That's a lot of knowlege about chemistry he has there. I think Jeff Williams is actually a very intellectual person. It's amazing what kind of show he is pulling off here.
Yeah, here in America we call that "smarter than he looks"! This young man is ASTOUNDING! PURELY ASTOUNDING! I Hope he has a happy life. He has more energy in him than a lot of normal men. And smart! OooooooohWeeeeeee! Runs around like a kid. But so what! That gold he gets ain't no joke.
Ask Jeff Williams ..Hello sir , what do you know about gems ? is gold found with amethyst ? I've found a pretty good vain of the stuff in a well known gold area ... I don't see any of your videos referencing to anything about gems .. can you make a video about that, or is that not something your familiar with ..
If the mercury is in separate balls in the pan, take a 9V battery and touch one post to a ball and the other in the water. The mercury will come together.
You can also use a syringe and pure cotton balls instead of a chamois cloth,which is the way I like. The cotton balls decompose in the 20% HNO3 solution and the rest is burned up in your melt. Good video as always!
I have no idea how safe this procedure is that you are doing but the info of what you are doing to extract the gold is captivating. I could not take my eyes off the video. You guys are interesting. lol Very comical and I thank you for sharing.
Glad you kept emphasizing how dangerous mercury is. A lot of old timers in Goldfield, and Tonopah have mercury poisoning from drinking the water. Love your videos. Thank you Christian
When we were kids with cap guns... It was good fun... Until Scotty Peterson showed up with a fresh box of caps... and a hammer... Hg has a VERY SLIM margin for error... I mean Slim... Look at him... Didn't they used to call him "Old Retort" out at Goldfield... That "button" ain't worth yer hide... I seen em Damn sure ain't going to be one... WORK SMARTER... WORK HARDER... LEAVE THE Hg ALONE.!.!.!
Yeeeeehaaaaaaw!!! Thanks for the awesome video, guys. I think my favorite part about all of your videos is that you love what you do & you love makin' these fun & informative videos. It's good stuff.. Also, glad to see Slim is doin' good! Take care
A friend from Reno found 4 55hal drums of Mercury. He and some friends got them all out and took them home thinking they could find someone to buy it. Last I heard he still had it and was willing to give it away. He wishes he didn't take it now he is responsible for it.
this is my favorite video, sure wish i could see a drawing of the retort explaining how the mercury floats and the gold drops, aw wait i just explained it
My dad used to play with mercury in school (the school handed it out) on his desk, no gloves, no safety equipment. He's still alive and well.... Bunch of pansy's these days.... Keep the videos coming Jeff!
I accidentally ate mercury when I was a toddler,im58 now with a recent diagnosis of segmental arterial mediolysis SAM for short..... Better to be carefully you never now what can get you down the line..I'm actually looking for some now to do a run
I was panning in prescott az and found some nice flakes. put them in a vial and when I got home, they turned silver. then I remembered seeing some mercury in my pan. guess I was panning in a mercury pool probably left behind by miners in the 1800's. I drank a bunch of the water too, haven't done a #2 right since.
good job , good on safety ,yeah I like to tell your a story when I was mining out in the desert and really hot places I seen Mercury flowing out of the rocks and you can just pick it up with a piece of paper I know the old timers did it wrongly a lot but they didn't know what there handling . I'm always enjoyed watching your videos .
No such word as lazy in the gold mining culture! I am likewise mighty impressed with your intellect, humor, and your effort to teach! Grateful to see your videos Jeff! Be careful to keep that mercury from splashing you!
What a coincidence my kids mom is a gold digger that’s 100% lye too, or at least she lyes 100% of the time, and she’s toxic just like the mercury. Brings back old memories
great video, we found last year that our charged mercury picked up more than gold from our hard rock , and added to weak nitric dropped some crystals. still testing. the retort got cherry red and when cooled still had mercury coated substance in the cup. very strange indeed..... but that's mining! keep educating folks
Heavy metals from Chem Trails? I'm seeing new extremely fine heavier than gold showing up on my claims. Some Platinum occurs in my district, though not known to be found where I am.
