I am a goldsmith and familiar with how gold reacts. I was going to suggest that if you heated those rocks up with obvious large amounts of gold in them (cost effective) and then quench them in cold water (thermal reaction) , they should separate.
Sir I want any materials which contain gold silver pd pt os ru ir rh etc Materials like ore nuggets residue tailing slage sand pyrite etc I am precious metal extraction refining and purification If any material please send me sample WhatsApp +916396840076 India Thanks
Caustic soda/ drain cleaner will eat the rocks leave clean gold . Couple days at room temperature . That's an expensive looking piece of gold to melt lost 4/5 of the value of the specimen .😢
Hi Dave, I know some of the clowns want to make fun of being sloppy and this and that, but I appreciate you just showing your gut feeling and giving us an example of how to do it without having millions of dollars with a fancy home, etc. What I really appreciate is how you showed gold in Quartz. It gave me a good understanding of some cave videos I watched today where they went in and extracted the whole Quartz vein. Aloha, Paul
Neighbour's cat is specially trained to roll around the feet of amateur gold smelters. When it goes home they brush it's coat thoroughly and pan the residue.
Some suggestions... There is melting and there is smelting, melting is open air lid off, and smelting is a chemical process that needs to take place in a low or no oxygen environment, so would have the lid closed or nearly closed depending on the type of kiln. Your first attempt was melting, but it was helpful as a first step, but only up to 900 degrees. This would be considered roasting, and it is to remove extra Sulphur as well as to release chemically trapped gold or gold-sulphide. If one is simply melting gold jeweler than they could get away with just a one-step melting and adding just borax, then your gold would be shinier and a bit purer. It is suggested that you line the crucible with the borax and add some more to what you are melting; it is melting so you would not cover it. If one had black sands concentrates which will have a lot of heavy metals such as lead and possible metals ending in -ium, and of course iron and magnetite, and possibly lighter metals like copper and silver. You do not want to just melt black sands concentrates-(BSC), although crushed rock ore with mostly just rock and gold, even if it also has iron, then one might be able to get away with melting and just using borax, but with BSC one wouldn't want to simply melt it because then all the melted metals could mix together and make some impossible amalgam. One doesn't have to worry about a gold/iron amalgam though because gold melts at just under 2000-degree Fahrenheit although you want to heat it to 2100. While the iron has a melting point like around 3600 or 3800. So, the iron doesn't melt and therefore couldn't form a gold amalgam. That is the exact purpose of the black sands flux, it prevents the non-gold melted metal particles from sticking to other metals either of the same type or different. Gold and the other noble metals like the silver and copper are unaffected and those melted particles with start to glob together; it all needs to be done in an oxygen-less environment. Backing up, I start by roasting my concentrates at 900 degrees F for 45 minutes to roast off Sulphur, lead melts at 900 and some of it may vaporize off, as well as any possible mercury. I do that in a crucible with the lid open. I may roast the material with just some borax, or I may prep it fully for smelting so that after 45 minutes at 900, I can just turn it right up to 2100. The way to prep for smelting is to coat the crucible with borax thickly. The mix the concentrates with the flux so that no amalgams start to form before you add it. Thinner also must be added. Thinner makes the molten metal pour like water which is essential for the gold to "fall out" or drop to the bottom of the mold when poured from the crucible. If a flat mold then a bar will form, in a round bottomed mold then a bead will form. Flat mold for gold rich concentrates and bead for small concentrates or low gold content concentrates. Mix them all together in the crucible and put a lid on it. If it is a flame-based kiln, then leave the lib open a crack, the flames will burn up any oxygen, and if it is electric then close the lid completely. Once it hits 2100 degrees then let it sit for 15 minutes before pouring. After pouring just bust the slag off, it should shatter like glass or obsidian due to containing a large amount of silica. If one were then to crush the slag, and re-heat it with a bit more flux, and re-poured it into the mold, when the slag was broken they would find a silver bar or bead, and if they repeated the process yet again, they would find a copper bar or bead. The last two steps are not suggested except as proof of concept, because both silver and copper have such low values and flux is expensive. The flux is worth more than silver.
There are specimine collectors who are into nuggets, especially rare and unusual pieces like wire gold, or a nugget in the shape of an animal. Traditionally, nuggets and pickers are turned into ingots, bars and coins, which destroys their natural beauty and makes them somewhat rarer.
Thanks Dave. That was the very first time I have seen gold in rock being crushed, panned and finally a gold bar. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Sacrilege? No, not at all! You're in the business of making gold into cash, making a living from it. If the market don't want quartz, sell them gold. Well done Mate. And thanks once more. Regards Hagrid
Great job! Thanks for speeding up the video where needed, I hate when people show 10 minutes of dumping dirt in their sluice. Most of the negative comments are from people who have never held a piece of gold like that one. I get the same remarks from people who want me to miss $100 and hour work to mess with scrap metal I give away instead of processing.
