Gold Treasure Map! Can we follow the clues to the GOLD?
Historic Documents point towards some significant gold at Cerro Gordo. After doing some research and finding some clues, Jason, Brent and I set off to see if we can find any evidence of the MASSIVE amount of gold they supposedly found back in the day at Cerro Gordo.

This episode is a textbook example of the Dan Hurd / MBMM / GTL KZread phenomenon. No matter what the topic ultimately is, every single one of these shows are textbook examples of how to do interesting, dynamic content.

Yeah but Dan's channel seems like he's still connected to his viewers. Brent however is entirely focused on turning CG into a profit machine.

@@MickH60 how is it rubbish when you literally just said what I did in a different way? Don't get it twisted, I love both groups. There is something to be said about someone who is business oriented, and something different to be said about being people oriented.
5:33 I did an extensive search through various catalogues and research papers related to mining activity and was able to positively identify your find as an iron ring.
Dan's infectious enthusiasm captivates, always positive vibes.
Thanks for the awesome vids Dan, Jason and Brent! Guess I’ll be doing nothing but watching KZread this morning. 😂 👍🏻 from southern Ontario

Missing those Sunday Live's but love seeing a Hurd video pop up in my feed anytime though, Cheers brother!!!!
YAY a new Dan Hurd video
Bummer really wanted u to find some gold. Brent seems like a super nice guy,ghost town living is a very cool channel
This video has the best trio of prospectors and miners on KZread! What a collab!
I love that you guys did a video together. I have been watching Cerro Gordo since he first brought the property some years back!
Still with you Dan
Hey Dan! I doubt you'll read this, but that's ok. Every time i watch your videos, I'm reminded of an old PBS style show called Gold Fever. It was one of mine and my dad's favorite shows to watch together. He died a little over 5 years ago now and i really think would have enjoyed your channel ❤
That intro was absolutely GOLD! I was cracking up watching their faces. 😂
Finished their video yesterday from checking out the rusty areas for gold... lots of fun... you waiting at the elevator cracked me up
I can't believe you guys didn't find any gold. With the history of there being gold at this mine I would have thought you would have found a few pieces
Brent looks so stoked to have you guys there.👍
I really enjoy you three doing collaborations together. Hope yall can do it more often, I follow all three of you and am never disappointed!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Cheers Dan hope you have a great new year.
Hey Dan, Well Drat ! I fully expected to see gold in your pan. The history of gold prospecting is loaded with lots more disappointment than joy, but the hunt is often amazing story. Your videos back the fact. Still fun to join you. Take Care
Thanks Dan & Fam!
Always fun seeing different view points of the same event. Both channels rock!
Dan, Jason and Brent! This already is gold!
🎄 Merry Christmas, Dan and family! 🎄❤️
I have watched all three versions of this little adventure, Brent’s, Jason’s and now Dan’s!
+Geology lesson today was priceless thank you Dan Jason And Brent
With as many miners as were at CG back in the day, I would be surprized to find any laying around. The bewdrock was disappointing though- I figured you'd get you some.
This has been an excellent video with great content thank you for sharing this with us six stars
Good morning from Copperhill Tn.
Merry Christmas to all. You three make magic together. What a Christmas treat!
"Between the three of us..." haha Merry Christmas Dan
Since you earned my subscription about two months ago I have learned and smiled a lot! First Brent, then Jason and now you have exacerbated my love for rocks. You're a goodnatured nerdy goofball and I, a fucking nerd with a love for youtube creators, love it. Thx mate, inspired me to start a rock collection
Been watching all these guys for years! Absolutely love seeing them put there skills to work as a team! Ahhh I sure wish I could join in the fun! But for now I shall enjoy the amazing content you 3 provide! I watch Dan a little more though 🤷
Awesome video Dan.
You three are my favorite channels to unwind to in the evening! I love watching all three of your videos, even if the results are the same*. there's 3 different takes and i LOVE IT! GGGGOOOLLLLDDD!!!!!!
The three of you guys together make the best videos especially now that you guys are getting more familiar with each other and it seems like you all actualy like each other its great to watch. Whoever had he idea for you guys to colab. Great idea!
Merry Christmas Mr. Hurd. Thank you for all the lessons and great content throughout the year. My your upcoming year be prosperous and blessed.
this really is 3 of my fav universes combining - so0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o freakin cool!
Just wated Jasons video. What an adventure. This place is now on my bucket list to visit.
I had my "laugh of the day" when I saw the name on that crusher, the "Chipmunk Crusher".
Watching Dan Hurd is like reading a Louis L'Amour novel without all that shooting and bad guys and stuff. Just the interesting bits like looking for gold! 🙂
Haha, my goto Canadian Prospector comes down to our neck of the woods! Thanks Dan for sharing your journies and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Another awesome video. Merry Christmas Dan, Jason, Brent.
