I just like how good of a mood this guy is in
Gold will do that to yah
He’s definitely high 😹
@@PaleOrangeslol right? Just like no one is frowning on a jet ski. No one is frowning while playing with their own personal gold lol
@@kennethmillerjr2220on money!
Haha if I had that much gold infront of me so would I
That jewelry was gold filled. Bronze (tin & copper) base metal, coated with a karat gold. The tin separated / burned off, producing tin oxide powder .. As that happen the copper was pushed out, like toothpaste from a gold tube (coating). Seen it many times while refining gold. I usually just keep it going until the white powder stops coming out. Melt what's left into shot, then chemically refine it to extract the gold.
This dude just loves life lol. Good to see
This was so much fun to geek out with you. Love the positive enthusiasm!
Have played a bit same as you are. Pouring into mold can turn out very nice, but key is to heat the mold before pouring. Cold mold sucks the heat out of gold so fast that it hardens before you can finish the pour. I found that putting a propane torch on mold to heat it up then leave it on till you finish pour works best for me. But I'm no expert, so your results may differ. 🤣 ✌️😎
No. You're absolutely right. That is _exactly_ the correct procedure especially when using a Graphite mould. No apologies needed.
I really appreciate your enthusiasm brother
Homie literally has me smiling despite feeling like warmed over death atm.
Also makes me homesick for Colorado. Awesome stuff
I have wondered about this for years now . I don't have a furnace for melting , but I'm glad you decided to try it . What a great result for the day . Thanks for showing us this process of melting gold . Cheers my friend
Me too Steve! I wasn't finding much information about melting gold like this so had to do some testing myself. It works a charm!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp I’ve done it that way since I started. I think it’s the fact that it eats the molds up a lot quicker and people are, I’ll use the word conservative, to be less offensive. Screw that! People are cheap and don’t want to spend the money to replace them earlier. They would rather give themselves grief trying to pour a nice loaf!
The molds are ten bucks. Don't know about the crucibles. How many uses? Can the carbon be cleaned off or is it through the rock? Thinking out loud.
AskJeffWilliams has a bigg furnace I think. Bigger crucibles. Hope your burn is OK. Honey helps.🐦🎶🎵💫🥰
200 us on ebay gets you an electrical smelter. I went that way after I blew off half my face using a gas setup. Much easier, very safe, breaks easily but that's nothing compared to losing eyebrows and 10 square cm of skin...
"Let's go steady-hand McGee!" That one rly had me laughing!
never was exactly sure why that bit stood out to me but i just love the way he says it, you can really feel how excited this sort of thing gets him... He's loving it and clearly living his best life!
Dina's! This is Terry. So glad to see you down at the creek. Great job melting those beads. I have been killing it finding arrowheads and artifacts here in Missouri. Keep finding that gold buddy, wish I was there.
Hey Terry, what's up man! Long time no see! Really good to hear from you. I am glad to hear that you are still on the hunt and finding awesome treasures out there. Definitely get a hold of me when you make it back to Colorado!
Thank you for showing this information on how to smelt Gold this way you are the only one I’ve seen do it this way well done for coming up with the idea I will be using it myself in the future thank you Wayne from Victoria Australia
This was a big help to me, THANK YOU!!!!!
I wish I could find someone like you that would take me under their wing as an apprentice. You're a pretty cool, dude man..
That’s how I do my small ones also. I don’t have as much gold to play with as u do so I gotta preserve what I do have. So I don’t pour cuz I mess those small pours up everytime. Love ur videos. Keep ‘em coming
Thank you for sharing. I will try that real soon. I wish you lived closer to me... that way you could explain it all in person. I'm better at learning in person. But I still try.
Dang that’s a lotta pretty metal!
Luv me some shiney!!
Another great video, thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for the encouragement Corndawg!
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun. Gold Squad Out!!!
Yeehaaaaa, thanks GS. Molten gold sure has a way of putting a smile on your face!
if you torch the crucible as you pour you will get a much cleaner pour and less is stuck in the crucible
That mold is designed to be preheated with a torch too...
Keep Pushin!! Nice result sir
I love every part of this video 🎉
Congrats,,, well done and with no flux... who knew?
Right
I was surprised as well. It worked great!
Thanks for sharing this my friend gotta luv gold
Indeed! Molten and solid gold is a real sight to behold!
That's very impressive I must say. 👌❤️💛💚
Crazy reaction! way cool idea!
@Colorado Gold Camp. So if I get a gold ring or two (18 K), cut them into pieces, put them in a mould, then carefully use my Oxy/ Acetylene torch on the bottom of the mould, would I get the same result?
I found some old pieces of jewlery (10k cufflink and 14k earings). Melted them down with a mapgas torch into buttons. I think im addicted now 🤣
Graphite will oxidize over time in your kiln and will crack, so be careful you can loose your gold when the Graphite mold cracks in the kiln. The graphite mold is good for a few smelts like your doing, I used this method before.