Some acid and time would have yielded specimens worth more. After watching this I think that panning the dirt under your equipment would be well worth it.
"A lot of people are going to be mad at me" "People are going to yell at me and say this is sacrilege" "Forgive me for using the tools I have at hand..." You haven't recieved a lot of positive criticism or compliments have you? Honestly man, I hope you can shut out the negative shit and don't worry about the millions of other things other people would do. Be happy for you. Be happy you're successful and own a fucking gold mine! That's fucking awesome! Don't worry about pleasing people or letting them down, give yourself credit that you can accomplish stuff that people want to watch on RUclips. Give yourself credit for who and what you are, don't try to seek credit from anyone else. I didn't know shit about crystalline gold, and I'm gonna watch videos on that now. Thanks for sharing. Good luck.
There's more to life then money and gold. I think it's great that you shared this vid. The wilderness, fresh air and a visit from the neighbors cat while doing your own thing is perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a lot of it flew out onto the ground. If you are going to get the gold out of those rocks you need every last scrap. Not letting them fly up in the air
There is a lot of negative comments for no reason! This man is very ingenuitive and resourceful ! A true gold refining bootlegger that gets better results than most of y'all.
That was amazing! Don't listen to these fools, seeing you handle thousands of dollars worth of material with as much regard as Homer Simpson would is literally priceless. Keep on trucking!
Not a pro miner. I work around industrious machines daily. And if youre trying to save materials embedded in other materials, its common sense to be more conscious about how much is wasted away.
@@aaronweise360 I can tell you by experience that when doing all aspects of mining and refining by yourself things don't always go perfectly. He can easily recover the values left behind.
Sprinkle borax onto the mould and glaze it off with a torch and your graphite will last longer and the bars will come out mostly clean on the bottom too. Thank you for the time you put into this video! Heavy Pans!
That was incredible! Here I am in southern Illinois panning for flour gold and fly poop gold and there you are playing with pounds lol. Your a lucky man props to you and who cares what all the critics say you the one who was holding a $10,000 bar in your hands. 💯👍🏻
That was a beautiful specimen. I see why you held on to it so long, but, if you couldn't get your price for it, that's a good alternative. Thanks for sharing.
what a total waist of time and gold some people pan for weeks for the amount you just wasted in your pour alone! & trying to selling a rock for $22,000 that you just bungeled into less then $7,000......lol THANK YOU, BEST COMEDY SHOW I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!
That was really cool and amazing Dave... Nice work ! Hey gold bar , take it any day of the week . Not like it's your last , am sure your doing ok. Lol Joe Subscribed .
don't mind the pro miners.. you sure got some balls to crush something that beautifull. great work! shouldve had a cloth over the smashing prosess but very jealous of that opertunity musted been alot of fun
Or you could have roasted the whole rock in a furnace, captured the drippings, and shocked the remaining rock in cold water so it could shatter. Roast the fragments again to capture more drippings and crush the remnants to pan out the rest.
If you want to get the largest cleanup possible from ore like that, I'll let you in on a secret: break it into specimens and sell them all on ebay. Then take that money and buy bullion.
Gold in it's natural state is usually full of lead, mercury, tin, silver, copper, etc. so you melting that bar as is, that's what's in there. You should refine it in chemicals, then add a chemical to drop the lead, mercury, then precipitate it from liquid back to powder and you're at 999 without any lead, tin, mercury, copper or silver. Never add a mountain of borax like that, it's counter productive a nice pinch or small dash of it should do it's job.
hi Dave i have a question , i have a native American double grooved Axe head that has several veins of Quartz in it and in the Quartz there is several small nuggets that are visible . i took it to an artifact show and had it appraised and the person could not tell me if the Gold aspect would make it more valueable since he has never saw an artifact with Gold in it . being as it has Gold in it would it be classified as a specimen ? and how would you go about determening how much more it would be worth ?
Buddy you won't see me with 8 ounces of gold because I made 65 ounces as my share over the summer by first ore finding in a dry creekbed(used PROPER rock crushing/screen filter machinery so my gold didn't get inhaled into my lungs.) and then cleaning part of the creek out. Take your shit talk somewhere for the poor people because some of us KNOW what we're doing and what this guy did deserved a punch in the face for stupidity.
infantligo ahaha we mine gold in the congo.. we just turned down a 100 ounce a day mine in the yukon because we do 100 times better in the congo.. waawaawaa i want my mommy ahaha doc johnny sicily and congo its still his gold and he can do it his own way and im glad to watch his techniques
we just turned down silver creek mines on the indian river that produces 8000 ounces a summer.. no thanks.. they rape the valleys up there..no where in the first world would that be allowed
230g of 89% is 204g pure. At $41 per gram, he has $8,400 in gold. He was just unrealistic with his appraisal of $22K. Might have been able to get $10K and save the piece if he had the patience. But it wasn't the most gorgeous thing either.
