I agree with j ..no one knows even in a city of over 100 thousand people , they don't know anything about platinum and it's family. The problem comes from this,... Usually the nuggets you find are platinum group metals together for example a nugget would be palladium, platinum, and rohdium together. So when you walk into a place to sell your nugget it doesn't test for all platinum .it may be like 38 percent platinum, 20 percent rohdium, 12 percent palladium, 10 percent gold, 10 percent silver, and like 8 percent other metal. So of course it's not going to test positive for platinum cause it's not even 50 percent platinum. ..but the funny thing is it's worth more than if it was straight platinum cause it has the other platinum group metals in it that are worth more than platinum,...hell platinum is worth like 1000 dollors an ounce and like rohdium is worth like 15 thousand dollars a ounce. They love to tell you what you don't have.., but they never tell you what you have when it comes to a platinum group metal nugget such as these!0
It is good that you got the XRF done and charted. That gives you the percentages of elements contained in the mass. If you do the math on the percentages at closing price on the metals you will have an Idea what that is worth. Most nuggets go for 3x value as a collectable for the rich. Lol. It is everywhere in Colorado. There are allot of pgm's here. Good on ya mate.
There are nuggets out there that are not just nuggets with platinum in them, yet they are called " platinum nuggets" There are nuggets in northern cal. that are chunks of metal with several platinum group metals in them, including silver and gold, and of course they come with u precious base metals.
Platinum is the most popular of the platinum group metals, but it's the cheapest. Earlier I stated that alot of these nuggets have several prescious metals in them, and yes this is true,...but I've been lucky enough to find nuggets like that and also nuggets that are just platinum by itself, all platinum. and I've found nuggets that are all rohdium and I've found nuggets that are all palladium. And also these nuggets are several ounce nuggets , half pound nuggets , 1 pound nuggets. So ok, where do you sell these nuggets if this metal is so prescious ?... which it is..
I found a 2.2 pound nugget near the railroad tracks, while hiking with my family. We thought it to be an unusually heavy black rock. Until I cleaned it up Cannot so far find a foundry to smelt. My friend the geologist says 3215° to smelt. Any suggestions?
Hi guy! An oxydric torch and a crucible made of lime would be enough to melt. But I think that in the form it is in, it is easier to refine, although this is an extremely complicated and dangerous task.

Do you live in Spokane? I lost one there get it spectrometry meteors are 1000 a gram usually 99 cent iron nickel not chromium mine was to chromium has high melting point stupid to melt
This metal we are all taking about not only can't be lead cause lead has a low melting point and this stuff has a very high melting point, but there is no way it can be aluminum either. Aluminum will burn your fingers and gets very hot when a flame is applied to it even for a few seconds. This metal will not get hot even if you had a flame under it for minutes. Plus aluminum is man made. This metal is natural from the earth. People seem to think that alot of this metal was some man made pice of metal before like a bunch of spoons or tools that got melted in a camp or forest fire. No!, This metal is natural from the Earth's crust...from tectonic plate movement and such it was hot dripping oozing metal at one point like lava, then it hardened and cooled off. Another thing is a camp fire or forest fire would not melt this metal ...it's not hot enough. As soon as you realize that there is no such thing as a UN PRESCIOUS metal that comes naturally in nugget form, weighs several ounces, does not tarnish or rust, has a high melting point, is non magnetic, passes all the at home tests, o yeah and by the way just ironically looks just like platinum group metals, the better off you will be ,...and the closer you will be to knowing you need to sell this stuff before the world ends or you get robbed!
@@ronsykora6198 yes have it fire tested at a legit testing company. PGM'S tend to have false readings with xrf. get a print out of the property's then sell it on EBAY.
I got a 10 pound platinium nugget bro it sits on my lap its way bigger than that I say it's ten pound but I bet mines heavier than that I got the record I bet I'll weigh it Tmrw put it in peroxide my friend if it bubbles than it's Platinium my is I just made a cystaline platinium nugget and a metal nugget they both weighed an ounce oh my bad you did put it peroxide don't leave I too long you will lose the weight
You got the same stuff as me I did a lot of research. I looks like the same stuff I have. Did you see the x rays in my video? It seems to show a lot of Rhodium . Rhodium as at about $12 thousand an ounce. Let me know how your testing goes good stuff if yours is bigger. Very interesting. Are you in Canada? So how do wo turn these nuggets into money? I just subscribed to your channel and gave you a like Ron
I have a 2.2 pounder. I placed it in peroxide for twelve hours still bubbles like alka selzer. Haven't lost any weight. Heated it with a mapgas torch no color change chipped while hot and found a thin gold layer but the rest is pure dense non magnetic metal. I was praying for a comet. Used it to work my bicepts. lol
What platinum is that? And not a nugget, of course, but a technogenic, a melt from something. I can prove that it is not platinum in three ways: 1. it is necessary to heat this crap in the flame of a gasoline burner, if there were platinum, then nothing would happen to it, even a tarnish on the surface would not appear, and this garbage will most likely spread into a puddle. The melting point of ferroplatinum under 2000 degrees - does not melt even if incandescent 2. You can boil this garbage in pure nitric acid. Not that with pure platinum, but even with ferroplatinum in acid, nothing will happen, even if you boil for a whole day. And this one, I think, will dissolve in half an hour if the acid is good.3. You can measure the density of this "nugget". Platinum, even the most ferrous, has a density of more than 15 g / cm3 (that is, more than lead and silver). How to measure the density of stones at home by hydrostatic weighing there are videos here on UA-cam. And it should be understood that 99.9999999% of the natural "platinum" that is washed in the mines is represented not by pure platinum, but by its alloys with iron - ferroplatinum (= polyxene), tertaferroplatinum, isoferroplatinum. All of them adhere perfectly to a neodymium magnet, do not melt in a burner flame, do not dissolve in nitric acid even when boiling, and are VERY heavy. Especially in such shackles.
@@ronsykora6198 well, from what I've read, xrf usually gives false readings of rhodium, so I'm not sure if there is any in it. Rhodium is ridiculously rare. I've never refined ore, only metals. I'll see if I can find a friend that knows more about it.

Lead!!!??? No disrespect, but what is wrong with you? Lead has a very low melting point. You can take a bick lighter to a piece of lead, hold the lead under the flame, after about 60 seconds the lead will start to melt and drip. This stuff we are talking about has a very high melting point. Not only does this stuff not melt, tarnish, or discolor at all even after putting it under a flame for 5 minutes ,...but you can take the flame off the metal, and instantly put your fingers down and squeeze the spot where the flame was and you might feel a little warm spot. Only prescious metal does this. Also you can take a ice cube, put it on this metal and you will watch this ice cube melt rapidly. Then after a few seconds you can take the ice cube off , if there is any ice left and you will notice the metal took in all the cold. The metal is so cold that you can barley hold it in your hand. Prescious metal resist heat but attract the cold . That's why they love to use PGM metals in space and on things in space. Because there is nothing better than .metal that resists heat and fire but attracts cold in space.
Good work, going through various tests, nice nugget.

Well it would not melt at 3000 celsius. So and nitric acid did not dissolve it so???

Platinum is more dense than gold. You should just have a professional assayer check it out.
palladium is magnetic lol!

Ciao aluminium e un platino giusto
Hello
Shoot just heat it up if it's alluiminum it can't take the heat it fry up
if you watch the video you would see the heat test. It is not aluminum
Don't use flux it just makes Crystalin
thanks for the tip Ron
Congratulations
any idea what it is worth? or who would want to buy it?
I found a 180 kg platinum ore
I want to buy it now where is your location
