I have never saw the inside of a mine my whole life. Only the outside with the heavy steel gates that are barricaded to keep people out. I has been a bucket list to see inside of a mine and what the raw materials look like in its natural form. I have a great admiration for gold & its beauty it glistens to naked eye. 🏔️
Great explanation Keith. Thank you. The flat pan stratification works the best for me as well. Dirty water and suspended micro fine particle losses is a problem with recycled water as it gets thicker with more volume of material. Keep up great work and thanks for your insight and knowledge.
All very interesting stuff Keith , nice panning technique , just a quick and cheaper way , as you said of getting a faster analysis of what you're dealing with , without all the Laboratory who ha . Great Demo 👍👍 I must try that panning technique some time , i still have a few bits n pieces buckets of uncrushed ore lying around . Cheers Ned . 👌👍
@@hardrockuniversity7283 Yes , i saw the Comment from Matt ie: Prospector Tripp , that Lars house burned down , That is very sad indeed . I have been watching the LA Wildfires , utter devastation , really tragic and it must be attributed to bad leadership mismanagement . Heads must roll for this . Trump warned Newsom years ago , but he would not listen .
Thank you for the tip to bring the charge back to the center of the pan. Who knows how much fine gold I've lost over the years by not ever doing it before 😬
Keith you make micro panning look easy. I'm trying your technique and it really works. Have you done any more experiments in getting rid of slimes before panning process.
The main trick involves classifying the feed down to about 1/8" minus and then using a mat that is optimized for fine gold recovery. The best we have tried seems to be the Devon Gold VDR mat. In our case the pulverization process needed to process hard rock both yields a fine feed AND tends to roll up the gold particles into more rounded shapes that are easier to recover.
Ahoi great paning video again :)) But why are you trying to film the screen of that digital microscope? They can record or send data to the computer, no?
@@hardrockuniversity7283 Yeah i know you don't like editing or even making videos in the firs place ;))) But really its very little work and would help the ones you want to teach so, so much. Most of them never even have seen a magnified substrate of any kind. How is Eva doing btw ... is her C. gotten better? Rock on! Greetings from Austria.
Great video but you can still see your gold that is more like flour gold, fly poop gold. Microscopic gold is flea poop gold can not be pan out imposible because its so tiny that it will be lost against the fine sand so as much that I would love to pan it out is just not going to happen I just move on to chemical analysis with strong acids and do my recovery that way. Your technique is perfect to recover flour gold but limited to microscopic gold because we basically don't see it in the pan and it is lighter than sand Thank you
Really good instruction with professional hard rock super fine gold panning.
Enjoyed much, Keith
Peace Prospector Tripp
Thank you Matt. The behavior is a bit counter intuitive at times.
Lars' house burned down in LA. Everyone out safe, not a panic evacuation.
Really enjoy all your videos. Your panning videos are hand down the best for micro gold.
Thank you
Wow, I never saw gold that is so so fine as this, thanks for sharing your passion with us Keith 👊💪✌️😆
You are most welcome, that is actually coarse for hard rock gold.

I wish that method worked on my beach gold !!! I like the way you show the technique 👍🏻
Your technique worked well, just not as fast. Balls are better than flakes also.
Nice gold!
Awesome instructions!
Thank you HB

It's not perfect, but it is useful. BTW, Lars' house used to be in LA

Try it the old way and then do the new way to the tailings. That will answer the question. When in doubt- test!
Cant improve on perfection--You got it!
Thank you Professor Keith and Eva for another exciting tiny fine Gold extraction (edu) Hard Rock University
You're welcome.
Keith you make micro panning look easy. I'm trying your technique and it really works. Have you done any more experiments in getting rid of slimes before panning process.
It is important to have something approaching water instead of mud to pan the gold. Crushed rock is usually not too bad.
I had no idea you could capture that fine of gold in a slice. Could you please show us how you use a slice to capture this ultra fine gold ?

Sure can, but another few steps.

Greetings from Austria.
What is the name of the microscope that looks like a pen? I want to buy one of these.
This is the link- www.geionline.com/magnifiers-microscopes/microscopes/mns-0210-20/ I use the 40x model with.001" increments.

Yerp, somewhere between 500 and 1000 mesh it loses it's effectiveness.
