Jeff I learned a lot from this one video. I had no idea what the process involved. It seems like a lot of tedious work to get such a small reward in the amount of gold you acquire. But I do know gold is very expensive in weight! Thank you for taking the time to show the sequence of events! Outstanding Sir! I would love to go try panning for gold. It seems like fun and rewarding too. Thank you once again!
Good safety built in to this video, thank you. Us old timers used to put the amalgam in the potato, roast the potato and then remove the gold button. Then we would put the potato into a pot of water and mash it thoroughly and the mercury would collect in the bottom of the pot. Re-use it and away you go. Not very clean mercury but still works. The even older timers would hold the mercury in their mouths while they were panning. Spit it into the pan and then put it back in their mouths for the next pan. None of them had any teeth for some reason.
Back when I was in 6th Grade (I am now 67) the science teacher brought out a glass gar with Mercury in it, we each got to hold the Mercury without the jar ( to feel the weight of it). Well, I am here to say, I am still alive. It gets me the way they talk about Mercury these days.
Yep. They did that to us too in Grade School. 1950 or so. Rolled the stuff around in our hands. But now our "gummint" is doing much worse to us and that purposeful! In our water, food and much else. Pharmaceuticals ! JA !
I'm old AF too. Quarters were silver back then and we would dip them in Hg and that would shine them up. The thermostat in the house had a mercury switch.
The Old Timer's used Potato's and Mercury to melt down and refine their Gold. We show you how they did it plus tips on how to use Mercury the proper way and where to sell your Gold after you make Gold button's. If you want to learn about the secrets of Gold Geology then watch this video ruclips.net/video/28ug0oK-UHA/видео.html
Next time I go prospecting I am stopping by McDonalds for an extra large fry. Gonna get so freaking rich....... Just wondering If the sodium chloride will make my gold taste bad. Nothing worse than salty tasting Gold.
Jeff, when my father died due to complications with covid, I thought I was alone. Your videos documenting the experience with your own father told me otherwise. I will always appreciate you.
Chris2790 Most religions talk about each person having a spirit. But even if you’re atheist and a scientist listen to some physicists. A lot of scientists I’ve listened to say they believe we’re in a simulation. Look at what Einstein called spooky magic. Electrons behave one way but once you measure and observe them in the one experiment they literally changed behavior and paths showing particles like electrons are conscious. It’s weird spooky magic. So even lots of scientists that aren’t religious don’t think we die and then our consciousness stops to exist.
@@chris2790 Look up "Near Death Experience's Heaven and Hell"..we live in a day and age with the internet where so many people tell their side of what they saw when they died and were resuscitated or just came back to life, some up to almost an hour after they were pronounced dead. Over and over GOD shows Himself to HIS creation, through HIS creation. look around, this place is not an accident. Its a design. you are loved more then you know. its not about going to church, its about believing Jesus is who HE says HE is and that GOD raised HIM from the dead. you dont have to be good enough then go to GOD (none of us are), just go to HIM, HE will work out the rest. Peace be with you.
Thanks to you and Lila for the hands on demonstration !!! Working with extreme heat and harsh chemicals takes sheer knowledge on what one is doing. The old timers knew there stuff. One had to back then because you could not survive long. Thanks again. 😊😊😊
When dad was a kid he told me that they used to rub mercury onto pennies with their fingers. That was in the late 1920s to early 30s.. Recently when speaking about it again he reminded me that they didn't know it was dangerous. He seemed reasonably healthy and very smart till the day he passed at 98 years old.
That was awesome Jeff! I always heard about the potato trick but had never seen it in action. Out of all of the smelting videos I have watched, this video filled the gaps in the knowledge I was missing. Thank you once again for a highly informational video!
Just when I thought I had platitude with my prospecting you just gave me more to learn thank you I was starting to get bored with prospecting I always find gold everytime I go I guess I'm more into the chase and challenges of finding it and the history and processes of it, thank you again for the video and knowledge you share
My Dad had 5 claims in Placer County. I am to this day amazed. You mentioned potatoes I remember that being mentioned. That brought back memories so thank you
Awesome video Jeff, thank you. I’ll never get to do this myself but it’s great watching someone with awesome knowledge like yourself show us how to do it, just in case 😊
I live in the mountains of NC and do a lot of prospecting in the rivers. About 50% of the gold I find is mercury gold from the old timers back in the 1800's. Enjoyed your video!!!
Greetings Jeff... Gilgold Prospecting San Antonio Tx....where every day is a Gold'n Day.. an old fellow Prospector 42yrs ago showing me that. Wow the memories. Good job Jeff 😊
Outstanding video! I have a couple buckets of tabled black sand cons. That first 3” or so off the M-7 table. I’ve just left them stacked in my shed as I was stuck on the next steps. Thank you 👍
When I was in high school I was the chemistry lab assistant, and the teacher would show the classes mercury and its properties quite often, we actually played with it for a bit, to demonstrate its properties, and then he explained what Mad Hatters Disease was and how it came from long term exposure to mercury fumes...
That retort looks like a miniature version of the one on my family's property. It was very large and was used to cook the mercury out of the cinnabar mined there.
@@Askjeffwilliams please I'm begging you! Collaborate with Cody. Jeff and Jason for the smelting and table TVR, . Jason and A.F.P. ( best cam work) for the exploring I know they are busy but Nobody is harder than Sharron and Mike! Super colab! As Tony Beets would say... Make it happening A.S.P.!
Jeff, I've been watching and learning every chance I get. I'm originally from the black hills of South dakota. I'm now in south central Texas with gold around me 😢. Love your vids!!
I remember using similar amalgamation techniques to process our lode gold. However, the potato thing I've never seen before. Gee whizz, learn something new every day ! BTW, we use to play with Mercury all the time when we were kids. As long as you didn't ingest it, and washed your hands afterwards, it was OK. Yeah, the liquid silver had a bad rap today !
I have used the 12lb Lortone rock tumbler to mill black powder using brass pellets. Jeff you are certainly a master of the art of gold. I have learned sooooo much from your channel.
Excellent video, Jeff. I never miss one. This one had really good info.thanks,see ya next time. Maybe I'll tell you guys about a mine we're reopening in Central Washington.
Precisely why I watch your vids Jeff... If the market pukes, know where the gold is. On the knowledge worth and value scale, I'd say you points are off the charts.
Great video Jeff !!!!! Thank you for the refiner information and the old timer information. I never would of thought a potato could do that. I appreciate all the information that you share with us. Your doing a wonderful job. Thank you
Brilliant video mate and spot on, I've always wanted to try the potato method ever since one of the old timers came up to me while I was panning and told me about it.
I would have like to hear how to dispose of the lye water, potato and the other items use to refine the mercury, maybe another video?? Very much enjoyed this video!
Loads of great info fam. Great job all around. I might try melting down some Au. Never did it. But I got to try 😂. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam. I always have a blast coming by. Gold Squad Out!!!
It never ceases to amaze me how much mercury I find at our local dump. Idiots find it while cleaning out some dead miner's house, assume its dangerous, and throw it away! I take it home, retort it, and add it to the collection. I've got about half pint of the stuff and didn't pay for a drop of it! And by the way, Jeff, you can boil the mercury right out of the collection chamber on the retort. I do it all the time so I don't have to make amalgam out of it. Its also very helpful to make a little heat shield from an old bean can to fit over the retort. It helps keep the heat in so it can boil easier.
Hi Jeff, Love your work. Here is why the old timers used wire around a potato. First, a heated wire coil can create a mini magnetic field which the gold as a super conductor wants to stay in. Next, spike the potato with iron nails to remove iron sulfides from your ore and flux. Thanks to David Hudson's patents for the info.
Do you think you could do a video that shows close up and discusses the silvery and yellowish silver heavies in the pan when dealing with hard rock ore and how to separate it out from the gold and how to tell what is gold and what is that other heavy stuff ?
I would have used a BIGGER KNIFE but that's just me lol. This was a KILLER video full of amazing information and helpful NUGGETS. Awesome as always... thnx JEFF
How's it going Jeff? I been sick for a few years and haven't watched anything gold related because I thought I was done. I am not and I am glad to see your still making videos and teaching others new things and ideals. 😊
I grew up in Utah and I have heard stories of miners using potatoes to mine for gold all my life. I always wanted to see it demonstrated. Now I can really picture those old timers smelting gold buttons out of the ore in the mountains with their potatoes and campfires.
Great video, Jeff. Thankyou. Really appreciate your vast mining and geology knowledge. I finally bought and used a similar retort like yours, but an unvented model. Should have used 2 torches!! Lol. I've read much about the potato amalgamation. Great to watch both first hand. I save all of my merc. in a plastic bottle with water marked. In case it is ever dropped. Been watching a long time. Thankyou.
Thanks glad you spoke the reality/truth re mercury! I’ve played with several K’s of Hg since my teenage years. Even been tested for absorption…negative ! And it’s because like you the mercury MUST be kept clean…Hg vapour and compounds ARE dangerous. Enjoyable and informative video thanks

