Too much GOLD ???

hey everybody welcome back to the flower gold wizard Channel we got off work a little early today due to rain it's gonna start pouring out here anytime but we're out here in the shop high and dry I got all the boys with me and a special package all the way from Alaska from Tony Owens up at Glacier Creek Mining Company this came right out of his giant sluice up there on his mining claim and he says it's loaded with gold now we have a special deal me and him he sends me big packages and I root through them and see how much gold is in there and then I pay for it and he gives me a pretty good deal too let's see what we got in this can over here this Con this big old can right here that there is a 10 or 12 pounder for sure and he's got his stickers plastered all over his baby that's for one thing now I've already got this opened up I thought I'd bore you with that process or I wouldn't bore you with that process and I have that stuff all classified up over here and they're different sizes because that'll make it much easier to pan that stuff from Alaska is notoriously hard to pan for some reason and we've looks like we've got some big stuff here everything that would not go through a quarter inch Class fire and there isn't all that much maybe a few tablespoons or so and there is some magnetics in there see that matter of fact there's magnetics in all this stuff right here look at that slide on over to this next size here magnetics magnetics magnetics although it's not as bad as the beach but it's still magnetic so we're going to go ahead and get all them out of there it's just less stuff that we have to process in the process well we might as well say hi to all the boys as long as we're here we got big rig bone yeah he was happy to see me come home a little bit early today that's right he likes hanging out in the shop and we got our little main man Rex hey buddy and we've got the Moose dogger yeah okay all right back with the program I've noticed getting gold from Tony in the past that some of the larger pieces especially the big nuggets they're mixed with some kind of material sometimes it's black or brown I'm assuming a lot of it's going to be Iron so if we do get any magnetics like these here in our larger material I definitely just don't want to pitch them off I want to definitely inspect those pieces just to make sure they're not half gold or quarter gold or you know or whatever we definitely don't want to be throwing gold out the window so we're going to take and get all the magnetics out of this stuff classification by each itself just so I don't get confused although I don't know how the heck that would happen all right let's start with our larger material and work our way down and again this is all the stuff that would not go through a quarter inch classifier so we'll go ahead and spread that out nice we'll just smash our magnet on there and there's some pretty nice looking pieces right there and you can see that dirt you know definitely some iron mixed in with that stuff for sure and we'll go ahead and put that right in there yeah it was actually a little more than I thought there would be in this larger stuff they definitely have some heavy material out there especially coming off of a an operating gold mine I mean you're gonna have bits of nails and bolts and nuts and all such like that I've really gotten some piles of iron from Tony in the past but that's just fine that's all the fun you never know what you're gonna get all right what else do we got here I think we just slow got it that's it here's our magnetics let's get a up close and personal inspection right after we grab a little something out of the fridge of wonder oh looks a little low [Music] God darn it I know I had some bubble wrapper on here somewhere where where in the heck did it go hmm all right here's our magnetics from the plus quarter inch right here I just happen to have a couple of buckets of water this one's rain water even got some little pine needles in there but we'll go ahead and we'll just pan this right off get the dirt out of it that's not too much material we can just pull that right back I would imagine give it a quick inspection I don't expect to find too much for nuggets in here by any means you guys can look right along with me and I don't see I don't really see any gold at all nope but that's just fine we have a mountain a material to go through here yet that is for sure so we'll go ahead and we'll get rid of this somewhere yep and then we'll go ahead and pan through all the non-magnetics plus quarter inch you never know all right here's all that material right here this stuff is a little bit dirty this larger stuff is probably going to be less dirty than all that smaller material but we'll get through it nonetheless I think doing it like this any any heavy super heavy gold nuggets this size will definitely be stuck at the bottom so I'm not too concerned with any losses in this size right here and it does go quite quickly there that's probably enough and we'll go ahead and ink that back I mean if you find gold this size it would stand out like a sore thumb for sure some of which Rigby does not have otherwise he'd be helping right now and yeah there's no gold in this stuff whatsoever it's it's pretty easy to see so we're gonna head go ahead and move on to our next classification all right now we're working from top to bottom our next classification is everything larger than this 20 mesh screen right here them uh big half inch screen classifications are only on there to support the screen uh for the 20 mesh right there and I get all these classifiers from Jim's junk he sent me these quite a while back when I've I've been using the heck out of them so go we'll go ahead and check this material out right here trying to steal my gold long yet yeah you tell them I tell you all right I'm gonna switch up to a little smaller size pan that was a great big