If you want to get fine Gold from either black sands or crushed hard rock ore , you can use a rod mill to help extract Gold if used in conjunction with mercury . If used properly us can collect up all the very fine Gold you have without losing anything but beware Mercury can be dangerous if not use properly so we made this video to help you guys do it safely. If you want to see more hacks on getting fine Gold fast, then watch this video. ua-cam.com/video/dRnhGfqnpE0/v-deo.html
when will the next video of your mine come out?
nice thanks jeff. i always wondered how those old timers did it. 💯🇺🇸
Hey Jeff, What's the best site to see if claims are open or not?
you betcha @@EnergyTRE
mylandmatters.org@@thomaspowers2405
as kids in the 60's, all the parents got after us for breaking every thermometer in the neighborhood to get to the mercury. nice to know now 60 years later, it wasn't that bad for us. 🤔
When I was in school in the late 60s, in science class we all got to hold and play with Mercury. I am now 67 and no health problems.
I've been having my dentist remove the silver- mercury amalgam fillings that were put in my teeth in the 1960s and 1970s. Thanks Jeff for the demonstration.
you betcha ...I still got mine
Dam smart move, I have been a hell of a lot healthier since I did it. I am TOTALLY against playing with Hg and is really not needed to find and capture Au, even the small stuff!
Very interesting!! I'm a plumber and it's really cool seeing the mercury stick to the copper. It's acts exactly like the solder we use join copper pipe, the solder won't stick to the copper at all unless you use Flux! Super cool. Thanks again for another awesome video Jeff I always lean something from you!
He can't plumb he can't fit but the Porta potty man sure knows his shit
Glad you enjoyed it
whaaah whaaaah
Jeff, you're the master miner. I learn more from watching your videos than any other prospector. Much appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks 👍
I shutdown my school playing with mercury.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was in middle school
which once was the old high school.
The science classroom had everything you could image,along with about a pint bottle of mercury.
Not one of us knew what it was.
In seconds it was everywhere.
Teacher walked in freaked out.
We all got sent home,
School closed .
We didn't get in any real trouble.
I MISS BEING YOUNG.😅😅😅😂
I am glad you didn't mention potatoes, that was really dangerous
Jeff and Lila you guys are awesome!! Thankyou so much for these very educational videos!!! Keep em comin!
Our pleasure!
I've never seen anything nuttier than you and i love itttttttt ! Thanks for the inspiring enthusiasm --- and while you're extracting gold you're also extracting a ton of laughter from all of ussssss !!!!!!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Radioactive Jeff “Mercury has gotten a bad rap!” As he walks out of his Zone 3 containment area! Jeff, you rock. I used to watch the copper bubble up at the cyanide pools and was always fascinated at the color and consistency. When the mine in Tembagapura, Irian Jaya, started hitting gold at about 8% a ton, I remember watching my dads guys set the mill up to process gold and copper at the same time. The concentrate was aerated with a soap like gookenpucky and sent to the coast 60 miles away by 8” pipe for loading into the bulk tankers. It was interesting how the gold and copper were separated from the concentrate but the “Yeller” sure was pretty.
my favorite gold miner, prospector, geologist, and auto mechanic Jeff Williams.
Great info fam 💯. Keep on having fun and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
thanks Gold Squad
I love the videos you make Jeff and Lila, especially, with this kind of content! Oh, and the pink respirator filter covers really bring out that golden twinkle of your eyes! 😂😉
Awesome! Thank you!
