MAN I did not expect to see Dan in a Mr. Beast video. That's so cool. :)

I did my masters thesis on the geology of the reed gold mine. I spent so many, many days tromping around here over the course of a couple years, mapping everything to develop a model for the formation of the deposit.

Is there anyplace one could read your thesis?

Welcome to the greatest state in the USA. I'm proud to call this place home. Come back anytime.

When I was visiting my daughter several years ago, we visited Reed Mine and panned for gold ourselves in the sluice boxes. But of course, we didn't find anything. The tour was very interesting, and we enjoyed our visit. Thank you for sharing your experience there.

As a resident of South Carolina, it makes me so happy that you are nearby, exploring Carolina Gold. I noticed a display behind you in one shot where they showed a bunch of coins minted from our gold - Charlotte had a US mint for a while, because so much gold was found here.

What a wonderful tour! Fascinating. I'm originally from upstate NY, but have always loved Virginia. It's great to know more of the history! Thanks Dan!

Welcome to NC. I’m just 38 miles NW of Reeds Gold Mine. I’ve been by it many times on the way to Myrtle Beach but never been there. Thanks for the tour. I plan to visit someday. So much great history there. I’m just beginning to pan the creek on my property. Lots of quartz and black sand here. The creek is down to bedrock in most spots. Your videos have been motivating me!

So nice of you to shout out small channels like MrBeast

Dan. Thank you so much for coming to North Carolina and documenting where USA's first, original Gold Rush took place! You have come a long way from when I first started following you. Keep up the great work! Can't wait for your return to the great state of North Carolina! Check out Uhwarrie National Forest next. Loads of gold found there too!

I LOVE Reed Gold Mine, the story behind it is great, I grew up just down the road, and have been there many many times ! thank you for getting the history of US gold discovery on record here on YT once again- I have to say there's a twinge of jealousy seeing you out of the public area , with Reed Gold in your pan .

In the late ‘60’s when you visited you could pan out of the creek. They had piles of dirt and you got a pan full and went to the creek to pan it. It was just a short time until the new panning stations were being built. I didn’t find gold but a bunch of mica and they put a few flakes of gold in my mica filled bottle. I remember how nice they all were!!!

@mary-ruthflores4107 they were always really nice there , I went many times as a child, then took my kids in the 90s - I usually just hit creeks around charlotte if I wanted to play- would head to Thermal City in Marion if I wanted a full day of panning - spent time on Crowder's Creek near Kings Mountain

I'll be watching Jason's 12th installment of opening his mine after this! Love watching and learning from many of y'all, and may be doing a visit to Wisconsin, and try for some of that flour gold! 😂

The gold in that creek is incredible, sometimes it’s a bit yellow and sometimes very mercury covered. Very happy to see someone from out west coming to the east coast

The Best Discovery..starting from the best too Always successful Dunhard...God Bless You 🇮🇩🙏⚒️⛏️💎👍👍

Two of my favorite topics North American History and gold

Wow Dan! My uncle and aunt owned several mountains and homes in NC! Yellow Creek ran right in front of the original homestead on their first property! Other than the undescribable scenery, I sat on the cabin's front porch at night. Guess what I saw that is no longer here in the south? (T Y bug zappers). Across the road was another mountain and the fireflies were so numerous that it looked like a million diamonds flashing on the side of it. It took my breath away..... Anyway, I sat in several creeks around there and knew nothing about panning then. The thought never crossed my mind. However, I have 3 jars full of beautiful rocks I found in the NC creeks! It's been in my kitchen window since 1999. Maybe I should look at them....? Thank you so much for the history and tours of an incredible place. To see the gold in your second pan was unbelievable! But, you know where to find it! I cannot wait to see the next part! Hope you find a 10 pound nugget! I'll help you tote it back home..... We can discuss details later.... 😂 Blessings from Alabama ❤️

Thanks so much for the tour, Dan! You are always so respectful when you visit... anywhere! I'd bet Jason would love a close look at that old school shaker table !

Great video Dan 👍 The historical values of these old Gold mines is are as valuable as the gold itself. Thanks for taking us along.

Hey Dan, I absolutely loved this video! You visiting this place, showing us around and telling all the history about it. Would love to see more of you visiting these historic places!

My family settled near that area in Rowan County. The old home place has several remnants of open pits. Glad you were able to go see the mine!

Fantastic video: History, The workings of the mine the whole dam story. "Thank you Dan, you're the man ". Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.

