Crushing & Panning Gold From An Oxidized Outcrop!

[@kahnfu-zhin8627]

Another swell video, Justin! Thanx for lettin us see these great spots.

[@mikelouis9389]

I'm addicted to watching your videos with captioning on! Today's gems are when you're running the crusher. It says "applause " and "music" LMAO! Music to a gold prospectors ear, but the applause only comes if the soft yellow metal hits the stage!

[@911mining]

Lol, KZbin captioning doesn't recognize a lot of words or the way people say them know what you mean 😁

[@chrissaucier9386]

Y'all having too much fun.... Awesome conglomerate and I'm sure we will be seeing the exploration of the brook water running down that hill ! Y'all keep up the great videos Thank you !

[@catch22frubert]

Very nice looking material, guys. I always like seeing the ore get crushed up and panned down. You had some great samples in there!

[@desertnaturemonuments3320]

I love the desert, beautiful trekking, and searching for gems and curiosities

[@ablelawrence5750]

Glad you didn't hurt yourself bud, another great video. You guys are sooooo Lucky to do this. Thanks eh

[@mxmech9128]

Is that a herk sticking out at about 1:50s in?

[@stevetreloar6602]

As always, it's a pleasure to watch your work.

[@andysAudio]

love the ore throw and the falling rock right before haha. awesome videos guys, hey im from bc and its great to learn what to look for in rocks around here so thanks for the lessons!!!

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

Some of that material has insane oxidization! Have you ever explored any of the streams that feed Lake Cowichan? Or the Cowichan river?

[@911mining]

Yes a long time ago we haven't found any which are gold bearing. Well a few but not very rich.

[@toomaskotkas4467]

Were the oldtimers looking for this kind of material too or only for the quartz veins?

[@911mining]

They would look for this, there area has hoards of gold and iron deposits which are known all discovered from logging this ones a new one they logged about 6 months ago and cut into dozens of exposures.

[@matthewsgoldenadventures3330]

The creek I work the bedrock is a highly oxidized and crumbles pretty easily if it was you would crush it up and see if that was were the gold was coming from because I have never had a pan that didn't have at least 2 colors in it and I've worked the same spot for 4 months now and it still produces plenty of gold every time I go down there please let me know what you think

[@JayDubb3BCT]

What exactly is sulfides?

[@911mining]

Sulfide minerals, are a combination of iron and sulfur. As an example, iron pyrite is a portion iron and a portion sulfur, chalcopyrite is copper, iron sulfur, galena is lead, silver, iron, sulfur. Sulfides often contain valuable elements that make them ore or rocks worth mining for there content. There are hundreds of different sulfide mineral combinations.

[@cobia1794]

As much as you sample during the year, what do you figure you capture for just sampling? Just curious.. Or is it catch and release..lol..

[@911mining]

A lot is catch and release most very fine gold. I would say this year from sampling maybe 3-5 ounces. Not including mineral deposits that's just placer.

[@cobia1794]

@@911mining That's not too shabby...

[@sandman4thewoke121]

At 11:50 look at the rock u r leaning on as you pan...... what is that on the bottom of it ..... does anyone see what I see ???????

[@911mining]

Just before 11:50 you mean, the rock in question I didnt look to closely at but I know it's got a calcite vein on the side.

[@sandman4thewoke121]

It’s a black rock on your left with a vein on the bottom it looks like gold, but what do know it’s at 11:50

[@911mining]

Yes that's a calcite vein, it's a little oxidized from slight mineral content.

[@sandman4thewoke121]

K ...I seen something glittery lol ..... I’m learning a lot from u guys..... keep it up and thank you

[@lequebecois2]

there is incredibles minerals there wow those crystals are big!! all the polished stone on the ground are looking quite nice from here too!!!!

[@engineng8916]

You have made a special mechanism for the spiral machine. do you have a detailed video about this

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That was proper interesting stuff to watch. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@GR19611]

So the white clay layer is decomposed bedrock that the conglomerate layer is sitting on.?

[@911mining]

A small compact gravel/clay layer mix We have tested it there are some sulfides but little gold. The layer above the oxidized Conglomerate is were all the good stuff is

[@phillipja2010]

Very educational. You guys are genius! Learnt heaps about sulfides and oxidation, but need more info. In this video which rock ore did you crush? Does this ore hold the most gold in the conglomerate outcrop? I couldnt see quartz in the outcrop.

[@engineng8916]

hi friend! Does the spiral machine have chain at the end or standard spiral head?

[@anthonylagran2868]

You always have an informative videos... Got so many ideas.. how about the quartzs scattered in the river loaded a lot of pyrites.. is it a good ore? Thanks

[@fabiobeyhautkuhn2211]

Hi Justin,niiiice vid,and just the same stuff im finding here,on coastal creeks,no gold YET,but high hopes.So many times got my hands burned with that sulphides,can you tell me if im wrong suposing where oxide water doesnt burn,it comes from iron,and where it boil my hand,it comes from pyriye,acid increasing caused by sulfure in ot,is this right or i am wrong? Thank you,veeery nice vid.

