So according to the elite among us, no gold creek is in fact the richest gold mine on earth (Ref.-Red Neck series). Soooo, after being informed of this I decided to go from 30g samples (1/4 inch mason jar samples) to full 2-3 inch ore samples per mason jar. I will not say what rock (ore) type,, but it is in the REDNECK series. PROVEN non-gold bearing part of the usa, so deal with that too.
6 mason jars of crushed non-gold bearing ore from no gold creek.
Subjected to:
1 - HCL bath, maybe 3-4 days, then poured off into waste collection with iron.
2 - Then maybe 1/4 tsp of spectricide stump remover added with enough HCL to cover above crushed ore by 1 inch.
3 - Above allowed to sit outside for 1-2 days in ambient summer temp.
4 - Then added 1 tsp of sultamic (groute cleaner) acid and stir in ... and allowed to sit at ambient summer temp 2-3 days.
5 - Then decanted all 6 mason jars.
6 - 4 mason jars decanted to dark red/brown wine.... 2 decanted to golden yellow/egg yoke color
7 - Then mixed 1 full table spoon SMB into 1 inch of mason jar with water.
8 - Then I filtered the decanted solutions into the smb solutions (dripped the AR solution into the SMB)
9 - REDNECK results - The dark red/brown wine solutions created a massive white precipitate. (ref. - REDNECK cottage cheese thread) - 4 of the 6 mason jars
10 - REDNECK results - the golden / egg yoke solutions created a nice ultra file and heavy brown precipitate. - 2 of the 6 mason jars.
11 - per forum guidance, last time I got white precipitate that didn't react with sodium hydroxide to form a black goo i trashed it, but this time of the 4 mason jars I had a full hand full of white/gray precipitate (just too much to simply trash without figuring out wtf it was) and just wanted to set it afire !! so I did. All white cottage cheese and crystalized precipitated stuff into fire..... Here is where I need expert opines... what the hell do I have in the crucible ? It would not pour. across 4 mason jars I had what I would call a handfull (ie.- put hand into a beach and grab and handfull of sand.. that much) I took the full hand full of AR / SMB precipitated stuff, and added a full tablespoon of borax, and set it into the furnace and lit it up. Let it cook at 5 psi with top open for 10-15 min to burn off CL gas, then shut lid and put up at 30 psi for a half hour and at the end the stuff would not even put out, was as hard as a rock. EXPERT SMERLTERS please take a look at let me know what this burned solution might be ?
12 - of the two brown precipitated ore AR / SMB, two mason jars.... much less presipitate. It goes into the furnace tomorrow during the FL / LSU game (ref.-second pic). Will post results also. All coming from, according to the experts on the forum, the most rich gold mine... ON EARTH. yeeee-haaaaaa !!!!
13 - why do folks even bother prospecting for gold out west ? (fools)
pic gold - its the 1 gram per 300 gram pure gold out here. will smelt tomorrow and post pics. My best guess is that fools don't want to prospect on land that is privately owned... hence, all gold mines are on public (free land). Note to private land owners in the east... check for gold !!
pic white - this is residue that was not able to even pour after 20 min. at full 30psi in furnace... (iron?)... wtf..... is any one in the forum able to eyeball and give an educated opine regarding what metals might be in the goo derived from white AR / SMB precipitate ? myself, I see a couple spots when zoomed it that present gold.... but most is silver... a few round balls of metalic who knows what... and wtf is the red stuff ?
Chime in !! have fun... sling snot... disparage .... it's all good. RICHEST GOLD MINE ON EARTH here.. OUT !!.. night
