although I'd never buy a bag of ore...I still watched the whole video. I blame you for giving me gold fever.
Thanks Colin Bostic for watching!
Anyone want to buy some shitty rocks from my drive, I think there might be gold in them 🤪, great vid once again
Thanks respectanimals2 for watching!
The entire time he was cranking that vice I was thinking "I can't wait to see how this ends up working out he probably has a trick to keeping it from doing what everybody's thinking will happen because if it just sprayed gold ore everywhere he would have edited it out so as to not look...forest gumpish" and then pow rock spray.
I figured that’d happen and knew it would look awesome on camera
@@Klesh hahaha kinda like that time I knew my guitar player smashing his guitar on camera would look cool! It did.
@@moxiemcmahon I hope you didn't make it a regular feature, or you're a stadium band and can afford to sacrifice a Strat every night. Back when The Who beat up their equipment on stage it cost them more than they were earning at the time.
.
The neighbor from downstairs must be the guy with iron balls: his neighbor from upstairs is dissolving mercury in Nitric acid at the balcony. Granted, occasionally he hits jackpot: dropped pickers and paydirt dust from upstairs :)
just saying 😹😹
I've done enough research on this seller and your result adds to the same conclusion that the research led to... 😠 Great video thanks
Thanks Chris Saucier for watching!
Hey I love you’re videos! I don’t really care if there isn’t gold but it’s just so entertaining watching it and seeing if there is any. Keep it up and don’t stop, no matter what people say!
Thanks kfk 1012 glad you enjoyed it!
Same
The patience you have is amazing...
🙏⛏
Dang you put a ton of work into this video Klesh. We appreciate the work done. Thx dude! Till next time.
Thanks David R. Butcher glad you enjoyed it!
I always enjoy you videos Man. Ty for sharing
Thanks Paul Howard glad you enjoyed it!
Can someone help me with some questions?What's the diference between the mineral of gold and the metal gold?Are the same thing in diferent state?you melt the mineral to get the metal?is it the mineral called the "gangue" and it is waste?and you only get the gold that is in solid metalic peaces?thank!sorry for my ignorance but i'm confused and i really want to understand this
There are different ways to extract gold from sulfide, free mill and telluride ores. It's a long subject but some ways are roasting followed by cyanidation to extract gold from telluride ores, froth flotation, even the use of microorganisms to extract the metal from the sulfur in sulfide ore. free mill gold ore can be crushed and panned.
I've been thinking about buying gold ore and processing it myself just for something different. I appreciate the video.
Thanks Corey Gilles for watching!
I wouldn’t do it. Hopefully you did not
That was one HAIL of a storm
I agree 5280 Adventures, and thanks for watching!
Have you ever tried doing that to one of those bags of gold or that you buy as a souvenir
looks like fun but i’ll stick to panning for the time being. thanks for sharing! 🔥🐉
Thanks Silver Baggins glad you enjoyed it!
Cool video. I want to buy a small rock crusher and go around to the mine dumps. You know when they were popin they didn't give a S*** about anything but rich stuff. Maybe around little Baby Doe's cabin. Next month in the off season. Well as soon as these people let go.
Good Idea Jason Huggins! Thanks for watching!
man I was hoping you would find more or at least enough to try their 1,000.00 100lbs bag I had just come across it on Amazon and figured I would scroll through and see if you had reviewed them.
nice vid...great walk through....seemed like alot of work for the end result. Tbh, when i seen the company name ..i wasnt too hopeful...got a 4lb bag of paydirt that didnt produce well...tons of dirt and sticks and rocks....but hey ...they can't all be winners i guess.....thanks again for your time. keep em coming...shouted ya on my last vid also....
Thanks AG Price glad you enjoyed it!
I've always been curious about gold ore. I'm just not set up to properly extract the good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brandon Curry for watching!
Can I reuse the mercury to catch gold on another batch?
Not if you dissolve it with nitric. Make sure you squeeze as much as you can through a paper towel to recycle your mercury, otherwise it's gone for good. Thanks for watching!
klesh has really great videos.
Shane where did you get the metal cup that you crushed the ore in?
I found it at a thrift store, figured it might come in handy.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks melvin j needing moore silver for watching!
Looks like you had one heck of a hail storm! Good video looks like a lot of work for little to no pay off.
I agree GingerInJapan, and thanks for watching!
"I don't even think it's gold to be honest"😆
Thanks anyway, I learned a lot. I didn't realize I could process the gold with mercury in my tumbler.
