That is so great we have the ability now to find such small amounts of gold vs. back to what the old prospectors had..just their eyes!! Great seeing it like that! Thank you for sharing!!😊
I'd be curious to see you pan out or smelt down the rock saw waste. I'm sure there is a fair amount of gold in there, considering you're cutting through gold.
You're cutting through a couple millimeters of microscopic gold strings... You couldn't measure the weight if you collected it all... Unless you're cutting literal TONS of rocks through this you won't be losing too much.
Amazing my dad has that exact same 18" rock saw, I was just using it last week while I was on vacation visiting. He also has a 24" rock saw he is rebuilding, the bearings went out in it, and he gave me his old 10" rock saw that I brought back home with me here to Everson.
Your videos make me so restless to get out there and rockhound some more. Even if I don't find gold, That quartz is so pretty! I know I have some rocks like that, I bet there's little gold in it that would so pretty sliced!
Jason please get Cam of Blacktail Studio to make a end table or heck even a counter top if you had enough slabs & boy howdy would it be worth it's weight in gold 😉
Jason, get a small piece of sheet rubber, maybe four inches wide and 6in long or so and poke a couple holes in the narrow end and sticks some bailing wire through it and wire it to hang down just behind the tile saw blade like a Truckers mudflap. That way all that gold slurry you're spitting off the back the blade all over your workbench will hit that rubber and drop down into your trough and then you'll be able to pan that out later. Love your videos
Great video Jason. Love seeing the insides of rocks. I’m sure we’re all wondering how the mine development is going. Will this mine be a mine type that you only work I. The summer???? Absolutely enjoy everything your doing.
The dunite wasn't my favorite until I saw that piece that was by the edge and it is standing up and the back of it is really rough and craggie. The piece of Listwanite that you tried to make into a rectangle would have been the best for cabs. Its got some really pretty color and that crazy band of quartz is supper cool. I think I'm gonna have to invest in a tile saw, cause being on disability makes the rock saw a bit out of my budget.
When cutting to achieve square cuts, start with a cut. That cut edge then has to shoulder up to the vise perfectly. That will make the next cut at 90° to the first. You should get the picture now. Same with logs to lumber
With a lot of slab cutting and the gold that you’re seeing. After a year or so would it be worth reclaiming the rock dust in the bottom of the machine?
Cool video. Knowing the kerf of the blade creates a slurry, I wonder if that could then be processed and what it would yield? That’s a lot of gold and quartz basically made to powder during the cut. Probably won’t make you rich, but it could be interesting.
If you have an iPhone 13 Pro Max or 14 pro max you can do macro mode. I’ll usually turn the flash on, cover the lenses to make it dark enough for the flash to come on, start recording video and then get up nice and close. It’s seriously so crazy how close up it gets and the amount of detail is amazing! Just a tip if you wanna consider that!
Jason, there is a youtuber called hedron rockworks who makes beautiful gemstone dice. Could you colaborate with him on making a set of gold ore dice? That would probably be interesting.
I love watching this type of video. I recently got back from a gold and mineral prospecting tour of the Michigan UP and brought back some nice specimens that I am going to slab out as well.
Awesome video Jason. I love what you do with the rocks. The Dunite is beautiful I can't believe it's come from the centre of our planet that's awesome. I love how you cut that rock. Don't get to excited about Vo Gus he's well mostly let's say full of it.
Appreciate these cutting rock videos looking for gold. Dont get to see dunite, mariposite, or pyrrhotite and quartz rock here in the California and Arizona deserts much except at rock shows. So, thanks for the video. Love it when you cut into the bonanza grade gold ore from your mine...
It won't chip off at the end if you push pressure towards the blade with a rocks. Not a whole lot of pressure but a little bit. I've been in tile setter for 45 years
That small rock with all the gold and sulfides would look so cool polished or made into cabochons. You may not want to indiscriminately crush all the ore from your mine.
Hey Jason. You should get all the dust you've cut off of the rocks and the ore and send it out to a fan or auction it off the dust from your saws. You know there's gold in that dust dude
And it would be full of lead, arsenic, sulphites, mercury, and other contaminants. It would look cool yes, and might be functional as a desktop slab, but there’s a reason no one has used it for a counter top…
As allways, very interresting videos from you Jason. Another interresting thing i hope you will share with us, how much gold there is in the dustbin under the saw?