That would be cool, if not a little tedious. If it has bluing, that would need to be removed first. And then of course he would need to completely disassemble it, which shouldn't be too much of an issue. Those cap and ball revolvers are definitely cool. You can just order them online too, delivered straight to your house lol (the ATF doesn't define them as firearms).
Jeff, I'm surprised you didn't see any reaction between the mercury and the aluminum cup you used in the retort, especially being heated like it was. Loved the video and enjoyed reading all the important comments about the toxic nature of mercury.
Yeah WTF right? At those temps( hell room temp for that matter) The slighted knick in the pacification layer should have just turned that to dust even if the atmosphere was devoid of 02. I am honestly curious how it did not just turn to dust when he pulled it out immediately.
idk why he put the aluminum cup there, but its not really going to effect anything, the aluminum is much more reactive than the gold, so its easy to separate later on. and the aluminum does not boil, so its easily separated from the mercury. without any oxygen, the aluminum can't oxidize in the cup, and so there is really no problem with adding an aluminum cup. aluminum and mercury don't chemically react. the mercury simply sticks to the aluminum, disturbing the oxide layer, which exposes the aluminum to the air more, and so the aluminum oxidizes. but that doesn't happen if there is no air.
I always look froward to your videos. I got a friend on them as well. We plan to try panning for gold we quit our day jobs due to age. Bought detectors and going to get some gold stuff. I don't think we can bounce around those rocks like you do but we'll give it hell. So soon we'll be saying come on get it done. You thought I was going to "say let's go" didn't ya.
I used to find amalgam gold near an old mine. My brother used to use mercury coated copper plates in a recirculating sluice he made. We would crush ore up and run it thru. He used the tater trick. But he an acid to cause the mercury to coat the copper sheets. Another trick to clean the mercury was a wet cotton ball inserted in a syringe. Pull out the plunger, put in the wet ball, then put in the mercury. Put the plunger back in and slowly push it thru the cotton.
Hi Jeff, Great video, and thanks for emphasizing safety!!! I have Mercury that has been stored in a sealed jar for decades. Why store Mercury underwater? Say hi to Silver Spurs Lila, Pops, Nevada Jack, and grumpy old Slim. Take care my busy friend.
Hi Jeff, as I am in Australia I have no idea if you have your own TV show. If you don't then I am horrified that no network has snapped you up. You clearly have the best vid's out there. Top stuff well done Mate hehe, keep it going.
Excellent episode. Could you please do one on the use of Nitric Acid? Please go a bit deeper into the cleaning and re charging mercury as well. It's a lost art that many don't share. I did get critical information out of this, particularly storing that under water. At one point I stored those amalgamated chunks in my bedroom!
You have tons of knowledge, they keep getting better. Mercury was used big time up in the Alison mine, it's why they say do not drink from the stream but I have and I still am walking, I THINK??? or, is this one big dream. cheers guys
Hi Alan, thanks really appreciate that and we try. I get and it never goes away and in some places it has been sitting at the low spots of rivers and creeks collecting Gold for over 100 years. We know of people who go looking for it just for this reason, could be and we are in your Dream and not real or you are in ours.
New drinking game! The word for tonight is "amalgam". Try it! You'll be plastered waaay before the end of the video! Jeff Williams is some of the very best entertainment on CZcams, and that's significant added value for all the mining and prospecting information that you watch for.
ole jeff..lol you beet me to another vid bro lol..was getting ready to do the same thing lol...good one as well...this is what i do to all 50 mesh and below...
Thanks for the video, A&B are good people, I am a customer. We bought one of the distilling retorts, as you have here. The modifications you made are exceptional, the cooling of the coil, very smart, and the extension to the firing cup. The only thing we do different, is we put our black sand through a coffee grinder, to separate from Hematite, and then we cook it. In doing so, it releases the sulfites. This is a really good video, and very usful, if you have good black sands.
Jeff & Slim great video and nice hit on some of the safety issues with "mercury " . Mercury is such a nasty metal to work with and getting rid of the toxic waste is a pain but I really enjoyed the show and probably will try it one day .. Have you thought about a video using borax to clean the gold ?
Great show and information. What does amalgamate look like in the pan, at the river? Is it still shiney or does it get a patina? I think I have some in my cons...
