- Part two of How To Find Gold series. In this video Jason continues working with the rich gold ore he prospected from his new gold vein. First taking the rich gold quartz ore it is crushed through a jaw crusher and then Jason looks for gold in quartz samples. The remaining ore is ground to dust through a vibrating ball mill and then panned and run on a shaker table. The gold is removed from the final gold concentrates pannings and smelted down to recover a pure precious metal bead. By knowing the starting weight of the ore and the final weight of the gold a calculation is made for how much gold there is in a ton of rock.

Hi Everyone. Lots of people have asked about the wood in the background in a few of the shots. Check out my other channel here for all my wood/logging projects: ua-cam.com/channels/TdPTXTKNC0BzFK9n1SmbbQ.html
really interesting video. thank you
hello
I saw that thats pretty cool. Make me a small shaker table with the wood 😜
What do you think about using shapes like M&M balls, or equilateral pyramids, or large and small balls at once?
These videos gives one an appreciation of just how much work it takes to produce an ounce of gold. Not as easy as it sounds.
Or two ounces
Run a pin-pointer or larger metal detector over the table of crushed rocks and you will get a quicker find of any gold.
Use your processing time wiser with the right tools!
Since you are taking a separate step of searching the quartz pebbles - I seriously would have done that on a wood table then used a metal detector and a pinpointer.
Always love your new videos - seem to learn something every time. Thanks.
I thought the same thing.
Jason: I would be very wary of the 56 grams/ton analysis. Not because you did anything wrong or because of a math error, but because when I watched the previous video, you only took the best-looking samples back down the mountain with you.
Those samples undoubtedly were 56g/ton, but the vein as a whole is unknown and probably a lot lower. 60 years ago when I took analytical chemistry about half the course was spent on sampling.
Great videos by the way.
That's exactly what I was thinking. This isn't a random sample so to speak.
Isn't that kind of a wash? Sure, it was the best-looking samples, but they also came from a discarded tailings heap.
@@user-lb8do4ew6k I thought he knocked the samples directly from a formation in the side of the mountain.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 He did..
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 yeap, you're right. My bad..
I thought he was hoping those surface samples would be roughly representative of the veins underground.
You definitely have the best videos in explaining things best and showing how things work best ...
Outstanding way to start my morning with a cup of coffee and mbmm and Jason. Great content!
Thats how I ended my day!
Heck yeah
That was very interesting. Now I know why gold is so valuable. Hauling a ton of rocks down a mountain is just the beginning. Wait, climbing the mountain to see if there is gold is the beginning. Wait, killing the crazy old guy to get his map is the beginning.
Thanks for the video....seems like an awful lot of energy goes into making these videos for us to witness. thank you for doing what you do we appreciate it!
That slab of quartz with the specks of gold would sell in rock shops in Colorado for about $200.00 , if the gold was confirmed.
I would expect a better result from the tube mill could be obtained by using mixed size media (3", 2.5", 2", 1.5", and/or 1"). That would allow the smaller media to fit the gaps inherent with the larger media and result in a more uniform result from the crushing. Also, loading your mill with about 25% solids you get better life from the media and more uniform crushing. Here is a good rule of thumb:
The starting point for ball mill media and solids charging generally starts as follows:
* 50% media charge
* Assuming 26% void space between spherical balls (non-spherical, irregularly shaped and mixed-size media will increase or decrease the free space)
* 50% x 26% = 13% free space
* Add to this another 10%-15% above the ball charge for total of 23% to 25% product loading
Most solids will decrease in volume as the particle size is reduced, so you may have to add more solids and check the solids volume again after a few hours. Once the quantity is finally determined, you can simply load the mill with the total amount of solids during the initial mill charging.
Jason you are awesome . Hope you find some free gold too. 2 oz per ton is a great find ! You seem to have a huge amount of equipment. Have you any idea how much momey you have invested? I know you have to pay for electricity also. How much per ton does it take money wise? Operating costs. Plus wear and tare? Alot to figure out i know. As a small operation i assume you have to consider the costs. I assume you are doing well with the value of 2oz per ton. It must take some time to process a ton of ore also. Any idea of how long it takes to process a ton of ore? What do you do with your waste rock? There are tons of people in California who dont like miners. They say there mining messes with drinking water. I assume you dont have those regulations that plauge hard rock gold miners in California.
