replenish his water when prospecting in an area that is a long hike to get to. I always keep one in my backpack and they work great.

@bradw3869 Год назад

With the ice cold, fast moving Fraser River infront of him, I think the life straw would be the perfect addition to a pack

@Alondro77 Год назад

I found a bunch of 'fly poops' in the NJ glacier deposit I've been prospecting. The gold is in EVERY sample I've taken from the moraines, but it's all very tiny flakes and only a handful per sample. Still, that means there could be a higher concentration of them from deeper in the deposit. I'm going to get samples from where groundhogs have been digging into the side of the hill, near the bottom.

@MichaelBuck Год назад

Whelp, not bad for a few hours , looked like 23 grams of gold at ~$1,700 USD. However, at the end of the video it was 1.16 grams, and the Gold Price Per Gram is $ 55.32, so not all that much overall from this find. Still a great hourly wage, allot better than working at the local burger joint. An hour or two in great weather enjoying the wilderness, and you made a more money in that time than most. Note: The experience of knowing where to look and not waste your day really helps! The formation of the bedrock acts like a sluice box and funnels the gold into those pockets. Really cool how water and rocks work together!

@jcon1000 Год назад

As always, loved the video! Always happy when you find gold, Im always rooting for you! Quick thought/Question: I dont know the laws at all so not sure if this is viable, BUT can you bring a shoot/tube with you that can move water up to level where you could be sitting and using your pan instead of squatting? I am sure you are used to squatting after all these years, but just a thought, especially so you dont have to add knees to your issue list 😊 My father was a stone mason and we would always try to figure out better ways for him to work to help his hips and knees.
