  • Join us on an extraordinary prospecting collaboration as @Danhurd brings 5 diverse gold ore samples to Jason at Mt. Baker Mining and Metals for comprehensive testing with the help of @mineoperator
    In today's riveting video, witness the meticulous process unfold as Jason employs the powerful 6x10 jaw crusher to break down larger pieces of gold ore into gravel-sized particles. The journey continues as the gravel-sized ore ventures into the hammer mill, transforming into a fine powder that liberates the gold and other precious metals for concentration.
    The pinnacle of this refining saga takes place on the Mt. Baker Mining and Metals shaker table. This sophisticated equipment separates the valuable, dense metals from the gangue, leaving behind only the high-grade concentrates ready for the final gold refining step.
    The big question looms: Will any of Dan's samples prove rich enough to warrant continued prospecting? The suspense builds, and the answer awaits in this captivating video!
    Stay tuned to discover the verdict and to witness the collaborative journey of testing, refining, and extracting precious metals. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on the exciting world of gold prospecting!

    i met dan at a public restroom in 1998. back then he wasn't panning for gold, but rather, selling "Dan Hurd's Man Turds", which he sold in canvas bags. Each bag contained 5 pounds of high grade sand with only the finest human fecal materials mixed. The precise contents of each bag was a mystery, and for my 40 dollars, I was rewarded with a bounty of predigested corn and some floss he accidentally swallowed. Thank you dan for your service.

    The best ore that I have found from next to a river were two pieces of quartz weighing about 2.5lbs. So roughly 3x3” round river rocks. Upon crushing and panning, to my surprise, there was .3 grams of gold! Some quick math gives a assay of 7.7 oz per ton!

    a friend of mine had really fine gold that wasn't being separated by tables. he ran the ore through a roller mill to crush everything super fine and then screened everything. the screens let the tailings through, but the gold was crushed flat and thin, so he was able to collect the gold from the screens.

    Always interesting to see the results of these crushes! When panning hard rock soil samples or crush, I always use a black pan. It's almost impossible to see the super small stuff against the Green Garrett pans (which I love and use all the time for placer). Some of the hard rock gold in my area may even be electrum (a silver/gold alloy), which lowers the specific gravity somewhat and makes it a bit harder to see against the pan.

    • @susanturcotte3176
      @susanturcotte3176 5 місяців тому +1

      Excellent question, Charles. After watching many of Jason's smelting of cons, I think it becomes at least a 2 part process. However, it is my guess. Get rid of the copper, then separate gold and silver (if you want to do it). I've seen many 'less golden' beads where he, or Dan, judges the percentage of the button on its color.

    • @dbracer