huge old mine lab pan back there and I'm gonna switch over to my slightly smaller XP pant and we'll go ahead and grab this pan out of this pan put it in that pan we'll just pan out small amounts like this right here because it's going to take quite a while and I don't want to bore you guys on every single one so we'll go ahead and shake this on up now as you can see by the bubbles I do have some Jet dry in the water that breaks the surface tension and prevents gold from polluting now Tony did send me a couple of videos of him working on this stuff and uh he does some pretty big pans at a time and they're Mighty impressive when he gets down to the bottom absolutely loaded with gold he thought there might be an ounce or at least an ounce in here and maybe two ounces in here so I'm fairly excited about what we're gonna find in here and if and it really looked like a lot of flower gold too and that stuff is really easy to pan out right there and doing this one-handed without my glasses why don't I ever put those darn glasses on I don't see any gold off hand but let me get this a little bit more inspected with some with some Spectacles on and we'll see so now we did take our time we rooted through that very little bit of material right there and I'll tell you why this stuff is so darn hard to pan out that he gets sends you that right there is gold let me put that into three you see that and then there's a couple pieces right next to it right there that are not this stuff is really chunky and but it's flat I don't know if I can get that picked up I'm looking through a number three camera right here and it washes right back just along with all this other stuff right here and it's heavy some of this stuff is just as darn heavy as that gold it seems like so you really got to take your time with this or you're gonna lose it so I'm going to take a few minutes go through the rest of that plus 20 material right there get all the gold out of it take a look at it now we'll move on Down the Line P.S if anybody out there is looking for fashion tips on work apparel you just go ahead and ask there's more video update we're grinding away here but I just wanted to show you how tedious this is right here look at the color of some of the gold in this pan right here quite dark and it Blends right in with a lot of those other rocks I mean some of that gold is pretty easy to pick out but a lot of it is not and it just does not react to the tap method whatsoever I mean you can get it all to move up to the corner but then you still have to flatten it all out and go through it piece by piece it's taken a while as you can see all right we're moving right along here we've got that classification all done let's take a look at the Gold so far all right I've got it in this little container right here it's all dried out nice we'll give it a little dump and inspect it just like that it'll spread her out and you see what I mean by Dirty you really gotta have a sharp eye to get all that gold that dark stuff there is 100 gold guaranteed so we got our work cut out for us now this stuff here is quite a bit smaller there isn't a whole lot of material in this classification here so I might just pan that one but I think I'm going to run that one through my cleanups loose let's begin with this one now this stuff here should be pretty darn easy it's all the same size once you get down into the smaller classifications like these right here that there's a a 40 mesh we put it through a 20. then the gold is going to guaranteed be the heaviest thing in the pan if everything's the same size so we'll put all that stuff in a pan at once I mean if we can pan on the beach we can pan in my shop from with some material from Alaska can't we and uh yeah this stuff here is quite a bit easier in that last batch I probably should have classified I don't have them but I should have classified down a little bit uh smaller increments you know a quarter 3 16 and uh eighth inch Etc but I just don't have those classifiers here and that yeah this stuff was quite easy indeed there's a lot of late material in there and it floats right off it looks like it's turning red maybe a little bit like there might be some garnets uh Sands in here we'll go ahead and pull that back and it is absolutely loaded with gold and that was like I said quite easy once you get everything the same size the Golden Rule gold is heaviest gold wins and in this case it's right on the money I'll get this down into let me grab the camera and I'll show you exactly what we're looking at up close there it is I see that all all this material here is the same size and that gold is way heavier than all this other material and it was quite easy to pan quite fun too that last batch really threw my eyes for a loop but uh this stuff here is quite nice let me get that out of there and get it into a little pan we'll dry it out as well all right let's see where we're sitting so far get my scale teared out here here's our gold from the two largest classifications we'll go ahead and there are three actually we'll get those dumped on there what do we got six point four two six point four two so we really need something special all right out of that to make an oats let's see what happens and we're ready to roll I hope there's like 24 25 grams in there but we'll see first things first we gotta grab a little something else out of the fridge of wonder that's right yeah we got a couple more in there nice and cold let's begin grab a scoop throw it on there and hope for the best so far so good that's all gold holy cow there might be a gram in that scoop right there that's where we Excel flower gold I absolutely love flower gold sure nuggets are nice and especially those ones that Ding off a ding off a big old metal pan but I just absolutely love seeing flower gold fill up a sluice like this or make a big smile in a pan and he can't contain his excitement either so let's run