WHAT TO DO WITH BLACK SAND???

[blynch35]

I have heard that you can sell black sand and or melt it for super fine gold in it, is this true and what else can you do with it?

You can sell the black sand. Pull out the magnetic and then just screen it. People buy it on Ebay.

Try a professionally run, no hockus-pockus processors. Have a look to see if it fits. TCB Metals and Refining

I’m actually building a sand collector currently. Basically a large funnel with a valve and motor to shake everything. Hoping to concentrate the heavies to the bottom and then crack the valve to let them out the bottom. I’m in Ohio, we have tons of black sands, lots of super fine gold, silver and some other bright silver flakes, not sure what they are. I figured I’d get a fair amount, roast them and then smelt them. It’s worth a shot!

I'm sceptical of the vibration idea. Hook a water supply to the outlet of the funnel. You can regulate the water flow and create a fluid bed of sorts to concentrate the black sands, gold, etc. in the neck and a small area above it. Classifying all feed to like sizes will make the process most efficient.

Good luck.

I agree. I do have plans to build u trap in place. Allowing me to add water from the bottom. Less vibration and more a side to side shearing motion, like from a motor with a of center plate mounted to the frame of the unit and the vessel. Should in theory act like the stratification action of a pan. I plan to weld some studs inside the vessel as well, something the material has to work around to avoid clumping.

Thanks for the suggestion.
