- Sit back relax and enjoy the epic conclusion to this prospecting adventure!
Apparently, according to Pioneer Pauly and Jeff Williams you can actually find gold in Home Depot and Lowe's bags of play sand right from the hardware store. I'm going to test this discovery on a whole new level and purchase 2 CUBIC YARDS of crushed concrete sand to process for gold!

Buy a whole mountain of sand, remove the gold and sell the sand at a premium because it is washed sand safe for kids to play with when all heavy metals are removed.
It still wouldn't come close to paying the labor, fuel or material costs. It's a fun experiment, but if it were possible to make a profit this way, gold miners wouldn't bother being so selective about what material they processed.
Cons from an old timers processing plant or even a mine would be the way to waste your time.
No lie. Japanese swordsmiths use the black sands to make their Samurai swords. It's their tradition.
So the black sands that everyone throws away can be turned into some of the best metal in the world. I'd love to see the Forged in Fire show use this technique
"free range", "organic", "vegan", "non dairy", "carb free", "hypoallergenic"...
Why buy that contaminated sand from the other guy!? Buy our dirt for 500% the price...
Next thing you know, you start seeing this kinda thing in Whole Foods stores all across the country...and boutique stores...
No kidding, but you'll have to remove all the mercury to avoid lawsuits, Great Idea, I posted a similar post before I saw yours. 👌🇺🇸🙏👍
2 yards of sand is 540 shovels full. Attaboy!
You do a job like this where you shovel the whole thing by hand really makes you appreciate the heavy equipment you have. We are so lucky to live in a time when we have access to it.
1.33gm/2 yards equals 2 troy ounces per 100 yards of sand! The Gold Rush folks would tell you to set up a small washplant, run it, and then sell the sand after wards..
Ah yes! The pain of the traditional sluice. They are so slow!
Now, if you had a Green Mountain Gold Trap in a diy troth (man made river) and ran a large pump as the water source, you would have chewed through two yards in maybe two hours time!
Wish you would have added the tailings back into the bucked before running it on the shaker table. Bet you would have had more!
👏🏻 Great Job!
Now that's paydirt! That was freaking awesome! If you had fun, that's even better.
if you think about it. you set up a proper gold catcher on the property, get a dump trailer and on your way home each day, pick up a couple yards.
And work for $60 dollars a day. AWESOME 👍
😅😅😅😅😅@@professionalhuman4429
@@professionalhuman4429 "On your way home". Did I say do this everyday, good way to make money on the weekend or spare time.
@@professionalhuman4429 are you working 24/7 , no spare time at all?
just needs to add a filter to the end of the intake of the hose and raise it to just the top level of water so then it will go till the sand displaces the water instead of fully recirculating
Great stuff 👍 been waiting for this 💚💛❤️
Great Experiment! Good Job, It Even Surprised Me👍😉🇨🇦
I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in you have a great sense of humor and a great work ethic! God bless love from Colorado.
@3:52 - I paused to comment here. The first thing that popped in to my mind seeing this setup is "Cool." The second thing that popped in to my head was "Displacement is going to come in to play here."
Just need to park the trailer up a little higher and wash all the sand down the sluice, save the shoveling
Thousands of dollars worth of equipment, 8 hours back breaking labor for 100 dollars minus 30 dollars for the sand. This is why most of the gold mines closed down. The payout for the gold has to be more than the cost to extract it.
Has to be FAR more like 4 times minimum to be able to live and make a profit
He has more time than brains . Especially with the dumb background music .
Not to mention electricity, water, and propane costs.
I’m going to start selling sand after I process the gold out. lol good job
Wow! I am really surprised. Good job!
Volume of gold is surprising. If not economical it's revealing
Well done and such a down to earth way of telling the story, Far better than Pioneer Pauly's video my friend
Very impressive. Well done 👏
Way to much water with that pump
Not enough o’s in ‘to much’…………too much
Pretty sure the pump recirculates the same water. It’s mostly electricity cost.
