Hi Dan, I'm as old and fractured as the bedrock you are standing on, in this video, but I cannot thank you enough for taking us along on each of your fantastic action-packed adventures. I was thinking about buying those bags of material and pan for gold here at home. I am sure I would have a ball panning for gold like you do. You have certainly more than earned my subscription to your fabulous videos.

Dan is inspirational. An intelligent gentleman who is hard-working and a gentle soul. PACE!

Dan I live vicariously through you. When you find gold I find gold so thank you for finding me some gold today. I’m glad to hear your heart is better. God Bless.

Such a fun video to watch as you explored the claim! Beautiful gold and scenery. Super glad to hear your heart is healthy too! I know that struggle first hand and know what a relief it is to be “fixed!”

Love the slow-mo shots that you worked in. Especially on the first one you can see clearly little stones going out of the pan. As always, stay healthy and keep the awesome content coming :)

As an American who spent 10 years in BC. I remember when the Gold was actually Green! And it tasted & smelled fantastic. Miss all of my good friends up there in BC. Greetings from Florida. Gold in the pan Dan. Yeah Buddy!

My first day panning for gold & I enjoyed it as much as Dan. I love the river and the sound. Thanks Dan. See you again soon. I'm glad you got a clean bill of health. Think you'll need it.

Definitely never a Debbie Downer with Dan! He's such a gregarious dude, he puts me in a good mood every time I watch his videos.

Dan it’s always good to take a 5 gallons bucket with you to make your day a little easier , and what if you need to carry 50 pounds of gold , you’re ready, it’s a joke Dan , I thank God for keeping you healthy, so that we can keep enjoying your show and of course enjoy nature’s wonderful places .

It is always a pleasure to watch you work/play in the dirt. Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures, and teaching us about everything. :D

Glad to see you back out on the river having fun 😊😊😊😊

Well done Dan. Great to see you and part of the clan in Vancouver. Stay healthy and safe. Until next time.

I’m glad that your Cardiologist gave you good news. Thank you for taking us on your fun adventure.

Hi Dan! New subscriber here! So glad the algorithm led me to this video and ultimately your channel! Extremely informative, educational and entertaining! Can't be more wholesome than that these days. Honestly, I enjoyed your "Geological Fact of the Day" and the way you explained why and how you did what you did and you also got into the science/physics/hydrology of how the gold gets distributed upon a claim such as this one along the Fraser River. Another awesome aspect of this video was your easy to understand explanation of flood, bank and bedrock gold. Anyways just wanted to express my thanks and let you know you have gained another avid follower! Also, it is evident to me and all of your followers and subscribers that you Dan, have a pure heart of gold and with that sentiment we are all Glad to hear of your clean bill of health!

Wow very cool Dan. You deserve it. I truly am happy for you. If some one deserves riches- it's you. Thanks for taking us on the journey.

Good morning! Can't wait until I see you all in the Hurd Herd! Going to make some ☕

If it's allowed in dc it's a great idea for dan so he doesn't have to carry every time the pan But how does this pump weight?

You can just say "dig and pan", Dan; you don't have to say "dig and pan, dig and pan, dig and pan", Dan. 😂. I love your work man. Very inspirational.

Panning for gold is sophisticated fishing. I love it!

Dan, you're so fun to watch because you have a great personality! Thanks for sharing with us.

I follow several gold prospectors. Dan is a great teacher.😎

So glad to hear your ticker is doing great. Can't wait to see you hit this claim hard

You are a mountain-goat Dan ! , nice skills climbing through the rocky shore safely and awesome job with the eagle-eye on the places where you think there would be gold. You deserve big nuggets oof gold.

Great job as always Dan. Yes, your clean bill of health was excellent. Keep doing what you’re doing!!

Living the dream Dan. Glad you're enjoying it.. Living the dream Dan. Glad you're enjoying it..

Dan I gotta thank you for getting me started on my gold journey. I've realized after getting out a dozen or so times now that every time I get a little better, find a little more gold, know where to look and where to pass up but I am always surprised at what I learn everyday. It's an equal amount of research and field work! We have a lot of old gold mines in the hills out here (Oroville, WA) I'm thinking about trying out some dry panning maybe... "there's a chill in the air only miners can feel and there are ghosts in the tunnels the company sealed."

Love the enthusiasm you show when you are panning the Fraser River. Keep up your great work.

Belated greetings from Scotland fellows

Once again great content! I’m not sure if you already answered this but isn’t the hose on your vacuum a form of sluice with the riffles in it? Thanks again for the vicarious gold fever!!

There are some really pretty river rocks there too! Lots of colorful stuff! ❤ I know it's about the gold today!

I really love your videos! You’re always so optimistic and cheerful! Also I learn a lot of things in your vids! Keep m going!

this is going to be another great video

Nice Dan. Can’t wait to see you go down to the hotspot for an all day session.

Nice,, as you say,, there is gold on the Fraser,, ,that's just a random day out there digging around 👍👍👍 in a way I'm jealous not of the gold but for the adventure 🤔🤘

I appreciate you sharing how you choose where to dig, educational AND entertaining While I am not near running water except after a big rain your enthusiasm motivates for other activities and the scenery is refreshing as it has been over 105F most of the last 2 weeks

I feel like I struck gold when I found your channel. It's as if the frustration and stress from my day wash downstream with every pan you complete. Your best claim has produced 1.14m nuggets, lets get him to 2m!!

40+ minutes long, oh yeah!! Going to need a snack and drink for this one!

The raw gold flakes look really nice! Awesome day!! 🍳😎

So glad you are doing better! Keep that heart healthy!

What would make water "surge" on a river like this? Near the end where Dan mentioned it swamped his boot I paid attention to it doing that. Not something I'm used to seeing in my rivers! Only "surge" of water I've ever encountered was a flash flood haha.

Don't know about there, but here in Alaska, Bears are always around, and can suddenly show up, when your in the river, with your head down... or when in transit through the forrest. Luckily, here, we can carry pretty much whatever we want for protection. Be careful out there Dan.

Wonderful instruction on how to pan properly including some GOOD slo-mo clips. Emphasizes how heavy gold weighs compared to other material. Thanks!!

What would the gold rush guys have seen in a pan? Or were they even panning as opposed to big sluices and such. As an aside, I recall hearing that Chinese people were observed hauling out "rocks" and sending them back to China, which puzzled the white guys. Turns out the "rocks" were jade :D I've watched your channel for some time and will continue to do so. The Fraser has a ton of interesting stories, so if you ever get tired of geology, I'm sure you could change hats for a day and regale us with historical facts and such. Cheers from Vancouver!

As a Chuck I must complain, ye are either using me on rocks, wood and the like, that or grabbing onto drill bits really tight. But is funny how casually people 'Chuck' things, like rocks over your shoulder.