Good job man I just ran across you the first time today I just recently got interested in mining I live in southern Indiana I don't think we have those kind of rocks here but I was impressed and I'm going to subscribe right now thank you
Why are you pandering to the negative area of your comment section? Focus on the positives and instead of addressing the troll comments and play some upbeat music during the fast forward portions and welcome us back when you start to see gold next time. I really enjoyed the video! One of the coolest albeit one of the most difficult ways to extract gold, that I have seen on RUclips... All I ever see recommended usually it is the boring "Gold Bucket" videos. I enjoyed seeing something different, it's original, refreshing new content. You are good just keep sharing this stuff but have someone hold the camera for you. So you don't get burned or hurt doing something that is hard with two hands but you are insane for doing it with JUST ONE!
It's your specimens and how you do it is ur business. I would have sent all of it to a refiner and have them refine it to a quality grade bar of 99+% You likely lost a half ounce the way you did it.
The other day i was watching this kid melt down aluminum cans in his homemade smelter kiln and man he has it done right he pours his own bars not ingots but bars weighed and stamped saving them for a rainey day if the price of aluminum goes up his bedroom looks like a miniature fort knox for aluminum bars all stacked neatly. It got me to thinking that he may be onto something i am incline to make a go of his idea as well with aluminum readily availible in all forms as it is.
Man listen to all the haters. They are just mad cause you waist more gold than they will ever find. He'll if I had a half a pound of gold I wouldn't worry bout it either.
Caleb - as someone with no experience mining or smelting gold, I also had to almost look away because it appeared that he was losing a lot of material that could be potentially hundreds of dollars, and also when he was crunching it in the container and it was flying out everywhere. Why would he do it like that? Especially knowing its worth?
I have no idea what that name means but anything ending in 666 isn't good....Ur right... $22K???!!! For $2k (maybe) of gold? And what's so sacrilegious about getting the gold you worked to collect?
@@treynathaniel4075 shoot man. That ain't anywhere near 24k gold. That's just refined ore and it's still full of every other metal that was in the ore. He's lucky if it's even 10k gold at the point the video ends.
Its not sac-religous my friend. This is the best way to seperate gold from the host rock. Nice video. It is heartbreaking though that you found that huge specimen and no one would buy it. Good luck my friend
I watched this video months ago and it inspired me to make a grinder/crusher but I didn't know back then this is Dave from GB lol just subbed, and I got to tell you I have been buying ore for the last couple weeks and None of it I can even see one speck under magnification so I seriously do not think I will be panning any gold after crushing 250 lbs hopefully a little.
WOW SO COOL! I HOPE TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS ONE DAY TO PUT ON MY TABLE lol! Thanks for sharing this! too bad the rock had to be crushed though your right i was not happy to see it get pulverized at all lol, but i enjoyed this still!
any way you put it...it went from a rock to a gold bar.. thats bad ass...stop all those hating comments..we all wish we could do this and ended up with a gold bar...nice...great video..

22000 for that piece of gold as a little overpriced if there was only 7 ounces in it

Apologies from committing "sacrilege".. That guy is a fool.
Yes, I learned a whole lot from your video! Thanks for sharing! Newbie here!!!!
Looks like all the jealous people wanna criticize. I learned a lot from this vid.
Thanks David.
I would suggest that you just keep sucking on that bong.
What did you learn? How to lose money?!
That's some rich ore. Heck, I feel super lucky to just find a flake can be picked without tweezers.
It left a lot of impurities in that smelt.
Why are you pandering to the negative area of your comment section? Focus on the positives and instead of addressing the troll comments and play some upbeat music during the fast forward portions and welcome us back when you start to see gold next time. I really enjoyed the video! One of the coolest albeit one of the most difficult ways to extract gold, that I have seen on RUclips... All I ever see recommended usually it is the boring "Gold Bucket" videos. I enjoyed seeing something different, it's original, refreshing new content. You are good just keep sharing this stuff but have someone hold the camera for you. So you don't get burned or hurt doing something that is hard with two hands but you are insane for doing it with JUST ONE!
Omg. Use a torche. There was alot left behind. Ontop of what you spilled.
