Cat enthusiast and creative artist, digital video creating and music mixing. All original documented works including the music and prospecting techniques. Diversifying with limitless possibilities, formerly known as Silver Spike Prospecting now known as Smokey and Spike Productions.
Roasted versus Unroasted.
During this video I've turned back the clock and went a little old school. This production is similar to a couple of my earlier videos when my channel was called Silver Spike Prospecting. The first one was titled Processing Galena and the second one was titled Smelting Galena. The only difference is the process and the music is not as extreme. I'd like to personally thank Shannon @Goldpan-SuntanNM for sharing his magnet idea. I hope this one is as enjoyable to watch as it was to create. The results are definitive, no spoilers here. You're going to have to watch the video in it's entirety to see the outcome for yourself. Enjoy and thank you.

Chasing An Old Story.

Welcome to chasing an old story presented to you by Smokey and Spike Productions. During this video I'm out prospecting a location in search of two old claims. One being a placer claim and one being a lode claim. The story is on the lode claim down in the mine. It's reported there is malachite with a rich layer of gold beneath the copper carbonate deposit. I was so intrigued that I couldn't hel...
Suspicious Quartz Vein Sequel.

Welcome to the suspicious quartz vein sequel. During this video I've recorded my entire process other than smelting. Starting with roasting the quartz all the way down to crushing, classifying and collecting the concentrates. This is a preliminary examination of the samples gathered during my previous video while investigating a suspicious outcropping. Share your thoughts, give a thumbs up and ...