Your best video yet! How ever having had college chemistry I could make a couple of minor suggestions..... Keep up the good work, maybe I can catch you on down the road!
Not shilling here honest, but you can also find Hg at United Nuclear which is reagent grade and cheap if your super paranoid about getting that last bit of Au. Also while good practice to wear gloves. Metalic Hg by itself can't/isn't going to poison you on skin contact. It's when you retort it/heat it up you need to be especially careful since it does have vapors you definitely do not want to inhale.
HI Jeff, Thanks for one more video and I was actually looking for it. can you please guide us more on how that dog toy is made and how to get one if I am interested to get. Getting this toy will really help me to work on mercury in many other ways. Please guide and help. Thanks Nitin
Hi Nitin , the " Dog " is a Retort and you can buy them or build them . I will leave a link to where to get them but using Nitric Acid to remove your Mercury from Gold is a lot easier and faster. www.abprospecting.com/?q=catalog
seems like a lot of work. i have some solid mercury ive kept in a glass vile cause i know it has gold in it. i just dont have the equitment to get the gold :P great vid. maybe ill send it you
***** yeah well my body cant detox heavy metals very well (genetics sucks) so i cant be messing with mercury other wise id do it. so.. i doubt theres very much gold in the mercury i have, it probably wouldn't be worth it. (rough guess 15 to 30 dollars worth maybe) plus if i send it to you slim might take it XD ill think about it. Do you have a public PO box Jeff?
Probably why I can't find any gold in the Holston river, back in the day the Olin chemical company was pumping about 100 gallons of mercury per day into it. Well shoot.
If you can find the pockets in the river where the mercury collects, then suck it out and retort it. Should be quite a bit of recoverable gold in it, not to mention saleable mercury.
Hi Jeff.Slim and Nevada Jack. Have seen videos on using Borax,,to extract fine gold from black sand which seems to be a safer method. Will that method extract just as much gold..!! Regards Tony.👍⛏
Hey Jeff and Slim, what a fantastic and informative video. So this Amalgamate you speak about, can it be found in the bottom of your pan? I was sampling in eastern Oregon last year in some slate like material, and found a bunch of "lead like" metal bits in my pan. I have no idea what it is, and some have suggested to me that it could be some sort of Amalgamate. Any thoughts? Keep up your great work as I am saving the brain cells I have left for your vast knowledge. ;)
Thanks glad you liked it. yes and in some rivers too left over from the old timers.....Amalgam s Shiney and lead is very soft. Thanks we will and we have more on the way.
I love how enthusiastic you are in your videos man. You're informative without being dry and boring.
That's a lot of knowlege about chemistry he has there. I think Jeff Williams is actually a very intellectual person. It's amazing what kind of show he is pulling off here.
Thanks , I wish Slim would say that but all he tells me is to get back to work chump.
@@Askjeffwilliams slim is such a slave driver...or should I say he's a grave driver?? 🤓
Yeah, here in America we call that "smarter than he looks"! This young man is ASTOUNDING! PURELY ASTOUNDING! I Hope he has a happy life. He has more energy in him than a lot of normal men. And smart! OooooooohWeeeeeee! Runs around like a kid. But so what! That gold he gets ain't no joke.
Jeff and Slim you guys are rock stars. Stand up comedy and expert essential advice. Can't stop watching. I love what you' re doing.
Another brilliant video full of know how and safety. Thank you Jeff, Slim and the rest of the Clan, keep them coming
Another funny "20 minutes" with Jeff Williams ... YES.
Thank you ... and ciao ciao da William from Italy !!!
Yes ... You are international :-)
Thanks you William from Italy and real glad to know me and Slim are international . Take Care my friend.
Jeff William subscribe to me please, it would make my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ask Jeff Williams ..Hello sir , what do you know about gems ? is gold found with amethyst ? I've found a pretty good vain of the stuff in a well known gold area ... I don't see any of your videos referencing to anything about gems .. can you make a video about that, or is that not something your familiar with ..

That "button" ain't worth yer hide... I seen em
Damn sure ain't going to be one... WORK
SMARTER... WORK HARDER...
LEAVE THE Hg ALONE.!.!.!
