Gold Rings from Dirt - The Dirty Part

[@moderngoldsmith]

Your determination has set us up for an amazing part 2 video next week!

[@Gridlessness]

Part 2 - The Shiny Part…. With Modern Goldsmith…. Can’t wait!

[@jonathanbaker7756]

It's time to contact Cody's lab

[@joesguiltyguitar]

@@Gridlessness it was sad when you said it wasn't cracking and I could see that it was cracking lol maybe if you used heated oil instead of water to cool it off .. but should it even been cooled at all ?? I don't know but I'm sure you all will show us how it's really done really soon I hope 🙂 merry Christmas and may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and yours Amen

I live in an area that was mined a lot during the gold rush and panning was a great hobby. When I was in school for dental lab I would catch a scorpion and kill it with either and sprue it. I used lacquer hair spray and would pose it then put in in a tall crucible and pour the dental plaster in it. From there it was the process of using the burn out oven then casting it using my pure placer gold. You could see every hair and fiber of the critter after polishing. I left the sprue on it as a stand until after polishing. I also made rings but would toss in old gold bands with my placer gold.

[@davidtrammell4453]

That is so cool , it looked like Hollywood special effects , when you added the silver and copper.

[@frozenpann]

WOW! Keep living the dream people. Jeff...brilliant man, don't change a thing. Your bride is your savior. As a dad myself, I've raised my kids to be independent, think for themselves, care about their environment and be aware of what's available to them. Rose...we all know you are the solid, hard working beauty behind all of it, stay strong. 99% of the wives in the world could only dream to have the satisfying lifestyle afforded to you. Top shelf are you! I can't say enough young lady. Girls... your parents stepped out of the norm in faith to help make you be the best you could be. It's been an absolute pleasure watching your growth. You have an opportunity to be anything you choose. Be blessed, safe and enjoy each day. A very Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you all for sticking it out and providing us with a glimpse of your lives.

[@ЮрийТерминатор-щ7х]

Thanks. It was very nice to watch you all. You are such a wonderful family!!!! I wish you all good health and the happiest new year!!!!

[@rickholloway5218]

Glad you're not giving up after the first try. Ready to see what happens the next time around! Merry Christmas!

[@buffalokrisgoldprospecting]

Right on guys. Sucks that the gold didn't turn out correctly. No worries though u can still fix it. You guys have a pretty good spot u were highbanking.. love the gridlessness family. Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone

[@GrandmaBeth2dogs]

One ring to rules them all, going to get some chip dip drinks hanging out till the 24th. 🥰🤠✌

[@EmerickKing-j4o]

You're a very good family. When I first saw your videos, I thought they were very awesome. ❤ take care.

[@davidtrammell4453]

You guys are such a close family it's inspiring. Merry Christmas !

[@dustinpaul8968]

Love the perseverance! Can’t wait to see the rings .

[@SkeleSquatch51]

It inspires me to see your family's determination to accomplish something so exciting together.

Try to not get a flashback of the flame straight into the nozzle because the nozzle melts at around 1200°C but the flame is 2800-3100°C itself. This is the single event that destroys these nozzles the fastest. Still, I envy your living. I lived in Maple Ridge (Van, BC) for a year in 2010 and I've always wanted to move back, love it there.

[@ryansoo4000]

I stumbled across your channel the other day and just finished watching your video on your micro-hydro system. Could you do a video showing the way you designed and built the water catchment basin, the inlet and pipe layout (type of pipe, depth installed, etc) and how you designed and built the pump house and water discharge system after it's gone through the turbine? Do you use that same water for drinking and if so, how do you clean/sanitize it?

[@mongkolsomkid6831]

Very nice prize for the girls 's hard work. Merry Christmas

[@kevchard5214]

In the immortal words of the great Pioneer Pauly "lots of fly poop" you must be on the Fraser river.

Merry Christmas to you and Yours !! 👍 ! Keep Digging Brother !!

[@Salty-f3e]

Hi Use clay or sand Make your own mould I.e. press and existing ring as per the size required into the clay and cast the "liquid gold " Then just hammer of file and buff the ring to finish it the mould

[@jwcinc12]

See if you can talk Mount Baker Mining and Metal company, purifying that gold is doable. Friend to Dan Hurd and close to my area of WA state.

[@Gardeningchristine]

I love the can do attitude! Good example of how to live properly. Try, always try.

