Gold Ore

[southfork]

A little sample that was found with a metal detector. Crushed by hand then panned to wash away some of the dirt and clay? The photo is macro so real small particles, but the quartz shows and what looks like iron and free gold. I think we need a small smelter to retrieve the values trying to speed up the recovery what's your thoughts ?

Today my son and his friends hammered and chiseled along the stringers where the detectors were sounding off. Lots of gold showing I have plenty to crush for a few days.

Besides being a Troll, I have many other skills. I can weld.

I don't use a chain or hammer will to reduce the size of my quartz, I made a small ball mill, after firing the quartz in the fire box while the milled stuff is being roasted for the second time.

After spending time in the fire the large chucks of quartz are easily broken with the ball mill which takes chunks as large shown the the stainless steel pan.

The large piece of quartz in the black plastic bucket shattered with one blow of the claw hammer.

So you wouldn’t recommend running a chain pulverizer wet? I’m confused. SF doesn’t have a ball mill? Doesn’t appear from your photos that you run your ball mill wet either? Am I missing something in your photos? Your processed material looks nice and dry. Also well ground.

The instructions from the mfg say to run it dry it makes a little dust but powders the ore. Finer the better water would just slow the process and make mud from hell. I just take the end plate off and brush all the powder out and clean the screen and I'm back to work .

I agree based on actually using a chain impact pulverizer.

This is right out of the vein and into the crusher today. The ore is pounded into little gold balls Happy Mining

Alloy you might research patented claims while you are in the search mode.

I’m absolutely positive you have a meth lab on that property

As a catalytic converter buyer, I doubt you'll find a meth lab on the premises, last year I had a still in my shop, used the ethanol to make glycerin soaps.

Ya,ll really shouldn,t let this deteriorate to this level. Moderators take a dim view of insulting posts outside of the politics thread.

When I started getting my pension I quit buying cats, it's easy to leach out the platinum group metals. from the comb.

What you'll soon learn is selling the platinum group metals is not that easy as the markets are much to volatile.

What's your point - let southfork speak for himself, if he posts a valid ownership certificate I'll issue an apology.

I enjoy a good mystery novel, but this story just has too many holes in it. From gold right out his back door, float then old tailings then today a vein from the mine.

This is South Fork's son repyling to your abhorrent behavior. I do not like my father to be slandered, even on an online forum and consider what you're saying disrespectful, jealous and childish. Everything I'm doing is 100% legal, ethical and the product of pure hard work and research. This is private. You can do all the paranoid research you find necessary to assuage your own lack of finding gold but you still won't be finding gold. I have heard about your behavior on here as being a nuisance more than an asset and that's sad. It's incredibly common to have jealously as a child but when you reach adulthood it's your job to become an adult. I'm not sure what your issue is I think it's the evidence of production. I don't claim jump, I do not steal, I work in heavy machinery and I work incredibly hard and I am proud of myself and what I do. You are slandering my work and my passion and calling my father who also built his home himself and worked his whole life and has never stolen a cent a liar. I am not sure how the moderators work on this forum but I will find out- I have many friends in the relic and prospecting community, friends who also frequent this page. What you're doing is harassment. My father is 76 and having a blast helping me process the gold and we do it with honesty and joy and good will. As far as your CIA level phone tapping espionage and threats, I also use Apple products and maybe you can do your research about them getting any kind of "information" off my phone. The BLM operates on a glacial pace as do most government agencies in the United States. So I wish you luck in your endeavors but I need to urge you to stop your harassment and poor behavior. Everything I do in my life is ethical and the result of hard work. I hate even wasting my time responding to someone with so little respect for themselves that instead of being supportive and encouraging you are threatening and frankly weird. I will be reporting your behavior to moderators as I believe this should be a place of sharing, learning and community and what you bring to the table is threats and disruption.

South Fork"s son Seth, my apologies to your father, unfortunately, no one reported the thread when the problem first started so I am late to the party. Alloy is on a 6-month timeout, a repeat offense will be a year.

SouthFork and Son, You may want to hang on to some of those samples without crushing them. It appears you may have more value keeping them as specimens. Gold in quartz can be worth well over spot price. Just my opinion, but could be worth looking into.
