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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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 :)

Not bad. He only spent about sixty dollars to get twenty dollars worth of silver. At least he's doing something he likes and it keeps him off the streets.
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!
I just subscribed! I have a bunch of concentrates that have to be assayed but once that happens Im gonna k6 em'. If I could afford the "black scorpion", I would love to do that too. I made my own rock crusher already.... thanks again!
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.
friend hello top your video, how do I extract the pladium from the rock and find out the content....make a video...I'm from Brazil, I wanted to learn I have rock that contains palladium...
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
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.
If you mix silver oxide with sugar in water, the silver oxide will turn into just silver. It's a highly exothermic reaction. The water can boil. The silver will go from black to grey.
Think about this, look at all the steps and procedures he had to go through to extract this silver, no major feat by todays standards one might say. What I would like to know is how did primitive man ever figure out how to do this. How did he know there was silver in the rock in the first place, to me it just looked like a rock. it's amazing to me that people with little more than rocks and fire were ever able to decipher this. A very good video very informative, thank you for sharing.
But you have to remember that primitive man found silver gold an other metal melting already in progress. For them it was first warms that they were after once it cooled they played with it, it value was not done until later. If they did not know it was in short supply they would not be wearing it as jewelry..But then this metals don't keep there edge so why bother other then as a gift for the one you love.
Many ores were first used as pigments and glazes for pottery. You get the pottery kiln too hot and the glaze might sweat metal. And, metallic copper is found in ore deposits, so there's another hint.
mcdradus Doubt early man knew much about smelting ore,this is a far later invention. Silver and of course gold can be found in their natural shiny state.
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.
Hello, i would like to try this myself, and was wondering about the ore. Is it a specific type? How could i buy some, and know whether it had a high silver yield like the ore in this video?
I love the shop, the process, and yes...he could be more animated while speaking but....he is good!...just wear long denim pants and boots. You never know, something can fall and drop. Just sayin'
*Getting back to basics, how was it determined the rocks had silver in them? chemical test? with all the metals in the world how is it determined that the rock contains any ore?*
When you were making this did you say that your end result was 29gr of 50% pure silver? that's only about $9 worth of silver. How much did it cost you for your time & supplies? I must be missing something.
He ran 60g of concentrates to get nearly 30g Silver. He said his concentrates are running 50% Silver. That is EXTREMELY rich ore. You are looking at a small pilot mill op for prospecting/testing etc. He could and should easily upscale from here if he chooses. Hat's off to the Man.
Perhaps if you get some flat pieces of very thin aluminum, cut them into the length of the inside of the jar. And then bend them so that they are like little veins. Glue two of them or four, inside the length of the inside of the jar. Then when you roll it they mix better
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
Can you please make a video about getting iridium metal either from copper ore,or from gold ore or at least just from platinum?I am actually getting that stuff from spark plugs and I know that some guys get it from some similar stuff as well but I've never seen how it's actually produced from anything natural!And by the way it will be the first ever TH-cam video of such a challenging stuff being done!😉 Really quite a challenge!
سلام استاد من یک جا سنگ های پیدا کردم بعضیا مثل طلای رنگ میدرخشند و بعضیا در حالت پوک شده با دست فشار میدی پودر ماسه ای میشن و بعضیا که یک کم محکم است با مشعل گاز دستی حرارت میدم کلن دون دون براق طلای رنگ میدرخشند سنگ میترکه پودر میشه پودرها کلن عین طلا میدرخشند بعد ميندازم داخل نیتریک چند روزی ماند اصلن به اون طلای رنگها هیچ واکنشی نشان نمیده حتی انداختم اسید سولفوریک اون هم مثل نیتریک هیچ واکنشی نشان نمیده آیا طلای واقعی هستن
Hi sir, you've very interesting video. If you don't mind, please complete this video with how to separate the silver ores with another minerals. I mean, you would make 99% of silver. Thank's
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
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'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.

I wanna actually do this... I just don't have a source of any precious metal ore :(
Fantastic setup! It's amazing how much more efficient the process is when you've got the tools of the trade.
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.

Thanks for the video
Very nice work here
this was the best detailed video I have found. appreciate all the information. look forward to watching more.
Very detailed explanation! Good job and may all your mining dreams come true!
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
That was great, nice job on the process. You are very methodical and efficient and it produces quite nicely. Keep up the good work!
"This is Tom Burdet, and we'll leave the light on for ya."

