Hunting Gold, Far, FAR from civilization.

- What an adventure hunting gold on my new gold claim in the middle of nowhere. Exploring, gold panning, prospecting and meeting new friends, that is what makes an adventure like this so memorable. Found some great gold and other minerals while gold panning the gravel bars at my "Big Bar" Placer Claim.

The Bob Ross of prospecting
perfect lol but Dan's way more exciting and entertaining lol
MY POINT IS WHEN FOOD GRAINS ARE RISING THEN METALS ALSO RISE IN PRICE BECAUSE METALS ARE ALSO CAME FROM SOIL.REFINING COST ARE ALSO INCREASING..
Met my first fellow Dan Hurd fan today. A guy selling gems at a local ‘car boot sale’ in Wales. 🤣 You’re global bro! 😃🤣
I’ve really been struggling with finding a hobby recently and your channel has ignited my inner rock nerd! I’ve collected some of the most incredible stones in previous years but never knew what to do with them. Now I’m making jewelry and selling some in bulk. Thank you so much for sharing your passion! You’ve helped my life in ways you couldn’t imagine! Just…..thank you!
yeah dan hurd has reignited my love for rocks and minerals too, unfortunately i live in denmark, a country with no bedrock and none of the conditions for neat rocks to form
Cause Dan's the man..
@@Xylophytae I live northern canada, some rivers just shine from the gold
@@Xylophytae I Feel you man... Netherlands here... sadface
Dan Hurd is awesome and his enthusiasm is truly contagious.
Thank you for these videos. I suffered a head injury in October and for some reason I find lots of different media really stressful now. Your videos give me a little peace. I love watching them and just enjoying the good vibes. Thank you for the escape sir.
I hope that you will eventually heal and feel better.
I've just stumbled across this video randomly in my recommended. Honestly this gold hunting thing seems pretty interesting, so I'm sticking around! Subscribed!
You won't be disappointed. Dan's optimism is contagious.
Yes Dan is great 👍
Same happened to me, and I've been hooked ever since. I watch several other prospectors, but Dan is my favorite! Was bummed to find out he was just a couple hours from me here in Arkansas not too long ago. Maybe one day I will have the opportunity to meet him.
Dans the man. There are a few other interesting characters to check out as well.
Dan makes good videos. He’s as awesome as it gets. He’s kind and just a great guy.
those roads down to the Fraser River at Big Bar are absolutely beyond belief INSANE! We camped at Big Bar Lake in 2010 shortly before moving to the Cariboo and the following morning continued west, planning to take the Beg Bar ferry across the Fraser. The morning was heavy overcast and it had rained most of the night, but like you, had no clue what we were in for! We started down those steep hills and switchbacks and literally couldn't keep the van from slipping on the wet clay road surface. Thankfully hubby called it before we got too far and we backed up to where we could turn around and headed back up to the top. It was slow going, the van didn't really want to go up the hill any more than it had wanted to stop when we were going the other direction. When we finally regained somewhat level ground we thanked our lucky stars and headed back out to Highway 97.
Omgosh. Just amazing. I'd forgotten how beautiful Canada can be. 🇨🇦
Thanks, Dan. May you find everything your looking for at be these new claims. ❤️🙏🥳
That landscape and the ground material around there are so wild!
Gorgeous country up there Dan. Can't wait to see more of it!
INCREDaBLE scenery!! Thanks for the experience! Good luck with your new claim!
Congratulations on the new claim! I look forward to the future videos from this location!! Stay safe Dan!!
What a great adventure. Nothing like prospecting new ground in beautiful, wild places. Really enjoyed this type of video Dan!
awesome adventure!
thanks again for bringing us all along!
👍
New claim!! Always fun exploring somewhere new with uncle Dan, hope the stone/rock show was a success the last few days!! Thanks for the content!
I love your enthusiasm. It really shines through.
Dan im so glad i found your channel. Been watching for arounf a year now because i just love the scenery and your laid back way of prospecting.
When i was about 10 i took a trip to Canada with my grandparents and we stayed at campgrounds for around a week. One place we stopped at had a beautiful river and a stoney sandbar much like this. I took a rock that i thought looked amazing, always thought it was white fossils stuck in black rock, almost like tube worms or something. Now i know its Chinese Writing Stone.
Both my grandparents have passed and i forgot all about that rock until i saw you find some. I immediately jumped up and went to find it. 23 years later and you brought back a flood of memories from that trip.
Thank you so much! Love the content and you'll always have a fan and viewer!! Much love from Maine!!
