I landscaped for a few summers and we would go through a number of those diamond blades. Once they cracked, or started cutting slowly they were finished. I bet there were thousands of diamonds left. I think I recall the blades being something like $400-500 for a 13" blade and maybe $700-800 for the 18" blade and they were literally thrown out when they were finished. If you went up to a construction crew or landscaping crew asking for some broken blades I bet you could harvest a ton of diamonds and find a use for them. Maybe make another home made ring with small diamonds embedded in it. Just give it a little sparkle. That would be really cool.

There is a kernel of truth that there is the aspect of artificial scarcity with diamonds with a few large companies having a near monopoly on their sale this does not mean that they're worthless or common. It's not like quartz lol. Also after (iirc) 2008 we passed the peak of diamond mining so since then fewer and fewer diamonds get mined per year so artificial scarcity will eventually become real scarcity.

I was an inspector of highway construction. The contractor bought a three-foot diamond saw blade. The shop keep said he could bring it back when he was done. After sawing concrete slab for a month, he noticed the blade was going slow. On inspection, all the diamonds were Gone.

You can sharpen / dress a diamond blade by cutting softer material which will wear off the old dull diamonds and remove some of the blade matrix, exposing fresh sharp diamond.

+81OH4Z4RD I don't think the blades were dull. They probably took the diamonds from the blades somehow. That's why they said all the diamonds were gone

I was a concrete cutter for 14 years and never once thought, where did the diamonds go haha. the simple answer is who cares, until now. A saw blade has approximately 20 tooth segments costing around $10NZD each, and each segment contains between 200 to 300 hundred diamonds, hence why nobody tries to cover them. The mud/dust is called slurry and has a ph of around 12.5 and once dry the dust should not be inhaled due to the silica, which with long-term exposure can lead to siliceous. This is a great video and if I was still cutting I would also try and recover some diamonds just for the fun factor.

Hey Cody haven't watched your videos for a while but I've become hooked again lately. The newer ones are much improved, not that the older ones were bad. Doing a great job. Somehow I missed this one previously. I have previously been involved with the search for microdiamonds back in the hollers of Carolina. Learned a bit along the way. It turns out that panning for microdiamonds is not terribly efficient at finding them because the panning operation depends on more than specific gravity but also size, shape, surface tension etc. Most common silicate rocks have specific gravities of about 2.5 - 2.8 while diamond is about 3.5, gold though is about 19. The way we did it is to pan the samples conservatively then add the sediments to sodium hydroxide (dry) and place in a furnace at 500°C for 24 hours. That will digest just about everything but the diamonds leaving a puck of sodium silicate which can be dissolved in water. This is the way mineral exploration companies do it.

Nice! for sure that is diamond! You are right the diamonds don't wear out, the bonding metals wears out and lets go of the diamond first. Same goes for cubic boron (CBN). Warning do not make the GF an engagement ring from diamonds you salvaged from the road side! No matter how 'cool' they are there is something that De Beers has programmed into women that makes them want a 'real' one. Note... I'm not married. Real diamonds be damned.

hes doing that by heating the particle and causing the water around it to heat-up and rise. the particle then gets caried in the stream. if you would use a larger thing like a wood marble(that sinks) you could stear it around with the laser.