FINALLY, not so many comments yet and I can get in here and compliment your super style and camera work and editing. Genius use of Patreon and gifts to keep us students just chomping at the bit for more. I have learned at least three things in this video that will make my Hg Gold recovery mucho easier and better. PLUS the HNO3 to get Cu to adhere. You've helped my sister with her GoldBug 2, Immensely! And myself as well with my Gold Monster 1000. Your work and vibe is unequaled . Thank You, THANK YOU! Going straight to Patreon. I will ask how to get a tad more Hg than the 1# I have -( w/o breaking the bank) as you know that's not really very much, but I have a feeling you can't divulge that safely on YouT.
thats great .... we always love to hear that ... and its always our pleasure ..... you can get Hg from this site. www.abprospecting.com/catalog/28
Thanks again
jeff just keeps coming up with new video ideas.. cheers
thanks
Great video Jeff! Thank you for the tips on the ball mill. I'm going to have to try using rods to see if there's a significant difference.
Right on
Love your enthusiasm and knowledge, Brother !! So that explains why some of my placer gold won't stick to mercury. I'm gonna try the caustic soda trick. Thanks !! And as always, I smashed that like button !
thanks my Brother from another mother ...... try that and let us know.... thanks Allan
Thank you my friend for the lesson on mercury very helpful. Be safe ✌️ 🙏
you betcha
It’s a great teacher, channel and montage, more 🙏
thanks
Another excellent video
Glad you enjoyed it
I have been wanting to learn more about how Mercury works and reactions. And what you're demonstrating on. This video is just information and the knowledge I was looking for once again. Thank you very much. This is great. I've been experimenting with using Mercury to get gold out of some different Stone material and rock material I've collected. But I still have so much to learn. And your information is helping me more than I can. Even ever. Thank you, it's the greatest
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool beans 🫘. Nice sharing Jeff . Have great week 😅

Thanks for that. I wondered how they made mercury stick to the copper plates
Good demo on Hg. Can use an air retort in water
Jeff you are an institution! Thanks as always. I love these videos. So much info that even I know but haven't often tried. Or often do but had to carefully educate myself. I.E. reinvent the wheel. Love yours hands on ed.💪
I appreciate that!
Have fun and be safe ❤
Hey Jeff, Thanks for this video and all of the sweet information. I am hardly set up to duplicate the things you have demonstrated here but it is good to know for historical bragging trivia. Heavy pans my friend!
you betcha
Mint jeff
I get a lot of heavy black sand here in the Philippines ill have to try this method see what I can recover
I didnt get a notification! Arŕrrrr!
But nothing is gonna stop me from watching your video's. I caught your comment on Tom & Julie's channel and thought, wheres Jeff been? Glad i did. Id never miss your video's.
Oh no! but glad you watched the video anyways hahahhah. they are good people huh ...thanks
Hey Jeff, I'm a new subscriber who has many years of experience prospecting. Just want to say that yours is the best program I've seen for this subject.
PS, glad to see you use the Garrett Gravity Trap ,best pan ever.
welcome aboard my brother...... thanks , really love hearing that and yes it is
Yes
I have been watching your videos from the very beginning. I love your videos Jeff, you are an amazing man. Thank you for all the hours of enjoyment combined with decades (even life times) of knowledge. (One editors note; 14:20 I think you meant mercury instead of gold.) Please keep up the fantastic work. P.S. Slim says he wants his gold back chump.
thanks...]you betcha ...always pour pleasure
Hey Jeff…!
Been watching you for years…
Have to say I still misss Slim.
You have taught me so much about
Prospecting and I’m so grateful, thank you…!
I have to ask,
What about all of the stories about the old timers
who went crazy from using Mercury and it soaking
into their skin…?
Just wondering.
Have a great day and be blessed.
we miss Slim too .....thanks , really happy to hear that ....if you have cuts in the skin you can get mercury in the blood that way
As a beginner prospector with 2 claims i enjoy your videos Jeff
thanks
Very educational I like to clean my cons with a little bit of nitric and h2o it’s faster than using lye.
exactly Max and more effective
Good stuff as always Jeff. Very informative. Not sure I want my pants blown off with mercury, I'll leave that to you and the rest of the pros
Wow Got to see Jeff's video just 14 mins after he posted it Great Video COOL it does stick to the Copper like you said in that other video that I ask about, thanks
Oh I forgot to mention, AZ is working on I-17 down close to Black Canyon City. Now we are in a Semi so we can't stop and ask. But wouldn't be great if they let you dry sluice or classify some sand to take home and pan?
