Enjoy seeing you collab with Dan Hurd. Very interesting to hear the reasoning behind your smelting recipe.

Love the Dan Hurd collaboration videos! You two make a great team.

Great collab, awesome to see you guys doing things like this! Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for the explanations of the smelting process !

Like a boss...A Perfect teacher/Professor/student instructional Thanks...

Great video Jason! Content like this teaching young people about your craft is what youtube is all about!

Immediate like! By far you are my favourite gold KZreadr . Thanks for the many hours of entertainment Jason.

I think that's the best smelt I've ever seen you do, I mean the cone mold.

If you grab the crucible from the 3-9 o clock spot instead of noon to the 6 o’clock pour spot, you’ll have an easier time pouring and less heat on your hands

That glassy slag looked amazing!

Love watching you both! Looks like you both have a lot of fun together!

Hey Jason! Been watching you and Dan working together for a while and I love to see the process of crushing the stone and then of course smelting to see what ya got.😁 The "Beast" is one awesome machine!!

Hello Jason! I looked it up for confirmation and this is the origin info: [Borrowed from French coupelle, from Medieval Latin cūpella, diminutive of Latin cūpa (“cask”).] It's pronounced like "cue PELL" so now we know for sure! Good to see you and Dan doing what you enjoy.

Thank you

That was such a perfect smelt....and for Dan. Just great, thanks for the shows.

Perfect smelt. You had to keep Dan happy! 😄

Hell of a good video. I love how you explain each step.

Good video. I truly like when you and Dan collaborate. Great stuff

Jason, you and Dan are such fun chill dudes. When I watch yalls collabs it feels like buddies just hanging out. I'm very jealous I dont have any gold mines in Texas!

Yeah, but we've got so much other cool stuff in Texas; who needs gold?

Great video Jason, thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe and I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos.

Jason, another excellent video. I love the collaboration videos with you and Dan. I can’t wait for your upcoming gold mining videos.. 😊😊😊

Great Job Jason! Loving the rock slabbing!

Thanks again for a great video. All the best. 👍😎🇨🇦

Great seeing the gold. Really cool to see how it's done.

Thanks for your knowledge

You and Dan make a good combo.. love watching both your videos.

Great stuff Jason, I really enjoy seeing your equipment in use, and your mining vids make me feel like a part of the crew. Thank you for the entertainment and the knowledge you bring evety time. Peace.

I really enjoy how you two work together. Thanks

Would be great if you could do acid tests on the beads. Would find that really interesting.

Not too shabby Thank you for sharing

I enjoyed both videos,very nice

Very simple yet informative

The slag looks so cool.

Always great to see you and Dan working together

Thank you for sharing this awesome content

Very interesting stuff once again Jason

Very awesome work Brother years of hard work are paying off way cool 😎 thanks alot MB😊

Very nice Jason!! Great Team Work! JJ

You need to be very careful around ceramic fibre insulation, some packaging will mislead you into thinking it is a safe product but all ceramics will change the structure when superheated and the result can then become a serious heath hazard!

​​@@foxfish7115t's not soluble, what happens is after formed into fibers, the pieces or strands are generally too large to be inhaled with much risk. Heating to high temps on the other hand can cause it to become more brittle especially with repeated cycled, allowing it to break in smaller average sized pieces that can get caught in your lungs more easily. I suspect that what can happen is the same as breathing in glass particles that will cause your lung tissue to scar around the inhaled particles. Repeated exposure would then significantly reduced your lung capacity. It's the exact reason why media/sand blasting either takes place in a sealed box, or they wear a full body suit with a respirator.

@@pappawheely I use a lot of ceramic fibre products and have done so for many years! It has only been recently that I discovered the hazard potential but I have always been pretty cautious wearing mask when handling the stuff! I think you just need to be aware…..

awesome!

Excellent explanations, I appreciate each and every one of them even though I'm sure you're tired of describing the whole process!

Dan was right about this video would be ready.

Loved the video, nice and straight forward. Get a bucket for used cupels.

😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 Hi Jason thanks for a great episode. I always learn something new, actually more than one thing. Every episode. I really like watching you do stuff. And I really like watching Dan do stuff and the two of you together makes it even more fabulous. The machines that you've created are amazing, I am just floored.

Good job

Well done 👏....great collaboration 👍

Excellent mining production.

