One of my Autistic babie's is Non - Verbal if you could only see his little face, his eyes say what word's can not!!!!!!! He absolutely loves this episode. Mr. Skippy , you have brought such joy to a little boy with your presence. One of the most amazing episodes ever!
I have learned more about fossils and rocks and minerals from all your videos then I did from books and boyscouts. Thank you for taking the time to show us all the amazing finds, but also the grind to get to them.
MAN! That energy! I love that dude, hes your perfect side kick! I understand that passion. I collect quartz crystals in PA, unlike anything else Ive ever done.
Dan Hurd and Tim "Skippy The Fossil Freak" Miller = two of my favorite people whom I have never met, yet admire like brothers. To have both of you in one video is overwhelming to the senses as your combined enthusiasm for geologic discovery and uncovering your own natural treasures is incredibly infectious! Thank you for sharing this and especially for being the fascinating people you both are!
I’m so EXCITED! When you collaborated with Skippy last time it was one of my favorite videos that you have ever shared with us! Thank you for making yet another “gem” of an episode! It is truly “golden”! 😉🙃
Great fun video guys - thanks for that! Skippy you are just missing the fishing net to complete Graham's tool kit! You much-extended his pike pole though. We did the rope thing there many years ago with fun and success, but watching you two collect was very pleasurable!
You brought back memories of my youth, when we used to go fossil hunting in Colorado. The washes East of Colorado Springs were a great place to find trilibites, nautiloids and more. I had a pretty good collection as a kid. Eventually The lot was donated to the Denver Museum of Natural History (as it was known then).
I wasn't aware the island was such a fossil field! Fascination and fun!❤Is special permission required on sites like this? Tough to do here in California. Everything is staked out and I try to be mindful of claims, gold or otherwise...
As always another good video and Skippy he's pretty cool he's a fossil freak language that I've never heard before words I never heard before but it's very interesting and watching those he's so intriguing to see something that was around prehistoric era and now it's in your hands love the video and I will be checking out his website he looks like a pretty cool dude thank you see you on the next one
Omg... Skippy reminds me of my old friend Pete! Pete was this eclectic, burnt-out ol' hash, story-teller, mystic shaman.. Just a man of many different flavors! I love seeing that energy still alive in others! Enjoy the time you have with people like this! Its truly an incredible time!
Would have been nice to meet tim when I was working up in comox. Great find Dan! It's definitely better than clam and mussel fossils. I did have a fun time in that area. Love the rivers on the island ! I'm disappointed that there were no sightings of a gold polysorus-rex snipping the river!
You and Zippy catching up, very cool! (Have to admit would love to see you, Zippy and Paully do and episode, the humor would be falling off the wall). Nice hat Zippy.
Watch it ! Avalanche wowser ! This is so much fun. Fossils... love them... Dinosaur Fossils LOVE THEM !!! Great show today ! Peace to you Dan and Skippy ! Stay well, stay safe and may you both and your families be prosperous. Take Care...
Dan my dad passed today he loved your videos and I did to and he got a gold pan for me on my 14 birthday and we never got to use them but he this tiny little glass bottle of he's first bits of gold and you made he so happy thank you Dan thank you
Great stuff..Skippy seems like a fun dude..My Xmas paydirt bag just made its way to NY and I can’t wait to dig in 😝..but I must wait till Christmas says the wife😢...anyhow thank you for all the hard work and great content..
Dan, laying here in kidney stone pain. Your videos are the only thing getting me through the next minute of life. Thank you! You are an amazing human being.
Good morning, I am following Nick Zentner already for years. It is nice to see the region his latest series is about the last few episodes , from an other perspective. I also follow your channel a while already. You live both in a very interesting part of the world with a very “violent” geologic history. Best regards from NL.
Suggestion: Get Dan Hurd to Host " Ghost Trails and Ghost Towns" (Part 2)... feat Mike Roberts (RIP Bill Barlee)... that would be super cool to see you talk about BC historical past with Mike Roberts. I use to love that old show and you could do a revival!!!
Did er' man, ordered 2 pans and a snuff bottle for my son and I this summer. These vids wore me down, If I can find a flake, a crumb, I'll be over the moon. Wish me luck.
I have a nightgown that matches Tim/Skippy/Satan’s Santa’s t-shirt. Love that design! Reminds me of when I was young way back in the day. Happy hunting guys!
Very nice topic and video.....Thanks for sharing What would happen to the specimens if you dissolve the rocks in solution? Really liked the energy from both you and Skippy
Wish you were closer, I have a 20' stick hook. Made for tree work - pulling limbs so they are out of the way to cut. Had tree work done and the company left it on a phone wire and promptly went to another state for a ice storm, leaving some trees in trouble. Trees in hot high voltage wires.
I remember you saying one time that rocks paid more than gold mining. I see Jason up there deep in the hills by himself in these ugly little old caves going after a few hundred dollars or so of gold. You go out have a good time with a friend find a few rocks and potentially thousands of dollars. I love it you guys keep up the great videos I will watch until the end…. Thank you..😊
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Back in 1979 I was sitting on a big sandstone rock in Jordan, Mt. hunting deer when I realized that I was sitting on a fossil bone that turned out to be the jaw of a T-Rex, which I still possess.
Your awesome! I was writing a light novel and was so close to added a side character with your personality and style but I’d prefer not to get sued :). Keep up the amazing videos!!!!
Right now I am sitting next to a rib bone, tooth, egg, coprolite and skin/scales that came from the same river. Oh and an absolute smattering of bivalve and ammonite shells.
Take a closer look at the one you split open at 11:40, there might be a piece of bone I saw in it. I have a similar locality here in Oklahoma where we find similar concretions, but MUCH older...about 293 million years old. The concretions are thought to have formed on the edge of the photic zone. Sometimes those concretions are formed around shark and other marine vertebrate excrement.
Yes just up the hwy from me. Love from Nanaimo BC. We also have some good hidden gems. Agates fossils gold and well coal and some rare amber of you know where to look.
Hello Mr. Hurd, not too sure if this will get to you; but I am an international student in Australia and I love your videos, but I also love watching these videos of Ausie's finding huge nuggets like 50+ ounces easy and like some really huge ones including "welcome stranger" the biggest of them all at 97.14 kilograms!! I was wondering if maybe you could do a video over in Australia, maybe you will find a huge nugget with your detector and you will probably get enough views just from coming to Australia to cover the flights??
I think you should book trips with subscribers or general public on adventures like this. Charge a good price to be involved in the episodes nothing crazy but 2,3,4 hundred dollars to get involved on something you will never forget
Hi Dan, I think this is my first comment on your channel. I love this video, its full of fun and adventure and I follow skippy too. I love the creativity you put into your videos. Keep up the good work and I'll be checking out your website this weekend, do you ship to the UK?
You should take Skippy to the Ocean picture stone I have a sneaking suspicion it would blow his mind. And maybe Pinkerton IDK but I can't hardly wait for the video. Happy Holidays be safe and As always good luck and God Bless.

@summerrainsong7506
I'm pretty sure Skippy has a channel, perhaps a visit would help your little one
@@TalRohan his channel is @skippythefossilfreak
That's awesome, may God bless him..
Always fun to watch Dan and all his awesome friends.
Dan is a wholesome man, the kind of man i find so sympathic i hope he finds more interesting stuff and all the Gold he wants
Skippy is a neat personality. I love people like that. they are the Corn in the Poop of life, they add color and texture

I am the biggest rock and fossil nerd. I always have a pocket full when I get back home. Best part of living in the beach!
I love eccentric people! They make life worth living. Great video dan!
Great fun video guys - thanks for that! Skippy you are just missing the fishing net to complete Graham's tool kit! You much-extended his pike pole though. We did the rope thing there many years ago with fun and success, but watching you two collect was very pleasurable!

Another incredible video, Dan! Glad to see your channel growing exponentially!
I wasn't aware the island was such a fossil field! Fascination and fun!❤Is special permission required on sites like this? Tough to do here in California. Everything is staked out and I try to be mindful of claims, gold or otherwise...
I love watching you find those treasures! I look forward to every showing !!!
1:30
Santa, Satan.. it's the same guy!
- Detroit Rock City -
The variety of things you look for is amazing.
The hat makes him look like a character out of Waterworld
As always another good video and Skippy he's pretty cool he's a fossil freak language that I've never heard before words I never heard before but it's very interesting and watching those he's so intriguing to see something that was around prehistoric era and now it's in your hands love the video and I will be checking out his website he looks like a pretty cool dude thank you see you on the next one
First time seeing Skippy and he just seems so down to earth and cool. Great video
This looks like so much fun! I've loved rocks and fossils since I was a kid and your channel is a way for me to see the possibilities.
dan you are awesome, I'm 60 years old and hope when I grow up that I know as much about rocks as you do.
Omg... Skippy reminds me of my old friend Pete! Pete was this eclectic, burnt-out ol' hash, story-teller, mystic shaman.. Just a man of many different flavors! I love seeing that energy still alive in others! Enjoy the time you have with people like this! Its truly an incredible time!
If Marty Feldman ever had a long-lost twin, Tim would be it! Great rock-hounding, love the video!
Would have been nice to meet tim when I was working up in comox. Great find Dan! It's definitely better than clam and mussel fossils. I did have a fun time in that area. Love the rivers on the island ! I'm disappointed that there were no sightings of a gold polysorus-rex snipping the river!
Stands at bottom hill trying to make an avalanche of rock come down the hill lol. What could go wrong lol. Makes me laugh!
You and Zippy catching up, very cool!
(Have to admit would love to see you, Zippy and Paully do and episode, the humor would be falling off the wall).
Nice hat Zippy.
Lots of love for both you and Mr skippy !! 🖤🙏🏻 thanks for teaching us while taking us along on great hounding adventures
Watch it ! Avalanche wowser ! This is so much fun. Fossils... love them... Dinosaur Fossils LOVE THEM !!! Great show today ! Peace to you Dan and Skippy ! Stay well, stay safe and may you both and your families be prosperous. Take Care...
Take Pauly sometime. That way you can say, “Pauly found a poly!”
Dan my dad passed today he loved your videos and I did to and he got a gold pan for me on my 14 birthday and we never got to use them but he this tiny little glass bottle of he's first bits of gold and you made he so happy thank you Dan thank you

The fossil guy must be fun to hang out with . I’m a rockhound so I get it
The adventures of Dandalf and Radagast
Dan, laying here in kidney stone pain. Your videos are the only thing getting me through the next minute of life. Thank you! You are an amazing human being.
Hey Dan....one verteBRA, two verteBRAE! I cant stop the biology teacher in me!
Is it me or does Skippy look like Igor from Gene Wilders Young Frankenstein? Lol
Dan this has to be one of my favourite videos please do more with Skippy 😂😂😂😂
Got damn Dan, you are getting close to that 1 mil! :) Well deserved for the great content.
Good morning, I am following Nick Zentner already for years. It is nice to see the region his latest series is about the last few episodes , from an other perspective.

Another Nick Zentner and Dan Hurd follower here. I kept thinking "Nanaimo group" throughout this video!
@@thatsmessedup yes, it was the first it came to my mind when he said Vancouver island. Have a nice day from NL
Always great content from Dan
The water is super low. I lived on the island for 8 years We used to Rappel Skutz falls. I would totally rappel those cliffs 🤣👍
Love the fossils you and Skippy find!!! He is definatly a character I would like running into out in the wilds.
Watching this again as my kiddo's love seeing you both!
Dan you might be a lot better to try using stone masons hammers rather than that large heavy lump hammer. love the videos :)
Skippy had a great time in the 70s
You just have WAY too much fun.
Love these episodes. Great knowledge from Skippy. ❤
Love the adventure, really enjoyed it!
I like Skippy ! He reminds of a combination of Joe Walsh and The leader of the " Rouges" from the Warriors !
We love this guy!!!
Thanks for bringing us along for this adventure!
What do they put in the water up there...?
Between ol Skippy and Buckin Billy ...?
They got enough energy to power Latvia !
Great day with my buddy Skippy finding candy canes!! Thanks Dan for showcasing a freaky fossil hunt
skippy is absolut crazy but i absolu love him such a funny guy
Me being another rather excentric person, Mr. Skippy inspires me to me as confident as he is. Great video, and Dan you are awesome as always.
Just love your channel and your ever so happy charm.

Hope you enjoy!
My kiddo was born in Comox BC! We love the comox valley! Amazing finds boys 🎉 YAY! congratulations 🎊
Very nice topic and video.....Thanks for sharing
What would happen to the specimens if you dissolve the rocks in solution?
Really liked the energy from both you and Skippy
Legendary!! Awesome video, Dan.
Skippy is a local Freaky Legend here in the Comox valley really cool you came for an adventure Dan an did a video thanx for sharing ✌😎
The Beard of Knowledge ! The Rock Master 🪨 of Maple 🍁 Town !
Wish you were closer, I have a 20' stick hook. Made for tree work - pulling limbs so they are out of the way to cut. Had tree work done and the company left it on a phone wire and promptly went to another state for a ice storm, leaving some trees in trouble. Trees in hot high voltage wires.

Clam Hurd!
Dan Hurd should make educational videos for the school system... Fun way to learn.
You two are in my heaven.
awesome find Dan
Wow, Skippy is such an interesting and charismatic guy. What a duo you two are
This guy is rad! I wanna go fossil hunting!!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Back in 1979 I was sitting on a big sandstone rock in Jordan, Mt. hunting deer when I realized that I was sitting on a fossil bone that turned out to be the jaw of a T-Rex, which I still possess.
Loved watching this! It is so beautiful and a lot of fun seeing what you found.
Glad you enjoyed!
Your awesome! I was writing a light novel and was so close to added a side character with your personality and style but I’d prefer not to get sued :). Keep up the amazing videos!!!!
Right now I am sitting next to a rib bone, tooth, egg, coprolite and skin/scales that came from the same river. Oh and an absolute smattering of bivalve and ammonite shells.
Skippy is the man

I love the fossil freak! How you doin man! 😀
Strange way to pan for treasure, but I'm definitely interested!
Wasnt sure at first but I’m in. You’re fun to watch. This was great.
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. Still have the lizard.

Him explaining pyrites to Dan is hilarious. Great video Dan and great guest.
Hi Dan, I think this is my first comment on your channel. I love this video, its full of fun and adventure and I follow skippy too. I love the creativity you put into your videos. Keep up the good work and I'll be checking out your website this weekend, do you ship to the UK?

Super Dane 👍👍😁 Karel
I loved his energy, I'm going to be checking out his Channel! Hope to see Skippy around on your Channel again as well though!
Love this man 😂😈🦾
This was a fun 1 day thanks for sharing 👍🏼🤘🏼.
Very cool! That's a great ammonite! I've always wanted to find one but haven't dedicated enough time to it.
