I'm not a smart man but the specimen is worth a hell of a lot more than that smelted stuff. Do you brother its just me having my opinion. If you and your friend are having fun thats what counts.

from scratch? so perhaps just some eggs and yeast, stir until well mixed and the bake in the oven until done?

@steveperez660 Ай бұрын

Hydrochloric acid and nitric acid and sulfuric acid

@steveperez660 Ай бұрын

You should use some acids to refine it better

How it happens u keep smelting ??

Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

I've never seen anyone use a mold as a crucible before. Are you doing it this way because you're processing the gold inside, and don't want to pour molten metal indoors?

@TheNuggetHunter Ай бұрын

I use a fire clay crucible for smelting, the molding is in a graphite mold

Are you making a 24k ring? It's pretty common to crack at that purity, in Italy they make them 18k and in Dubai they really push it up to 21k but usually only for earrings or stuff that doesn't touch the skin. Maybe I'm just ranting and you're not using pure gold, but make sure you use a compound, most rings in the us are 14k, i think you can make better without it cracking

@TheNuggetHunter Ай бұрын

Ya that one of my probs, I'm doing 22-23.75k

@@TheNuggetHunter ok, good luck 🤞 i believe you need to find a workable alloy to make it possible. My previous comment is not correct btw, it's not gold that cracks but the presence of mineral impurities. I would try to make sure my gold is at the highest purity and then work it down with the alloy metal from there. Do you have any idea of the composition of your nuggets? I foresee an interesting chemical study in your journey. Very cool experiments, good luck again

That's awesome James! Great work! Have you considered trying out lost wax casting or maybe sand casting? It might work better than graphite, graphite is an excellent material for sapping heat out of whatever material is touching it and and that rapid cool down could be contributing to your cracking issues. I have to be mindful of it with my glass work as well for the same reason.

@TheNuggetHunter 2 ай бұрын

Yes I have, and I chose this method for several reasons, the cracking was cause I was using placer gold with no alloy that is not totally pure, it’s not like working with 99.99% gold, this is the best way for me with the equipment I got, when I get a new furnace with temp control I can to “pour” type casting

Good idea, but if black sand gold is very fine, I recommend Centrifugal concentrators , otherwise half gold can be lost

@klausdyck5785 2 ай бұрын

If you use handgloves, it ist necessary to use Drops. And if you learned to use a Pan it is usually to separate Black Sand from very very very fine Gold in time. No good Video.

You’re a good man. First off, I have no gold near my city. Bad geography, I suppose. I have a boy and a wife who I’m trying to get interested in panning, but asking the claim-owners for permissions is getting me nothing but rejections, perhaps other Albertans are giving me a bad name? Long story short, I’m spending time in the valley and the public panning reserve seems to be my only option. Your tips may make the days a little bit more fun. You’re living the dream man, I admire you. Thanks for the vids.

Just goes to show you don't need all the expensive stuff to catch gold. Although wood is right up there with gold in value seems like. That is some rich ground. Just subscribed, where is this...Canada?