It definitely would not be fun to lose your gold that way. Trouble is that any crucible, mold or dish is susceptible to cracking.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp True , crucibles & cupel,s only good for a few smelt,s. I do like your set up for production and grahite mold for gold bars, your doing awesome 🥳🤙
Hello, I'm new to your Channel. I have some gold items that I'm going to attempt to smelt into bars and I basically ordered everything that you have from Amazon. I'm going to be testing the oven out this weekend. Any suggestions on how long I should leave gold items in the oven for? Through this video I see your time running between 5 and 10 minutes, but what about the temperature setting? Thank you in advance
Great video. This is going on my whish list. By the way, you link a respirator mask you use. At which stage/point is the used? I didn't catch it in the video
Enjoy seeing all that gold good melt
Thanks Dig!
Awesome thanks for showing
Might I suggest pouring a bar to get the amount right and then return it to the furnace melt it a second time and hit it with some flux to get the pretty bar because I'm sure you'll get better results if you get the amount right which I'm sure is harder to do when you are putting irregularly shaped solid pieces with gaps in between into the mold trying to eyeball it
Good suggestions Buddy. This gold is most raw and not refined so I am not too concerned about exacting weights.
Killer melt, South Africa gold coin made used this process to make there gold shine thanks for the great video
I will have to check that out, thanks Deward!
UA-cam's not giving me my notifications. Sucks I missed this when you uploaded it.
I love watching gold melt. Nice!
Shoot, that's a bummer! It has been happening to me as well. Melting season is upon us!
Curious what is the realized profit after running the furnance/molds? Examples are fine just trying to fix cost vs return.
Fascinating video, new subscriber! Interesting to see you experiment with it. Great looking little bars bro!
Thanks and welcome Pirate! This method of melting bullion is so easy!
Woo hoo first. Glad to see another video bro
Thanks Timothy🙌
Over 50 years ago, NOAA tested ocean fish for metals, especially mercury. They found more gold than mercury in their samples.
love your show
Hi did you get the scale from Amazon thanks
Thank you, I needed a good laugh
Fantastic video brother of this process,thanks so much for sharing 👍⛏️🌵
My pleasure Doug. Sometimes we have to test out new methods to see if they work.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp yes for sure brother! Keep up the good work👍
Interesting thank you
Really nice
Nice chunks! Have had the pipe dream forever of having a small claim/mine. Dawned on me that physically it's beyond me anymore. Love putzing around checking out rocks and panning regardless..... Howdy from the desert part of Washington.
Heck yea, keep your dreams alive WM! Just scale it down to what you can handle and enjoy the adventure! Best of luck out there!
Do you level your oven before starting? I wonder if that would help it fill the mold more evenly? Your quite the perfectionist.
Good point SCS. I did not level the furnace. That could have made all of the difference!
Had no idea this was possible, thank you for sharing!
My pleasure Au! I also assumed that flux had to be used.
Now can you melt karrot gold to1835°and then pour into the appropriate size cone mold to further refine it? I am really really curious to see what would happen if you did that! Because what would stop the metal from naturally separating as it solidified? I would think the impurities would just be reduced to slag or mat? Can't wait to find out? Till then them high grade tellurides are calling my name! God Bless!
HowRad
Also wonder if you could just do away with The crucible and nothing right in the cone mold sounds like working on another show now can't wait to find out!
Are you kidding me? Sure you can melt it, but NO ONE and I definitely mean, NO ONE, will buy it.
@@tjmmcd1Why is that ? Thanks
Fun video! Do you have any experience with a gas furnace for smelting too?
Yes, here is the playlist. Mostly smelting and some melting: ua-cam.com/play/PLOckb-AKI23iH33mTDYJ220H_ougkD5Lg.html
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Thank you! ✨👏🏻✨
This was great , thanks !
Glad you enjoyed Jeffrey, thanks!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp I just subscribed ( i thought i already had , getting old isn’t frustrating ( if you can be entertained by the unintentional comedy automatically generated ( constantly))
Good day! I live north of BV, local prospector, follow some of your videos in familiar country where I grew up. Thank you for sharing all the useful information and geology! So question for you, I have about a 1/4 oz of gold I tried to melt down using borax and other flux and couldn’t get it hot enough with map gas torch. The gold is still in the crucible and stuck in the flux. It has been in this trapped state for a few years now. Any ideas on how to get it out easily without an extensive smelting setup? I appreciate your expertise!
Get a 2nd torch, use two torches at the same time, MAP gas will melt the gold
Thanks!
How do you make casting grain out of bullion?
Good job man 👌
Thanks WCGP, it's always fun melting gold
That was cool!!!
Try to keep the melted gold as liquid (hot) as possible the whole thru pouring episode! To torching it with flame during the pouring it will remain the melted metal being amorphous until it sets on the mold all the way
Theory or facts?
@@e.t.2230stands up to reason
True. I do always see the pouring part done while torching it at the same time.
Hello there! Where can I get a mold & furnace like that!?
Nice video ❤
Donde compraste el horno .?