FANTASTIC 🎉 Just seen the MrBeast video, your in with the big boys now Dan. What a fantastic mine to visit, I wish the gold panning was better here in the UK. I will be sure to buy some of your pay dirt as a nice treat for myself or even a nice slab of your beautiful Ocean Picture Stone. And please can you find out if PioneerPauly is ticklish

History is so cool, so sad that it had to stop operating. But aside from that, such an amazing opportunity to have a tour of the entire place,and so nice of you for sharing the experience with us. Keep up the good work Dan! 🎉❤

You are such a fantastic teacher! Thank you. 😊

always love your historic, documentary style videos Dan. Great experience, thanks for taking us along.

Beautiful place full of history and beautiful gold nuggets 😊

Probably one of the best videos you made in my opinion. I love most of the adventures you go on. But this one is so informative. Thanks Dan for doing this on a constant basis!!

Absolutely amazing. A great teacher! Keeping folks captivated!

Great tour great information thanks for your time and dialog.

That was a very nice place, thanks for sharing. Glad to you found some Gold there.

Awesome! That's my neck of the woods, I live ~10 minutes from the mine. We find gold everywhere around here, panning creeks and such.

Thank you for doing this Video in My Home State! I live here at the Beach in NC and have always wanted to see someone do a Video of Reed Goldmine. As a Graduate of UNCW Geology Dept. I'm proud to say "You do a Great Job with your Videos! Keep up the Good Work Dan!" P.S. I have ordered gold from your website and bought a T-shirt I still where today!

I live in North Carolina and this is my new favert video, grate job Dan.

Great video Dan. Thanks for the tour!!

Another great video Mr Hurd! Awesome visit and info!

That was enjoyable. I was born in Winston-Salem and had no idea. We moved to California in 1949 (49'ers :-) ) Had family move to the Carolinas to retire from Indiana.

You already struck gold Dan, it’s called your multi million dollar youtube channel.. Congrats

Man that panned gold was fresh...it looked sharp and jaggedly...mega!

Dan... This was an Awesome Video of our State History. I have wanted to travel to this site for a while, Now you have just given me more fuel to GO.

I have been on a Dan Hurd bender for like the last week. I love your channel and your energy. I hope your well friend.

Dan, you're a great teacher.

I love it when you talk about history of mining. And seeing old machinery .

Saw you in Jasons videos, watched my first Dan vid all the way to the end, deserved the sub!

Welcome to my home state Dan, I’m thrilled that you are here. I hope you have a great time and enjoy some southern hospitality! Hope you find lots of gold!

ty Dan showing the unique history of this site - Chris NJ

A great slice of Americana, thanx for sharing Dan.

Awesome presentation.I was for the entire video on the edge of my seat and I don't get often so interested as to attentively pay attention for a half hour video.This one held my attention and while I've lived in USA all my life but someone from BC, Canada told me that this fabulous Reed Gold Mine was in a neighboring state to the East.Furthermore, took me on a tour of it.Thanks

I’m from N.C and toured reed goldmine when I was a kid . Very cool to see on your channel ❤

Awesome video and historical information! TY! It is looking like a trip to Jefferson, NC is in order this spring to see family in the mountains! 😁

Your love for prospecting and geology comes through on your tour. I hope your students appreciated your enthusiasm!

So cool!!!! I live a few miles away from Reeds. Glad you shared its cool history

Thank you Mr. Hurd!

If you ever come back to North Carolina, you should bring the family.. We have different kinds of open to the public mines across our state.. Hiddenite was about an hour drive NW from Reeds.. Would love to meet you if you ever come back..

Cool. I live in Nevada County California and have done a bit of panning and detecting. It's a lot of fun as well as kinda relaxing.🤔 We had our gold rush as well in the 1850's.

It was great seeing you on mrbeast's video as my kids were watching it. I made sure to have them rewind so I could point you out!! .... and the best thing, they knew who you were from watching your videos with me!

Enjoyed the video. My wife and I were in that area “checking it out” back in October.

What a beautiful area at the historic mine. Thank you for sharing this adventure!!!

Awesome you were there i love mtn biking in NC

Class field trip of mine 35 years ago lol thanks for the walk down memory lane have to say it looks the same mostly. so cool.

I’m from North Carolina I’m glad you like it and was able to find some gold. Congrats on being in a MrBeast video I hope it brings a lot of good things to this channel.

Fantastic vid Dan. Very informative and entertaining

I would love to see a three part series of documentaries with Dan Hurd's insight to cover North America, Canada and Alaska relating to gold exploration. Any heavy hitting producers out there willing to make money? Great video Dan. Australia.

Thats so awesome you got ro document being there. I love seeing the history of the state I grew up in.

Wow, what a crazy clash of worlds for me. Dan, your videos were the first I had watched to learn about these exact fields. Because I own property on a stream 2 miles from Reed. And now you were here doing a video! How awesome!

