About
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. (Im 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.
