you need to learn how to anneal your gold. You hammer so far and stop before it cracks. then heat the gold with the torch and dip in water or let it cool slowly in ashes. one makes it hard and one makes it soft.. you dip cherry red steel in oil to make it hard. and cool the steel in still air and ashes makes steel soft.. but copper is opposite. you dip in water to make soft. but the more you mechanically work a metal, the more annealing you need to do. a little heads up to a brother. love your shows. thank you. Just try letting the gold cool down slowly. No Quench. See if that helps soften the gold.
My 16 yo son and I melted down some scrap gold he’s collected. He purchased a rolling milling machine. We turned his 10g gold into a fat gold ring. It was amazingly simple. We also did the same with some silver. I don’t take you for the jewelry type of guy but i bet Mrs. Wizard would love some new bling! Happy new year buddy!
Jason... I have said it before on my old yt, and I will say it again. Thank you for all that you do. Your good moods and the pups always make a little happier. It's always a great time. Hug the pups and don't forget about the old dry crick bed. 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Gold, fire acid, hammering and beer.... Now that is my kind of day! Can't wait until the 6 inch heads make production, I have a dream mat sluice just begging for one
@@FlourgoldWizards You are very welcome Jason,hopefully that can put some PBR in the fridge or whatever you would like really.Happy New Year Flour Gold Wizard Family.
I love your Chanel man, I bet your never in a bad mood. You’re so full of happy you remind me of my cousin I don’t have a relationship with any more but always happy and laughing. Thanks for sharing your prospecting and joy
@@FlourgoldWizards I hear ya there I’m a production manager at a glass company in Utah, but still I can see who is a happy person and who’s not and I’d say you are… happy new year man 👍
Hey Jason, this is a lot better than the last time I saw you smelting. The improvement is impressive. I'm happy you are going the acid refining route as well. I watch a lot of sreetips refining and he has made every mistake for you over the last 12 years. I can't wait to see your setup and your first aqua regia refining.
Great vid Jason , very entertaining my friend , hope you got one of those white silicate melt dishes coming , guaranteed will melt that gold in a few minutes with Map gas . Maybe could heat your coin to flatten it and before stamping it might help , wear welding gloves though , don't wanna get burned . Happy New Year for 2024 Bro , and to all the FGW Team . Keep up the great work . 👍👍✔✔Cheers Nev ✌
Happy New Year! I don't know anything about melting gold but when you quench metal in cold water it hardens it and makes it brittle. You might want to try letting it cool down slowly or putting it an oven for awhile then let it cool down slow.
Jason thank you, Mrs Wizard, the pups.., for a wonderful 2023 of gold prospecting, education, humor.. Happy New Year from Allan and Monica in Columbia, SC!
I think you should do a video using Coors extra gold beer for your water in your gold mining sluice boxes. Gold beer will attract more flower gold. It would make a good slap stick video for extra entertainment value.
Nice vid Jase, its cool to see you progressing on to additional methods related to the hobby! You do a great job of having fun trying out all the various aspects and tools available so we can all learn! Happy New Year to the FGW crew and Ms/Jr Ms Wizards, too 🎉
The cracking will tend to be from heat treatment or work hardening. Heating it up to below red heat will make the pounding flat part easier. Also WH-40 on molds and tools will work as a mold release. When hot, it decomposes to a carbon film.
Great video Jason, I love the six inch smooth water header. Love watching your cleanups and the FGW gold coin gets a Holly Wa!! Thanks again Jason and Happy New Year. I was late to view the video today. Just got back from getting a cap for my truck. Could probably use some FGW team stickers to put on it. Great video 👍
Happy New Year to you Jason, I am instinctively washing and sloshing my phone as I watch during your cleanup, starting out 2024 right! Heavy and shiny pans!
That looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for showing us your process to get those cool FGW coins. Happy New Year!🎉 Look forward to your adventures in 2024 ⛏️ 🍺🍺cobbles 🤠
Your camera seriously makes everything look like gold. 😂 when u emptied sluice into pan it looked like 95% gold on screen 😂 maybe if I had a camera like yours I’d find more gold lol😂
A Happy and a Prosperous New Year to you all! As transam301turbo peg it, Jason try annealing the button before stamping it will stop the cracking. Cheers.

Hi Jason,I have been enjoying your videos for awhile now and just joined up on Patreon and I’m glad to finally be a member.I look forward to your future videos and Happy New Year and I have a gift for the PBR Fridge of Wonder.Good stuff Jason,later buddy.
Great job! I melt avionics pins down myself. Great yield the only problem is the acid fumes turns everything around rusty. Do the acid outside with a hood fan! Be careful!!!!
Happy new year Jason and the boys. I spotted a video of someone saying they were refining some of your gold. Glad you're stepping that way. Once you get set up you will know how to remove the crust after your smelt. Thank you
Happy New Year Jason ! You could propably melt down the tailings from the fridge of wonders once a month for some added content to your already fabulous channel 😅 . Good luck finding that mother load in the upcoming season 😊
pretty cool its tough to stamp coins of any sort. a little tip do it on floor less bouncing that takes away half your stamping power. That's as technical as i'm getting lol was fun to watch
If you anneal the "coin" after hammering flat by heating to red hot and quenching again it will soften the metal again to make stamping easier. Also if you anneal/quench the metal while hammering it flat it will help prevent the cracks. Hope that helps out. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Years
Happy New Years Jason and Family! Man it's so great seeing that much gold. I think you need a furnace like Jason at Mount Baker Mining and Metals uses. As far as stamping I think I'd put the sledge on the concrete floor so it doesn't bounce quite so much? Not sure if that would help or not.
I think you’re exactly right about the bouncing… ive done it down there and it really does work better…. Im working on a furnace but need to save up a little, the kind i want has a nice big front door which will make things easier but its $700 😭
