- This is a video I put together to help out anyone who wants to build or use a miller table for fine gold recovery. I hope you find this helpful!
It would help me out if you could please hit that like button if you enjoyed the video!
Cheers,
and thanks for watching!
I will never pan for gold and will never need this knowledge. But I still watched the whole thing lol. Fascinating!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Gold is fascinating.
Thank you for making this look doable! Interesting to me also is your use of brushes. That level of detail is my comfort zone.
Love how meticulous you are with your videos! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I appreciate that!
The Miller Table that you have shown is what I will build for myself. Thank you for sharing with us.
You're welcome! I'm glad this was useful information that will help you out!
In one upper corner of the table, cut a small hole in the table. The size should be 3/4 of the width of a glass vial cap. Using a Dremel, cut out and deburr the top of the vial cap, leaving the threads. Attach the vial cap to the hole in the Miller table from the bottom. Now you can screw a vial into the cap, when you run your miller table you don’t have to snuffer anything up and change your angle, just brush the gold into the vial. When you’re done unscrew the vial and put another cap on it.
Sweeeeet! Nice Idea brother. Thank you!
I agree. That’s a good idea.
Alternatively, there’s the pivoting trough option too. Can be added to the end of your table for easy sweeping. Checkout Royal Manufacturing’s miller tables (they have a trough/catch built into their tables).
Love the upcycled Miller Table here @UtmostOutdoors! Nice clean up too! 🤙🏼
This is great I'm gonna make one,we got ultra fine flour gold here in Indiana,and when you get on a good spot you'll have lots of ultra fine black sand that is almost impossible to separate,ive been considering making one,and this sealed the deal thank you brother and nice pay streak your on there
Thank you, and good luck!
If Devon Larratt had a smart little brother this guy would be him.
Love these vids. This channel is waaaaay underrated. So many many actionable valuable tricks of the trade that actually work waaay beyond the original purpose.
I have taken so much from the channel and used it in a dry high desert dry washing scenario to my cleanups.
Awesome stuff my guy! Keep up the hood work!
Thanks for the kind words friend! I had yo Google Devon Larratt and found a video of him training with Jujimufu! Awesome!
I'm glad you find value in some of my videos, it's high praise to say my channel is way underrated. Much appreciated!
Great video. Answers a few questions I have about construction and operation
Great walkthrough. Helpful detail and explanations. I like your reasoning for why you chose the materials you did. Thanks for putting it together.
Glad it was helpful!
Great description of how a miller table works. Especially the concentrate. When magnified the blacks and blonds are hard and rounded and all gold is soft and flattened out. Surface contact area of the gold to the miller table is larger and specific gravity is heavier than the blacks and blonds. That causes more friction to surface for the gold the angle of repose is greater. There by gold stays and black and blonds move. Think of a round ball and sheet of plywood on a slope what moves first.
Thanks for the explanation Bart! Hope all is well friend!
Using a 35 power +/- microscope... a geologist describes sand grain roundness as: angular (sharp edged) to well-rounded (smooth edged).
Roundness indicates how well a sand grain resembles a sphere. Sub-angular, subrounded, and well rounded are the terms used to describe roundness.
Grain size sorting is described by : Well-sorted, (simular size), moderately-sorted and poorly-sorted.
When looking at/for precious metals under a microscope I use 360 power most of the time which gives a very good view of the composition of the sand grains.
400 power is about max and 20 power is about the minimum power to look at sand grains. The advent of inexpensive digital microscopes that go up to 1,200 power need to be tested.
As the size of gold gets smaller the difficulties in seperating gold particles gets more difficult to the point where mechanical separation gives way to a chemical separation process.
Panning above 30 mesh is relatively easy and below 30 mesh to 600 mesh is where things get much more difficult and require special consideration when seperating gold from wet sand.
Also gold desolves in water then reattaches to the edges of black and other sand grains making mechanical separation impossible.
A large commercial placer gold operation can expect to recover most of the operating costs from the gold values stuck in the black sand creating a substantial profit from the larger mechanically seperated pieces of gold.
Thanks to your comment now we know the secret to seperating ultra-fine gold from sand particles using a miller table!
Great content. I appreciate your tips
Dude! You build awesome stuff, that sluice worked incredibly and holy crumb the gold shimmered nice when you poured it on to the scale.
Really great vid man.🔥🙌
Thanks Andy! And thanks for the shirt, that's what all the viewers are really here for. Haha!
Tidy operation, well thought out and presented some excellent ideas. Cheers from Michael, Australia.
Thanks 👍
Once again i learned something new from u. The snuffer bottle trick was awesome to take tube out and have gold right there. 👌. Thanks for sharing, have a great week!
Thanks, I'm glad I was able to show you a new trick to try!
Thanks for everything . Well done
Very thorough explanation and great self build miller table thank you
Excellent as always!!! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
Sweeeeet. it's Miller time. I have been thinking about a miller table. yours looks great. Nice Gold.
