that was some great info Jason ...... will have to use the Sulfuric acid for specimen clean up next time we get more Gold from our mine....... you are right ....every ore is different and not one way will work for them all.....would love to see a video of you parting the silver out of the buttons. Thanks for coming out to our mine and making it one for the books,. See ya soon and take care.
Check out SREETIPS on RUclips for info on chemical gold refining. Very useful information 👌
@chaz2785 it would be very cool to see sreetips finish those buttons off.
@signsofthetimes2971 yup sure would!
@chaz2785 love sreetips
I know of one dude who uses a continuity detector to see if the gold veins are connected to each other in the rock . If they are, he sandblasts and acid treats to get the specimen on matrix.
This is exactly what I appreciate your work Jason…. It’s real learning and evaluation in process. Thank you for the honesty of the learning process.
There's an old saying that goes "a wise man learns from other's mistakes, a fool learns from their own. So let me be your fool."
jason, you absolutely right about trial and error in regards to learning the craft, and teaching the craft as well, even though i have 13 years experience under my belt, i'm still learning and watch your videos to learn even more, your work is appreciated, regards
When he's not repeating the Slave Book rubbish and observes things... Then records what he finds. He mainly just repeats the crap he learned. Nothing more. Copy and repeating aren't improving anything. Just making you all blind and stupid to stuff you ignore.
It's good to see you do all these experiments, as lots of people don't have the money or resources to get everything to do them.
Thanks to you and all involved!
The sulfuric is what everyone I talk too uses..
A piece of cardboard will prevent the crucible sticking to the firebrick. Learned that one on Bigstacked's channel. :-)
It has been great to follow your work with Jeff's Ore. As an old retired engineer, it never gets old to see what the slag will look like on the different ores and different flux recipes.
What a great opportunity that was for both of you . Thank you for taking us along on the original journey , that brought you to this end result , I love watching you do your thing . Especially for the convection cells that always trap my eyes into watching the formations . Great job Jason , see you soon . Cheers
Thanks for sharing your experiments Jason! I'm really enjoying learning about smelting and hard rock mining, both things I've never done! Keep up the good work!
I leave all my gold uncleared gives it alot more character
for the vinegar you should add some Epsom salt
Awesome video, thank you for sharing
Gave you a like because you are not afraid to fail. Love all your videos! Keep it up!
Thanks for doing these experiments it's good to watch and guess what will happen and then see what does happen.
You really should spray some rigidizer on that exposed Kaowool. Those fibers get torn and blown around your shop when you fire your crucible, and can do some severe damage to your lungs.
Jason, you and Sreetips are very informative! I think a collab series with you and him using both of your methods would be beneficial for sure!
I love the way you said that do experiments.
I do it all the time with my copper smelting
Great videos! It was great meeting you Jason! I’m sure we all look forward to getting back down there! Was definitely an ausome time!
Really cool process. I love that you share the mistakes and what you learn. Looks like great fun!
Been looking forward to this
Jason very detailed and informative video. You and Jeff are the masters of gold mining and smelting. AWESOME!
Your experiments are worthy of the effort. I learn so much from your trials and errors. Keep them coming. We really get excited when we receive a notification of a new video.
I still can't get over how good of a sample those are. Huge specimens! Even for a hard rock mine, for today's day those are some beautiful specimens. Great stuff!
Great experience thanks J.
Nice work Jason.
I’m getting ready for some testing using pay dirt (high grade sample)
I want to do exactly what you did to see if I recover additional gold by smelting the entire sample vs sluice running and panning.
Thanks much sir!
✌️PT
Always interesting, wish I knew more about the chemistry end of what you do. I'm constantly researching something and just dont have enough megabytes left to fit much more in my cranium right now. But I'll get there, before I need to do my own smelting. Thanks Jason
Nice job Jason
This was a very fun video
Thanks Jason !
Glad i ran into this. Also cool you do content with Jeff as well. Ty for the content always enjoy them
Nice job sir. Thank you.
That was fun to watch! Thank you
Thanks for the update.. I was actually waiting for it .. Much appreciated 👍😎
Love watching that awesome lava pattern in your pyramid mould
Been a killer series. Very intriguing
loved the mini series on Jeff's ore
So awesome so informative and just badass! Loved seeing y’all work together
Was looking forward to this. Thanks Jason 🤝🍻👍
Awesome video guys. Really enjoyed every second of it.
Great video!
Good job on the close up shots perfect detail 👌
I love your investigatory methods, and lessons learned, very insightful. See, that right there is an issue I now know how to resolve, or begin to resolve. Loved the specimen cleanup with all the chemical varieties, learned all kinds of stuff. Keep up the good work, loved the cooperative work with Jeff and all, but love your channel all on its own as well.
