Back to my dream claim and this time I found the gold! After my last two days on this claim where I came up VERY short, I was starting to worry. But after talking with a bunch of the locals and doing some more digging, I am now on the right track and the gold got better and better as that day went on. I now have a good idea where we are going to find our first big nugget.

Thanks for taking me out to the woods Dan, The sound of the river is awesome and relaxing. I work at a power plant and am considered an Essential employee keeping the lights on and haven't been able to get out much due to the Covid-19 stay at home thing so its just travel to and from work for me right now.

Your first shot of the rapids brings me back to my time in the mountains. That shot right there always makes me feel that feeling of just standing and looking at the loudest calm you will ever feel.

Wow, gold AND platinum....and a whole family of gingers! Fantastic! ( This is the first time I've seen your family, I'm sort of new around here, I really think it's fantastic! )

Thanks, Dan, and family, looks like you all had a good time. Best wishes.
@jameslanning8405 4 years ago

Yup... Just to be there along such a beautiful stream, is pure gold! I'd love to just set up a camp for a couple days... Maybe wet a line for a trout or some other fish for a nice dinner over the campfire, a pot of boiled coffee, and some good company... Well, it's back to the grinder for me tomorrow. But thanks for the nice daydream...

Dan, I want you to know that I love your videos. From one ginger to another I went out today for my second time ever and was successful in getting my first two little pieces! So much fun. I’m in the Boise Idaho area. Keep these videos coming, thank you.

In Virginia city, they were throwing all the clay out, tons and tons of this clay, and not finding but traces of gold, then they found that because of liquefaction caused by volcanic and geologic events the gold had mixed in to the mud. And when they found out, they had extracted thousands of dollars worth of gold in the mud and sent it as fill. Almost missing it all

Thank you for showing, no gold in a pan and the process to find it. I feel overwhelmed to get out there, the dream claim series is very very inspiring, it earned my subscription. Please keep on keeping on.

8:50 isnt that a small avalanche of black sand just over Dans shoulder?
@mikeblair2594 2 years ago

I miss my kids being that age. They loved prospecting and just being in the woods. Had them carry my saw jugs around when I was felling timber and after work we'd prospect the local streams.found a fair bit of gold, platinum and old lead bullets and a lot of fun. By the way, I love finding wire gold, I don't know why, but I've saved every piece of wire gold I've ever found. I'm up to about four ounces now.