Brilliant day Dan, love your enthusiasm exploring your new claim! Cannot wait to see the other side and what you find. I hope it’s amazing! Take care and be safe. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
I love your enthusiasm Dan, it puts a smile on my face to watch you explore. Those writing stones are cool!
whilst finding gold is interesting, I really like seeing the different rocks. I am so jealous I'd love to have some of those beautiful rocks 🪨 ❤💚💙
He has a ton of gem stone vids
He also sells them.
He sells them

Great Video !!! Good Luck with your new claim. Looking forward to seeing you cross the river. So exciting. Thanks for sharing Dan. The best health and happiness to you and your family!
Wow! The scenery is amazing in this one Dan, Awesome shooting!
Thanks again Dan. Your videos are so nicely done & so informative! I love your gold panning videos best, but the rock hunting ones are great as well. Love your enthusiasm!
at the 2 minute mark... the stratification.... it gets my heart pumping every time
What beautiful adventures you have
The landscape is so beautiful, and what a bonus of the rock finds!. Love you sharing all this with us. Happy Easter and GBU.
MY POINT IS WHEN FOOD GRAINS ARE RISING THEN METALS ALSO RISE IN PRICE BECAUSE METALS ARE ALSO CAME FROM SOIL.REFINING COST ARE ALSO INCREASING..
I SO look forward to these vicarious adventures with you Dan! The geology around you is simply breathtaking...along with that stupendous scenery!! Been finding things here in Texas where I've moved to, and as soon as I'm a bit more established...I'll be sharing a few adventures as well! Until the next video...Peace!
Nice video Dan. I like seeing new spots and new rocks. Vicarious discovery is great.
Awesome adventure I look forward to future finds!
Beautiful definitely different scenery. Looking forward to more.
Awesome adventures! I enjoy watching them.
WOW!! The rocks alone would have me coming back and the gold is just icing on the cake. Way to go Dan keep the adventures coming!!!!
*Absolutely gorgeous,marvellous and stunning, Dan Hurd 👌👌🙌👏🏻*
Beautiful country Dan. Those rocks deffinatly look interesting
Awesome can’t wait to see what comes from the rest of you trip
Beautiful area. Love discovering and exploring new country. Never been good at prospecting but still have fun
Wow I love the Chinese Writing Stones! Beautiful! Great video, Dan! I can't wait to see what you find on the other side!
Thanks Dan for a great Easter morning adventure for this East Texas. 👍🏻 🤠
Amazing videos Mr. Hurd, I really enjoy them. Thank you :)
It looks like you're having so much fun!
Always amazed at the beauty of the stones you come across.
I watched the news last night and was surprised to see you on there. They missed a great opportunity to interview you about geology.
I love your positive outlook in every video and I also learn something new!
I enjoyed this video. Listening to your thought processes on what areas might be good, or bad, and why. The drone footage is amazing. This claim appears to have some potential.
Need to see more of this claim, it looks awesome!!
Nice!! Gold, rocks and everything there. All in one place.
Really enjoyed this Frazer explore Thank you Dan
Those mountains are beautiful! Such a cool spot
I love those Japanese rocks you found . Very informative and very helpful
Cool new claim Dan, super excited to see what you find.
Thanks for sharing Dan, that was a lot of fun buddy!
Love your channel Dan, great stuff as always 💎
Ive been down that road to Big Bar several times! beautiful country one of my fav drives in BC. Great video Dan, thank you!
Thank you Dan for another great video 👍. Happy Easter. 😁
Happy Easter to all. I just got my Dan Hurd paydirt yesterday and I'm excited to pan it! I can see a few pickers in the bag.
I love your energy, u give me positive vibes. Thank you for your effort to making vids.
God bless!!
The new claim looks like it had all kinds of potential, those Chinese writing stones are awesome. I had some pretty good luck this weekend myself, found some decent gold and even found a really nice quartz crystal about 3”-4” long and about as thick as my thumb. Always love finding new treasures. Lol
Where do you live ?
American stones are less racist than Chinese stones.
free the uighars!
@@zaizoesclashing7103 next to his neighbours
@@SBANDOOOO566 lol I don't suppose you're looking for a partner? I need to find someone with general knowledge who is willing to teach. I use to live in BC, I'm in Saskatchewan now but plan to go do some exploring in BC this year. But I am very novice in the field of gold prospecting, I like the thought of the adventure and the wilderness, it's not about getting rich, but more about learning and making memories. But I do plan to find some major gold 😆 said every prospector ever before going broke
@@zaizoesclashing7103 I’m in Australia mate
Good luck with the new claim! 🍻👍
New claims and new fun. Way to go Dan. That is some pretty county you have there
we love watching you explore new claims too!