[@mikeblair2594]

You're right

[@engineng8916]

how much grams did u find? and are the rocks quarts?

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

😂😂 your mining partner and I, both have the same methods for carrying a bucket down the hill. I love his style 😂🤠

Lol

[@andrewj4241]

What a awesome in the field kit you have mint setup

[@montananative2414]

Nice little spot there. I would suggest that you do not walk on the log decks, A friend of mine was killed when the logs rolled in the deck he was standing on. Keep up the videos and stay safe out there.

[@arronthomas68]

Where did you get that grinder cap?!

[@mikerivers2705]

Very informative short video. I thank you and subscribed.

[@kevinhubbard8039]

wow yall are so lucky to have such a great location,great vid

[@IowaGoldProspectors]

I have come across a conglomerate mass not as extensive as yours. Thanks for posting your video.

[@RTLichable]

It's true, a "clay layer" usually does keep pacers on top the layer, however, I got fooled once by a clay layer on North Clear Creek, just downstream from Black Hawk, CO. Turned out (after watching a KZbin video post a few years later) a guy found decent gold BELOW the clay layer coincidentally at the exact same spot I had prospected!

[@Coltn3125]

Same at barkerville way back when everyone was working the river. Everyone else dug to the blue clay layer and stopped when they got good gold. Billy Barker dug down past the clay and at 52 feet struck the riches that made the area famous.

[@beckyelliott2871]

Just missed a good opportunity for getting a good days’ pan of gold - bummer! Just a little deeper....!

[@911mining]

We test the clay, while there was a little less than above.

[@kurtdiegel7430]

Can I basically crushed any rocks or quartz in a gold bearing area and try to get gold out of it?

[@911mining]

Not always, sulfide bearing samples which contain gold in the sulfides are a little trickier, without the proper refining equipment you wouldn't get full recovery. Crushing is always a good test for free mill gold but you can also miss gold bearing sulfides.

[@anthonysakowski9261]

Where is one location I can go to?

[@frederickbierweiler8020]

hahaha

[@patrickrichardson724]

Nice, be careful with your panning though don’t want to lose any

[@haroldvonhelms8304]

will gold be in pyrite

[@911mining]

Not always but yes it can be found as a replacement mineral in a multitude of sulfides, it was also be associated as free a mill element

Lol

[@loyalkuhn5778]

Looks like the crusher was doing it's job but how did those big chunks get through the classifier? Must have been Miner Magician Fast Fingers... Not a bad return for the time you spent, although it might have been quicker without the escaping bucket of panning material - I know because I've had the same thing happen on a steep wet slope as well. Good video !! Thanks for the trip and keep the videos coming !!

[@911mining]

Lol I always find a piece or two sneaks through the classifier some how 🤷‍♂️

Ahhhhhhhh so there is some Gold in them there hills...nice little Rock crusher,where can I get one??..eventually I'll learn some of the geological names of the surrounding rocks..it's kinda hard when my head is a rock 🤪

[@911mining]

We have a link in the description for the angle grinder crusher there is also one for a chainsaw

[@matthewmartinez1091]

Hey brother I got some information for you the grade that you found is really high grade but what it looks like to me is whenever you find ore that has purple in it it's either gold mixed with aluminum or gold mixed with tin but you can't really pan that you would have to extract it by dipping it into aqua regia and precipitating it out if it doesn't precipitate out then you have to drop a piece of copper in there and then start over again but it'll work

[@RichardRoger1966]

How long does a battery last?

[@911mining]

About 25 or 30 min of straight constant crushing, no stops, we have a few spares, we used 1.25 battery life for this test.

[@haroldvonhelms8304]

chunks of pyrite ???? explain

[@Mattytube18]

What state?

[@ronvi4539]

Would not the larger gold be trapped in the clay layer? Just a thought>>>>

[@911mining]

On top of the clay layer you c as n find some but your matrix in the Conglomerate holds more.

[@garymiller6269]

good job get more buckets about 20 of them it is worth trying... I would do it if i was there...

[@PingerProspecting]

Sweet video. So what is the lesson? Crush or don't crush !!!!

[@911mining]

Depends, if your doing a small operation your better to just run material and get placer gold out of the matrix, if your sending to a refinery or knew how to seperate gold from sulfides crushing would give you a higher yield.

[@alyssafarrardonkel1389]

[@thomasackerman3995]

Nice toss..lol

[@engineng8916]

Why don't you dig and pan where the water flows

[@pixelspring]

i am wondering if you aren’t loosing a bunch of what is actually there in your ultra fines being washed out. if the gold is bound up and mineralised you will extract more of it via cyanide or mercury process... admittedly , you aren’t going to do that in a quick field pan test ... which is i know what you are depicting here,... just wondering if there is actually much more there than is meeting the eye?

[@911mining]

Yes there will be more for sure panning out ultra fines and gold in your sulfides isn't a good way to recover just to see if the gold primarily in the rock or matrix
