The Gustavus Thread

I feel that is the way to go with it.

The new set up is actualy working better than I originally had it.

Barren do you care to venture a guess as to the metal in the tan streaks in picture number two below.

I would say there is a good possability that it is gold.

I like that motor set up better.

Excellent job.

Yes I would agree the tan streaks are gold. another observation I made as I neared the bottom of my tub about the last two inches of mud there was a major colour shift as the tan material begun to disappear from my cons recovered from the bowel. It would appear whatever is laying near.the bottom of the tub is heavier than gold.

I'll be spending sometime this afternoon re-running the spent material ( tailings ) through the centrifuge or better put my lack of experience on operating the centrifuge missed any cons.

Metals I expect to recover from the cons.

Silver, Gold,Tantalum, Germanium, Palladium, Platinum, will send the dregs out for assay to see what is left.

I think the heavier sediment goes along with what we talked about the other day. Looking very good so far.

Agreed. and there is not all that much of it.

I squeezed another 1.5 lbs out of the tailings there could be more but decided to leave the tailings to test the new centrifuge which will be built around a totally new design.

Barren maybe you and I could make a summer of it, going to some of the small gold claims up North working their tailings ponds for a share with the owners. All we need is a slush pump to feed the mud into the centrifuge.

This centrifuge has by far exceeded all my expectations, it is an incredible machine and the new model will even be so much more improved.

I'm going to be a prick not sharing the plans publicly on this new centrifuge build.

You owe me an email.

This about wraps up this thread for me, if your interested I put out a challenge to GRF members which may also conclude the thread I have going on over there on the same topic.

Another 1-1/2 lbs.. Looking better all the time.

Maybe you should start processing the material so you will have sumer project to work on next year.

I'm curious how well it would work on the cat material!

Now that would be fun to go start working that material at some of the camps. With some work it wouldn't be hard to make a rolling setup to be able to pull up and start working the material.

I'm impressed with how well it has worked. And I think going with the plastic was the better way to go over the AL desighn you 1st started with.

I don't really see that it would prove much purpose to have 2nd building of one publicly, you have put the idea out there for people to work with, that should be enough.

Yea I need to go back and answer the last one we had.

And again awsome job on this.

When I'm finished this job cash in hand I have a new project already planned, build centrifuges to sell, but that's another story we'll not get into it here. i just hope that i don't go and do something stupid like buy another truck.

I beleive the weighty material below the tan coloured material is of the platinum family.

I had a 45 gallon drum full plus another large container full of network cabling plugs which I fed into my hammer mill to liberate the gold plated pins, this project sat unfinished two years the pins sitting in acid. Couple days ago started neutralizing the acid.

This eveing ran the resulting mud through the machine, at first I thought WTF copper.

After digging the copper free from the groves found the gold had lodged itself in behind. For those that don't know the cons in the pictures below is a mixture of gold and copper.
