    I love seeing videos with MBMM a ton! They are some of my favorites. I just wish I could see more of the process of smelting and cupling in the videos! I love seeing the metal bubbling and turning liquid, and then seeing the bead at the end! I'd also love to see the inside of the impact mill if it's possible to open it up one day!

      Go to Jason's channel "MBMMLLC". Mount Baker Mining and Metal is a manufactrurer of mining and scrap metal processing machines including hammer mills.
      Some of his earlier videos explain how his hammer mills work and show the internal workings.

    Just A tip for smeltning...
    If you put a peice of paper under the crucible before you light the furnace, the crucible wont stick to the brick underneath when its time for the pour.
    The ashes basically act like flour on a pizza pan lessening sticking. 😎👍

    Yeah I REALLY enjoy these collab videos. I like seeing the prospecting aspect of it but I also very much enjoy watching and learning about the smelting and purification, seeing a nice gold bead or button at the end :) I love just looking at gold lol. I never understand why people have complained in the past about Dan showing gold too much.

    Fascinating stuff guys. :) I live in Wales where the earth is rich with 'dirty quartz'. The gold particularly is numerous here. (The continental plates drifting means the Welsh mountains are actually the very same geologically, as those on the US coast i believe.) I'm not far from the Dolocouthi goldmines - the reason the Romans came to Wales! They do a wonderful tour of the mines, both the Roman history and that of the much later mining in the last few centuries. The machinery is staggeringly big from the latter era. I'd love to have a go at the process to extract precious metals from Welsh quartz one day, and perhaps even have a pan in some of the beautiful mountain rivers. :)

    • @bill-hunter
      @bill-hunter 10 місяців тому

      Much the same in Scotland, in particular the Leadhills. I don't know about Wales, but in Scotland, most of the gold mining is owned by royalty. You used to be able - back in the 80s and 90s - to purchase a gold panning licence for 1 year at a cost of £15.00 per year in the Leadhills. You could.d take a guided tour of the mine then visit the museum and see the appalling conditions they lived in in their wee cottages. Where they slept and died of lead poisoning.
      By the way, I bought myself an annual ticket to pan in 1996. The gold is still in the burns yet 😂 I was totally useless 😂

    Plus i do love the collab vids. You and Jason ,Brett, and Jeff and Pauli, were pretty much all i watched forever. And seeing you guys working together is way cool.

  • @patchvonbraun
    @patchvonbraun 10 місяців тому +1

    So, the thing about silver with Galena is that I would expect, from a chemistry perspective, for there to be very very little native silver in the galena--if it's in there, it would also be in the sulphide form, because silver forms sulphides pretty easily. So when there's galena coming off the table, there's silver too, but in the sulphide form. Which is why at places like Cerro Gordo, they had to smelt it all -- very little native silver. That's just my inner chemist talking, though -- not much of a geologist :) :)

    Always fun to see what you are up to.

    Little bit of disappointment in the end results of some of the ore samples, but that is life when prospecting / mining !
    Looking forward to the samples from the Sarra Gordo.
    Take Care

    I'd like to see you do a dream claim pan then go see Jason. I'd love to see a few gold pans getting smelted down for a nice pyramid or golf ball size of gold. And I can't remember but did you ask Andy about trailer and 35g and hopefully your truck can handle the gvw weight.

  • @susanturcotte3176
    @susanturcotte3176 10 місяців тому +1

    Well Dan, I'm as shocked as you are on the best looking stuff not having any gold. I guess it ran away before you bagged the ore. 😂 Seriously though, now I wonder about that awesome specimen you're sending for the special assay. Can't help but wonder how much will be in that? That is a result that makes you grind with anticipation! 🤔🧐🥺 Not sure if I can wait for that. You must be losing sleep over it, too!
    It was great to see Jason and Harry there helping out. I'm not sure if I have ever said it in a post before, but Jason really has awesome equipment and set up to run almost anything through to get immediate answers on whether or not there is gold in it. It is wonderful of him to do that for you.
    Last, I learned something new while watching: nugget effect (I think that was what you called it). It wasn't a GLOTD, but a very interesting concept or theory. It sounds like a hide and seek, not knowing where to mine, and in what direction. If you're lucky you find it, if not, you have wasted time, energy and money. I guess the old saying, "never judge a book by its cover" still applies to this. The ore might suggest it's loaded, but the facts at the end show it's not worth anything. I sure hope this isn't the case, Dan! You work so hard prospecting and we all want the best for you and your family.
    I will see you on the next video. Hopefully it's before Christmas. 🎄 If not, may you have a blessed and peaceful Christmas! Prayers and blessings from Alabama ❤️
