Prospecting for Gold on the Fraser River 

Your life is one perpetual camping trip! Your wife is amazing for putting up with you, thank her every time you wake up!

The screwdriver Agate got me!! so funny. Great crew, great video , great time! thanks for taking us along! Can't wait for the next one.

the real gold is your happy lovely family. That's priceless compare to any gold or diamonds in this world

Dave's petrified tree joke was a gemstone!

I live in Thailand, I like adventures like your family, so I am very happy.

Very hard-working job but the smiles of the girls always there.

Great channel. You all are doing a great job with those girls. I haven’t heard a single gripe out of any. I love their positive attitude toward hard work and adventure. Definitely raising them right!

May your clan grow much stronger and adventurous. Love from Kashmir.

when watching your videos, extraordinary enthusiasm for life, I remember my youth on the island of Borneo as a Dayak people looking for gold in the river ...

Don't stop what you doing this is a incredible Channel letting us know where the gold is not is an awesome resource I can't believe I haven't seen this RU-vid channel before today you need to get Dan and everybody else to shout out your Channel thank you so much for doing what you do

Rose, your doing such a great job of raising Jeff and the girls! Well five outa six ain’t bad.lol 😂 awesome channel !

Awesome. Gold... I love gold. The look of it, the smell of it, the taaaste of it. But I love having fun finding it even more. And you do too!

Fantastic we are on Vancouver Island . We love the Fraser River . All the best Howie and missy

I love your videos guys, they are so entertaining. Its great the way your family does so many cool activities together.

I know this is an old vid but I just found your channel recently. You've got quite the adventurous pack of girls they make me laugh but also smile in admiration at times. They certainly seem like they have a can do attitude as long as it's not close to mealtime. It was very cool to have your family out prospecting and making memories. That's what it's all about because if it was about the money you'd of got more gold panning a bottle of goldschlager. Thanks for putting out the videos.

"if it's warm it's done" man after my own heart!

Hey guys, enjoy watching u guys ur as crazy as I [was] growin up. We moved to Alaska when I was 5 [1958] really makes me homesick plus ya make me laugh (thanks).

A suggestion for when you are rock hounding. Carry a laser pointer to check the translucency of the rocks. I've never seen a family that smiles so much. Appreciate these precious moments. Time has a way of slipping away before you realize it. Great vid.

Awesome vid, can’t wait for the next one. Living life right 👌🏻

The real gold was the parenting I saw here : D. You folks are awesome! Subscribed!

Holy smokes! I’ve never seen anyone else cook steak on a stick! That’s been my go to technique since I was a boy. My wife and I regularly make it our picnic lunch on day trips. It’s excellent.

Thanks for another great video! We've had a rough week here in NC and needed a good laugh (or two++++)

That was a fun adventure to watch,thanks for sharing

We quit the whole TV thing because there was nothing really beneficial for my daughters and I spent too much time watching the news channels. Been doing RU-vid, feeling a little better about the use of my time. Then I found you guys. Better than any TV show, by far. And you just moved up to #1 in my favorite channel list. :)

Great one guys .. luv ya army of gold findin machines .. and ya right hand man .. kinda reminds me of ol mose .. john waynes mate .. and luv all that big sky country ..fabbo in every direction 😁

God bless you and your family I love the way how you treat and teach them I like the way how you aloes make your waif so special , that is the real love thake care, thanks for sharing your video thanks from over sess people.

I gotta tell ya those girls are really impressive they never complain they just get er done. Two thumbs up

Fun video. Greetings from over the Rocky Kakwa Mountains in Northern Alberta!

love your channel. BC became a colony in 1858 because of the gold rush. Vancouver Island was the first colony out here and when gold was discovered in 1857 in the lower Fraser near Yale then Governor Douglas had to establish a colony on the mainland as well, and right away because of a fear of losing the whole region to the Americans. The two colony's amalgamated and British Columbia became a province of Canada in 1871

Jeff??? Does everyone in B. C. pan for gold? Pioneer Pauly pans for candy, Dan Hurd pans for nuggets. You and your family also are on the gold.. Awesome Video again... BTW I found your You Tube Site on Dan Hurds site... WOW! Not easy to get out of that spot!!!

That is a sun baked and oxidized fraser river rock. There are sections of the fraser where EVERY rock no matter what the underlying rock is looks metallic like that. Can I be Hogan?

amazing content your family made me smile ---subbed hi from the uk X

The screw handle made me laugh 😂😂😂

I love your daughter especially Sarah, Julia and Christina they are such amazing

It is great to spend free time in nature with family.👍😎

Those agates are nice. I am from BC too. You tumble and polish them they are beautiful.

Crucial, much respect y’all

Nice family dude you seem to know what is important in life , good for you and yours

What a beautiful family outing. You folks are blessed. Thanks for the awesome video. PS. Love your "straight man". How scared does a tree have to be to get petrified? I laughed my.... well now I can't sit down!

