I smelted pyrite without roasting and yielded an iron button that dissolved in water. Today I will try the roasting and reconcentrate before smelting. Can I just use the white flux that came with the Kwik Kiln to go directly to a button?
Your missing the vibrator - to make your miller table into a shaker miller table , a lot less work & time ? I recycled a hospital bed that had a motor-vibrator on the bottom and use that to shake , also using a motor/controller to vary the frequency of the shaking .
Concentrating the concetrates. I tried putting roasted iron pyrites in a ball mill for 2 days with mercury. It didnt amalgamate with gold. Any idea why? I like this idea with the magnets. Will be trying tomorrow.
great vid mate , yeah i don't throw anything away until iv'e raped everything out of it i can iv'e floated crushed ore ,and roasted crushed ore ,the only thing i haven't done yet is smelt any of my samples , i gotta get more into that. Even my black sand concentrates i soak in borax for about a week ,iv'e crushed it up with a cast iron mortar and pestle and you can miller table or carefully pan it out a tablespoon at a time and the gold specks in the black sand show up because you've flattened them with the mortar and pestle .It really is surprising just how much is in it sometimes , i always say if you throw away your black sand then your throwing away gold .great work anyway thanks for sharing .
So helpful 😊

если рассматривать как способ медитации, годный девайс, но как добыча, то это дрочево.
