Ghost Towns and Gold Claims. - Tulameen River, Coalmont, BC

Finding gold and platinum on the Tulameen river in the town of Coalmont BC. This "Paradise" claim is my little piece of pariadise on the Tulameen river. This claim is right beside the historic town of Coalmont, BC. and also beside the gold rush ghost town of Granite Creek. Also known as Granite City. The Tulameen river is know as one of the only places where you can find both gold and platinum in quantities on the same river. In this video I am panning for gold on the claim for a short time, and take a tour of the historic sites. This is one of British Columbia's little gems.

I say it every time but I really enjoy exploring along with you as much as the gold in the pan. Cheers

Incredible video. I spent many summers vacationing in Tulameen with family, tearing up Otter lake tubing behind my grandfather's boat. Water is ice cold, even in the hottest summer weather, but we loved it. We went to visit the Granite City site several times, and once on a memory and a hunch my great aunt had, a bunch of us followed the worn out roads up the mountains behind Granite city, where lo and behold we found some truly immense shale deposits, full of fossils of mostly ferns. Love seeing the area up around Coalmont get some attention!

The Tulameen is on my bucket list as a place to explore someday. So much history. Some tales of lost treasure in the area too. Great tour.

Nice little outing, great spot with some swell looking potential for Gold, Platinum, and Garnets. hopefully large enough to use and cut...Nice quick tour of the towns. Enjoy working the area Dan...And until your next video...Bye.👍

Metal detector !!! That would be a great place to sweep and see what history is just under your feet Dan. Great video, I almost could see the old town and all the people moving about. so cool. thank you for taking us along. heavy pans.

[mikewilson]

Love the Bailey bridge at the start. We used to build them when I was in the Army. Love your piece of paradise.

[JSabh]

Looks exactly like Washington State, ie Monte Cristo mining ghost town, Silverton, Liberty, ect. Cool vid Dan, I am surprised you weren't metal detecting on the old homesteads. Bet there are coins and artifacts everywhere. Canada probably doesn't let you dig there though on second thought lol. Your welcome to come on down and enjoy a bit more freedom.

The camera audio/ visual, has markedly improved throughout your series. We are so pleased to feel like we're there, but are in spirit. Love you guys

[FlourgoldWizards]

It really is a little piece of paradise!

Once again Dan, you've produced another beautiful BC vid. The flowers are just gorgeous as is the countryside. The gold was a little disappointing but I am 100% sure you will find it on that claim. Cannot wait to see it :)

[aussieguy]

Once again Dan another quality video thanks for sharing your adventures with us .👍👍👍👍✌️

Amazing place to visit! Granite City gave me gold fever and I was bitten by the history bug there.It also led me to Dan Hurd and his prospecting adventures! I have learnt a lot. Thankyou
