Crushing Quartz Rock For Gold With A Portable Rock Crusher

  • Please join me and Ben of the Gold Spur Mining camp in Australia as he shows me how to collect samples of native quartz rock and then crush and process them in a small portable rock crusher. The hand powered rock crusher does the job, but makes a most hideous screeching and grinding noise. Nails on a chalkboard bad. He then pans out the fines to see if the quartz has enough gold in it to work profitably. He does all of the work and I just talk a lot, as usual.

    Thanks! I loved this video. Years ago I panned for gold on my family’s property in North Georgia. I would have loved to have had that rock crusher! There was a lot of quartz (not as much as during the mining days in the mid 1800’s) and crushing and panning the quartz would have been a lot of fun.

      sounds like you need to just get out and go do some prospecting around anyplace near you that is wild, the Arkansas river seems tame but it has more gold going down it than you could pick up and haul no matter how strong you may be, in one given day, though its all what is known as "flour" gold super tiny, but go back up the river to streams and such and that is where it is bigger and coming from, and the whole world has something to be found, personally I am interested in rock hounding (what they are still at the stage of doing here before as he said "big industrial set up" is moved in, lol) for things like vanadium ore or zirconium ore, among others, so my say is next time you have a weekend and could go camping, go exploring for something even if its a hand ful could pay for a month next time you get a vacation, :)

    I feel like you could connect that little crusher machine to the wheel of your car and just floor it for a couple minutes while sitting in some nice cool A/C. All you would need is to jack up your car and make the crusher handle able to retract in and out, kinda like the piston on a steam locomotive

    the gold comes up? LOL pretty sure that is not what is going on, but since none of us is over even 100,000 years old to have seen it we can only guess, however all that quartz and gold deposits you see are runny like it was molten at some point recently (as in long after it might have been pushed up from the mantel even though gold being as heavy and resistant to being coupled to make it lighter as a salt, means it would just keep migrating till it gets down deep enough that the pressure is not high enough to keep it from boiling where it ends up sticking around as an extremely thick atmosphere or at least bubbles stuck in higher temp materials that are only molten at the same temp and pressure the gold goes critical and turns into a gas (ie it allows the atoms to break loose from the surface tension at an average of what ever sound travels in boiled gold atoms at, like the atmosphere we breath has an average speed of 700mph same as sound through it, thus causing it to thin down drastically, the slower the speed of energy for gas the thicker but air under 1atm is about 1:1000 ratio of solid mass per vacuum around us, so...
    anyway, the molten nature of the look of gold in those seams looks more like earth quakes and such caused electric discharges off the piezo electric effect of the quartz it's found in, if not even drawn out of the surrounding material due to this shock and up that seam or down it before the whole mass then migrates up as two techonic plates push by each other one down and one up to make say mountain ranges and such,
    what is curious is that most deposits like this have lead under them and copper above, odd that since both are opposing weights and all, something to think about.

You would have paid more for that Ryobi, with which you would be better off trying to tickle the rock into submission, than a cheap demo hammer from EBay.
    I think im just very anti, in alot of cases, battery anything where 240 volt is available. Unless you wandered alot further from the ute than it looked of course, but it didn't look very far.

    Gold is in quartz veins because during The Flood 4,350 years ago the liquid quartz carrying dissolved gold flowed up through cracks in the shattered granite of the Earth's original crust.
    Gold dissolves in the super hot water that give Eartth undercrust heating by piezo-electrical generation as the sun and moon pull and flex the crust.
