Gold Mining, Detecting, Melting Gold in Potato and selling the Gold

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.

    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!

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

    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!

    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.

    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.