Yeeeeehaaaaaaw!!! Thanks for the awesome video, guys. I think my favorite part about all of your videos is that you love what you do & you love makin' these fun & informative videos. It's good stuff..
Also, glad to see Slim is doin' good!
Take care
Thanks and really glad to hear that and yes he is doing good.
A friend from Reno found 4 55hal drums of Mercury. He and some friends got them all out and took them home thinking they could find someone to buy it. Last I heard he still had it and was willing to give it away. He wishes he didn't take it now he is responsible for it.
Now I have to reprocess my tailings. I didn't know about the sodium hydroxide. Thanks for the info.
you betcha my friend.
Always good to review old video's you have made. Thanks Jeff you rock buddy.
discovered your channel a few days ago and I have to say these are so much fun to watch. thank you! so cmon! let's goo!
Thanks Justin, really glad you like them.
I really enjoyed seeing a from start to finish process. And interesting with the water pump on the retort!
Thanks Norm...glad you liked it.
I'm finding mercury in my pan so this will help. As for now I need to find a separate jar for it.
A&B sells a PVC mercury press you can use with a filter. $19, I think.
this is my favorite video, sure wish i could see a drawing of the retort explaining how the mercury floats and the gold drops, aw wait i just explained it
Thanks.
My dad used to play with mercury in school (the school handed it out) on his desk, no gloves, no safety equipment. He's still alive and well.... Bunch of pansy's these days.... Keep the videos coming Jeff!
yep and Cody from Cody's lab proves that it is safe to handle.
completely agree mrturbo these libtards these days taking all of our fun away! I like do do everything slim's way
I accidentally ate mercury when I was a toddler,im58 now with a recent diagnosis of segmental arterial mediolysis SAM for short..... Better to be carefully you never now what can get you down the line..I'm actually looking for some now to do a run
Quality video - more content, less fluff. Well done Jeff and Slim, good stuff!
ty for the info got to be a easier way just thinking
I am sure slim did use the cyanide method when he was still in flesh.
That was very interesting and entertaining to watch. You are having WAY TOO much fun !

Wow again Jeff. Who would of thunk that about Mercury. Thanks. Gold on.
Big video! Real interesting and thanks for being so cool Jeff & Slim!
thanks and you betcha.
What a coincidence my kids mom is a gold digger that’s 100% lye too, or at least she lyes 100% of the time, and she’s toxic just like the mercury.
Brings back old memories
hahahhaaa
I love so much I have started to pan for gold
Thank you Jeff as always your videos are good I have microscopic gold and this is the method of any use to recover
Yes, absolutely
Awesome just like all your videos, I enjoy them all, can't wait to try them!
thanks , really glad you liked it and let us know if you have any questions.
I would love it I watch you all the time and day dream about doing this with you
great video, we found last year that our charged mercury picked up more than gold from our hard rock , and added to weak nitric dropped some crystals. still testing. the retort got cherry red and when cooled still had mercury coated substance in the cup. very strange indeed..... but that's mining! keep educating folks
Heavy metals from Chem Trails? I'm seeing new extremely fine heavier than gold showing up on my claims. Some Platinum occurs in my district, though not known to be found where I am.
You should do a video where you electro plate your pistol with gold you mined.
Interesting
That would be cool, if not a little tedious. If it has bluing, that would need to be removed first.
And then of course he would need to completely disassemble it, which shouldn't be too much of an issue. Those cap and ball revolvers are definitely cool. You can just order them online too, delivered straight to your house lol (the ATF doesn't define them as firearms).
That was an amazing video, thank you!!!
Slim cracks me up!! Hugs!! : )
Thanks Karen, glad you like it and he cracks me up too.
how many years have you been doing this love watching you your awesome and so is slim .
finally. you showed mercury. good show.
GETSOME!
I am sure slim did use the cyanide method when he was still in flesh.
You've got all the gadgets. And a lot of knowledge about this.
Thx Jeff, been wondering about how to crush those black sands.
Yep and now you know how to liberate the Gold from them.
Great video, informative as always. And entertain also.
Jeff, I'm surprised you didn't see any reaction between the mercury and the aluminum cup you used in the retort, especially being heated like it was. Loved the video and enjoyed reading all the important comments about the toxic nature of mercury.

