  Great to see some behind-the-scenes footage of responsible placer mining. The people and government officials of BC need to see more of these types of operations to understand the full story, not just cherry picked data points! Regardless, thanks for showcasing such a beautiful area and the stunning pinolite.

  if only you had a picture of the mine before the reclaiming started, then people could appreciate the work your friends are doing

  I got a piece of pinolite from an old family friend who was friends with Joe. She was there when it was first found. RIP Judy😢.

  The government should really be encouraging this kind of thing. Re-opening old claims with the agreement that it&apos;ll be reclaimed to modern standards. It would get a lot more sites reclaimed if you can make a little cashola for your troubles

  Dan, thank you first and foremost for being an advocate and ambassador for the private and commercial gold mining and other precious stone and minerals industry to the every day layman. &nbsp;The showmanship you show on YouTube is both entertaining and informative. &nbsp;Just want to say I appreciate your content. &nbsp;May your gold pan overflow with abundance.

  Back in the mid-1990&apos;s I worked at a coal washing facility in KY &amp; I operated heavy equipment such as on this video. Not the excavator but large end loaders, the articulated trucks, &amp; we also had 777B Cat rock trucks. The 777&apos;s had a huge V-12 diesel &amp; I remembered that they had a 250 gallon tank which would run dry in about 10 hours of operation. I had to use a ladder to climb up &amp; take the fuel tank cap off &amp; it took around 20 minutes for a 2&quot; diameter hose to fill the tank &amp; kick off. It&apos;s crazy how much fuel that large equipment uses!
