All in all we grade him a C in knowledge but an A in entertainment.

    Sorry if you cover this in a video i havent seen, I’m disabled and in Australia so no competition to prospectors. I have always loved fossicking though and these days its impossible for me expect watching videos like yours. When watching videos where gold is recovered, its usually a video of panning and maybe using tweezers to pluck larger pieces out of the pan into a container. And los of shots of fine grain gold or even floating dust in the pans and at the end of the video they hold up a small bottle of the days takings, which is clearly very pure gold, not gold rich dirt and its dry too to show it moving around in the bottle. You know the shot i’m talking about. What nobody shows though is how to go from a well panned sample which obviously isnt 100% gold, it still has grains of other stuff in it to the “money shot” of bottle gold. Whats the process to get highly concentrate pan result to whats in the bottle? Is it just panning to the best you can? Maybe switching pans, do you put on magnifiers and hand pick each gold speck over hours with tweezers? Do you tip into filter paper and oven bake dry and then hand separate gold from non gold under a magnifier? There’s obviously steps involved between “look at all the gold in this pan” to “look at all the gold we collected today in this bottle” probably a lot of hours of boring work but i’dd be interest to know or is it some magic trick process you folks keep secret to stop others competing with you?

    Hey Dan, I love your content.
    Rock nerd here- be careful with that serpentine. Serpentine carries a significant asbestos content that is released when agitated or tumbled (certain types are almost pure asbestos)
    You REALLY don't want that in yer lungs.
    Fortunately, serpentenite fibers are curly as opposed to straight, and are therefore less deadly than classic asbestos. I still prefer my air rock-fiber free though.

    Do you ever talk about the economics of your prospecting? What it costs you, who you sell to? Not necessarily a how to, but maybe an understanding of why it's as much hobby than business? I'm curious about things like the Garnets, because they look like so much fun to harvest, but what do you do with them beside the bags?

    • @DayTrader__
      @DayTrader__ Год назад

      You can sell them to different companies and even Craigslist or Facebook for hobbiest to make jewelry or other items out of. eBay is also a good place to sell them. There is a lot of money in selling the cheaper gems but you have to sell quantities of them to make good money or figure out a niche like the grab bags like Dan has. Good luck! 🙃