thanks thats what i needed good information
just got my gold pans ready to go !!! lol thanks again jeff for all the information
make sure that you season them first .
i did just like in your video
I used to find amalgam gold near an old mine. My brother used to use mercury coated copper plates in a recirculating sluice he made. We would crush ore up and run it thru. He used the tater trick.

Thanks and we have heard of that too but not enough time to put it in the video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for answering my questions Jeff.
If you ever come to Australia 🇦🇺 look me up..
Will take you gold prospecting..!!!
Cheers
Regards Tony.👍⛏
If you need good ways free. trumann01@mail.ru
I friggen love this guy he grows on ya and then its love. I wish he come to my family gold mine and help me reopen it. He knows his shit and is fun
Hi Jeff, Great video, and thanks for emphasizing safety!!! I have Mercury that has been stored in a sealed jar for decades. Why store Mercury underwater? Say hi to Silver Spurs Lila, Pops, Nevada Jack, and grumpy old Slim. Take care my busy friend.
another educational and motivational video.
Thanks again jeff.. your my 3rd favorite nut!
Hi Jeff, as I am in Australia I have no idea if you have your own TV show. If you don't then I am horrified that no network has snapped you up. You clearly have the best vid's out there. Top stuff well done Mate hehe, keep it going.
love this show
Excellent episode. Could you please do one on the use of Nitric Acid? Please go a bit deeper into the cleaning and re charging mercury as well. It's a lost art that many don't share. I did get critical information out of this, particularly storing that under water. At one point I stored those amalgamated chunks in my bedroom!
Yep that one is coming out soon plus charging mercury with Table Salt.
Yes, you are only one in this world , man.
We love Jeff and slim
Great video, I wish you would have shown the use of Nitric Acid.
You have tons of knowledge, they keep getting better. Mercury was used big time up in the Alison mine, it's why they say do not drink from the stream but I have and I still am walking, I THINK??? or, is this one big dream. cheers guys
Hi Alan, thanks really appreciate that and we try. I get and it never goes away and in some places it has been sitting at the low spots of rivers and creeks collecting Gold for over 100 years. We know of people who go looking for it just for this reason, could be and we are in your Dream and not real or you are in ours.
Best show on youtube.
Good to see Slim!
A big ol' howdy from the UK, just discovered your videos, they are pure gold ;D
hi Lewis " BIG " Howdy back and hope you like them all.
very cool jeff
Sou super fãn de vc,parabéns pela simpatia,abraço
New drinking game! The word for tonight is "amalgam". Try it! You'll be plastered waaay before the end of the video! Jeff Williams is some of the very best entertainment on CZcams, and that's significant added value for all the mining and prospecting information that you watch for.
Good job.!!
Hope you get rains for the ditch drain pipe gold to build up.
Looked good.
Found you due to casting videos. Found it interesting, but found it entertaining. Subbed.
I love your videos
So much knowledge. You ever thought about publishing a book as well? I just can't get enough.
Yep and we did.
Your best turorial yet.
thanks Larry , really glad you liked it.
ole jeff..lol you beet me to another vid bro lol..was getting ready to do the same thing lol...good one as well...this is what i do to all 50 mesh and below...
thanks and would love to see it my friend and that is about right.
WOW That's cool!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy, just keep it up.
Really like the modified retort.
Thanks Jami
Thanks for the video, A&B are good people, I am a customer. We bought one of the distilling retorts, as you have here.
The modifications you made are exceptional, the cooling of the coil, very smart, and the extension to the firing cup.
The only thing we do different, is we put our black sand through a coffee grinder, to separate from Hematite, and then we cook it.
In doing so, it releases the sulfites.
This is a really good video, and very usful, if you have good black sands.
GREAT SHOW JEFF I GIVE IT 105% !!!!
wow not sure if we can top that but we will try.
I HAVE FAITH YOU WILL GREAT SHOW...
Jeff & Slim great video and nice hit on some of the safety issues with "mercury " . Mercury is such a nasty metal to work with and getting rid of the toxic waste is a pain but I really enjoyed the show and probably will try it one day .. Have you thought about a video using borax to clean the gold ?
