I crushed a 10lt bucket of plus kitchen type strainer device tailings with positive results of ultra fine flour gold earlier this year. Still got another 10lt to crush. I concluded the same as you did. The gold is in the very small bits of quartz/ore.
Did you consider using your motorized crusher and pulverizing the cons to dust? Also, you've got that wheelbarrow full of who-knows-how-much cons from days gone by to crush and reprocess.
There is a bit more to it about quartz staying in the box. Two factors I can think of the top of my head are the hydrodynamic effect due to the shape of the bits, and the other is vacuum pressure. Whereas tiny bubbles are trapped under it, and the flow of the water can force a vacuum pull.
@@VoGusProspecting I know you’re referring to Stokes law but if you balance the equation the constant, gravity cancels itself out because it works equally on all particles. Surface area and shape however..
Merchantmarine guy I agree about use of pressure. But like the term energy high energy areas deposit bigger rock and gold pieces but low pressure ares deposit sand and little gold
Theory I've had for forever. So many times I've heard "bull quartz" only to see the same people crush it to sample float and find gold in it. Same light I always see hardrock ore that looks like the "bull quartz" they talk about so often. Or even the proverbial "it weathered out all the gold" trope when showing float, that again (same people) then crush what in one hand they say is bull and then right in the other they take the same "bull" and lo and behold...gold. I say if it looks right, crush it. Cheers! ❤🔥
yea lol its not that they are ignorant just want more gold less work and try to convince us(viewers) the thought they had were down the right line of thinking.. but dont tell us everything cause they know "better" . but hey. Mabie they just want to save it for a later vid or for themselves lol who knows.. i myself saw a video near me and went to go get some! it "wasnt right" but i got a lot hehehehhe
I have also pondered this idea, you know when you get a piece of quartz in your pan that just won’t wash back during a reveille. I’ll be taking them home from now on! Cheers
That is really cool! often while watching your videos you toss big mineralized quartz and I've always wondered if gold could be in it. I think this warrants more looking. Maybe collect enough for a 3lt bucket and run through the RC1?
Some quartz should be left in the sluice box due to the concept of hydraulic equivalence. Given the same flow, quartz will drop out together with gold, but the quartz will be much larger. However, to your point, most quartz does leave the sluice, so whatever is left should be the heavier quartz!
I figured after this many years of you doing it. That would have been one of the very first things I would have thought about looking in the quartz rock for gold. Yes you learn something new every day
I was literally thinking this exact thing as I was panning my highbanking cons on Saturday haha. I'll have to run them through the crusher! Good video Chris, thanks for sharing.
This is really interesting, I should keep any of the heavy concentrate and heavy rock in the pan, and crush it specially in gold producing district. We never know the real loss after decade if panning
That’s a very interesting experiment🤩 but unfortunately your still throwing away gold. But we can’t all own rock grinders like Jason from mbmm if you ran those cons through one of those I bet you’d double your take. Thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼
For the small quartz that stays in the sluice, the time and expense to process it is often not worth the payout. Think about all of the gold bearing rock that passes across the sluice or is tossed aside as being too large. It all has the potential to hold gold. It’s only the time and effort that it would take that keeps you from crushing up all the rock in the river. 🤣
But if he's processing them at home when he's home anyways then when he has free time then he would otherwise just be wasting quite a bit more gold by tossing the bits that are locked up
@@Geaxuce True. It’s all a balance of time and expense (electricity, equipment wear and tear, etc.) VS reward. Sure there’s gold going by- is it worth the effort? Hard to say. It’s probably why most miners look for nuggets, flakes, placer gold and that type of thing in a sluicing operation, rather than including an ore prospecting and processing operation at the same time. For a hobbyist, it might be fun and enjoyable. There’s no harm in that and I’m not saying it’s wrong, by any means. But, for someone looking at profitability to cover expenses, it might be a serious consideration.
@@Scott_Diverscott oh, for a full operation I agree it probably would be worth the time and effort. As for equipment wear and tear, probably the hardest thing for him to replace on his jaw crusher would be the moving plate. If he wanted to he could take both sides to get hardened and reduce the amount of wear they would face. Then it would just be a matter of replacing the axles as needed. His jaw crusher is actually really efficient for its job. Even without hardening, I don't see those plates going bad for a good while. Plus if you're really into PMA then it's like he's getting paid to work out lol
I am up in the hills above Lake Oroville California have My buddy has five acres of prime gold prospectors dream land. There is so much mineral rich ore there that you can't walk 10 feet without getting distracted by something with "bling" in it... They say that not only is that area rich in gold deposits, but also silver and platinum, as well as pyrite.... I have found some large quartz rocks, broke them open and found large dense veins of what looks to be gold, and when I crush and pan it out, it acts like gold and stays put in the bottom of the pan but it's more of a silverish/chrome look... would that be platinum? I can send pics of some of the quartz chunks with the veins... having a hard/frustrating time finding someone who is honest and trustworthy... also having a hard time finding a place that buys gold and platinum... any help would be greatly appriciated..
