Hello all. It's my first post. I came here to search the best guys, who can help me with this trycki ideea.
Ok, so i was thinking about this scenario:
I use the waterjet/sluice method. At the end of the day, i colect eerything from the sluice(gold+debris). Now i have to sort gold from sand, and u was thinking about using 1 of these 2 ways, or maybe combined:
A) use a magnet to get all of the black sand(ion oxides ?!!?) so that leves just some work to be done.
B) take everything and put it in a small electric furnace. because gold has like 1064 C melting point, and iron( and it's oxides i think , right ) has like ~1500C, the gold will start to flow in one direction before the iron oxides. And if that isn't enough, they also have diferent density, gold 19.3gr./ccm, and iron sulphate something like 11 or 12. So Thats a double cnahce to trick the hole stuff into separating it's self. I get everything to 1600 C , enough to melt everything, then the gold gows down, ythe iron up, i let them cool, and it's like oil over water, 2 separated layers.
Now even more , here's a list of diferent materials with theyr densityes. http://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/index.php So i was thinking of adding one more thing, i'll pick someting from that list, somethign that has a density betwen that of gold and iron, so that once it's all liquid, i'll have gold>something>iron. I would have liked if glass was betwen them, but it's not. Dry sand apears to have 16 density, betwehn 19,3 gold and iron sulphate 12. So i'll gest turn to quartz/galss and settle betwen gold and iron ? What do u think ? I have exactly 0 minutes and 0 seconds of gold mineing, but i'm thinking aobut it and i want to know if this will work. Oh, somethng else i don't know... this balck sand , i've heard that it may contain gold, so melting it all would free the gold inside it ? Right ?

. What next ? Will the black sand melt properly? At what temp? , cauz i don't think it's all just iron oxides, it's all sort of darn variations. :?:
