  • Finishing off the machine operation at the Dream Claim. How many gold nuggets did we dig up? How many are still left in the paydirt. How many can we find just running the Bobcat to clean up the site. Let's find out!

      ​@@Danhurd HELP!!!!! I live in an 1850s California Gold Rush Historical town, I've been finding TONS of nuggets that are rining up 91 of my friends detectors and a 58 gram nugget was tested AS PLATINUM....
      But when I show people my 8.5 ounce nugget...NO ONE WILL TOUCH IT.
      Can I send you some nuggets and you can tell me if it's what ALL MY NEIGHBORS think it is?
      If it is what it appears to be, I'll go back out and add to my 14 ounces.
      (I found these with my eyes, while regular everyday rock hounding)
      (I'd be OK sending them to Jason if keeping them in the states would matters)

    I've been a lurker for a couple years (sub'd, love your videos), and this is the one moment I've ever had of 'Dan you're neglecting safety' - never run heavy equipment alone in a remote area, Gas issues aside, you should always have a second person to a) make sure you're not about to have a bad time if something goes sideways, and b) call out for help if plan a goes sideways. I imagine you've family checking in daily, but 'stay safe' beats 'have fun'. You usually emphasize that, and I

    Bears like fuel jugs for some reason. I used to work in the bush and leave chain saw gas and oil and they would chew them up all the time. And sometimes porcupines would lick and chew on them too. So i brought a chunk of salt rock for cattle out there and the porcupines like them. But most definitely your holes are from a bear. Guaranteed

      Do you think the bears might think the red color are a giant pile of red berries? Also, if Dan was finger munching on some human food on his way to his claim in his truck, then handled the gas can, the bear would smell it.

      Bears love chainsaw bar oil, not fans of gas but will suck an oil jug empty.

      To many people have left to much food out in the woods wrapped in plastic. The bears are smart enough to have associated plastic with food. Oil actually can be food. Wouldn't recommend drinking motor oil though as it might contain toxins lol, poor bears... but it is often composed of hydrocarbon energy containing molecules.

    Hello, Dan ! Huge fan of yours.
    Can i give you an advice ?
    If i were you.
    I would fill up the bucket.
    And put it high above the machine, then with a shovel i would just pushing down to the machine from the bucket small amounts move the rocks and push them down to the end and process it much faster. When its left less then half i would dump it until i fill another bucket and repeat. I think that way you will process much more in less time.
    You can try it for a hour or two and check for yourself.
    Loving your videos!

    You can run, say 20% gasoline 80% diesel in gas motor no big problem. (just don't run gas in a diesel engine)
    Just check motor oil a few times and be prepared to change oil after a day of use as diesel will slowly go past piston rings and dilute, increase crankcase oil level. Just a way to get through the day in a pinch.

It was a bear, probably a young one, who thought he had found a fun new toy - undoubtedly just until he got his first taste of gasoline!
