  • Everyone loves the look of gold nuggets. So let's make some way to show them off. Let's make some gold nugget pendants. My son Evan wants to learn how to solder gold to make gold nugget pendants, so we took a trip to Lake Land Creations where my buddy Tommy makes beautiful gold nugget Jewelry of all sorts. He has agreed to teach Evan how to gold solder so he can make his own gold nugget pendants.
    Pendants up for auction on my website at: www.danhurdprospecting.com/auction

    great video! As a parent of 3, love to see our offspring succeed their forefathers.
    I just purchased some of your paydirt bags to teach my kids and me how to pan, as I found a rock worth investigating in the California mother lode area. I just wanted to let your viewers know that you upgraded my order to 6 bags of paydirt from 4. Everyone loves getting free stuff, you are the man👍👍

    11:25 You're right Dan. You can also see in the closeup of the nugget you showed earlier that the seam is in the 9 o'clock position. That isn't what is supposed to be done. I've made hundreds of pendants like this and of other types and there are a few things happening here that would have landed me in hot water during my apprenticeship had I done them.

    What a fab little video was so nice to see the kids learning a skill and having fun with it as well . At first I couldn’t make out what you were saying to me it sounded like sawding and then I realised it was soldering . Those guys make some beautiful pieces of art made from gold and silver really talented. Hope your get your computer soon Evan and good luck with making and selling your jewellery pieces xxx

    Interesting enough, I just finally watched the other video from that shop yesterday. Its good to see a young man who knows what he wants and how to get it, but the rest goes into his college fund.
    I am surprised that Canada doesn't have a less expensive college system. Using our system probably isn't the best solution. Before college let him have a couple of years to work. He might find that more fulfilling, but he has to give both a chance.

    Technically the ultrasonic is generating small implosions throughout the liquid and essentially blowing the dirt off the surfaces. It can do nasty things to metal foils as well, so really thin jewelry might have issues.

    Wow! Not only having to learn new skills, but having a camera on at the same time!! Young man deserves a new computer, since he wants to work for it and not just get it handed to him! My little cousins get their money on a 50%, goes to college saving, 30% saving for a big purchase, 20% saving for every day spending. Every cent they get, or earn is distributed like this. Seems to work well

    Hey dan, don't use sand paper, sanding sticks work much better. Also I use A soldering paste that comes out of a syringe. It has the flux and powder solder all mixed up together. I've found that its better for beginners and you use just as much as you need and practice, practice, practice. That's definitely necessary for good soldering.

    Dan........ Evan......... I really enjoyed this video. Nice to see you both together. Best part was the fact that Evan seriously seemed into it all. And he was doing a great job at it.
    He's what? Think you said 13......? And learning a trade already. He's much more mature, and responsible than other 13 yr olds I know of.
    Making pendants could be the start of a fine jeweler in the future.................
    Also............ I think it was encouraging when you asked him if he liked it, and had fun. Wanted to do it and help out.................. Then said you'd get what he needed and set him up.
    Dan, now that's true support.
    Gonna have to watch your auctions now. See when his pendants come up. :)
