Recovering My Lost Gold?!?! How Much??

Next: collect samples from the ground you always work on, see how much precious metals were spilled or blown away as dust.

This channel is very underrated! Great recovery experiment Jason. I'm not trying to lecture as I know you are well aware of the risks, but I find myself worrying about your chronic lead and heavy metal exposure when doing this type of work repeatedly over time. I see that you use appropriate PPE gear when you are doing high risk stuff (dust/fumes/etc) but stuff still slips through even the best PPE protocols. I would highly suggest building a high flow vent hood workbench to work in....would love to see a build video!

I love the efficiency of the “how much am I missing” videos

I may have no idea what I'm talking about, but couldn't you built more of a funnel under the jaw crusher so the material can go straight into a five gallon bucket instead of transferring it from the tray to the bucket by hand? Just a thought :)

The soapy feeling from the caustic is your body oils/fats pretty much turning into soap. It’s a good idea to neutralise it with a mild acid, I’ve found beer is a fantastic neutraliser but working at a brewery so that’s mostly convenience. Any carbonated drink or vinegar would be fine.

Really enjoyed this - especially the chemistry -- more please!! Would also be interested to see how much metal you get back from the spill when you poured into the cone moulds together with recovered material from the crucible leak in the furnace.

You know I swear when I watch your videos you look like you're having absolute ball you're having fun and I have fun watching your videos I'm learning a lot from your videos and I do appreciate what you're doing for everybody you take care and I'll keep on watching you keep on melting and I'll keep watching

Cool video Jason. Never thought about this one. At the very least, you get to recover your 5 gallon buckets ; )

Fascinating video! I love the hands-on chemistry. You even brought out the MOLES!

Thank you for all of your content. You have a flair for explaining complicated things well.

9:00 "my slag or Flux is really basic" just in time for fall we find out Jason uses a pumpkin spice slag mix. ❤️🤣

Love your videos! Been watching for well over a year and every video is very entrainment! Keep it up Jason

This was really interesting and appreciated! These videos are really fun and educational to watch. Do your sludge tank next!

Thanks Jason. Really educational and valuable show! That's a cool shaker.

I Always enjoy your videos Jason, Thank you for all you do for us on your channel 👍

I think this was the most interesting and educational video you have done. Thanks for making this video.

New member here. I saw the video you and Dan did together. I was impressed. Thanks for posting part of your experiences.

Absolutely love watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. It's appreciated.

Very cool. And you got that inquiring mind where you did the extra work for fun and experimenting. Fun video thank you.

Better living through applied chemistry. Thanks Jason, this was an interesting video and a great reminder of college chemistry. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle autumn weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
