I found chunks of led/silver slag, some only partially melted, one with two crimson colored sides. Heavy little rocks. Found near the old lake shore a mile west of Keeler.
Galena itself is quite useful, it can make quite a nice diode for a crude radio receiver and such. The lead can also make quite a good battery, that can supply a lot of current and be recharged.

Interestingly enough, your own bones do the same thing. It's why lead poisoning is such a big problem when you get older and you seem fine when young, as the bones have absorbed lead and start to release it through osteoporosis. But silver isn't absorbed into the bones and the body can pass it eventually. I never made the connection that the same mechanism could be used for silver refining.
In cupelling it's not really a chemical thing though... you can cupel with Portland cement. That is, capillary action on the molten lead oxide is a better explanation for the cupel behavior. In the body, lead interferes with a wide variety of enzymes including those that regulate calcium balance; that's why lead is taken up into and released later from bones.

there's often a connection with gods of the dead also being gods of the underground, Hades being one, so ritualistic bone offerings when purifying ores doesn't seem too far fetched. it could also be that the purification of ore using bones is what lead to gods of death to be associated with mining, so it may be a "chicken and the egg" situation there.

1. ALWAYS USE FULL PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH LEAD. Gloves, respirator, goggles! Tiny bits of lead dust under your nails can poison your food or get into you via touches to the face; the vapors and fumes from smelting lead are highly toxic, and you should always wear safety equipment when working with dangerous materials! 2. You developed paper in prior episodes - you can use paper to make funnels and STOP WASTING MATERIAL. I get that you guys are a bit strapped for time with your upload schedule, but this is why you make tools in advance - leather funnels with paper liner to keep material from sticking, coated in beeswax to make it waterproofed. All materials you ALREADY HAVE. 3. I get that UA-cam is a real slave-driver as far as new content is concerned, but you really need to start doing multi-episode projects more often, because the degree of rushing you're doing is making you get incorrect or unhelpful results a LOT of the time, because you're trying to cram a single project into a single episode.

Put it all into accounts with other millionaires and billionaires to keep getting richer? Pretty sure he could have made much more money with what it cost to buy that place

@@BaronOBeefDip Is that really why people watch Brent though? I feel like a lot of people watch his mine exploration videos, and even if he isn't preserving anything, and wants to create a tourist trap he isn't doing a great job of it. He is preserving quite a bit, and documenting a ton with his videos. Even if he throws away 90% of it and makes a tourist trap, that is still more than ever would have been saved otherwise and will still get people out there and thinking about American history.

@@BaronOBeefDip how?
@MathiasGreenwalde He's a millionaire Investment Banker that bought Cerro Gordo with an Investment Firm with the idea of turning it into a tourist trap. He fails to mention that however and makes it seem like he spent his life saving to live alone there to preserve it, all while asking for donations. Plus he doesn't "preserve" anything and the hotel burned down suspiciously not long after he bought it and had it insured.
@@BaronOBeefDip Is that really why people watch Brent though? I feel like a lot of people watch his mine exploration videos, and even if he isn't preserving anything, and wants to create a tourist trap he isn't doing a great job of it. He is preserving quite a bit, and documenting a ton with his videos. Even if he throws away 90% of it and makes a tourist trap, that is still more than ever would have been saved otherwise and will still get people out there and thinking about American history.
He does research, puts his life at risk going into a historical mine, and gives us entertaining videos, while making American history interesting. Even if everything else is a lie, it's still a net positive for everyone.
