This image was pirated from another site, you may recognize the chain mill. Reno Chris has the same chain mill he has a cyclone dust collector on his mill, he goes to far as to refine the dust for values.We take precautions respirators and wind our chain mill is outside but thanks for the heads up. There are hundreds of old mines and mill sites all around this area and I've been drinking well water for over 50 years. This is just a hobby for us here's today's button and my hand We melted all the fines collected out of various ore samples and melted not smelted. It took two melts to clean up but turned out nice. 27.5 grams. Back to crushing rocks to decide which pile of waste rock we should be hauling home. Just reweighed 28 grams scale was cold this one is on the way to town we need supplies.
If there's any arsenic in that dust spewing from your chain mill, your contaminating the area.
In the bottom image you clearly have no idea of how to use a cupel.
Educate yourself and spend some time reading Hoke's book.
If your not here to learn, then why are you here.