I’d love seeing gold down in my quartz too! Trouble is, all the quartz I’ve ever found, crushed down, and panned out didn’t have SQUAT. Didn’t see anything in it with my jewelers loop either… oh well. Guess I’ll keep lookin.. 😉👍
I had a buddy of mine go into Silver City and he got some samples brought them back. Use my rock Crusher and got everything out. But when he melted, it turned green.. Hymn and I were both wondering why it was green can you answer that
If anyone is wondering if a wet rock cutting diamond blade can cut your finger, Absolutely it can. Some types of blades are less likely to do so, although don’t ever test that, it can still cut you. Blades with even small teeth, or even a smooth blade with a small chip in it can cut you. Don’t test it.
It's crazy how your microscope Video shots Of the rock make it look like a distant planet as seen through a telescope. I guess that's the fractal effect.
Now the lube oil is contaminated with gold lol. Smeltng that would be awesome lol is there any way to recover that ? I get its not economical but still curious.
U definitely scored big time with your mine! Don't let it become a curse...pay attention to your family, too. That's usually the first casualty of gold fever! Justa reminder...been swept away myself...by a different different type of fever...but my husband had no interest in my hobby so he found someone who paid him the attention he craved. Just be mindful of the gold you had before, too. ⚠️
Was I an idiot? 2 nights ago looking at free stuff on Craigslist there was landscaping rock and the main photo was a monster big quartz rock about 2 - 4 cubic feet in size with one of those dark veins running through it. The first thing I thought was that looks just like what they look for in gold hunting videos. Holy shit! Problem is a recent heart attack, like last week. No way could I even lift it into the back of my Subaru. This thing is forklift size kind of big. Posted 3 hours earlier. I replied to his post and pretty much explained what I just said here. That looks like what I was seeing all last week on gold hunting videos. I would suggest you keep that one and have a professional look it over. NO reply and still posted for free. 5-10 miles away from my house. But you know Craigslist, sold a week ago and still listed. But, who knows, they may have set it aside. No point in removing the photo with more free rocks to get rid of. Even though I'll never know, I hope they hit the jackpot anyways.
Here I thought this was going to be a Prospecting 101 lecture and it turned into an advertisement for your ebay store. I hope you pan the sludge from your cuttings tank. Those diamonds ripped gold out of the larger nuggets, you can see the gouge lines.
The white is quartz and the green is fuchsite, when you look for the source, you should try to find the quartz carbonate contact zone. Cheers from a geologist.
Hey Jason, Do you know a you tube channel called Factora video name how gold is made is using your video in their video at the 2:25 minute mark. Just an fyi cause I have been a long time viewer and know how hard you work on these videos. Ill shoot you an email if I don't see you respond. Cheers man, keep up the great work
Caustic soda is considerably faster than HcL. But it is so fast it's hard to stop it right at the right time.
Cool seeing you over on this channel, chris! 🙂👍
What about this?
That is so great we have the ability now to find such small amounts of gold vs. back to what the old prospectors had..just their eyes!! Great seeing it like that! Thank you for sharing!!😊
When you cut with the lapidary oil saw are you and can you retrieve the gold from the fines that collect in the saw oil reservoir?
I'd be curious to see you pan out or smelt down the rock saw waste. I'm sure there is a fair amount of gold in there, considering you're cutting through gold.
i wuz thinking the same lol
LOL I was thinking the same thing
Me too.
Iv been saying it since he got it. As well as Dan Hurd’s machine
You're cutting through a couple millimeters of microscopic gold strings... You couldn't measure the weight if you collected it all...
Unless you're cutting literal TONS of rocks through this you won't be losing too much.
Jason, what make and model of gold detector do you use? Enjoy your videos and always learn something from watching them !
Amazing my dad has that exact same 18" rock saw, I was just using it last week while I was on vacation visiting. He also has a 24" rock saw he is rebuilding, the bearings went out in it, and he gave me his old 10" rock saw that I brought back home with me here to Everson.
I'm looking forward to you finding the vein of the listwanite and starting a new mine!
Your videos make me so restless to get out there and rockhound some more. Even if I don't find gold, That quartz is so pretty! I know I have some rocks like that, I bet there's little gold in it that would so pretty sliced!
Jason please get Cam of Blacktail Studio to make a end table or heck even a counter top if you had enough slabs & boy howdy would it be worth it's weight in gold 😉
That'd be incredible
How do you clean the gold from the saw?
Man's got a lot of faith in his friendship with that blade 😂
That was a sliding table, I had to look twice. Apparently, it's not the same danger as wood kicking back when cutting.
