It would be cool if the gold Butch found somehow ended up melted into jewellery that his wife can have with her but it may not have been enough in terms of the amount of gold. It was very nice of you to do this in memory of butch and of course you (and all of us) got some fun out of the process/video.

Just the very fact you helped Phyllis out and butch. Is just another facet of the man you are. There's no gold more valuable than the gold in our hearts. Great job. Thanks.

Wow that's awesome of you to do Butch's paydirt and my condolences to his wife and family. 🙏 R.I.P BUTCH YOU'LL BE NOT FORGOTTEN..AS LONG AS WE ARE ALIVE YOUR MEMORY WILL LIVE ON.....

What a cool opportunity, and what a nice way to showcase Butch’s hard work. Also, I could watch that black sand separator all day.

Shane, forgive a boneheaded question: Why not fabri-cobble a simple mercury retort? (They are only like 180 bucks ready made, if you want) Just seemed like a bad idea free venting boiling mercury nitrate fumes. With a retort you didn't have to worry as much about the fumes, and the mercury could then be sold/disposed of. Anyways, I highly enjoyed the video, and good on you for doing this for Butch and his widow.

Gold recovery if fascinating, Sreetips here on KZread refines a bunch of different metals using chemicals, I could watch it for hours 😀

God bless the late BUTCH, RIP my friend, these treasures should bring your family some joy and a little wealth I hope, and thank you Mr Klesh

Just a suggestion for cleaning the mercury sample. Get a large needle from a plastic/fiberglass store, with or without the needle remove the plunger push a wad of cotton ball into the bottom of the needle barrel. Add the mercury, replace the plunger, add distilled water to a beaker, submerge the needle point and push it in. The mercury will flow out, will not splatter and when submerged will trap mercury vapours. It is a bit safer for you that way. Great video, good of you to help the lady, sorry Butch is no longer prospecting here. Cheers

Shane as always your one class act in helping out Butch's widow.

That magnetic material separator is FREAKING AWESOME

You are wonderful!! I’ve helped finish quilting projects and it means so much to have these things finished! And I love how you put people first!

Great work Shane. Very generous putting your time toward recovering Butch's gold for his family. 👍👍

Shane, I have been a follower for a long time. Mercury begins to vaporize at room temperature. So When working with mercury you always do it under water otherwise you run the danger of inhaling toxic fumes. When you were using the Miller table you had the water running way to fast(its not a sluce). Run it low and slow. If you see one piece of gold moving, it's to fast. A miller table is for cleaning concentrates to 99-100%.

@@Klesh Perfect. I am more worried about your health. The Mercury is very dangerous (from what they say). I played with it as a kid. No wonder I'm all messed up🤣. All the steps you did were good but if you do it under water it adds a level of protection. The mercury can't become airborne under water. Just looking out brother.

You can also use the hex end of a wrench to synch the shop towel. Just feed the towel through and do the same as you did with your hand.

Enjoyed the video Shane, you know your 💩 man, and it was a great thing to do for a fallen Brother Brother prospector and his widow ! Thanks for what you do man ! PEACE 🙂🌞✝️

Great job fam. Keep on having fun getting that au. Gold Squad Out!!!

I used to do this with stainless steel sintered filters, and I would say that if your apparatus is giving off brown nitrous oxides, you've got the hotplate a little bit too high. Doing that doesn't do anything except create gas pollution, so turn it down a tad. When you're getting rid of acid, add the acid to the water and use plenty of water. Oh, and two pairs of gloves, one on top of the other. Doing this always scared me worse than pipetting phosphoric acid.

I am so glad I'm here it makes a guy feel pretty good to see you helping out and that you have a good heart. God bless.

I spent many summers in Oregon digging black gold and gold panning. It was especially fun to go to the old dried up river beds remove some of the old rocks and dig through the black sand. We never left empty-handed. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. I love these videos.

I’ve been following for years and I really have a great appreciation for how much you enjoy what you do. I’m so glad your life fulfills you. We can see through your videos that you are a kind hearted person yet strong enough to maintain and persist and work hard. Thank you so much for showing us all of the interesting ways we can be involved in prospecting and treasure hunting

This shows how diverse you are. Way to help that lady, she is gonna be surprised. That was great hunting Butch!!!!