@Loyal
Yeah you’re right. He needs different sized balls to fill in the gaps created by the large balls and keep missing the pebbles that make it through.
What a great series! Loved seeing you get the ore straight from the source.
Been hanging for this follow up vid. Cheers Jason for taking the time to put this together.
Lazy rainy Sunday...
Fresh coffee...
MBMM video! Sweet!
Thank you Jason 👍
An outstanding amount of effort for less than $50 worth of gold. Cool to watch.
This is the morning content I needed. Love the channel and the knowledge shared. Waiting for more of your mine videos.
Love watching and listening to your knowledge. Thanks for doing what you do!
Cool video I love the smelting explanation , I wish I was not so old and broken down or I would be out banging rocks
You have the coolest job in the world! I would love to do this for a living!
Go to his website and apply for a job! 👍
there are still rocks because you need more time for the crusher todo its work. and btw it is still considered a ball mill weather it rotates or vibrates. put a small mesh screen on 1 end only about 20% so you can collect the dust and add more material ..
This is the first of your videos that I have watched. Very interesting and well explained. Thanks!!!
Thanks for all your efforts and teaching. Learning a great deal. We are all on edge these days but you are actually there in some videos and right at it! Keep it real in an unreal world
I would love to see you do a lot more videos like this. I love watching your videos! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Thanks for the tour. Super interesting and very informative. Your setup is awesome.
Thanks for making the great videos Jason. Always looking forward to latest.
Another GREAT video Jason! Learning so much here!
I posted on one of your other videos a long milling process where I worked in a gold mine mill. We had two ball mills that 10 men could fit inside. Attatched to each ball mill we had clarifiers that would allow the "talc" fine type ore through. The rest was returned by conveyor belt to pass through the ball mill again.
This is an awesome video, so much in it. Your time and knowledge is invaluable.
Why you don’t have more views and comments is strange.
Thanks Jason for the show,great work.
Your videos are very enlightening. Thank you for all the great information and tutorials on hard rock mining! 👏🙏👊⛏⛏
Thanks watched both videos... definitely learned something and enjoyed watching... thanks 👍🏻
Outstanding start to finish!
cool to see the follow up on this series of videos Jason thanks for posting :)
That was very interesting! Great video, very informative and just what I am looking into right now! Thanks for the awesome content!
Wish I lived near you.
I'd love to have a good friend like you.
Super smart and know how to make value from nature while still preserving nature.
Jason your a good person man.
Wow...that was super informative! Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to seeing you work that spot some more!
Another great video on a fascinating process.Darn near mesmerizing. Thanks
Jason, just a couple of observations. 1. A mix of sizes of balls will eliminate your rounded stones. 2. Almost no iron staining in your original samples so I suspect all your metal filings picked up by the magnet were parts of the tube wall and balls. 3. Visible gold in quartz is far more valuable as jewelry than as gold dust. 4. High grading (selecting promising rock) destroys any ounces per ton consideration of the mine, itself. I always enjoy your tenacity. Keep up the good work.
You need to weld those nuts on the back of the flange of your tube mill. So you don't have to use two tools to remove the bolts.
Or just thread the thing. then you have no need for nuts.
Jason you are the man! I really enjoy your videos.
Very Interesting and fun to watch. You did a fine job in description and your knowledge kept my wife and I following along like a tutorial. Thanks for sharing your journey and we look forward to more of your explorations in hopes of you hitting the mother load. Peace
I always enjoy your work. Thank you for sharing
Looking inside the vibrating tube was one of the most mesmerizing things I’ve ever seen
Enjoyed watching your videos, Thank you.
Luv your presentations 💜
Love this show ! Did this stuff in Baker Ca.
This guy is a no-nonsense hard worker. My kind of people.
Very informative vids for us novices out here to learn from.
Thanks for all the info!
Congratulations! Every little bit helps! Good luck. 👍
Hi Jason ,thank you for the informative vedeos I personally really learn alot .
Good times right there! Thanks for your efforts!
You are one strong and hard working dude..
very interesting, great information and thank you for sharing, knowing how to spot gold veins is definitely an asset.
Hi!
I'm here thanks to Ghost Town Living.
