17:30 Rich Gold Ore - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Years ago, I was an Installer of A/V equipment in the Detroit area, and we worked through rebar concrete construction ... we drilled it with Diamond coated SDS drill bits and alternated to steel when the progress slowed down due to the metal being hit. Plus, a good cutting oil helps keep the bits cooler. We kept a plastic ketchup dispenser full of oil handy to do this.
Same. I used to install all kinds of low voltage systems, such as CCTV, access control (card readers), alarm, intercom, what have you, and mounting stuff on the exterior of buildings often required drilling through concrete walls with rebar. I would use diamond-coated hole saws for anything over 3/8inch, because I got tired of burning up SDS carbide-tipped hammer bits against rebar. And the cutting oil was also essential, although I had a shallow plastic bowl that I would dip my but in to keep mess to a minimum after a facility manager lost his mind over oil dripping out of the hole and staining the concrete.
@@dionh70 that's exactly why I used water, I worked for a school district and that meant someone was gonna bitch
Also, if its just about getting material off, are there types of jackhammers that could work? battery powered ones? or one with a small generator that you can carry with you? i never used jackhammers myself but its the first thing that came into my mind to remove material off the wall
Yes this should work.
@@yoshtg don’t want any gas powered equipment in a mine or to close to the entrance.
DUDE...YOURE KILLING ME! You do this to us, and I dont know about the rest but it kills me til you post a followup video with the results! Keeps us hanging! And aint nobody going anywhere! HURRY UP! I WANNA SEE!!!! IM DYING HERE! 😭😳
Same!
Yup
Lol , me too 😆
Same here...
I’ve been using KATEYA tipped sds max. They last 10x longer than the high end Dewalt I was using! I like to switch them out often, sometimes 2-3 times on a hole so they don’t overheat. Heat will ruin your best bits
I work in the rail industry, and part of that is drilling holes in the rails. We use a product called Lubrisol which we mix with water until it's the consistency of milk. Put that in a pressurized weed sprayer and you'll save on your bits. Love the vids!
Drill into the surrounding softer material. I found a small piece of rock like that about 1/2" thick. I tried to drill through it with 1/4" carbide drill and had the same problem. You'll spend more on carbide bits than you'll recover in gold. The good news is hard material is also brittle. You can fracture it with a chisel and heavier hammer. Get a 3-4 lb hammer,
Always a like from me sir
Flora is vegetation, fauna is wildlife. I remember by equating flora to flower, and fauna to a baby deer/fawn.
My Name is William. Ries I have viewed. Many of your videos over a couple of years you have done very well to produce excellent videos easy to follow I have done much the same as you in processing assorted ores I love mining and your ways of getting the job done thank you for presenting them
The small bit should about 3/16ths, Burn those up to find your depth "pre-drilling", and chasing that hole with the 3/8ths, 7/16ths, 1/2; which ever one you choose. I don't know which feathering wedges you have, but don't step up several times, it will just cause you misery and waste your time. Just use a pilot hole, and then step up directly to your desired drill size, and keep your pilot hole clean.
Oh yes, I have indeed seen a rusted pyrite vein like this in a remote mountainside in northern NJ where a small landslide at least a century or two ago exposed fresh rock... heh heh heh.
Now to get some samples!
You can use a pump sprayer rig to drill wet but NEVER quench carbide that is too hot to hold or you will crack it! Is that mineral arsenopyrite? Remember how nasty it is when you smelt it.
Regarding your drill bit, I've been told from the Sierra blaster company that you should have a dozen of them because you don't want them to get hot just like when your machining metal you don't want it to get hot so you either cool it with some kind of liquid or change your bits out right away and then you'll have them last longer and they won't be damaged as much when you go to a sharpen them.
Yes I do! You need more bits, drill for a bit then change bits let it cool down ! Never let tip get hot you will melt all no matter how expensive. I usually us several bits letting all have chance to cool before I come back to it. I drill Rhodonite from my mine and went through a lot of bits before I learned. Once your tip has been compromised by heat it’s all over. I usually drill 12 holes 18 inches deep in gem grade Rhodonite then pour my dexipan. 13:18
Follow, follow, follow that yellow brick road! Thanks, Jason.
I always learn something from watching your videos. You should show the backpack you wear with a garage full of tools you must take up with ya. What about a small Hudson sprayer and adjust the tip to spray a needle stream and squirt the hole with water periodically, hopefully keeping the bit cool.
Great video Jason, i think you need to 'Ask Jeff Williams' so come on, LETS GO!!!
Craziest part about all this is we are just mining the “fingers” of the veins. Deep deep deep down is where the body is. Nearly impossible to get to. But if your lucky you’ll get pretty damn close to the hand.
How do we get to it?
