If ya listen real careful you can actually hear the tone change in the end of the jack hammer when it hits "Good" spots. Bloody awesome to watch, thanks for sharing.
Nothing more satisfying than listening to ore hit the bucket. Kinda like gold getting dropped in a pan. Good stuff for sure! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Great to see you've got the wilfley table up and running . The reef may be patchy with grades varying over short distances along the strike . Also good to see you back making Videos.
Patchy, story of my life 😅. I won't give up on that one yet, will have to go and remove some wall rock to easier access the ore for a bit longer and hope to see some better returns.
what a great setup! you obviously thought out your needs for a successful operation. Very nice indeed, and yes that is gold mining for sure. I was just wondering yesterday why no videos on Hardrock mining in Australia, and I went to you tube this morning and bam here you are.🐐
Thanks Richard! Not many aussies are lucky enough to have a foot in the door with exploration and mining companies like I fortunately have. Which means, without the Aussies spending ridiculous money on leases, bonds, and work permits they're restricted to using a hammer and chisel or pick and shovel to extract ore on a simple miners right. The rules and regulations here are suffocating to say the least.
I just stumbled across this video and watched it. I think that you have the perfect setup.. not too big , not too small& also have a gold wheel. Did you make this? I suspect your in Australia or something like that … I subscribed and going to watch your other videos. Good job if you’re the builder of this plant& good job anyway getting it together if you didn’t build it. Kelly (British Columbia, canada
Thanks Kelly! My crushing plant is mostly assembled out of retired old equipment I've collected over time. I reconditioned it all and modified it to all work as one big system like you see it today. So I can't take the entire credit there. Thanks heaps for your sub and for tuning in. I look forward to your feedback on future vids too! 😁
Another good video Bryan. Shades of Rickey's Reef. The more we took out the less we got. I'm sure you have another prospect to go to. That broken beaker has got to go - not up to the standard of the rest of the build.
Gday mate, imagine the old boys doing that with nothing but a hanky wrapped around there nose. Please take care, even when your mucking out. Enjoying your uploads mate.
Only the smart ones had the hanky also! Can't imagine how many young men died of silicosis back then, it would have been horrible. Thanks for tuning in mate, and yes, I always keep safe 😉

Your DIY jaw crusher seems to work very well. I don't understand why not more people copy your idea. Those crushers are very expensive when you have to buy them. 👍
New subscriber, I've seen hitch mounted hand operated ore crushers that work well for the field,I assume you are out in the middle of nowhere, great video😊
Great to see you show the troughs as well as the peaks, a lot of work to get that little amount and surely less monetary value than what it cost you to get it.
Most sample projects are troughs, it's a significant investment in both time and money in the hope that one day it will pay off. I still hold hope, one day I'll find a ripper virgin pocket of reef 🤑
FAQs What are the rules for prospecting? You mustn't: use digging equipment besides non-mechanical hand tools use explosives remove or damage trees or shrubs disturb any Aboriginal places or objects , or disturb any historic place or object, or archaeological site or relic. To care for the environment when prospecting: drive only on public tracks and roads park only on the roadside avoid disturbing plants and grasses too much fix things before you leave, i.e. fill in holes, pick up your rubbish
Have you though of running the no 1 back over the table at the end to see if you can reduce the sulphides? Nice view in that little shaft. Thanks for sharing
I do switch out the container towards the end and slowly re-run it over the table. I do the same with the port 2 cons. Tricky to do though, too much concentrates effect how the whole table works and flow needs to be adjusted. Best having those cons diluted throughout the given amount of material. I think I'm going to incorporate the auto panner into the system to process both 1 and 2 ports. Catch the gold and still keep the smeltable cons separate. That would be fantastic.
@@TheGoldmansChannel keep sampling, I’ve taken adit samples that are crazy rich with gold then resampled and come up almost bare. Who the hell know what gold is thinking 😂😂😂
@jeffholmes1362 Happens to me very frequently 🤣. We just gotta keep at it, we learn a little bit more about the geology each time. Eventually that knowledge will pay off
Hmm I'm thinking Rod mill A bit of magic acid Just a splash of mercury Make sure you polish the copper plate real good and grab a squeegee for maximum performance Na just kidding 😂 We all know you cant do that anymore but it works damn good Dont try that unless you're at home!
What country is this? Seems at 21:40 that camera is set to wrong frequency compared to the lamps frequency, that is why it is flickering. Or if it is filmed with a phone, then not much to do.
