Gold Mining, Detecting, Melting Gold in Potato and selling the Gold

After my record gold find we start scraping the surface with the machine in the hope to uncover more big gold specimen. This way of gold mining is very popular in Western Australia and can reveal big surprises.
Before I drive to Perth to sell the gold we melt the gold in a potato.

Good to see you enjoyed the melting of the gold in the potato, I'll make sure to use this method for smelting the fines after crushing. Thanks for dropping in guys!

[@billunderwood8975]

That was educational as well as entertaining ... You know what they say ... Necessity is the Mother of invention ...

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Awesome video and information

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Another great video and finding the gold was so refreshing and rewarding Krissy. 11 ozs equals 20,000 dollars give or take a few dollars

[@stevemacdaddy9909]

Great video. Your climate is so red and dry. Ive watched other videos of prospecting in Australia. I live in lush green mountains of NW Montana and lots of water. Dry mining and panning is a lot different. Good luck with your gold hunting adventure.

[@Chris_Harris]

This is late information but those cottin masks aren't work crap. Proper level 2 surgical masks sort of like the one you had are the starting point all the way up to N95. Hope you didn't get sick! :(

[@thisisbeyondajoke6748]

I lived in Mandurah for five years in the 2000s as a bricklayer with no labourers my wife helped me one day during summer she swallowed a fly on the job and about 5 hours later down the pub her first gulp of beer a fly came out of her mouth dead.15 years later we still laugh about it.

[@markhepworth7822]

[@Blessings.429]

I am in Pinjarra so at least 1 every year I catch a fly so know her discomfort….

[@garyhughes4326]

Every single time without exception that I watch your clips Krissy I learn something new. Yours is the most informative show in this genre that I watch. Congratulations on your recent big find. You deserve it for all the hard work that you put in. Greetings from the East Coast (Newcastle).

[@MotorJeffries]

Yes!! All goodness and rewards to you for all your hard work, Krissy!

[@jasonpos1537]

Love your videos, you are so dedicated to your craft. Love your work ethic as you are an inspiration.

[@The_Slippery_Slope_NZ]

YES! The episode I've been waiting for, keep up the fantastic work Krissy loving the videos!!

[@deonhavenga6197]

I agree with you, that nothing beats living out in the bush, and small towns. You have persevered and finally made it happen, and who knows what awaits you on your next adventure. All the best for you and can't wait to see your next video 👍🏻

[@roberthogan5154]

What an Action-Packed video we got this week. The Willy Willy was something else to see you chasing your cover. Great to see you detecting, digging and smelting the gold with the enthusiasm you always have. From the sounds of it you are quite happy to part with the gold for your new setup to sleep in and live, so it cannot be too much of a loss. Happy hunting out there Krissy and as always take care and see you next time for more great content. May the Gold Gods shine on you. xx

[@GSProspecting]

that's how to get it done fam. keep on living the dream. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

[@mattbrown7483]

Awesome Krissy, and I learned something new today. I didn't know you could melt gold in a potato. The purity of the gold was excellent. Enjoy your new little home, looking forward to the tour.

[@rogerdavies6226]

Back in the gold rush days in California they would a smelting compound in the potato and throw in the cook fire. They would them break open the potato get the gold and eat the potato. Many a miner died that way.

[@wadefreeman7340]

lol big joke, metal vs vegetable

[@michaelpacnw2419]

@@rogerdavies6226 The old timers were smarter than that. They used mercury in those potatoes... Which had been known to make you "mad as a hatter" since the 1500s.

[@sionetohale7727]

Loved this video Krissy, things you can do with a spud, smelt gold in it, wow, absolutely amazing, glad you didn't swallow the fly, cannot wait for the next chapter 😀 stay safe

[@elizabethlittler4472]

You are so inspiring. Watching your videos is a late night blessing. All the love in the world to you.

[@brucevanderzanden9638]

Great video Krissy. Was finally able to watch this one. Already looking forward to your next video!

[@patdenney7046]

Give that ground you Scraped sometime and yourself and then you will be surprised what you missed in all the excitement and also the ground seems to stabilize . And go over it at night seems to be quiet , you’re more focused on your hearing, less noise from the sun. If you start getting out of focus take 10 deep breaths. It’s the key to all meditation. If you don’t make it to 10 it’s working!

[@outbackyank6122]

Truth

[@robertsnowdon6932]

Well done Krissy, looking forward to the next episode as usual and loved the potato trick.

[@kevinstamford4954]

Well done krissy you deserve it for all your hard work from the uk

[@idaho2ndgens240]

That was the coolest video!. Very informative on the whole process for someone like me who knows little about how it works. I appreciate you sharing the find with us here in the US. Take care out there and stay safe.

[@gazooedphil8294]

I have never prospected for gold, however I enjoy watching the hunt and your videos are the only ones so far that leave me feeling happy. Happy hunting Krissy!

