Dan, this Michael-Idaho-USA. I’ll be here tomorrow morning. The nursing staff start waking me 0530 so l hope to be on time. I do start my rehab chores early in the morning hours. Then my instruction classes start at 1015 runs until 1100. Then I hour of O.T. Then my happy lunch. Could be any thing. Breakfast in my past has been just cereal, now no sugar, scrambled egg double portion, sausage, two links or two Pattie’s, or one long bacon. Maybe a biscuit two types of juice, an the best part 8 oz. cup of green tea, plain! That is my gold for today!
Great video Dan, this turned out great. Thanks for coming out for the 2 days and checking out the operation. Hope to have you back in the future for some more videos.
So glad to see your success Dan and crew! To watch you go from teacher/part time prospector, to a RU-vid sensation that successfully mines has been great to watch!
Not going too much detail but 2012 I was a senior in high school made poor choices and tragedy struck the family. I fell into massive depression and an opiate addiction, anyways I’m 8 years clean never looked back and during covid I came across your videos! I now go out with my dog and friends and explore the beautiful land we have chasing that gold river rock! Thank you for all you do and you never know who you might inspire :) you gave me another amazing reason to continue. Bless you!
@hunterhomer12 Fantastic about your 8years Clean!!

Proud of you, a little hint to help your body -- get on a good multi vitamin. Has done wonders for me, Don't know about opioids, for alcoholics it is year 7 when they break You have made it past that . BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.... help others if you can Keep up the hunt, who knows you might be the next Tyler Hugs Butch
Dan... Can't begin to explain how much I enjoy your videos ! Being somewhat handicapped, it would be virtually impossible for me to get to many of the incredibly beautiful destinations that you "take" me to prospect along with you ! Absolutely love the way that you share your knowledge of all the years that you've seeking the gold flashes in the pan !!! Thank you !
Dan, these extra video's with Tyler and Andy and Jason do a lot to add to your channel. I'm an engineer and love to see the whole operation from claiming, prospecting and full scale mining. I'm also a tree huger from way back so I enjoy the scenery as much as seeing the shiny
Being out in the wilderness is what draws me to wanna go prospecting one when I get enough money to get all the equipment to do so that’s the dream for me.😊🎉
Thank you Dan for sharing Tyler's incredible operation this morning! I can barely wait to see part 2 tomorrow morning. I guess I can say that I'm sitting on pins and needles, er, um, gold nuggets and pickers! You are awesome for doing this with all of us who love you!
That was an epic gold find in Tyler's sluice. WOW! Dan, a tip for you. Use a stout pole when walking in mud because the stick acts as a *third leg* I cut a 2.5 metre walking pole out of a length of tough quarter-sawn oak, the bottom of the pole slightly wider for stability. So whenever faced with a large puddle on a narrow path, I dip it in the puddle and I get to walk through without doing a might pratfall. Mine has a notch hole about 30cm from the top for my thumb, and I whittled the top being to a nice comfy Y. 15 years old, my 'third leg' has served me well. 😊
Thank You for making and uploading this kind of videos. It is entertaining and educational to look at the process of gold digging and the industry behind it. Hope you make lots more for many years to come.
Thank you Dan!! Thank you Tyler!! Awesome Gold, ~ and Im Very impressed by the Wonderful Ecological sound Replanting of the Trees, This is how mines ought to behave,,, ~Always tidying up after mining the land, reusing the water as much as possible... Thank you Both , for a Great Video!! Andrea and Critters. ...XxX...
Very awesome Dan and family thanks for the awesome content. Love seeing them nuggets and pickers! Woohoo!!! Thanks Tyler for letting us see your amazing operation.
Hey Dan. I suggest doing a pan from his tailings to see how much is being washed out. Those riffles in the mats look all bumped up in places. The gold is bring washed over to the side. If it's not laying flat, the riffles fill up in those spots and can't hold any more. Would be interesting to find out.
I love my Goldhog mats. I had them for 8 years and the only wear was on the gorilla tape on the edges. I change them every 2 years. I used the same mats in a highbanker situation and ran 3700 GPH, they love fast water!
I’ve been loving the videos from this site, I’ve never seen a more industrialized set up like this. The fans that always wanna see gold every single video should be happy for a while now 😂
Fine Mining Video and very pleasant visit along with Mr. Dan Hurd to a placer gold Mine in Canada, and if you're not from Canada. That's Canada! Minus the Dear Flies, torrential cold spells and deep snow. God Bless Canada !
This is the exact scale of operation I would love to own some day. I've got a sluice box and some pans and about 4 grams of gold, but hey, some day I'll get there! Great video Dan! :)
Hey Ken Tyler here. Thank you for watching. I will hopefully be on one of Dan's claims up in the cariboo next year to start some exploration to see if we can make a profitable mine there also.
So you can bet I'm going to be checking it was awesome I love seeing gold it's my favorite color yellow Dan you're awesome Tyler you're awesome makes you wish you found it before Tyler did but it's a lot of work I bet you he works real hard but he's also really happy he didn't look sad so I'm going to see you tomorrow awesome video thank you😝😝😝😝😇😇😍😍🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺🥂🍦🍰⛏️
Thank you for sharing this one! Wow🙀 I’m just in shock at all that gold. I might have dreams about this one hahah I never dream about other peoples videos but this may change that. Thanks Dan 🤘
I am so envious seeing this. A couple of years ago I was trying to raise some money to buy Jim Gibson's South Fork placer mine near Likely, BC, but nobody was interested but they were prepared to put millions into hard rock underground gold mining in Australia. Of course, Trudeau's policies with Covid didn't help matters and even now I couldn't get into Canada because of the government Covid regulations. A great shame because I have some ideas for a location where I think there may be serious gold deposits which I think are largely unexplored. I shall probably never know because I am getting too old now, so I shall have to content myself with armchair prospecting with your videos. Looking forward to seeing part 2 of this video.
Hey James Tyler here. I am very familiar with the likely, very beautiful area. Both Dan and I will be close to that area next year with some equipment doing exploration. A lot of gold has been pulled out of that area!!!!
I love large scale mining operations. Especially seeing all the details and operations close up and learning how things work! I love learning about cool stuff like this. Keep it coming Dan! 🎉❤
Dan with the ultimate Rooster Tease.... Gets me all excited and he pulls out (the tape) at the end... All I wanted was that Gold(en) shower at the end 😉🤣 Can't wait for tomorrow!
