Whaaaat! That much gold in the magnetic black sands??? Craaazy
Very interesting indeed!
Wait, I'm a bit corn fused...I thought you didn't want any gold to be found in the separated magnetics...Does this mean the contraption is actually stealing gold that you might have otherwise separated by other means? 🤔
I also use the Rollie Pollie to clean up cons. Coulter is constantly improving his equipment all for the better. Hugh time saver. Thanks for sharing.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥 Merry Christmas.🎄🎄🎅🎅
Hey Chuck, Happy Holidays to you as well! Yea, Colter is always cooking up something new in his shop! I was pretty impressed with this machine, Heavy Pans!
And when I say Hugh, I mean Hugh! 😆
Have you had hot slag in your boot? You cant get them boots off fast enough lol.
Scary hot! I've been careful and lucky. I might really need to think about getting a fireproof apron. This molten metal could burn down to and through bone in no time!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Like a Phosphorus burn. Strongly advising that you use those tongs just only to lift the crucible out to set it down, a guy used one like that to pour and the crucible broke where it was in contact and there was slag all over the place. Your literally playing with fire! Eh! Then use a different one, that 1/2 of it is a ring that it sits in, with the other 1/2 of the tong lays across the top of the crucible and when you squeeze the tong together it holds the crucible firmly in the ring. Use minimum 1/4 rod steel, the crazy heat quickly softens the steel. Where the rod joins the ring, weld 2 pieces at 30 to 40 degree angle to each side to beef the ring up, to handle the weight of a full big crucible, when it's white hot. If you want to continue to smelt large charges, SAFELY, build this tong, or get someone to build it, not tomorrow, next week, or soon, but TODAY. yOU can't do much when your feet/legs are hurt, Eh! 👀👅🧑🦽👣👣👣🌄☯😷
@@ColoradoGoldCamp 👍Well be careful and keep making amazing video's...
What would happen if I peed in the molten white hot gold? Anyone tried this yet?😆
Superior contraptions, results, and presentation
It's a pretty wild little machine, thanks Django🙌
Very cool show today man. What a great little machine. I've seen the product in use before watching other prospectors. hope you have a very merry Christmas this year. thanks for sharing
Thanks Steve, Happy Holidays to you as well!!
Au some content,you’re the man to watch for great info Wish I was right there learning more. I’m glad I found your channel!!!!
Happy to have you here Dirt and I appreciate your support🙌
Awesome video love the smelting process and that's nice assay results.
Smelting is quite mesmerizing. Thanks AoaL!
great job fam. keep on having fun fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Grinning ear to ear my Friend! Cheers
To heck with being a toys our us kid, I'm going to be a gold prospecter!⛏ thanks for the video, looking forward to when we get to this stage, and start melting in the spring. Your videos are a great reference. Merry Christmas 🎄
Big Boys need Toys also! Happy Holidays!!
You can sell your magnetics to blacksmiths and knife makers for pretty decent monies
Thanks for the idea Jordan!
Wow, so much value in the bound to the magnetics! I'd almost consider running a giant magnet over the sand and just smelting up that, didn't know this contraption existed, thanks for the video. Just got a new sub!
Another great informative vid, thank you, D
Thank you D🙌
New Subscriber here.. its because Your videos are really informative, and Easy to Watch!!. Unlike most tubers out there, that are tough to watch.. haha
Looking forward to your future vids....
Bravo!! Bravo!!....(the crowd goes wild)..Standing Ovation!!.. -"An Awesome Display of The Expansion of the Mind"!!.. -"Comparable to a Perfectly Choreographed "Brain" Ballet"!!.. Just in Time for the Holidays!!.. -"Masterpiece"!!-
Very interesting. So you would have 2 plus ounces of gold from your store of 5000 lbs of black sands. Worth doing when it's snowing out and not much else going on. Have you got the company name/phone number or was that an experimental unit? Thanks for the video
Hi Kim! Hope you have been well! Let's see; Minus the waste blonde sands we have an estimated 4,000lbs of magnetics and non magnetic heavies. 2 tons of that material should yield 44.66 +- grams of "precious metals". I am guessing that roughly half of the PM's are gold. With these assumptions, I come up with .718 ounces of gold and .718 ounces of mystery metal (likely silver and minor platinum group metals).
I gotta get a smelting rig going. I have black sand for days down here in New Mexico
It sure is fun! Thats a lot of material to smelt. Need to figure out a way upgrade the cons. Also, not all b.s. is created equal. Some is richer much is way less.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp
I don't know much about processing black sand. My gold cube washes most of it and I separated some magnetic from non magnetic. That's the extent of my expertise.lol
Colter is a very good friend of mine. He is not afraid to think outside the box. Awesome review there, I have several of his inventions myself. ⛏️⛏️⛏️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪🎄
Nice, he certainly is a very creative fellow! Heavy Pans!