I decided to look on your channel and first thing that I saw was searching for gold... that's EPIC! I love that kind of stuff, and I really enjoyed watching both parts of finding and melting it. That gold piece in quartz looked very cool, if I was there I would just put that quartz with gold on my shelf :D Few weeks ago there was my "debut" in finding some small quartz crystals here in Poland, nothing spectacular but I was very happy with all small thing that I was able to find.
Greetings!
I think, that perhaps, keeping the sawn slabs might sell really good at the flea market/holiday craft shows type of thing, …
Great video Jason thanks
Great video again 👍 great information ℹ️
What a ton of work for such a small amount of gold. Very informative, thank you.
Awesome video. Thank you very much. Very informative...
Nice to watch the process
Looks like some valuable samples from your prospecting location. Hopefully more comes from it. Thanks!
Awesome video learned alot!!!
We want more videos from this mine 👍👍 great little journey we're on
Great video Jason!
thanks for all your effort great video
That’s a stellar assay value. Nice man.
Great video man thanks for sharing. I like your turnkey system
Oh Man I learn a lot from your video. I going to be a long time fan.
Nice follow-up video 👍
Great video. I always learn something.
Nice! Looks like you got yourself a profitable mine location there! Thanks for the video.
Luv your channel bud.
Great video man 👍
Great video. Like getting to see the total process. I do something similar when spreading on the table but I use my little Falcon MD20 metal detector and it finds those very small pieces quite easily. Great work.👍
Did the iron deposit trip the sensor?
@@G4RR3TTJ yes they did. However on the Falcon, they read exactly opposite of what the gold does so it’s easy to tell them apart.
Hey Jason, you have some nice wood slabs behind you there buddy.
Check out my other channel here for all my wood/logging projects: ua-cam.com/channels/TdPTXTKNC0BzFK9n1SmbbQ.html
Excellent video!
The fine powder protects the smaller rocks once the ratio gets to a certain point.
I think your idea of letting the talcum powder size stuff flow out will solve that problem
excellent video Jason :)
enjoyed watching your video
Mate that cannon ball mill is a winner, you should mass produce small vrsions and small refining tables for computer scrap.....Be interesting to chuck 20 motherboards with RAMS in and see what comes out on the table.
So you're basically getting 1 dollar a pound for going up that mountain, hiking down 2000 pounds of rock, spending the next entire day extracting the gold from the rock. Then you have to take into account you equipment costs, wear and tear, up keep. I don't know Jason, I think fry cook at the local McDonalds is still a bit more profitable and less risky occupation, but I did enjoy watching the two video's on this operation.
Outstanding! Love your videos! Always an education and you have inspired me to bring my perspective on all aspects of prospecting and mining to my new channel! (Coming soon) But thank you for all the knowledge you bring in every video!
That was cool to see that little bead of gold in the cupel!
Love to see the tube mill in more details
Some beautiful Wood slabs 😊
Wow that’s a really cool to do find gold I’ve never thought of that.👍👍👍
I saw more gold right there in a piece right next to the rock that had gold in it! I wouldn't have given up so easy.. those small rocks needed another go thru of a hammer mill and ran thru your water shaker table to see what you found! 😉
As always awesome video
How to find gold Part 1 was great and I was glad to see you didn't tip yourself over and go bouncing down the cliff !! I hope you wore your safety glasses while you ran the ore through the jaw crusher. I've got pits in my glasses where chunks have jumped out and hit the lenses. Beautiful specimen in the slab !! Be sure to include smaller diameter balls in the media, down to at least .25 dia. of your larger balls - usually in a full time ball style mill/crusher the media breaks down over time and it's an eyeball magic type of estimate on the media size needed. If you are getting larger chunks, then a smaller media mixed in is indicated.
I really learned quit a bit watching this . I plan to put it to use. Thanks
That is so interesting I wish I had the knowledge and machinery to do this.
sho gots lotta quipment up in dat pacility ... luv the garbage can lid for collection and pan safety catch/water basin !
Excellent thank you 😊
Always a pleasure !
80$ a gram currently in CAD. And that was just the prospecting. Good find!
So much effort, time and energy required to process so much material and then arrive at such a small amount of Gold. If it pays out in profit at the end, I guess it's worth it.
Cheers Jason 👍🙂
To stop the chunks of rock coming out with the fine powder from the tube mill, add in some smaller diameter steel balls.
Very informative
Thank you.God bless
Jason...It is CRAZY scary how much we look alike...Like seriously! Could be brothers ,almost twins!