[@jdhstudiosjdhstudios1153]

Man this makes me want to have a small vial of Yukon gold for my collection as well as sell some to people I know. Now 1 thing I can offer is if you find any garnets or gemstones in general; I can always facet some for you. I’m still working on my business; but I need more customer experience and to get myself use to a work flow. It’s been slow; but I’m getting there

[@martykitson3442]

as I watched this on what y'all call boxing day hope you had a nice Christmas, My only experience with smelting is lead wheel weights for fishing weights and Black powder musket balls even that can have its hurdles, i eventually learned how to do it keep trying and have fun👍👍👍

[@emilyjayne77]

Merry Christmas to you all 🎉

[@ronaldshort9819]

happy holidays to all of you from SoCal!! love your lifestyle 👍

[@michaelpetremetre5130]

Thank you for sharing this video sir God bless

[@TobiasDieterich-vk6ce]

I am pretty sure the gold you had contained other elements like nickel, lead, platinum etc. depending on the mix it will make the gold brittle. You should first refine the gold to 24k with aqua regia or poor mans nitric acid. Once you got rid of the additional elements that way, you will be successful in rolling it out without cracking. Also you need to heat the alloy every so often between rolling, so as to relax the built up microcracks when rolling it out. Watch youtube videos how they make jewelry...they regularly get the gold / silver to red hot to soften it again. Each rolling makes it harder / more brittle

[@davypeugeot]

Wow awesome guys ......

[@AU-Hunt]

That was great 😁 Have a Merry Christmas guys !!

[@العربيالعراقي-ح7ل]

عائلة جميلة جدا ..ربي يحفضكم جميعا وتحياتي وحترامي لكم

[@Top10GameplayTrailers]

I love you guys!!!

[@jackiecrouthamel3237]

I'm not a smelting expert, but some of the other vids I've watched, placer gold has to be refined to get 999 purity and that involves the use of chemicals. Please correct me if i'm wrong. That would explain the gold you had

[@timtv2826]

I'm glad you didn't burn up the calculations paper with the torch or was that just the kid's homework, Lol. Such a great family. Merry Christmas

[@joanneganon7157]

I'm so sorry Jeff I know you had your heart set for ur Rings 🥴. I'm keep forgetting to tell you that my Friend got me a new wooden spoon! I wish you All a Merry Christmas 🎀🎄☃️ JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️

[@miguelpertierra9407]

thumbs up done 👍👍 california

[@perryknetter8577]

Great Job gang 👏

[@ReighnProspecting]

In world War 2 men took solid silver or gold coins and would beat the edges with a spoon while in the trenches and the edge would flatten like a ring. They would file out the middle to fit their finger and boom you got a ring. Its called trench art, my grandpa does it

[@robertwilliams-wd6cp]

I wish our family got along as good as yours, or are you hiding footage ? Love your videos !

[@coreyvandyke528]

Now you're going to have to follow the doggie around with the high banker for three or four days yeah

[@Joestar275]

10:41 Is it possible that copper wire is alloy itself? So your 18k gold alloy become more strength than it supposed to be?

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

You all should mint some coins with a big G on one side and a pine tree on the other side. I wonder if you could get a tool and dye company to forge you a coin stamp. If you could, you could really make it fancy.

[@peezdoc]

Should of made sure the original gold was 24k. I think I heard the Fraser River gold is like 18-22k purity. Might wanna look into that....

[@CplSkiUSMC]

Learning is a process, it doesn't happen all at once.

[@russhay422]

It’s definitely exciting to literally pull money out of the dirt. Hopefully the value more than offsets the investment. The experience itself is just a bonus. 👍

[@johnthomas5806]

those close'ups..kind of what Dan Hurd does to make it look like a lot of gold....lol

[@xibidit]

codys lab can fix it for you, best guy i know

[@monicareid8858]

He who smelt it dealt it (hahaha). Oi!-bad pun. I’m a jeweler whose been in the business over 20 years. I’ve poured and milled countless gold pieces (rings, bracelets, pendants, etc). Anyway-Stuller and Hoover & Strong are excellent jeweler resources that might send you professional alloy mixes to add to your pure gold to make ROLLING GOLD-(not CASTING GOLD.) ROLLING GOLD is a different alloy mix designed to make metal more malleable for rolling out with a rolling mill to compress and stretch better. THIS is what YOU NEED to mix to mill your rings. CASTING gold is designed to take to a lost wax mold better, but it will crack and split under compression like the gold did when your goldsmith worked with it. It’s AWFUL to work with!!! I know-I’ve worked with both as I hand mill pieces and do finishing work at a store that casts custom pieces we 3-D design. Also, mixing pieces of copper and silver you’ve bought that wasn’t specifically made for alloy blending may have other impurities (even if it claims it doesn’t) that might adversely effect your alloy mix. Please contact Stuller and ask them for access to materials and insight on what you need. Heck-on your trip take a tour. I’ve always wanted to You may need to set up an account with them, but even if you can’t (they have strict requirements) you can find a jeweler that already has an account that is willing to help you. (raising a hand, shyly) If you ever make it to Central NY, look up Cunningham Custom Jewelry and ask for me. If you like, you can camp out on my land and see the sights, and I can teach you how to make your own rings with your own gold. I taught jewelry classes for four years, and taught private students. You and your gals can DEFINITELY do this. I’ll even teach you remotely, if you like, but you’ll need a few tools (always fun to get new tools!!!). Rio Grande or Geswin are great sources. Best!!!

