How to use a miller table. In this video I use a miller table to clean gold concentrates. The concentrates I used were fairly rich in gold. This particular miller table is made locally in the city next to my town and is called the "Black scorpion, fine gold recovery system" Which is just a type of miller table with a few bonus features. I recover quite a bit of gold considering I have a very small quantity of cons. The table worked very well capturing even the finest gold. In the next video I will be melting down the gold and pouring it into a gold bar. So enjoy, "Rich cons cleaned up on a miller table"
This video is produced by Dan Hurd, Prospector, Miner, Teacher and RU-vidr, as part of his RU-vid channel based on educational videos about gold mining, gold panning, prospecting, rock hounding, and mineral collecting.

Hi Dan; Thanks for putting the video up - I have a newer version of that table now, and incorporated "vial" traps rather than the slots. One can now simply screw the vials ( 2 ) into the bottom of the table and direct the clean stuff right in ( included with the table ). Another feature is that if you somehow break a vial or don't have any spares, we include "Plugs" that allow sweeping the material into the catch holes. Then it's just a matter of undoing the plug to let the gold drop into a gold pan for suctioning up with a snuffer bottle. We have also made a small adjustment to the texture as well. Remember - proper screening is important for quick cleanup, and when moving the gold, it's best to slow the water a bit as flakes can hydoplane if disturbed. By the way, we now have a Dealer in New Zealand for anyone watching from down under :). Cheers, Bryan

@paraglidingprospector Год назад

I love this video! Placer gold is tough to pan out so I’ll definitely be adding a Miller Table to my setup soon! Thanks Dan!

@DayTrader__ Год назад

Thanks for the demo Dan and thanks for the honest opinion about just rather pan it out besides using the machine. You are right of course, panning is faster and you can get it down good enough to melt it down and move on a whole lot faster. That’s why I like your videos, you give honest opinion on the processes 🙃 Thanks for taking time to show us this.

I am still panning by hand... I have tried all kinds of shortcuts. I get a thrill of seeing the gold wink at me I guess. I still feel like its Christmas morning to me with each pan. Filled with promise of a reward for all of your hard work. I am 65 but the child remains...

@xenaguy01 3 года назад

17:20 Here's a tip when adding more material to already cleaned gold. If you don't sweep the gold away or snuff it up, then add all new cons _below_ the gold on the table. That way you don't push gold down the table with new cons.

@roygutfinski9991 5 лет назад

Great video, as always, Dan. Fine gold is a bit like snowflakes, no two particles exactly alike, each with its own unique shape, aspect ratio, etc. and each behaves slightly differently. Surface tension of the fluid can be modified with additives and change in water temperature. I have also found that even non-magnetic black sand is slightly magnetic. I work it wet, dry it and work it wet and dry both before and after removing the magnetic black sand with a magnet. We keep learning all the time. I have a lot of fun showing people how their "cleaned" black sand still has gold hidden inside.

@Danhurd 5 лет назад

Jet dry must be a agent to lessen surface tension? I was a small offset printing press operator in my youth. We called it making water wetter. Along with the water fountain additives we used alcohol (isopropanol) in small quantities to help lessen surface tension, making “Water Wetter”.

You basically have to use one of those to get anything out of the river near me, it's all super fine flour gold below the dam. Once I get my new car (new to me at least.. planning on a Mini) I want to take a trip up to Auburn and try up on the high side of the Bear River or even the American. I've seen some videos of people checking cracks up there and finding some pretty good sized nuggets, even now. I've got to get a new pack before then though.. mine kind of broke on me, but then it was free off of facebook so.. what can you expect? I'd love to send you some bottles of the cons from the river down here and see you work them, it's so fine and there's so much black sand and zircon powder in it that it'd be interesting to see how you'd cope with it :P

@easternwoods4378 5 лет назад

Hi Dan. I'm starting to get the impression that searching for gold is more a reason to get out in nature and enjoying the out doors rather than a big money maker. Nothing wrong with that. The finding of gold just helps to pay for the hobby. I'm a little concerned when you roast or have lead in the process that you are subjecting your self to hazards.

It is really about being outdoors. I am very careful with the smelting process.