Glad I could help!
Very informative video. Now we know how to prepare ore to be processed. Now to find the right ore. Thanks.
Thanks, yeah it's a lot of work with hand tools but still a fun process. Thank you for watching Joel
KleshGuitars wouldn't miss any of your videos. Hey, I found two silver dollars in the bottom of a trash can at a local car wash. A 1800 liberty and a 1922 peace dollar. Could not believe it.
Wow
Well done!.
Thanks Brother Brandon; HeteroSexual glad you enjoyed it!
Great try Klesh! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks Weasel 6Three glad you enjoyed it!
What the hail was that? Lmao
Awesome video!
Good luck 🍀
Thanks for this
Thanks Digging Scotland's Past for watching!
You live in Colorado? That's awesome, glad I ran across your channel today. Im from Colorado and saw your video when you went to Arapahoe Bar in Golden and decided to come to your recent video to comment so you'd have a better chance of seeing my post!
Hey I hope you had good luck our at Arapahoe Bar! I'm sure you found some gold, it's always a good time out there. Thanks for watching!
KleshGuitars had no luck. Im a amateur and probably lost some while panning
It's possible, sorry to hear that. I do have a video where I do a quick panning lesson. Check out this video at the 9:30 mark. ua-cam.com/video/uaEV_5AzBPY/v-deo.html
I hope this helps!
you would not believe the hand powered crusher, I designed and built over the last 3 days in my spare time! 1/4 inch is a thing of the past! talking dust!
Nice!
You have to use boiling sulfuric acid and water half and half and a beaker, it dissolves all base metals from iron to zinc and aluminum, and then you have to wash it all and put it in a furnace with Lye or Caustic soda 3/4 material and 1/4 lye, and you'll have a button of precious metals left in the crucible. Most furnaces needed range $300-400
All I saw was a 0 .10% recovery of lead from a wasteful process.
Sounds like ya need a whole lot of money and time plus a processing plant and safety gear to recover a few thousandths of a gram of gold. Might make a good video for the future thanks for the idea
Pyrites usually host the gold in Colorado ores. Aqua regia or acid/ bleach (hypochlorous acid) , along with stannous chloride could be used to test.
I agree Jay Hanes, and thanks for watching!
Flexicone new leaching technology. For the processing of refractory gold-bearing refractory and sulfide ores, Flexicone has developed a unique enrichment technology.
The technology includes the processes of ultrafine grinding and oxidation of sulphides, extraction of released gold and platinum group metals by centrifugal concentrators and leaching of gold, silver and palladium.
Nice!
You should run your Garrett carrot over them before you crush
Good Idea Linda Palmer! Thanks for watching!
i own a mining company and i do know what im doing, stay Protected, thank you.
Thanks Tony Mihovilovich for watching!
Tony Mihovilovich Congratulations
Have you ever tried to get any gold out of the quartz from other paydirt? I'm thinking about trying in some of mine but after seeing this it may not be worth the effort.
Yeah, it's always such small amounts though. At least in my experiences with crushing quartz.
Now I know not to do rocks. Do u think if they had a garett Carrot they might check them before they pack them so not to send the good rocks. Just a thought good video keep them coming love them all
I believe that could be true. I'd at least throw in a "for sure has gold in it" rock in the bag. That would at least make my time worthwhile. At least now we know what's in that bag, right?
Hey Klesh I got a bunch of gold ore can I mail it to u and work something out?
I like the way you think.USE THE TOOLS YOU HAVE. You still end up with the same result CRUSHED.
Hahaah yep!
Oh, forgot to say - loved your vid Shane, really enjoyed the whole process. Do it again, tho with ore from someone else. Cheers
Good Idea 2Qwk2C! Thanks for watching!
Can you try this “1970 Ferguson prospecting panning kit pan 100 mg real gold included”? It’s on eBay. Great channel btw.
I took a look at that item and it looks pretty cool! It says it contains 100 milligrams of gold and also some fool's gold (pyrite). I don't think I'd crack it open since it's a vintage item and I'd hate to destroy it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Your videos are good because you show when you get nothing or barely anything. Which is the typical experience. Lol. Hey klesh I watched a video of you prospecting NYC jewelers district and it gave me an idea. My local mall has a jeweler guy that grinds and custom makes jewelry outside of the store every 3 months. I am so gonna get a dust buster and try to get some gold. Like you said it's not about profit, it's about having fun. Lol
So true!