Thanks for sharing with us, Billy in Canada
It's your specimens and how you do it is ur business.
I would have sent all of it to a refiner and have them refine it to a quality grade bar of 99+%
You likely lost a half ounce the way you did it.
i have gold stones and gold dust i want to know how to recover it if you can help me i will be thankful to you thanks and regard
The other day i was watching this kid melt down aluminum cans in his homemade smelter kiln and man he has it done right he pours his own bars not ingots but bars weighed and stamped saving them for a rainey day if the price of aluminum goes up his bedroom looks like a miniature fort knox for aluminum bars all stacked neatly. It got me to thinking that he may be onto something i am incline to make a go of his idea as well with aluminum readily availible in all forms as it is.
PLATINUM IS GREY
Pete Deiler so is gold with 3% lead,
proably more like 10+% lead.
So is pyrite in pictures....aka fools gold
Man listen to all the haters. They are just mad cause you waist more gold than they will ever find. He'll if I had a half a pound of gold I wouldn't worry bout it either.
4:05 cringe
Caleb - as someone with no experience mining or smelting gold, I also had to almost look away because it appeared that he was losing a lot of material that could be potentially hundreds of dollars, and also when he was crunching it in the container and it was flying out everywhere. Why would he do it like that? Especially knowing its worth?
I liked it.i never get tired of seeing gold melted and poured
I can see why nobody wanted to pay you $22,000 for a rock that only yielded
That was not the case with this specimen
he did take the biggest chunk of gold off the rock before crushing the rest though
Benjamin Filbert He kept the largest Best gold sample so it was somewhere close & someone would have paid that eventually
Yah that chunk had twice what he poured
You can stretch pure gold though so 10k worth of pure gold can easily make some 1 22k that makes jewelry.
The neighbor cat's affection is worthy of a kind responce. Please make some $. Love y' all.
22,000 WHAT
I have no idea what that name means but anything ending in 666 isn't good....Ur right... $22K???!!! For $2k (maybe) of gold? And what's so sacrilegious about getting the gold you worked to collect?
I see dumb people they're everywhere
2k gold? Bruh 7 plus ounces @ 1200 an ounce..tf you smokin'?
@@treynathaniel4075 shoot man. That ain't anywhere near 24k gold. That's just refined ore and it's still full of every other metal that was in the ore. He's lucky if it's even 10k gold at the point the video ends.
Definitely one of the kooler videos on RUclips. Hats off
A fine display of failure every step of the way. Foolish...
did you just wanna jump on bandwagon of people talking crap. Why not give him some advice that he could use not some retarded comment
sweet
I have had hard times with kilns myself, the mini kiln seems to be pretty legit, my buddy bought one and he is an avid rock hound / gold hound.
Whats your address?
Treasure Geo I know, right?
You did the right thing!!!!! Awesome video!!!!
Sloppy sloppy sloppy it was hard to watch honestly wow
I like that you edit the slow parts well put together
That is a amazing piece, seems like it would be worth more in its natural state, awesome 👌
You keep saying people think it's "sacrilegious", I think it’s great! Thank you for sharing the process.
He who has the gold makes the rules. Its your gold do what you want. Thanks for the video.
Your witch craftery was appreciated! 😎
Very Very cool video brother! Awesome to see a bar made straight from ore!!! 8.21oz is a really nice size!!😁😁
Its not sac-religous my friend. This is the best way to seperate gold from the host rock. Nice video. It is heartbreaking though that you found that huge specimen and no one would buy it. Good luck my friend
You deserve a thumbs up for all the effort
I am not going to say anything after seeing that gold flying everywhere.
I watched this video months ago and it inspired me to make a grinder/crusher but I didn't know back then this is Dave from GB lol just subbed, and I got to tell you I have been buying ore for the last couple weeks and None of it I can even see one speck under magnification so I seriously do not think I will be panning any gold after crushing 250 lbs hopefully a little.
Truly enjoyed the video of smelting...
Love to see a remake when you learn how to do it!
A great advert for calling in the professionals.
WOW SO COOL! I HOPE TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS ONE DAY TO PUT ON MY TABLE lol! Thanks for sharing this! too bad the rock had to be crushed though your right i was not happy to see it get pulverized at all lol, but i enjoyed this still!
Love the way you set the red hot stir rod on bare wood ...
This is bathtub crank quality. I love it
any way you put it...it went from a rock to a gold bar.. thats bad ass...stop all those hating comments..we all wish we could do this and ended up with a gold bar...nice...great video..
he got so much gold that he doesn't mind it being thrown around away while crushing it
wow!!!... I sure would like to get involved with finding gold and learn all the trades of it. .. nice video thanks for sharing!