Welcome to North Carolina! Love this video because it’s so close to my home! You are a real character Dan! I will be visiting this site someday soon! I’ve heard of it but had no idea it was so interesting. Really enjoy your videos up north too! Thank you!

I thank you for our learning of amazing history, I do love Great Thanks Dan :)

Loved this Adventure Dan! Can't wait to see the next video ❣️❣️❣️

MrBeast was not a name i ever expected to come up on this channel lol. This place looks amazing so much history.

thanks Dan this was a wonderful video!

Thank you Dan for sharing your NC adventure. 🤗

I was fortunate enough to visit the Reed mine with my family. The panning shed wasn't open yet, still too cold. May have to go back when the stamp mill is running. Thanks for the video!

Hope enjoyed your visit to North Carolina MY HOME STATE We have something for almost any one. I have been Panning for gold today at Lucky Strike gold mine about two hours west of the Reed mine. Have never been to the Reed Mine yet but after watching your video a visit will happen in the spring. Always look forward to your videos they are entertaining and I have learned quite a lot watching them. George

I have been following you for quite some time. And your friends and adventures. Good to see you local. I live 4 mi through the woods.

Glad you enjoyed NC! Long time follower and North Carolinian!

I lived close to that area for several decades, not sure if it was mentioned but the original nugget was used as a door stop.

Hi Dan welcome to my neck of the woods.iam about a hour north of there in the mountains.The grandkids just found a huge quartz rock I have to crush tomorrow to find out if there's anything in there.kinda like the story line.Fantastic channel keep it up😊

Just popped over from the MrBeast video - what a shock seeing you! Congratulations!

Hey 👋. You’re in my neighborhood. Glad you got to see North Carolina

The float in the valley off reed mine would be spectacular to go through

Loved your Reeds video . Took my kids there when they were young and we found 3 specs … that was the closest to gold fever we had.

Good video Dan. I wasn't aware of that bit of American history. Thanks for sharing!

The Museum of Mining at Colorado Springs, CO has a complete working 10 or 20 stamp mill they run at least once each year. I was there in July of 2007 and was too early to see it run.

This was fantastic, would love to see more tours regarding the history of gold deposits/extraction.

I wonder how the museum curators reacted when you panned a decent number of gold flakes. I doubt their public panning trough produced that much. Great show, Dan!

Dan - So glad you came to my neighborhood area here in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Have fun panning at Reed Gold Mine.

Great Vid! I love the history videos. Cheers Dan

I am from one of the original families that lived on meadow creek. I have three grandfathers buried there and I am 4th generation prospector. I know those creeks very well. Have family on phoenix land. Give me a shout. And I know Larry very well at Reeds. If you would have panned that bedrock at bridge… well your outcome could have been picked up out of pan. Cheers!

Great overview of the mine and gold extraction techniques. Thanks for the visit there, for all the years I had lived in Virginia and NC, I had never heard this history. 1799!!!

Really cool video Dan!

Very interesting, thanks Dan.

Welcome to our long fall season! It took me a year or two to get used to extended version in NC. Being from Colorado originally i thought fall was the 2 weeks before Halloween lol

I live in NC,not too far from the Reed Gold Mine. Hate that I missed y'all,but cool that you were in my home state!!!!

What an awesome museum they have, would love to visit. You rock Dan

Dan... I just saw you in a freaking Mr. Beast video, lol. Lets go Dan!!

Was happily surprised to see the MrBeast cameo!

Hey Dan, I had no idea there was/is gold in that area. In grade school in Calif. ( In the nineteen fifties ) we learned about sutter's Mill being the big discovery of gold in the USA. Of course gold has been found in other areas since. Thank you for the new video . Take care

Great video Dan

It's so thoughtful of you to help a small youtuber like Mr. Beast in a collab!! So cool to see you there! hope you get many more collabs to come!

Good to see MrBeast thanked Dan for helping out. Oh wait...

Heyyy welcome to my neck of the woods! I recently had to take a MSHA class to get Part 46 trained so i can do my forestry work at an active Martin Marietta mine, and we talked about this

So cool! You was in my neck of the woods. I live about 10 to 15 minutes from Reed Gold Mine. Would have been nice to know you was there to meet you in person. I do know that if everyone knew you was there that it probably would have ruined your experience and enjoyment of visiting Reed Gold Mine. Awesome video and can't wait to see your other video of your panning at Reed Gold Mine.

Love your video's dan and seen your video with the other youtuber and cant believe he invited you all the way from bc but expect your channel to blow up if people look you up because of him