Keep it up!
Awesome info Jason! Great experiments I love watching even if it "fails" Keep on keeping on.
Loving the science and evaluative math involved here. Of you aren’t experimenting we aren’t learning. Great job
Godd stuff you gave me the courage to finally break in to my rocks I've had in my collection for years and get a furnace and start the process
I love the experimenting and problem solving. And the explanation for each process. I understand the learning and your always open to suggestions. Love watching especially after a long day at work.
Nice experiments. I hope your new knowledge servers you well.
Watching you an your rocks brought back memories !!!
I'm looking forward to seeing the yield from this 😊, great video as always
The muriatic acid might need to be neutralized right away to prevent the color change.
Get more BAGS OF PRODUCT and keep learning!!!
Jason do you know Sreetips? Look him up on RUclips. I'd love to see a collaboration of you're work with his work. It would be a win win as you will get some of his subscribers a he would get some of yours. Not to mention the good videos of your use of heat and his use of chemicals. Y'all get in touch and see what kind of videos you can two can come up with. I'd pay to watch those videos.
Live these videos, really neat to see the processes.
Jason thank you for the education! ❤❤❤
Jason, thanks for sharing your investigations. I have to say I really enjoy watching the slag freeze in the cone mold. I suggest a super slo mo of that in the future as a short. Keep the videos coming. They are some of my favorites.
Great stuff
Nice Jason. I enjoy the videos and experiments.
I needed this exact video! Thank you! Love this channel. :)
Been prepping to hit some of my own ore and trying to figure out what chemical is cheapest and easiest.
I like your attitude. Honest and truthful.
I'm more intrested in understanding how things are done myself.
Just a great segment 👍🏾❤️
Thank you Jason for going into the process of how to recover gold from rock through Two separate pathways.
You could dissolve some of the cornflaked lead in muriatic to see how much lead it takes away.
Love all your video's and the one with Jeff. I've learned so much from you. Keep 'em coming! 👍
Thanks for the hard work and information sharing 🖖👏👏👏🥂
Jason: I really find your videos quite interesting and educational. Thank You for making them.
Very Informative to acquire for beginner thank you I'm learning so much the videos from Jeff ,Dan Chris and yourself thank all
Wow what a great result I learnt heaps from you and Jeff Williams who I’ve been watching for a few years now
You are sincere in teaching us, and you are a wonderful person and deserve to be rewarded in this world and the hereafter
I like how you share both your success and your mistakes on video. I have a larger, DIY channel where I often show my mistakes or ask questions and get help from my viewers. We can all learn together this way.
What a video it was wonderful thanks Jason
Chris from VoGus prospecting boils specimens in caustic soda and water neutralises the caustic soda in tartaric acid, although this more dissolves the rock rather than cleans them up for display, but the gold does keep its form.
Please make smelting video on copper sulfide ores
Great stuff thank you.
Awesome to such high percentage yield.
What happens to all the metals you are trying to get rid of? Like all that lead?
Thank for information stone gold,, nice job
Excellent video great content thank you for sharing five stars
I use Iron out for my quartz pieces, works very well
Thanks for this video very helpful and educative God bless you 🙏👏👍
Good Vid! Really interesting...
Your Experiments Help You to Know what works better, as well as what doesn’t. Through Your Experiments Sharing saves Viewers a lot of Money and Time. “ Thank You “
Good job a great video and a nice learning experience keep up the good work.
You should smelt the cons from the shaker table for Jeff's ore
Love watching these, thanks!
interesting process...
Youre so good at this. I always watch your vids. thanks!
enjoyed watching your video great work nice to see you try different methods of bring out the best specsmains of gold. I glad to see your explanation and experience and excitement working with gold ore.🤗
Great Presentation of very practical and scientific info series..Useful..Mo' Shiny from Slims' Map !!!
Cheers !
I’m thinking the Clorox or Peroxide

Always enjoy your experiments.
Duuude! I love the Pb/kno3 method. Such a time saver. Cupelling takes forever.
Watching, the instant the notification arrived.
Is there a smelting guide book available? I would think this stuff has been done before….
Definitely instant like on this one
awesome job .dude..
Great work mate.
Dang I'd love to pan the dirt around your disk grinder.
You quiet right joson I learn very much
Jason. not many people would show a failed experiment so i commend your honesty and integrity. Everybody makes mistakes. Anyway, you fixed them and pressed on. Great job and great video
Your great love your experiments. Thanks
