Excellent demonstration. I learned a great deal from this video. Don’t plan on actually doing this but wanted to have an idea on how it is accomplished. Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad you've gone through step by step. Hard to find videos like yours (Equipment and process). I'm happy and once I get the money I'll be doing this on my free time.
That is Awesome !!! I am just finishing a rock crusher and trying to have a electric driven or gas option. Im in Montana and this really opened up some new prospecting ideas. Ive been caught up looking for Gold but the silver you showed was incredible. Thank you for sharing your skills
congrats on finding such hygrade ore source it's a bit of work but the results are worth the work anu hobby that will give you something shiny at the end of the day is always a plus. thanks for showing us all how it's done, I've been prospecting since the early 1970's --Rick
Great video and explanation of the process. I have watched it three times. Your ore is different than mine - -I have quite a bit of nickel and cobalt associated with the silver. My guess is the miller table would not remove these metals and when roasted would be a mixed ore button. Even so, I would love to try this.
After I watch this video and I figured how to do with mine. Crushed the rock & add into Muriatic acid to removed all unwanted metal ,copper, iron nickel , calcite . Clean it with warm water & dry them out. Melting with flux or borax And nitric acid for pure silver. Thanks for the video Very nice work here
Haven't been here in a very long time. Nice to see what your up to. I am still pouring silver and lovin it. They call me "PAPA DEAN" now. Thanks bud, This was great.
Man, your voice could definitely put people to sleep! Awesome setup though! I'm a home refiner and would love to have some of your toys along with the materials they work for! I have actually built a few mini kilns of my own that operate exactly like the one used in this video. They work great for silver.
Thats the coolest thing ever! I had no idea it worked like that with ore!! Makes me question what my grandfather was doing on his land back in the day.. found bottles of mercury.. pick axe in his shop.. ive been looking for gold in the stream but maybe he was mining like that!
Can you put this powder in a nitric acid sulution to take out the silver and then put in to a metal again??? By using pure copper to force the silver from a liquid to pure 999 fine silver and then smelt it to bar/ingots
Hi, thanks for the great video, I was born and raised in Nevada, and spent a lot of time in Virginia city, and worked at a gold mine when younger...what are you using for a flux? A borax? Thanks again, I sent this video to my grandkids, ...makes me want to go panning on the feather river..but I'm a bit long in the tooth now...great video, thanks for taking the time
Great video, learnt something from this that I haven't heard anyone else say in a load of videos I've watched. Also saved myself 5 minutes by watching this at 1.5x speed, still caught everything. At 2x you do miss a few things :)
These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Both are acceptable, but learned is often used in both British English and American English, while learnt is much more common in British English than in American English.
That's short for Mathematics, meaning multiple. We go to a Maths class to do multiple sums, if it was just one sum being the singular it would be a short lesson. It's the difference between Traditional and Simplified English.
No sir , i think its lead with alittle silver , the percentage in ore its contain 65% lead , and 2% silver , you can melting your result with 5% of zinc to get pure silver
I looked through the comments but didn't see it mentioned; the mold's bottom edge which was over the flame, did it melt a bit or was it like that already?
New sub here. What a great small scale crusher. I can use one like this up here in North Central BC Can. Great setup fella. Love the dust abatement. Simple and effective too.This is a great step by step. I would sure like to see working some placer gold as well. Your setup is nice and clean and as I pour silver(from stock bars made into shot) I have all the things you show here. That most certainly is very rich stock you working with and I really enjoyed this a lot. Thanks so much and if you like come and visit. Can't hurt new friend.
I'm here because of the sermon I watched from CFC CHURCH talking about how God is refining us like silver.(Malachi 3:3) spiritually this is what us Christians will go through for God to get us to our best! Amen
Chris Licata you can do this with sulfuric acid, and lots of other acids and steps which is very very complicated. Watch CodysLab and other channels to get into it
Yes, we call stone that is present in nature as ore, and it's usually made up of different kinds of element. When we crush those particular stone and then classify it by some method, like gravity separation, magnetic separation, or flotation, we get what we call as concentrate. In this video, he's heating up grinded/powder concentrate with some additional elements to ensure the extraction process occur, and get silver(above 90%).
thanks for your explain but Can tell us what's that's kind of powder you using with the melting process? and I'm greatfull for this video with my best wishes good luck .
i have many dif hobbies. i cant help but chuckle as i readthrough some of the comments people have made on your video. why do ihave to make a profit on something i enjoyed doing? for instance, out of every fishing trip i have ever been on, not even one of them made any money for me. in fact, most, i returned home in dept or broke. thanks for the video. i found it very intresting and educational to say the least.
I agree, who cares if it's not incredibly profitable, think about the practicality of being able to make a cast iron or copper tool from mineral ore! The skills displayed here are very cool. This is the kind of career building hobby my father talked about. People don't seem to realize how profitable prospecting and metalworking can be for those willing to file a legal mining claim.
Dose "fishing" translate to going to Vegas for a weekend at the lake.if you are coming home in dept and broke from fishing maybe you should try gambling lol.
Hey guys, I live in las Vegas Nevada, but Nevadas known to be the silver state, and I am considering getting in to something like this and need help trying to find silver near the near by silver mines, any ideas on how & where to find silver ore in my home state
I think you just burn them in an old frying pan over a campfire until it stops smoking. Stir it up as you do it. As it cools it starts looking kind of rusty. Now its an oxide. Now the graphite in the crucible takes the this and that oxides and takes away the oxygen from the silver oxide....whatever the name really is and wa la....metal silver. The Glass and Borax in the flux catches the other minerals
Buy it at www.911metallurgist.com/equipment/smelting/gas/
Fantastic setup! It's amazing how much more efficient the process is when you've got the tools of the trade.
this was the best detailed video I have found. appreciate all the information. look forward to watching more.
Excellent demonstration. I learned a great deal from this video. Don’t plan on actually doing this but wanted to have an idea on how it is accomplished. Thank you for sharing.
I wanna actually do this... I just don't have a source of any precious metal ore :(
Very detailed explanation! Good job and may all your mining dreams come true!
I'm glad you've gone through step by step. Hard to find videos like yours (Equipment and process). I'm happy and once I get the money I'll be doing this on my free time.
ط أقرب وقت
How's it going? Did you get the money yet? If you didn't get the money yet use your free time to get the money.
That was great, nice job on the process. You are very methodical and efficient and it produces quite nicely. Keep up the good work!
That is Awesome !!! I am just finishing a rock crusher and trying to have a electric driven or gas option. Im in Montana and this really opened up some new prospecting ideas. Ive been caught up looking for Gold but the silver you showed was incredible. Thank you for sharing your skills
This is so fascinating, thank you for showing everyone this amazing skill.
Great start to finish demo. Thank you.
I thought that was one of the coolest things I've seen I mean we all see silver but we all don't get to see the process good job man
Dude, 500 years ago this vid would be supreme wizardry. Well done, precise and straightforward. Something lacking these days.
Great video! Always have been inspired to try this someday
Excellent video! Amazing!

