Crushing & Panning A Deteriorated Gold Bearing Quartz Vein!

[@ralphmcculley2085]

Ground samples about 6" down at the base. Always enjoy seeing you test that good looking material .thanks have a great weekend .

[@kahnfu-zhin8627]

Enjoyed a late autumn excursion with you guys! Not enough time to chase the gold in this vid, but you sure have some awesome places to hit!

[@brentsmith981]

Very interesting and informative! I wonder what dynamics cause very hard quartz to decompose to clays over so few linear feet

[@bryanworth8292]

I'll bet that crushing this ore down to a fine powder in a ball mill and then sending it across a shaker table would release some good gold values . I'd watch that video for sure !

[@freemanfornow264]

I agree with you in this......

[@SaraJean85]

I love when yall do some paning

[@almustafasound7591]

Add me

[@SHODGES69]

It was so good to see you with the pan in your hand looking for some gold. The other videos are cool but I don’t understand anything you’re saying anyways lol

[@bettib1002]

Haha, this is true. Make me want to become a geologist!!!

[@freemanfornow264]

I think I have it figured out then I go out looking and I'm lost lol

[@benruston2527]

Man, after two years of green fields exploration without seeing much, I would kill to be able to check out veins like this... Great videos 👍🏻

[@GOWIN8109837]

Definitely buried and far and few in between. For the good stuff.

[@GOWIN8109837]

I almost gave up panning alone ALL TOGETHER. THE GOLD BUG PRO ...HAS TURNED ME INTO A GOLD MONSTER.

[@freemanfornow264]

@@GOWIN8109837 did you ever use a gold bugII? If so, how does it compare to the pro

[@frankbyrd9345]

I am messing with gold samples now that's it's winter Fifteen 5 gal. buckets into the shop today to thaw out ... This is all much easier in the summer , your winter activities charge up my spirit But my 62 yr old , beat up body feels the cold , ha ! Gold to Ya !

[@chriscwikla7558]

I think what you meant to say was, today I brought my better pan so I know that I'll catch all of the gold. Either way thanks for the panning vid, I'm frozen out of my spots so this helps the fever.

[@Leo-qd2ud]

Deadly, new vid!

[@prospeccaoverdeourodoverde]

Gostei muito bom amo garimpo gold ótimo vídeo

[@stevenrowlandson4258]

Quartz vein turned to clay? What was in the mix with the SiO2 to allow that? Calcite, feldspar?

[@joeontko2186]

So this might be an obvious answer to a dismal question but here it goes. So would using a acid process " leeching" pull more gold out of the material?more so than just crushing and panning? I'm sure different material calls for different processes. Just curious in this instant. Thanks for the info and great videos.

[@ramondiaz8763]

On that quartz that look like clay u should squeeze into a ball then put it in bom fire. It will turn into soid stone or rock th e n crush it and u will see your gold better. After that pan it and u could see your gold bigger

[@milesnn]

Sweet adventure interesting area never thought quartz would deteriorate like that ha I knew u would find gold awesome guys thanks

[@cwhaenphong]

Thanks for your kindness

[@thems_the_brakes]

under what conditions does quartz deteriorate? Only if it has heavy sulfide content?

[@johnnyhalla7245]

That big rock next to the left of where you panned the first clay like stuff looks pretty nice.

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

How well does decomposed quartz hold on to gold? Will the gold have already leached out or will it hold it?

[@911mining]

What will usually happen is whatever unstable sulfides are holding gold will change composition and the gold will often stay behind inside the vuggy areas of the rock. Gold is stable and won't deteriorate so it will stay in place. If we wanted to get about 5 times what we saw you would need to process it better with crushing way finer. If we had a vein with the gold in the sulfide minerals and the sulfides were in place it would be a lot harder to process.

[@yoopermann7942]

@@911mining i know i didnt ask this question but i got the answer, thanks!

[@bjvoorhies]

Why not use your little 4" hand grinder driven thingie to pulverize it? Too wet?

