Thanks guys, we are hard at work. With a very nice Cu,Au,Ag content. We still need to figure out at which depth this stock pile is from. I think this new batch is from deeper than before.

 

[Dustedyou]

Im in love with those there^^ Very NAICE!

 

[hbprospector]

Thanks dusted,
I crushed liked six half dollar sized pieces tonight...saw some gold on the table. I'm going to crush the whole bucket tomorrow. I'll post pics of the results.

HB whats the smallest size of gold stopping on the table? I have about 200 lbs of ultra fine mixed with clay and im wanting to flush it out of the clay..lol as it were... IT gets sooo tempting to use Mercury

Little over half a bucket of vuggy rock

On to mass production! - hope that's a quiet ore crusher, or you insulate the garage for sound.

 

[Dustedyou]

lol there not quiet..lol but they do crush well..
Ive had to get Rolled Tungston hammer heads made for mine. and they wear out every 200lbs. so I only have been hitting the Vein.

Having to build a forge.. so got a 30 gallon air compressor tank this morning and 400 lbs of pumice (refraction) with a soft temp of 1734C it should do for the gold.. copper and silver.. as for the platinum I'm making a carbon arc reactor. The last grind Gave me well over 400 lbs of concentrate to pan. Ugg solo much to do solo little time! Lol pumice was @ a 4x4 hole so I got that in too!

 

[hbprospector]

That's crazy, I can't wait to see the Dore bars

 

[Dustedyou]

Forge complete had its first (heat treatment firing yesterday.. Love it easy and HOT.. Ill post picts with a full breakdown ..lol first burn it shot 8' flames out the top..yay! Anyhoo Ive got GOld Alloys again so this in a Retort configuration is going to help alot.. burn off the lead first ..tin etc etc.. then go for a naice silver button and rip the gold out with nitric acid (silver back with copper ) and apearantly (2 nuggets) we have a platinum flow.. 2.5 lbs of it sitting in a jar for processing.. so i need to build a carbon arc for that melt.hehe busy busy busy,, If it is truly platinum I think we might have just paid off the house! (GOD I wish)!

ASnyhoo m8 I posted on your new vein.. (loving the color) and put my thoughts into where to dig and why.. Id go deeper on the "V" veins... they probably meet and will give you a nice yield below.. GL and may ALL OF YOU be coverd in gold!

Can't wait to see your pics. Thanks for your help. I'll read them now.
