Here Is One Thing I Know About And I Live In Southern West Virginia But Magnetite Is Used For Cleaning And Washing Coal After It's First Been Mined And The Magnetite Is Crushed And Pulverized Into A Nearly Powder And When It's Added To Water, The Mined Coal Is Also Added And The Coal Will Start Floating To The Top And The Dirt, Sand, Clay And Other Debris Will Separate From It And Mainly Go To The Bottom Of The Coal Washers... Coal Washers Will Clean Raw Form Coal With Just Water To A Point But Adding The Magnetite Will Wash Coal Cleaner And Faster Because Of Helping The Coal To Float And Making A Better Separation From The Dirt, Rock And Other Debris....

@tanner882 3 года назад

If this is something that people do often maybe you could create some tools, like a trowel that is 12” wide but 1inch thin blade that has 90degree bends that lead back to a handle like an old metal rake, then you could just scrap the top of the material or pull it then come behind it and scoop it with a snow shovel? 🤔

@tambarb8235 2 года назад

So, you are basically the tri-athlete of diamond mining Olympics. After all the work you did, you deserve to find some diamonds. This is great because I have been thinking, like many Americans about visiting this mine. Now I know you can't just walk around and expect to magically find a diamond by looking on the ground.

@puvagirl03 4 года назад

Wow you work so hard! I have watched you do this several times, but this one makes me have a whole new appreciation for that diamond I won from you. Thank you for all the hard work and you just gave it to me for winning your gaw! I have it put up in a special place. And just love it! Good Luck my friend!

Thanks for sharing excellent information, your effort is truly appreciated! However, I assure you that diamonds are not floating, trying to get out of the water. They behave the same as any other heavy mineral, slaves to simple gravity, like gold.

I always look forward to your new videos because it seems I learn something with each one, and this video was no different. Thank You for sharing your hard earned knowledge. @27:54 I can relate, had the same thing happen last trip there, lol How often do you use a probe for finding covered gravel deposits?

@@DiamondMinerIvins The Boss(wife) is talking about going to CoD in mid September. She still has 8 vac. days to burn or she'll lose them on 12-1. That, and we have 2 home finds(.13 & .27 cts) to register from our trip last April. She also said if you're there, you are welcome to at least one BBQ at our camp, and she is *wicked* good with a grill. Maybe see you then.

@barrycook5707 4 года назад

Would the pig pen be a place to check with the probe to see if there are gravels a few feet down? If that is a low lying area, it might be a good spot for some deep holes? Let me know what you think? Did you find any diamonds out of your snake pit hole with that beast of a man! He was a machine until he ran out of energy. You need to bring lots of calories to keep your energy up all day. I am really excited to come out and help you in your pursuit of diamomds.💎 There is a spot to camp out also not far from the area, right?

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

It was hit pretty hard back in the day. Ask Glenn, he never got to dig there. not until long after James Archer passed away, and many other old timers. it was known for double digits.

@kimbain4368 4 года назад

This looks like an incredible amount of back-breaking work. I admire your tenacity. I'm a pretty new subscriber. Do you have elbow problems? This must be excruciating! Do you keep the crystals and gemstones that you find? How do you tell rough diamonds from crystals?

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

I messed my elbow up washing a few trip ago at the diamond mine. I keep all the quartz i see in my top classifier, not the bottom classifier. The diamonds have smooth, and rounded facets, the crystal have rough and jagged edges. Thanks for the support ⛏💎

@@DiamondMinerIvins Thanks for the info and the reply. Interesting to know. Btw, I've got bad knees and when they act up I find that flexible knee braces help greatly (amazingly!

@jimnelson7740 2 года назад

Seems like it would be smart to rake the top with tines about 3/4" apart to eliminate the really larger gravel before filling the buckets with the smaller gravel.

@DiamondMinerIvins 2 года назад

those larger rocks have deep cavities that can contain diamonds. That’s why we take all the large rocks up to the wash station. if you don’t you’re missing diamonds

@hacks9099 Год назад

Your comment that diamonds want to get away from water and so you need to look to the sides of a course of water to find them is curious as its specific gravity makes them sink like lead, which is why you wash your gravel the way you do to concentrate all the heavy minerals. Here is a suggestion that may make your task easier, one that all global diamond mine processing plants employ when washing gravel, why not use a grease table. A grease table is a method of diamond extraction whereby a gravel sample is run down a gently sloping table covered in a specialized grease. And because diamonds are hydrophobic, any diamonds present in the sample will adhere to the grease. (Diamonds hate water, but love grease, which is why they get dirty so fast in jewelry.) Then it is just a matter of picking off the crystals.

@DiamondMinerIvins 2 года назад

there was once a pig pen i that area when it was a farm, during the state park operation there was once 20-30 snakes down in that area, so it was named the snake pit