I just bought a gold magic spiral wheel, I am going to try and win some dirt 👏👏👏
And you had to be out doors more ventilation Jeff and yeah you got Wet !!!; )
Love the occasional non gold videos, no matter what information you’re presenting you do it in such a fun interesting way.
thanks
A sugestion better use if rod mill.. to separate gold from black sand run a cup or two of black sand in 70 rpm rob mill for 6 to 8 minutes. The brittle black sand breaks and the gold specks flatten out. After say 4200 revolutions pour the black sand through a fine screen. The sand will have been broken to small enough to go through but the gold flattened into disks catch in the screen where they can be collected with a brush. Ps played with murcury as nurses son from when a s
Whole tray of thermometers was droped . It was gathered with type paper and put in a pill bottle. Today they would call out the hazmat team for a Traynor thermometers. Still I would rather stay away from mercury.. btw this technique was developed in the Yukon about 1964 or 68 iirc and doubled the production of some mines.
I swallowed all my fillings year's ago, I can remember back in the 70's in school batting it back and forth with our hands all period long on the school desk just playing with it, now days they would evacuate the school and probably a city block around it.
For a bit I thought a rod mill would be good for crushing fines for easier separation of black sands & fine gold, but I need something fast like glass crushing, only I want something that can make wet black sand smaller & something portable too - like for beach sand gold.
I find mercury attached to gold in clear creek at golden Colorado . A lot of mercury still exists from the 1800s in clear creek . ✌️
Jeff you’re a wizard in the scientific field. Thank you both for another great method of finding gold. Or the separation of gold. Would it stick to a regular copper frying pan,, just wondering 😊
only if the copper is cleaned first
@@Askjeffwilliams I copper that
There he is 😊
I love you Jeff never stop being you this world needs you no matter what youre doin!
I was so engrossed in todays video Jeff, I've managed to eat a 90g bar of chocolate - oops! Never mind, my weigh in day isn't until Thursday 😂
It would've been great to have had a teacher as interesting as you at school. Many, many thanks to you & Lila for bringing us your awesome videos. Stay safe over there. 🇬🇧
hahahahah sounds tasty .... thanks ...always love hearing that .... always our pleasure Sue ...you to
Chemistry is fun
Eureka Yeee Haaa.
Fist 🤜 full of AU..
I use salt and Vinegar to clean my old copper boiling pot.. comes like new.. wonder if that’s clean enough for the Mercuri to stick to..??

Hi Jeff: Please do a test of a piece of Mercury and a piece of gold. I often wondered if you were to put them real close together (like .0001 of an inch) would they eventually jump the gap like electricity or a magnet?
Jeff, while prospecting how would you classify any of the minerals that compose Platinum
Haven't viewed your site in awhile missed your lessons. Loved the lessons at lost water fall. Where is lili? Thank you!
thanks ....she is filming ...you betcha
Jeff you should look up black Butte mercury mine cottage grove Oregon
Better living through chemistry! I did some luvw silv3r reactions today on my podcast too! And dag nabit
I had wrong caustic agent! I need the sodium hydroxide to oxidize silver chloride. I did succeed in cementing silver from silver nitrate with copper displacement
Rock on!
I wonder if you can use electrolysis to bond gold like a nickel plating instead? Sounds safer than mercury but may not be economical
Science+geology=jeff
thanks
I found almost an oz of amalgam couple weekends ago I have short on my channel showing how much I found it was crazy the gold that came out was just over 23 grams but the pocket I hit had 40.24 grams in it was my best weekend yet
thats great ....