I have used a propane Torch on small amounts without flux and that worked too. I think the purity is important to get good results.
This is the first video I've seen on this channel. Your enthusiasm reminds me of that guy that had/has a youtube channel , he made videos mostly in northwest arizona. I could be wrong but I think his name is Jeff.
When I first heard this video I immediately thought of another channel I recently came across - I thought it was Ask Jeff Williams until I saw the CGC moniker. Lovem both
I thought you don't use a coating for graphite molds? Are those not graphite, or is gold different?
Hey mate, I'm of a similar mind, questioning the use of flux but on a more challenging level- separating gold, silver and copper just using temperature... it's a nightmare!
Anyways no flux would be much easier on components. Sadly weight in, weight out won't cut it for me. I'll watch to the end and see what i can learn.
But is it pure what karat was it before u melted and what Karat is it after melted ?
Im just geting into hard rock and smelting and melting. What would you recomend for a smelting/melting and cupelling furnace to start with? I have a budget around 300 bucks.
Definitely this one: amzn.to/3cTUka3
Why don't you concern instead of electrical kiln to use a propane heated melting kiln? With two hundred bug you'll get a nice and economical one with?
Can this method be used to melt couple kilo at the same time?
Nice video
Thats awesome as didnt no this ,wat type of furnace is that ,wud a glass furnace work?
A glass furnace could very well work if it gets hot enough. I have link for this furnace in the video description.
amzn.to/3cTUka3
@@ColoradoGoldCamp awesome thank you
I believe the hammering makes the gold more brittle hence the cracking. The gold should be annealed between hammering to prevent the cracking.
That makes sense. Good reminder
Pure gold can be hammered to micron thickness without annealing. Gold leaf is the perfect example, artisans have been hammering gold leaf for centuries. Golds major attraction is it’s workability, plus the fact that pure gold does not decay.
Those are some nice nuggets.🐎🌻✌️
Hello Colorado. Nice clip😊
Arne 🇳🇴Norway
Would like info on purchasing your mine
Thank you
I thought they did a dry run on new crucibles i would think on molds as well to make sure they aren't defective and expode your gold all over our oven?
hey so I melt broken jewelry a lot, and I've run into that yellow stuff that turns white a couple times. I've noticed that when something is like really heavy plated and seems gold, but is just plated, it produces that. I think it has something to do with the copper interacting with something else. Also I think the reason the other button broke and split is because it might have been hardened more then the other one (could be wrong with that one though).
What was the kiln temperature?
Hi man, I have new furnace, just 10x10x10 cm (4inch), I am going to do exactly that with my gold (or silver). I have seen nice round molds with cap, those are higher, so more gold fits in.. Now, I am trying to learn cupellation, I have some cupels, not much success with gold yet, silver works better.
Time, materials and temperature are the key. I have a few videos showing cupelling. Best of luck! ua-cam.com/video/C7I91UUTsTs/v-deo.html
I want the mine!
Second, very cool vid. That orange crazy stuff is weird. Didn't know about this
It sure is. I imagine that it is some form of sulphide.
That was a lot of fun. Thank you!
My pleasure😀
Wow so very hard work but 👍
What do you want for the mine?
How much you looking to get for your mine?
I like it
Shaggy hunting gold. :D great video
I'd try shaving the gold down to 1-2mm pieces then pack it in the graphite it would be closer to fill and also melt differently.
What did you think was gonna happen when you smack gold or any soft metal with a hammer,yeah it gets really hot really fast
cook it until the temp hits 2,150. no flux. pours better from a crucible that way and sets better in the graphite molds.
Take fine grit sandpaper to those molds and wet newspaper soak them
Since your in the industry, does "lynch mining" sell good gold? Only asking because they seem to be the only ones I can find actually selling Gold at Spot. If you have any better tips or suppliers that I should go through let me know!
Good
Preciouse metals awsome😆
🙌
Did you do the nugget club for July yet?
Very good 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾🇧🇷🚀
Readers, this is simply Gold fever at play. He will recover.
You mentioned making a coin. That would be cool. I would be interested in buying a CGC custom gold coin
How would you make it a coin? Would you spray release on a stamp and stamp it while it is hot or stamp it like you would stamp any other metal (after it is cooled)?
@@sarahsaathoff4648 There are a few different ways to do this. First, I would want to purify the gold to say 3 or 4, 9999's. Then you could put a bead through a roller to flatten and then stamp it. To make better and more detailed coins on a small scale, sand casting would work fairly well.
Great😊
I do that with my beach gold before i refine it, then i redo it in the oven.
What’s the purity of the gold bars from all the different gold?
These have been tested and all are above 80% one is even 98%
Please tell me as I watch you keep the 1oz button! It’s so beautiful 🤩
The one ouncer is a real beaut!
How much you selling the gold mine for I’m definitely interested
Does it increase the value if they are melted down
As long as you get to the pure gold . Never mix your gold . Keep 10k with 10k and so on.
Gold loafs. Awesome
Hehe Loafer. Big fat loafs of gold!
