Gold Mining, Detecting, Melting Gold in Potato and selling the Gold
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2022
- After my record gold find we start scraping the surface with the machine in the hope to uncover more big gold specimen. This way of gold mining is very popular in Western Australia and can reveal big surprises.
Before I drive to Perth to sell the gold we melt the gold in a potato.

Good to see you enjoyed the melting of the gold in the potato, I'll make sure to use this method for smelting the fines after crushing. Thanks for dropping in guys!
That was educational as well as entertaining ... You know what they say ... Necessity is the Mother of invention ...
Awesome video and information
Another great video and finding the gold was so refreshing and rewarding Krissy. 11 ozs equals 20,000 dollars give or take a few dollars
Great video. Your climate is so red and dry. Ive watched other videos of prospecting in Australia. I live in lush green mountains of NW Montana and lots of water. Dry mining and panning is a lot different. Good luck with your gold hunting adventure.
This is late information but those cottin masks aren't work crap.
Proper level 2 surgical masks sort of like the one you had are the starting point all the way up to N95. Hope you didn't get sick! :(
I lived in Mandurah for five years in the 2000s as a bricklayer with no labourers my wife helped me one day during summer she swallowed a fly on the job and about 5 hours later down the pub her first gulp of beer a fly came out of her mouth dead.15 years later we still laugh about it.
😂
I am in Pinjarra so at least 1 every year I catch a fly so know her discomfort….
that's how to get it done fam. keep on living the dream. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
The potato would catch the Mercury and they would crumble it and pan it off and use it again. Another little trick is to use a stick to stir the gold when it's liquid and pour it when it's still liquid. This will give you nice beads of gold and very little slag. I've done it lots of times. I worked for a jeweler who had a large jar of sweepings from the bench and he used to send it in to the refiner. I took that jar and panned it out and was able to get over 90 g of beads that tested at 14 karat. He got a much much better return on that product then he would have by just sending in the entire jar. Keep up the good work!
Hi happy Saturday from England x
I agree with you, that nothing beats living out in the bush, and small towns. You have persevered and finally made it happen, and who knows what awaits you on your next adventure. All the best for you and can't wait to see your next video 👍🏻
What an Action-Packed video we got this week. The Willy Willy was something else to see you chasing your cover. Great to see you detecting, digging and smelting the gold with the enthusiasm you always have. From the sounds of it you are quite happy to part with the gold for your new setup to sleep in and live, so it cannot be too much of a loss. Happy hunting out there Krissy and as always take care and see you next time for more great content. May the Gold Gods shine on you. xx
Love your videos, you are so dedicated to your craft. Love your work ethic as you are an inspiration.
Yes!! All goodness and rewards to you for all your hard work, Krissy!
I can’t wait to come here some day. Been a dream for long time 😊
Love your method of refining your gold, don't muzzle yourself. Control, control.
Every single time without exception that I watch your clips Krissy I learn something new.
Yours is the most informative show in this genre that I watch.
Congratulations on your recent big find. You deserve it for all the hard work that you put in.
Greetings from the East Coast (Newcastle).
Awesome Krissy, and I learned something new today. I didn't know you could melt gold in a potato. The purity of the gold was excellent. Enjoy your new little home, looking forward to the tour.
Back in the gold rush days in California they would a smelting compound in the potato and throw in the cook fire. They would them break open the potato get the gold and eat the potato. Many a miner died that way.
lol big joke, metal vs vegetable
@@rogerdavies6226 The old timers were smarter than that. They used mercury in those potatoes... Which had been known to make you "mad as a hatter" since the 1500s.
YES! The episode I've been waiting for, keep up the fantastic work Krissy loving the videos!!
So Happy for you Krissy you are a Wonderful person and I so look Forward to seeing you every Week Billy 👍👍💕💕🤞🏻🤞🏻🥰
Loved this video Krissy, things you can do with a spud, smelt gold in it, wow, absolutely amazing, glad you didn't swallow the fly, cannot wait for the next chapter 😀 stay safe
Dig where the bag landed.👍
Love the bush, it’s a certain breed of peeps that love the landscape, isolation and wild life, what a gift.. thanks guys for you beautiful videos
Hard work pays off Krissy. great job!!
