Dan, Thank you for THIS type of video. It is a video that any prospector can watch prior to going out on any given day. The examples you show and explanation you give is applicable on MANY levels to us all. MORE such videos should be made using your format. Creeks. Dry creeks. Gulches. Gullies. Walking from a perspective that WE all see it from... Bravo!!!! Keep it up!

I hav not ever been interested in gold and minimal interest in prospecting. Then I saw Dan Hurd. In the last year to year and a half, I have become enamored with the AMAZING region where he works and plays. The geology. The water. The hills and trees!!! All of it. Dan thank you for sharing your passion. It is infectious. It is educational and exciting. That area of the planet has always been a place I wanted to see. After seeing the beauty of western Canada as you share it, I sorta have it on the MUST DO list now, thanks to you. I have binged through all of your videos (and a lot of the kind folks you have connected to and or featured in them) and I cant tell you how much fun its been start to finish. Thanks Dan Hurd and your whole supporting family for bringing your brilliance and energy to our home televisions and computers. Cheers!

Thank you dan for another great instructional video on one of our many famous gold bearing creeks in BC, and making a point to show all the open pits and garbage that seems to be always left behind by the few that dont seem to care.The more we all can do to keep the inspectors happy the more we all can prove that these recreational panning sites are a great idea for people to enjoy our wilderness and not a headache for the inspectors that ends up being shut down to public due to improper panning/wilderness etiquette. Great advice all around, hope you are healthy and happy, keep up the good work sir and look forward to your next video.

Every time we take the dogs for a walk either park or beach, we take a bag and clear rubbish if we find it. Not much, but we clear it. Lots of folk do the same thing. If you love your country and your children, that’s what you do.

Well, good prospecter, You got me subscribed to your channel for the way you carry yourself, as well as the good education, I may have not heard quite yet. I have lived in Calaveras County, Ca (smack dab in the midst of the 1849 Motherlode) for 35 of my 42 years, and JUST found my passion for prospecting. I find plenty of conglomerates and rusted looking quarts everywhere. I have inhereted (from a friend moving out of state) his pans, classifiers, his motorized rock crusher, his makeshift furnace, sluice boxes etc etc. I know where plenty of ore can be found, where a vast majority of the local mines (2-3000 of them) are. Every river, creek, hunny holes all over. My question is why haven't I done this long ago? Prospecting and even just panning the creek by the park near downtown is, is the best form of therapy (even if i come up empty) a man can ask for. And with these cyclones we had in Ca this winter, im bound to hit paydirt. Subscribed and look forward to seeing all of your shows, my good man.