[@danvandertorre]

this looks like the sunny Okanagan to me.

[@afishingmagician]

Are you going to make the one ring? You know, the one ring to rule them all?

[@frozenpann]

Lol. You should make a golden hook!

[@richardaz2084]

you guys are getting super rich

[@kpattenvan]

You're the Lords of the rings!!!!!!!!

[@jonathanrighetti5897]

the mat your using is for larger gold, I would think you would collect more with a tighter mat

Wow Deadly brothers and sisters

[@carlgodfrey2974]

I like to save my black sand. When i have enough i will make my first Iron brick. But the gold is the best part.

[@melchorkaamino208]

nice, beautiful super Precious is like the fat version of Broke Shields in Blue Lagoon and Julia too we'll hunt together and plant corn together 🤔

[@sonofeloah]

That black is iron. One can melt it and cast it into something. As for the copper. When it is heated, it begins to oxide and the further heating turns the oxide into a gas that burns green. And the more you heat it, the more oxide that turns into a gas that burns and so you literally burned the copper away. It went up in green flame/smoke. So, nest we get to see if you will turn the pure gold into 18 K, ok?

[@lindomarchagas1877]

Oba vídeo desta família linda, que trabalho duro para conseguir 9gramas de ouro .Eu desejo de coração que vocês tenham um ótimo Natal e um próspero ano Novo. 🙋‍♂️🇧🇷🌲

[@renanjacob6791]

Use potassium nitrate in melted Gold to clean It

[@user-ee4jy5pp7m]

Man, this is going to get lost waaaay down in the feed. I don't get notifications.

[@SasquatchBioacoustic]

Could the problem with that gold be due to your use of sterling silver, and not pure silver?

[@Gridlessness]

That was not the problem. The sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, so as long as you take that into account when you alloy, it is just fine.

[@Охотникзаудачей-к7н]

[@josiasteles287]

Não entendo nada do que vcs falam, mas gosto dos teus vídeos

[@analui9788]

gold mmmmm

[@joesguiltyguitar]

Gold

[@TimothyNorfolk]

Why did you add copper and silver…Isn’t that why the gold was brittle

[@PreciousRubi]

I’m going to guess your gold had impurities in it. Perhaps the black sand. It should be refined. Maybe your jeweller guy should alloy the gold for you. Your silver should be .999 not .925. New crucibles need to be prepared with borax so the metal doesn’t stick to it.

[@Gardeningchristine]

Ok I’m confused. Just Rose and the girls get rings? Are you getting one too?

[@southernrelics]

Hammered gold! 😂

[@lorenzoacquaviva3598]

Buone feste a voi tutti

[@kennethkeen1234]

Brilliant video, you really did it! I am amazed and so happy for you. Can I order a ring already? Happy Christmas to you all from Europe. 2022 12 25 16:13

[@simplelifehomestead5626]

As a jeweler you had the heat on the gold to hot and for to long. Total A plus’s for effort.

[@wd9dau]

The problem when making the 18 carat was that the smelted gold was not 24 carat. You need to refine it to get 24 carat. Look at the KZbin channel SREETIPS and see if he would be willing to make 18 carat for you.

[@justthetipgaming1720]

he wont do anything with other ppls gold but the refining steps are simple plus only add one metal as anymore can cause the grain to become to large and cause the metal to break

⁉✨🇨🇳✨Chine copper quality from electric wire or plumbing stuff is surly not good... Gold fusion 1064°C Silver fusion 962°C Copper fusion 1 085 °C Maybe if you brun to high you brun some and loose some %... And perhaps the combustion of certain metals due to too much heat, creates residues and which dirty the final alloy and defeats its integrity... 😉🌱
