That is so great we have the ability now to find such small amounts of gold vs. back to what the old prospectors had..just their eyes!! Great seeing it like that! Thank you for sharing!!😊

Caustic soda is considerably faster than HcL. But it is so fast it's hard to stop it right at the right time.

Cool seeing you over on this channel, chris! 🙂👍

You're right Jason it would be a beautiful countertop especially with real gold flake in it

it would be an awfully small counter unless you can find a huge slab of it, lol. But it is awesome stuff.

And it would be full of lead, arsenic, sulphites, mercury, and other contaminants. It would look cool yes, and might be functional as a desktop slab, but there’s a reason no one has used it for a counter top…

Jason, there is a youtuber called hedron rockworks who makes beautiful gemstone dice. Could you colaborate with him on making a set of gold ore dice? That would probably be interesting.

Jason, what make and model of gold detector do you use? Enjoy your videos and always learn something from watching them !

Jason please get Cam of Blacktail Studio to make a end table or heck even a counter top if you had enough slabs & boy howdy would it be worth it's weight in gold 😉

That'd be incredible

Amazing my dad has that exact same 18" rock saw, I was just using it last week while I was on vacation visiting. He also has a 24" rock saw he is rebuilding, the bearings went out in it, and he gave me his old 10" rock saw that I brought back home with me here to Everson.

I'm looking forward to you finding the vein of the listwanite and starting a new mine!

Man's got a lot of faith in his friendship with that blade 😂

That was a sliding table, I had to look twice. Apparently, it's not the same danger as wood kicking back when cutting.

Yo can hold your hand on the blade and it won’t cut. It’s a weird thing

Thankyou for your very helpfull information , those slices of rock , with the gold in it , looks beautiful .

Your videos make me so restless to get out there and rockhound some more. Even if I don't find gold, That quartz is so pretty! I know I have some rocks like that, I bet there's little gold in it that would so pretty sliced!

Rusty Pockets sounds like a stage name for someone portraying an old prospector at a tourist attraction.

I'd be curious to see you pan out or smelt down the rock saw waste. I'm sure there is a fair amount of gold in there, considering you're cutting through gold.

You're cutting through a couple millimeters of microscopic gold strings... You couldn't measure the weight if you collected it all... Unless you're cutting literal TONS of rocks through this you won't be losing too much.

Wow! You actually finally found gold that you can see.

The dunite wasn't my favorite until I saw that piece that was by the edge and it is standing up and the back of it is really rough and craggie. The piece of Listwanite that you tried to make into a rectangle would have been the best for cabs. Its got some really pretty color and that crazy band of quartz is supper cool. I think I'm gonna have to invest in a tile saw, cause being on disability makes the rock saw a bit out of my budget.

Jason, i sure hope you're catching and checking the diamond saw cooling fluid! There may be Au in there. 😊

When cutting to achieve square cuts, start with a cut. That cut edge then has to shoulder up to the vise perfectly. That will make the next cut at 90° to the first. You should get the picture now. Same with logs to lumber

Cool video. Knowing the kerf of the blade creates a slurry, I wonder if that could then be processed and what it would yield? That’s a lot of gold and quartz basically made to powder during the cut. Probably won’t make you rich, but it could be interesting.

You know you've hit a good vein when you can say you have blobs of gold. Wow!

Haha, love the listwanite brother. That block is a definate carver. Thanks for sharing

Great video Jason. Love seeing the insides of rocks. I’m sure we’re all wondering how the mine development is going. Will this mine be a mine type that you only work I. The summer???? Absolutely enjoy everything your doing.

Great cuts. Good job Jason.

When you cut with the lapidary oil saw are you and can you retrieve the gold from the fines that collect in the saw oil reservoir?

Appreciate these cutting rock videos looking for gold. Dont get to see dunite, mariposite, or pyrrhotite and quartz rock here in the California and Arizona deserts much except at rock shows. So, thanks for the video. Love it when you cut into the bonanza grade gold ore from your mine...

Great specimens Jason. 👍

That Jason guy ----- Playing with his new TOY ;) Thanks again

Jason, get a small piece of sheet rubber, maybe four inches wide and 6in long or so and poke a couple holes in the narrow end and sticks some bailing wire through it and wire it to hang down just behind the tile saw blade like a Truckers mudflap. That way all that gold slurry you're spitting off the back the blade all over your workbench will hit that rubber and drop down into your trough and then you'll be able to pan that out later. Love your videos

I always wondered what my bookends are made of... Listwanite! Great video, and the big part of Dunite#6 resembles half dome.

I fell in love with that rock when I saw it rocks are cool😊 with its unique features

Awesome video Jason. I love what you do with the rocks. The Dunite is beautiful I can't believe it's come from the centre of our planet that's awesome. I love how you cut that rock. Don't get to excited about Vo Gus he's well mostly let's say full of it.

I love watching this type of video. I recently got back from a gold and mineral prospecting tour of the Michigan UP and brought back some nice specimens that I am going to slab out as well.

Great looking ore! Congrats!

I liked that dunite pair with the defect in the face.

How do you clean the gold from the saw?

Excellent Jason thanks for sharing this six stars

You might as well go bye the polishing wheels now . I think you have a new addiction . Great stuff man.

I like all your videos..thanks for sharing all this information...I have a question what's with the headstone in this video...