Cool video looks like the Rollie Pillow definitely saved you a lot of time see you in the next one!!
It was definitely nice to be able to leave it running while I was off doing something else. Happy Holidays Tony!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Happy Holidays!!!
Interesting piece of equipment.
I'm pretty impressed with it. Hope to be putting some serious gold through it soon!
دمت گرم رفیق بابت راهنمایت
Thanks for showing us the new toy. Fun video, very well done.
My pleasure Mahatmadoo, It was fun experimenting!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp ,I've wondered about the values in magnetite/blacksands here in colorado for quite some time, and the conversations you have had with some of the other assayists in this thread concerning platinum group metals is bringing me back around to wanting to experiment with this. Thank you for piquing my attention again, I don't have nearly the amount of blacksand that you do, but I do want to do something with it instead of it sitting around the corner of the garage, or in containers stacked up on the side of the house!
Colter said to re-run the gold cons a second pass time through the Dry Seperator if you seen any magnetic left in the gold cons in the first pass . Great video Demonstration you made ( Thank you )
Thanks for the tip Fox!
Awesome video! I like your enthusiasm when it comes to this stuff. I wonder if you could crush that magnetite down and see if it's possible to liberate the precious metals before re-running it through the separator. Exciting results to find more value in the magnetite when smelting.
Absolutely! I was stunned and thrilled to find out that our magnetite contains so much precious metal values. Now, I just have more questions and testing to do. Crushing and reconcentrating is one possibility. The most efficient recovery may be to crush all of the magnetics and leach. Who knows! But I will find out!
Coulter mining magnates is a genius
That is cool! Need to get one! Wish it could handle a larger volume. Maybe he's working on one!
It is pretty slick. Sounds like he is currently working on a production scale machine!
Can you give me the link to the rollie pollie accessory pretty please and thanks!

Where to buy one??????
Did you send out for assay or are those numbers what you calculated in your own smelting process? I've found nearly all magnetite to carry some silver, and very little gold. Colorado is unique to having gold in magnetite. Always happy to see your videos - your content is inspiring :)
I calculated the rough values myself using pre smelt weight and final bead weight. Hammered them flat. Will xrf when I have one available. The non mag bead was silver in color. The mag bead was golden colored throughout so, would guess it's at least 50% gold.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp I have a idea I'd like to share with you. Do you have a email address? I don't use fb.
I told Colter I want one of those for Christmas I got a lot of different prospecting toys but I haven't got one of those lol Merry Christmas buddy let the good times roll 🤠✌️
Let the good times Roll e pollie, hahaa! Happy Holidays JC
@@ColoradoGoldCamp hahahah
What would you say is maximum size material this contraption is suited for?
In this test, I used 30 mesh. Looks like it could possibly do 12 mesh, will have to do some more testing.
It does fine with larger mesh size the only thing it wont be able to handle is larger Magnetic Rocks. They clog up the system. So in their as long as you don't have large Magnetic Rocks then you should be able to run 1/4 inch no prob.
Yup . You may just have some black sands hanging around. 🤔👍🏻😄😄
Hehe! I'm a black sands hoarder ;)
@@ColoradoGoldCamp infuckingdeed. 😄😄😄👍🏻 it's not a bad thing .
#2 Crucible was hotter than the Sun 😎
Scary Hot! I have to wear sunglasses during the whole process.
What camera do you use, I want one of them
This video actually contains footage from my cell phone, gopro 7 and 10.
Since your gold carries a iron hat i would have expected your BS to carry more in the magnetics. Have you ever considered any other collector while in the smelt? Sometimes, them old standards work, and sometimes they don't. Big world out there, explore the possibilities:) Great video! Nice work. Took 7 days to answer me, wow.
These particular concentrates come from a placer mine and are free from any eye visible gold. What kind of collector would you suggest I experiment with. Copper, bismuth, silver?
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Bismuth is much safer and you can get it in a lot smaller size. What i see happening is your lead is sitting on the bottom of your crucible, and your expecting the PM's to rain down through a boiling, gassy cauldron into your lead. Stirring may help but not near enough to attach the minute Au/Ag and possibly any Pd/Pt that may be in the sands. To be honest for my real fine assays i use AgCl3 as a collector. But you can't use a clay crucible and the graphite ones you have to add an abundance of carbon to keep from attacking the crucible. Then you can just part it using a 20% HNO3 solution. You'd recover all your silver back plus what ever the weight difference and you'd have a nice black powder left that is easily retorted with your lead. Pay attention to the appearance of alligator like finish on your bead, black unmelted specks, even onion skin textures are a dead give away of one or all of the Platinum group sisters. Colorado especially. Been there, done it. May all your days be golden. Always wanted someone to pass my knowledge on to before i cross the river. I'm impressed with you, your not afraid to try, to extend your bounderies so to speak. I'll be watching and sharing whatever i can.
