You should gather all your clear sapphires and try to heat treat them and make heat treated rubies! Would love to watch you discover this process! Its quite fun to play around with!

@Meech817 Год назад

Did you re-upload the video?

@scarlettardis2018 Год назад

Pretty sure that's a fire opal. They're the only opal you facet.

@RICDirector Год назад

Not necessarily; been seeing some interesting cuts on Ethiopian or welo lately. Would have liked to get a look at these under something like a dissecting microscope; his camera just isn't cutting it for stuff this small!

Testing for hardness and performing a streak test will help you in identifying minerals. Also, you might consider heating the raw pay dirt to a level that will burn off the hair and garbage while sanitizing the rest. It should not hurt your crystals or gold.

I have to admit watching you clean the sidewalks if New York with a vacuum. Priceless lol!

@Tonz_of_Fun Год назад

Hey Shane. I've been watching some home refiners and have one suggestion. When heating your stuff up have another heatproof dish underneath your breaker. It helps with any possible cracking but then can save anything if something does spill out.

@Der_Kleine_Mann Год назад

Yep, I wanted to tell him exactly that, because it also happened to me once.

@artbyartbyart Год назад

U inspired me to build my own system! I bring a bigger vacuum to gather more stuff and I bring an extra 3 batteries so I can do it longer. I’ve also added a cyclone and a picker on the end of the wand making the whole process much faster and so I don’t need to bend down too much. I also got a Miller’s table to filter out all the small stuff!

@Sam-fp8zm Год назад

so what stuff did you find and how much did you sell the diamonds for?

@Klesh Год назад

Good luck 👍⛏ I find this small system works great for me, for a few reasons. Firstly it's compact and airplane friendly. I did have a hook attachment welded to the end of the hose, but the other hose was metal (for stability) but it makes the whole rig much heavier and less travel friendly. The Miller table process may work, just be careful you don't lose anything. The weight differences in the material are completely unknown and certain items may wash down unexpectedly quicker than others. I find hand panning, although tedious, is the best and most thorough way to be as sure as possible you're getting all the "good stuff".

@artbyartbyart Год назад

@@Klesh yeah it looks like your system is perfect for the traveling and you’re very thorough. I love watching your videos for this reason. You have such a rad set up. There’s this older super chill RU-vidr that makes the best Miller tables on the market I swear. His tables catch pretty much everything. They’re incredible. His channel is: @utahavalanch. I’m eventually wanting to scale up my system for dry river beds using a stronger vacuum system pre-screened with 1-2 cyclones attached. I know I’ll miss out on some bigger nuggets but I have a feeling I’ll end up making more $ in way less time. I’m hoping it’ll all pan out!🤙

@nicgurkweitz389 Год назад

Real pearl can be found out be rubbing it on your teeth, if it's smooth it's not real but if it's gritty it's real. This is the easiest way to find out if the pearls are real or not. Always a favorite type of video for me. Love this! Thank you!

In the sewer and the point is he collected huge pickle jars full of coins, metal, and jewelry from the times when he needed to go into the sewers and do maintanence.

@benedwards7575 Год назад

Currently studying gemmology would recommend a loupe and if that’s a bit out of your depth just a normal microscope works , these will allow u to look into the gemstones . Synthetic moissanite will show double refraction and CZ usually has way to much dispersion and poor faceting especially noticeable on the facet edges (not the girdle of the stone) hope this helps 👍👍

I’ve sold crystals, uncut, for almost a decade. It looks like you’re missing a lot of potential opals. It hard to tell through the footage but there appears to be a lot of milky semi-translucent stones, those can be opal. It can be synthetic but worth checking out. Edit: I commented before finishing the video. Find someone locally that’s GIA certified. They can do a process through weighing the stones in and out of water that will tell you exactly what it is. Also, if you go to a guy and have some of the small stones set you may be able to sell the individual rings much easier, especially given your channel and popularity, you could market them easily.
