iron our for the rusty specimens
Is this a re-upload? It seems familiar, especially the comment about the USPS.
You should make yourself some beads using pure gold and silver from 90/10 down to 50/50 for a visual reference. Love the vids.
@@timothyodonnell8591😊😊
Try Coke~A~Cola for a cleanup agent.
that was so much fun having you out at our mine Jason , can't wait to do it again and so many Specimens coming out of it too ...it will give you a bad case of Gold fever huh..... now we just need a skip and electric hoist to get more material out. Love the experiments and we just mined out a bunch more that we are giving away. Next time we will head up your way and check out your mine ...so you know what we are gonna say huh ....So C'mon...let's Go !!!!
Best video ever! I loved it was an hour and 45 minutes! I wish I had seen this video four months earlier to buy some specimens!
thanks and we gave most of them away @@JaySchmitty
Gold fever the first time I climbed in a shaft, hooked, then finding gold was over the top. When my teacher found a 18oz piece put my mission over the top. The Groucho #1 nugget, Oscar found that nugget deep in the Italian bar, Columbia ca. The boulders he taught me how to move are larger than cars . Now he's gone and I've yet to find anyone willing to take the hike...
I love it! 🎉I watch all the of you guys shows individually. So it's nice to see you guys getting together working. Makes it so much more fun.
Holy Crapola Jeff
So awesome seeing all of you guys getting together! You, Dan, Jeff...
Couple years ago I was watching you all as individuals. Great to see all these collaboration videos!
I was just saying that to Jeff on his video a few days ago!
And Pauly
@@mawi1172 definitely as well as That Camping Couple, The Crystal Collector, and Vogus... and the rest of the down under crowd.
Love the collab stuff from all you gold guys.
I use oxalic acid to clean up quartz clusters out of Ark.
Takes days of soaking but it does remove all the rust and iron oxide to leave pure white crystals, perhaps worth a try.
I did that when I was up at Mt. Ida when I was a kid. Lots of great specimens, just wish I knew what I had back then.
Jason, your videos are incredible. I never knew how fascinating this entire subject was until I started watching your videos. You do such an incredible job explaining everything and are pretty much the only one who covers all parts of precious metal recovery in as much detail as you do.
Stoked to see Jeff and crew team up with Jason. A ton of knowledge and experience down there.
A great day to be a gold miner. Your hard work is going to be worth it this time. Hope you all can do this again sometime.
Jason, your experience is shining through !! Not all gold, still a lot of gold, but not all... This is exactly why I love ❤️ your content, much respect !!
Jeffs enthusiasm is fun to watch cool to see him on your channel thanks for the video Jason👍🏻
Jeff really seems like a good guy. He is definitely a mountain of knowledge, experiences and stories.
Jason, I love your videos exactly because You concentrate on the science of all of the processes. You are not running a gold mine, You are experimenting in the real world with understanding and teaching about the smelting and gravity recovery processes. Please keep on making videos!
Outstanding Jason.
I could watch 4 more hours of you doing these experiments and testing.
Thank you so very much ❤
Wow another full video yesss no more shorts ⚠️
Shorts can help grow the channel though 👍
Shorts just need better editing.
The shorts are needed for Jason to keep up with You Tube requirements. He’s doing what he is supposed to. People should appreciate the content and not complain so much.
@@Red9GearHeads if they get enough complaints perhaps they change the policy .they won't if you don't
No es necesario saber cómo funciona TH-cam vo solo disfruto mucho de los videos más extensos
Best video ever! I love both of you as prospecting TH-camrs and to see you guys collaborate was the best thing ever. I was super excited to watch this video!
Jason, if the yellow material that is not gold contains tungsten, it is very dense and will not melt at the temperatures you can achieve with your furnace. The tungsten would probably settle into the bottom of the cone mold and not cupel away. That would skew your yield calculations. Need to have a metals lab check the button with a spectrometer and see what else is in there.
Always a good time with Jeff Williams and crew. Wishing you good luck and large numbers!
YAAAAAY, Jef & Jason, so cool when you see folks getting together you've been following for years.
Oh man I've seen many, many prospecting vids but this must be the richest ore I've ever seen WAUW!
This video was really interesting. It was long but kept my attention all the way through. Great job Jason!
It was nice watching your trials and errors through the process. Thanks for the tutorial
Jeff is my favorite guy on the Gold man , he’s some else , you can tell he had a good old man and was raised right . Enjoy the mbmm content always .
Thank you for working so diligently to keep churning out amazing content!
One of your best teaching videos to date. Thanks for putting these methods all together in one video comparison.
Dang! I've been watching Jeff Williams for many years and this is going to be an awesome episode!
I love how Jeff sneaks a "Let's Go!!" Into Jason's video!!😆😆
Jason,
Your experiments are fantastic, there aren't necessarily wins or failures, just another
step toward success.
Pro mistakes are less and more refined:)
Cheer's,
Rik
Had to pause a few times and go about my day BUT this video was excellent. So much better than running regular TV.