"Saying, you got some gold, but you want some more, well get yourself some pyrite, and roast you up some ore".
-J.W.
Thanks Mitchell Albrecht for watching!
Thank you for uploading this I have some gold and copper ore
Thanks Nathan Desmond for watching!
so where would be the best place to get genuine gold ore online? thanks
I'd contact a real gold mine and just ask.
With the variety of tools you use in your vids I'm surprised you don't have a contact with a small road-roller than could crush ore for you in seconds. Wouldn't a garden lawn-roller work? Just need something flat and tough to crush it on that keeps fragments from getting away. Crushing it in a vice might work better if you put it in a tough cloth bag first - you could turn it inside out to recover smaller fragments and dust.
Have you ever tried recovering gold from sea water? There have been all sorts of claims made about its content. Best estimate I could get is that recovering one ounce of gold would require processing 30 million pounds of sea water. Not too bad if you can automate it and the energy and chemicals used are cheaper than rain - leave it running on a quiet bit of coast and check it every 5 years or so.
.
I prefer to keep it small scale, i did order a small crusher for future use.
When they realized you were down the road they paid for shipping, they didn't want you coming back complaining about the garden variety rocks they sold you! They got the review they deserve!
Well, if there was any gold in it I would've gotten it. They ust gave me roadside gravels (which I can find everywhere in Colorado anyway) thanks for watching
I here God Bowling in the background..........I think He dropped the ball with that loud boom.
I agree Erna Bueing, and thanks for watching!
Couple suggestions:
Use a hammer to crush it.
Crush it finer
Build a furnace (not that hard)
Use some fire assay flux
If there's gold to be found that'll do it
And get some better PPE. I know there's rarely a drive to use it, but it really does save your bacon long term.
PS: for those who are upset there's no gold, a couple points to consider, firstly that was not anywhere near a proper way to process hard rock minerals. Secondly, just as with the miners themselves, there's never a guarantee of anything. 80% of your dig might be useless, and only 10% or less is actually valuable.
Thanks for the comment. If you watch the video linked in the description, it shows the process and all relevant safety info that I excluded from this production. Thanks for watching!
You say this was not anywhere near a proper way to process hard rock minerals. I disagree, unless you do it a completely different way and you don't understand what I am doing. I work with the tools I have, and the chemical extraction (shown in detail if the linked video) is correct.
KleshGuitars well I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong, but when dealing with hard rock(ore) the process, even industrially goes something along the lines of dig the rock, crush it to a fine powder, add flux, melt, then you should have your end product. Then for a better chemical process, like industry and myself uses in copper mining, is soak the ore in acid to dissolve and absorb the metals, then refine the chemical via electrolysis. Just tips for in case you keep up the ore game.
Hey have you thought about making a video about making a homemade rock tumbler from a used can opener motor and wooden dowel rods and sealed metal ball bearings?
No i haven't, i just use the little red one I found at a yard sale for $5.
Must be nice. Ive yet to find a working one at a yard sale.
I agree Leafbinder, and thanks for watching!
why you did not try cyanide extraction method after crushing stones into dust?
I don't know how to do that
That was a great video, you did a great job crushing it all , what a load of effort, it was worth it though for the video, the whole experience had left me smiling like a Cheshire Cat, not sure why, I think it’s because it was completely barren after all that, I don’t think I’ll be buying any, lol, 😜🌴🌵⛏🦂
Thanks respectanimals2 glad you enjoyed it!
My mom brought ‘gold ore’ and all it was was rust painted marble chunks or rock. She swore up and down it was real but I scrubbed the paint off and showed her the rocks.
I can also show you how to take the pictures of gold ore and tell before you buy ,like ebay pics and how you can use this app in the field to spot gold in a river ,outcrop or in the ore immediately,even if its micro gold no lugging back buckets of worthless ore
Thanks Patrick Galloway for watching!
Not much out of that packet. Would you do that one again if it was a different company?
I'm open to all suggestions, thanks for watching!
KleshGuitars im thinking of getting into prospecting and watched your video on the "nugget bucket" I live in Ireland and panning for recreation is still allowed. Would you suggets the nugget bucket as a starting point?
I would personally start with a shovel, classifier and a pan. It's much cheaper and will give you good practice on panning. You'll need to learn panning anyway so just get yourself a Garrett Super Sluice pan first. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video too bad there wasn't gold but always fun.
Thanks tim karge glad you enjoyed it!