No.6 watching from Brisbane:)))
Give that ground you Scraped sometime and yourself and then you will be surprised what you missed in all the excitement and also the ground seems to stabilize .
And go over it at night seems to be quiet , you’re more focused on your hearing, less noise from the sun.
If you start getting out of focus take 10 deep breaths.
It’s the key to all meditation.
If you don’t make it to 10 it’s working!
Truth
Congratulations Krissy,I’m so happy for you. Looking forward to the next video
I have never in my life seen a potato crucible... lol
Awesome!!!! Glad to see you're doing so well Krissy, time for the next big hit!!!
Special shout out to the owners of that lease, bloody legends!
Well done Krissy, well deserved
They are 👍🏻
Congrats on the big haul O Gold! And your new caravan, can't wait to see the inside. Keep on swinging it Krissy💖👍
I am very happy for you!... it's a great adventure!... I wish you with all my heart to relive very soon so much emotion !... and thank you for sharing in video.. Kisses!
Just when you think that you have seen it all and then "Oh no that's my detector bag in the dust devil!" Too funny. Thanks for including that in your video.
Well done krissy you deserve it for all your hard work from the uk
Yes, a tour of your new house... looking forward.✌️😎
This is really exciting . Wish I could be there
Yes we want to see your new home Krissy. Thks Krissy we love you and all you do. Please stay safe❤️🥰Dennis & Lucy from Surrey British Columbia Canada 👍
great to see you guy started scraping back hope you find more gold :)
Love your videos Krissy. I’ve been watching them for a while. So happy to see thousands of other people enjoying your journey. Keep going, I can’t wait to see your next videos. 🤙
Great fun Krissy. Really enjoyed seeing how its done prospecting for the bigger gold. Also melting , shopping, and just the whole video was so interesting. Thanks so much for sharing this part of gold prospecting. Best wishes as always, Deb
So happy for you all good people.....
Fill a large bowl or whatever you have that's large enough, with hot water and add vinegar to it . Soak your hands in it each day, and it will heal any blistering and make your skin tougher
I never would've thought you could melt gold into buttons in a potato, sort of gives a whole new meaning to golden french fries 🍟
Great Video - the Willy Willy was showing you where the gold was! Love the "it'll be dry real quick" comment - so Aussie
Love your videos Krissy. I really admire what you are doing, you have become an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your adventures and your life with us. My husband and I look forward to watching your videos each week and are both looking forward to getting on the road detecting. Well done on your big find and buying your new home.
krissy love your videos from Newfoundland, Canada
Persistence pays! Well done Crissy, I wish you find lots more.
Great Krissy very interesting that you show the potato smelting, and the selling process, thank you 👍😊
lookin foward to next video
Awesome, you're taking it to the next level
Awesome job videoing, thanks for sharing, all your hard work sure paid off. Can’t wait to see more adventures.
I live in the middle of the California motherlode. The old timersis used to use mercury to catch the fine gold and would use a half of a potato in a pan as a retort.
Great video Krissy. Was finally able to watch this one. Already looking forward to your next video!
Awesome.loved this.can’t wait for the next instalment
So happy for you to have a nice bit of luck.
Long may it continue xxx
and that's how you got the caravan , that's amazing, well done Krissy well done !!!!
Just use charcoal as a melting block. No need to waste a potato! Borax is just a flux for removing surface oxidation, nothing to do with melting point. Make sure you get a spinning bead, then cool. Clean off borax slag with dilute acid. Pure gold melts at a slightly higher temperature than native nuggets containing copper, silver, zinc, etc. (Potatoes can be used as a sketchy method to cook off mercury used during mining.) I've worked with gold alloys for years, if you're wondering.
Amazing Krissy! Can't wait to see the tour. Best of luck on hitting another banger :)
Great update Krissy, love seeing how you get on each week. Enjoy the new caravan!
This was truly informative and enjoyable. Visiting the outback is high on my bucket list.
just started watching .love it hope you find another big haul soon krissy looking forward to the next one
Excellent Krissy. You're going forward now for sure. I bet the new home is perfect.
Great episode! Sweet joy and reward for Chrissy! So looking forward to the trailer tour.