Jeff are these rods 1/4 inch? Thank you
and for a long time mercury was considered a precious metal, back in the 80's it was selling for $200 for 75# flask
I would love to see you and Dan Hurd do 2 videos together. One where he comes up to do gold hunting in your area. I would like to see the other video where you do gold hunting in his area.
maybe someday
you should hear how rhodium sounds on the gm 1000. bought a gram. ,there are rhodium mines here in california. have a good day.
I just fond gold that was mixed with mercury this video was perfect timing win i find that it tells me the aria has been worked way to much by for too long I would like to know ware you get your dog so I can find out more about them thank you so come on lets go ............

So c'mon.... let's go!!!
We quit using lye and went to soda ash and borax. With sulfide ores we used bicarbonate of soda and potassium nitrate. Had to burp it a lot in a closed container. Oxidized it great. Also when I used copper plates, I would first dissolve my mercury in dilute nitric and then use a rag to spread it. Always wearing rubber gloves. One bad thing about mercury is it likes fresh cuts and scrapes. A tiny drop can get in and actually travel your blood system. You're right about the bad rap. In some parts of Mexico, after a hard night of partying they ingest a shot. Swear it cleans them out. I didn't party, thank God, so didn't test. Did notice they were still around a few years later. Still had teeth and hair. We also used that syringe with 3 cotton balls as a chamois. Cotton dissolves in nitric.😊
great info as always Richard ....need to get you out and working at our mine . Lol
@@Askjeffwilliams I wouldn't mind coming up there and helping in your mine sometime Jeff! I don't ask nothing in return since I have my own mines. Mainly would just give me a change of scenery for a while. 😁👍
Hey Jeff nice video !!! I’ve got a quick question for you can mercury dissolve microscopic gold not bigger than 10μm ?
yes ...
Yes, you and wifey, are my fave! WalkINBeauty

Jeff, got any detectors (used) of yours that are really very effective? Well beyond the gold bug 2? I’m hoping we found a couple Chinese tunnels Jeff! In Southern CA. I know they’re like the ones you found.. horizontal. God Bless Us All! Stay Safe Brother. Thomas Adams
hi Thomas ...nothing we want to get rid of ....sounds interesting
Nitric acid, Mercury and caustic soda in a non laboratoy environment is a little more than hazardous.
Hey Jeff, I just wanted to get your opinion on theMINELAB Equinox 800 Multi-Frequency Waterproof Metal Detector with EQX 11" Double-D Smart Coil (4 Detect Modes) what is your personal opinion on this unit and is it a good buy for $750? And thank you for letting us all pick your brain, your knowledge is priceless!
yes its a good buy
My pants just shot across the street and landed on my neighbors roof. Way to go Jeff!
hahahahhahhaa
Like someone already alluded to, I was waiting for tasty baked potatoes to come out of the campfire, but Lila must have kept you out of the kitchen on video day. Speaking of Hg, a portion of my small supply came out of one of the American River forks back in the day thanks to the old Keene dredge. Why am I hungry for baked trout and potatoes all of the sudden?
now you got me hungry too .....see what Gold mining does to ya

Speaking of black sand yeah I'm about to do this I have a metric shit ton already and I'm about to clean up my cons from a test I just did on a mine and I've never seen so much black sand Jeff but also think there stuff it goes gold, silver platinum group metals, and then this orange stuff and then black sands and blondes. What is the orange stuff some one said thorium but there's what to much to be that right it's like 30% of the cons!
I've done several trips to a spot on one of the forks of the American River. While I know where the gold was I have no idea where it is. LOL
Hey Jeff, If I utilize the mercury/nitric acid process to extract the fine gold from my black sands, what would you guess the purity of the gold is? I thought I read somewhere a long time ago it was around 99%? It sure is a different color than the raw gold, kind of buttery yellow. Thanks for all you do!!
purity would depend on a lot of factors ...you can have it assayed to know .... most Gold is never 99% pure
@@Askjeffwilliams The nitric acid would burn off any copper or silver alloy in the gold, right? What other alloys would or could potentially be in the mix after using the nitric acid?