Great show and information. What does amalgamate look like in the pan, at the river? Is it still shiney or does it get a patina? I think I have some in my cons...
Hi jeff..
You are is excellent guys.. I want to ask you, What do you make lye for this mixture?
Thanks..
Jeff was wondering were I could get a little smelter like that and what flux do you use thanks for all the info
Superb video as always Jeff! Where did you get your fine retort?
www.abprospecting.com/node/90
Your best video yet! How ever having had college chemistry I could make a couple of minor suggestions..... Keep up the good work, maybe I can catch you on down the road!
Thanks James.....thanks and they are always welcomed.
What's your minor suggestions brother? I'm genuinely curious (not being a smart ass).
if you put your cons in a blue bowl after tumbler the mercury comes back together easily....no more chasing little spots of mercury around a pan...
thanks.
Not shilling here honest, but you can also find Hg at United Nuclear which is reagent grade and cheap if your super paranoid about getting that last bit of Au. Also while good practice to wear gloves. Metalic Hg by itself can't/isn't going to poison you on skin contact. It's when you retort it/heat it up you need to be especially careful since it does have vapors you definitely do not want to inhale.
Jeff how do you do it with the nitric acid do you have a video of that thank you Steve
HI Jeff,
Thanks for one more video and I was actually looking for it.
can you please guide us more on how that dog toy is made and how to get one if I am interested to get.
Getting this toy will really help me to work on mercury in many other ways. Please guide and help.
Thanks
Nitin
Hi Nitin , the " Dog " is a Retort and you can buy them or build them . I will leave a link to where to get them but using Nitric Acid to remove your Mercury from Gold is a lot easier and faster.
www.abprospecting.com/?q=catalog
Thanks Jeff,
one more thing what material you used to seal Retort edges..?
I heard you can crush chrysocolla for gold can you do a video on it????It would be very informative and educational.
In the beginning of this video, you remind me of Miss Nancy and her Magic Mirror
Clever clever man 👍🏼
Good stuff
we found some gold but its super fine
Fun fact if you heat murcury for a rediculous amount of time and pass electricity through it it converts to gold
seems like a lot of work. i have some solid mercury ive kept in a glass vile cause i know it has gold in it. i just dont have the equitment to get the gold :P great vid. maybe ill send it you
yes it is but the payoff can be quite large. let us know.
*****
yeah well my body cant detox heavy metals very well (genetics sucks) so i cant be messing with mercury other wise id do it. so.. i doubt theres very much gold in the mercury i have, it probably wouldn't be worth it. (rough guess 15 to 30 dollars worth maybe) plus if i send it to you slim might take it XD ill think about it. Do you have a public PO box Jeff?
C.mon, let's go! with that gold in my direction!
I'mma fan ^^
Probably why I can't find any gold in the Holston river, back in the day the Olin chemical company was pumping about 100 gallons of mercury per day into it. Well shoot.
If you can find the pockets in the river where the mercury collects, then suck it out and retort it. Should be quite a bit of recoverable gold in it, not to mention saleable mercury.
Hi Jeff.Slim and Nevada Jack.
Have seen videos on using Borax,,to extract fine gold from black sand which seems to be a safer method.
Will that method extract just as much gold..!!
Regards Tony.👍⛏
yes we have and we plan on covering that too and if done right yes.
Amazing Amalgamation!! Jeff is it true that if the black sands has no gold maybe it is still good for Tungsten? And has value.
it is possible but a good fire assay will tell you that.
Hey Jeff and Slim, what a fantastic and informative video. So this Amalgamate you speak about, can it be found in the bottom of your pan? I was sampling in eastern Oregon last year in some slate like material, and found a bunch of "lead like" metal bits in my pan. I have no idea what it is, and some have suggested to me that it could be some sort of Amalgamate. Any thoughts? Keep up your great work as I am saving the brain cells I have left for your vast knowledge. ;)
Thanks glad you liked it. yes and in some rivers too left over from the old timers.....Amalgam s Shiney and lead is very soft. Thanks we will and we have more on the way.
Hi Jeff, what material of construction is the retort made of? S Steel? as well as the cup that holds the amalgam. Thanks