I like Cody's Lab too. It's a great channel. I highly recommend it, especially if you like science.
Not many people now in days can be wise as the old timers was ...
Never go full potato unless there's shiny in them thar hills!
Jeff, you should do a entire video on sulfide ore.. what to look for, where to look for it and how to recover it
great idea
Jeff, when my father died due to complications with covid, I thought I was alone. Your videos documenting the experience with your own father told me otherwise. I will always appreciate you.

Amazing info. Never thought that it was this much involved and Process to refine gold ...Thanks for sharing .
So interesting to see the evolution of Jeff Williams down through the years in the various clips.
When dad was a kid he told me that they used to rub mercury onto pennies with their fingers. That was in the late 1920s to early 30s.. Recently when speaking about it again he reminded me that they didn't know it was dangerous. He seemed reasonably healthy and very smart till the day he passed at 98 years old.
mercury is very safe to handle as long as you don't have open wounds....but the fumes are what get you
We did it in the 1960s too. Really works well on the real silver dimes and quarters!
My dad work with PCBs in electric transformers. Dropped dead at 87. He was Vaxed - just saying!
Stoked Cody is getting a shout out! I still remember when he tried to flush a toilet that was full of mercury.
That was awesome Jeff!
I always heard about the potato trick but had never seen it in action. Out of all of the smelting videos I have watched, this video filled the gaps in the knowledge I was missing. Thank you once again for a highly informational video!

Fantastic video Jeff! Thanks man, we really appreciate your informative videos 😊👍
My pleasure!
Its amazing how we figured this stuff out in our spair time Jeff, aint nothing like gold and baked potatoes 😂
Just when I thought I had platitude with my prospecting you just gave me more to learn thank you I was starting to get bored with prospecting I always find gold everytime I go I guess I'm more into the chase and challenges of finding it and the history and processes of it, thank you again for the video and knowledge you share
exactly .....its always about the hunt .....not having it ....... you betcha
Jeff the knowledge you share is incredible thank you for covering everything in depth
My pleasure!
Been watching Cody for years. When you stated talking about mercury and it's safety I immediately thought of him!! Excellent video Jeff!! As usual!