WOW what a video! The information and seeing the processes first hand makes me feel just as rich as if I had the gold myself. Your videos are the true gold mine/mother load for us all.
really need the 4 pioneers togehter in a video soon!
would love to see mbmmllc, pauly, hurd and the infamous jeffy williams on an prospecting adventure!
thanks for taking the time to make such an informative and interesting video. I really really enjoyed all the videos you've made lately and I personally think they're some of your best and please continue with these type of "full circle" mining videos....from the mine to the melt. good stuff!
Me too! It's always a bummer to go through the work and then not get paid. Show me the GOLD!
The H202 in the container at 1:21:27 is reacting with silver in the material. Some engines use H202 as propellants and react it with silver as a catalyst to produce power
To add a bit to this, it could be catalyzed by silver, but it could also be a ton of other things, h2o2 really doesn't want to stay together and sometimes it is easier to ask what doesn't catalyze its decomposition.
1:16:06 Sir, Wulfenite is a lead molybdate mineral with the formula PbMoO4. Specific gravity @ 6.5-7.0 with magnetite @ 5.2, explains why it showed itself like it did in the pan. Galena is 7.4 to 7.6
Love how you show both you failures and successes. Very interesting to watch the various processes.
An excellent warts and all in-depth and highly educational series of videos. Tons of substance (pun not intended) I learnt a great deal from your production. Well done.
Love watching this process. Thanks for posting the entire length.
So happy to see Jeff meet Jason. Super Cool. Keep up with the Small Talk. Keep Mines Open.
You guys rock love seeing my two favorite mining guys working together. Love the quality experiments you make!
Jason, With regard to your experimentation, some people often are in to much of a hurry and just want to reach the destination, however they forget that it's often more about the journey 😉 great work keep it up
Thanks Jason what a great video. Really enjoyed the experiment ,your knowledge is priceless and I appreciate you sharing it with us. Stay safe looking forward to your next trip to see Jeff or any place you want to take us along
Jason, I love your videos and learning about the various processes you use to get the Gold/Silver out. Thank you Alex (UK)
Jason, since it's spring you should do a "spring cleaning" video where you sweep the entire floor of your workshop and see how much gold you find after you process it. Just an idea for you. Thanks again for your videos. Chris..
Sweet! Always good to have Jeff
Wow that was Awesome ! Thanks Jason ! And thank You Jeff ! Great Stuff 👍
That is so cool! I have been watching Jeff Williams for like 12 years!
What a great video! Watching you guys work is such a delight. Very professional and so much information! I'm going to need to watch these videos till I can get it all memorized! To me, this is like an epic tail of intelligent miners working with comradery and common goals. Love every minute of it! Lets go!!
You guys had a great memorable time and will remember that the rest of your lives
I been watching Jeff Williams past 3 years enjoy his content come on let's go! Dude is awesome.
Wow this is an epic video! Successful adventure! I can’t believe how far down y’all were! All those steps with backpacks of gold ore! 🤩 Shiny!
I admire Jeff`s fluency on panning.
I have been waiting for you all to get together. So much knowledge....
This is what I love watching, thank you
Aw that plot twist! I thought Jeff was way too calm about those loaded pans. 😆
for cleaning gold you would want to know what types of minerals you have in the host rock, the different mixes of minerals in the host would give you an idea of what you need to use for the cleanup depending if you want just the whole gold crystals or if you want part of the host too.
Jason thanks for being down to earth and showing your failure along with your wins and that helps us common guys that don't have your intelligence and experience out in the field I will continue to watch your videos as I'm moving to Nevada and may have a few questions for you in the future
Two of my favorite guys are in the same video so awesome
I went to the miner's party,
to see some of my old friends,
learned to tell the difference,
of good rock from the bad,
you know you can't please everyone,
so you've got to please yourself.
Kind of like a Garden Party. lol
Thank you, Jason, there are always leasons to be learned.
Love how you show the whole process, no wait until the next video to see.....
Absolutely Love a MBMM feature length film on a Sat! 😁
WTH! The "Co
me on lets Go!" Done got up and went! Lol!... Jason, love to see ya teaming up with Jeff, along with the rest of great characters in the quest of the Shinnings...and the exchange of knowledge!.... Great looking material, keep em coming..,.😅
Great way to drive to the beach this morning! Listening to you two guys is always a good time. Good stuff fellas.
Wow, all the cool content you bring to the table! Failures and successes, the whole package.
Love the videoes!
Good job and well done.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. This deposit is one that's not seen very often. I'm glad to see them finding the sought after mineral. Mighty good teaser! I learned a lot from watching you, thanks.
How cool would it be if you had the resources to make an old abandoned mine into a livable bunker that would be frickin awesome
Wow man! That was absolutely incredible! The whole video was fascinating to say the least! Quite educational! Thanks Jason. Also, love your humility!
Liked the continuous video of the entire process. Like watching a movie. Thank you.