Buy a ram set with high power loads and cut stainless steel rods with a chiseled edge, bring ear and eye pro! But this is a powerful solution to a rock-hard vein. Plus it's much lighter to carry.
Your drill bits are for stone and masonry. hitting the iron sulfides is smoking them. On the flip side, if you used a bit for iron, you'd smoke it from hitting stone. I think all you need is to work on technique a little. The mason bits can work, you just have to be sure you only drill into the surrounding rock and try not to hit metals.
That's kind of my thinking too . Avoid directly hitting sulfide band.
Ah, good. You have also mentioned he is perhaps drilling into the wrong spots. I agree with you.
Yes diamond bits don't like hitting iron just like drilling concrete and hitting rebar!!
@@brianmisener177 Drilling deck plate and hitting concrete, sucks balls to.
I’m loving this channel - absolutely amazing and full of knowledge. I literally stumbled upon this channel yesterday and I’m glad I did.
The end of those bits look like they got very very warm.
The for the content!
Awesome looking stuff. Can't wait to see it crushed up and running on the table.
Perfect way to wait for Dan's Sunday video! Thank you for showing us how much work and science go into mining!
Always good to recheck what the old timers were interested in
Diamond coating is definitely your friend.
They make very good impregnated products now. Quartz countertop installers know what I'm talking about. You can find local suppliers for bits of all sizes
More of this sort of content please.
My expectation is that the hardness and crystalline nature of your material is acting like cutting sandpaper. Perhaps not directly drilling into the sulfides and more along the quartz/sulfide transition would do less damage to your bits.
hi, for the drilling process, take a bottle of water and a water spray bottle. Drill for 5 seconds and spray water in the hole and repeat the process. That way you won't burn the drill bit. Carry some spare batteries.
I used to have to drill concrete to repair door systems, used a Bosch SDS , the Crete was easy, but if you hit aggregate you have lube the bit. Othwise the bit ends up looking like the ones you smoked. Water, best lube for bit to stone. Even then you have to keep changing them so they don't get too warm. And I had to finish more than one hole (because I ran out of bits) with a star drill and 2 pound sledge.
You’re really living the dream Jason. Thank you for taking us along!
Again, I can’t wait to see the results and see how you deal with the sulphides. Fingers crossed 🤞
Looking forward to you processing!
I'm excited for tomorrow
I love this guy.
thank you for sharing the adventure 😀
Thanks Jason. 😄
you’re drilling through sulfates like you said which are primarily iron or metal with a masonry or stone bit. you need a specialty but that will not get burned up. drilling into metal with a masonry bit will burn your bit up in seconds . just like when the concrete bit hits angle iron a few times good and the tip will be done. wood will burn up masonry bits just as fast. use a different bit for the heavy sulfide material.
I have some very hard and tough quartz also. I use two insert carbide bits from Sierra Blaster because they are both economical and good quality. Even then they only go about 3-5 inches each before dulling. The best method I have found so far is to have a bunch of bits, change every7 seconds, and have a disc grinder to re-shape the carbide inserts when they get dull. I am a bit clumsy, but I can still re-sharpen a bit satisfactorily by eye in about thirty seconds. As soon as a bit starts getting dull, take it out of the rotation and re-sharpen when you have enough dull buts to make it worthwhile. In exploration, a dozen bits weighs less than a grinder.
Keith
That vein looks yum.
Hi Jason, Absolutely phenomenal! Your adventures are incredible! Thanks for taking everyone along! Stay safe!! Jim
Hi Jason. Amateur Al here. I have a thought for ya on those bits you tried on this video. Those bits appear to be stone/ tile, concrete bits. If your ore is so metalic as it seems to be why not try using a hi grade steel bit? Just a thought. Great show.
Great comments I let the rotor hammer bounce by very gently just barely touched the rock and then it starts bouncing and it fractures for me it works fairly good.
I use to pan for gold in California. I was in the middle of nowhere in the Sonora forest. We noticed a red bandanna in the bushes when we pulled in, didn’t think much about it. About a hour goes by, we are surrounded by 5 Latino guys wearing a lot of red. They were digging something up in the bushes. I kept my hand in my pocket like I might be armed. Of course no one is but the bad guys in California. We loaded up quickly and took off in 4x4. It was muddy and these bozos drove a car down there. They were screaming for help as we burned rubber out of there. I applied for a concealed carry license and of course was denied. So I moved to Oklahoma and got my ccw, but no gold in Oklahoma. Like your show thanks
This is one of my new favorite channels
Jason- I’ve learned so much about natural materials in rocks, particularly good showings in quartz veins and in mines. Thank you! Much of my past recreation has revolved around backcountry mountaineering and rock climbing so rock is in my blood. I’ve come to realize how many great veins I’ve crossed and climbed on over the years. Now it’s time to go test some of the more accessible places locked in my memory. Kelp up these amazing videos!!! Thanks Again! Godspeed.