the rest of this through there and cross our fingers well I'd say we're about halfway done with that that's looking all right let me turn this down so we can see what's going on a little bit solid gold baby these babies are all filled up with gold these little spinnerettes and these drop riffles for sure so I'm gonna get this crank back up just like those boys are cranked up let's check on moose yep he's pretty cranked up too oh it's getting exciting let's grab another one stick it on there [Music] that's right well we're just over half done and it's been determined that there's too much gold in this loose to keep running it's starting to spill out and over these small Ripples and these things are jam-packed with gold and it's not re exchanging material anymore so this is getting exciting I'm gonna go ahead and dump this out to that third bucket run the rest on some fresh water here comes the water yeah piece of cake and just like that TV magic all those concentrates are in that pail right there now I just threw one little scoop on there with some fresh clean water I still have my tailings in there and that's how much gold is in one tiny scoop oh man this is awesome that little speed controller is imperative I tell you what so let's grab another one teeny little scoop throw it on there see what that one looks like well it's pretty darn good too all right back to business and kablamo it's all in there and it's looking really good again those babies are absolutely loaded with gold I turn this thing way up and there's quite a bit of heavy material in there and it just doesn't want to move so we're going to go ahead and grab our pail with all our other concentrates in there stick that in there too and get some fresh water so we can actually see what we're doing because that stuff is filthy and it stinks all right now here's our concentrates right here not a whole lot so we'll go ahead and squirt that on out into it into a pan here if you could see what I could see right now you'd be giggling too this chock full of gold just load it with gold very nice of cleat holy cow let's take a look at it all right this is this is it right here just as we dumped it out looks pretty gold to me oh that's I don't know maybe two tablespoons maybe two and a half tablespoons or so but we'll go ahead and do this one-handed just to get a glimpse of what to expect and it is going to be really really good oh my God I live for this just live for it I mean I would take that before any gold nugget all day long just look at that oh my gosh that's a Galaxy trick on steroids right there all right let's get this stuff rolling I can't wait to see the end either cane all right we have a problem there's so much gold in this material it's proving hard to pan um I'm not sure I think I might have to break this up into smaller pieces because it's it's probably mostly gold I mean once I start getting it down or some of this stuff off of there the uh the gold seems to just take over I mean and I'm washing lots of gold back here but it's I I don't know if I ever had this much flower gold in a pan let me let me try this one time I'll flatten it out and get that all the way there is a small amount of black sand in here but not not a ton but I bet you there's dang near two tablespoons or teaspoons of gold in here for sure that holy cow let me do that again all right I gotta break this up into smaller batches jeez there it is that took a mighty long time right there and I had to play with the boys a little bit here and there looks pretty darn good there's a few little specks of non-gold in there yet but I tell you what that was tough but I do think we got a pretty darn close so we're gonna weigh this stuff up all right now we're gonna Snuffer this stuff up and we can do a little bit a little bit more of a clean up while we're doing that we'll just kind of tap it off to the to the one side there and then trying not to choke my my snuffered up too bad big problem when you got too much gold it chokes up your Snuffer so we'll give that another tap just hold that pan at an angle a little bit this way and get that gold down to this side and you see that black sand creeping right out of there that's how you do that at least that's one way to do it get them bubbles out of there oh my goodness this thing is just choking on gold uh tell ya all right we got her in our little pot right here we'll suck out the excess water just like that yeah so we don't have to boil water for two hours all we want to do is boil the gold get the moisture out of the gold there we go that won't take long at all it don't take long at all once you get all that excess water out of there it looks pretty good what are you looking for 24 25 grams or something like that to make an ounce I don't know how to do it let's see what's in there all right it's time for the big way up let me grab my little brush turn this puppy on and it's teared out here's our larger gold right here that's right we'll dump it in there and it was 6.65 looks like I think there's a Rigby here and there here's all our fine gold quite a pile indeed all right let's get The Dumping mm-hmm 9.3 15 4. 22 7. 31-4 there's an ounce for sure there is just a touch of black sand in there on the bottom but we're going to dump that on in there that was so much gold it's tough to get all that black sand out it was it's not a whole lot and give her a final little tap and we wind up with 40.9 I'm gonna say 40.5 just because of a little bit of black sand that's in there awesome thank you Tony very much well that was cool well over an ounce thank you again Tony uh you got a great mind up there I tell you what if you're getting gold like that each and every year you just keep sending it my way because we love pairing that stuff out that's for sure I hope you guys enjoyed it too because we sure did all four of us boys out here in the shop on a rain day and if you need any more fashion tips