Been watching and learning the whole weekend
You may have earned my sub
Thx I love nature and you show it in an interesting way
Nicely done and good luck on your claim
DAN HURD LOOKS LIKE HES TRESPASSING CLAIM JUMPR MUCH???
love living vicariously through these vids
Awesome info on sluice mistakes, and the results of such mistakes
About the same time you aquired your "Owie", I Super Glued three of my fingers together!!
Absoulute beautiful scenery.
What a unique dude. Stay awesome Dan.
Dan, Love your videos. I'm heading to Alaska thru BC and The Yukon In July for 2 months Prospecting and riding my motorcycle. Relaxing and having fun.
Awesome thank you for sharing. It is also good to see you look like you are doing good health wise. Have fun. 😉😊
Hope it pays big Dan👍 And thanks for all you teach us.
Looking forward to seeing what you find on the other side!!🙏😌
Wow, that part of Canada looks so RAW. Beautiful!
Made me smile again Dan thanks
I was going to try silly sarcasm, but couldn't phrase it right. I dig your enthusiasm for being out there and finding what you find, even when little.
What a amazing location Dan
Great adventure
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. God bless, take care and thank you for sharing 👍👏❤️🙏
What beautiful scenery, even if you find nothing, what a day!!
great video. I was looking at those claims and others in the area but as you say it's a long ways away. Now I can see your results before I commit to having to go.
So excited to watch!!!
High banker buddy!!!! Looks perfect
This was a good one! This is what I find myself doing a lot walking, searching and panning. Not had much results recently hence the lack of video uploads. PS, that looks very much like our Scottish Jasper nice red and blues we find on the coasts.
Hey Dan, you’re in our neck of the woods. Just acquired a claim this past fall not too far from your claim, but in the Churn creek area near the Gangland Ranch bridge. Beautiful country, isn’t it? Never thought brown, burnt country could be so beautiful, either. What I found amazing was the gold on the river bank on our claim. Nothing great in size, but the quantity of fine stuff. Simply throw a stone and where it lands, dig; you’ll find gold. Also found lots of Chinese writing stones, some Jasper and Jade/Serpentine on the beach. When I was there in the Fall I thought of you and how much you would love it in that area considering the stones I was finding. There’s another one I don’t know anything about. It’s all over but looks like a rock with a permanent oil sheen to it. Maybe you’ll know what it is when you come across it. Don’t think it has any value to it, just interesting. Maybe we’ll run into each other one day. Have fun with your new claim!
What a beautiful area to explore. Good luck the next 2 days there. ⛏
Beautiful area! Good video! 😎👍🍀
Ive always loved that part of the province, so much history.
The scenery is really the true nugget in this one. Looks absolutely stunning! Good luck with your new claim my man. Until next time. Cheers 🍻😁
If you ever get the chance, Washington state and BC are just beautiful. Rainier's national park is particularly spectacular.
I hope you take a gps locator beacon with you to these outback places! Love your videos and hard work teaching us prospecting!!😁
Wowza, great adventure !
Dan Hurd, my goto Sunday morning entertainment.
that first view, truly amazing.
My family used to live in that area years ago in a town called Clinton. Nice to see the old area in one of your videos, Dan.
I'm really loving the Chinese Writing Rock :D One of my favorites!
nice gold thank you for sharing the adventure
I wish I could subscribe over and over, never disappointed! Thank you and keep it up!
It is my dream to be able to do this one day. My son and i love your videos and doing this as a family would be amazing. Thank you for the awesome content. we are always looking forward to more.
Love your videos man great stuff
very good video, nice nature view, great explaination and real thing... I'm from Québec where there a lot of lake, small creek and river but I love BC for the big nature god giving land!
Love your videos thanks Dan. I'm in Aotearoa /New Zealand and would love it you had a map of BC that zoomed into where you are as I have no idea! Also when are you coming to NZ to go prospecting??🤔😊
Hi Dan. Funny, when you showed us how far up you were on the Fraser I said that looks like Big Bar area. I ran the ferry and cable car for a winter and summer. You could just take the cable car across. I spent a couple hours after shift right at the ferry landing panning. Like all over it is very fine and would take a long time to make an ounce. It gets into the high 40's Celsius in the summer there. Have fun Dan. Love your vids
I really enjoy watching your videos and seeing all your adventures and beautiful places that you go to.I love all kinds of rocks and gemstones,my grandaugters call me a rock nut cause I like them so much.So I just love to watch you on your adventures finding gold and rocks of all kinds.Its just amazing
Awesome claim loved the rocks.
