Cut my way through the thick overgrowth to the Blue Chip Gold Mine, and did some digging in the main seam area looking for gold. I took 3 buckets of material back home to process, and found some nice hard rock gold in the material from this abandoned mine.

Hello. Hope you Have a great day

@michaeljones3974 Год назад

Okay, but not because you told me to.

@sunkenchesttreasurehunting8972 Год назад

God bless :)

@tdmccoy1211 Год назад

Hey Dude Guy! I hope you have a great day yourself! Do you also do any type of rockhounding yourself?

@pelululululu4830 Год назад

Thank you for that 😊

@leroyjenkins9035 Год назад

Id love an organized playlist in chronological order of your gold findings, i wanna see these in order!

@drydenstewartenterprises Год назад

Got the privilage of meeting Dan and his father at my work the other day, truly a modest and true gentleman, also quite a bit taller than I had assumed, hell of a hand shake!

@littletidbit Год назад

Hey Dan have you every tried fireing your gold quartz, putting them in a pretty hot campfire, Vo-Gus prospectin (hes Australian) did it and the quartz became super brittle and his gold was jagged and all over the place and super cool looking after lightly crushing it. Id love to see you try this and give your explanations on it.

@chriss8206 Год назад

Don't use a filter when doing what you're doing. The filter is only for cleaning the air discharge of dust. Don't use a filter for what you're doing. The vacuum will have more power.

@rintintinification Год назад

Dan, you are such a breath of fresh air. Your outlook on life and nature is wonderful.

@garrysshelton Год назад

Well, HELLOOOO there!

@alfster1969 Год назад

Hey Dan I have a crazy crusher as well I cut a 4 x 4 piece of wood and put it under my trailer hitch when I was crushing. It takes the bounce out and doesn’t take as much work to crash the ore. Great video look forward to the next one.

@randumb14. Год назад

I love this channel its so wholesome seeing people genuinely LOVING their work and being able to do it with their family :) I wish you the best of luck with your career and family Dan!

@Mdwells2944 Год назад

Love your videos! So informing to us non-miners.

@MikeBaxterABC Год назад

I,ve been watching gold prospecting on RU-vid and TV for 20 years, And never saw anyone use a vacuum before .. GREAT idea!

@user-cd7dp9sh9s 9 месяцев назад

Hey Dan I'm a gold miner in Oregon. And I wanna to shout out to you and thank you so much for showing what you got out of the work you did that day. That means a lot, keep up the good work.

@illvanessaill4485 Год назад

The shopvac is brilliant 😮😂❤

@bobbyspain905 Год назад

I’ve know about that for a little while now you can also use those little hand vacuums for narrow hard rock crevice you can’t break by using the narrow nozzle attachment.

@Timothy-NH Год назад

A contractor and his wife are hiking in the woods: Contractor: Honey, I hear a shop vac. Wife: you seriously need a vacation. C: Well, yes, but I really hear a shop vac. W: Ok dear, but you really. . . Wait, I hear it too. ***Couple comes around the corner*** W: Honey, why is some old guy vacuuming the forest floor. C: ummm, now we're both hearing things and having visions; wait, what mushrooms did you use in the stew?

@KrepsyK Год назад

"I think we need to extend our vacation" Lolololol

@bfox123456789 Год назад

This is gold

@logansears9635 Год назад

W: I think I accidentally put Chili peppers and a bucket of caffine over the stove that went in the stew. *Few years later W: Hey wasn't there a mountain here before. C: I don't remember

@kencarbon2346 Год назад

Enjoyed watching your video of your blue chip mine. Job well done. Your knowledge and experience and information on Prospecting goldore as well as other minerals is greatly appreciated. Thankyou Dan!😀

@jamesroseii Год назад

Watching you vacuum up that ore was oddly satisfying. I hope you do more videos in the future of the Blue Chip Mine, and please show more footage of you using the vacuum!! Thanks, Dan, for the awesome videos!!!

@markkilley2683 Год назад

I like it when people discover hidden gold, from old mining digs.

@bhuff557 Год назад

Thanks Dan I enjoyed watching this

@alink5918 Год назад

That's wild and rather funny! I guess that I never thought about vacuuming out the crevices! Looks like it worked well!