Very nice work here
"This is Tom Burdet, and we'll leave the light on for ya."
😂
Great job with the demo , great life skills
This was so great to watch and very interesting thank you 🙏 👍😊
Without these men, you have no tele, no phone, no computer, no skyscapers, no nothing....
That was so awesome! Fascinating
That was really interesting. Thank you.
Great video! thank you for sharing!
Fascinating. Why is this so satisfying to watch??
To be able to see silver produced from a 1 man setup like that would be one hell of an awesome feeling, cool video
Appreciate the video. Thank you sir !
I’m super impressed, I’d love to get into this, I love silver!! Two thumbs up.
nice how you go steady and detailed trough the whole smelting process. i learned a lot here . thanks ! 🗽
7:51 Is Where It Starts.
Seriously!! Get to it already, so here,........
People like you sir need to lay egg and multiply lol..thanks!
Muchas gracias por sus videos. Saludos desde Mexico
Haven't been here in a very long time. Nice to see what your up to. I am still pouring silver and lovin it. They call me "PAPA DEAN" now. Thanks bud, This was great.
Have you ever tried going the nitric acid method with your concentrate?
Man, your voice could definitely put people to sleep!
Awesome setup though! I'm a home refiner and would love to have some of your toys along with the materials they work for! I have actually built a few mini kilns of my own that operate exactly like the one used in this video. They work great for silver.
I was thinking the same thing it was seriously triggering my ASMR
😂😂😂😂
Is there any ideas displace or reduce aluminium oxide from rough stone?
I like your setup Most people go big but I would love to have a little bigger setup for smelting aluminum. Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your video. Looking forward to your roasting video. God bless you.
Thats the coolest thing ever! I had no idea it worked like that with ore!! Makes me question what my grandfather was doing on his land back in the day.. found bottles of mercury.. pick axe in his shop.. ive been looking for gold in the stream but maybe he was mining like that!
Looks like you have this down to a science. Are there any fume issues that should be concentered.
Can you put this powder in a nitric acid sulution to take out the silver and then put in to a metal again???
By using pure copper to force the silver from a liquid to pure 999 fine silver and then smelt it to bar/ingots
Yes sir that IS cool....have to check out the miller table...
Fantastic! Well done
wonderful, instructive safety stressed video...thank you sir for sharing your skills
this is a pretty good video demonstrating a process this guy obviously enjoys working at. I strive to be this content doing something I enjoy someday.
I don't think I'll wver get to fool with anything like this, but it's a treat to see how it's done.
Hi, thanks for the great video, I was born and raised in Nevada, and spent a lot of time in Virginia city, and worked at a gold mine when younger...what are you using for a flux? A borax?

bucketlistbeginner u are like80-90 yrs old
Awesome video. Thanks
how does one go about finding a ring mold? how many repeats until pure refined?
Good explanation
Great video, learnt something from this that I haven't heard anyone else say in a load of videos I've watched.

