Richest Black Sand Smelt I've Ever Done! No Visible Gold/Silver, Huge Precious Metal Button
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 05. 2020
- We recovered A LOT of gold and silver from these black sand concentrates that didn't have any visible gold or silver in them. This was a sample of concentrates off one of our MBMM shaker tables that a customer sent up for us to test our smelting setup on and WOW were we surprised with the resulting button. Just goes to show that smelting/assaying black sands may be worth it especially if they come from rich gold ore. Don't throw anything away until you know its actually junk.

Thanks Jason, I have been studying your videos on smelting and I will be setting myself up to recover my fine gold from my concentrates as the gold I am able to produce is very fine and difficult to separate further through gravity separation. By showing your problem pours along with your successful pours it should help me assemble a system and reduce my cash outlay for the system.
Thanks again,
Bob Wall
By far the best real life educational smelting video I've seen. I enjoyed watching. Thank you.
That claim owner has to be happy with your results!! That was a good video/lesson learned to not throw out your black sands untill they are officially done with.. great video....
So cool how the density tests worked out, very interesting! Thank you for sharing those methods.
really well-done. i'm getting a lab set-up this winter for small smelts and your vids really help tremendously. well done!
Great video as usual. I think you are generating alot of interest in smelting... and clearing up alot of questions about it.
Thanks!
Jason, that is absolutely awesome. I am so glad I have saved most of my black sand cons tailings.
Again you have the best Info for smelting gold ore , step by step and that's why you are my favorite chanal . Thank u
Great videos you have been putting out. Although I live where there are no sources for neither silver nor gold I really like your straightforward explanantions and demonstrations. I find the whole process very fascinating and I hope you will continue to do well.
Thanks for the info! All this time I've been panning out my black sands, and I could have just melted them...way faster! Thank you for sharing the tools and material you used, now I know what to order for my summer time project.
Not only that.. all the nonvisable material. Lesson learned for me, luckily I've only chucked 1 bucket of black sands thinking it was done after blue bowling it all. Looking through the loupe I was always wondering what those shiny metallic silverish grains were.
thats why you save the black sands because you never know if there’s still gold
Jason congratulations for and awesome instructional video. I'm glad that I saw this because our alluvial claim has very small micro gold that is hard to pan out but we have huge amounts of sulfides. Since this is the second video I seen of your work I would like to send samples and evaluate our recovery process. Best Regards
Amazing! must keep all black sands. Very little here in middle Tennessee. What an education I'm getting. Thank you
How many people are kicking themselves for throwing out possibly enough gold and silver to buy a house, if you've been doing it for years!!!
Have a GREAT Day!!!
makes me want to find someones tailings and run that stuff
True
Hard work fascinates me. I could watch it for hours.
I have a forge I built but need a smelter . So I’m building one as well. Refining my first cat ! Appreciate your vids! Thanks for the info
Dont put your cat in the smelter.
For anyone wondering the gold content in that button is worth about $540.00~$560. The silver is worth about $2.00-$3.00.
Thank you.That is just AWESOME!
and the palladium content around $5
🤑🤑
Jason anyone who does not like your videos should look behind and down. These Videos are so informative in a year think 2 I will be trying my hand at it. You are a very good teacher. Thanks Ray
Wow jason ,the camera dint lie ,that bead looked gold !
Thanks mate for another awesome video.
Bro you make math and science fun, awesome channel I always enjoy and learn something new thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Amazing results, Great channel BTW
I am neither a miner nor a smelter- I still find your videos very interesting. Well edited and produced.
WOW. great return. I couldn't believe how a material makes up 3% of the whole, yet is invisible to the naked eye. I'd figure to see at least ALMOST microscopic specks of gold or silver in it. I smelt, and recover/refine gold, and started to do the same with silver. The pyyamid cupel route is absolutely worth learning. I appreciate what you are doing. Where are you from?
Very interesting. You seem to have a good understanding of how things work.
Another great and informative vid Jason , you were pretty close with your gold content estimate almost 65 % on the XRF gun , ohh how i would love one of those things , but very expensive indeed , lol , top vid mate cheers .
Great video! I really enjoyed this one!
Great video. Very nice gold from that small sample. I have a few buckets of dredge cons That I usually run through a clean up sluice wit silicon mats. I have a small foundry that would do the smelt. I guess I need to watch more of your vids.😎👍👍👌👌⛏⛏
Invaluable information!! WELL DONE!
