  • Getting the gold out of ‪@Askjeffwilliams‬ super high grade ore. I visited one of Jeff's gold mines on a previous video and we found some amazing high grade gold ore and free gold specimens. Jeff mailed me back 4 bags of the good stuff and we are going to get the gold out by crushing, panning, and using a shaker table. Once we get it down to the super concentrates then we can smelt them down and get the gold button and find the ounces per ton.

    Oh YEAH ....you know we have been waiting for this one ...We saw that Wulfenite too when we were inspecting it ..... it works great as a collector metal when smelting as it is a lead mineral ... love the experiment my friend ....thats was pretty cool... thanks Jason we are really glad you could make it out with us on that trip and hope to make it up there to see your operation .....really appreciate you taking the time to run the material so we know what we have. Take care my friend and keep'em coming

    I spent a summer in south west Colorado in 80', we panned from Wolfcreek to the Notch on Kenibeck Pass (don't know how to spell it, North of Durango in the La Plata Mts.). I always believed that we had more gold than we thought because there were samples that had silver and lead in them but we never bothered to have someone who knew how to separate the gold. I was told The companies that did, did not work small amounts so it was not worth the money.
    Watching your channel and Jeff's channel, for me, is like being in a happy time machine. We did not make any money but man was I in good shape for 2-a-days at the Fort ( Fort Lewis College in Durango).

    Drying your stuff works better if you do:
    Shop vacuum intake covered with a strong cotton towel that is zip tied or whatever making a little socket in the intake tube. Then you add your shop paper towel and pour your material in, THEN turn on the vacuum once you have made sure your not going to suck in the towel and lose your wet sample. a few seconds of that and you should have a fairly dry sample

    Hi Jason. I've been watching all your videos and enjoying learning something new and cool. Always exciting when you have a new production. There's something about the big shaker table that's mesmerizing to me. Maybe you can put together a compilation of the table as a satisfying video (you know, because editing is so much fun lol) … but seriously yes please!! You do wonderful closeups of the materials being processed. And the knowledge you're sharing is simply awesome stuff and I feel like I'm learning about things in life that really matter!

    I haven’t seen or heard of a shaker table since school 50 years ago. We went on a field trip to a tin mining museum in Cornwall (🇬🇧), freshly acquired tin ore was crushed and the delivered to a shaker table- a whitish greyish silver line for tin, a black line for arsenic, and the rest was crap. I never realised how much arsenic we produced back in the time of steam. I think, at the time of the field trip all but 2 or 3 Cornish tin mines had been closed through competition- 2 or 3 out of maybe hundreds. Everything flooded and now apparently that flood water is full of recoverable lithium.

    I need to do a fire assay on my black sands. The material I'm panning is heavily weathered glacial moraines. LOTS of black sands, and very fine flakes of gold. I also see many dust-sized grains. The gold is coming out of hydrothermal quartz with streaks of hematite and galena crystals through them. So it's very fine and tiny, hard to pan out of the heavy black sands, which also have gold dust trapped inside (an HCl dissolve after roasting a small sample released some fine gold powder).

However, Jeff's Gold Bug and Gold Monster seem to be more reliable & sensitive for gold, judging from watching his prospecting videos. From my armchair, I'm gonna say one of those might be worth the money to purchase.

    Whenever you suspect scheelite, lamp it with shortwave UV. Scheelite fluoresces an intense bluish white.

    Some of that wulfenite, actually has a translucent appearance under the scope.

    UV works well to pick both scheelite and wulfenite, great videos, love your content.

    hi Jason, I've learned soo much from you. i would like to recommend an XRF analysis machine so that you can tell accurately the composition of the raw mineral ore and the final processed product. you can also evaluate the performance of the different XRF machines available. thanks for your lessons.

    A Falcon MD-20 is invaluable for finding the good rocks. You have one of them don't yah? I'm also still rockin the GM4B it still works for the bigger chunks.

    That is a very fine gold mine there. Thanks again for sharing all the details. I learn more with every video you make :)

    I bet you could fool a lot of people with that "fine gold" back in the day... :P Maybe if you get a spectroscope you can take a reading what elements are in the heavy yellows.
    I really like your rock crushers and shaker tables. I saw your videos before when i was looking for rock crushers for concrete aggregate.
    Greetings,
    Jeff
    p.s.
    A lot of mining books are on my book/archive page.

    To find specimen gold, you’d do far better with a falcon MD20 than you can with that White’s detector. The MD20 isn’t great if searching a large area but nothing better if looking for specimen gold in rocks.

    looked like high silver content, but tungsten is really cool, price it out.

    the rocks were liquid many years ago then turned to fossil rock that's how the gold got into the rock

    "Wettened"... that's my new word of the day. "My plants were needing some water, so I wettened them". Love this channel - followed Dan Hurd's adventures to find it.