LOL !
Wow! this is really interesting. I didn't realize all the steps this takes.
Looked like a hershey's kiss of solid silver! Great video but what is the Purity when you do that?
No sir , i think its lead with alittle silver , the percentage in ore its contain 65% lead , and 2% silver , you can melting your result with 5% of zinc to get pure silver
What a great video sir!
What grade of silver would you say the 27.5 g yield is? Were you looking to get .999? Thanks great video!
I tried it and it didn't work? I did not get a silver bead? How long did you fire the ore? How long did you roast it before hand?
Probably the coolest thing I've seen for a long long time
You dont bake the ore off after crushing? I was always told to bake off that ore to elininate lead in the melt and some other impurities.
pretty good! for sure
I looked through the comments but didn't see it mentioned; the mold's bottom edge which was over the flame, did it melt a bit or was it like that already?

Wow ! Great button! Nice job!
There's so many ways to process silver it's incredible
We have silver in the countryside where I live, this is good info. Best of luck my brother, may your fortunes be many.
kool! you making any money with all the equipment expense or is it just a hobby to keep you out of trouble?
Is the outside casing of the kiln stainless steel?
what kind of flux do you use for silver
Nice work was cool to watch thanks
I'm in Boise and I'm curios as to what silver ore looks like in person. Can you give me an idea of what areas to look in?
I'm here because of the sermon I watched from CFC CHURCH talking about how God is refining us like silver.(Malachi 3:3) spiritually this is what us Christians will go through for God to get us to our best! Amen
Sounds like he had fun talking about his hobby. And He made a couple of bucks. Good for this guy.
10-4**
Some learned folk know how to use silver medicinally. So the profit is not always about making money.
Sweet job Bud. Way to go. I love it. By all means keep up the good work.
What do you know about platinum? 3240 degrees Aprox. Can you do it.?
I just watched silver mine ore days ago, thanks for showing but long process with the price,
Amazing. I was in Rosia Montana, there is a huge Montain full Gold, Silver,have some rocks from there,I'll make some Tests...Thanks for shareing!.
Fascinating thanks!
Does this process not required cupellation?
Is this method could be used on black sand as well?
what type of flux do you use and what is the recipe ?
Did u buy that ore and what state are u in
Couldn't see your eyes. Do you wear eye protection when opening that kiln?
Is the metallic chunk at the end pure silver? I know that ore often contains other metals as well like lead and copper, do you have to separate those?
Chris Licata you can do this with sulfuric acid, and lots of other acids and steps which is very very complicated. Watch CodysLab and other channels to get into it

thanks for your explain but Can tell us what's that's kind of powder you using with the melting process?
and I'm greatfull for this video
with my best wishes
good luck .

Brian I think you are not a good fisherman LOL
I've been doing Auto-Body for 36 years now... It's hard to make Mcdonald's wages with my own shop... I need a hobby like this
Dose "fishing" translate to going to Vegas for a weekend at the lake.if you are coming home in dept and broke from fishing maybe you should try gambling lol.
@@kingoffoxez That's what I was thinking.
Which component is the white that is mixed with ore.
Hi. Could you tell me how I can melt galena (PbS). I used your method from this video. It didn't work out. The ore is not going to melt.
Which products add with powered
Hey guys, I live in las Vegas Nevada, but Nevadas known to be the silver state, and I am considering getting in to something like this and need help trying to find silver near the near by silver mines, any ideas on how & where to find silver ore in my home state
Which temperature in process
Scraping silver crust off of Galena in the pot is my go to, Cerillos NM mine tailings...
How did you make your furnace
Do you have any videos of you “roasting” the concentrates?
I think you just burn them in an old frying pan over a campfire until it stops smoking. Stir it up as you do it. As it cools it starts looking kind of rusty. Now its an oxide.

Awesome video! Is that all silver at the end. Man you did a great job showing the process.
Nice job thanks for sharing
Which product mix?
How pure would the silver nugget be do you think?
thanks for the video!
Was that button just silver? Every other video I have seen had a large amount of lead that needed to be cupelled.
Wander how much all that cost?,
Good morning, where did you get the hardware? Please post the links!
