Extracting Gold from Rocks!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- These quartz rocks had real gold in them! Running a hard rock gold ore sample from my Olalla claim to see what kind of gold value's it contains. After running this sample I estimate the ore to have about 5 grams per tonne. Not a very rich quartz seam, but enough to keep looking in the area. This was the last day I had to run the Icon i150 centrifugal concentrator as the icon was just on loan for a year and had to be returned to be sold.

This video is produced by Dan Hurd, Prospector, Miner, Teacher and TH-camr, as part of his TH-cam channel based on educational videos about gold mining, gold panning, prospecting, rock hounding, and mineral collecting.
I love the relationship you have with your pop, Dan. You guys seems to really enjoy each other’s company and enjoy what you do together. Your family dynamic is so cool. ❤️
Awesome videos Dan. I love the fact that you spend time with your father and involve him in you life. God bless you and your family.
Great to see you out with your Dad, Dan. Thank you both for sharing.
Of course we love watching its dan Hurd and his DAD THAT MORE THAN WORTH WILE TO watch
Wow Dan your Dads so cool he seems to position himself in such a way that he is in optimal strategegic position to keep an eye on all the workings and above all else you! So cool
You know you are a really good person with a good personality , and i prayed for you when you were sick,wish you all the best mate.
NICE JOB ! YOUR VERY LUCKY TO ENJOY THE HOBBY YOU GOT. I CAN ONLY WISH TO DO WHAT YOU DO. YOU SEEM TO MAKE ME SMILE AND THAT MAKES MY DAY. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP ON MAKING THESE VIDS. THANKS DAN .
Nice machine Dan and nice video
Always enjoy your videos. I've actually seen about 90% of them at least once. When I finish watching all my subs every day I go back and watch older videos of the ones I like best
AYE BIG SHOUT OUT BIG DAN!!! LET'S GO GET SOME SHINNY!!! AWESOME TO SEE BROTHER, AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHERS, GREAT JOB, WELL INFORMED, CONSISTENT AND DEFINITELY DEDICATED TO YOUR CRAFT!!! KEEP UP ALL THE GREATS WORKS😲😲🍺🍻🥂😍😎😂🤣🍶🍾🥃🔥🔥🍀🍀🍀!!! AMEN, "CHEERS"!!!
Listened to the video in the car. Boy that icon does make some beautiful sounds. I'm happy I got to see you use this machine many times before you had to give it back. Like always love the video and cant wait for the next one! Much love from California.
Thank you!
We were all thinking "Dammit, Dan! Just dump the whole bucket in and stop screwing around!" Well, you did, and you jammed up the works. That'll teach us!
You should always keep the jaws that full with material it's more efficient
Love your videos. Makes me want to go down the creek bed and see what i can find. But love gems, etc. And fun to find them or buy when i can. TY. 💞
Hei Dan one door closes, and a new one opening, I'm feeling sad 4 u but your friend give a big "gift" to you, now he needs your help, I know ur a good man 👍
Wow, Dan, that was very, very interesting. The look under the microscope was amazing. Thanks for the show !!!!
The Icon works good and with beautiful gold as a result. I could do that all day. Thanks Dan. Sorry to see it go but you were fortunate to have had a chance to use it.
After studying the Montana gold explorations for the last 150 years I've found that 19th century geologists out here were very primative in their explorations. I'd bet they only found the stuff laying on the surface in many places. There's a lot of gold still laying around the west unfound.
this is totally amazing I have never panned for gold before nor have I ever been in a Gold Mine only online
I used icon at 2012, it still need Need concentrator table instead panning then process the middling ore with environment friendly chemical to get the rich solution then precipited the gold with many ways such using smb, oxalat acid, zinc, aluminium etc tks
It would be soooooo cooooool if Dan Hurd and the Gridlessness channel made a collab video!
Dan, thanks for always sharing such cool stuff!
I would enjoy that too. Maybe next year?
I know I look forward to it!! 🙂
Well it was very nice of the gentleman to let you use the machine for a year-and-a-half now what will you do do you lose your rock Crusher too? And if so how will you crush Rock looking forward to your next video I learn a lot:-) peace
Running the Icon wouldn't be the same without your dad being there. Glad he made it!
Hey iam from india give yr no.
I have some weather proof oil and gas electrical connection that would make it safer! I don’t mind donating them. Just need shipment payments. Collecting dust. Two 30 amps for sure. Not sure if I have a 50 amp.
I came back from camping to see a new video pop up! Awesome stuff! Keep it up Dan!
Shucks, sad to see Icon go. At least we get to see it's last run for you. Didn't see any evidence of soap in your panning tub. Have you ever utilized a shaker table? Anyway love your videos will be waiting for the rest of the days work. Thanks and God Bless👍
I would love to play with a shaker table, but have not got my hands on one yet.
Love all your videos. Always something to learn. Love watching
Thank you
Love to watch your video's!!! Thanks! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇱🇺
Thank you!
sir Dan Thnks for sharing this information regarding gold on hard rock god bless u sir Thnks for sharing this vedio.