I thought for sure he was going to slice his thumb off, I had to close my eyes.
Stone cutting blades don't cut flesh. I'm sure if you really tried you could.
@@woonsockettruthseeker9009looks like it would still hurt to me
Yo can hold your hand on the blade and it won’t cut. It’s a weird thing
Wow! Now I'm checking all my quarts collected at sites throughout the years! You and Jeff always give me the fever! Thank you for your videos!
Jason, get a small piece of sheet rubber, maybe four inches wide and 6in long or so and poke a couple holes in the narrow end and sticks some bailing wire through it and wire it to hang down just behind the tile saw blade like a Truckers mudflap. That way all that gold slurry you're spitting off the back the blade all over your workbench will hit that rubber and drop down into your trough and then you'll be able to pan that out later.

I’m sure we’re all wondering how the mine development is going. Will this mine be a mine type that you only work I. The summer????
Absolutely enjoy everything your doing.
I liked that dunite pair with the defect in the face.
The dunite wasn't my favorite until I saw that piece that was by the edge and it is standing up and the back of it is really rough and craggie. The piece of Listwanite that you tried to make into a rectangle would have been the best for cabs. Its got some really pretty color and that crazy band of quartz is supper cool.

Haha, love the listwanite brother. That block is a definate carver. Thanks for sharing
Jason, there is a youtuber called hedron rockworks who makes beautiful gemstone dice. Could you colaborate with him on making a set of gold ore dice? That would probably be interesting.
Jason, i sure hope you're catching and checking the diamond saw cooling fluid!
There may be Au in there. 😊
Rusty Pockets sounds like a stage name for someone portraying an old prospector at a tourist attraction.
Lol😂
You know you've hit a good vein when you can say you have blobs of gold. Wow!
I love watching this type of video. I recently got back from a gold and mineral prospecting tour of the Michigan UP and brought back some nice specimens that I am going to slab out as well.
If you push pressure on the rocks towards the blade whenever you're cutting, it won't ship off at the end
Thankyou for your very helpfull information , those slices of rock , with the gold in it , looks beautiful .
When we going to see your mine ?
They would be great unless you don't have enough to make tile but you should consider making some shapes that you can sell for inlays on a countertop
How much gold is lost in the oil by the kerf?
Awesome video Jason. I love what you do with the rocks. The Dunite is beautiful I can't believe it's come from the centre of our planet that's awesome. I love how you cut that rock.
Don't get to excited about Vo Gus he's well mostly let's say full of it.
I like all your videos..thanks for sharing all this information...I have a question what's with the headstone in this video...
Great specimens Jason. 👍
Ever do a continuity test to see if the gold you see carries through to opposite side as a ribbon?
Dude, do you try to recover the ~1/8" of gold bearing material that the blade cuts through? Collect and pan out the cutting oil bath?
Now that you found it… how to take it out?
I always wondered what my bookends are made of... Listwanite! Great video, and the big part of Dunite#6 resembles half dome.
Appreciate these cutting rock videos looking for gold. Dont get to see dunite, mariposite, or pyrrhotite and quartz rock here in the California and Arizona deserts much except at rock shows. So, thanks for the video. Love it when you cut into the bonanza grade gold ore from your mine...

That Jason guy ----- Playing with his new TOY ;)
Thanks again
Are you saving your rock saw tailings to refine to get the gold out?
That small rock with all the gold and sulfides would look so cool polished or made into cabochons. You may not want to indiscriminately crush all the ore from your mine.
Hi Jason, are you going to do a video of the dust from your rock saw going through that shaker table of yours?
wonder how much you could recover from the sludge from the saw when it comes time to clean it out
Hey Jason. You should get all the dust you've cut off of the rocks and the ore and send it out to a fan or auction it off the dust from your saws. You know there's gold in that dust dude
You should have some nice gold when you clean out your rock saw!
I fell in love with that rock when I saw it rocks are cool😊 with its unique features
Real gold Glitter! Nice!
You're right Jason it would be a beautiful countertop especially with real gold flake in it
it would be an awfully small counter unless you can find a huge slab of it, lol. But it is awesome stuff.
And it would be full of lead, arsenic, sulphites, mercury, and other contaminants. It would look cool yes, and might be functional as a desktop slab, but there’s a reason no one has used it for a counter top…
Great cuts. Good job Jason.
nice.. be really careful around HF acid. That stuff is really brutal if you get even a tiny drop on you.