Nice I’ve thought the same but haven’t done anything about it, sulphide question are sulphides heavier than the black sands ? I ask because I have a spot or two that the silver sands are the last material to pull back before the golds, light sands first black sands next then silver sands and golds 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like ill be keeping my rocks in my cons as well. But makes you think about your whole setup. My highbanker is setup for nothing bigger than 3/8 inch. We have very few nuggets around here and 50 to 100 mesh gold. But used to be alot of stamp mills around here. Back to drawing board.
Giving it a thought, I can see some reason why a gold bearing specimen of quartz would be more competent than an iron bearing specimen simply because there is no additional chemical breakdown with gold.
Chris, you should try another experiment. You have now already a lot of experience with hardrock ore and you can try to find promising mineralized quartz pieces in the river as well. Why not spending some time looking for promising samples and crush them to see if they contain gold. Maybe a metal detector could help to sort out stuff. By the way, I always wonder why gold diggers never use a pinpointer, the one from Deus can be ground balanced and is able to find tiny targets like a buckshot bullet.
I started prospecting on 2 distinct spots (Antananarivo, Madagascar) all the signs were there (quartz, pebbles... Black snad) but no gold. What have I been doing wrong? Considering the earth crust of the highland where I live is way thicker than the one on coast
Year's of experience and still searching for the answer's. That is what makes something interesting and worthy of doing. If you knew it all then you could close the book nothing to see here's!!! We Got All of it. And the exciting thing is we're really just starting to understand what is really amongst and under us. This was a great product! Thank you.
Hey also that was a real good Idea,as it makes so much sence; especially in Reidy creek. ive watched you for years now and learn so much from your prospective. But all the fine flourgold comes from naturally crush ore through erosion and the floods fill your known areas for collection. so why wouldn't it be in the small pieces that didnt get small enough to be released back into the stream as flour gold. THATS FUCKING BRILLIANT MATE🤯🤯. so in closing I am sure if this just came to you on the shitter after 7 + years of prospecting then i probably wouldn't have come to that conclusion in double that time. this is not boring ,this is growth and i love it . Thanks for being so diligent in your continued search for Shine. Love your show.
Great video Chris! The area in Pennsylvania (USA) where I live has tons of quartz. Quartz is everywhere here. I see it all the time when I go rockhounding and looking for Native American artifacts. Maybe I should invest in a crusher and get to work! I think maybe I should start panning.
Hey, Chris. Just had this (potentially terrible) thought while watching this one. Have you done any water displacement measurements versus weight measurements on quartz chunks before? I'm kinda working through how this would work as I go, so please bear with me. Drop a chunk of quartz in a beaker of water, compare the volume before and after dropping it in, then put it on a scale. Compare how much a piece that size should weigh if it were just quartz. If it weighs more, possibly gold in it and worth crushing to see. Any merit in trying this, or am I completely off the mark? Not a prospector, but like watching the stuff you do.
I've got a piece of quartz I pulled from a river that feels very heavy. It's got lots of sulphides through it (marcasite and bornite) which are heavier than quartz, so probably not gold but you never know!! I should run a metal detector over it. :o)
Now you have me thinking. I have the same gold rat hand crusher you have, and a good bit of quartz from old sluice cons which I was also thinking why is that still in my sluice. I also have 6 buckets of random quartz I've picked up which I don't think has gold but needs testing. Just so much to crush by the hand operated jaw crusher. What are your thoughts on crushing down my black sands even finer? Would it be a waste of time by hand? Or i also have a small amount of mercury i sometimes put with my black sands in a tumbler and it has gotten chunkier im just not ready to refine it all back out as the mercury isn't full yet
the only issue i see with this is every shovel some of the bigger rocks stuck around and also every shovel blew out the rocks that stuck around from the last one
@@VoGusProspecting when you increase density you increase the number of atoms in the same space. How does that not increase weight? I have an element chart with actual materials. All are 1/2" cubes, are you telling me they all weigh the same? Your own statement about the quartz that it weights more than it should, so it must have gold or other metals in it.