@@nickkerinklio8239he is losing most of the gold, that’s the issue
@@nickkerinklio8239volume
I agree. Slower water flow might help him catch a little more to up that total.
Great job! Im amazed🍻
Thank you.
Great experiment 😊
I hope you ran the stuff from your panning bucket to see what you missed 💚💛❤️
You earn my like What a great video
Greetings all the way from Mexico
Classification really helps with panning
You must have not got that far in the vid 😂
Wow! That's seriously impressive though! Great video!
What these prospectors channels have started is epic. Good luck sir and I’m here to add to this videos views.
Will maybe sub just because seeing others succeed brings me joy.
Good job!
Great video 😊
Good for you!!!
You have to be in Arizona or California to find that much gold in quarry sand. Be nice if we had that around here.
Anywhere just south of the greatlakes too. Glaciers left a lot of gold behind when they receded.
Home Depot should pay us!
I see you there. 👀👍😉🤩♥️
@PioneerPauly Yeah, I wonder if they know they are professional fly poop dealers? 💩
Thats what i call fun sand
Nice work!!
Thank you for making this Amazing Video.. I am watching from my Gold Mine in the counrty of INDONESIA Sir.. BRAVO
Wow what awesome job GOLD
Well done that. Look really hard work, but really worth it excellent.❤
Fair play that's next level procrastination 👍
Good job. A couple of suggestions if you put the flared box at the top and the wider box on the end the water will slow down just a little to allow the smaller partials of gold to settle and you did mention about cleaning up after each run. Adjust water flow to fine tune.
The property where I live is all old river bed. I dug swimming pool size holes with a back hoe to bury some junk and it was sand all the way down to the bottom. I was sand blasting a car body using sand that I baked from the yard. I built a fire and put a large enameled pan full of sand in the fire. When I dumped out the pan there was a dime sized spot of gold melted to the bottom of the pan. So we are talking about an acre sized lot of sand deep as you can dig. I figured it would be too hard to process, so not worth the trouble. Maybe I was wrong about that
If you used a solar panel and batteries to power the sluice making your electric cost free and you get truck loads of that sand and run it on your off time then sell the sand as "play sand" that's been washed then you could make a good bit of money as a side project. I didn't think you would have gotten half of what you did so it is definitely something I would look into getting going. Great job!
Where are you located? I’m sure that factors into this, but this is exciting.
I'd say that's the biggest factor in this
That was a profitable experiment!
Yes it was. Who knows maybe I'll do it again someday when gold prices are even higher.
@@wildernesseric Well that's 50 per yard and sand is still worth 17 per... think big... Buy the the whole pit sluce the gold and then sell the sand ... If one can believe the gold rush show they would be all over 67$ per yard... Real mines work on way less.than that...
on what planet was it profitable? it was nearly 15 hours of work and he pulled out 102 in gold. do you do maths? ROFLMAO
How much does yt pay for 140k views? @@hypnotherapycw
You forgot the dirt on the wheel cover
7:36 that's what plumbers call a belly.. if a drain pipe gets a low spot or sag all the grease and stuff starts building up there and you'll have clog after clog until it's fixed.
Your improvised sluice box is genius, but what came to mind is inserting a separator in the bucket to block the sand
from getting to the pump intake hose...
Good find
That sand pit needs to install a washplant and sluice...
Yes, I was thinking the same. @ $50 a yard it wouldn't take long to start making money.
under the laws in the US you can not mine the gold and sell the sand at the same time unless you meet the right rules.
i know as i am in the mining business and have tried to get the rights to do it.
@@anned8634
That sounds about right.
Like I said before the sand pits around my area were Shaker deck at the old sandpits
Great watch, thats actually profitable here 🍻😎
1:33 DAMN thats cold!! Hahaha, imagine it actually happening to you back during the wild west days!?