That would look really cool as a counter top! Nice.

If you push pressure on the rocks towards the blade whenever you're cutting, it won't ship off at the end

Nice job Jason. That rock looks like Michegan.

Wow great gold quartz

Excellent.

They would be great unless you don't have enough to make tile but you should consider making some shapes that you can sell for inlays on a countertop

Very cool.

Hi Jason, are you going to do a video of the dust from your rock saw going through that shaker table of yours?

With a lot of slab cutting and the gold that you’re seeing. After a year or so would it be worth reclaiming the rock dust in the bottom of the machine?

You should have some nice gold when you clean out your rock saw!

I’d love seeing gold down in my quartz too! Trouble is, all the quartz I’ve ever found, crushed down, and panned out didn’t have SQUAT. Didn’t see anything in it with my jewelers loop either… oh well. Guess I’ll keep lookin.. 😉👍

Dude, do you try to recover the ~1/8" of gold bearing material that the blade cuts through? Collect and pan out the cutting oil bath?

Jason, check the rock dust from the wet saws and hopegully you will have lots of fine gold collected for refining.

The broken part on it is cool. I'd want it like that.

If you have an iPhone 13 Pro Max or 14 pro max you can do macro mode. I’ll usually turn the flash on, cover the lenses to make it dark enough for the flash to come on, start recording video and then get up nice and close. It’s seriously so crazy how close up it gets and the amount of detail is amazing! Just a tip if you wanna consider that!

It won't chip off at the end if you push pressure towards the blade with a rocks. Not a whole lot of pressure but a little bit. I've been in tile setter for 45 years

Hey Jason. You should get all the dust you've cut off of the rocks and the ore and send it out to a fan or auction it off the dust from your saws. You know there's gold in that dust dude

The green and white angle vain looks like the scubadiving flag very nice

*Epic!*

As allways, very interresting videos from you Jason. Another interresting thing i hope you will share with us, how much gold there is in the dustbin under the saw?

Are you saving your rock saw tailings to refine to get the gold out?

I had a buddy of mine go into Silver City and he got some samples brought them back. Use my rock Crusher and got everything out. But when he melted, it turned green.. Hymn and I were both wondering why it was green can you answer that

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

Do you save your waste water off the masonry saw and see if gold is in it. Since of the high consecrate of the ore.

I would love to see you pan out the cuttings from the rock saw

nice.. be really careful around HF acid. That stuff is really brutal if you get even a tiny drop on you.

ok thats it im coming over!

Make sure you run those tailings that the saw left behind

You need to pan out the saws "tailings" Jason!!!

wonder how much you could recover from the sludge from the saw when it comes time to clean it out

U rock n u know it fellow rockhound

It's crazy how your microscope Video shots Of the rock make it look like a distant planet as seen through a telescope. I guess that's the fractal effect.

Ever do a continuity test to see if the gold you see carries through to opposite side as a ribbon?

Jason, I think you will need pan out the dregs for the saw, cutting through all that ore, gold fragments would have to be in there…..

You need to take the material cut from the kerf stuck in the basin of that rock saw and throw it on the shaker table, i bet there's gold in there.

So if the saw cuts a 16th to 8th inch wide, perhaps there will be some fine gold in the bottom of the oil?

I hope you are having Mick go thru for the gems u can't see cuz wow there are lots of red ones.(garnets, probably)

Show gostei Gold Gold 👏👏👏👏

WOW! 😮

What do you do with your cutting fluids? Cuz there's gold in them

I was wondering what the quarts looked like. It has a milky apperance. It doesnt have much cystaline apperence

Oh man, you're crazy with that saw! 😳 great videos, and i can't wait to see more of the mine be careful out there 🫡

Jason, What are you up to? We cant wait for the mine operations! ;)

Good morning Jason

When we going to see your mine ?

That small rock with all the gold and sulfides would look so cool polished or made into cabochons. You may not want to indiscriminately crush all the ore from your mine.

Now the lube oil is contaminated with gold lol. Smeltng that would be awesome lol is there any way to recover that ? I get its not economical but still curious.

Here I thought this was going to be a Prospecting 101 lecture and it turned into an advertisement for your ebay store. I hope you pan the sludge from your cuttings tank. Those diamonds ripped gold out of the larger nuggets, you can see the gouge lines.

might want to pan out your lapidary saw tray after cutting all that

Pan out the sediment in the rock saw tray

Reminds me of a dwarf song. It goes, GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD! GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD!

Wow this guy really likes gold

wich sulfide is this in rocks with gold

Try RV antifreeze for rock slab saw lube for dry slabs that aren't contaminated with oil

I find a lot of quartz which looks like that in Georgia & Alabama, but the "gold" always ends up being mica or pyrite! Lucky me...

Салом аз Точикистон

Juicy ore. Good luck

This rock is like Dan Nurd ocean rock!

شكرا لك

Hey Jason, Do you know a you tube channel called Factora video name how gold is made is using your video in their video at the 2:25 minute mark. Just an fyi cause I have been a long time viewer and know how hard you work on these videos. Ill shoot you an email if I don't see you respond. Cheers man, keep up the great work

Did you ever live in Grand junction CO?

How much gold is lost in the oil by the kerf?

Keep track of your saw cut dust. After a time there should be something worth smelting there.

118👍's up Jason thank you for sharing 🎉😅