Julia should be a geologist...she found some really nice rocks!

Lovely family great job.

I really admire your family❤

Best family vid ever I can say..

Awesome family adventure video. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed! Your outtakes/wrap up with your straight man brother/friend/relative are hilarious. I hope Dan and Pauly can get together with you and yours some weekend for a collaboration video.

The kids are so cute, five babies .Happy family.

On the Antrim coast in Ireland I remember finding a complete ammonite fossil covered in what looked like gold. On closer inspection it was just iron pyrites or fools gold. Some of our western mountains have a lot of quartz with occasional gold deposits.

I love your videos and lifestyle. Hope to come visit someday 😄

Q maravilla familia compartiendo cosas lindas de la vida y dándole sentido

I Iive in Los Angeles I Iike adventures Iike your family, so I am very happy.

Your girls and wife are all cute as buttons. They should have their own show. You’re a lucky man.

You are my second favorite family.

Nice area and good fun

I LOVE THE VIDEO

I love this Family

i crossed the Fraser River near the Alberta line with BC in October of 1982 - in an open river boat at night with my 18 month old son (snuggled under the cabin) with Canadian friends - we stayed in the cabin a few weeks, they slaughtered a cow, I made a pumpkin pie from scratch (a squash, flour, butter) for Canadian Thanksgiving, sewed furs to make a Hobbit costume for a friend's party, and canned tomatoes.

Hello good day sir & you're family as will watching from Philippines

You guys are a hoot

Your kid's are adorable and you got a wonderful wife as well, besides all; a wonderful life, full of purity and adventures, i envy you man.

Steak kabobs yummy! Maybe yall can get enough gold to make mama a gold necklace. Togetherness was what counted. The girls all look like mama a natural beauty!! Interesting video! Papa if you want to keep up with the girls energy you might want to watch packing on that beef, and do more gold panning and nugget search with them in place of watching the icebergs go by. It's good for the heart more importantly to live a long life for them. Funny ending as always!

You are awesome ! all of you. Did you know , Simon Fraser originally called the Fraser river the Cowichan. The Cowichan people had such a strong summer presents at the mouth of the river.

Yes!!!!! Dan and Pauly!!!!

Hooray for child labor!!!!! Just kidding! Ya all are great! That water is what? 40 degrees ... Like 3 degree Celsius? I was out with my brand new sluice yesterday on the Applegate river in southern Oregon. Subbed!

Just subbed to your channel. We are down here in SC of the US of A. We do some prospecting and metal detecting. A little coin roll hunting too. Find that gold!

Whos dave lol ive been watching for a cpl of weeks now nd still dont know! Funny how they recap the scenes lol good stuff keep it up

Great life! You are raising those kids to be real people! I’m thinking that there is still hope for the human race.

I think I'm going to vacation on the fraser river next year, bring a can of gold spray paint and sit back and watch the joy that I bring to people.

happy family 😀🥰🥰

I like the youngest girl panning for gold. She does really well.

Have you thought of using a metal detector up and down the areas you are panning just to see if there are clusters of gold dust or larger nuggets? Also, you may have to get a smaller sieve to take those small pebbles out. They seem to be filling up your mat holes where the gold is supposed to go. That, along with the really strong flowing water, you may be washing some flakes past.

They 're just like machines😅

Wow nice place

Watching this video I felt cold. I made hot chocolate, but when I saw how you panning for gold in ice water, I felt cold again😎😎

I looked at how you all eat deliciously and wanted to eat too 😁😁😁

i like the lightning theory

Awesome

Thats it right there 💪💪💪💪💪💪family first

Was that mat in backwards when you pointed out the gold was not were it should have been? Just a question. I personally don't have any experience. Just thought it could have been a possibility... Enjoyed the video.

I'm no expert but to me that seems a really high volume of water movin through the highbank? Might explain at 9:50 why that gold flake wasn't tucked in a trap, it got "pressure washed" out instead... Is there a throttle or flow control you could turn down a notch or ten?

Such a fun spot for a day or so panning adventure.nice time with your families and friends.Can anyone tell me where this location is please,much appreciated,thanks.

Lovely family

LoL/ Dude, You and you're fckin AWESOME,,, Thanks for the vid brother 111.

Beautiful Canada and people, would love to track with my daughter with you guys.love from India.Enjoy your wonderful vacation.

Great family

Beutiful família 👍..💯

To get the gold to lay down in your pan Make sure you use a squirt of dishwasher liquid soap in the pan some gold will float on top of the water as u pan it

ilove this big family so very very asome and so very gridness

11:25 nice one

Hahahaja i love the screw driver

Who was holding the rifle? New subscribers, live in black bear country and never go outside without bear spray, bear horn and a gun. Great family video..