How about put the rock in a plastic bag when using the vice?
But...that would make sense
too bad no gold, never know sometimes with anything though i guess... hit or misss! thanks for the vid klesh
Thanks JP’s Canadian Adventure for watching!
One thing you need to find out is this free mill gold or sulfides. Because you need to process each it own way. What you did works for free mill gold. On the website I could not find any real type of ore it was. Also say if there is 2 troy ounces per ton, in the ore then the rest is barren of gold. Unless pulling super high grade stuff, chances in that 400th of a ton is very small, a 15th of a gram or 0.15g would be a correct number at the high end of recovery. I can not say if this was bad or good, but an experience.
I based this on five pounds of ore.
Thanks Richard O'connor for watching!
I saw sulfides on almost every piece of ore. Sulfides are not like gold at all. The molecular structures are very different and to yield gold from these pieces, Mercury will not work. I recommend that you read up on gold sulfides and you will se what I mean.
How about trying that Jeff Williams and Slim paydirt.
I tried a few months ago but they were sold out.
I bought a pound of pay dirt from Constellation Mine at ebay and the results were amazing, I got 8 lil' chunky nuggets for only $20.00
Nice!
That’s..interesting man😊
Thanks cedwardk for watching!
Cool video. It doesnt look like it is worth the effort. The regular paydirt looks better. Did you happen to get the mail I sent? Not sure if it got to you or got lost in the mail. Thanks for sharing, GL and HH. Eric
I did receive your package and I'll be sure to feature it and your UA-cam name in a video once I get enough together for a production. Thanks TNT!
Great video kleshguitars
Thanks gixxer man11 glad you enjoyed it!
Cool flatearth shirt👍👍👍
Thanks The Space Force Channel for watching!
Expensive bag of rocks
Very cool video. But man not even enough for a soda pop or mash potatoes. O well, on to the next hunt.
I agree Oscar's Collection, and thanks for watching!
Methinks this guy took rocks from his driveway and passed it as gold ore.
I agree mcbillygoat !, and thanks for watching!
I really hope one day you find a hole lot of gold so you can do more sweet videos for us
Well, was a learning experience for sure, as said before. Too bad there were not much gold in the samples. Good thing you didn't go with the 1K $ package.
I agree HDshovelEd, and thanks for watching!
Hey Mr 🐶... long time...
the only thing that I can think of that you did wrong was.....
Purchasing that shite! LOL.
Did you hear about the guy in Scotland recently,,, he found the biggest nugget in a hundred years ! About the size of a golf ball! Sweet! Hope for me yet.
Yeah I saw that, pretty nice! Thanks for stopping by Black n tan!
🐶👍
HAHAHAHA Yeah, hey, gumball, you should go buy the 1000 bag and see what ya get!
Good for mixing with cement. Build a wall.of ore hymmmm
you can buy 5 bags sand in hompdeepo and you can faund more gold in them then in this gold ore
That is correct, I found more in 3. ua-cam.com/video/3zZzR6jvXOk/v-deo.html
Greetings, If you may be interested and know about sulfide gold ore I would be more than happy to send a free sample.It is very high grade assayed @ 25 oz per ton.Also I could send some pictures to give you an idea what it looks like.I do have a lot of this ore and why am I offering, because I am not experienced with processing. Thanks David
Sure
@@Klesh my email is davidavey66@gmail.com If you have po box or address I will send a great sample of ore that I'm sure you will like.as I said some pictures as well but pictures usually don't do it justice.
Ok, well my po box address is in the description of every video, just be sure to leave a note / your youtube name etc.. to get credit if it's used in a video. Thanks!
Well it happens Shane, to us all Try the Platinum test on it. A good paydirt Try find the line prospecting on eBay prospector Bob. Very down to earth guy. Pan on All
Will check it out thanks Sean
i dont know if this is the company i recommended.. if it is,,, im sorry .. i just dont understand why companies would do this..how can they possibly stay in business..
doc johnny
sicily and congo
Don’t worry about you just saved a lot of people’s hard earned money
$1000 for 100 lbs of driveway rocks or $25 for 1 lb of useless rocks that don’t even look good.