Hopefully Milwaukee will sponsor you, you deserve it.
Love watching your videos and wish I had your job!! I've always loved working underground and with dirt and rocks, heavy equipment/mining.. Thanks for sharing brother much love and respect from Colorado!
Wow.nice vein..hopefully it's got good gold locked up in it
I grew up in a town called mineville in Upstate New York. The mines were and are the source of the purest iron in the world. They are closed now, but the deposit was created billions of years ago when an iron asteroid several miles wide hit the planet. Over the ages, plate tectonics moving the continents around forced that asteroid to the surface. The miners used diamond tipped water cooled drill bits to drill into the stuff because carbide just doesn't do the job.
The old timers used to say that gold rides an iron horse, so I think you're drilling into a band of iron.
Jason,
That was an awesome site, I hope it’s a winner!
Cheers,
Rik
I saw a bunch of sparks when you were drilling and those bits don't work the greatest in hard metals. Light pressure and some sort of lubricant/coolant would keep it from burning up but it'll take a while. Diamond grit hole saws are really amazing but you have to constantly break out the core to go deeper would also be neat to see the little cores you'd also need some extensions and a little spray bottle of water.
I don't think I can go into those mines,
the vicarious experience is amazing.
Thank you for your efforts.
I'm mildly claustrophobic, so my ass will NEVER go into those tight spaces. Not even gonna apologize to anyone about that.
Awesome man. Cant wait to see you process it.
Jason. Keep us upto date on the processing as i have exactly the same looking stuff as you showed in the video. I would be interested to see what you get.. 😊
Very interesting, cantwait for the outcome 👍
Try bentonite clay on the bits to keep them lubed up
Jason that ore sure looks like Wolfrom, I would try Hilte bits they do them for concrete and rebar and very hard wearing
Enjoyed watching your video thankyou for sharing your experience and information with us.😀
That's awesome find
Wow that's cool
diable makes a great bit. i have used them making anchor holes in rock, concrete long-lasting
Try Hilti Tools SDS Hammer Drills. They cut into concrete way faster then your Milwaukee or Dan's Makita. I would expect the same for weird rocks too
thanks for the great adventure ,, i like what you are doing , keep it up
I would love to see a livestream with you and Jeff Williams.
Good stuff!
Fascinating stuff i enjoy your content
Looks like Silver to me. Great find and you work your tail off brother.
Nice work! Looks like a super fun place to climb around...without bags of rocks! Thanks for the videos and all the info!
What a blast coming by. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam . Gold Squad Out!!!
like u said its mostly metal may an metal dril
By golly I would love to buy those ore chunks as is (was). Such fascinating stuff with an interesting pedigree.
great video Jason :) I can't wait to see the results bro :)
Great video
that is great stuff
This looks like it's a viable mine let's hope that your essay is full of gold and silver thanks Jason six stars brother
cant wait to see what you found. that is so cool. i like Dan Hurd's and your videos the best on youtube. keep them coming.
Have you checked out Vogus Prospecting channel. He’s an Aussie with a sense of humour and he is prospecting various placer and old hard rock mines for undiscovered and left over gold. He is amature status compared to the equipment being used by Dan and Jason, but still very interesting nonetheless.
You're probably drilling into something like hardened iron, maybe a high speed drill bit not a masonary bit.
I have a question about Gedrite in Quartz, is it a indicator around gold?
Thanks for all tips and tricks, u make a super channel 😀👍🇸🇪
Super nice looking stuffa Jason! Cant wait to see them crusehes... But maaaannn you might even get sulfides in number 1 :D I wish you to hit like 112 ounces per ton from that ore!
I work in my step dad's machine shop for a little bit. When they were drilling precision pieces through different type metals depending on what the metal was he would order cut her bits that would just chew right down through it. They are different than drill bits and have adjustable blades that run up and down the side of the bit or the cutter I should say. They are super hard and stay really sharp for a lot of drilling before you have to change to another one. Maybe get with a machine shop and they might could order you something to try. Since you say this van is basically metal I would say that would be your quickest best bet. They used to do work for NASA on different type mounts cutting threads and the stuff was new to me and I was really impressed.
Thats something I could never do, Even though I am a grown man, I am terrified of the dark. To many times I was left alone in small tight quarters in the dark...
Hmmm quartz with sulfides , I'm betting either your bits are tool steel tipped. Not tungsten carbide like they should be . If they are tungsten carbide then diamond tipped bits are needed . But diamond tip don't like the hammer drill action only drilling . In concrete those carbide bits work great , but when I get into various types of tiles , porcelain and ceramic those bits burn up while trashing the tile . So , I'd go with diamond tip or verify that they are tungsten carbide tipped .