@@VoGusProspecting what I'm saying is even the old gold miners flushed gold down the creek because it was too small to be sorted out. Why not think you may get a nugget that is to large to fit in the sluce and washed out.
Hi goofy Chris, I once asked you about black sand layers & gold deposits & U said Don't ask me where to find hold...I was just asking advice because I found an Ancient tertiary bed on a ridge of rounded rocks & Sandstone under it a few years back after I could walk again 40 miles away & 8 miles into the desert 🏜...Every millimeter of that Ancient sand(stone) has a Pixy layer of glitter & I have about a foot in inches long by 8" wide & an inch(8cm?) Thick, Beautiful 😍 🤩 specimen pieces!! I'm Still gonna send you a couple of Meteorites making them # 18& 19 in Australia...Rock on bro...Now I gotta talk to Gadzee, I accidentally stole his girlfriend WildBeare.
🤔Good afternoon Chris from north Cali I've been watching your videos for years your still the best on TH-cam you teach so many people how to mine and your good at it you should teach a class to show people how to mine and make money to just thought I'd throw that out there keep up the good work sir 👍🤓😎
I'd say that will be a great test to try with the dry blower as it mainly uses weight to separate all be it with a little air but lik u said the heavy things should be left behind. 👍🏴⚒️
As apposed to the sluice because the velocity of the water can still wash the gold bearing quarts away if the rocks are very rounded same way little round balls of gold rolls down the matt and away 👍🏴⚒️
i can tell you, yes, there's gold you can recover, but you'd get more from leaching. the problem is as i've seen in several other videos, a second cleanup, just as further refining usually isn't worth the trouble/expense. that's why there's so much gold left behind. great for hobby miners, bad for business. how much is your time worth? how fast can you afford to go? are you willing to spend more than the gold's worth for fun/bragging rights? these questions are what separate pro's from hobby miners. pro's get'er done, but hobby boys have more fun. 😎
Nothing like a science geek that actually gets his hands dirty. You nailed it again Chris.
I love when you think outside the box, fascinating stuff.
Nailing a couple rope handles on you home made sluce might work😊
I have screwed on cabinet handles for the same purpose, they work well. : )
I crushed a 10lt bucket of plus kitchen type strainer device tailings with positive results of ultra fine flour gold earlier this year.
Still got another 10lt to crush.
I concluded the same as you did.
The gold is in the very small bits of quartz/ore.
You can see gold still attached to rock in your close-up shots. Keep up the awesomeness and give Fern a treat for me!!
Did you consider using your motorized crusher and pulverizing the cons to dust? Also, you've got that wheelbarrow full of who-knows-how-much cons from days gone by to crush and reprocess.
He did say in an earlier video that he recrushed the cons from the barrow and got sweet fa
I think he panned the wheelbarrow already and nothing really to weigh up; not worth it.
I was thinking the same thing about the wheelbarrow. Lol
he got nuthin.
or close to it lol
Fair play to his panning skills then if he reran the material and found nothing. I'm useless and have to repan my slobber bags tailings twice 😂
😱😱😱
Mind Blown!
Great video and thanks for sharing

Some of the black sands can be sulphites. The Buzard used to smelt black sands every so often. And it was beneficial.
crushing the quartz that comes in paydirt often works a treat too

Indeed, I will be keeping a watchful eye out for that Quartz!
Very cool thanks for sharing and teaching right on
Always 😂😂
I've come to the conclusion that when I'm dumping out waste, it creates space for useful thoughts 😂👍🏻⚒️🏴
The best place for thinking, on the throne
So the quartz you captured in the sluice is basically like tiny species with specks of gold in it ?
For the small quartz that stays in the sluice, the time and expense to process it is often not worth the payout.

Mike and United States, I'm gonna talk with your Accent the rest of the day. I love what you're doing, man, thanks.
So is there an upsize sluice box coming to capture this -30 mesh stuff that's heavy? Maybe a nugget trap under a classifier in the beginning section?
nice to see videos on cloudy days. reminds me of your first videos on the channel.
I love the concept. Let's ask question of everything. Who know what answers we may get.
What is the stainless steel filings looking material that I'm finding in my flour gold and black sand samples? Any guesses?

Looks like a professional sluice Chris
Bring the crusher truck up there... And camp out for a week!
I just started pan handling but I'm not sure how to tell if I have gold in the pan or not. How I can tell if its gold or not?
That's how I found my first specimen :)
