Gotta say, Jason is by far the consumate standard in gold mining channels. From the raw mining to the manufacturing of the machines through the smelting process, and then to a product Sreetips could purify. Awesome channel Jason!! It's obvious why Dan and Jeff rely on You.

To stop your crucible from sticking to the brick in the furnace, place a small square (about the size of the base the crucible) of corugated cardboard under the crucible. |this will turn to charcoal, and form a barrier that prevents the crucible from sticking.

Seeing gold run in the galena is neat. Usually it’s high grade silver that runs in galena in NE Washington. I’ve seen assays that ran over 1000 ounces a ton (silver) on galena

I mentioned Brent at Cerro Gordo, and you went and did a collaboration with him. Then I mentioned Dan Hurd, and you were off to Canada. Now - considering what you are embarking on, I want to mention Sreetips. If you are breaking out the chemistry set and the nitric acid, you need to talk to Sreetips.

Is that street sweeps is one of the gurus of the precious metals refining for jewelry and electronics and stuff He's he's very smart and knowledgeable I also want to try to get him on the show maybe a show and an adventure it's going to be the quest for the eight noble medals and I've got a bunch of ideas and I got my show so check a little take a look and see what kind of just messing around on the side side show jobs because refining recovery of precious metals gets those very boring moments that's when we fill it in with all the sideshow stuff but I want to do this signal that like an adventure thing in mind I'll keep in touch I'll keep you in the loop you need to let me know if you're interested and yeah like I said we could actually get a good little collaboration of us like-minded and talented people put our minds together and we have us one hell of a team anyways later talk to street tips I'll be talking to him too maybe we can collaborate later

Love the series! The work with Dan Hurd was a special treat!

Thanks for taking us along with you on this adventure! Really interesting.

I will stay tuned for the next refining video for sure 👍 Word of advice before starting devolving the buttons in nitric acid. Get yourself a gold karat test kit. You will need to get the gold content to around 25% or lower by adding either copper or silver to the material. Otherwise the gold will protect the silver from going into solution. There are a lot of information about this around the Internet, and it’s a fairly simple refining trick. Search for “assaying gold/silver with inquartation”

I've been watching "Flour Gold Wizards" lately as well. The HUGE difference between the yields around Lake Superior and West Coast is striking. For beach gold along Lake Superior, a 0.3g day is a "huge" day.

That's crazy I was thinking it was going to be way richer but still impressive thanks Jason for the update can't wait to see the helicopter ore processed as always its been a pleasure learning from you thank you sir Happy holidays to you and yours

Thank you Jason, these videos are great!

Thank you, enjoyed very much. Excited for the next part of the journey.

Love to watch that table work.

So about $5k worth of gold - what a nice payday -even though a lot of hard work , I've learned so much in just this one video. Excellent !

Thanks for all your effort and dedication! This is one of your best videos ever, mainly because we can learn what to do when things turn south, thanks for not cutting off the mistakes and letting us learn from your experiences.

Wow! Great adventure show. I loved the mine quest.

You read my mind when u said at the end that you are going to part the silver and base metals away with chemical reactions!! You will get some really nice looking gold for sure after u do, can’t wait to see the results!!

Love your videos, thank you. I am surprised about 1 item, your guessing of the gold silver content in your buttons. For the amount of work you do refining gold/silver wouldn't be worth buying a gold and silver testing and detection scanner so you know the exact content of the gold/silver in each button? I know they are expensive but how about a used one for sale. These analyzers can even be used checking the gold/silver ore content in the mine vein.

I'd love to see that. But understandable being that a decent unit cost upwards of $4 - $25k

Well Jason one thing is for sure! And that your precious metal is unique unto you. I hope you enjoy purification of the gold out process? Love and luck from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️

I love that you show the whole process in one video.

It's about time ! Yahoo 😂😂 I've been waiting for this one 👏👏🤞 Hope you get outstanding gold recovery! Thank you !

Been looking at your edu vlogs for years. So glad to see you building subscription count. Thanks yo.

This is so frickin cool. I'm a geologist, and I wish I could get goin on something like this.

Thank you Jason love the videos keep them up wish I could join the hunt for gold it is alot of hard work keeping the dream alive and kicking

Great job Jason

well thank you for sharing the adventure and information.

Woo hoo! All that hard work is paying off. Congrats

Great video!!!

Nice videos. Your production values are great. Very watchable.

Very cool video, thank you!

I can’t wait to see it run this summer!!!

Hard day in the office Jason. Looking forward to the refinement video.

20:14 Jason, don’t know if it has been said before, but canvas tarps are way better when dealing with material like that. They are so much easier to shovel or scoop off from, more resilient, and you are not leaving bits of plastic everywhere. Just my $.02 Thanks for making a great channel.

