A Pan of Gold and A Parachute [ Refining Raw Gold Into 24K ]

[@danyrizk1203]

0:30 I was like "HE BETTER say this is a joke!" good vid

[@TroubledOnePaydirt]

Sreetips talks about that little explosion while pouring shot. He calls it a “steam explosion” and says it’s random. He loves when it happens though because it produces that dust and apparently it makes the refining process easier. 🤷‍♂️

[@delawarepro3539]

Insane / Spectacular / Fantastic! Yeah Buddy 🤘🪂

[@jennc8554]

Happy birthday sorry for your loss and that was badass✌️

[@LithicMetals]

I had a great birthday, thanks! There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss my old buddy Reese, he was an amazing person. Thanks for watching Jenn!!

[@goldsilverjunkie]

All right, finally a face reveal😂 now we have to just wait for Yankee😂

[@RobFindsTreasure]

The fact that your work and your videos are so high quality and you don’t have more subs is beyond me. I’d love to send you some nuggets to melt when your schedule permits. Great work as usual brother!

[@LithicMetals]

The algorithm just doesn't like me lol. You can reach me at [e-mail] anytime Rob! Thanks for the support!!

[@SomervilleBob]

Nice work!

[@LithicMetals]

Thanks Bob!

[@chrisp9975]

Very cool, love all your videos Jeff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LithicMetals]

Thanks so much for watching Chris! I appreciate you!!

[@marlonparsons634]

Hey it’s Chris from the goldbugs group. Good to see a fellow group member who watches the videos as well.

[@chrisp9975]

@@marlonparsons634 I love Jeff’s videos, and Sreetips,the whole refining and smelting process fascinate me , I would love to have their jobs

[@marlonparsons634]

Same here I watch sreetips as well.

[@OnsloVest]

Great vid! Good on ya for the jump, your pal would be proud

[@LithicMetals]

Thanks so much 😁

[@arnedalbakk6315]

Hello Jeff. What a Great thing you did to remember your friend🙏. Thank you fore this fine video clip. The way you handle gold, almost bringes tears to my eyes💞. Have a Great weekend, and my god bless you, and the famely. Big smile from Norway 😊

[@LithicMetals]

Thanks Arne, it was so fun. I plan to do it again in a next month! I'm glad you are enjoying my vids, it's great to hear!! 😁

[@sparkleflair]

Very cool video! I didn't know it was that labor intensive to refine gold. I just figured you melt the flakes, dust, whatever, and pour it into a mold! I learned something new today! Oh and fun to sky-dive!! I'd love to do that myself :)

[@LithicMetals]

I'm glad you learned something new, that's always a good feeling! I def recommend taking the big dive. It is an amazing experience!

[@TroubledOnePaydirt]

No way could I ever purposefully jump out of a perfectly good airplane. That thing would have to be plummeting to earth for me to even consider jumping. Honestly, I’d probably convince myself to ride it out, I don’t think I could jump even if my life depended on it. I respect it tho. Cojones Grandes my bruddah. GRRANNNDDEESSSSS!! 😂😂😂

[@hi-seas]

That was awesome Jeff!! I really liked your opening with the gold in the pan!! Thanks for sharing!

[@LithicMetals]

Glad ya liked it Derek! Thanks!!

[@johnsonof1eye]

Thanks for the video. I'm a fairly new subscriber and love your attention to detail especially on the marking of the pieces. Also, Happy Birthday your crazy to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

[@LithicMetals]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch it! And thanks for subscribing!! I'm glad you enjoy my work, it's great to hear. Lol I thought it be fun... but it was way better than I even imagined. I can't wait to jump again!

[@nathanhostetler2558]

I think it's time to get certified for skydiving. Awesome video! Loved it.

[@LithicMetals]

You may be right Nathan! It sounds like a great way to spend next summer. Thanks for checking out the vid, glad you enjoyed it. And thanks again for helping me with the footage!

[@wickedhenderson4497]

Really enjoying your videos. Would you consider putting the chemical equations on screen or possibly writing them up in between scenes? You might have a video covering that information that I just haven’t found yet. Thanks a million

[@ronniewebb2979]

Love the video.. Question thow, how come you didn't use any Sulfuric Acid to drop out any Lead that might have been in the Gold ?

[@LithicMetals]

Glad you enjoyed it Ronnie! Great question too. Rest assured, I did indeed add Sulfuric acid to the solution. Apparently it just didn't make the cut. It's difficult sometimes to get all the details when combing through so many hours of footage.

[@VendettaProspecting]

the bomb pour was from too much borax brother

[@LithicMetals]

Indeed. Lesson learned on that one... yikes!

[@CraigMacdonaldAeon]

I was a little surprised you didn't add a bit of H2SO4 to precipitate out any lead, seeing as it was "wild" gold.

[@LithicMetals]

Rest assured I did. I sometimes don't catch everything in the editing process. I'll get better at this stuff! Thanks for watching!! 😁

[@papercuts777]

jeffs been on the ground for less than 60 seconds after the jump and its " alright, back to the lab" the mans dedicated, i said the mas dedicated.

[@johntherrian5365]

You in Michigan?

[@LithicMetals]

Wisconsin!

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

Inquarting explosion. I suspect the gold had a very small piece of matrix quartz still attached.

[@mattvogt5100]

Great content as usual! I know Reese was with you during that jump!

[@LithicMetals]

Thanks Matt! Whenever I'm nervous or have doubts in myself, I still hear his encouraging support in my ears. I know he still inspires many people everyday! Thanks for watching bro!

[@marlonparsons634]

Seeing you go skydiving was So inspirational now I HAVE to go. that was an adrenaline Packed ride with lots of smiles. As always jeff much love and respect to you and the family.

[@LithicMetals]

Thanks Marlon! Back at ya!! Heck yeah, you have to do it! It's something that is too amazing to miss out on.

[@SouthernSilverMomma]

You over heated the metal. It will do that and turn the metal into sand like material.

[@LithicMetals]

Overheated it? I'm not quite sure what you mean?

[@SouthernSilverMomma]

The explosions are usually caused by trapping water inside the molten metal which then boils and cause the shot to explode. Several other channels have had this happen and they can explain it better. I'm just a newbie lol.

[@MichaelFerrell-pq1kn]

Man that shot pour was so weird. I've never seen that happen before. If you find out a good theory please inform us

[@LithicMetals]

The only thing I can think of is that the borax caused that reaction.

[@josephpecoul6532]

I saw it in a Sreetips video the way he explained it was you have a certain amount of heat on the metal as you start the poor as you pour you have less metal but the same amount of heat you get that metal really hot poured it into the and it created a steam explosion and it obliterated the metal that's what I got out of it

[@michaelbraga9620]

The explosion was a steam explosion. Moisture trapped in the alloy exploded from rapid cooling and contraction of the metal
