    Awesome that you have a friend like Jason, willing to help educate and inform!
    Also great that you two have so much in common, and the enthusiasm to learn anything new is contagious with both of you!
    I love watching both of you together! Where one is not sure, the other has some insight, and vice-versa! When neither has a clue, it heads first into finding an answer!!!
    Awesome video collaboration!

    Jason's little sleight-of-hand when he pretended to almost lose the gold. Of course he had it between the fingers of one hand all the time, while he acted like he had it in his other hand and then caught it. You guys are great.

    Thanks guys
    Stay Safe, Be Well
    Enjoy Life

  • @johnizitchiforalongtime
    @johnizitchiforalongtime Год назад +6

    Thanks to the both of you. It is good to know that not all mines are productive, all ore taken is unique to each specimen with sulfides. Usually, the deeper the vein yields are higher in concentrates because of thermal intrusions. What a learning experience!

    Ive never been impressed with all these exalted finds.
    I sit around, doing my thing, i assess what spare cash i can use to increase my gold weight, then the pure finished product finds its way through my letter box.
    Very little energy is required, no noise, and no biting insects.

    • @harryzero1566

    I enjoyed watching you two working together I have learned so much thank you. Question if you Don't mind ? First I'm 67 years old and retired. I'm visiting my wife's people here in Washington State. I will be here until winter and it get cold. I'm wanting to go panning for gold here in the Washington State Area. I have gotten a permit to check out in all state parks in Washington. Can you advise me on what panning dishes or filters that I would need ? I have been watching your video's for sometime now.
    I will be in this area for 3 months or so. Just don't want to spend 3 months and find nothing. Its like a little beats nothing lol.
    I will be checking out Jason's video's as well thanks for letting me enjoy your video's . Jeff Steele

    29:36 these are amazing patterns. Idk if you've ever seen a close up picture of the sun, but these look identical (except the size on the sun is more like the size of France). They are convection cells when you have a really specific set of circumstances with a hot liquid.

    Watching this I'm having flashback to my mineral processing classes. I'm really curious if you have any chemical analysis on the sulfide mineralogy? Any SEM/EDX work? Matte!! Careful with the matte slag, sometimes you might try a little lime to get a little more matte-slag miscibility. your crucible composition could affect your acid-basic balance in the slag.

    I just looked at Jason's Channel and he was crushing up Jade and other big rocks and so, I came over to this one to see if we could get some gold out of the rocks. My guess is you're going to have to go deeper into the ground to get the type of gold that came out back in the 1800s.

    We owned an old mill property in Pa and they used to have a giant smelt going in the late 1800s and what they used to do as just keep throwing the rock into the smelt and this Babbitt material would overflow and in the end they would have all the gold and precious metals in the bottom of the smelt is what the old lady told us when I was just a kid … the more I watch the less I believe that lol but we would find all this Babbitt material that looked just like placer nuggets but they were mostly led and aluminum etc . The rock has 19% gold when my old man sent it out to be tested .
