    I love this, Dan!! You have just demonstrated the TRUTH behind prospecting. It is NEVER guaranteed that you found anything, much less gold or precious gemstones. So, I appreciate it when you show this type of video. You're a genuine person and prospector. You are a loyal, trustworthy, and intelligent person! Don't ever change. That is LIFE, unfortunately. Blessings from Alabama ❤️

    I enjoy watching you searching for the gold. Yes it’s great when you find it. But it’s also good that you show the hard truth that you don’t find it everywhere and all the time. Unlike some of the channels you show the truth of prospecting.

    It was a big ask giving yourself an hr to find a picker. I'm sure mother nature has a sixth sense and knows when it's 'just a quick pan' so she gives a little to keep you searching. Great video to show how much the prospector is not in control. Love your work Dan, keep them coming.

    This video shows reality. I think that often people are so used to seeing gold that IS found on YT channels...that they are fooled into believing it's easy and you can find it all the time. The reality is that sometimes you put all the effort in...and have very little success. Great video. It might not glitter ...but the real content is still gold.

    Love the sound of the river and the awesome geology of these rocks. Cleaning out the crevices and scraping soil off the vertical rock plates, while preserving the moss, was fascinating to watch.

    @roamingchemist2514 Před 21 dnem

    In the first few minutes, it looked like you were going to pan your camera. Should have left it in the pan, it would have been the most valuable thing in there! Anyway, your good humor even in the face of disappointment makes the videos worthwhile. Don't delete these - it's important to let people know that not every day prospecting brings pans full of gold. I don't really watch these for the gold, it is the adventure and the beautiful BC scenery (and the trains).
