Have you ever worked with Sulfide ore and do you have a better way to get the Gold out of it. For more vids on getting Gold from Refractory ore watch this video th-cam.com/video/OAqIhL2gJnA/w-d-xo.html and smash that like button ....SMASH it HARD !!!!!!
Looks like a good trick for sure to get your sulfides. I have some big chunks of ore that have lots of pyrite in them. What do you think about roasting them before hand so they crush easier?
When you say, "Hi everybody! It's your FAVORITE gold miner, prospector AND GEOLOGIST...," you are correct! You are my FAVORITE!!! I enjoy your videos more than any other source. When it comes to learning about gold, you are my #1 choice. Your videos are always on-point and on time! Today's video was exactly what I was wanting to see! I enjoy your humor, format and most of all your knowledge. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE! ...and your time! YOU ARE TRULY AN AMAZING, HARD-WORKING, GENEROUS PERSON! I look forward to meeting you!!! Thank you for ALL that you do!!! I appreciate YOU, Jeff Williams!!!
Hi Jeff, great video! just one small remark, Iron pyrite doesn't have one iron and one sulfur molecule in it... It has two sulfur for every iron molecule.
Awesome so if Sulphur is removed and leaving iron behind which then becomes magnetic use letharg to capelle great video I like how Jeff explains the geology of this project
Good Show sir! I learned a lot and you kept me engaged! It is hard for me to get thru most youtube videos without cutting out way before the end. But I was engulfed till the very end! Keep the videos coming!
I read something about this years ago in an old book, that article said something about soaking your sulphides in vinegar, causing the iron to rust, then when you roast, more gold particles are released. Oh, it seems it mentioned something about salt too, this would form a chloride and free up more gold, I surely don't know the chemistry.
Hey Jeff Williams. Hello, I'm very happy to see you again. To separate the gold from the pyrite, I powdered the pyrite soil and put it in the microwave. And the gold and iron left in the box. And you are the best teacher who can separate gold from iron. i love you Hashem
In the copper refinery the Au & Ag fell out of the electrolytic cells into a mud. The Au/Ag was all tied up with Se & Te. We would flux it with niter and burn off the Se&Te (sulfur-ish stuff) to get the dore Ag, Our As got squeezed out of the electrolyte. Sb simply came out of solution and clogged the pipes!. Fun stuff, good info dude.
Thanks Jeff! That was very educational! I was thinking that was something I would not try and the sheer amount of gold you got changed my mind Using it as one of your tools for getting gold, It may be viable in picked over areas where prospectors are not as familiar with the process.
Hey Jeff, you should show the different types of pyrite. There are different types. In Idaho there are 4 different types. Some don't know all the different types
There are several types of pyrite, including: Detrital pyrite: Made up of well-rounded grains that are usually single crystals Massive pyrite: A chemically stable form of pyrite Framboidal pyrite: A chemically unstable form of pyrite made up of very small cubic crystals that are not visible to the naked eye Cathedral pyrite: A rare form of pyrite with prism growths on the cube faces that resemble the pointed windows of a Gothic cathedral Pyrite sun: A circular disc-shaped concretion of metallic pyrite that forms in the bedding planes of coal deposits Pyrite is an iron sulfide that is usually found in cubes or pyritohedra, which have 12 five-sided faces. It has a brassy color with a golden sheen and black undertones
I own an Island that has pyrite. I found a pyrite nugget one special day. And knew it was pyrite. Never thought of finding the real thing there. Thanks for the idea.
Jeff, you blow me away with your crazy ways! Where do I go for some gold nugget hunting in the USA? Swinging a metal detector not looking for flower gold, big nuggets.
Another great video Jeff. Its the first time in a week something cleared my mind, we got hammered by Helene and now by Wed we are getting another hurricane. It might be time I head back out to AZ its not looking good here.
Thank you Jeff. Just let me correct you, pyrite is approx. 1:2 atoms of Fe:S, respectively. FeS (1:1) is pyrrhotite which is magnetic too. Greetings from Bohemia!
Wow ! From fool's gold to real gold made easy ! This is an excellent video ! With the right equipment, it's really not so hard to do. Thanks for show us Brother !! Again, we smashed that LIKE button real hard !!
Love you brother, just the vid i was looking for.... My newest idea: gold pan lid with a water sceeen seem, you put a lid on your gold pan: and the seem is sealed by a fine screen so you can agitate hard and fast without loosing your gold! Am i on to something brother?
Enjoyed watching, I always wondered about that Iron Pyrite always thought that there might be some Gold in there, I'm going to keep this video for future reference. Thankyou
I live on the west coast of Newfoundland and there is a ton of pyrite everywhere. I did some experiments about a year ago with pyrite and long story short I'm about to double check my results. Just a theory, but looks like pyrite might be the craziest mineral on earth. If I can repeat my results I already have, you haven't discovered how amazing pyrite CAN be.
Will you please test all the other material to see if it releases gold too? Something tells me you’ll be very pleasantly surprised at how much was hidden
Awesome video... if you had a po box, I'd send you a brass looking nugget of iron pyrite that would amaze you just from the look and color. I have a ton of the stuff... I'd love to fry up myself😅😅😅
I have been watching you for a long time. I just came back from a mountain camping church trip. I came back with about 45 lbs of quartz seam with sulpher, pirite, and a lot of grey black powder in it. Some white powder too. I have tried to pan with no results. I spilled a touch of nitric on it and it madly fizzed. I put a small sample in hcl. It reacted and turned yellow. The quartz and lighter colered material became very chalky soft over night in the hcl. I dont know what to do. I am a very newby. I will go to this area for morechurch trips at the end of every september. There are 2 gold mines in the area.
Yeeee Haaaa…!!! I have a better suggestion Jeff.. I will get the cows 🐄 to eat a sack full of crushed Pyrite.. with there grain feed…!!! once they process the ore..!!! All I have to do is pick the waste material and PAN IT OUT.!!!!! LOL 😂 I AM glad you showed what can be done with minerals that you think 🤔 has No Gold in it..!!! Thanks Brother.. Say hi to Lila.. And Yes..!! I am resting..! Cheers Famo59 Tony. P. S I am in the process of editing videos from my last Gold trip.. So hopefully 🤞 upload a video soon.
TONY !!!!! How the heck are ya my brother .... thats sounds great ..... glad to hear you are resting ....don't over do it because you have to take us to the great outback to get them 5 ounce sunbakers mate ..... can't wait to see them and keep us posted ...Cheers mate
Hi again Jeff? What about mica along with Galena? I use a bucket mini miller table that i got from Rhetta quite some time ago. She said Darren used to use it. But what it does is seperate the microscopic stuff out. It doesnt actually have riffles in it but just a rubber mat in it with tiny bumps all over the mat u can hardly see or feel. Also i get all that grey rock (schist) out of my mine but when i roast it it turns that dark red like u showed.

