Every week I watch you struggle pouring it into a cone mold. Have you ever thought about putting a bar across an area of where you pour into the cone mold. Use it as lever supporting the middle to back end of the big crucible. I think it would be way easier on your arms and shoulders.

Or build a tipping frame to set the crucible in to tilt it's contents into the cone.

Jason, I cannot believe how big the two beads were just from the Fraser's black sands! 😮🧐 I wish you could have recorded Dan's expression as you told him the results! You had a serene look on yours, but your voice gave your thoughts away. That was a very surprising result indeed. Just to give you a hug smile and chuckle, you didn't have to get a new blower. As the old one was croaking loudly, your rooster could have finished the blowing, um, crowing just fine! Tee hee!! 😂🤣🐔 He was a'blowin' while a'crowin'!! 🤣 Thanks so much for sharing with us! You and Dan make a great team. Blessings from Alabama ❤️

@ross798

Just for fun, what I like to do is, simply take those black sands from the pan, where I clearly see some fine gold and put them in a container for later. I then come home, do the best I can to pan out anything not gold and then dry it, and then just enjoy some quiet time, with a desk lamp, pinpoint tweezers and a loupe, taking out every piece of tiny little gold I can find. It ads up to nothing really, but I find the search kind of fun.

Not to long ago , keeping poultry in city limits was frowned upon to say the least , and it is still that way in a lot of places , especially in upscale locations with an overpopulation of Karen's , who lose their minds at the mere suspicion that a neighbor might possess live poultry . Enter the " chicken clicker " which makes a noise exactly like chickens clucking , made from a plastic drinking cup ( like a solo brand , etc ..) a cotton string attached to the center and and a piece of wetted foam or sponge pulled along the string . You can find these at flea markets sometimes . A few of these played in the vicinity of your local Karen will induce all sorts of entertainment , especially if your particular jurisdiction bans raising chickens .

Thanks, your doing this smelting of Fraser black sand. This has solved a bit of a mystery for me. In the 1950s and 60s, my dad lived in settlements along the Fraser, in the search for the big find in the Fraser, and many of the other rivers in the area. They always made enough money to make the effort worthwhile, but never more than that.. He, and his buddies, always dreamed that they were missing a substantial amount of gold that was locked in the black sands, and your experiment proves to me that it was just a pipe dream. They also postulated, and from what he stated to me years later, they probably made some attempts at mechanically separating any precious metal from the black sands, but all attempts were futile. I can still remember back to the early 1960s, visiting with him in Hope, where he would pull out jars of black sand, stating that there was gold or platinum in there somewhere. It was always on the back of my mind, and I am satisfied that you have solved the mystery. (The reason I mention platinum, is that they also panned rivers as far east as the Princeton area).
@a.b.c.adventures3484
@a.b.c.adventures3484 6 месяцев назад
I have a jar of black sand and I know that 2-5% of the weight is precious metals. It just takes too long and is not really worth it. Only reason why I keep it, is because trying to separate every tiny spec of gold is too difficult. I know I saw a few specs left in the black sand. Just a matter of some point in time trying to run through a miller table or blue bowl.

Saw on another channel that does melting and he puts a piece of cardboard between the crucible and the surface it goes on to prevent it from sticking together. It's another RU-vid channel, so it may not be 100% true, but you may want to try that to prevent the fire brick from sticking to the crucible.

Equipment failure should be expected at the worst possible time. Very enjoyable to see the results. Unfortunately to get enough black sand for a profitable showing it would take more than a few day trips. I imagine Dan could get a few tons over many trips and maybe years but the cost and effort of smelting on a small scale would outweigh the gold recovered. Pan and take the visible gold let the river keep the sands.