So if the saw cuts a 16th to 8th inch wide, perhaps there will be some fine gold in the bottom of the oil?
As allways, very interresting videos from you Jason. Another interresting thing i hope you will share with us, how much gold there is in the dustbin under the saw?
You need to take the material cut from the kerf stuck in the basin of that rock saw and throw it on the shaker table, i bet there's gold in there.
I’d love seeing gold down in my quartz too! Trouble is, all the quartz I’ve ever found, crushed down, and panned out didn’t have SQUAT. Didn’t see anything in it with my jewelers loop either… oh well. Guess I’ll keep lookin.. 😉👍
The broken part on it is cool.
I'd want it like that.
THANKS FOR SHARING
I had a buddy of mine go into Silver City and he got some samples brought them back. Use my rock Crusher and got everything out. But when he melted, it turned green.. Hymn and I were both wondering why it was green can you answer that
That would look really cool as a counter top! Nice.
I would love to see you pan out the cuttings from the rock saw
Nice job Jason. That rock looks like Michegan.
Jason, check the rock dust from the wet saws and hopegully you will have lots of fine gold collected for refining.
If anyone is wondering if a wet rock cutting diamond blade can cut your finger, Absolutely it can.
Some types of blades are less likely to do so, although don’t ever test that, it can still cut you. Blades with even small teeth, or even a smooth blade with a small chip in it can cut you. Don’t test it.
What do you do with your cutting fluids? Cuz there's gold in them
Excellent Jason thanks for sharing this six stars
Make sure you run those tailings that the saw left behind
wich sulfide is this in rocks with gold
Great looking ore! Congrats!
It's crazy how your microscope Video shots Of the rock make it look like a distant planet as seen through a telescope.
I guess that's the fractal effect.
I was wondering what the quarts looked like. It has a milky apperance. It doesnt have much cystaline apperence
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Do you save your waste water off the masonry saw and see if gold is in it. Since of the high consecrate of the ore.
Now the lube oil is contaminated with gold lol. Smeltng that would be awesome lol is there any way to recover that ? I get its not economical but still curious.
What is the other metal in there it looks like silver?
You might as well go bye the polishing wheels now . I think you have a new addiction . Great stuff man.
I hope you are having Mick go thru for the gems u can't see cuz wow there are lots of red ones.(garnets, probably)
I have rocks that I'm hoping to cut because they are loaded with shiny golden yellow .. and or quartz looking rocks
Excellent.
Did you ever live in Grand junction CO?
Jason, I think you will need pan out the dregs for the saw, cutting through all that ore, gold fragments would have to be in there…..
Wow great gold quartz
I can't find ur eBay site
might want to pan out your lapidary saw tray after cutting all that
Pan out the sediment in the rock saw tray
You need to pan out the saws "tailings" Jason!!!
I find a lot of quartz which looks like that in Georgia & Alabama, but the "gold" always ends up being mica or pyrite! Lucky me...
U definitely scored big time with your mine! Don't let it become a curse...pay attention to your family, too. That's usually the first casualty of gold fever! Justa reminder...been swept away myself...by a different
different type of fever...but my husband had no interest in my hobby so he found someone who paid him the attention he craved. Just be mindful of the gold you had before, too. ⚠️
Try RV antifreeze for rock slab saw lube for dry slabs that aren't contaminated with oil
id like to see how much gold is in the saw millings!
The green and white angle vain looks like the scubadiving flag very nice

Very cool.
The chromite ore you cut i liked the smooth and jagged part.. It is cool
Here I thought this was going to be a Prospecting 101 lecture and it turned into an advertisement for your ebay store. I hope you pan the sludge from your cuttings tank. Those diamonds ripped gold out of the larger nuggets, you can see the gouge lines.
The white is quartz and the green is fuchsite, when you look for the source, you should try to find the quartz carbonate contact zone. Cheers from a geologist.
And the chromite Dissolve during hydrothermal alteration, hence you get fuchsite (Cr-Muscovite)
The dunite looks altered into ophiocarbonte maybe, but hard to know form the video
Hey Jason,
Do you know a you tube channel called Factora video name how gold is made is using your video in their video at the 2:25 minute mark. Just an fyi cause I have been a long time viewer and know how hard you work on these videos. Ill shoot you an email if I don't see you respond. Cheers man, keep up the great work
But how do you get the gold out
Okay you found it but how are you supposed to extract it from rock..?? Sounds impossible to me..
ok thats it im coming over!
Show gostei Gold Gold 👏👏👏👏