@dodgeit3014 Год назад

Can’t wait to see more from the mine Dan. Good video as always.

@ScottishGoldHunter Год назад

Really like the zoomed in shots Dan👌🏻 thanks for sharing⛏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love it when people are in church and I get to watch Dan. Hard rock gold is my favorite to see! When will you be hitting up Pickerton?

@s.d.iprospecting4359 Год назад

Those ferns are a good indicator for minerised areas.

@johnsweat1723 Год назад

Love the show! Always bring excellence to your shows. Thanks for the knowledge awesome stuff!

@dollydiddums7889 Год назад

True Story ! The cleaners who regularly used to service the jewellery quarter in Birmingham ran a productive sideline . Everything hoovered from all the premises were filtered over a 3 yr period and saved , the fine particles unseen to the human eye soon added up and within 5 yrs of being a humble cleaning company the boss retired with several millions . Great idea that still has legs 👍

@KrepsyK Год назад

Gold dust miners lol

@seemyworld1 Год назад

If you check out Klesh gold here on YT he goes to the jewellery district in NYC and scrapes up the dirt from the sidewalk and it has a ton of cut stones and gold in it.

@justinoblanco Год назад

Right on Dan! I love the format. I wouldn't mind at all if it was longer, with some more time spent on refining. The full-process videos bring meaning to the dig (which on its own can seem like just a video of dirt-moving) and context to the crush (which can seem dry and mechanical.) Very nicely done!

@janetross1900 Год назад

Yeah Dan do it!!

@thehillbillyhilton3557 Год назад

Doc and the folks at Gold Hog know their stuff. I have some of their mats myself. Been thinkin of gettin their Hog Moss mat but haven't decided yet. As always stay safe and stay strong.

@cameronmccreary4758 Год назад

That's great Dan; I love it, just suck out all the dirt and everything and sift out the gold later on. It is a great way to get gold where former miners couldn't have cared less about the dirt. You also vacuum up the neighborhood and that's always good.

@robycannady160 Год назад

👋 good morning to everyone

@tdmccoy1211 Год назад

Hi there!

@mariustumbrinck8551 Год назад

Thanks for showing the processing ❤

@banditprospecting6784 Год назад

Hello Dan! I love what you do keep up the good work!

@baileytaberham2177 Год назад

Hey Dan! If you're going to keep using the shop vac for collecting, you can get vortex separators that sit on top of the buckets! Keeps all the nice dirt in the bucket where you can see how much you have and helps to protect the shop vac too! We usually use them in workshops but could see it being useful here :)

@radioactivebirbchild5232 Год назад

boosting bc this sounds important

@doughboynin69 Год назад

Sounds helpful 👍

@temperanceblackthorne6152 Год назад

Know this is a very old post but your mosquito comment reminded me, when I was a kid we put a capful of Avon skin so soft in the washer with the work clothes to keep them away (the citronella oil acts as a bug repellant and fabric softener)

@MrMattDat Год назад

Dan, it is always fun watching your videos. Great "edu-tainment"! Buying the shop-vac at a thrift store was a stroke of genius!!

@jcon1000 Год назад

If you are going to continue to use the shop-vac, you should custom make a metal filter to replace the paper filter. That way you could only drop what size dirt you want to come through to take home. Amazing video as always!! You should also get a machete if you have to trailblaze a lot.

@wingnutbert9685 Год назад

Could do a mesh shroud to protect the filter, but the filter is needed to keep the air clean that is being expelled. Anything bigger than fine dust will kill the impeller and motor. :) A Dust Deputy/ separator bucket in front of the vac may do the trick you're looking for.

@gorillagoldhunters Год назад

Right on Dan! Loved the video of you sluicing the hardrock tailings. Super good knowledge

@mrdavidurquhart Год назад

Such a fascinating guy and like all that find gold or gems - very gard working. We are lucky to get to watch.

@rayholt2819 Год назад

I been meaning to check the big quartz seam that runs through my property for a while and now that you've shown me what to look for I might actually find a decent bit of gold this year

@MOTOMINING Год назад

@MrJudder413 Год назад

I'm glad you are feeling better Dan. Love the "hard rock" mining videos weather gold or jems. Great idea with the vaccume as well. Work smarter not harder. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it Dan!

