@@SilvasSmallMining Thank you. Yes on the silver. Andre, the Chollar Mine owner said that there should be 90% silver. All my research said it’s 50%-50%. I thought there should have been more than what I got.
@@themahoneymine Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Mahoney. I was a little disappointed in myself. I felt I should have done a better job. But considering everything I did the best I could. Those beads were tiny, we probably would never had found them at the BOB floor 🤣
@@LetsCrushRocks hello, I’ve gotten 10 smelts out of my smaller Clay crucibles, and I am still using them. On my larger ones, the Legend K crucibles I’ve gotten between three and eight uses. Certain is because the furnace I’m using for them is too small and the flame coming from the propane torch is hitting right on the crucible, once I’m finished moving to our new location, I will build a larger furnace that will have ample room for the Legend K crucible. I get the legend crucible from legends incorporated in Sparks Nevada. The website is imine.com
@@albynospyder4120 The rebar helps assists the litharge to collect the precious metals within the molten slag. There are some who say it’s not necessary, especially if there is magnetite in the ore. For me, I’ve gotten good results using the rebar. I hope this helps and thank for being with us. I appreciate it! Take care.
Is that 1200F or C? I find this fascinating! I’ve been wanting to melt down some of my gold and silver but want to make sure I can produce the correct temperatures. Thanks for the video!
@@kamakaziozzie3038 Hi, I love the Kamakazi name, being Japanese I always tell people I’m crazy that way lol. It’s Fahrenheit. Yes, my infrared thermometer helps me tremendously. 1948F is what you need to melt gold. Have fun! Thank you for being with us, take care 🤗
Nice work Ernie. I was thinking there would be more silver, but the two beads are pretty decent.
Good gold hunting!
Take care.

Looking good indeed fam. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠
That's a couple of good size beads!
Hi Ernie. How many uses do you figure you get out of those fire clay crucibles? I've been using clay graphite ones so far.

What is the point of the 2 pieces of rebar?
