I like his energy hahaha

This cleared up ALOT for me and my young nephew....these topics are a healthy and invigorating past time...Glad to see you are so enthusiastic..we are too!! Good vid!!

Great Jeff! A really important distinction to make (differentiating between pyrite and gold). Thanks for making it fun to watch.

Thanks for the great response. If I do this all successfully will the remaining gold be able to be separated out in a gold pan? Or will it be too fine?

Or you could hold a lit match to it for a few seconds. Pyrite will blacken, gold won't.

I found this interesting as I had to develop these ways of telling myself as I don't notice the colour difference being red green colour blind. It is amazing what you don't think about.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for making all these videos, it's a great resource. Is there anything a hobbyist miner can do to get the gold out of know gold bearing sulfides? If so may I suggest you do a video on the methods. In my personal case it is tetradymite (gold-bearing bismuth telluride). Thanks again.

Dan Hurd hi

Six year s after its posted I'm just now seeing it and still educating those that are interested in knowing.

This was actually so helpful. Thanks Jeff.

He’s definitely cool and very entertaining reminds me of an old friend of mine he’s just having fun doing what he does and that’s great

I like your energy. And you share information very well. Top man, Jeff!

Very good bud, I'm learning a lot on your videos. Keep up the good work.

You know that you've made a good series when you already have 20 views an hour after you posted at 2am on a Saturday morning lol. You have great videos and character to boot. Thanks for all the helpful tips, my father and I are getting into the hobby very soon ourselves. Many good finds to you sir!

I have watched many videos and documentaries about gold but this guy as made me understand...and learn in a way that I can never forget..thanks..

First impressions are usually right. I laughed and liked your video a lot. Things are moving to youtube type entertainment. You already have a great show. Maybe it will be even more successful in the future.

When I was in my 30's I had that much energy but sadly those days are long gone. Keep up the good work Jeff...

Please advice,my land more pyrites it is possible more gold?how to find?

Love his videos. Wealth of Knowledge

Of course you would be the first KZreadr that pops up when I want to see the difference between gold and pyrite!!❤ I pretty confident on the two of them but I recently found a specimen that I'm having trouble with. It comes from a gold producing area and it is definitely gold ore because it was found next to old mine thank you again for your great videos ❤

Cool vids man I live in the Mojave Desert a few miles from the whipple Mountains. herd there was gold in those mountains. Going to get some prospecting gear. Your videos help alot thanks .

What is the name of these stones, from which gold is extracted, and do you have a picture of it?

Hey Jeff. Another way to tell the difference between gold and pyrite is in the sun light and shadows. When sun shines on gold and pyrite they both look like gold but cast a shadow on both of them and the gold stays gold color while the pyrite changes color

If you were panning or using something like a manual or auto sluice, would pyrite pieces float and get pushed out or would they be heavier than dirt and also sink down with the gold to be confusing? I'm thinking that because they are light and flaky, they'd probably float on the water and go out with the dirt, but not sure.

Hi jeff I have been getting alot of pyrite in my pan with some gold. about a 2 to 10 ratio. what's the best way to get rid of pyrite and keep the gold? it's all very very small.

pretty cool, good teacher and your fun to listen to

A question for you Jeff were I live is very close to the Fraser river in BC Canada . A short distance from my place is a old arm of the Fraser river that has filled in and only really flow's at high water . some area's have been mined for gravel and than left to fill in with ground water . would this sort of area be worth trying or would it be a waste of time .

No problem Jeff. By the way your video made me want to find some gold, just ordered 2 pan, a clasifier and a snuff bottle.. My grand mother's house is near an old ''gold river'' that used to be prospected a long and a long time ago, just about to check if there's nothing left for me haha. Have a good day man

Thank You for the great info... luv it.

Just like your sayings and videos, Have a lot of fun trying to keep up with your endings.

Can you put vinegar on iron pyrite and will it change color? I’ve got what I think is gold on quartz and put a drop of vinegar on it and no changes in color or anything else
