2 GOLD BUTTONS from Black Sand! SMELTING GOLD!

[@SCSColoradoable]

I LOVE the DIY sluice box!

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Thanks SCS, it works a charm!

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

@@triac777 Yes, this happened when I stated heating up the mold more. I imagine it cooked some of the oils out of the iron. What I use now is a high temp, dry film lubricant. It works!

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

Spray the mold with wd40 prior to pour. It adds a layer of carbon which keeps it from sticking to the steel and allows the smelt to fall right out. Got that from Jason at Mt Baker....

[@74KU]

Was just pausing to comment this exact thing :D

[@lucasjaywhite9759]

I am a year late but how does one make black glass actual balck glass

[@thomasackerman3995]

thats what we all talking about! Thanks for consistently showing the whole process for all of us!

[@dynomania]

The smelting / cupellation process is really fascinating. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@MiningMagnets]

Very cool man.Crazy how much gold is still in the black sands.

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

The next round of definitive testing will be exciting!!

[@GSProspecting]

looking good fam. keep at it. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@SCSColoradoable]

The garnet factory!

[@peterwiley4383]

Thanks for posting, surprised to see all that gold below the cube.

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Those extremely thin larger flakes are near impossible to catch!

[@jeepgirljody]

What a beautiful day! Looks like fun to me! Hello from Loveland /wave

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

👋Thanks Jody, it sure was!

[@tonybrabender5907]

Great video love that smelting!!!

[@smokedog123456789]

This is how the big boys do it

[@SunCityOffroadRecovery]

Do y'all ever offer gold mining trips?

[@SCSColoradoable]

Yeah he does! They are awesome

[@SunCityOffroadRecovery]

@@SCSColoradoable man how do I go about getting in touch with him then. I'd really like to get out there. He's the best miner I've seen on KZbin

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

@@SunCityOffroadRecovery Hello Timothy. I do offer prospecting tours and real world classes. I appreciate your support, it means a lot! I live for this stuff! You can find us on FB or check out www.coloradogoldcamp.com

[@10xitall]

You might have already figured this out, but some powdered graphite in your mold works pretty well.

[@HoodBillyLife]

Enjoyed watching

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Thanks Jack!

[@richardrobertson1331]

Thanks for posting. You mentioned you would offer an opinion about the value of your final product in relation to the time and costs of your efforts. I must have missed that part. Also, why don't you oxidize the lead prior to mixing it with your smelt chemicals? You certainly have some nice equipment so I think locating a better site might be in order.

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Hello Richard. I talk about the value proposition right at the end. I will be doing some definitive testing on spent cons in an upcoming video. Most of the visible gold (1.5 oz) was already extracted from these concentrates prior smelting.

[@johncos1068]

You ever watch mbmmllc? He sprays wd40 on his cone mold to keep the pour from sticking.

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Yes, wd40 and even spent oil can work. My go to now is a dry film lubricant.

[@twodudesonedredge]

Awesome video. I’ve never seen these process completed. It was fascinating.

[@scottlovesyoutube3763]

Love it!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@bigmoney3405]

Mount Baker Mining uses wd40 slicker than snot!

[@hardup9809]

Try spraying a little w -40 right before the pour slides out easier

[@hardup9809]

I literally posted this a minute before you said wd40 😂

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Hehe, thanks Jordan! I'm now using a dry film lubricant. Works n doesn't burn.

[@kerrypurcell6022]

it works,,,,, going to try this with my black sands

[@diggin3097]

Nice setup good work thanks for showing most just talk

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

My pleasure Dig! I have heard rumors that the non magnetics in this area are loaded in gold and silver so had to find out for myself.

[@SCSColoradoable]

Does that cost include your time? Mining seems to be soooo time consuming

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Nooooo. Haha, if I calculated my time value, I would be broke ;)

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Enjoyed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Yeehaww! I was back in WI over thanksgiving and thought of you. Heavy Pans!!

[@goldiswhereyoufindit]

The hematite in my area is supposed to contain large amounts of micron gold inside the hematite. This is the only video I could find on the internet of someone smelting oxides instead of sulfides. What flux recipe would you recommend? Maybe I can hit you up in an email so we can talk more?

[@CICADA2059]

Flux component??

[@markvolker1145]

I found spraying wd40 helps keep your pour from sticking to the mold..

[@johnh8615]

Spray some oil on your button mould so you have a thin layer of carbon to seperate your smelted black sands from the mould.

[@scotturquhart4311]

I miss your videos!

[@kevjou1]

I wonder if your lead was mercury covered gold?

[@TheGeologist101]

Bone ash or MgO cupel?

[@UtahGold]

Nice video. Couple questions: did you add the matte from smelt 1 to smelt 2? What flux recipe are you using? I don’t preheat my large conical steal mold and it doesn’t stick.

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Hey UT. Did not add the matte from the smelt. I will be doing definitive testing for this material next week. I had the same experience with the heavy mold. I did however figure out that preheating the mold does help the small straggler bb's of collector metal make it down to the button. Flux: chapman after roast on these cons.

[@UtahGold]

@@ColoradoGoldCamp thanks and good luck! Love the videos!

[@snowstephenanderson801]

always put a little borax in there at the bottom to keep it from sticking....it works for the iron or the graphite molds....peace

[@kurdiran-y1f]

Hello teacher, please tell us the name of the helpers, thank you ❤

[@TacticalCaveman997]

I've found that the black sand becomes more magnetic if you put it in an oven, then you can easily just separate the gold from the sand making it more pure. Still have to use acid to make it 999 pure

[@thomastaylor6511]

why do you wear a resperator

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

Smelting and cupelling can produce noxious fumes that are not safe to breathe. Even melting bars of let's say, brass is quite dangerous.

[@jessewilson8676]

Use some wd-40 it will burn when you poor but it will form a slight carbon film and allow for easy release.

[@seanb3516]

WD-40 is only partially effective. I strongly recommend spraying with Silicone Spray.

[@ScottBot2000]

Fun video. Try wd40 as a mild release.

[@FazilhussainShah]

Nice

[@dnrjentertainment4204]

I feel like I am watching mbmm 's channel. Informative though.

[@sahabuddinbuddin667]

[@korpse6rinder]

I hear wd40 works well for the release. MBMM has a good channel that might answer some questions or give you some ideas.

[@ColoradoGoldCamp]

It does, thanks. Dry film lubricant is also good.

[@Frank-vx5pc]

I have used wd40 for my molds to release easier

[@MrTinner007]

Flux.... Borax