Good attention to detail there Jonas! Here in Australia we run 230/415v 50hz. My off grid system is the same. GoPro films at 4k30. Phone films at 4k60. So yes, the frame rate was the issue there 😁
@@TheGoldmansChannel same problem here in Sweden. Most cameras especially the ones used for teams meetings are mostly set to 60 Hz default and gives flickering in other countries.
Two good reasons why you shouldn't tie your power cords togwther like that. Stress on conductors. Also, if the tool becomes live, you cant just pull it to unplug it.
True and true Geoff. But I believe I'm more likely to stress the conductors (or the pins at least) with a loose high resistance connection and the generating set has an RCD on it if there is any ground fault that should protect me in the case of a conductor earth fault. 😁
What you need to know A Victorian miner's right lets you prospect and fossick for gold, gemstones and other minerals in Victoria: where you've got permission on Crown or private land where it's allowed using only hand tools, like metal detectors, pans and sluices. You must have your miner's right with you when prospecting and show it if asked by an inspector. You even need a miner's right for prospecting on your own land. Note: children under 18 don't need a miner's right when they're with you, as long as you have yours. For more information, contact Earth Resources Regulation .
Once again, those are the rules yes. Rules that don't apply in this instance however, because I'm working for a mining company on an active lease with approved permits 😁.
As a beginner who is just getting interested in this as a hobby, I found this to be incredibly informative. I love your set up by the way. I notice that you seem to have a lot more space on your shaker table to the left that didn't see any material being run on it. Is this by design, and if so, for what purpose or reason?
Thanks for the great feedback and for watching Jimmy! That free space on the table is by design, different densities of material will only make it so far along the table before being washed off, by the time it gets close to that left side we only want the gold and sulphides to be present. So in that respect it's doing its job well. On that more open section of table the water flow is also much lower, allowing the materiel that made it that far to be washed over very carefully so we don't blow any gold away. The table still isn't perfect, but it's getting really close now. Water flow still needs to be tinkered with.
worse thing that possibly could happen is having all your gold and glass dropping it it breaks and you lose it. Keep it in plastic get rid of that glass broken jar
Thanks Newtimer! I haven't had any enquiries from mines dept yet, but im sure it won't be long until some jealous fellow dobs me in, assuming I'm doing the wrong thing. Most of my work is conducted on active mining leases for different companies, they've already paid the fortune for the right to mine within their boundaries and have jumped through all the required paper work hoops to do it properly. All I need from them is written permission and I'm safe to use whichever machinery or methods they have gotten approved with the work permits. I also do my own exploratory work on private property, that does not allow me to use the jackhammer as far as I'm aware, but bloody hell. If you can't use a jack hammer on your own land, where can you? 😆. So I'm mostly covered legally.
@@TheGoldmansChannel nice, yeah I'm doing deep Eluvial exploration on private ground to. You should build a swinging gantry/mast on a small trailer with an eBay winch hanging off it, a long skip bucket with a hinged bottom door, wheel barrow wheels on it, pull ya 100kg samples out in 1 go and straight into the trailer. That's how I 'would' do it 😉
I would consider processing a ton per day as being production mining. That would be a solid 10-12hr run with my equipment. Most I've done in a day was about 550kg though. Once I've got the hopper and auto feed connected up, that will be a much easier task. Fill the hopper with jaw crushed materiel and let it all run on its own.
As mentioned in the video, the occasional microspeck makes it down into the tailings, but it's by far the highest recovery rate I've ever had with the plant. Just need to reduce the grind size more now! 😁
What an ignorant and nasty thing to hope for another person, Andrew. You clearly don't know my situation whatsoever. Watch some of my other videos. Don't ASSume.
The old victim mentality again. A classic prospectors misconception. In actual fact, being a pansy and not standing by your fellow prospectors and miners in support of your rights is what gets them taken away. You will be happy to know though, I can take a compressor and rock drills to this spot and work if I so choose. Seen as its an active lease with approved work permits and I have written consent from the leaseholder to do so. Stand with your fellow man if you truly care for your rights.
Laws are made to restrict everyone to the speed of the slowest in our society. Stick by the laws and be left behind by the rest of us who don't, choose accordingly.
@@TheGoldmansChannel maybe next time in your video you need to tell then that so you don't keep getting comments like that. And it will shut them up to.

Do you use jetdry a water surface tension breaker
Very rarely use it on the plant, usually not necessary. Quite often use it when panning out the concentrates though.
Gold mining seems more genuine when it's narrated by an Aussie.
How did you get the gold out of the rocks that didn’t get crushed in the crusher
Sorry mate, not quite sure what you mean? Which gold are you referring to?
