GoldProspecting Panning Separation Mining Black Sands Removal

[dannzo111]

good job man

who say otherwise - can come up with better process

(still waiting for the video of panning fine gold with pan ?????)

[Bleppe]

@goldrushgang true, but these cons don't contain alot of gold particles but do have a lot of gold flakes in them. It separates them from the rest of the cons, just upside down. I've tried it with 30 mesh and 50 mesh so far, seeing as most alluvial gold is so minescule you can't even see it with your eyes i'm hoping 100 mesh will do better.

[goldrushgang]

@Bleppe Can you send me a picture? The gold is heavier and should be on the bottom. Whats under the gold? Sand? Black sand? Platinum?  Platinum is heavier than gold. 24k gols has a specific gravity of 19+ Natural gold is less than 19 because it has copper or silver mixed in. Platinum has a specific gravity of 21.51. You may have platinum in your cons. If so, the gold would be lighter and would be on top.

[Bleppe]

@goldrushgang They pretty much stay where you put them in the blue bowl, but if you churn them up too violently with the bucket method they march to the top apparently, and yes i do have platinum in my cons.

[Bleppe]

Tried it with screened cons, made a little mountain in the bucket with flake gold on top. Not sure if i'm doing it wrong or if this guide is bogus...

[goldrushgang]

@Bleppe Screened to what size? -18 mesh works best. At -18 a 200 mesh particle of gold is heavier than the largest particle of sand. The heaviest particles naturally go to the bottom and into the test cap.

Very good video. I used to used mercury as well to create an amalgam. I love your method! Very Ingenious!

[aleeeex1055]

dude, if i saw that gold in my pan, i would freak!!!

[MrSnafu44]

wow that is messy . i can pan flour gold using the old method . water and pan .

[jdat747]

Has anyone tried the process where you add borax to your concentrates and then melt the whole thing? It's supposed to leave glass on top with a small gold/PM dore at the bottom. I haven't been able to find much info on the process though and it supposedly works as good as mercury

[blacksand357]

Freakin' ingenious... Can't wait to try this method as soon as I find the 2" plug...

[MoranJct]

Very interesting video. Thank you.. Will you be showing the use of the 2" test cap, with the hole in the middle? I would be interested in the physics behind why this works if you have the time. Thanks again for a good video and I will be trying this out here in Colorado.

[sh3lbot]

gold wheel would have been a lot better

[indyme2]

High tech equipment? LOL. Great concept. Great video. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos.

[DennyFilms]

Where else can you get the coagulant?

[danjcan]

always recycle all of the water...except what you splash all over the place...

[AGDemo]

Great video thank you alot!

[kellymichaelingram]

I found the 2" plug at Lowe's. In the plumbing section, paid $0.68 for each. This works so much better than anything that I've ever tried. It will blow a BlueBowl away!!!!!

[rooshooter1977]

mate??? i can pan that size gold in my pan and keep it there at the river!!!

[goldrushgang]

@rooshooter1977 Great! Make a video and show us!

[dkissickable]

What type of coagulator did you use?

[goldrushgang]

@dkissickable I got it from my local municipal water treatment plant. I asked and they gave it to me. Ask for a coagulant that drops metals. 

[AGDemo]

@dkissickable That was my question too.....

[antonio3324]

This is cool. You should have patented this idea. Unless somebody else created it.

[BeerHits]

Did not say, what is the science behind it, how does it work??

[opengate6]

Great idea here. Looked for towo inch test plug in several large hardware stores but found nary a one. Is the plug designed to let some water down into the bottom bucket while the water moves in a circular motion? Anyone know where online to get a plug like one in the video.

[goldrushgang]

@opengate6 search google images for... plumbers test cap

[oilpond]

Awesome and thankyou so much...

[WacticalTactical]

Is there any kind of detergent in the bucket or is the water just foamy?

[goldrushgang]

@WacticalTactical

Yes I do put just a little dish soap in the water.

[Unbeloved1]

A BUCKET INSIDE OF A BUCKET! GENIUS!

[staydput]

The flotation process in a bucket.

[onthehuntforgold]

Thank you what a great idea and no pump etc. work the cons by the light of the old campfire at the end of thee day, centrifugal force at its finest.

[hootsmeister]

I see the mechanics --- but what coagulant do you use?

[bassproshots]

1947 copper penny not steel worth a ton

[nevetszenitram1990]

@bassproshots 99 cents...on ebay and their canadian or austrailian...

[goddetective]

@bassproshots try 1963

[piecartbox]

Surely loose the float? Last cleanup I did I had a lot of float I recovered, dime sized patch got all stuck together looked like a lot of gold lol.

[GreywolfMiner]

nickmarch, how ya doing greywolf

[Digplayer]

Thanks, definately going to try this!

[UpTheAnimation]

An inverted blue bowl idea, that's very cool if it works and I will definately try it.

[mujicaalvarado]

is that a 1963 penny? I heard from a coin collector that if anyone finds a 1963 penny, it is worth about a million dollars because only a few were made and they have an obvious imperfection.

[Nuggettones]

gonna try it tomorrow!  looks like a good method in a dry area for gold recovery.

[htommyh]

Did you ever take a picture of the processed gold?

[spawn00x]

Looks interesting, Ive got to try it...