You are the most educated person i have encountered. I personaly knew the lab engineer at pegasus. That a CIL open pit 28 miles north of snowville utah. Its in idaho in black pine mountain. I learned alot from. Him. Again my mother was so afraid id get hooked like grandpa. Her dad buried in pioche. He showed me snake river gold. Just a fun old timer. But think its fools gold. All my life we laighed at fools gold. You use science to separate the gold. Only a fool thinks its gold. Yet it is!!!!!! Amazing jeff your the best.
So at the 21 mile marker at Quartzville creek there are a lot of reddish rocks along the hillside across the road from the Quartzville creek. Is that where I should sample pan?
Hey brother, nothing to do with thus video, but just read about trapped tourists at the Mollie Kathleen mine, and 1 death!

Sorry I was multi tasking. I was wondering about roasting before crushing to soften the material. Is it a good idea?
I use a 55-gallon drum lid and when it gets glowing red I start sprinkling it on it and it almost instantly vaporizes it
@@KnowlesFamilyGarage yes ...roasting quartz and then soaking them in water always soften them up
@@Askjeffwilliams Thanx Jeff. I think I will give it a go and see what results I get.

Always Having fun learning!! Thx Jeff!
Where I live, there ain't any known gold deposits, but there are some really good silver deposits.
C'mon, let's go make some GOLD, from iron pyrite with Jeff!
Always great information, and entertainment from, Jeff Williams!
Thanks Jimmi jam
What happens to that water? Does it turn acidic? Where and how do you dispose or repurpose it? Thank you.
I freakin new the rocks I've found had gold in them, thanks for the lesson.
Yes, we do need the geology / chemistry lesson !!! Can you roast the sulphides first?
yes ...but more efficient when in a powered form ....you can add table salt to it to speed up the reaction
Awesome video Jeff. Very interesting .

So is some of what you had in the pan with the reddish hue, gold that didn’t have all the sulfides roasted out completely?
exactly
Hey Jeff, were the shiny silver pieces a Telluride? Fun stuff Jeff. Thanks a Kilo
Hi Jeff. Wouldn't it be easier to work with acids and get all the gold out.
no ... smelting is the easiest way
