  • @Dan Hurd and @mbmmllc team up for a prospecting adventure to determine how much gold and silver Dan has in his ore. This video has two parts: Prospecting gold veins for good looking ore to process through the crusher, hammer mill and shaker table. Part two is crushing, concentrating, and smelting the gold and silver down to pure precious metals.

    This reminds me so much of when I worked in an assay lab In Thunder Bay in the late 90's and we ran hundreds of samples a day from individual prospectors and many junior mining companies who were sending core samples from exploration claims in Northwestern Ontario. I loved the chemistry and science behind what we were doing. Ahhhh... the memories!

The county I live in has over 500 registered mines and was extremely rich. We have a huge amount of quartz and awesome quartz veins all around my house that makes for awesome prospecting. Running some of this material through your system would be awesome and would shed light on how rich the area actually still is. on a hard rock scale which is something I don't have the means to do here. Great videos and keep up the good work. Enjoy it immensely!!.