[@maniepotgieter1629]

Awesome, you're taking it to the next level

[@mikewheaton8723]

Love watching you out gold detecting. It’s always a treasure hunt . Hello from New York

[@josiahjohnson2515]

Hello, really enjoying your videos. It takes a special person to do what you do. The heat and flies alone I'm sure would drive me nuts, thanks for bringing the Australian wilderness to Canada :)

[@gregshort6587]

My lord that is so good Chrssy, well done, i get to watch your vidoes when I get back from work as an interstate truck driver, love your finds as I am a keen prospector myself. keep going.

[@terry8728]

Congratulations Krissy, and another great video! 👍🙂

I have never in my life seen a potato crucible... lol

[@alexbrown7786]

Grand, nice to see you back out there and digging away, stay well stay safe.

[@patfromamboy]

When I first saw the potato I thought you were making dinner because you said you were going to cook. I love your videos. Greetings from Yacolt Washington near the volcano Mt. St. Helens.

[@teresajames2725]

This was a fun learning experience. Looking forward to the next video. 🤩

[@gavinmcdonald2585]

Wow that was a great gold pocket... the gold gods were shining on you with more to come ... can't wait to see your new digs so your glamping now👍 You are such an inspiration

[@SubculturalMoKa]

now that was really a good video Krissy!

[@Pimmie37]

Fantastic video ... gratz on the finds

[@ut000bs]

I gotta say this is a hell of a video, Krissy. Awesome job. Now I also have to say that you are the first person I've ever seen use a potato to smelt gold. I first heard that back when I was a student and one of the guys said him and his father did it. Five-star video in my opinion. Topping 23k in a potato. 🤯 Most excellent.

[@douglasmckee754]

Big Gold Appears when your least Expect it. Awesome Video Krissy

[@rainbowstar6264]

No.6 watching from Brisbane:)))

Great work, very entertaining for a detectorist here in the USA. Love to make the trip someday and explore that region, breathtaking views and colorful area. Congratulations on your new home front, be safe.

[@lampertmorton8068]

just started watching .love it hope you find another big haul soon krissy looking forward to the next one

[@Scalihoo]

I never would've thought you could melt gold into buttons in a potato, sort of gives a whole new meaning to golden french fries 🍟

[@petehayes8779]

Just when you think that you have seen it all and then "Oh no that's my detector bag in the dust devil!" Too funny. Thanks for including that in your video.

[@owendavies5565]

Excellent Krissy. You're going forward now for sure. I bet the new home is perfect.

Congratulations on your new home. Looking forward to the tour inside. I've heard about the potato trick never seen it done thank you. I hope you have more good finds.

[@lianeisme]

Excellent video, I loved it thankyou xx

[@nickvie71]

Always a highlight on sundays for me, having brunch and watching your latest adventures. The "bush technology" with the potato as a melting pot was just awesome. Made me laugh out loud but it works pretty well :) Wondering what you use out there for larger amounts? Melons? Pumpkins? 🤣 Stay safe and enjoy your new cozy home on wheels. Cheers from Vienna!

[@davemi00]

Another very exciting vid. Krissy And learning how to bake perfect golden potatoes, too ! 😎

[@cantbeatatrumpet2101]

So happy for you all good people.....

[@TisButAScratch666]

Great video Krissy!

[@stevecasvan5225]

The potato would catch the Mercury and they would crumble it and pan it off and use it again. Another little trick is to use a stick to stir the gold when it's liquid and pour it when it's still liquid. This will give you nice beads of gold and very little slag. I've done it lots of times. I worked for a jeweler who had a large jar of sweepings from the bench and he used to send it in to the refiner. I took that jar and panned it out and was able to get over 90 g of beads that tested at 14 karat. He got a much much better return on that product then he would have by just sending in the entire jar. Keep up the good work!

[@davidraines1380]

Dang Krissy now that was a great find. I’m so happy for you. All that hard work paid off.

[@waynearmstrong4757]

That was definitely some hard earned money, and quite a bit of running around to get it all sorted, hope the next good find is just around the corner, all the best Krissy!

[@nigelaubrey7743]

Great result. So happy for you. You'll certainly be more comfortable in the bush now

[@DazGeary]

Great vid. spud smelting, brilliant! Thanks for showing the gold selling too, that is something I never seen a prospector show on YT before. I've aways wondered how they do the purity test. Nice and fast result too.

[@brentevje5939]

Thanks for sharing your great find.Wishing you even better luck. Sure hope the flies start to thin out.

Wow Krissy 😍lot of gold 😍and you are strong💪🏻take care❤️stay safe

[@stevecasvan5225]

I live in the middle of the California motherlode. The old timersis used to use mercury to catch the fine gold and would use a half of a potato in a pan as a retort.