The water is pretty fast, but great idea
I will say this….
You have me subscribed
That is golden
Have you considered getting a blue bowl or gold wheel?
I think you should have checked if you were getting any gold after the 1st round. Because, if there's nothing or very little gold in the sand you could've saved yourself a lot of work.
Good watch mate.
It appears that Darrell has his table angle pitching towards the catch bucket. Water flow should be down and away from the bucket, to carry the lighter material to the discard , and the table movement will cause the heavies to climb the riffles into the bucket . This is how Jason with mbmm describes his setup. Not sure why Darrell has it that way, maybe he knows more about his machine than I do. Hopefully.
I thought about Jason's setup too as I was watching him and Darrell using his. 😉
That's the last time they sell unwashed gravel jk lol. Maybe open up a "wash plant!"
7:34 I wonder when you were going to get that middle braced. I would have took my gussets from the center of your plywood all the way to the bottom of my feet, two things I would have stabilized the legs from shifting and support at the middle of the plywood at the same time. 😉👍
Yeah, that would have been the better way to build it. I thought the board was stronger.
I'm glad you showed everybody the wrong way to remove Mercury from your gold.
Absolutely correct there are way better ways to remove it then to turn it into a gas and pollute the air
I'm sure you're right but I've only ever seen mercury be burned off. What's a better way to deal with it?
Why is that wrong?
There are videos out there that can show you how to properly remove Mercury from your gold, that will help prevent you from causing damage to yourself and the environment
@@ardusesonnier3304 so you're saying vaporizing the mercury off works it's just toxic.
Keep the cons, and get a blue bowl. This is pretty neat.
Next time you do this pot a 5 gallon bucket in the backhoe bucket to put your pickup hose in and for water to drop in and keep Out the sand. You may need to drill a few holes to get the right water level
Nice haul. But grab another 2 yards and see if your buddy will let you use the shaker table again run thru it quicker.
you always have a big smile on your face no matter hiw shit the task
Love how you have a whole house to build,but there’s always time for prospecting.you have my respect,,i would do the same,,those bricks and stuff aren’t going anywhere.👍
I would think that you would want the water pressure up a little bit higher on that shaking table to keep the gold below the bolts.
Thank you for doing THE Experiment. lol
You did pretty good. I didn't think you would find that much gold.
You are making me think I should do the same lol.
I am finding it hard to get around so that might be the plan pretty soon
since I can not get out to prospect at the moment.
I still miss at least panning.
Thank you again for sharing.
Ha! Love it Eric!!
I did a bag of quick Crete sand and actually found a good little smile of micros.. Great way to learn to pan for any newbies out there.
Nice!
Should learn to use the tare function on your scale
Hey Eric do you have any advice on how to go about buy a gold claim?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...... loved your video and effort to run all that sand😂
The flour fold wizard has water flow heads for sluces .
The gravel pit near me in the lower elevation of the mother lode Sierra foot hills runs their sand through a gold reclamation system before they sell it.
If you ever do this again, might want to try and put a rock in a plastic bucket and then your pump intake in the bucket and set that at the end of your tailings bucket and I would think you'd be able to get a lot more sand through before the unsuspended sand starts making it into the pump. Although I'm sure the breaks were very much needed haha
Fun experiment! Thanks for sharing. There's little to no gold in my area for panning... or is there?!?
How wrong would it be to invest in a bag sealer and return the sand? 😂
Haha, there you go then you are guaranteed to find enough gold to pay for it... unless you didn't find any at all.
@@wildernesseric Not much of a "guarantee" then is it?
@wildernesseric uhh yea it is is your not paying anything for the sand lol
$100 in gold. 8 hrs work. fast forwarding your video, priceless.
A friend used to work at Granite construction gravel pit/rock plant and said that place used to make about 3 million a year in gold and that was in the 80's
Great job all around fam. Nice Au indeed. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Thanks again!