Hi Jason, I found the information
Thank you so much
Best Regards
Great video brother! Keep up the great work!
As usual , very informative
THANK YOU !
Absolutely epic! Love those results! I can’t wait to process my crushed gold ore, and my black sands! I even crushed the magnetite an Hematite to help release its precious metals! I’m building up for a awesome video! Thanks for the insight and great information
Do you have a trusted source for any high grade ore samples? I'm looking to do another demo video for my crusher and would like to use some good ore that will show good visible results after crushing, instead of the usual powdered material. I've seen your reviews on paydirt before and thought I'd ask about a high grade source. Thanks!
Is the black sand is iron ? I have black sand and its attachments for magnatic , is it have ore gold ?
this channel should have waaaaaay more subscribers and views.
Thank you for your smelt recipe observations, I may use this to try and hack away at some copper sulphide-rich magnetite
Wow! Big button dude!
Thanks buddy
✌️PT
I really enjoyed your video. I’m shopping fire brick and some crucibles because I really want to make an old school furnace with a plaster lid. I’ve been watching some videos getting some ideas from everyone
Really cool thanks for your dedication
The smelting and smithing videos are so cool.
Awesome explained! Great math at the end! Thanks and keep on!
Will do! More to come
That density scale is cool info for the bank. So easy to tell the karot with a desity scale thanks for info
So now you need to take that button and dissolve it in H2SO4 and HNO3 then add some Na2S2O5 (sodium metabisulfite) until your Stannis Chloride test comes back negative and smelt the precipitate for the 999 fine gold. If you capture the liquid from the precipitate and pour it in a bucket with copper in it silver will form in precipitate and cling to the copper. (yes I know that platinum group metals come out of solution with the silver in copper. You have to reprocess the silver to remove the platinum group metals) So you get all the precious metals out of the button that you can. Great video on this subject sir!!! Love your videos and the time they take.
Great vid. Still trying to figure out the smelting proccess for the placer concentrates I am recovering
Gold to Ya !
nice pour. that was cool fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Fascinating work. The thought occurred watching the mold full of poured molten material: would vibration of the pyramid-shaped vessel increase settlement of lead and precious metal? The vibration could be mechanical or mechanical as by ultrasonic vibration, possibly even radiofrequency. What do you think Jason?
Love the density formula
That was very cool. Thanks!
Great vid . Keep up the good work 👍
That's crazy.... I'm gonna have to try smelting my mailbox prospecting black sands I have left over. I've got a little furnace at home
Great presentation.
Nice video as always , Thanks jason
Still learning, thank you
You are a great teacher...Thank Q...I wonder if there might be more gold etc left...I am a thinkin a microwave the rest might be worth a look see
Impressive. Fun stuff
Thanks much for these great videos! I recall that you used to use electric kilns in your videos. Do you no longer use them?
a simple question do you have any plan on making a more permanent foundry with refractory material?
As the exposed kale wool will send out fibers thru the air, and is not good for your lungs.
instablaster
Great stuff!
I thought from the appearance it had some platinum group metal in it. It has some PD, palladium. It lightens the color and produces a rough surface. A fine concentrate is there ever was one.
Always learn much from you Jason. Once I get all the equipment if I could smelt for 4-5 dollars per session this would be practical. However there is more to be lernt about smelting, flux formulas etc.. It seems without smelting I would not recover anything in my area.
What kind of educational course would you recommend? Other than high school chemistry.
This would be better than travailing hundreds of miles away to find a few specks of gold. N'est pa?
The crucible looked like like a pieace of art!
Thanks man. I was totally curious about the cost of all this? As cheap as this is I can't wait to experiment!
Also, can i use my electric smelter in the same way you do for the first melt before finishing in a cuviet?
This was dope!
DAMN BOI!! Kinda makes me want to experiment in my area, Charlotte, NC... 1st Gold Rush in Murica, F' yeah!
Do it !! My ancestors from Ireland followed the gold trail from there into Georgia.
I have always told everyone that prospects to save their black sands and cons and use mercury. BOOM! Double production easily... this makes more sense with ga/ak fines/cons.
Thanks!