Thanks for the time being spend to us
I'm looking forward to seeing you run the crush into a long sluice box and see how well it will recover straight off the crushers. 18:51 look at that tiny diamond.
Hi Dan. When you were panning the water was hitting the back of the material and taking some of a thin line of black sand with it. I've been painstakingly avoiding this in a bid to not lose any precious metal..... which is thus far somewhat elusive here in southern Western Australia... Am I being too cautious?
Thank you. Love the show for all the content and the company you keep.
Sorry to see the Icon go, how will you crush your hard rock now ? By hand or just an impact mill from previous video's...
How about shaking the entire hopper with tailings and then just reprocessing the bottom 1" layer?
If you can get it to stratify properly any gold should sink down right?
Have to say your setup is very nice looks very well thought out.
Going to miss the ICON video's
thanks again Dan!
I always eagerly await your videos Dan. Another great one!!😀
I am just curious about how you get all your claims?? I am in Oregon USA and am trying to find a river claim to purchase and don't really know how to go about getting one.. bit I love watching your videos, I watch everyone that you put out... Thank you for hours of intertai ment....
Awesome as always Dan the man
Awesome video Dan!! Thanks
wow cool dan
Thanks!
Thank's Dan!!!; )
Hi Dan.. Got to this one late today... Was thinking, on the output of the mill for the concentrates, why not have it feed through a Green Mountain Gold Trap? That should build into the mix well - no?
Praise the lord!
We’re back!
I’ve been watching and waiting for the Hard Rock mining!
Icon is going away.. 🙁
Getting a Shaker Table or another concentrator?
I built a ore concentrator loosely based on an old Keene concentrator. It’s been almost perfect at concentrating the ore. I can add several buckets of finely crushed ore with very little loss of very tiny micron size gold!
Check it out sir it may be a good inexpensive alternative to a shaker table or a replacement icon type unit!
BTW.. the gold you showed would be captured 100% in my concentrator!
As always thanks much!
✌️

I do have a plan to replace it until I get something else better.
I have a 3 inch rock that has a vein of iron or red rock and I can see gold all in this rock!! Do I have to crush or how can I get these nuggets out and stay as big as I see now?? Please get back to me I can send a pic.
Hey there Dan bummer you got to give the “Icon” back sad day. I love this set up and with that being said are going to take down the whole mill? Or could you do a series of large sluices after the icon is gone? What’s the next step? Thanks much I have a note book and I take detailed notes from all your videos. Keep them coming sir!
Yes. Very, very sad.
I'm guessing the setup will stay put, and your sluice recovery system prediction will be correct.
The Dream Mat guys are saying crazy stuff about their mini dream mat (which I own), and I believe them. They say that people who use rock crushers are using it, and even ditching leaching systems in favor of it. I'd be interested to see how those claims hold up against Captain Red Beard's testing, though.
I have a replacement plan in place! You will see it in future videos.
I gotta convince the dream mat people to send me some!
Dan Hurd sweet I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve
I have lots of videos to work through, just what I need another youtube addiction. It is fun to watch as you do a lot in areas close by to where I live. Have you done any prospecting in the fairview and Mckinney areas around Oliver? Thanks for sharing.
A bit up rock creek by mckinney
You are already set up with the icon ,I know you said you have something else in mind ,if it does such a great job,why did you not buy it.
Im freaking hooked on your channel! Awesome stuff man!
Glad to hear it!
hey friend give these a little lost I hope this all good regards from Dominican Republic
All you need to drown out the sound of the Gen N Crush Ride at Dan's Golden Amusement Park . Would be one of those Ghost Boxes . Lol . Great Vid Dan .
I like Dan Hurd because he is so positive
Well done Dan...................
God dang, every time I see this set up im always envious lol. Keep on keeping on.
Hello, Professor, regarding the quantity of quartz stones, 50 kilograms, how many grams of gold can be extracted from them, produced through chemical precipitation? Thank you for the information.
Love the icon 👌 great video cobber 🍻🍻
So with the icon goin away, are ya goin to set up a shaker table or something else? Love the videos yall be safe out there.
Thanks for sharing this
Cheers Tony.👍🤓⛏🍺
Awesome video Dan, thank you.
Do you add anything to the water for the small dust gold to stick curious
Loved it! However, it does remind me a little of a Frankenstein monster movie with a mad scientist and all the contraptions and gizmos just to bring a little gold back to life. LOL! Keep having fun, we enjoy the heck out of it!
Your getting my sub just for the beard✌🏻🤣
Love the Icon Dan. Sorry to see it go. What can we whip up to replace it?
I'm at 6:02 in the video and screaming "don't process wet material in the jaw crusher!" We just spent half a day cleaning ours out. It'll make a cement - almost - and it won't fall through as it's crushed. I'm writing this not knowing what will happen in your case Dan. Pushing play to see if I'm right or wrong.
Now at 10:24 and Dan's rock crushing went off without a hitch. I think I know the difference. We were feeding in a batch that was already crushed that had formed a paste around the smaller bits of rock. I guess larger wet pieces don't clog. Just don't ever feed stuff in that's already been crushed with wet finely crushed residue on it - you'll regret it.