Awesome rock to button display of gold mining and processing 😎
I watched a video the other day with someone experimenting by putting bits of gold in a mould and melting it into bars without anything like borax. He just sprayed dry silicon over the moulds first. It worked really well. 👍❤️💛💚
That's an insane amount of gold in that fine dust from the box! I guarantee you were super excited to run that!
I watch you and Jeff all the time. I have a hard rock gold mine. That is fairly rich in Southern Oregon. Use a fan. Get those that smoke out of you guys area, please. You'll thank me about 30 years. Great job, though love watching a guys, thank you.
Superb result Jason your energy & enthusiasm is amazing
Jason, you could do everything perfect and efficient and you would still have people complaining. Most fans here are fans and not naysayers. Questioning isnt the issue, its just the negativity that feeds the lonely. Great collaboration as usual.
I blow my mind on how fricken Dangerous gold mining is. Watchung u go up & down that ladder is a trip. How many guys have lost concentration and slipped into oblivion. 😮
Jeff is so hard-core I am very aggressive when I pan and pick because of Jeff Williams and it works for me people like to contradict it but I prove otherwise with results
This video was epic! Very very engaging,Wow! Thanks Jason.
Nice work! love the calculations and chemistry! Just so you know, you don't want any acids that can attack silica itself like sulfuric . It will dissolve the bond between the quartz and gold and the gold will fall out of the sample ruining the display piece. Just focus on the iron staining. HCL is most likely the best? I wonder how evaporust would do, probably just turn the red, to black?
Super magic getting to see all the great mining action everybody, let's go!
At 11:00 I was expecting Jeff to say,"My Precious!"
My jaw dropped so many times! Thanks for sharing
First class video friend thank you and please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland. 😊
I really like your experimenting. I have found that you can sometimes learn more from and experiment gone wrong, than if everything went perfectly. Great video.
Yeah u learn more when u mess up, but not messing up means u have already messed up, learned and are now a wise man. 😂
Just amazing!! Like Jeff said" the stuff dreams are made of" kudos to you fellas!! Great to see but nicer to have!! I'm at awe!! That's not real!! Just WOW!! You keep me hope and dreams alive, just believe!! Godspeed beother
Such a GREAT Video Jason... This I think was the best you've ever done... Absolutely loved you and ASK JEFF WILLIAMS C'mon LETs GOOO... Work together... LOVED IT ALL... And great job experimenting with the smelting.... We all learn alot!!!
That glassy green is something else. Good work.
I know Exactly where you are.
Been there in year 2000 with my Family..
The heat from the lights in the windows to make the Good Jewelry Shine was immense.. back then..
You guys are definitely having a great time..
Enjoy..
Cheers Tony 🍷🍷⛏️
good stuff! but I think that your secondary processing of the lead/gold/silver button could be better served by using the parks process to part the silver and the gold. That way you save the lead cost. Then cupel the zinc out leaving the gold and silver. It would be fun to watch that!
This was a fun video of experiments.
Gold nugget fingernail 😮 looks awesome Mrs. Williams.
Jason,
It's too bad Dan couldn't be there, as well.
Great stuff!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Yay! Two of my favs! ❤ Wait until Dan sees all of that gold! 😮 It would be great to get him down there too. 👍
That’s great Jeff I love watching these films I’m still waiting for that thing to show up in my mailbox
Lol
Funny how gold drives people crazy since the start of using gold as precious metal, gold craaaaaaazzzzzzyyyy
AMAZING VIDEO Thank you so much.
Hi Jason, WOW! You really out-did yourself this time! Marathon video! 10 thumbs up! Jeff (or someone) needs to find out what the other yellow/orange heavy metal is - maybe XRF a specimen or send it to a lab. You had mentioned Wulfenite - I'm not aware of any in Nevada. I've mined Wulfenite in Arizona. Have to figure it out! That info will be a big help when it comes to smelting this ore again. You're an excellent instructor! Lots of fun to watch! Stay safe!! Jim
Love seeing you two working together.
Ton of knowledge and experience there.
Really enjoyed this video, even tho it was pretty long. I even caught myself holding my breath when that dust came up out of the crusher.
ABSOLUTLY love your videos. longer the better. cant get enough
I appreciate your time Sir.
Great video. I always enjoy your smelting / science experiments. AT 1:42:57 CC reads ..... "Pretty nice buttons. Lets get them cooled off and laid. Nice. LMAO. sometimes Close captions cracks me up.
Thanks Jason! You have GOLD FEVER!
Wow! That’s the Rich stuff I’m looking for! Please send me the GPS coordinates! 😂
Thanks much you crazy guys!
Stay Golden my friends
Peace Prospector Tripp
Hi Matt, when you get the coordinates of this shaft, take the gas mask with you.
Might help against firedamp explosions 😂🙌
@@Ltn.Immelmann the gas mask is ready for deep mining work 😂
Thanks brother
Peace Prospector Tripp
This is very interesting video. I wonder if the old timers were excited when they panned this stuff. I always enjoy your videos Jason.
