I saw the receipt. He was in Logan Utah. Or at least the Deseret Industries (DI) thrift store is in Logan. I live near Cody. Utah State University Student?
You know how the Terminator destroyed the T-1000 by dropping him into the vat of molten steel? Would it be possible for you to isolate the polyalloy that T-1000 is made out of and ressurect him? Now that would be an intense episode.
I enjoy many RU-vid channels but Cody's metal refining and mining videos (and to be fair also any from Primitive Technology) are the ones that get me exceptionally delighted. Great job and keep them coming... FOREVAH!
Luckeux Seriously. At this thickness, even solid gold becomes very transparent to visible light while still being able to block out a large amount of harmful radiation, which is why gold foil is used on the helmets of space suits.
Antique military medals and such were sometimes gold-filled, rather than simply plated. Gold filling is applying thin sheets of gold onto the base metal. I recall my grand-dad once saying that his medals from WWI were worth more than than their weight in $100 bills. He said there was gold in them.
Cody - The first man since Klondike that can make his fiancee a gold ring with different precious metals by himself from his own mine....... That's just mindblowing. Those skills though! I really admire your work Cody! Keep it up and stay safe!! Greetings from Germany.
Not everyone can smell cyanide. It is dangerous however not hard to handle. Consider that in the gold industry we use literally tens of thousands of tonnes and worker fatalities from cyanide poisoning are almost non-existant or due to suicides :(
@@well_as_an_expert_id_say Suicide rate is about normal based on sex and age group. The mining industry is dominated by men (getting not as bad now) and as a result, some few guys going through some bad times see cyanide as a quick/painless solution to their issues. I personally don't know of anyone who has taken this route though and I have been in mining for about 25 years. However it does happen.
Turns out animals wont drink it, I've seen a thirsty cow take a sniff of a cyanide solution and then go on to walking half a mile to get clean water, I guess they are actually pretty smart.
cody you inspire me so much i couldn't put in words how much i want to be like you i am 14 and i plan on working for a job in radiation sciences i really hope you see this comment and good luck on all your future projects
you said that you would let it get red hot for several hours... how much does that add to the electricity bill? i would imagine keeping stuff red hot for hours at a time isn't cheap?
Hey everyone Cody here. You may remember my bag of coins from the last episode, I couldn't use those being illegal and all so I used them to pay for som-*JUMPCUT* I'm back and I've got this money bag full of copper chunks, I found them at the thrift store, I'm gonna see if I can turn them into a copper ingot.
You can do whatever you want to US currency, as long as you don't alter it to pass it off as a higher denomination of money. I.e., can't make a penny look like a dime and try to buy something with said counterfeit. Melt them down to your hearts content :)
@@trumpeteer4792 will lib would have been right for the most part, but I'm pretty sure they changed the laws. They made it illegal to melt pennies & nickels. When copper was high, pre 83 pennies had 3cents Worth of copper. Woulda been a sweet gig- go buy $10,000 worth of pennies, scrap them and gross $30,000! Only "they" can make money that easy.
Don't ingest it, wear gloves and preferably safety goggles, and know the chemistry of what you're doing. As Cody mentioned, bleach makes it more or less harmless. Industrial gold processing uses cyanide solution extraction, but they recover the cyanide at the end and reuse it and it's done in a continuous process. It's cheap and as he demonstrated here, effective even with very low percentages of gold. It's not the fastest, but it is effective.
i enjoy your vids cody would love to see your channel grow to 10 mil subs you are growing slowly and you're never super hard to understand and your range of activities is great looking forward to next vid keep it up

Even at 100% yield and free dishes the chemicals, carbon and electricity for the oven would still cost more than the gold is worth. But making money is not the point of the videos.
I've been watching you for about 5 or 6 months now I believe. I started with your beekeeping videos, transitioned to the mine, now I'm on the metal refining. Thanks to you I've found a few things Iay wanna try as a fallback career later in life
The gold yielded in this video, is moreso in the production of the video itself, giving you an overall yield greater than the cost, giving you overall profit... Well done!
interesting as usual! :D but i was wandering, how can you make this method be worth for your mine's gold ore? process that amount of ore whit this chemicals shouldn't cost you more than the gold value itself?
@Cody'sLab you might be able to take it and dissolve the gold off the ore in a slightly larger batch then take the ore out and repeat it using the same chemicals for the next batch and save yourself on the cost of them or would the chemicals be used up by then (i would suggest mining a bunch first)
you need to regenerate that chemicals first, example you dissolve tin in acid clorhidric, after you have to precipitate the metal and usually the rest it's waste
I've always wanted to try this but never had access to cyanide. Thanks for posting I watch your videos like a kid with his eyes glued to the Saturday morning cartoons. Keep up the awesome videos, Cody!
Cody, next to your mining series and your random videos, like the dyer's woad, your extraction/refining series is my favorite work of yours. Thank you for wasting your money on our edutainment. You are indeed a true productive member of society.
jocke jonasson I think something like that has already been posted elsewhere in this video's comments section. No kudos earned here for originality, I'm afraid. Oh, and no - I meant bleach. Thanks anyway
nice videos, its a whole lot of work to get some little bead of gold, your patience has no limits ;) now i know its not worth my time and money to buy some 'gold 'dishes
