    If you wore an orange construction vest and a hat, combined with the cones which are already there, most would assume you were on the job. LOL

    Dude, way back when I remember a tv show or a RUclips vid of some guy actually making a living at this in New York. Same idea just did it in front of jewelry stores. Ok maybe not “made a living” but found cool valuables. Tell them your work for the purple guys in Denver! Or put a purple sweater on and they would for sure leave you be.

    Hi Mate..
    Next time run a magnet around the outside of your pan..
    At least if the metal is attracted to the magnet..
    That will give you some sort of indication of what it might be.!
    Thanks for sharing your adventure..!!
    Cheers TONY.👍🍺⛏🇦🇺

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  7 лет назад +4

      Hey Famo59, thanks for taking the time to comment. I have a certain way of doing the panning and classifying, all the way down to gold. I like to classify down to -30 and then dry it out (usually) then take the magnetics out while dry. After that, I just pan down the easy stuff! Thanks for watching! atb -KG

    yellow when stesting silver is an indication that it is silver but not much, plated would turn green and higher purity turns red. the less purity of silver the more yellow it becomes. also those people probably thought you are working cleaning the side walks lol.

    11:53 yeah those do look like gold. You need a USB microscope camera - search Amazon for "USB microscope", they're like $20 and I use mine all the time for checking out tiny Gold flakes.
    That ball is probably a stainless steel ball bearing. A lot of stainless alloys are only slightly magnetic.

    Great video, that portable gas vac works a treat. Some of that looked like gold to me too.
    You can also test for silver with bleach. Bleach will tarnish silver pretty much instantly, a tiny amount dripped or brushed on is all you need. Safer stuff and it's nice and cheap too.

    • @Klesh

  • @jeffdevine6387
    @jeffdevine6387 6 лет назад

    just fyi, most gold found is combined with silver. If there is enough silver, the substance is known as electrum. You may have gold there, but it may have a lot of silver in it. Actually more common than most know. Many people throw it away thinking it is not gold. Jut some food for thought :)

  • @chrissmith4713
    @chrissmith4713 7 лет назад +2

    Nothing looks more silly than a prospector....until We find a piece of shiny anyway😁. Maybe next time grab a reflective safety vest and a hard hat and you'll look less conspicuous. I'm going back now to watch the vacuum video.

    • @Klesh

      Yea I know, it's just weird going out there feels like evryone's watching. Good idea with the vest, I almost did but thought it would attract even more attention! Thaks for watching and enjoy the vacuum movie! atb -KG

    Shane, One of the last vids of yours on the river panning gold, I saw your classifying basket from Arborfab dot com, so my husband went to the website and ordered me one (With Your Code .... Thank You) and guess what, I got it in only Two Days!. They Are Fast! The handle on mine is a shorter length and in a stationary position. I'm thinkin' I will have better control because of the improvement of the handle. I Love it! Since I'm in California, I can get most mining items locally, but I knew this would be a good classifier, because of your brutal demo. Lol ! Thanks for the demo, Shane. : ) Let's hear it for Arborfab !

    Hahah, now this was COOL... Brave, original haha, great idea man! I'm sure you've seen the guy in NYC do this to the Gold district he found lots of gold and gems! It would not surprise me that was silver shot, tons of buckets of silver shot go in and out of there. That's what they use to make the coins. Keep @ it and HH !

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  7 лет назад

      Yeah i thought it was silver shot too, just like you said. They bring it in like that, I was sure at least some fell off the truck! Guess not though, still don't know exactly what it was. Anyway Thanks for watching! atb -KG

    • @MUDSWAT

      I can tell from the patina its steel. Likely a ball bearing like you said.

  • @ZomBeeNature
    @ZomBeeNature 7 лет назад

    That is what most people (who cannot stand the thought of trying anything new) would think was a pretty goofy idea, I'm glad you tried it!!! I do not know anything about collecting gold or silver except what I have seen online (Cody's Lab). I have never done it since I don't live anywhere people find gold. Since there was so much organic stuff for things to stick to, could you initially heat up what you collect to burn off the organics and leave behind any metal?

    from the mint years ago. yes he got quite a bit of silver before they stopped
    the dust that escaped. It is in the early history. Can't prove it just now but check it out
    Also there is a guy that does side walk prospecting in NEW YORK CITY.