It's all good, just another video to help save people $$
@@Klesh thank you brother. That company is not on the level. You would think they would have sent you a loaded bag knowing your a prospecting UA-camr.
cause they have the gold lol
Great video to bad ore was worthless to everyone but the guys selling it whatever you do dont pursue the the 1000 dollar load can you just imagine going through that kind of quantity and coming out with nothing I don't know how those people can sleep at night I guarantee you every Rock that leaves their hands was checked with a metal detector
i agree with you jason, first he ordered paydirt from amazon, he should have used a metal detector for some gold, i wrote the protection of what not to do , and he got made at me saying to people what not to, do? why make a fool out yourself about what not to do>? i found more gold in fines in home depot play sand. ordered 1 pallet of sand through a sluice finding 4 .27 oz of gold in it, make sure the bags are from ca, az, nv, co, area, mostly ca, co.
also i went digging on dirt that they removed for the hill side before they install a ramp on a freeway, or shoulder work,
It's possible!
Geewizzers mr klesh .. i think dusty mustys takin ya to the cleaners .. sharpen and fletch the arrows ..we attack at dawn ...(scared of dark )...😁pip pips and carryon
I don't understand any of that
@@Klesh he sent ya a lemon ..😁
Don't know if you watch meminer but he got some great techniques to extract gold from rocks.using vinegar and acids which I can't remember what kind.go check him out.he's really funny too!!
Thanks Rastaman Ralph for watching!
quartz is a good thing. it's how the gold was brought to the surface of the planet from the core
that's interesting, could you elaborate more on this for me? i tried finding out about this google and nothing came up. or help point me in the direction of websites holding more information on this
It takes a ton to get a gram or two,Dan herd could show you,nice try though!😎
Ores of metals don't usually have the pure element within them. Rarely you'll find actual pieces of the metal. Often the ore is a different 'version' of the metal itself. Like commonly copper ore is copper oxide so needs to be processed according to the compound. So it's possible you may have a form of gold oxide or other, in which case you'll need to process it differently. This is just what I know and so may account to what you have but I hope I was of some help. Good luck!
Klondike BOI gold is highly nonreactive. It shouldn't oxidize or react with anything in nature, as most things in nature are not highly concentrated enough to react with gold.
Calvin Fiebich but it might be an alloy
Thanks for your feedback. I was just applying my knowledge of ore smelting to this situation though I may not be correct. I have now done some research into this and found that you are correct so thank you.
shelbyvcobra yes but metals don't often alloy in nature though this is possible
Thanks for the comment. Mercury would amalgamate any gold so this wouldn't be an issue. Thanks for watching!
Heck of a hail storm you guys had. Wish it was better gold quantity but great video.
I agree Debie Baugher, and thanks for watching!
Do you still do guitar repair?
Not at the moment
Look at the result this way.
Decent (not great, but decent) ore will produce 1-2 grams per ton. You bought a pound of dirt, that's 0.0005-0.0010 grams of gold. That's probably about what you got.
Wow. They are still selling this on Amazon.
You have quartz, flourite and pyrite, then you have gold. At least according to the tour guide in Creed, year 2000.
Maybe time to invest in a jaw or disc crusher?
Oh, and what's the word on the Ore of the Month Club?
Not sure I didn't really look into it.
Well maybe if I end up doing lots of hard rock mining, then yeah I'd invest in a chipmunk crusher and even a small hammermill crusher and a pulverizer.
am i the only one who saw the bright flash at 3:56 ? im guessing it was lightning
you should get a crazy crusher
I agree Jason Rasmussen, and thanks for watching!
What good will rinsing the ore do if your camera is focused on the pan the whole time? 🤦♂️
Who knows lol
👍👍👍👍
shame no gold...maybe try a company that has conglomerate mix...?? good luck next time...n nice video as usual...
Thanks J Shiloh Shea for watching!
if this is the company i recommended.. they say it is conglomerated from a dozen mines with ores from 20 to 212 g/tonne..im very sorry if its the one i was going to try..thats just ridiculous
No problem I'm open to all suggestions and debunking one company at a time in videos for all to see. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
great video alot of work for nothing.I will steer clear of those guys . Thanks
Thanks Mike Walter for watching!
Bro that is Home Depot quartz gravel.
Some people say this is not a reputable seler. I do not know if this is true or not. Hoever you can't add a given amount of gold to gold ore. If they joust put ore in a bag you might find nothing or a big piece.
They don't guarantee a minimum gold amount, so in my book MAJOR RED FLAG
Glad you didn’t pay for shipping, that would’ve just added insult to injury.
I agree Stackzilla, and thanks for watching!
A lot of times you can't see the gold. But it's there
There are other chemicals that work better and faster than Mercury
