Flour Gold
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2017
- In today's video, I sample along bed rock for any signs of gold in the area and discover a very small amount of very fine flour gold mixed with iron pyrite.
The surrounding rock is made up of mylonite and gneiss. The base of the rock where I sampled contains quartz veins and hydrothermal deposits with pegmatite intrusions.

Found exactly what i wanted to watch in prispecting videos...Great work...Carry on Bro...
YOU ARE THE MAN...... KILLER SHOWS..... THANKS BROTHER..
For such a small amount of material, that’s a pretty hefty return! That’s nice 👍 I’d collect that in buckets an process that, you’ll be very surprised on how much gold you’d get! Buy your self a Gold Hog multi sluice, and run that material it will pay for it self! Awesome
Its definitely a plan of mine to process that material :) Makes me wonder how much of it can be taken from the rock and veins in the cut. My first time using the goldbug 2 was at this location and it was going off constantly, most of it was likely just hot rocks with high iron and mafic mineral, but some of it could be the good stuff. Right now i'm busy studying in college and working here and there. Im working on my geology degree. But on my free time, ill have to get some buckets of that and try collecting what I can as well as other things.
Nice stuff!
if you get to the bottom of all that fallen material you might find some larger gold. looked pretty rich for one pan. good luck
looks like it could be a lode deposit. in the banding behind the dark red and black is where it's at
So many big words i need to learn.
The flour gold in your pan may actually be chalcopyrite. It is heavy and brassy yellow and very hard to separate from black sands because of similar specific gravity. It is brittle and can easily be crushed. If you have a lot of small particles, check the material again when it's dry. Chalcopyrites will look non metallic and more like sulfur when dry. Also your sun glasses may change the true appearance of minerals. If you do have flour gold, check out Hard Rock University's panning videos on micro fine gold. Good luck!
Its funny that you mention this because, just the other day I was reading about chalcopyrite and was wondering if my "flour gold" may be just that. What a coincidence.
The specific gravity of chalcopyrite is 4.1 - 4.3 and most black sands are just above or around 5 I think. I tried washing the stuff out of my pan multiple times and it stayed in. So I believe it could be very small gold.
I will be getting myself a loupe magnifier one of these days so I can take a closer look at my findings. As for my sun glasses I never thought about them possibly changing the true appearance of the minerals, but I remember taking them off a few time to look at the minerals in my pan. I will remember to avoid wearing sun glasses while looking at minerals in the future.
And if it is chalcopyrite, ill try to find more of it because its a very good copper ore.
Thanks for the information. Take care
Roasting is the only way followed by a acid bath, you may also have ARCENO-PYRITE wich is a blended mix of calcopyrite/arcenic/gold and other oxides and it is also very resistant to fire and acid
Good work, keep it up, dig a respectable hole there, little bits add up.
We all slip and spill stuff, so may I suggest you use bags that can be purchased at Lowe's for about $1.00. Also, since all your videos, so far, show you alone, carry some bear spray, especially in the Spring. Oh, and don't wear head phones while metal detecting. Head phones are for the beach. I enjoy your videos and am looking forward to many more. Stay safe, my friend! Oh, and one more suggestion. Hard Rock University has an excellent video on prospecting alone . . . did I say excellent? Yea, I did.
It would be nice to know what state you are in in each video. I live in Colorado. Thanks.
You should rough-up all the surfaces of your pan.
I would recommend that you use water when your swirling all that dust around, it can be harmful to breathe in the dust as it looks like a mixture of powder and you never know when allergies become a part of your search too.

Likin' your vids! Offering some thought that might be helpful --- learning the "wash and bump" technique with the pan; washes the "lights" down while pulling the gold to the upper rim. You've sampled the area and proved it contains gold; actually a lot for the size of sample though it be "flour" gold . Determining the source layer(s) would be my next step.
Think I'd look into a plastic tub to carry my pan/classifier/hammer (and snuffer bottle) along with enough water for wash --- minimizes time and possibility of sample loss ---- LOL, just sayin'.
Looking forward to the next vid -- keep up the good work.
Thanks for the thought.
I remember trying to bump the sands down to separate it from the gold but when its that small its easy to wash it down and I guess you can say my panning skills need a bit of work. Gold can even float sometimes on the waters surface when its that small. I've read that using some drops of jet dry can solve the "floating" problem.
Ill definitely have to get some kind of tub to carry around with me. I've been carrying all my stuff in a 5 gallon bucket but that tub will be helpful when I'm away from water, but I guess i could always dry pan if I'm desperate enough.
I will be coming back to this spot in search of the gold. I have a good feeling about those quartz layers. But Ill likely wait until most of the snow has melted off. Also I forgot to mention in the video but this was actually my very first gold that I've recovered.
Thanks again for your helpful thoughts and thanks for watching.
And hopefully we'll find more of that gold.
It is a small wave action --- almost like a "wipe" with water ---- the lights will wash down and the tapping with make the gold (heavies) climb right up. Does take some practice.
Add some Dawn dish liquid to the water (tiny drop) --- it will help break the surface tension of the water, less likely for the gold to float... works very very well
Here's a vid to demo the action.... now, he uses his finger to push the gold back up; keep in mind, the fingers contain oils which will make the gold float too --- all the more reason to use Dawn (or Jet Wash) in your water. A few times - he uses a "wipe" action - kinda like a roll of the wrist/pan for the water to roll/wipe around the pan. Play with it a bit -- it'll come.

