    As a retired plasterer Jason, you really should be wearing a mask when breathing all of that silica dust, as it is now starting to be recognized as the new asbestos. I didn’t as a young man and now my lungs are jacked up. I couldn’t wear a mask and safety glasses because it would steam up. So I didn’t wear a mask because glasses were mandatory

    I did some calculations. Bismuth oxide consists of around 19% by weight of oxygen. So your 75g of bismuth oxide is actually just 66g of pure bismuth. Still not a great yield after the smelt, but better than expecting it to be 75g.

    Hi Jason just wanted to your channel is awesome and you do a great job. I do have an idea that might help for getting your bags of ore down the second set of chutes. Try using some feathering strips of semi rigid plastic on the inside of the chute about 6 to 8 feet above where the bag lands to the ground. It might save some time too. Hope it helps, and thanks again for all the great content.

    You have to compensate for the oxygen the bismuth oxide is losing when you smelt it. You are reducing the oxide to pure bismuth so you should expect to get less collector metal back. You can figure out the exact amount by subtracting the molecular weight of the oxygen in the bismuth oxide.
    You also don't want to cool it with water because you can cause weird flow patterns etc. which stops it from sinking to the bottom.
    It would be interesting to build a centrifugal cone mold that spins at as you pour to force the heavier gold to the tip. 4 sideways cones connected by a funnel that spins would give 4 buttons without splashing metal and maintain the balance.

      @georgecoffey9387 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Taking ​@@preauxtip's calculation of 20% oxygen means he should have recovered 60g bismuth, but only got what? 34? So seems like close to half still went missing

    Your crusher and shaker table is the right setup for a wide variety of locations. I am sure your equipment sales are the bulk of your business. But your videos are a forever experiment, to keep following your videos we or I at least need a solid plan or business model for locations, types of ore, and how to sample and process. What's worth it and what is not. I understand your location has a lot of impact and constraints on what you are doing but there is a lot of country out there that has way more potential for your equipment than where you are now. I have seen from past videos that your mobile setup could process materials anywhere.

    add some Calcium Floride or fluorspar, very aggressive on silica, thins your melt allowing heavy metals to mobilize and combine with your litharge or bismuth and sink down.

    Since the kerf is pretty big on a tile saw, soon we will see the dregs in the saw basin run? AND.... if I had waited just 1 minute more, you answered that.

    @Alondro77 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Gotta remember to email you guys about sending some of my concentrated black sands for a test smelt. All the gold from the glacial moraine I pan is very fine flat flakes and flour gold, much more may be hidden within hematite grains. It'd be good to have someone with a lot of experience smelt a 250g or so sample and see if it's worth me holding onto them as I'm panning my way through the richest part of the moraine.

    Please do a vid explaining matte and speiss. I have an ancient (bronze age) copper ingot that is approx 20% As 20% Sb 15% Ni and 3 % Co can't explain such high concentrations. It has silvery metallic lustre and is very brittle.

    Do you capture the dust when you are slabbling rocks? It presumably contains gold that was removed by the saw.

      Probably not. If you find visible gold, it isn't hard to liberate it from the host rock, and you don't sell pay dirt or slab samples. Have you heard of fools gold? 💰🪙

    • @mikeford963
      @mikeford963 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@antmantony2642 "Fools Gold" is iron pyrite. It's a VERY different crystal structure than gold. Iron pyrite is cubic in form and will oxidize out away from the gold.