Hallo Krissy, ich wünsche Dir auch im Outback ein Frohes Osterfest und möge der Osterhase Dir goldene Ostern bescheeren. Pitt 😃🐇
Danke, wuensch euch auch frohe Ostern, Pitt 🐇
now that was really a good video Krissy!
Wow Krissy 😍lot of gold 😍and you are strong💪🏻take care❤️stay safe
You are so inspiring. Watching your videos is a late night blessing. All the love in the world to you.
Speciman gold (gold before it is melted) sometimes used in jewelry, is often worth twice as much as gold that has been melted.
Another great video leaving me with total envy. You stay safe out there Krissy!
I know double checked the piles, happy hunting Ma'am. Keeping the Dream Alive awesome Job 👏👍
Well done Krissy, looking forward to the next episode as usual and loved the potato trick.
Congratulations Krissy, and another great video! 👍🙂
A great bunch of friends you have there.....
Interesting. Never heard of the potato thing, pretty cool. Itching for the next upload.

That red dust never gets out of your car or skin I recon..
I loved the way you video the smelting process of your hard earned GOLD..
Well I am still bed bound from hurting my back and now have the sciatica issues..But believe me that the whole time I watche your video clip..I completely forgot all about it.👍👍👍👍

Hello my dear.. something wonderful and beautiful from you. I ask God for all the success for you. As for me, I am watching your video clips. I work in the field of silver, gold, and precious stones. Good luck.

Grand, nice to see you back out there and digging away, stay well stay safe.
Great job Krissy. Lots of gold and super interesting.
Another outstanding video Krissy, look forward to every one.
My lord that is so good Chrssy, well done, i get to watch your vidoes when I get back from work as an interstate truck driver, love your finds as I am a keen prospector myself. keep going.
Dust Devils we call them, nice gold .
Exciting times Krissy, good for you and thanks eh
Fantastic video ... gratz on the finds
This was a fun learning experience. Looking forward to the next video. 🤩
Love watching you out gold detecting. It’s always a treasure hunt . Hello from New York
Wow that was a great gold pocket... the gold gods were shining on you with more to come ... can't wait to see your new digs so your glamping now👍
You are such an inspiration
That was the coolest video!. Very informative on the whole process for someone like me who knows little about how it works. I appreciate you sharing the find with us here in the US. Take care out there and stay safe.
All I want to say is Thank You for this education how things are done.
I also wish you all the best and luck, you are a very special person.
Thanks
Hello, really enjoying your videos. It takes a special person to do what you do. The heat and flies alone I'm sure would drive me nuts, thanks for bringing the Australian wilderness to Canada :)
Wonderful! I enjoyed that visit to The Prospectors Patch. Only moments to discover the purity of your gold.
Absolutely brilliant Krissy!
Favorite video by far 🔥
Another great post, really enjoyable
Great show really enjoyed this .
Well done
Great work, very entertaining for a detectorist here in the USA. Love to make the trip someday and explore that region, breathtaking views and colorful area. Congratulations on your new home front, be safe.
I have never prospected for gold, however I enjoy watching the hunt and your videos are the only ones so far that leave me feeling happy. Happy hunting Krissy!
Always a highlight on sundays for me, having brunch and watching your latest adventures.
The "bush technology" with the potato as a melting pot was just awesome. Made me laugh out loud but it works pretty well :) Wondering what you use out there for larger amounts? Melons? Pumpkins? 🤣
Stay safe and enjoy your new cozy home on wheels.
Cheers from Vienna!
Wow can't believe you melted it in a potatoes unreal my friends good luck on the weigh in.kind regards Greg Lee from Melbourne Victoria. 😊
Congratulations on your new home. Looking forward to the tour inside. I've heard about the potato trick never seen it done thank you. I hope you have more good finds.
Well by God, you earned every cent of that. Hard work! Well done!
Been following you for awhile, all I can say is your a LEGEND!
I gotta say this is a hell of a video, Krissy. Awesome job.
Now I also have to say that you are the first person I've ever seen use a potato to smelt gold. I first heard that back when I was a student and one of the guys said him and his father did it.
Five-star video in my opinion. Topping 23k in a potato. 🤯 Most excellent.