Another (very good) video... demos the "wipe" a lil better. ---- oh, your pan... don't know if you've done it but --- take some "ScothBrite" or brillo pad or steel wool... and scratch up your pan. The molding process leaves it slick and with an oily residue --- wash it with Dawn very well........ all tips and hopefully helpful

Wishing I had started when I was your age, keep it up, eventually you'll find the what you're looking for.
I wouldn’t worry about him being out alone.. there’s tons of traffic in background.. and has cellular cuz could hear his phone buzz on silent once.. LOL So Thank you for classifying what u are seeing.. as im learning an in reading i get so overloaded following the rock family tress so hearing the classification an seeing it cements i hope in me what ive read ;)

How does horn blend form through the hydrothmal deposits?
If you mean in things like quartz veins, I imagine it forms similar to other minerals as the solution it is in starts to cool and it begins to crystalize out. I associate hornblende with metamorphic and igneous rocks because that is where I always see it. I am not sure exactly how they form in hydrothermal deposits but it might be because rocks with hornblende are in the area or are in contact with the hydrothermal deposit.
from what i understand it could be very rich is some cases. even a small deposit may hide its true value. i would try crushing it very fine if nothing course appears and then amalgamate with mercury for a poor boy extraction. maybe roast it first too.
Informative video but try to keap your camere more steady.
Dude I can tell you by just looking at the rock shape it contains gold and diamond there there's diamond there too bro trust me
This type of rock does not contain diamond. Diamond forms at extreme depths (250 km) and is brought up to the surface in volcanic pipes which creates a certain rock type. This is gneiss which used to be a sedimentary rock which formed from sediment depositing in a deep basin in a sea or ocean. So it wont contain diamonds but, they can and do sometimes have a little bit of gold in them depending on the geologic environment.
@@GeoForge that kind of rock is at my ranch and I got millions of diamonds and PLATINUM and gold and it's the structure face shape there my friend I'm talking about my ranch is known as the face ranch cause there's Artifact from an Indian Tribe I call the Indians X Tribe the same face structure that you were digging by if you digg maybe about a foot or two to your right you probably find more than gold the earth will let you know where all the fortune is at I'm native American I am blessed with that gift my diamonds I found were only 2 feet deep and PLATINUM and gold were in the rocks on the ground I didn't have to dig far 2 feet and I got truck loads of all minerals and Artifact but I guess you got to be native to have that gift and be able to read the earth but take it easy don't dig to hard my lil friend go to my channel and you can see all my Diamond and gold artifacts I have lots to show you my friend plus if you subcribe you got a chance to win a free diamond for Christmas that means any of you have the chance thanks
The crystals looks a bit like Baryte 😁 but I'm a noob
They are actually small biotite books. But they do have the shape of Baryte.
@@GeoForge ooo interesting, thank you
Sorry but your camera work makes for very uncomfortable viewing
Irradic and blurred zooms , too close , blurred closeups jabbing and bobbing all about...
It would help to have another person give you an honest (not a kind one ) criticism ...
Camera work is something i'm still working on getting better at. I realize that it can be pretty bad at times especially in some of my older stuff. I recently upgraded to a camera with higher resolution so that should help minimize some of the pixelated and blurry look, besides when I'm shaking all over the place.
The earth is not millions of years ago and a volcano can make gold and rocks within a week so get it straight the earth is only 6000 years old.
😂😂😂
Whats the point in doing all that? your not even getting good looking rocks. Why don't you go to where the big nuggets are in the mother load country???
Then again I guess some of that loose looking dirty Rusty stuff you're getting does have its own Beauty to it maybe for like mulch or fertilizer for pot plants or something gardnerville. Area has some of that stuff many I'll go get some for the cracks in my sidewalk.
Anyway thanks for the good tips and tricks on the best way to locate that that Comstock Lode children from all that flower gold you got in that pan you're on the right track. And by the way I'm going to subscribe to you