Hey Jason Have you ever tried to oxydize the lead without cornflaking it first? As lead has a slightly lower melting point than Potassium nitrate i suspect that most or nearly all of the reaction happens with the lead already molten anyway. So that additional step of cornflaking the lead could be avoidable.

I watch all your videos this is one of the best...

Mistakes are good. They help you learn.👌🏻

I just realized I've been watching your videos for some time as they were recommended but I was not subscribed. I fixed that. Thank you for these really cool videos. It is something I don't ever see myself doing, but I do enjoy watching.

Excellent 🤙

look how smooth everything works

Right on Jason thanks alot all the time you really give me a good idea to keep learning about mining minerals and especially precious metals see ya 😊

Blimey, that WAS a lot of work! I watched every second and enjoyed it immensely !

Super stuff

Love it I've been waiting for this one!

Hey !that truly amazing good video ,keep them conming

Inquarting I believe its called. Diluting the gold with silver or even copper to purify it. Seems crazy but works amazing!

Your channel has really improved, I've been enjoying catching up. Someone needs an oiling can. You really have that table tuned good.

Hey, there is a channel by a jeweler named sreetips who does silver/gold inquarting, and he makes some of the most pure gold I've seen on YT. Maybe you can get with him or do some work together to build both of your channel bases like you have with dan heard and ghost town living.

I admire your tenacity

Looks like fun would love to join you next time not afraid of some hard work for that shiny

Dude after seeing that bat, that would be the end of my prospecting for the day! I want to point out how good of shape your in Jason, walking that material up and down that ladder

Hi Jason, AWESOME!! Dynamite video! Very exciting to see the gold line go across the shaker table. It will be very interesting to see what the #2 concentrates button produces in gold/silver. Also looking forward to the assay results from the #4 waste. How many gold specimens did you not crush & refine? Stay safe!! Thank You for another fantastic video. Jim

You are one tough dude.

This was good to see ,,I’m subbed.

Finally an answer to my question if the gold and silver can be separated. I can't wait until that video comes out. Please be as detailed as possible. Did you smelt the pan of #4 tailings?

You can use an electromagnetic separator to separate the Galina from the gold. To do so, have the powder run past the magnet on a thin stream on a conveyer. The gold and silver will get kicked away while the rest goes straight through. Magnitite, if present, will stick to the magnet. Old microwave transformed with the primary attached, but the secondary hacked off so it makes an E core works well. Hook 3 in series for 120VAC.

You have the best shaker table

I get it about parting, nasty acids, vacuum filtering, at least you can popcorn quench to avoid rolling, but the gold you get is so buttery yellow!

Bring me !! haha . Awesome videos never prospected or mined in my life. But super interested in your videos and content. Keep it up

Exciting stuff Jason! Part 2! Excellent! Let’s GO!

New camera? Video looks great!

Enjoyed it thoroughly Jason . Can’t wait to see the outcome of the actual gold content. Thanks for taking us along 👍

as you mention - seems like 70% 30 mesh and 50% 50 mesh isn't small enough to collect all the smaller gold. also appears that there are some larger quartz chunks passing thru as well. what would it take to get it down to sub 100 mesh? dreamy vein for sure. great stuff, thanks for the share, enjoy your challenges as well as successes!

Jason, you're doing great with the Oregon claim. I'm kinda happy (sorry) about you needing to crush your ore down finer to free up more gold. I assume you're using a roll mill or a noisy ball mill? Hope it is a roll mill that works with the hammer mill. Love the work you do and look forward to buying another hard rock plant from you again....Bryan in Oregon

Wooooohooooooo!!!!!

Interesting

To separate the Au and Ag from the buttons you'll need to inquart with some more Ag to bring the Au concentration to around 25% or less. Too much Au will prevent the HNO3 from getting to all the Ag. An excellent book that some refiners consider as the bible on this subject is "Refining Precious Metal Wastes" by CM Hoke.

Real great video man. But the Hammermill need some grease imo =P Love the content!

Talk about a load of muck! Nice mining👍

I like watching this, because I wouldn't go there! It looks like a big mouse trap to me. I thank you for sharing.

You really need to make a Christmas/Holiday fireside video of the close up of the boiling "surface of the sun" as everything cools. I could watch that for hours. Combine all of your footage so it is constantly changing. Maybe even have it as a screensaver.

Very informative and entertaining - even though I don't understand your lingo 👍

Yeah boi!

Super cool, can't wait to see the results. Sreetips is all set up for refining. Maybe you could collaborate with him.

Outstanding work. I was glued to the vid, even though I've never been into the pursuit. But I was a science teacher, so I love the many techniques to concentrate the gold you use. Wow. I'm looking forward to the follow-up.

Hell yea bro
