  • For our second test of the Gold Drop concentrator, we used the richest hard rock ore we have ever seen to run through the machine and see how well the Gold Drop Concentrator recovers gold from this hard rock crush. What we found is an absolute pile of gold in this ore.

The vibrating classifier makes so much sense when I saw it. That one machine looks like it saves a lot of slow tedious manual labor. - Keep up the good work.

    Dan, I came across your channel a few weeks ago and have found your videos to be very interesting and entertaining. I grew up in the Northern California Gold Country so I have some background knowledge, but I won't claim any expertise. I did some panning when I was younger, and watching your videos is giving me an itch get out and try it again as a way to get out of the house.

    what a fantastic machine & a great channel,
    ime in the UK where we dont get so much gold & what we do get is usually fine alluvial gold,
    i have been using a home made contraption i built from old coke bottles & a bucket & some old fire hosing that i can use at a riverside with no power fore some years with some notable results at times,
    i can plow thru with my work of bodgery what would take me an afternoon of conventional panning in around an hour or 2 depending on how lazy ime feeling. It all fits in a backpak too.
    This gold drop machine of yours takes those fluid dynamics to a whole new level, its amazing to see it all working like that up close. Keep up the cool vids Dan, i do enjoy watching how you do it Stateside & seeing what you find,
    happy prospecting

    @xenaguy01 2 года назад +2

    9:34 The GolDrop separates by density of similar sized particles. Like any other density separator, if the particle sizes are all the same, the separation will be better. Dan mentions the Pyrrhotite as being very, very heavy. Actually, the specific gravity (density) is, like nearly all black sands, only ~4.3-4.5, while that of (most hard rock) gold is ~16.5+, or 4x that of pyrrhotite, or any other black sand. If there are 16 mesh particles of black sand mixed in with 50 mesh particles of gold, they are the same weight, and will react similarly in the water column of the GolDrop. Only when all particles are 50 mesh or smaller will any density separator approach 100% success, and give back 100% clean gold.
    16:30 See how much larger the pieces of sheelite (S.G. ~6) are than the pieces of gold. They are probably similar in weight, that's why the GolDrop captured them all. If Dan had been able to classify better, the GolDrop would have eliminated nearly all the non-gold materials, because they would be so much lighter than the gold.

    I like the physics behind this unit. Cool thinking by the inventor. Might have to get one when the crushed ores can justify it. I finally realized there is no magic tool. Just many different tools of the trade and you have to know how and when to use them. I’m sure everyone already had that figured out but it just recently clicked in my head.
