This is an interesting trick on how to get gold and other metals out of quartz rock here in Minnesota. Its free as long as you provide the quartz. It requires fire and panning!

Soooo, just a warning, if your samples have arsenopyrite in them this is a really bad idea. Arsenopyrite is arsenic iron sulfide and when you get it hot the arsenic can release in the air in deadly amounts. The amounts in this video are probably not an issue, but a larger scale could make for a very bad day.

WARNING! If you're goung to crush rocks, WEAR BREATHING PROTECTION! Silicosis is NOT a fun thing to get! Crushing or cutting rock is how you get it! And the main ingredient in quartz is - you guessed it - Silica! You really need to crush that stuff down to a super-fine powder, like talcum powder Cook the rocks first, like they used to do in Broadford, Victoria, Australia Where they had rock kilns actually built into the side of the roads for easier transport & loading As for the crishing, If you need to go super-cheap, an inverted star picket rammer and a star picket works reasonably well, it just takes a while and a lot of effort (look up fencing tools, you'll get what I'm talking about if they're called something different in your neck of the woods) A reasonably efficient 'el-cheapo' rock crusher, is a dolly pot and a battery operated hammer drill with a 'facing bit', is the easiest way to crush the rocks without losing any of the crush I've tried both - trust me, go with the hammer drill I'm making my own wheel-barrow mounted jaw crusher for this very reason, and planning on making a portable flail mill to get the stuff crushed finer But now you've got me thinking about a portable 'bush quartz kiln' Hmmm, I need another project to add to my list of crazy ideas 🤪🤔

I'm from New Brunswick Canada but live in Montreal and cannot go back because of Covid!!! But when I do go back i'm going back right on the coast, giant basalt cliffs with quartz veins galore. I have great quartz geodes, 1 to 12 inch fossils, amethyst, arrow heads, agates..... Gonna go collect some quartz and I may not post again because i've become rich too and have gone off to some island looking for lost treasures bare chested in my jean shorts! Cheers and Rawk on!

Youre right about the people in the Victorian Goldfields roasting quarts. And what they then did was pour water over the hot rocks to make them fracture. Roasting them served two purposes, not only did it make the rocks easier to crush but it also oxidised the sulfides and released the gold
@breckfreeride2 жыл бұрын
It would also bake the sulfides and unlock any gold in the pyrite

I like your idea of heating the rocks so they break up easy. I am out here in washington st. and have some pure white rocks that have a speck of gold here and there. I have a cast iron mortar and pestle that's good for small amounts. turn your pan around so the stuff hangs in the steps the next time.

I just use my homemade propane Foundry. I can get the quartz glowing red in a few minutes, then toss em in a metal bucket of water, then grind them in a handheld grinder flail mill that virtually powders them in just a few seconds. Its the way to go if you can wing it. Proccessing ore so quickly and easily that i had to build a large permanent sluice at home. My hobby quickly went from a hand pick and a few plastic pans- to multiple sluices, cleaning sluices, permanent construction in my back yard, and A LOT of 5 gallon buckets and large heavy totes all filled constantly😂

Try using a fence post driverand a sledgehammer top. Attach a coated wire cableto the opening in the sledgehammer long enough that you can drop the sledgehammer down to crush the quartz it will save time and you won't lose any of the material. Just dump into a bucket, and repeat. You may already know this but it could help someone else. You can take the rock crusher to the field with you. Good video anyways.

Great video, didn't know about heating them up. Hey, you want something way more valuable than any amount of gold? OK, here it is. "Always cut the limbs that are over you first on a fallen tree before you cut any part of the lower limbs. Reason is because even if there are more limbs on bottom that look like they are holding the tree up, it only takes removing one limb to alter the stability of the mass of the tree and make it roll over and if there are limbs above you they can hit with tremendous a force or even worse you think you are getting away fast enough from it rolling over you, but the limbs still on bottom counter lever the tree and act like a spring and make the tree jump real fast and land on you and now a limb stabs through you with the force of the whole weight of the tree. What are the chances? Well you hear about people getting hit and killed by trees all the time. Most people think you are walking down the street and out of the blue a tree falls on you when they hear about being killed by a tree. No, if that was so than no worries because that is incredibly rare to almost nonexistent...how many times have you seen a tree just fall down on its own in your lifetime? They get killed by a unexpected reaction to a action they introduced to a action at rest....yea or something like that, anyways remember that the safest tree to cut is a tree still standing because it only has one force effecting it...gravity. People don't realize that 90% of people killed by trees are trained professional tree cutters that make a small mistake or underestimate the situation by letting self reasoning overshadow logic of motion. I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything like that, if I was I would not of put in this much effort into typing all this. I say this because you look like a cool dude and make great videos and want to keep you around to make more.... Peace and love, later man.

Good way of making your quartz easier to crush. Just a suggestion for you as a cheap way of crushing small amounts of rock, is to use a dolly pot if you haven't seen one just do a youtube search to see what I'm talking about. They sell them at gold supply shops but it's usually cheaper to get one made at your local engineering shop out of scraps. Good luck with it all.

@JosephBoxmeyer5 ай бұрын
@@marcbarnard7268no. The fire idea is not pointless. I like the idea. The fire saved a LOT of work crushing the quartz. It's just that the wood fire does not get hot enough to melt the gold. But that's alright. The fire was cheaper than the labor of hammering quartz. I suggest heating the stone in a heavier pan, sliding it out of the fire, putting a hemispherical metal screen over it, and quickly throwing a large bucket 🪣 of cold water on it to fracture the quartz. The screen is for safety and also to assure that nothing flies away. I enjoy watching these videos. I live in central Pennsylvania where it is the least likely place that there is much gold.