This was a very very excellent video of kindness and generosity, what a great learning experience and a cool thing to experience to get to witness 😀 Thanks for sharing

That was extremely kind and thorough of you! Excellent gold!

great video, love to see her reaction when you retun the gold

Wow there was a lot more gold in that mercury than I thought there was gonna be!!

Watched that whole convo go down on the Facebook page. Glad you could help her out!

GREAT JOB. IT WAS VERY NICE OF YOU HELPING PHYLLIS OUT.

I remember reading about this in the group!! So cool you did this!!

Been following you for years, every video is a new venture.

Living here in East anglia in England we don't have much gold to find and I have never done any paning myself but I love watching your vids, thanks 🙂

Gotta love pay dirt videos!

I'm an old ac guy of 40 years and the old t stats were mercury bulb stats. The Mercury is very magnetic and conductive. I wonder if your machine would separate the amalgam from the mercury. It all bonds together in a ball on a magnet. My old boss used to save the mercury from the old stats and spilled one, He took a magnet and it picked it all up and it made one ball, very cool video. As always I'm one of the 98 percent still watching!

That is awesome you did that for that lady and in memory of her husband. Also thanks for the cool video! Gold panning looks like so much fun but I live in Florida and I also had an above knee amputation so it's not like I could go do it but I think it would be awesome. I know to some people the gold you recovered from Butch's pay dirt may not seem like much but to his precious wife that will always be a cherished memory. Once again thanks for what you do!!

That is so very kind of you guys. 💜💜💜

We used a wet sheep chamois like your paper towel but non tear tough. The new neodymium magnets change the whole game. The magnetic sand can be caught before it plugs the riffles and in much larger quantities. Grinding the black sand under water with lab grade gloves in an amalgamated copper pan will get the maximum values out of iron stained gold. A retort is always a big plus and in some areas additional mercury may be recovered. I would hesitate to use any acid outside a laboratory environment because the fumes can be deadly, excepting 5% vinegar, under cool temps to keep the mercury free of oils. You can get very good at this and there is a lot of gold to be had in some old mine dumps. Gold fever is very real, better watch it!

What a pleasure to watch an interesting video with zero hype. You restored my faith in humanity.

Interesting video. Mercury is such a weird metal to see it react with gold is interesting. Thank you Phyllis for sharing Butch passion.

Followed for couple years now, they picked you because you seem like an honest good person, keep up the great vids bro!

Awesome video! Man that was a cool of you to do that in his memory. That means alot to his family. I have to check out the slayer miller table.

Really cool video.... like the different ways of separating gold from material......It will cost me because now I want a sluice box, magnet separator, and and more pay dirt......

This is such a cool video! Shoutout to Butch

Instant like 👍 cheers Shane 🍻

The idea that you can ust squeeze mercury through paper towels feels so weird like it's a heavy liquid metal and it's getting filtered like coffee lol

I sometimes use mercury to collect gold. I have a small medicine syringe about 1/2 inch in diameter and 4 inches long with a removable plunger. I put a small piece of cotton batten in the bottom, pour in my mercury amalgam and put the plunger back in and slowly push the plunger down, squeezing out the clean mercury. If you hold the tip of the syringe near the bottom of your container while squeezing, you will not get any splashing of the mercury. Take out the cotton batten after and process to get your gold. You can also use the syringe to suck up the mercury after and put back in your bottle.😃

Well done Shane. Butch would be proud.

This was a 5 Star video! It was extremely informative, interesting, not too long, and done gratis to help out the widow of one of ore (pun intended) gold panning brethren. It’s no wonder that you have bragging rights for having one of the most popular webcasting sites. PS: Don’t think I’ve ever seen your hair chopped off so short as on this video.

That was probably one of my favorites. That was way cool of you

I wouldn’t just assume that the magnetic material is devoid of gold. I’ve read papers that successfully extract locked up gold from “Barron black sand” already extracted with mercury. It may not be worth the trouble considering that this material came from Alaska. But, it’s well known that black sands from tropical regions contain significant gold values. For example, in Brazil, they call it black gold and I’ve seen prospectors find black gold nuggets from sluicing material in virginia. In tropical environments the gold is often concealed by organic debris & iron, which is why the 17lb gold nugget found by Conrad Reed in North Carolina in the late 1700’s was used as a door stop for several years. It simply didn’t look like gold because it was likely a consecration produced by bacteria in a tropical environment.

Very cool.