Great job Man . That was Awesome. Next time make sure to use some jet-dry to break up the surface tension of the water and your gold won't float.
Bravo 👏 🎉
Old buddy years ago told me that the old timers would separate the gold/mercury by slicing a potato in half, then cut an indented hole in flat side...put the mercury mixture on something that's heated from underside. Put potato (hole side) over top of mercury. Now when you heat it the mercury and fumes will burn off...and stay in the potato. Take your gold off hot metal - and you can recycle your mercury that is now in the potato. *Still beware of the mercury fumes that can escape during burn off.
And some of them used to eat the potato afterwards!
I'm curious. I live on 2 acres south of San Antonio, on about 5-6' of sand, apparently a million or so years ago this was a beach, several sand companies in our area, might have to dig up the yard and give it a try!
tip: point your hose the other way at the top, so its blowing backwards. You want the flow of water to naturally pass down the sluice, not be forced down it - the whole top section of sluice is wasted. Having the hose pointed back up towards the back wall won't clog anything as the constant flow of water will displace the dirt. You can shovel it in directly between the hose and back wall of the sluice.
I've seen experiments where guys break all the rules while feeding a known amount of gold through a sluice just to see how important the details are. Too steep, leaning, too much water, not enough water, infrequent cleaning. The result? None of it matters much as long as you aren't overloading the feed rate.
LMAO the digger bucket just dropping in the montage at 7:00
Haha yeah I need to replace a leaky hydraulic valve. I kept having to start up the tractor and pull the bucket back up as I went.
I believe it’s the piston seals in the lift cylinders more so then the valve block. Tho it wouldn’t hurt if you did both since it’s just o-rings in the valve. Also be sure to check out the safety check valves.
39:02 AMOCAT?!? What the hell kinda truck you... oh, yeah...got it... :P
Did you pan what was in the bucket to see what was left over? The biggest problem I saw was putting the sand into your recirculating water. The dirt embeds in the rifles and winds up letting everything ride on top and right out the sluice, which makes me wonder how much was really in there. That's why you always see a settling pond and a clean water pond.
You can buy crushed quartzite at landscape suppliers , im in Australia but should only cost the same or less than the sand
You look whipped brother. I dug a borrow pit on my property here in Alaska & now wish that I had processed it.🤣😂
I'd like to try that out and see what happens
Profits everywhere
Yeah, just make sure you're run that stuff again. Because you'll find even 300 probably mesh gold.
My father used to use a dry sleuth and it worked pretty well it was Dusty though
Just imagine if you had a little 3kw rig... even if your retention was just 75% of what you got here. 3kw sand rig can usually run just shy of a ton an hour. You could be pullin' over $200 a day in your sleep with about $10 electricity a day, few bottles of Jet Dry, and a tube of grease every month.
I have thought about doing this with the gravel loads the we get.
Heavy Pans!!!
You are going to need to have a look at that Bucket's Hydraulics. It keeps losing pressure.
You could build a retort fairly easily which would recover the mercury so it didn't just vaporise into the atmosphere.
A tin can, a weed burner and a brick went into a bar and met a stoner with no pipe… It was love at first sight.. 😅✌️
Where did you buy that sand? What state, town, or region of the country are you in?
That was awesome.. it'd be cool if you could set up an automated system to just filter all the sand so you don't do the manual labor for your next project🎉
what state are you buying sand from that will be a big factor to think about. I would appreciate an answer do not want to know your secret spot just what state you bought sand in. Was it on the East or Western US,. You do make great videos my friend. I subscribed and liked you earned it. Looking forward to more you have a steady viewer,
Be interesting to look at the black sand under a microscope- are there any silvery fine metals as well?
If you didn't have water I guess you could use a 55 gallon metal drum with the bottom and top cut out with holes drilled through it, a ebike to rotate it and a attached to a solar panel, and an air compressor, for a dry recovery
Whoa dude that water is pushing all the fine gold outta there
