    The good thing about panning with the black sand is seeing that contrast of the gold against the black.

    Hi Shane, this is Bill, the Panning Professor at Gold -N- Detectors. Thank you for the shout out and coverage. Sorry I was out when you were in on Monday. I could have told you about a customer doing this same operation more than 20 years ago. He termed it "fishing for gold". Yes, as you proved, the process works. He 'fished' off of the foot bridge near the library. To clean up his black sand, he used plastic (clean) peanut butter jars and a vertically mounted paint can shaker. After agitating the gold to the bottom of the jar, he could safely discard the black sand from the top level. Then he used that same blue finish pan to do the final separation. Enjoyed your video.

      Gold is paramagnetic, not nonmagnetic. Actually, anything that is nonmagnetic can be attracted to a strong magnet. You can use a very strong magnet to bend a stream of water.

    I watched this video for the second time. I have a suggestion for you, As with all suggestions if you like it , Try it, If not you know where the trash can is. Select your rocks and spots that you would prospect during good weather. when bad weather comes and the river floods, Wait for it to be safe and practical to use the magnet. You may need a pole and extra weight. You would have more of a chance for more and larger gold with the black sand if it has not had the chance to sink below the black sand. Good Fortune to You.

    It seems that everyone is an expert.... so here's my two cents worth!
    Try building a miniature fractionating table. It has a large rectangular corrugated surface, angled from top left corner to bottom right corner. A stream of wet black sand is trickled (using running water) onto the top left corner of the table, and as it drains away to the bottom right corner the elements separate, because of their differing Periodic Table weight properties.
    The fractionating table has a vibrator attached to it, in the form of an electric motor with an offset weight... like an orbital sander. The vibration, and the gravity feed, does all the work for you.
    Look up some stuff from old sand mining operations from the late 1960s. That's when I saw it happening in the flesh.
    When I was in primary/elementary school, they took us to a sand mining refinery to see how it all worked. Down the lower side of the little rainbow spectrum of elements that appeared, as if by magic, out of the sand (on the bed of the fractionating table) there was a thin band of gold particles. They told us that there was enough gold yielded every day to fund the entire operation (which was huge, with great big earthmoving machines and a factory sized building) and that the rutile, zircon, silica, and ilmenite they were mining was all pure profit.
    Hope that helps you cut down on drudge time... you'll have to build a table and do some experimenting of course... but after that, it's all cream!
    Good luck man, and thanks for the vids.

    If put a handkerchief over the magnet, when you pull it off, all of the black sand will drop off and the magnet will stay clean and you can rinse the handkerchief from the back and get the last amount that is left on it.

    isn't that creek basically a giant sluice box.....your magnet is separating the gold from the black sand before you even get it out of the creek....the majority of the gold is still in the spot where the magnet landed in the water....just with less black sand around it....separating the magnetics after you baked it is pretty much a smaller scale of how you gathered your material back at the creek.....think of all the gold you left behind .....would't it be better to just grab a bucket of dirt from the creek bottom then separate it later to get ALL the gold in one spot

      that's kinda what I think too.
      I would get s sort of curved pry/shovel that would actually dig deeper and have a chance to retain some fallen-off gold(?) .... and some "bar", magnets that would also penetrate the sand.
      I would think the magnet idea works but of course only picks up the flakes of gold that are superior to the iron oxide(or whatever it is). That is slightly above the metallic stuff, but within the bulk of the metallic stuff.
      I think I'm going to do some drawings ....

    • @ednewhouse7635
      @ednewhouse7635 4 роки тому

      The big difference is wet vs dry. Wet, a concentration of black sand will hold the gold with it due to surface tension. (same reason we add jet dry when panning). Dry, it's much easier to pull off the magnetics, leaving the gold in the blonds.

    Hey man yeah I noticed that myself the last time I was panning so I was trying to make it easier for myself and extract some black sand from my Pan with z magnet and I transferred it to another Pan to realise I transferred some gold with it👍🤠⛏⛏⛏

    • @peterlamont647
      @peterlamont647 4 роки тому

      On that note, why not process it chemically. Since iron reacts with cheap pool cleaning acid, just dump the entire bucket of black sand into the acid and call it good. What should be left at the bottom is gold, and maybe a few things that won't react with the acid...but I'm not sure what wouldn't. Suffice it to say, one of the only things that for sure won't react is the gold. I keep wonder about a way to isolate gold better...this method seems pretty promising as a start. I can't help but think that it is somewhat throwing the baby out with the bathwater to use the magnet a second time during refinement.

    put your magnet in a zip lock then take it out to release the black sand......much faster and you don't loose any.

    pull it out with your pvc suction tube and run it thru a bazooka sluice.

    I remember when I was in the state of North Carolina gold prospecting way back in the early 2000s there was a magnet I used for gold recovery and I remember dropping it a few times behind this big rock that I was digging and throwing it in a bucket and I took all the magnetite and brush it off into a mason jar and I took it home and actually panned it out little by little like you said in your video and actually found little specks of flour gold and Tiny flakes as well back in 2002 to 2003 and 2004. So I know the strategy works cuz I tried it long ago with a kind of mistake I made by leaving the heavy magnetite in my black pan I was going to dump it out later and forgot and it was stocked in the truck and later I panned it out just seeing because I thought I seen gold glittering underneath some of the heavy magnetite. I thought it was pyrite but was not sure until I panned it out and realized it was actually gold. So I was puzzled until I realized it was because it was stuck to the magnetite from the magnet and this is why and how it was collected with a small amount of gold with the magnetite.

While his method may not be the most efficient for harvesting gold, it is a hell of a good way to quickly prospect an area for dredging.

      I have a few more magnet fishing videos including the techniques suggested by commenters. Turns out my way was still the best.