Hard rock lifestyle, thanks buddy!
Glad your magnet setup works out so well 😊
Thank you, it sure does! The name suits the magnet quite well, it is very mighty.
What's inside.
Thank you so much! The container contains a mighty magnet!
What the fuck did I just watch? I thought when they said they were panning that they were looking for gold.
Not in this ore, possibly trace amounts of gold. Educational content showing the difference between unroasted and roasted ore.
Is this iron ?
Hematite, magnetite and iron.
@@smokeyandspikeproductions how can get pure iron from melting magnetic sand ?
@@dhananjaybarman2408 Use charcoal with lots of heat and oxygen.
@@smokeyandspikeproductions I am asking that ,, is it possible to get pure iron from magnetic sand ??
@dhananjaybarman2408 Yes! th-cam.com/video/uC1LTZIVOu0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MMRGNmaC6QB_ZlTa
Right on man thanks for the shout out! Great experiment! I have some material to roast today pretty crazy how this video dropped on the same day 😅
You're welcome, thank's for sharing your magnet idea. It works phenomenally! I've wanted to upload a video like this one for quite some time. Good luck during your roast today.
Oh no you didn’t properly homogenize and split the samples uggggggh
I mixed the crushed ore very thoroughly, to the best of my abilities and separated out equal portions. Homolegize is dairy related.
@ homogenize just means ‘make equal’. Don’t stir or shake the samples, fold them over each other in quarters or use a splitter. Takes a while but the longer you do it the better the results will be. Prevents the ‘nugget effect’ from occurring where you get more of one heavy material in a portion than the other.
I considered that in the making of this video but I chose not to because I felt the ore had been mixed thoroughly prior to filming. Also that ore only has trace elements of gold. The primaries are copper and silver from a high sulfite deposit.
Looking good indeed fam 😎. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thanks buddy!
That was fun to watch.
Thank you so much! That was my intent to make the video enjoyable as well as educational.
I enjoyed this, but i would have liked more info in your narration
What would you have liked to hear more about?
More on where it was from, how you refined it, what you were expecting priour to the results Just a little more talking to fill in the dead space Keep it up
Sounds good, thank you!
The ore was crushed quartz monzonite from the Lizard Cove Mine in Grantsville, Utah. The ore was crushed in my ball mill then classified through 70 mesh. The results came out as expected roasting the crushed ore was very beneficial.
@smokeyandspikeproductions i appreciate that, im in Australia have a good Christmas
Very cool. Hopebyou remember where that piece came from to get more. ⚒️👍⛏️🐾
What's up Adam, thanks for stopping in! Happy Thanksgiving! Yes I know right where the source is of that quartz monzonite it's currently under several feet of snow.
my nephew had a cat the looks EXACTLY like that. EVEN WITH THE SAME NAME
Very fitting name, my cat's fur is a smoky brownish gray.
Happy thanks giving!!!
Thank you very much.
Your cat look like my cat
Must be a good looking cat, Smokey is a handsome big cat.
Your cat looks EXACTLY like one of my cats, except they’re small because we had a flee issue for a while so they lost a crap ton of weight.
Happy to hear they're doing better now. Yeah, that's my kid, Smokey my best friend.
Something about you scares meself. is you hiding something or needing some helps?
No, I don't need help. I'm just in search of the mother lode.
Love seeing the snow got to get out there whenever we can!
Absolutely 100% agreed, it's a natural medicine.
@smokeyandspikeproductions I'm out in it today :)
@@Goldpan-SuntanNMAwesome, hunting for a placer gold I take it.
Cheer~~~a system of weights used mainly for precious metals and gems, with a pound of 12 ounces or 5,760 grains.😊
That's the troy ounce system, I believe it's actually 5250 grains.
Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Frozen fun, looking forward to spring. I'm going to find that mine.
Nice 👍
Thank you!
Ha! Love it! Did you see Mountain Goat Golds Auto Classifier the other day? These kinds of things are a great idea!
I just watched his, very creative. Definitely a must-have, processed half of a 5 gallon bucket through 70 mesh in less than 30 minutes.
@smokeyandspikeproductions thr best thing it can be doing it's thing while your tickling something else at the same time!
@@Goldpan-SuntanNM Agreed, multitasking is essential. I should put some type of cylinder on that specific classifier so it can process more material at once.
Now you can multi task! Nice!
Exactly and now I don't get as dusty as well.
Great Job!
Thank you! Definitely a challenge to build when I first started but the end result works fantastic.
Still slave for Anunaki ! But great find anyhow !
I haven't seen any tall extraterrestrials yet, generally my specialty is silver. Although gold fever is sure catchy.
Right man good job this short it's a great one! Glad you Luke that sticker pack buddy!
Of course I like the stickers, that black and orange one is the schist!
I want to pan gold so bad .. I want too try it …!
Stay tuned that opportunity may present itself soon!
what are they used for
I think they would look good as pendants with silver bezels.
Fools gold?
Element number 79 existed in the concentrates after being processed. Thanks for watching.
Wow amazing
Thank you so much and I completely agree with your comment.
Nice!
Absolutely! Makes me wonder what else hides in that bucket. Thank you @DoggoneGold
😂 worth its weight
Worth more once the gold is liberated out of the host rock.
@smokeyandspikeproductions crush/acid bath 😁✌
@@KJ-xt3yu Easily done!
Nice!
Thanks!
Oh wow, the is amazing! Too bad you need to crush it.
This is true, it's the only way to collect the gold.
WOW!!!! GREAT FIND🌋
Agreed. I should start looking at my ore more thoroughly before putting it away in storage.
speed up video to 1.5 rate to get normal speach speed
That's my speech, I pronunciate things a little slower because of my hearing issue. I'm half deaf since July.
Thats incredible! Where can i find one?
Depends on where you live and if any mines are in the area. This particular piece came out of a bulk sample from Washington.
Jess the prospector. on TH-cam will educate you 😮
@@hjsigcjj3 Was that comment meant for me or the other individual?
Cool
Thank you, it's a nice example to display for everyone to get an idea what to look for while out prospecting or mining.
It's definitely a cool process! I was really hoping it was going to be loaded! What's the next step, or will you search for another spot?
Normally smelting but in this case doing so would yield nothing. Most of the Wasatch mountains and Stansbury mountains are covered in snow now. Currently researching Southern Utah and the West deserts along the Nevada border.
@smokeyandspikeproductions Keep at it, Bro! I'm taking a break and have been focusing on getting my shop finished and ready to turn some wrenches this winter as I've got a stock pile of projects to turn and burn. I should film a bit of it, I guess, as at least it would be content.
@@DoggoneGold Awesome, are you a mechanic? What type of shop are you working on.
@smokeyandspikeproductions I'm a self-taught mechanic 🤣 Ive been slowly piecing a shop together with a combination of new and repurposed materials as money will allow. I should have it fully enclosed and partially insulated by the end of this long weekend. It's not very big, 24x40, but I got the concrete done a couple of years ago and got me off the dirt and a lift installed. I can now lock it and no longer letting Mother Nature blow right in. 😁
@@DoggoneGold Nice achievement, I'd like to see some of your work. I always admire custom builds and quality engineering.
Frankenmill crushed that quartz like it was nothing, amazing work.
Yeah, it crushed all 12 pounds in less than an hour during one pass through the machine.
Slabtastic!
Sure was!
Awesome!
Agreed, definitely had to do a shout out for GS Prospecting.
That ball mill is awesome, thanks Spike for another educational video.
Thank you, it sure is one efficient machine.
Great job all around fam . Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thanks buddy, this one was definitely fun! Frankenmill worked phenomenally on crushing that quartz.
Nice spot for it indeed fam 😎. Thanks for the support and love fam 🙏🤠. Gold Squad Out 🤠
You're welcome!
Nice indeed fam. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Safety first, installing a new switch was a necessity. Thank you for watching sincerely from your friend Shawn.
SKI SEASON WOOOOOOOO!
Agreed, the east bench got pounded. There is plenty of snow up there now.
Looking good indeed fam 😎. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠
As always thank you so much Gold Squad, Happy Halloween!
Uh, yeah, lmao, that overhang is just a wee bit sketchy!
Yeah I got an eerie feeling just standing below it.
