Gas-Powered Mobile Hammer Mill for High Recovery Gold Mining in Remote Areas

[@baTonkaTruck]

I’m not a miner at all just really enjoy your videos. Wanted to say how cool I think it is that you mix content for entertainment with promotion of your business, it really works. I genuinely want to get into prospecting now, testament to people like you, Dan Hurd, and Brian for Cerro Gordo.

[@heyfindmenoob]

same, been watching this guy for years yet closest i have gotten to "mining" for gold is buying a gold pan and using it once lol

[@dawiebotes9124]

You should get a 12v grain/salt shaker and put in on the inlet on top to use it as an auto feeding mechanism. The Honda's stator should make enough juice to power it.

[@ironhorse7588]

Love the crushers. I could definitely put that to good use. Inquiry sent 👍

[@bfd1565]

I'm still looking forward in watching you process those tote bags of ore you had flown off the mountain side months ago. Is that video coming soon Jason?

[@alaskajon195]

Really appreciate the honesty in your review of your own equipment.

[@madman__]

Very nice system! 90%+ recovery is honestly more than I was expecting!

[@adammazza9219]

Jason you should set up this unit with wheels and a trailer hitch so you can pull it with an ATV and add bottle jacks for levelers :).... looks like i need to save my money now GEEZE cause now i want it lol

[@chrissmith-rw8ei]

Great video as always Jason, I especially like your longer vids where you go from crushing high grade ore all the way to smelting and show a nice big prill to cupel.

[@gregsmith1116]

I like the design of that hammer mill and sluce! Thanks Jason!

[@sirkriskringle]

For a small timer this set up this unit would fit right in 👍👍😁 . SKK .

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Great process walk-through, with facts! Thank you! Also, anything that pulls mercury out of unsafe practices is very welcome to all of us in the world! Safe material recovery speaks well for the future of mining globally

[@jaymuffinz]

Excellent post, this is literally what I’m looking for

[@Stevesbe]

You equipment looks top notch i enjoy all your videos keep up the good work

[@jbowerman50]

Nice design Jason! Not only portable & effective, but its more quiet than you would expect!

[@100GTAGUY]

Honda has some really quiet generators/powerplants for sure. There got ones you can stand right next to running full tilt and you can't even hear em aside from a slight hum.

[@Sugarkraft]

Thanks! Your videos are excellent.

[@mbmmllc]

Thank you so much!

[@frantiseklaluch6605]

What a neat puppy... You realy think about your customers...

[@markbrown6236]

Wish all infomercials were that good to watch. Hope you sell a bunch of those.

[@5in1killa]

I like how thorough you are.

[@davidoconn9352]

Thanks Jason I think this one is a winner!

[@MADDLADO1]

Nice job Jason, it's perfect

[@freddking4389]

This is a great video Jason. Well, they all are great but enjoyed the job that machine can do in the wild. Nice job.

[@jeromepavlick6283]

Thanks this was very informative and I can see how valuable this would be to a small field operation.

[@adventureswithgoat719]

That is AUESOME Jason. I really like the mobility of this unit

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Fantastic little system! Thanks Jason 🙏

[@josephcormier5974]

This is the best thing about your channel the product you pitch is your own and it's very cool this one looks to be really good thank you for sharing this six stars

[@rayarthur586]

So if I had waited till the end I would have had my answer. Thanks Jason

[@jonathanbeck6663]

I would love to see some videos of this equipment in the field this summer. Keep up the great work 👍

[@jeffashton3352]

I am thinking a dream mat micro in the top third may have caught the 325 minus well. Absolutely grateful for your work. Hope to some day bpurchase some equipment from you

[@ethanwilson1001]

Great videos! I saw some leakage out the bottom of the front of the sluice that you can see some washings collecting on the ground @4:41. Given this was right before the wash hit the collector sluices, it may be worth collecting it and making sure it was run through the sluice, and also look into what was causing the leakage. Just a thought. Peace!

[@Robert-ys9zy]

That is a real functional piece of equipment. I like it!

[@rockman531]

Hi Jason, BIG thumbs up! Awesome video - as always! Great little machine! Thinking out loud - you might consider offering a slightly longer sluice box to customers that know they're going to have finer gold to process??? Take Care, Jim

[@MrJayrodge]

That little plant is SO COOL!

[@Jack-yy6th]

What an awesome set up!

[@jeffreywhitmoyer860]

Have you ever thought about using Whatman Ashless Filter Paper instead of shop towels for filtering out your material and subsequent burn-off? I think it might be more efficient and possibly less expensive overall. A No. 42 at 4" Diameter or so should work for most cases. Fold it into quarters, stick it in a funnel and off you go.

[@dmorgan5010]

Hello Jason..this is a good one for sure

[@dmorgan5010]

Ya I see you have been expanding your area . Could use that machine to get started sampling

[@UtmostOutdoors]

Great presentation and very well thought out piece of equipment! I really like that pop'n'son style sluice for the fine flat gold I mine up in Alberta. Where did you source your backed moss if you don't mind my asking? I'd love to use stuff that's made in North America...

[@fhbbi]

Great demo, neighbor!

