You have enhanced my level of understanding of GOLD and the WORK people have to do to liberate it from mother earth. God must love miners.

its great that you miners and the part-time prospectors are willing to take the time to record and explain everything your doing. its relaxing to watch, hard to do. cheers mate

I wonder how well it would work if you put the generator 'into' the Shaker Table and use Engine Vibration for the table motion requirements. This would work particularly well with a Hydraulically Driven Electric Generator so you can set the Engine Speed that you need for the Shaker Table. I may have that last part wrong but you see what I am talking about. Use the waste from one system to enrich the next.

Awesome. Great job explaining and demonstrating things all-round. Cant wait to see things unfold. best of luck!

Very neat operation. I’m sure it’s as much fun as it is hard work. Well done!!

We just bought the California Mine along with the Arizona and Bachelor claims outside of Republic Washington. We have the rock crusher with a smaller crusher (for the time being) ready to go with the shaker table not so ready because of four to five feet of snow here in our parts. Our plan is to build a shed around the shaker table and heat the shed and the water source but we keep getting dumped on - I mean feet of snow at a time. It's all keeping up let alone making headway. The property with the mine awaits spring.

Bit of trivia, in WW2 some gold mines were closed because the government deemed it nonessential and counterproductive to wartime manufacturing efforts. Gold mining often didn't resume after the war for various reasons. Sometimes because they were already borderline profitable/unprofitable, and it wasn't considered worth it to restart them. Some were deep mines that required regular maintenance, like water pumping and shoring, so they were unsafe by the end of the war.

I've watched a number of your videos & that crushing setup to the shaker table & connected equipment looks new. Cool

im glad you played that again and added the new stuff very fun watch thanks

It’s amazing how many armchair warriors there are who are sooo concerned about silicosis and ear plugs. You are showing them start to finish processing using machinery you made yourself, and that’s all they can comment on. It’s this fearful thinking that’s been indoctrinated into everyone that makes them never do anything. I’m so impressed when I watch your videos that I know take a lot of time and effort to make, and I consider you a true authority to look up to in gold mining industry. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

You need to turn the exhaust weather head around on the truck mounted engine. You are running a chance of filling the engine with water when driving in rain.

Let no one say you don't work for your pay fellas! You guys working to get that gold out of there. This makes me wish I would have done something like that when I was younger. Good honest labor for precious metals. I tried my hand at music.

I really like the turn key system. You are doing great work.

You should think about getting a small chain hoist on a boom or a jin pole for the back of the truck. Lifting everything on and off by hand gets really old. Harbor freight had nice hitch lifts pretty cheap.

Have a great season guys.

With the cable system down to the truck, you should use the weight of the ore to help lift items down at the truck up to your mine.

I was thinking a generator and electric winch but I think you could be right, if you have ores at different stages the weight of the buckets going over the cliff should offset the weight of pulling up from the mine.

@markcallaghan843

At the least you could use the weight of the ore buckets to bring the empty buckets back up to the mine entrance. In fact anything that weighs less than the ore can be brought up like this. Fred Dibnah used to take down chimneys like this. When he wasn’t filling the bottom with tyres and lighting them on fire with diesel that is!

It ain't no trick to get rich quick when you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick in a mine... In a mine... In a mine... In a mine! Where a million diamonds shine!

Just found your channel, very interesting. I worked for DFC Ceramics in Canon City Colorado. I started off as a press operator making crucibles. Then went into the furnace shop and started making Fire Assay Furnaces. Ran the furnace shop for approximately 6 years, worked there approximately 7 yrs. We also made a high temp version for Stillwater Mine in Columbus Mt., so they could process thier polatium/platinum group metals. I made 802 Cupelation furnace, up to the 815L model that would handle 36, 40 gram crucibles at a time. The L in 815L stands for long chamber. We were also in the process of developing a 50 pot furnace, prior to me leaving. New subscriber Mark

I like how all that gold processing is all in the back of that truck that's pretty cool

the lil truck operation is just awesome, what a nice unit

Man this was a awesome video. I’ve been watching you for almost a year. Sure glad I clicked on this one when it popped up.

You should install a removable cradle to rest your ore bucket on while feeding your crushers...the vibration will dribble and self feed the ore

Getting ready to say goodbye to 2021 and hello 2022!!

The truck mounted system is something I would love to use on the tailings of the gold mines from the Georgia Alabama gold trail.

Interesting how you and your small crew basically do everything like a regular mine just scaled down and simplified somewhat. Are you a Geologist or? At mines I worked everyone basically had a specialty and, though there was alot of interlap, people generally just did their particular job. Geologists, lab technicians, management, mechanics whatever. People usually knew abit about others jobs and would swap sometimes etc but, generally stuck to their expertise. Kinda neat seeing how you all do abit of everything to bring it all together. 👍

That's not unusual to see in that area. Those mountains are in a weather convergence zone, warm wet southern winds meet Arctic air flowing down the Fraser River canyon and proceed to dump really enormous amounts of snow. How much snow? The Mt Baker ski lodge recorded 95 feet of snow during the 1999 season, a world record. That mine is probably only accessible for 8-12 weeks of the year, and maybe not at all some years.

As per usual. Great vid! thanks!

We Cornish call them sockets not holes. Our Holman 303's and 900's and Silver Spears certainly 'get around', just like our five hole cut starter- round, and our 'cousin Jacks and Jennies'. Take real good care all you rock hounds out there. God bless you all, from Kernow G.B!...FIRRRE!!!

So danger place. Good and hardworking men work for feed their family. Respect u all

Watching this is very relaxing. LOL. Love this channel!

Around 21:20 put some kind of platform next to the crusher so the guy doesnt have to bend over for the ore for hours on end - will add to efficiency and reduce back pain for the poor guy :)

Really cool too see this system. I used too live in whatcom County, now okanogan County.

Damn, those are some big Dore Balls you got there XD The Lead is mostly absorbed into the Cuppelle rather than Driven Off, although there is some telltale white fumes from the oven. I worked in an Analytical Lab doing Gold Assay work and we rarely saw a Dore Bead that size. The lab does ICP-OES and GC/MS-MS mostly. [Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy and Gas Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometry if anyone needs to know] Fire Assay is a technique that is falling by the way side as the lab equipment and portable XRF field equipment are getting so damn good.

loved it thank you now i wait for the next one

Thanks for posting such informative videos. It really helps a "newbie" prospector know what kind of more efficient, affordable, equipment is available.

Awesome gold recovery. Way to go.

Gawd, I really want to grab some of those rocks to put in my polisher. I know quartz is very common, but I've only ever seen a vein like that once in person.

Looking awesome Jason! Wishing you all the best in the future seasons! Unlike some others here in CO.. you represent mining/prospecting very well, always extremely educational and have a true passion in sharing the gold spirit!! That turn key operation is pretty awesome! Have learned alot from your channel, such as the roasting sulfates ect, and I have a similar kiln that I can relate to! Thanks for all the effort in editing and explaining.
