@@VoGusProspecting oh right on yeah i keep it out of reach of my dogs i was just curious of you used anything like it with the fine gold you find Keep up the vids love watching them fine gold if what i find mostly out here in arizona usa enjoy them all!
I love to see reef being crushed. And any knowledge you give about mineralisation and rocks. It lifts my spirits in general and takes my mind off the stressers in the world today. Thanks for that Chris, and Mick with his ball mill. All my love and respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
You know right there at the end I wasn't so much watching you pan but the ripples on the water from you panning for a few seconds there I was transfixed by them, very hypnotic thanks lol... Napa California
I need me one of those fancy wirring machines. My dad just bought 15 acres in Tennessee. Turns out there’s gold! The primary gold bearing creek in the state runs through his back yard. Fingers crossed!
gotta love your method Chris, you and Mick have a great setup with the mixer, bet Mick never knew his balls would get worldwide attention on your channel!
In the large ball mills they have liners to protect the mill. Then in-between the liners are lifters. Which help lift the balls so when the mill rotates in lifts them so they drop crushing the ore better. My advise would be lay small 1" angle iron down flat so the center is up and the 2 sides are down and welded to the mixer. Even smaller 1/2" angle might work. Or even round stock. Just something to help lift the balls more to crush. All mills even smaller ones have lifters.
You should get better recovery if you classify the ground ore and then re-grind the oversize. I would also recommend some Dawn or Jet Dry from the get go. The particle ratio I see in the pan looks like much more coarse to fine than most ores I have dealt with.
Got my dolly pot made , love hot rocking it's great just getting in the bush prospecting & having fun. Wouldn't mind a few of those rocks mate , Great Vid as always 👍
Love the tunes! Wish you could visit Jeff williams! "Just drop those pants!" No, on a serious note, I'm learning the Geology of my area and how to locate indicators of mines in my area. Mining high grade ore will be sick to watch dude. Love your vids bro!
Nice work lads Sorry been busy mate to see any vids of late And no reception in some of my remote places Keep up the AWSOME work love the show and the characters on it And the animal antics LOL Cheers 🍻 CrouchOz
Always great to see you mate on the banks with the pupper! Definitely will be crushing my ore much better I have a bunch to do so stoked for better results! Ever tried roasting sulfates?
For what little it might be worth, I know a guy manages a copper mine in WA. They used to crush their ore to extract copper silver & gold. These days they leach it all out into a slurry with acid and recover the gold silver & copper from the slurry. Might it not make more sense to set up a leaching operation? Saw a guy out Kalgoorlie way who leached thousands of tonnes of gold mine tailings, and got back hundreds of ounces. There’s a lot of different methods I guess, just use what works best for you.
Hey Chris I have had this on my mi d for a little while now since grizzly passed away, I recon you should name the most giving creek or river bed after grizz
Chris why aren't you wearing your pink shorts I love those shorts man those are awesome especially with all the mermaids on It come on we got to do this you have to wear that stuff I love watching you wear that and that old Modi had of yours
Hi Chris can you tell me what the process is when it comes to selling your gold like where & who to sell to if one was lucky enough to find colour O.k Cheers
THE ONLY THING MISSING WAS THE POOR BATEA PAN. IT WAS LURKING BUT RIDING THE BENCH THIS VIDEO. REEF GOLD AT IT'S "FINEST", ONE COULD SAY. ADIOS AND THANKS.
@@VoGusProspecting all good totally understandable.. finally got one, well covered sdc, equinox 800 and the gold monster. I think got the conditions covered lol
As a person of 47 years of age 6 months ago I had a major life change due to unknown arthritis and crappy job choice,you will last a lot longer in the game if you make yourself comfortable get a stool,make the pool a couple of inches higher maybe.? I'm not telling you what to do as I belive in freedom just want you to last a long time as I enjoy your work
Hi Chris. Great video. Please stay safe and healthy and take care of yourself and your family members. To all members also. Talk to you later my friend. ☺☺☺😇😇😇
In thecource of your past what would your prospecting goals be with your new lifetime of energy expenditure ,do you continue until your find a golden river of flounder in flour
Who the fuck gives you a negative mark on your video, love your work Chris, love what you share I’ve learnt soooo much keep up the great work mate! Would love to catch up one time or get you into one of my central qld creeks got so many questions for you
@@VoGusProspecting I'm a retired Marine Electrician/Engineer and had to make a lot of tools for particular jobs.Have you seen the slide hammers that you can buy to pull dents out of car body's? I modified one by welding a stop block on the bottom so I could pull and push and put a steel pipe on the end where the screw was located and put a steel bottom stop on it to use as the hammer against the chisel/wedgesl .Instead of using it to just pull I was using it as a hammer to seat wedges.Put the pipe over a chisel with some pipe foam insulation to hold the chisel and no more busted fingers or hands.You can get those slide hammers up to 20#s.I used that rig to pull and place wedges that held the field windings on big electric DC generators on the armatures.I've seen some that were built to spit wood with up to 4' long but the steel would be too soft for rock unless you used feathers and grease.Now you just need to get a good rock crusher and ball mill built.