Thanks 👍
Thank you for such an amazing video.
Appreciate the detailed video a lot, all the best yo 🤘✌️👍
Great work
you do a very nice job!
Thanks for the video👊
What a great informative video
Thanks!
This is one fine video. Thank you so much
You are very welcome.
Great video :) I been searching for a video on how to get to pure gold . Thank u .
Glad I could help
You do a GREAT video here. Great production values, sound is great. The content really Rocks. I need to spend a lot more time watching your channel. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas. Well done fella. Well Done. See Aussie Bloke Prospector for his vibrating sluice Modification for Mustard Gold Recover. Or ReCoovery on my case:) Thank you. Thank you once again. You Rock!
Thank you! Much appreciated! 🙏
excellent tutorial my good man
Glad it helped.
Great video!
Thanks!
looking good
fantastic video, many thanks, marc
Glad you enjoyed it
@@UtmostOutdoors youre welcome, im just getting started on gold hunting, cant wait to build all my own stuff, i have access to 100 acres of family farm, in tasmania, australia. in a known gold area
Awesome
This is the best channel on youtube
YOU'RE the best channel on UA-cam!
This was a good distraction on everything thañk you
Your life is perfect. I want to come to Canada and mine with you. You must be so happy.
My friend, I am very fortunate to be able to get out and mine when I do! But remember, UA-cam and Instagram only highlight the good moments. Everyone has boring or challenging parts of life that aren't fun and interesting enough to make a video about. Thanks for watching and I hope you find the gold you're searching for!
@@UtmostOutdoors I can’t imagine any part of your life is boring. Gold, jet boats, flying with your brother, hiking in Canada, camping, building structures in the ocean…the list goes on.
very good filming
Thanks!
Good job, Dude....
Hey, thanks
Always great videos!. I figure a gram exactly
❤nice
Nice beard man! :)
It looks like fun! But I live in an apartment and my manager would throw a fit if I had sluce boxes and water pumps inside.
Good
You can use magnets over a sluice to not only lift the iron containing stuff but to push down the gold. You've got to have the right edge closest though.
There is a video or two about it on youtube
NICE =)
Thanks 😁
Awesome!! New Sub here..
Awesome thank you!
83.43 USD value today.. not bad
Where did you get these custom weighing trays at 17:00 Kyle? Looks like they work well : )
I got them from petrocraft industries in Calgary. They are a lab supply store.
Hey Kyle..where did you get the metal trays for the gold weigh?..thanks!
I got them from Petrocraft Products Ltd in Calgary. I think they are called triangular examination trays. Might be able to find something similar from another geologist type store.
Have you thought of making a Miller table to sell? I like the size of your table.
Maybe one day... It would be cool to make a video about how to build one of these. We'll see how the sales go on my other products first. :)
Do you have a video of how to build a Miller Table ?
I don't have a video of this build yet, sorry.
Where do you get those trays that you used to weigh?
I get them from petrocraft products Ltd in Calgary. They call them examination trays.
✌👍
Might as well pan it.
A few dollars per gram. Is it worth all that ?
1.08 grams is my guess for the first weigh-in.
What kind of material did you say is the table?
The base for the table can be anything that is nice and flat. I used birch cabinet grade plywood. It has lots of plies and so it is very dimensionally stable and does not seem to warp.
1.32G
what is the angle degrees of the table ????
slope angle degrees
I'm sorry, I never measured the angle exactly. Next time I set one up I'll see what it is.
1.5 grams
0,95gram
why don't you just let it dry and sweep it into a container?
3 32ndths of an inch 😅😅😅 use metric
You have outdone yourself with this presentation - Thank You so much.
Swap Lives ?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation! Don't kid yourself my friend, UA-cam tells but a partial story. It highlights the lives we live, when in reality we ALL have our ups and downs. Don't be jealous if it looks like I'm out mining all the time, I'm often stuck home like the rest of us!
@@UtmostOutdoors Mate - your body , your outlook , your skills - just everything I see makes me wanna be you.
What's stopping me ?
Nothing that I can put my finger on.
Fear of failure perhaps - Laziness ? maybe.
I should work on this area of My Life and try to follow your example.
@@MohammedNovalija My friend, of all the motivational videos I've watched in the last year, the one that stood out to me the most, and the one that I think can really apply specifically here is this one: ua-cam.com/video/dKpVonyzA20/v-deo.html
Joey has a great way of approaching the classic motivational self help in a very real and down to earth way.
More ups than downs to you brother!
@@UtmostOutdoors Thank You for the heads up , and the Link.
I think I may have an idea of that I have allowed My Life to be overwhelmed by things that need to be done.
And I cannot choose what to do next because of so mant options , I end up not starting on any of them.
I go see what Joey can do for me.