@@richardbeee Great information, thank you Richard. I don't currently have a functioning indoor shop space so, have done minimal chemical work. A few of my beads definitely have an alligator scaly like finish. I was suspecting pgm's but have not had them analyzed yet. How efficient do you think litharge is at capturing pm values in larger than standard assay style smelts? I'm assuming that its higher melting point is of benefit because when it does liquify it will in theory capture more pm's on its way to the bottom of the crucible? What state do you live in?
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Hey, been away for a bit. Got a lab of my own:) Litharge is an excellent collector. It's in a finely divided state, so when you "charge" your flux it covers more surface area. However, factors to consider, size of cupel? Length of time to cupel? Fuel consuption? These all play a roll. I like the sound of the alligator/fish scales. Do you or can you use a microscope? If you have access to one look at your bead through it, paying particular attention to the underside. Black specks? Indicator of Rhodium. It is almost always associated with ultra- basic rock. Like ironstone. So are the rest of the PGMs. In Searchlight, NV i found that Pd was the alloy with the gold. For years people thought it was silver:) It pays to research. Only believe half of what you hear. Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. I live in AZ. West coast.
Mighty fine pilgrim ..😁pip pips
I'll tell you how to find gold quicker buddy. Easy.
Hook up a metal detecting device to a conveyor belt and when gold is detected in the rubble being scan.. it either kicks that portion out or stops immediately for you to retrieve it.
Place a square metal detector over top of the conveyor just above the rubble and make the conveyor stop if the metal detector goes off.
Sounds cool to me.
Ya gotta keep em seperated
New theme song? hehe
@ColoradoGoldCamp I have access to unlimited yards of ribbed matting (42 inches wide and can be cut up to around 40 yards long). The groves of the matting run long ways, not side to side. It comes in black.
I was thinking if you knew where small river/stream was and you stretched out a piece of this ribbed material from each side of the stream and anchored it down well.. then wait till after the first heavy rain OR stand up steam from it and direct the gravel materials over it. If you put it at a slight angle in the stream all the fine materials would slide to one end of the blanket/ribbed material.
In other words from over head it would look like a giant sleuth box.
I'd like to discuss this further with you.
That's a lot of ribbed matting! In theory it should work, I have come across a few similar contraptions in the field. I am aware of only 1 that worked a charm.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp Seems to me there's 2 different ways for use.
Once you learned how to anchor it on the flow side (which I believe a long rod threaded thru the flow side like a shower curtain would work best?). Several workers could rake material from up stream over it And if mat was placed at a angle the fine material would slide to one end of it (?). Another way would be to set it up and just leave it until after a few good rains.
Either way I think it would be worth a try. If you're interested and know how big of a piece would work best for you let me know and I'll send it.
Another thing I was thinking what you could do with it is make some type of gold traps with it. In other words take small lengths and place them near where the water steps down (small step falls).
If it all fails, well then you still have some great rib material for your sleuths.
Think about it and let me know.
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp I keep thinking about this, sorry for another comment.
I was picturing this ribbed material securely fastened to a metal plated shape (not sure off hand what shape would work best). Then I pictured where the ribs run to the edge there was a trap that caught all the fine gold into it (maybe a nylon netting of some sort or enclosed container that material would slide into (not sure). Next fix a poll to the bottom of it so you could shove it down in place And make the square so it would spin on the poll.
So now you have a square/triangle/circle (?) looking device with matting on it spinning freely directly on top of a sandy bottom stream. As the water flows over it (taking materials with it) any fine gold would land on top and then slide thru the groves and into a trap of some sort.
I can picture this but not sure if its still a workable idea. Sounds good though..lol. I'll keep thinking.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp A plated like cage over top of the ribbed rubber would secure it in places over a great length (like you do in a sluice).
I like watching videos of prospectors removing that kind of crap from rivers. Please don’t do that to any stream, river, or waterway otherwise…
Iron mining now? Side gig!
Boooya! hehe, I will actually be using some of the magnetite for a solar mass project.
I googled the price of black magnetite sand per ton and google said it was worth roughly $200.000 per ton! Just saying.
Hmm, interesting Keith!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp I'm thinking they use it for landscaping! I hear that people will pay a premium for that black sand.
Throw a piece of cardboard down on your pedestal before you set the crucible the furnace and it won't stick. Furnace tender of a non-ferrous foundry for years.
quite a commercial
Testing and demonstrating, thanks Joe.
He who smelt it....
