Gold panning, metal detecting, rock hunting, crystal collecting and mining adventures with Dan Hurd.
Most videos on this channel have something to do with mineral prospecting, mining and gold panning and rock hunting. Many are educational lessons I give to my "Gold Mining and Mineral Prospecting" class. (I'm a high school teacher) Others are videos of me checking out claims I am prospecting. If you would like to learn to gold pan, learn where to look for gold, or how to find gold, learn about the gold mining industry or gold processing wash plants, lapidary work or rock hunting, this might be the channel for you. If you like what you see, please comment, like, and subscribe.

Why are there Garnets Everywhere on this Beach! *New Adventure 2024*
Panning for gemstones - Many Gemstones are heavy just like gold, so you can pan for gemstones just like you pan for gold. However, they are ot as heavy, and more difficult to pan. That is typically why we use a gem sieve rather than a gold pan for gemstones. In this case all I had was the gold pan, and we needed some garnets for our webstore, so today I am panning for garnets! And also checking out a new claim.

After another very successful jade hunt on the Fraser river, I sent samples away to get lab tested to see if they were actually Nephrite Jade or just great quality gem serpentine. And the results confirm, there is jade on the Fraser.

What would you use garnets for
Hallo Dan! Deine Videos sind spannend und schön! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
3 pickers, 40 pieces
Great video keep up the good work, love the gem episodes!!! and Jade!
Get an off-road truck
Only place I've ever been where you could literally scoop up small garnets was near Mount Frosty mine, Mount Isa, Queensland. Garnets were embedded in schist host rock along with Staurolite crystals. We used to look for the crossed crystals (Maltese crosses) and multiply crossed crystals (Fairy cartwheels) there. Almost all the small garnet crystals were perfectly formed. Never found any larger than 2mm in diameter though. There were supposedly other nearby areas where larger garnets could be found but the country was truly rugged and only way in was trekking miles on foot in a very arid environment.
Hey Dan when you were showing the close up of the garnets are those tiny specs of gold in there
get a mill and use the wood your cutting to build the bunkhouse for goodness sakes.
the annunaki are so proud rn, look at all that ground they moved to find that gold turd lol
As a biologist, I kind of approve of those rules for taking material out. That does seem like it would protect the river from the more unscrupulous greedy people. That said, I'm also one culprit for your depleting garnet supply. I think I should get my order in just a day or two. Cheers from Finland! (We also have garnets here, but I just loved the look of yours.) :D
Homemade water filter, base aggregate
Have you considered selling the tiny garnets as aquarium gravel? The ones too small to be used as gemstones.
Awesome buddy! Love it and hope to bump into you again this season out by Yale. Cheers! Jay Finley
Just cheaper to deactivate roads than to maintain them. Can you take 4 wheeler up there?
Not being able to day trip into the middle of a forest is a wild opinion. Inaccessible???
In the beginning is that all agate you are sitting on😮
Find any morels while cleaning up?
What are you going to do with the tiny garnets that you're going to screen out?
A Spinal Tap moment at 6:50 waving the detector over the crotch of Dan’s shadow. Then Dan says, “It’s really really big, so either I’ve got a big nugget down there or it’s just a chunk of lead.” Classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
With how old that setup is, isn't it possible for a natural stream to form underneath it and send all the gold below instead of above the carpet? You'd know best with your own land though
Can you heat up those garnets and turn them into glass, like you can with sand or silica? If you can would the garnet glass end up being a red color?
they looks like salmon fish eggs
And the pionneer pauly with shlap's on foot's😂😂 bit dangerous in this ground
For living short,no safety needed
The Canadian making a southern border joke gave me a good laugh. 😂
Bureaucrats suck
Hi Dan! I was looking on your site for the garnet bags but could not seem to find them :(
Hey Dan , I can donate some time to help out, just let me know.. free on weekends...
We all love you Dan!
The spiral bowl reminded me of going to the dentist years ago.... 😁 Beautiful colors in those garnets--- liked seeing this video. Still love the gold, but garnets are just beautiful.
Hi Dan, would you tell Jason from MBMMLLC. To be careful of Sasquatch when he walks alone in the woods. The knocking he heard was most likely one.
Love your channel, but 'to what end' is a silly comment. Nature has value other than our enjoyment.
Love your videos Dan.
Dan you make me want to do this and make my day better
St Germain left them there
You never hear of a ATV before? Is it that far in by foot, just make a camping trek out of it.
We used to find tons of almandine garnets while gold panning in Vermont. I used to save all the big ones but stopped after accumulating a gallon freezer bag full. Some of them were pretty big, nearing walnut sized. Same as in your area though, all the big ones were so dark they looked black. The tiny ones and fragments were a great red color though. Those hardrock specimens you got at the end are awesome!
I love it.
While I enjoy mining for gold and gems, my day job pays better and is less work. I guess they don't know that Dan makes money from videos and mineral sales, not from the value of the gold found. Dan you are a good man. Don't let the fools ever drag you down. May God bless you and your family.
Don't let those people put you down. They're jealous
Ja no sivér hefe
Hi Dan, I brought my kids up to silver river last week. Water was way too high for us to do much. I wanted to know, are you coming up from Harrison or are you coming down from a northern route? We couldn't find a good place coming from the south. Thanks
You and Jason make great videos
Your awesome Dan Hurd. Love how your so knowledgeable in Gold/Gems and Geology. Love ❤️ your videos
Dan, if you want Garnett's, I have many, 10% of them just smaller then a marble. All of them as big as a pencil eraser. I can get pounds of them if you are interested.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
Looks like they need to extend the trays also, every shovel she puts in there’s half a shovel spilling out
Is it a common requirement that you have to do work and/or improvements on a claim within certain time period in order to keep the claim. Where I grew up in Nevada County California, it was my understanding that claim holders had to do work every year to maintain river access and the state of the river. The few times I heard of this was in the context of maintaining trails.
For you to not get there, is the point.They will have to worship their God from afar.
Hey Dan for collecting alluvial material (placer) on mineral titles (no gold panning), does this extend to materials such as river worn Rhodonite in BC?
4x4 ?