Also try avoiding directly hitting sulfide band.
Really cool
Nice minerals moss and liken good signs. Love your videos, I drool over your processing plant great set up! You work hard,enjoy your success!
Why man that looks really great I bet you wish you could pull out more than just a couple bags that heavy sulfide stuff I can't wait to see what it crushes up and looks like thanks for the great video looking forward to the next
You need to use a small concrete core drilling bit. You will also need a water supply like a gallon jug or something. Bonus is having a cool sample of whatever you are drilling out.
Great video Jason, I always learn something. Try using a cutting oil if hitting metal on metal it cools the bit and they seem to last longer. Hope to see what your samples shows. Heavy pans to you.
I used to sell hardware for a company called Lawson Products. They have an excellent line of drill bits. I didn't ever sell any of that type, but you might want to check them out. Give them a call and they' tell you who the rep in your area is.
There's probably a carbide insert drill bit you could find that would have better cutting power. You'd also be able to change the tip out on the spot so you'd only need one bit and a bunch of inserts. Like others have said keeping it wet would be helpful as every time I have drilled something with a high hardness a cutting fluid is necessary to not blowing out the tool. I don't know if they exist but if there is a small version of a rock driller with a drill bit that has integrated fluid supply into the end of the bit that would probably be your best tool.
Shalom.Mr.Jason. May i wish you A Happy New Year And Blessed Year 2023 together with your family members and friends..God Bless.Amen.
cool your bits
Hey Jason I see a few people have already mentioned it but using some kind of moisture ( water works great just keep squirting it in the hole while you drill) keeps the bit from heating up and therefore dulling the tip. Pretty much a must when drilling into something as hard as quartz.
Lovely Solid Metal Sulfides!
Yahoo baby!
Hopefully the results are terrific!
Waiting patiently for the processing of this treasure!
Looks darn good 😊
Thanks Jason
✌️PT
Hi Jason, I’ve had success with Bosch carbide bits in quartz.
He's drilling metal
@@Obshowersyndicate yes, I should have included sulfides, too.
@@Obshowersyndicate sulphides have metal in them but they are not metal and don't have the same physical properties.
@@octosquatch. that’s right. And although the two “metallic” samples Jason was holding looked to be massive and semi massive pyrite, because it’s slightly softer than quartz (Mohs ~ 6.5 vs. 7.0 for quartz), the Bosch bit should work if it’s semi lubricated. I’ve had no issue drilling through quartz and pyrite in the same holes. Caveat: I’ve never used it all day; maybe a max of 10 holes in one session.
Neat channel, neat video. My profession has allowed me to be underground in a few different mines. The Barrick Williams mine in Hemlo stood out since I was a mile underground and we went into a few areas that were pitch dark. Subscribed!
So comforting until...
I want to see how you'd open up a portal into a fresh vein .
How to tell, by whatever means necessary, where it's a good place to mine ore .
This is another good video anyway.
Good work , I look forward to seeing the assays on the ore you pulled out of there !
Then I was move to Alaska brought some memories back done some digging around. Using some equipment found a big point for and out fit who is still digging and making big cabbage. Don’t want nothing of it. Dig bring a small nugget out with me X wife got the nugget. Might be about 12-13 grams. Or more I don’t know and don’t care not there no more. But it was fun. Thanks Jason for my great memories.
A easy low tech approach to make a hole in very hard material, use the smallest possible drill, stop often cool the drill and the hole with water from a flower sprayer. When the drill is small it goes fast in to the material and then later use a bigger drill in the exact same hole but then the big drill goes through like it would be butter widening the hole
Jason my instinct says a squirt bottle like they use for dish soap filled with water. space out little water squirts to keep the bit cool and the volume amount should help flush. Another option would be a pump oil can. Baby steps you will figure this out. Discovery channel is going to grab you !
Suuuuuper 👍👌
With that vein, you're not really drilling into quartz, you're effectively drilling into metal, which is why you're burning up your bits. I used to install all kinds of low voltage systems, such as CCTV, access control (card readers), alarm, intercom, what have you, and mounting stuff on the exterior of buildings often required drilling through concrete walls with rebar. I would use diamond-coated hole saws for anything over 3/8inch, because I got tired of burning up SDS carbide-tipped hammer bits against rebar. And cutting oil was also essential, although I had a shallow plastic bowl that I would dip my bit in to keep mess to a minimum after a facility manager lost his mind over oil dripping out of the hole and staining the concrete.
Very curious were you get the pyramid iron forms you use? Or did your business make them? Looks like it's 1/4" steel sheets? We've been casting metal for 4 or 5 years, and that sure would come in handy.
