600 POUNDS of ore jackhammered right out of the mine! This simple gold recovery method can be used by anyone to recover free milling gold from rock. We are essentially doing 2, 300lb fire assay to quantitate the real-world values from this here gold mine.
How much gold will we recover smelting gold ore!?

Nice job. I'm a retired professional miner. I worked from drilling and blasting, both underground and pit, to set-up and operation of the mill all the way to the smelting and then refining areas. The last mine i worked at here in AZ we just crushed and smelted. High copper and i used the copper that was in the ore as a collector. Took 2 of us to man handle the crucible. The furnace sounded like a 747 taking off. Keep it up, your doing a pretty good job.Love the intensity and the drama and your editing is absolutely superb.

I like watching your videos to learn about smelting, I don't know much about. So let me tell you about an old minesite. I found a bunch of ore that had been ran through a stamp mill years ago. They left it there either because low grade or the war. But it was extremely difficult to separate the fine gold. So I screened it down through window screen size. Then made a recirculater at the end I added thick felt and fanned that part outwards. The felt caught a large majority of the gold. Panned out the cons then ran what I couldn't pan out through a tumbler with mercury which caught guessing 95% of the gold I couldn't pan. I did this process with I think 8 buckets full of material from the old mill. I ended up with a little less than 2oz of gold! It was alot of work, I went back up there to get more ore and someone noticed I was digging up the old sump material. So they dug out the rest! But still more upwards toward where the stamp mill was mounted. They poured concrete and had troughs made funneling the material into the sumps! But the trough is full of old boards and wooden fibers making it difficult to work with. A learning experience for sure! Good luck with your mine!
@ColoradoGoldCamp
@ColoradoGoldCamp 2 жыл бұрын
Wow, that sounds like a fantastic experience Pat, thanks for sharing! The concrete trough funneling the crushed ore is likely loaded with coarser gold, especially if it has any sort of obstructions in it. Very cool n Best of Luck out there!
@patdexter9188
@patdexter9188 2 жыл бұрын
One of these days I'm going take my wet dry vac and clean the whole thing out. Who knows whats in the trough under all the wood next to where the stamp mill was. I found chunks of leather and an old corn cob pipe in the sump, when it started to dry it just fell apart! Squeezing out excess mercury using pieces of leather is my guess. In the late 1800's towns sprang up all over, with schools, post office and bars then just die out after a few years. Some places you can't tell a town ever existed there. They would dismantle the mill and haul it to another location. Good luck!

Coker Creek and the Tellico River are the best known areas for gold prospecting. I would start research that area. The placer gold had to come from the surrounding hills and upstream.

I would like to use small clips of your channel edited and I add some fun facts and get kids to understand what's happening in your videos about smelting. I would love to collaborate if your would like to make an impact in some kids lives please reach out. Thanks for making great videos!

Size makes a big difference in cost. You can build a larger furnace for less or buy one this size for $250-650. All said and done, I would say minimum $1,200 for a full kit. That includes cupelling furnace + fluxes etc
