I have been observing people go through a lot of trouble getting the flour gold. In Lab I would use a centrifuge to concentrate it. and if there are platinum group metals they will concentrate too. With heaviest at bottom and lightest at top. Will even stratify into layers.
In the thumb nail for this video it shows a big gravel and sand operation going on within the inside bend area of that part of the river. I’m pretty certain those guys running that operation are recovering plenty of flour gold as a byproduct with that sizeable operation. Just a guess.
Never had good luck with any of the snowjoes brand. They got alot of work to do to improve the quality and customer service issues, before I'd go back to them.
@@BackyardProspector I wonder if mercury can pass through openings that small? I’ve noticed it doesn’t even fully go down into the little nipple point of the stat bulbs I’ve collected. I’ve got a few dozen and I’m determined to get it all out of the glass bulbs and into one vial as purely as possible.
@@jimfisher6634 If its pure then it should act as a liquid. If its amalgamated then it should act more as a solid. You can always distill it if you have the knowledge.
The problem with trying to mechanically separate gold from black sand is that it is a fools errand. You see only 15 to 20 percent can be seen with 20-20 vision!!! The other 80% is below visual level, microscopic. Every thing below 100 mesh just can't be seen, but the gold goes down to 300 mesh!!!!! You have to use amalgamation to get it all out!!! Get you some mercury and a rock tumbler and learn how to recover 100% of your mercury, either by retort or nitric acid and a small bottle of quicksilver will last indefinitely. Both Jeff Williams and Two Toes have excellent videos on amalgamation. Till you do, you will continue to throw away 80% of your gold!!!! A Miller table or a blue bowl are excellent if your intent is to throw away the 80% and keep 20% ;) Those of us that are greedy enough to want the whole 100% got rid of such a long time ago!!
I have an actual quesrion. I just took a smoke detector apart and i dont know if its safe to have around or if i should get rid of it. And what to do and not to do with the americium
the most intriguing use for these sources, aside from making a cloud chamber to put one in, is to build a scintilloscope, using a radioluminescent phosphorous screen, and a magnifying lens, all mounted into a (cardboard) tube. you gotta let your eyes adjust to pitch darkness for a few minutes, before you see it. but then the alpha radiation filtered trough ~2cm of air looks like static on a TV, with some beta blibs, and occasional sharper looking flashes from gamma particles. and occasionally, you catch a cosmic ray, leaving a bright streak.
So when you're roasting sul fides what happens is tiny molecules of water and oxygen burst from the insides of the sulfides to the outsides and break holes in it that's what releases the tiny particles of gold It's just like oxidized coal the water just burrows holes microscopic holes and it and just tears it to pieces and gives it much much more surface area same process with sulfidolphins oxidization is Wanted outcome
@@BackyardProspector mine turned out good it took me 3 hours at 250 degrees for a 4 lbs roast to get to 145 internal temperature. let it sit in butcher paper for an hour turned out great!
smashed the like button, good on you for doing the hike, i see the radio tower so is there a vehicle trail to go up or something or do they heli parts up ?
i did this years ago and kept it in a plastic bag, then that in a plastic container but i never really researched the dangers of it so i’m just asking now😂
@@Luke-hq5zd You should always do research on the things that you do. Alpha particles emitted from the Americium 251 are heavy and can be easily stopped. Dont take my word for it, do some research or consult a professional. Thanks
Yeah I did a video on it awhile back. I am planning another one once I get more cons. Thanks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MOBeSjd8AO4.html
That was fun. You may want to clean up after you are done like put back some of the rock into the hole or something. I don't know if you did that or not but from what it look like it didn't
Rad video I noticed didn't mention brushing the table before entering your material to remove all air bubbles off the mat. Brushing It Off does that really matter?
Did you just twist and snap the chute in on yours or did you fasten it down with something? I tried to use mine and it was trying to come off when a lot of snow was coming through the chute
@@BackyardProspector oh ok, mine came separated and there’s a hole for a screw but that makes it unable to turn, so I’m at a loss. I’ll have to just look over the whole thing and figure it out
This was a great cook. Check out that smoke ring at the end! I will definitely be doing more of these. Next time bigger! Let me know your smoker Brisket tips in the comments. Thanks for watching!
