Gold Hunter, Triple AAA video, the first one of yours I've seen, and learned much from the video and the comments also. Sulfides have me perplexed, but thanks to your video, I've learned so much more. In my adventures, I've picked up a few hundred pounds of rock with visible sulfides and gold, I have a pestle and mortar, but I need a dolly pot! I have a 6' diameter fire pit I made for burning bark, twigs, and rubbish from selling firewood and also branches from winter storms and scrap from lumber from projects I build, or refurbish. Last fall I had debris to burn and with a bonfire, I thought I would throw that rock in as I burned to roast the "rubbish" as you termed it and I raked the rock inwards keeping it in the coals as everything burned down until I could get close enough to start pulling the rock out and had a pail of water to throw them in thinking the thermal shock would fracture and make them easier to crush later with mixed results, however, I recently saw a video from VoGus on KZitem and he used a blower to add air and get extra hot which I have but didn't think of at the time and instead of throwing into a bucket of water, he dumped vinegar out of a jug onto the rock itself which he then crushed(?); it really looked like he was crushing chalk from the teacher's blackboard. I haven't done this yet, but I will soon this winter I will use a bucket with a gallon, or two of vinegar since it is cheap and I don't want to waste it, and I have maybe upwards of 20- 50 pounds of high grade with little veins and specks and also it looks like gold enriched silica coating this fragmented rock in area's, kinda like an electroplating done by nature and since the rocks are smaller and maybe specimens I'll use charcoal and a cast iron pan in my charcoal grill in much smaller batches directly from grill to vinegar bath so I don't boil all the vinegar out like I was doing with the pile of rock at the bottom of my fire pit and the bucket of water. I have never roasted sulfides before and now know I didn't get that rock hot enough, but mainly I wanted to make the rock easier to crush and maybe roast the sulfides at the same time, not. I am going to do my best stuff on the grill and see how that works keeping the gold natural and not pounded flat. I need to watch the video again of VoGus because I think he was just trying to make rock easier to break rather than roast sulfides and he was picking little lumpies out of what was solid rock. I believe Vogus is in Australia also; you prospectors from Australia rock! If I can get it hot enough I shouldn't have to redo the sand-sized sulfides, but probably will anyway and I would have thought the magnetics were like black sand out of a river- and set them aside until watching your video! I'll let you know how my experiment works out and do you think there is anything in the rubbish? I've subscribed and will watch the rest of your videos before I pester you with too many questions, thank you for this one. A Heads-up, I left Jeremy a sarcastic comment on one he left you from a year before, I hope you enjoy it!

Wish I could find a good old boy like you here in southern Oregon I got all the tools and the motivation just need more knowledge my great-grandfather did a lot of the gold panning and processing of I was just too young I remember finding a mason jar full of his Mercury when I was about 7 or 8 just a year or so before he passed away our backyard was full of hundreds probably thousands of different rocks from everywhere he'd been taking samples as a kid it was amazing go back there and find large crystals and agates and thunder eggs if I could have only been a little older and remember all the stories I count myself lucky to remember the little I did and to have known him as long as I did I appreciate you sharing the knowledge you have it's an amazing thing to learn look forward to more videos in the future

Mr. Jardine just started to research the possibilities of silver and gold in the areas in which I have previously hunted or fished mostly in Central PA. I have much to learn about the smelting process but I am fairly sure I have good instinct as far as reading terrain and water and locating areas that have high probability of high content silver and some gold. I have really started to research 1st vegetation such as vines,mushrooms,poke berries etc . Also have determined that some mountain laurel does not burn meaning the leaves and rather turns to flake silverand the yellow turned leaves turn to brilliant yellow and then to brown thinking there is possible gold content in them. PA has the most rivers and streams in all the 50 and many limestone and quartzed based streams that are very remote and decilate in some areas hard to access and full of mineral deposit and sulfides,sulfates,and telluride. Am amateur at this process but have become passionate about the process of locating and making an educated guess on deposit of silver and gold honestly I believe I have talent for this and no these woods and streams around here probably better than the head of the fish and game commission plus there is no Bush that I can not get through including 12ft tall buck laurel. Need to become more educated on the details of smelting and specific rock formation the mineral differences in color and some old school tricks for say that I am fairly sure u posses. If u could send me the simplest form or instruction or good literature to acclimate my ability to further improve my ability to become a better prospector and smelter. I would gladly take u with me on some adventures in good faith that u would not reveal location and would teach me some of ur tricks and wisdom on the process. I promise u will not be disappointed or broke when u leave I honestly have 7 sites within an 1hour lol so of my house the posses this ♥ minerals, plus u can eat fresh trout and possibly a grouse or whitetail for dinner with me. I need a old school teacher that cuts the bull and gets to the point and gets her done. Please take the time to enhance my ability to better myself in this profession I would greatly appreciate it 🙏 Jeremy is my name 5703940380.

Yeah the free mill gold is always easier ,that's why a lot of the old timers didn't bother with the sulfides , too hard and they often walked away from it , but i think it's a lot of fun , but dangerous ,especially with Arsenopyrites , i always put carbon in the roast , to neutralize it just incase , cheers guys and thanks for watching .

Great video Ned. I’ve been looking for a simple diy kiln and I really like the looks of your. I’m assuming those are fire bricks of some sort. Can you tell me who makes them and where I could order some for delivery in the US.? Me and a couple partners have three claims here in the mother Lode in California one of which is a hard rock with a lot of serpentine and quartz. I picked up a little 6 inch D ring impact mill run with a quarter angle grinder just for sampling and have a whole bunch of sulfites and a tiny bit of free milled gold. I’d like to set up a double burner propane unit and see what values the sulphide produce. Much appreciated. thank you Rodney
@GrooberNedJardine

Hi Rodney , that first kiln set up i had didn't last long , i upgraded to a bigger propane burner and made a better furnace out of a watering can , lined with refractory cement , and sleeved with Kaowool , a real beast . I have a video up showing it in action if you wish to view it , just check out my channel , the vid is called Smelting sulfides for Gold . You could buy a Devil Forge , i think their pretty cheap , but really the cheapest DIY kiln you could make is out of 2 inch Kaowool wrapped into a cylindrical shape tied round it a piece of wire , and mount it on a couple of fire bricks , use also the Kaowool for a lid . That's all Jason uses on his channel MBMMLC , Mount Baker Mining & Metals , hope that helps , cheers and thanks for watching and commenting , good luck .
