Yes. The cone mold allows the heavier metal fraction to freeze in the point. The steep sides encourage any beads that may linger to migrate towards the bottom as well. When you empty a cone mold and break off the cone, or pyramid in your video, inspect the slag that was close to the metal cone for beads that didn’t make it to the metal cone before it solidified.
While we are at burning filter media.
I have a video link where people use round bottom containers to recover traces of gold and then collect the bead from the bottom of the container, let me just check and get back with the video.