  • @maverick50616
    @maverick50616 7 лет назад

    of course there''s gold in the sidewalk cracks in Colorado, the city spreads sand on the streets in the winter and there's likely some traces of gold on that sand on the trucks so pf course it would get trapped in the cracks.

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  6 лет назад

      Yea that's most likely where the gold came from. I panned out some home depot sand and found gold too LOL

    Shane, That was different. I was expecting you to get a few specs of gold, because they used bags of sand to make cement and we know there is usually anywhere from a few specs to possibly in the grams. You just never know. Right? Intriguing little silverish ball. You can pick up ball bearings with a magnet, so .... hmm? Let us know if you find out. OkeeDokee.? : )

    @btrim1974 6 лет назад

    You should try the cracks next to the streets or if possible cracks in the streets themselves. Cars catalytic converters break down over time the platinum and paladium break loose and shoot right out of the tailpipes of cars. Also if possible could you do a video on extracting the precious metals from catalytic converters that would be awesome.
    Thanks man awesome videos you do

      KleshGuitars I tried to recover the precious metals from a catalytic converter but used peroxide and muriatic acid and did something wrong and my project failed. However I have tried the electronic / computer gold and forgot about it now I have tons of green powder and such. Would you be interested in recovering the gold from the forgotten computer scrap gold and silver? It was a lot of computer chips and etc. From old computers (2 truck loads of scrap) my email is tricountycleaning3@yahoo.com
      Whatever you recover from it is yours to keep or you could do a giveaway. You can also let me know hpw to ship it in the email if you decide to or not. Either way If possible just email me saying yay or nay. Otherwise I'll just dispose it properly. Thanks gor all the videos and will be a paterion member soon,

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  6 лет назад +1

      Are you saying you have 2 truckloads of scrap computer parts? That is a huge amount that I wouldn't be able to process with my equipment. It would also cost a fortune to have it shipped. If I'm misunderstanding let me know, but if I had the equipment I'd be happy to give it a shot.

    • @btrim1974
      @btrim1974 6 лет назад

      KleshGuitars lol no it's all processed down into dried out coffee filters And jars of dried up green powder etc. I for got about and is in my garage cupboards. If you email me I can send you pictures of it all. It will all fit in a medium size plastic coffee can.
      It was a lot of work (around 3 months) processing the chips and stuff.

      Ya maybe, but I think the catalytic converter residue is pretty microscopic. If you go to the RUclips channel CodysLab, search for recovering platinum from the road (or something like that), he explains the whole thing very scientifically. Its a great channel I recommend it if you haven't already heard of him. THanks for watching I appreciate the support! atb -KG

    Maybe the lil flecks are escaped bits from exhaust catalytic converters they are full of platinum or something

    It's most likely just by deduction catalytic converters have platinum in them it is why there expensive some of the metal may be platinum

    Maybe platinum from a catalytic converter for the shiny flakes.

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  7 лет назад +1

      Ya maybe, but I think the catalytic converter residue is pretty microscopic. If you go to the RUclips channel CodysLab, search for recovering platinum from the road (or something like that), he explains the whole thing very scientifically. Its a great channel I recommend it if you haven't already heard of him. THanks for watching I appreciate the support! atb -KG

    What are the chances of the metal flakes being platinum from catalytic converters or similar?

    • @Klesh
      @Klesh  5 лет назад +1

      Zero to none. The platinum and palladium that comes out is so tiny it takes many cubic yards of "rod dirt" processing to get even a small bead of platinum.

    catalytic converter reminisce to some extent. some city's have street sweepers dump at a company who will produce platinum from it. the company's doing this are public as I know. nice job. Have I seen you at the VA hospital? been there?

      YES CodysLab is an excellent channel. I do remember him sweeping up on I-80 a year or two ago and getting some platinum out of it. I do plan to do something similar, just with less science equipment (for now). Thanks for watching!! atb -KG