Loved it. Will gobble up any more Dan Hurd related content for sure. Also will gobble up any Andy Thraxx crossovers . Also will gobble up any goshdarn thing you ever post so... Keep being you. :)7

Interesting techniques explained. Enjoyed watching 😅

Wow, thank you Jason for putting the smelting video on home it's the same time as Dan's video, now we are not stuck with a cliffhanger. LOL 🇺🇲💰🇺🇲

What was the free gold plus the bead weight/ assay per ton?

Great idea to work with Dan Hurd and connect the video's. I'm here straight from Dan's video / channel. Lol 👍 Thank you for all your hard work Great video

Cool video!

Till the next one 🍻

Great 👍

i do wanna find more videos like this

very interesting video my friend, thank you for sharing the video.🤝🇮🇩🔔🔔🇮🇩👍

All the best from Amsterdam 🎉

I knew I smelt sumpthin!😂

💛

It would be fun to compare your smelting with Sreetips having a go at separating the gold with chemicals.

nice, very clear step by step walk thru, i just fininshed dans live. thanks for sharing

❤

subed from dan hurd love the vids

Great video! I saw another video you did about roasting and I was wondering when you roast the sulfides, do you still need to use flux?

👍

oh Dan sent me

Excellent colab with Dan outstanding video sir I would ask is it possible to recover the lead in crt tube? Thank you for sharing this six stars brother

Im a “city boy” and this was eye opening. I’d love to learn this trade

Sorry Jason but Dan's came up first so I watched yours second. Can't wait to see more on the gold mine and also the helicopter run. Great colab.

Hi Jason, Nice refine! Any gold mine would be very happy at 12 grams a ton! Stay safe! Thumbs up! Jim

Could you use some free labor lol . I'm retired and have been watching you and Ben for a while. I really love what you can do with all you equipment and knowledge. I have a good retirement so money isn't the answer at all . Excuse me most of the time anyway. Thinking it would be nice to know more about this prospecting . Thinking later maybe ending up on Arizona area maybe and would be nice knowledge to know as well as equipment needed. I can also just watch your videos that I love to watch. Thank you for your time and consideration. God Bless you both.

Question on bismuth: is recovery necessary? If you did grind up the cupel, could you just add it to the next smelt in place of the added bismuth? In other words, could you combine the separate smelt needed to recover the bismuth with the next regular smelt reducing the cost?

Ever thought about offering crucibles? I don’t need anything near as big as you use. But finding anything that will survive is impossible. In a very small scale that is. I work in small parts, like 1lb samples tops

Roger❤

Where did you get your slag molds? Did you weld them up yourself?

First I saw that codys lab use bismuth as collector metal 😀 did you also see from him?

Is that Marbor #7 cupel? I use those. My friend did XFR on my cupeled gold, no sign of bismuth at all, I cupel at 1000 degr. Celsius... However I bought bone ash and magnesioum oxide and will try to make my own cupels, as Marbor are hard to get here and are a bit expensive, also, sometimes I need bigger, sometimes smaller...

That is very interesting but it looks like it is a lot of work So what I'm question is it worth all the time and gas that you spent for that button Thank you so much for sharing and God bless and I hope you find the mother load

I like your Vids. I got a question: how can you seperate the gold from the silver? Regards from Vienna!

Look up inquartation to learn how to separate them.

please make video explaining the sulfide you mention all the time. from all the video you made that i watched i presume that there is some gold trapped in other metals corrosion or something ... idk

Always enjoy the logic end of this. How bad ass all of our forefathers where.

Side note, I would also love to purchase hard lead if that would be an option? This is a common request among garage bass fishing bait makers

Здравствуйте! Скажите пожалуйста, на сколько плавок хватает тигеля из карбида кремния, при таких условиях?

Jason where do you buy your crucible at what do they cost

New gloves? Is there a story here?

First Creek Rock Shop over in the Swauk was selling their rock cutter, if I had money I'd grab it...sigh.. broke...

where can i buy this type of Cupel/pupel ? link:

Wait a sec Jeff's sample you smelted about a year prior to this video was like grey colored, and that was estimated at 80% gold. Dan's has a yellow color to it and it's estimated at 75%? Either you've gotten better at estimating since then, or your camera/software has changed the way the gold looks. :-P

Hi.bro.What is flour?

So, a little over 2 tons of ore (4,000 lbs or more) to produce 1 ounce of gold.