@chrisbennett4144 Год назад

keep up the findings dan im pretty new to the channel but im addicted. will be watching everything you post

@cherylburkitt9722 Год назад

Very cool and fun to watch. Thanks Dan. Gidday from Australia 🦘

@OneRoundDown Год назад

Dan it looks like you have enough room to attach an extension chute to the top classifier plate with a couple small c-clamps. At least it would allow for directing the larger chunks into a collection bucket instead of dropping out around the base, I'm sure Gold Hog will address that on the consumer model per your original observation. Best of luck with your endeavors, and thanks for the videos.

@dralligood8164 Год назад

Good morning Dan. I look forward to your weekly videos. I enjoy your videos so much because they are very informative and entertaining. Best on utube, in my opinion. I’m crushing ore today to run in my brand new gold cube. Many things for the informative videos

@davidmanders7114 Год назад

DAN! Put a block of wood under your truck hitch when your using that crusher. Your putting a pile of energy into compressing the truck springs BEFORE the crusher engages

@wingnutbert9685 Год назад

!!! Might be handy to use a bucket separator in front of the vac, Dan. Since you've got buckets anyway, just need the separator lid. Might at least separate the real fine, light weight dirt. Cheap and easy to build or buy.

@carolinemcgreal2382 Год назад

Thank you for sharing.

@candyontherag8248 Год назад

@vythe1794 Год назад

The vacuum is genius!

@xxLAKOTAxx83 Год назад

Dan, when you were harvesting the piretite/quartz specimens I noticed the piretite looked an awful lot like the black sand seen in your panning videos. Does the piretite end up as black sand in the rivers?

@X3R0D3D Год назад

i think pyrite is iron/sulfur/copper mostly, so i could see it degrading to black sand which is mostly decomposed/oxidized iron, i thought?

@joshborchardt5050 Год назад

@johnstuart8511 3 месяца назад

Oh Dan: Just clearing up the pathway was tiring just watching. "That was a lot of cutting". Thank you for putting on a show and showing us around. Sure is a nice place to explore. Regards 🇿🇦.

@gnomespace Год назад

Them holes. I always thought that lateral slots rather than holes, slightly larger than the biggest free gold you expect to find, would do better. Gold and other fines fall through and those roundies just keep on rollin by.

I love your videos Dan, but holy smokes the idea of coming across a big, friendly bearded man vacuuming rocks in the middle of a forest is just so surreal I love it. Keep up the great videos. 😁

@melvinroehm821 Год назад

I love hard rock mining wish you did more at the blue chip mine.butiful place.n nice gold dan..great video

@MrDalerex Год назад

Hey Dan that mine adventure was awesome. Heck if lived up there I would definitely like to help you work it. PS I think that gold hog can use some work. I say it should be shorter and longer. Give your dirt some time to wash out. And then have it drop through two layers of sluice boxes. More like the cube but longer.

@seldoon_nemar Год назад

Dan, they make a thing called a Cyclonic separator. it's an extra bit that's made to fit onto 5 gal pails and keep heavy stuff out of the shop vac. but in this case, I think it would just automate loading your buckets! fewer trips! you just need to bring a stack of buckets up and your shop vac stays empty so you don't beat up the filter. you could do 5-10 buckets in a few hours like that I would think. the best part is they are $20 and you get to have a longer hose too Edit: You could probably make one out of some plywood and scraps you have sitting around too. just needs to fit a pail and have an in/ out port for the hose. you're working with literal rock lmao

@christhompson4270 Год назад

@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 Год назад

Dan, small latches that click closed would lend to a quick assembly of the Gold Hog. That way, the two parts of the latches are permanently attached to the Gold Hog. I've seen them made out of steel, aluminum, and brass and they are made in small sizes too. With screws and wing nuts, you are almost guaranteed to lose one, especially outside in the dirt or grass. Just a thought

@victorjubinville5720 10 месяцев назад

Dan, swap your hose to the exhaust port & use it as a blower to blow off the leaves & loose debris. Cleaner samples.