Now at 14:24 and the sounds of Dad taking apart the clogged impact mill - funny to me after having been through this experience just yesterday.
Love your videos, Dan!!!
So we were on a claim earlier this summer, and it had recently been logged, making it very easy to prospect. Because of all that clearing, it exposed a really nice section of bedrock. Within that bedrock (from above, not the side) I found a large amount of mineralized, super rusty orange, rotten quartz. The deeper I dug, the more orange it got. I kept a pail full of that material (which this video reminded me of), still have to process it when I get a crusher. Is there a chance that that could be the start of a larger quartz vein hidden underneath?
Thanks for the video dan!
Dan Hurd for president .... 😊
Killed it again Dan
enjoyed this video today dan is that gold a totally differant colour its more darker gold or is it just me lol and is it worth all that work for that amount of gold you got from it?anyway look forward to your next video keep em comin x
The gold value is tiny, the information value is priceless.
@@Danhurd of course i never thought about it that way!! i cant believe that machine broke down the stones like that its amazing shame it has to be given back i totally enjoyed watching the process of it x
nice video Dan, so what are you going to using then if he sells the ICON? do you have your own equipment cheers
I have a replacement plan in the works.
An amazing machine & a good lesson on hard rock mining. Have you thought of buying the machine from your friend?
Awesome! Can’t wait to watch it all!
Excellent
That was amazing!! Thanks for sharing Dan The Long Beard Panning Man !
I have a querts/red iron ore bolder in my backyard and idk what to look for or use to find out if it holds gold in it?
After panning the Icon black sand you mention "lots and lots of fine gold" but show us very little gold. How are we to interpret your evaluation of the Icon machine being such a good product with such a poor showing in this example?
well dan that was semi painful, nice little set up for crushen stuff.
Great machine, Fantastic video Dan! See you on the next one.. Happy hunting sir!! 👍
Thank you!
Have you ever bought gold ore and refined it through the chemical process? Also, assuming you already have the chemicals and equipment, is it worth it to get 1000 gram "rich gold ore" for $13? If you know anything about the chemical refining process, could you explain what gram value that one could expect from a 1000 gram "rich gold ore". Thanks in advance. I really enjoy watching your videos.
David Lemkuil no you will get a 0.001 of a gram
Woot!!!
Gold!!!!
Exactly!
Sad to see the Icon go.
What are you going to use in the future to crush and process the rocks/ore?
As always, the nature is gorgeous!😍
I have a plan in place, and you will see it in future vids.
Keep the great videos coming! 🧲🎣🇨🇦
Thanks
Always my fav gold ch !!!!!
Thank you!
Dan, I enjoyed the video, but, now I have a question. In the gold shown in the microscope there was a large piece of metallic brown gold material, is that gold? If so, what makes it brown? Thank you Dan.
I'm not sure about the one odd piece in there. It looks out of place.
For a cost breakdown on the icon and product moved, is it a good investment. The icon looks amazing.
cost of icon must be too expensive, Dan used it for 1.5 years and still didn't buy it.
I found a quartz crystal and it has weird silver flakes and gold flakes threw it .. I need help identify it??
Always a good time when were finding gold and hanging out by a river. :)
HI Dan, Too bad you got to loose such a sweet set up but you had a good run. Always fun watching, thanks eh
Dang bummer the icon's leaving. Nice shots of that beautiful hard rock gold
Uncle, I'm very interested in chasing nature. good luck
@Dan Your link for the gold panning kit doesn't work. Do you have another. Id like to give you the affiliate sale.
Hey Dan great video. Sad to see the icon go but was a really neat journey while you had it. What’s your next step now? Do you have a different setup to use with the hammer mill?
Yep plans already in the works
Your a real Dutchman. Its nice to have this machine but i do not see enough gold to pay for it!
How do you get the gold out of the rock that is still in the Rock after you crush it
Nice gd from the icon thank you for sharing
You’d be happy to know you were mentioned by another blogger.. gridlessness as they were prospecting for gold.
That is a really cool machine. I live in an area where they’ve been mining for gold for over 100 years. I was hiking with my son and had my minelab 800 with me and found quite a few rocks with quartz in them! I really want to crush them up and see what’s inside! What’s the cheapest way that I can do that?
A hammer and gold pan
square tubing with a base and a hammer drill with a chisel bit that you have welded a base on
That was fun. Shouldn't watch it when I'm hungry though. Looked like yummy beef cubes or seafood. Gotta go eat now.
I think I’ve founded a few black stones containing shiny sand like gold. Is it truly gold?. I can share the video if you don’t mind.
Very cool!
I really appreciate your videos.
Thank you
I have questions. I'm not trying to sound sarcastic, I'm just trying to get educated. Is it worth all of this work and money spent to get such little gold? And is this just searching for a spot that may have a huge amount? I've watched a lot of your videos and I've never seen anything that made it worth your time, unless, of course if it's just a hobby of yours. I can tell you love what you do
