Over *ONE OUNCE* total gold found Detecting California Mother Lode!

GREAT day metal detecting the California Mother Lode! With my friend Dave from @Goldbay , Chase from @Bigfootminingco and all the rest of my new friends I made that day. We started detecting a small creek, and found some gold, but then moved up hill when the real fun happened as we pulled nugget after nugget out including some Huge Gold Nuggets. And some amazing specimen gold.

    I would be interested to know what your viewers think of the Minelab X-terra 705 with all the different coils available (including the waterproof ones)

  2. Rowan Hamilton on July 28, 2023 at 11:18 pm

    Usually when I have 8g of nuggets they are green πŸ˜‰

    What’s with the George V dime?

  4. GokouZWAR on July 28, 2023 at 11:21 pm

    Dan, some of your links in the description need to be updated. Your Kellyco links for your classifiers are not working. The pages are 404. I’ve been shopping around for some to use for Crystal hunting and I want to also get a gold panning kit to mess around with.

  5. Benjamin Nave on July 28, 2023 at 11:21 pm

    I really like your content I spent A lot of time in sand bar’s myself!

  6. Drew Packman on July 28, 2023 at 11:23 pm

    You guys that took Dan out realize he never finds that much gold!
    Nice way to be kind to the unfortunate.

  7. Peace seeker on July 28, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    You should bring a pad to kneel on

  8. Frank Ashworth on July 28, 2023 at 11:26 pm

    @DanHurd. I just automatically press the "Like" symbol during your introduction. You’ve haven’t let me down. I am diving so deep in your previous videos, while trying to stay current, that you keep this old war horse smiling.

    Cheers, my fellow rock hound.

  9. Maria Jensen on July 28, 2023 at 11:27 pm

    What a beauty piece of white speciment 😍 late happy bday. Sounds like u had fun that day 😊

  10. Billy Hunter on July 28, 2023 at 11:27 pm

    It would be nice if prospectors would bag nails, cans, foil etc. so other prospectors will not rediscover them.

  11. Johnny Wakefield on July 28, 2023 at 11:28 pm

    Good stuff Dan. Great video. Keep up the good work

  12. Kurt Glove on July 28, 2023 at 11:31 pm

    I love quartz I don’t care much for profit from gold . I just want a piece of quartz with native gold inclusion for my collection

  13. Kevin Doidge on July 28, 2023 at 11:32 pm

    Happy birthday Dan

  14. Christopher Marchand on July 28, 2023 at 11:32 pm

    Hearing Dan drop F-bombs is cathartic

  15. HawkHunter325 on July 28, 2023 at 11:35 pm

    Rather inefficient to use the big spools all the time. That’s why you usually have the pinpointer for, that you don’t need to go through all the lumps. Makes it like 3-4 times faster.

  16. Yeti Mountain Trading on July 28, 2023 at 11:36 pm

    Absolutely gorgeous and beautiful 😊

  17. Sunriot on July 28, 2023 at 11:36 pm

    Is this the same "Dave" you mentioned in your videos as someone who has passed away? If so, he looks way too young.

  18. Daniel plays with rocks on July 28, 2023 at 11:37 pm

    Happy Birthday Dannnnnnn

    Very Nice DAN!

  24. theeddorian on July 28, 2023 at 11:45 pm

    In the introduction scenes, for instance around 0:49, stacked placer tailings can be seen in the middle mid ground opposite the two fellows up stream. At least it isn’t snake season.

  25. Bill Miller on July 28, 2023 at 11:45 pm

    First thought: There are two kinds of people …

  26. Mark nunya on July 28, 2023 at 11:47 pm

    Now that definitely deserves a SUPER COMMENT.

    Your enthusiasm is very contagious πŸ˜€

  36. Peace seeker on July 28, 2023 at 11:59 pm

    Do any of these guys happen to sell gold equipment? Like panning stuff not metal detectors???? If so??? Think about it

  37. Jason on July 29, 2023 at 12:00 am

    Happy Birthday Dan!!!! Wish you the best. Love watching your videos. ❀

    What a fabulous birthday. From watching your channel. I think that would be one of your favorite ways to spend the day. Except for maybe having, Dana and your daughter with you also. As well as Evan. Have the whole family together having fun. (kids not bickering.)πŸ˜…
    Happy belated Birthday πŸŽ‰

    I’m sort of suspicious they added the nuggets

    Were you embarrassed to have such a ghetto metal detector around their nice ones?

  44. Gilgwath on July 29, 2023 at 12:08 am

    The detectory sound like old 8bit music. I wonder if you could make music my running a tape of different metals over a bunch of different detectors. I gues that would just be reinventing the theremin.

  45. Christopher Yager on July 29, 2023 at 12:08 am

    What county ? You need to come to Tuolumne county along woods creek one of these days.

  46. Miriam Smith on July 29, 2023 at 12:10 am

    Happy Birthday, Dan! Thank you for keeping my spirits up! Definitely going to start panning and mining for treasured gold!

  47. Moose The1st on July 29, 2023 at 12:10 am

    From what i remember, it is the high-low sound you need, not the low-high.

  48. Michael McCulley on July 29, 2023 at 12:11 am

    You never whip them out and compare sizes! Come on now!πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

  49. Marshall G on July 29, 2023 at 12:11 am

    Just make sure you are rich in the spirt toward Christ too,( The real treasure), sure does look like fun.