I’m super impressed, I’d love to get into this, I love silver!! Two thumbs up.
We have silver in the countryside where I live, this is good info. Best of luck my brother, may your fortunes be many.
To be able to see silver produced from a 1 man setup like that would be one hell of an awesome feeling, cool video
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.
Well done great video damn that’s some good ore you have! Thank you for sharing!
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!.
This was so great to watch and very interesting thank you 🙏 👍😊
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.
Great start to finish demo. Thank you.
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!

Great job with the demo , great life skills
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.
Fascinating. Why is this so satisfying to watch??
You did not lie about your ore. High grade indeed.
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 just watched silver mine ore days ago, thanks for showing but long process with the price,
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.
Not bad. He only spent about sixty dollars to get twenty dollars worth of silver. At least he's doing something he likes and it keeps him off the streets.
Wow! this is really interesting. I didn't realize all the steps this takes.

Excellent video! Amazing!
There's so many ways to process silver it's incredible
Great video! Always have been inspired to try this someday
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.
Thank you very much for your video. Looking forward to your roasting video. God bless you.
Yes sir that IS cool....have to check out the miller table...

Wow ! Great button! Nice job!
Nice work was cool to watch thanks
Was that button just silver? Every other video I have seen had a large amount of lead that needed to be cupelled.
Probably the coolest thing I've seen for a long long time

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.

Hey Patrick! Do you still smelt silver ore? I have tons and I mean tons of this ore!
I have tons of it also and don't know what to do with it. I can't seem to get it to melt all the way
Hello, i would like to try this myself, and was wondering about the ore. Is it a specific type? How could i buy some, and know whether it had a high silver yield like the ore in this video?

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?
Hi don't be tired sorry i wanted to know the name you used to make the gold in the stone
Awesome video. Thanks
Appreciate the video. Thank you sir !
wonderful, instructive safety stressed video...thank you sir for sharing your skills

Have you tried roasting and smelting the tailings?
Does it always set a detector off? Some i find does and some dont.
I will do very soon insha allaaah
Great video! thank you for sharing!

Arsenopyrite (while burning) produces poisonous sulfur and arsenic fumes which, if inhaled in large quantities, can be fatal.
That was really interesting. Thank you.
سلام استاد من یک جا سنگ های پیدا کردم بعضیا مثل طلای رنگ میدرخشند و بعضیا در حالت پوک شده با دست فشار میدی پودر ماسه ای میشن و بعضیا که یک کم محکم است با مشعل گاز دستی حرارت میدم کلن دون دون براق طلای رنگ میدرخشند سنگ میترکه پودر میشه پودرها کلن عین طلا میدرخشند بعد ميندازم داخل نیتریک چند روزی ماند اصلن به اون طلای رنگها هیچ واکنشی نشان نمیده حتی انداختم اسید سولفوریک اون هم مثل نیتریک هیچ واکنشی نشان نمیده آیا طلای واقعی هستن
Fantastic Video and explanation Pat!!!!
If there is arsenopyrite which is a sulphide of arsenic on the ore i wouldnt be touching its dust with my fingers
9:00 you mix it with 60g of Phlox?Borax? The hissing sound of the stove takes it off.
Flux. General melty stuff that causes the metal to mix. Borax is used a lot as a flux.
i was looking for a guide on how to smelt silver in world of warcraft.. guess this will do it
lol I was just thinking this guy is more monotone than WowCrendor
Roy Smith im currently smelting metal on ARK
Roy Smith i
This is even better!
I smelted hella silver in wow. its pretty self explanatory
Good explanation
Great video......if I just had a property with silver ore.
Hi sir, you've very interesting video. If you don't mind, please complete this video with how to separate the silver ores with another minerals. I mean, you would make 99% of silver. Thank's
Wander how much all that cost?,
1 oz. of silver is worth what $35 ?
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
So he's the one who played the can teacher in monsters university
R u still doing some mining out in Idaho?
pretty good! for sure
Does this process not required cupellation?
What a great video sir!
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 .
Hi, It is ordinary Borax Soap.
At 10:05 he got real excited and started shaking uthe container but then calmed himself then just started to rolling the concentration mixed
Couldn't see your eyes. Do you wear eye protection when opening that kiln?