[@rfisher79]

Genius, Nicely Done Sir!!

[@jamisontaylor878]

Excellent video thank you!!!!

[@josephpecoul6532]

Thank you for sharing this video Jayson

[@ElectricPoliville]

Nice practical design.

[@bhs8732]

Great video/demo.. on my wishlist

[@jwcinc12]

It would be nice showing how it broke down and could be transported in a truck. I really liked this one today.

[@bigt3514]

Love what your doing man. Love the innovation. You could also include a sump tank and water pump that could run off the battery to recycle water. No need for a water source if you bring it with you. You could run material anywhere.

[@davewarrender2056]

Why not invest one of those huge poly tanks that farmers use. Put two valves in , out And in. Include a small gas pump to shove water back in.

[@scottwall8419]

I'd ditch the battery and go with a rechargeable solar generator setup. Many more recharge cycles and many other uses for the guy who is remote without power. Look up the Jackery or Bluetti setups. Worth the money for te versatility

[@Datzneat]

Armchair commenter here. Any downsides to putting together a water manifold so you can provide water to all the ports from one pump hose? Or am I thinking about this wrong? Also is there more gold in the second run partially because of the shaking motion releasing more gold that was clinging to the host rock pieces? Thinking that a longer sluice wouldn't really benefit if that's the case. Looks compact enough to run from the back of those tiny work trucks they have overseas.

[@baslinden373]

What a great machine! Makes me wanne buy it, but there are no gold deposits in my country ☹

[@jeffmckibbon5109]

Really like your videos because they were long enough with a lot of information but it seems like you’ve converted over to short videos one every now and then is refreshing but I would rather see the Lengthy video And not as many if you need more time to make them keep up the good work and thanks for Sharing

[@n8r8ts41]

I'm in the same boat, I don't prospect or mind, but I want to after watching you and Dan! Love the new machine! Might need to plug a little leak at the start of the moss!

[@dodgeit3014]

Great video as always.

[@jimmime]

Nice demonstration, Jason!

[@coyotelarry]

Perfect size for me, the serious hobbyist. Time to start saving for one...

[@AUMINER1]

Might be nice to re-run the same material a 2nd time through the hammermill and sluice, before the shaker table. see if the 2nd run liberates anymore gold or catches the fines after the blacksand is taken out.

[@VendettaProspecting]

Jason is this the one you developed back at your hard rock/truck mining videos?? ITS AWESOME!!!

[@timfitzpatrick2432]

Jason thanks for the informative videos as always 👍🏻 one day I would love to come work with you. Im not even a miner, but love learning new stuff.

[@hoodatman]

Great stuff but there's no way I'd be having that fuel tank so close to the motor! Yes I have worked in mining but not gold, only hobby prospecting with gold. I operated and maintained crushing plants, large stationary and transportable. I really like your videos.

[@darrenbooker8144]

Your equipment is so good Jason, I'm pondering whether your losing that tiny amount because one side to the sluice is straight and the other is 45 degree, you could see the uneven nature of the water velocity immediately entering the slice run.... I'm thinking, if you shifted the sluice left to even out the distribution of water flow directly onto the sluice run, I reckon it will capture even more... Just a little ideas critique... Do you ship out to Australia, that's a wicked little system👍🇦🇺👍

[@randym8963]

Awesome video Jason

[@SouthpawDavey]

Altering the fall in the sluice might help with the bit that got away. Great set up. Can not use them here in Switzerland.

[@Kadath_Gaming]

From what I have picked up following Dan Hurd, adjusting the angle of the sluice and lowering the flow rate would probably increase your percentage recovery of the very fine gold making a properly set up version super efficient 👍🏻

[@Kadath_Gaming]

And Jeff 'n Slim of course 😁

[@davidbwa]

Looks nice. Suggestion - it seems like maybe a small vertical end (1/2" or so) at the upper end of the sluice channel would prevent that water from dripping out. Or possibly a rubber dam insert. Likely not a problem for folks with constant water supply but could eliminate an unnecessary nuisance for folks with a recirc water setup. And just curious - why did you go back to lead instead of - um, Bismuth was it? Did you find a problem using bismuth or were you just out? Just wondering because in a previous video you mentioned not using lead any more.

[@theminerstable4790]

Interesting. The thought of adding water to the hammer mill for dust control just popped right up in that imaginative and creative head. How awesome ingenuity is....

[@davidmccleary5540]

This was worth watching. Thanks

[@sanfranciscobay]

What are some common objects that can be compared to how fine the crushing? For example, Rice, Sugar, Flour.

[@jerrodbeck1799]

If it’s made in the USA, I’ll buy it👍🏻

[@safeminingforum313]

Good work Jason 💯🙏🙏

[@5806781]

Besides miner moss, could use some experimenting with the many different mats out there on the market theses days.

[@HoodBillyLife]

Needs a Dreammat in it and then it will be perfect

[@RecalcitrantObserver]

Love the setup. Maybe better recovery with gold hog mats though.

