Get gold out of black sand - method for pure gold from black sands - extract gold with a blue bowl

In this video, I process a large lot of gold bearing black sand concentrates from Montana and show you how it is done. Black Sand concentrates are a big deal that frustrate many new prospectors and old ones as well. The goal is to get a clean placer gold product that can be sold or melted down into a bar. Historic methods used toxic chemicals. But there are better alternatives now. Magnets, a little at a time, weak ones and then stronger. Black sand is iron minerals and they are magnetic, but if you are too aggressive, the magnets will suck up gold wit the back sand. Many prospectors find “Black Sand” kind of mysterious, but you can get the gold out easily, efficiently and safely if you follow this procedure.
For those who want to learn more about Prospecting and finding gold check out my book, Fists full of Gold. It’s an encyclopedia of everything on the topic of prospecting. It’s available on from High Plains Prospectors. (Affiliate) You can find it at:

I bought your book a couple of years ago. Only saw your videos today. For those wondering, it is an amazing book that covers all essentials when it comes to prospecting and equipment. A true gem on the bookshelf which is beaten and dog-eared. While the video may be long in tooth, this guy knows his stuff. If I were to recommend a reference guide to geology, panning, sluicing, detecting and everthing in between, it would be Fists Full of Gold! Thank you sir!

Great video Chris! I'm new to prospecting and I'm trying to devour all the information I can on gold so it's always a treat when one of your videos pop up in my feed. I recently staked a placer claim on a creek that has historic gold production using hand and hydraulic mining, it's in mountain valley that was occupied by a glacier. I'd love to see a video building on some of your, and Jim Halloran's ICMJ articles about prospecting glacial deposits, buried paleo channels, lateral moraines, etc. Also, a suggestion on sharing links, it might be easier to mention them in the video and then direct the viewer to look for them in the description below, it should simplify post processing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
@ChrisRalph

I will do something on glacial moraines, paleo channels, etc. But I want to get out and film actually in the areas where there are the moraines and channels. So it will need to wait to next year when those places are not all buried in snow as they are now. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Right now, i am panning as I go which takes to much time. I would like to be able to get the concentrate and do the panning at my liesure.

Nice video. Only important info missing is, how long did all these steps take? How long to classify? How long to pan larger fractions? How long to Blue Bowl smaller fractions? How long to remove magnetics? How long total time to recover roughly $150 in gold? Also, definitely need a 100 mesh screen for Blue Bowl.

If I was not video taping all this and trying to make a demonstration, probably could have done the whole thing in about 20 minutes. Still, this is why its normal to save up cons and work them all at once rather than doing 20 little batches that each take 20 minutes or so.

Newer subscriber to your channel, actually I do have a question, being that I live where gold isn't profitable in my state or even common much, I decided to soon build a rock crusher and just buy ore, so I have bought ore but the problem is I can't see any gold with a ten X loupe in the ores, question would be am I making a mistake buying ore that has no visible gold? Thanks. Edit just bought your book that should be more than interesting.

Very fine gold can stick to small rocks and pebbles with clay. With dry screening, that gold just gets tossed out. Its been tested and proven that wet screening get better recovery, especially with very fine gold.

Hi Chris, I'm enjoying your videos and have a request, or maybe you've already shared the secret in another video, but Could you explain how money is actually obtained by getting your gold to the market? Some things I've always wondered about: How is the quality and purity of your gold determined? I'm assuming one wouldn't expect to be buying 100% gold. And even then, how are different batches from different deposits priced? Again, I'm assuming that some gold from some deposits will still have at least some bits of lead or other heavy metals attached or surrounding the pieces. I've seen on other videos where sometimes the gold is attached to quarts, pyrite etc. I also see where some shops like to sell nuggets in their natural form, and wondering how would they be priced differently? Any insight into the money exchange process would be gladly taken. For what it's worth too, I don't mine the long videos watching the panning process right till the end. I've never found even a spec, but have always found the challenge of finding/recovering gold to be addictive. Thanks for helping to feed that monkey on my back :) Love your content!

Yes they form separately. The gold mostly comes from quartz veins. The black sand comes from weathering of rocks with no gold like granite. The debris from weathering comes down into streams and rivers. The heavy black sand catches in some of the same places as the gold in the rivers because both are heavier than average.