[@coreymacgregor176]

Well at least your finding specs😂😅 I have found a bunch of pyrite and such but no gold at my old mine that I hit up. But it's fun as hell

[@ismailmetin6683]

So why u dont deal with one of gold company?

[@matttaylor863]

You find some incredible ground. Are you scouting for others or do you guys do processing work as well?

[@rickmessina5396]

How far does that decomposing quartz vein travel.????

[@911mining]

Exposed in 2 areas 30m apart but most likely quite a bit furthur

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

Sure hope there is more further back into the hillside!

[@vinivv]

when i dredge on one claim i had i enjoyed hitting Milk, decomposing quartz i new i was in the money then when water turned white

[@dirkverhoest936]

so what causes the Sio2 to turn to mush???

[@911mining]

Deterioration of sulfides, chemical and mechanical weathering, heat and pressure from secondary hydrothermal enrichment.

[@russellknight26]

It appears similar to ash after deterioration weird. There isn't any cool rocks like that around here sometimes I come across the odd sparkle or stained river rock. But getting to see the source rock in place is very cool.

[@loyalkuhn5778]

I know I've said it before, but that water looks damn cold. At least you have good gloves !!

[@911mining]

Its still manageable it hasn't been to cold this year yet.

[@Hartcore11]

The last sample was simular in looks to some of the stuff I found here in Japan. I need to process it.

[@hankaan7542]

Which country is this?

[@davidlloyd2225]

1:40 thank u❤️🇬🇧💯 1:48

[@parkerrowe8902]

Is there gold in the loose material that has already deteriorated in the soil at the toe of the slope? Has that ground been already worked for gold?

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

Yeah, the foot of that outcrop is where the most and easiest float gold will be. But of course, if you are prospecting the VEIN as a LODE deposit, instead of a placer deposit, you will be more focused on the values ABOVE that potentially rich deposit of sedimented gold. ~( 'w')/

[@danielabboud8370]

Let, nice ASMR

[@lesterleporesr5228]

Nice to see ya using a real pan...😂

[@GOWIN8109837]

Thats my luck, every time. Find awesome stuff. Specks..with the tools I can carry.

[@mothereartha7]

So that’s how it gets into th streams and rivers, quartz gets exposed, breaks down, gossan state ,,is that what gossan is, gets washed out in a flood of rain , down the hill into the creek.

[@StereoSpace]

The white material almost looks like kaolinite.

[@123Goldhunter11]

Lots of fun - just don't quit your day job.

[@usoewin2862]

that looks like ore you should have it assayed

I want gold recovery course Please help me

[@StevenMartin8000]

Does anyone else feel almost literal pain from anticipation during the last bit of the panning process?

[@911mining]

Yes on my hands the water was cold....

[@StevenMartin8000]

@@911mining Lol. That too, but when I pan I get too excited and end up rushing the pan.

[@davidrussell8795]

Your manual crusher is 0k but your plunger needs to be upgraded to a 4 foot 2" pounding round bar,with one end ground off at a 60° angle,makes a great pry bar! I had welding shop make me one for 80 bux,and I said make the foot wide cuz, I've got big feet,so he did,and he even threw in the bar! I will say lugging a heavy bar around can be tiresome. You could also have 4 feet of steel tube with a 1 foot long 2 inch round bar welded to it. I also used my bar as rock detector for area of ground covered in moss,just thump the ground,if it pings,you've hit hard rock,or use a metal detector after that!

[@davidrussell8795]

Also a longer rod prevents backaches,suposedly!

All the gold is in that mud he's throwing out of his pan

Ok a few specs doesn'ean it is going to follow her hypotheses on your several pans and if so why are you. Asking for patrons for support.if anything you need to help people like myself who are trying to star up . not being a smart ass but need a little layman schooling . it would help us in the geological field of exploring.. Thank you kindly be safe..

Explain a little more layman's terms I m not a geologist so what is calco pirate and galeena and a fre other big term words which os gold basically q
