I see some really super newly released gold, even in the quartz matrix. Here in Montana we will be looking uphill for the source when we see that. Have a great time and good to see your dad at it with you.

While Dan's not about pure gold, his channel is. Gold, gems, mineralogy, *CLAIMS, * prospecting, the equipment and basic usage, the visual apeal of getting out there (For some of us that can't anymore) and his basic *GUSTO* of it all. Dan has hit on gold with his channel, experiencing his actual fevor and excitement. Most channels fake it, he's the real deal :)

Dan, I just love you and your family! Watching this 'second part video,' I just chuckled at your dad's reactions and statements! 😂 His way of making you and all of us wait to see the top nugget trap, was anxiety and anticipation rolled into one! Tee hee! It made my day, thank you so much! 😊 I have to agree that this gold nugget challenge was an interesting and costly one. However, as you said the experience of it was priceless along with awesome gold nugget results! I'm not sure about BC's requirements for being a heavy equipment operator, but I would bet that the majority of operators don't ever get the chance to learn and have to pay someone to teach them. For the amount of money it cost you this was a cheap experience that you can build upon for future projects. Thus I will say that you accomplished so much for very little investment overall. Big congratulations and hugs to you my friend. 🤗 Give everyone a hug from me and let them know how much we support you all. Thank you for sharing your adventures and knowledge. I can't wait to see what you post next! In the meantime, I'm thinking about the river's blue waters as the nuggets are washed in the pan. Blessings from Alabama ❤️

Amazing how an ordinary floor mat with some simple wooden dowels going across catches 95%+ of your gold! The rest of the sluice is probably not necessary at that location. Awesome series on your machine mining at this spot this year Dan, really enjoyed it!

@MattHemmer 5 місяців тому
In areas I detect, that have big nuggets, you really have to dig everything including signals that sound like or show iron. I’ve had some of them turn out to be huge nuggets, or nuggets that were under, or next to the iron. In areas with a ton of iron trash, it’s not worth it to dig it all, but in this instance I’d have dug the iron target in the pit. Discriminating iron makes total sense in really trash filled areas, but not here.

You can use go pro mounts for the rollcage, or wear a hardhat with a camera mounted on it. The more level the machine is, the easier it will be to run, to constantly level yourself out. Looks good though dan!

Dad films me sometimes. But directing someone who is not a cameraperson, to get the right shots, start and stop at the right time, adjust as needed. more work than just filming yourself. It is all a matter of time or lack of time.

Hey Dan, can you put a mic on stage a few strategic cameras planted around the operation the next time you're machine mining? A couple cameras on the roof support piping, near the hole and one on the wash plant should be plenty.

You should look into automotive/motorcycle content creators, there are all sorts of go pro mounts for your helmet, or to put on the vertical bar of the equipment you are running, chest harness mount...and now there are self stabilizing 360 * cameras on an adjustable pole, that you can easily edit where in the complete sphere of video feed you want to display for all sorts of wonderful shots.

Have you heard of a terracotta heater? It's basically two terracotta planter pots one a size smaller than the other. A bolt, couple of nuts, washers, long burning candle and bricks. Put the bolt in the smaller pot with the pot upside down, bolt coming through the bottom going up. Put a washer then bolt. Then put another bolt but leave a couple of inches space, put another washer then the bigger pot on top. Then secure the top pot with a washer and nut. Put the bricks on the ground, candle in the middle, light the candle then put the pots on top. The terracotta will get really hot from just the candle and will burn however long the candle will. It will warm up a large area. Might be enough to keep some things from freezing. Just a thought.

I'm always in awe of how beautiful it is there. I live in Houston closer to the coast, it is abysmally dull. Marshes, no elevation, gross mud brown water. Nothing special.

You should look at maybe getting a "hat cam" so you can record easier AND it gives POV which is super cool. And if you feel like being more personal swap to the hand held. Or even look into strapping the camera along the "open box cage" around you.

Should have 3 gopros, 1 facing the pit when you dig, one facing you, and one facing the station where you put all the dirt to find the gold :) Just attach them to the steel on the excavator. Then you can cut videos from where your dad stand, where you dig and when you dump it, and you can talk to one :)
