Awesome presentation. I ALWAYS learn something new from you. Thanks!

2024-09-30 08:06:03 +0000 UTCGreat video Cody. Well done! I wonder how much gold ended up in the tailings

2024-09-30 03:57:24 +0000 UTCgenius idea! also really satisfying to watch

2024-09-29 12:26:20 +0000 UTCi think so, my only concern would be changing the orientation of the magnetic field and possibly causing more iron to stay in the sand stream. his setup works well as is, so imho it'd only be worth tweaking if it avoided the need to run the tailings through again

2024-09-28 13:08:11 +0000 UTCshouldn't increased divergence result in both piles being more pure? Like the gap between them is bigger so the sand only lands outside the bucket vs on edge/inside

2024-09-28 10:26:15 +0000 UTCWait, did I math wrong?

2024-09-28 08:35:47 +0000 UTCif most the remaining dustiness is sand dust, will a chaff removal like method do good at making it much more pure?

2024-09-28 08:35:07 +0000 UTCif making mods, maybe add onscreen note with 680 lb or ~700 lb or something, just a thought [edit - added missing "or" and removed space after "~"]

2024-09-28 08:02:02 +0000 UTCingenious process! thanks for the explanation, i was going to ask how you came up with it :) if you slightly tilt the top of the magnet forward (over the sand) and/or the bottom backwards (over the magnetite), does it improve the yield? or does it just increase divergence between the streams while leaving more magnetite in the tailings?

2024-09-28 07:38:42 +0000 UTCsince you are trenching your arroyos, have you considered building beaver dam analogs? The guy at dustups ranch youtube got a grant to build like 20, in the most arid part of texas.