Happy Holidays to you and yours! I always enjoy watching your content.
top show dan, best wishes for 2024.
Dan, you and Brent are my favorite KZread people. Great seeing you guys together!
Dan you always make good viewing, appreciate your never ending enthusiasm, thank you.
You guys are a great team up.
Brilliant video Dan. 👍
Watched Jason version, now your version, next hopefully will be Brent's version, love the collabs, I sub to you all! Merry🎄Christmas and a profitable New 🍹Year to all, Heavy pans to you Dan and fam. ⛏⚒⛏Take care and stay safe.
Always enjoy your show 😊
Absolutely fun video, thanks to the three of you, Merry Christmas and a gold filled New Year. Y'all need Jeff Williams with you, he is a certified geologist, a little looney but extremely knowledgeable.
I hope someday you can have it so people can come to visit that little town i'd like to do it but my issue is I'm disabled I have a very hard time walking
I was waiting for this Cerro Gordo video. Thank You. I watched the Ghost Town channel and saw you there. 👍
I think it's great that the CG gold is making all of you work to find it ;)
Legend has it there's gold at your LCS lots of it too. 👍
I enjoy when you boy's do it up wright have a wonderful Xmas 🎄❤
Thanks for all the vicarious adventures! Merry Christmas to you and yours, and good hunting in 2024!
Thanks I do enjoy the three of you :)
AWESOME!
The gold is on the east side of the mountain. Down for the ridge to the bottom. I think four gold mines. Good gold!
Good video Dan, and very exciting when it comes to gold...You should invest in walkie talkies so you can stay in contact in these dangerous areas.
Merry Christmas!
Love you 3 Merry Christmas
I went gold prospecting once, all I found was rubbish and foil. Mainly because the disused gold mines were next to a rubbish dump.
I found your channel from watching Brett's. Your videos rock. 😅
I guess Elton was right when he sang “ It’s trying to find gold in a silver mine. It’s trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine.”😂
Merry Christmas
You drove past me to get there…. Wish I can meet you someday
The gold found in the tailings pile revealed ONE TINY SPEC. Fewer exaggerations and baseless guarantees would make your videos even greater 💛
Good Luck🎉I wish I found a lot of nuggets
Hey Dan, I am puzzled by your confidence in finding gold in the wash at Cerro Gordo?? Yes, some conditions are favorable. However, with respect to time and erosion, I question your confidence despite the newspaper articles. Lol. I will continue to watch until you guys find the gold... I wish you luck!!!!❤
Good job, good lucky
They did have some epic rains not too long ago, so it may have been washed downstream.
Dan. That's the biggest drawback on detecting old mines. It's just littered with trash. AND. 1800s to WW2 cobblers used shoe nails. And I have dug deep only to recover a lead bullet. Virgin ground is hard to find. None the less. Great video. And yes your gonna dig trash. ❤
Nicely cut intro!
A good place to find gold ore is the omega tunnel dump.
Amazing
Those old boys poured over that area like locusts. I'm amazed there is any silver left.
That wasn't surprising. Theres been quite a few attempts to find gold up there. Its just not a gold producer. But the silver content is worth extracting the lead.
They still find clues still this many years later don't give up
1. How do you know what came from which pile? 2. What permissions do you need to check the dumps? Dive the mine shaft?
Howdy Hurd Herd!
The medal ring Dan found is most defiantly a saddle ring. Now all you need is a saddle in need of repair and a mule.
@ 9:15 , Look right above the gelina , to the right. Zoom in. That's a speck of gold showing on the surface , next to a yellowish spot inside the rock. I suspect that is the nugget setting off the detector.
There's some mineralization in there
Happy Holidays to y'all! I'm not feeling it, the AU is somewhere, shake out those Prospectors Beards it's going to happen, just be patient, no gold before it's time, like a fine wine.....⚒️⚖️👷🎄💪🎄🤠
I managed 8 miles on my old GT, ended up going along with a bunch of strangers on bikes cruseing along. Love it😂

My son and I are now planning on staying at that hotel. I wonder how much missed gold/silver is left in those tailings?
Can you compile all of your lessons of the day? It would be convenient to be able to see all the tips in one place
3 elemental super-heroes , fun !!!
The ring looks like the ring from a girth from a pack saddle
Perfect !!!!❤👍👍👍
MRDS shows gold listed as tertiary for almost every single mine in that area which isn't a soapstone or talc mine. No question lead was first with a bit of silver, zinc, and copper too. I'll bet the gold is running with the lead and you need to cupel the lead away to find it.

Brushing off the bedrock ? Chippings too? Yes, no?
ever wondered how that balloon got into the mine? i was thinking maybe someone let it go for someone who passed away and for it to go right into that cave is very cool
Ok so far you all have not found gold i believe I no there's some to be crushedby Jason and I am excited to see
Brent needs to buy a table from Jason and set up a crusher ahead, with a shaker table with panning area! To just work that material instead of shipping the shit to Jason’s house!
I am so happy you explored cerro gordo
@18:20 Why you gotta crush chipmunks? No gold in chipmunks.
Maybe that country is so arid it's limited to smaller and fewer weather events capable of moving gold downhill. What if you prospected higher up, or was that the highest bedrock you could locate in the wash?