Nice lesson... , 👍
Something Ive never heard with such excitment... "Wow look at that thing, it's huge"!
Great job
Good information ❤️
Whoa....It makes you wonder about all the tailings piles all over the planet that have been left behind after thousands of years of gold mining.
Yes if those old operations were running gravitational separation of free milling gold techniques, there will be a lot left.
wow that shows why you need to keep your old cleaned out ? concentrates to later check them more carefully when you have the time.
This is probably the third time I have watched this video. Waiting on all my stuff to show up so I can start screwing up the smelting process.
I wonder if you could give me your impression of the electric furnace you’re using. I have seen fairly mixed reviews online. Yours seems to be working?
While I'd love the idea of doing this, I am so amateurish, I don't even know where to start. Thumbs Up!
I've played with the thought but that's as far as I went . to many other irons in the fire . maybe in a few years
that was great,,,,,,,,,those black sands are worth smelting,,,,,if they are like what you had,,,,,
Me - a vet techie, stumbling upo Your channel: Intresting.
Is it possible to separate/concentrate the precious metals in these black sands even more with the shaker table?
That is cool stuff, thanks for sharing, Jason.
You did black sands from under your bench that were a bust, right?
Do metal detectors give any clues just waving over a handful?
What does the iron rod surrender or collect to the smelt? -EZ
Hi Jason, as usual, another fine video from you. What brand and model of XRF gun do you recommend? If you put up an affiliate link to things like this, it will help everyone, including you.
Wow! Good job. I've got lots of black sand from Cape Cod and could not pan out anything. Maybe there was gold in it.
I know it for comments but iam having trouble smelting when i start smelting the contents is thick and sticky in the Crucible and having trouble getting it out what am i doing worng
I like the Xray anilizer ... How much would it cost to have a sample of material anilized ? How much material would be needed to get a good representation of the area i want to check out? I am have no shortage of samples to check. I know there will be alot of iron. There is enough garnet to give a red tone to the black sands. There is ultra heavy blond sand that I think is shelite. A.k.a. tungensten sands. It easily falls under magnitite and garnet and iron. Differant sulfates are throughout but are very fine
WOW that stuff is BRUTAL on crucibles....
So hard on them. The salamander crucibles are the way to go
I dont understand the first thing about what you're doing there but it sure is cool to watch
Yet you're on the internet with all that information at your fingertips and, ironically, within the time it took you to type this message, you could have answered yourself and NOT looked like an idiot.
And society wonders why they're doomed... no thought process and only doing as they're told.
@@kylel8605 gfy
As is your useless commenting that takes up scroll space...
great vid
Thank you sir godbless💖
Very interesting!!!
Jason another great video I saw you used an iron rod again how do you keep the precious metals off the rod? And you were using Portland cement as a qupel in a previous video, how did you keep it in the shape of a cup? And do you recommend Portland cement as a qupel for diy'ers?
Was wondering the same he makes it look so easy and does a awsome job with the videos
👍👍 Loved the video.😜
Is it possible to put the cement into the bottom of a crucible to use as the cupel and put it into the gas furnace with the lead/gold I just got a castmasters 5kg furnace would it still work the same ?
If the black sands were ground finer, would the shaker table then be able to separate the gold out? Since it stands to reason the super fine precious metals are lost in the larger granules of sand
Sir, whatever quantity you have told to mix in this, how much quantity to mix: and what are their names, will you tell me
The ancient Romans sold a lot of lead from which they had removed the silver content, marking the ingots “ex argentum”. Any idea how they managed that on an industrial scale? Just curious, and you might have some info. Next, how did they refine all the silver from lead in Leadville , CO?
check de re metallica or pirotechnia of vannoccio biringuccio
Very nice
so what your saying is to keep all of your black sands from the clean up till you get how much? then ship to a refiner? just making sure i get this straight,, thank you for another great video, be safe, be strong, be free, be blessed
"Let's have a look... (pause) ...HOLY COW!!!!!!!"
What's the best refinery to sale your melted gold to. Plus hopefully give you money for the other metals to
i loved your video, finally someone that can put it in plain english. Do you have a refining business?
Very good
Very interesting
I found pyrite in my water bore hole on 35 meter's. Is there a chance of gold in further depth?
Good job with cuppellation , what’s the weight of new cupel just heard that it absorbs 60-70% of lead , please