[@amazingcolonelangus4535]

Remember to use Jet Dry mixed in your water to keep the fine gold from floating right out

[@alanmcclure9546]

Lotta Copper on that cleanout... Looks good!!! I want one for my Hells Canyon Claims.. I left a message on your phone.

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

You build the coolest toys. Someday...

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Nice lookin rig.

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

That would really work well at Jeff's mine. :-) Get that incline going to haul the ore out. Wayyy to long a climb to pack it out. Great machine you have there!

[@paulknight1879]

I loved watching this video it had so much information to learn from so fantastic work 👏 and amazing job 👏 😀 👍.

[@100GTAGUY]

Man speak of the devil. I was just inquiring about smaller scale equipment on one of your older shorts/full vids. And BOOM you drop this video.

[@angiedorsey297]

If I win this saw I would cut Utah snowflake obsidian. I have some beautiful pieces that would make beautiful jewelry.

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Jason, I suspect you are going to be swamped with orders for that small hammer mill. The fact that it can be carried in a pick up or mounted on a small trailer is going to draw in a lot of weekend prospectors. I would like to know if you are going to produce a small size Jaw crusher that will produce one half inch or smaller material with a gas or diesel engine. Thanks for a great video as well as the fine equipment. I hope we soon hear from Dan that he is going to purchase one of these great little processors.

[@stewartmorris7176]

Nice piece of kit.👍

[@RexSkittles]

Your equipment is amazing! Even just as amazing is the material you ran! Where’d you get it?! I want to run a couple tons of it!

[@markbottcher9623]

I thought it was a very good informative video. Thanx

[@richardrobertson1331]

Very interesting, as always. Ultra fine gold is my problem, as well. 40,000 pieces per ounce. Ouch.

[@brucesahroian1482]

Jason! Nice!!! Did you know that the Alaskan Bush People have a mining area on their property. They have found some archec (old) mining equipment to use but its not too good! Check it out if you have some time!

[@daz41262010]

great machine demo Jason :) nice amount of caught gold :)

[@markroper9269]

Cool video!! Sweet piece of gear!!

[@mclagett1043]

I love your videos! You're such a humble guy, but you're SO smart and versatile! I would LOVE to work for you! I currently live and work in Enterprise Oregon, just over the hill from where you often work. I'll try to reach out in your Email. Best wishes!

[@MegaSilverStacker]

Very nice compact streamline design. Joe probably would rather have this powered by a lithium battery though 😂 Good Stuff MBMMLLC👊

[@deplorable01]

Great video, I would like to purchase one, but first I have to move out of northeast pa…..very informative video….thanks

[@scruggsbuster9458]

❤❤ love to see that gold dust😊 like they say every bit counts😊 I just do it for the fun😊 go camping kickback cook stuff on the BBQ drink a few beers and who knows you may hit the motherload😅 that would be awesome videos thank you for the video I'm glad you got some gold out of it really nice little buttons❤❤😢😮😅

[@mrpreparedallthetime1099]

That looks like Pure American High-Grade Machinery there!

[@whatthefunction9140]

This mechine turns dirt into gold? Amazing!

[@alexejovicmueller2978]

Would be lovely to see this machine in action at Dan Hurds mine you're visited last time

[@kindnuguz]

Yes it did a great job at proving a point with the hammer mill setup. Is that Honda engine more or less the same as what Harbor Freight sales? If so that's another key point; if anything happens to that engine it is replaceable very easily. But seeing as this was more or less advertisement you did a great job at showing your product and making content on the same subjects you normally do. Thank you

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

Seems that indeed, over a larger volume the shaker table is the better recovery option, especially since it is continuous flow, on top of improved recovery. Since I am aiming mainly at recovering sulfides even more than precious metals, for me, the shaker table is clearly the way to go. [we don't even have gold where I am, and most of the silver is locked up in galena, therefore coming in as a sulfide] I would personally be geared up where I magnetically skim the magnetic iron first [because it is easier to use it in my steel crafting (both smithing and casting) this way] before sending the rest off to an oxygen rich roasting [to extract for sulfuric acid] and only then when it is all oxide, move over to the smelting for mid-level base metals and silver. I figure on getting 99% iron, .03% copper, .02% lead, .005% zinc, and .000125% zinc, the rest being microscopic specks of cobalt, alumina, cadmium, uranium, and titanium.

[@tinamitchell8735]

Nice work .

[@onemoreguyonline7878]

How well would this work with electronic gold recovery, like you've shown in the past with your other hammer mills?

[@dennishinkle5010]

It looks like a great system. How much does it weigh?👍

[@dawnjennings4864]

If I did any kind of mine, and I would buy one!

[@dawnjennings4864]

I don't believe you are mbmmllc. I will not be contacting you.

[@rfisher79]

Since you have an Axle on a Pillow Ball Bearing off the Sluice Side you could run a Trommel to Screen Off Larger Cons then Wash into the Sluice

[@zamistro]

I'd like to see you run some circuit boards through that little machine. Will the sluice catch just the gold and heavier stuff or ALL the metal?

[@NCC-1973]

I cannot wait for the family moves to Georgia from Maine so I can do some mining and whatnot. Nothing up here in northern Maine for gold.
