Welcome to the forum from Port Allegheny,, Pennsylvania

Thank you! I'm curious as to what gold from PA looks like. Have any pics?

Well I did a lengthy roast last night to get rid of the mercury. I put it in the middle of my large yard and stayed away. Boy was there some noxious fumes off this stuff!

Awesome! Welcome to Tnet!

Alright I went to the refiner in Eagle River earlier. I brought my 100 mesh, and the 50 mesh. He used his analytical equipment to determine content. I have had a big shocker. So, last night I thought from my cleaning of the 100 mesh, that I was seeing either copper, or even a mix of pyrite into it, but the content is 18% gold! Just shy of 3% silver! The 100 mesh weighs about 8 ozs, so do the math. I think I hit the golden lotto lol. I'll add pics if this quirky uploader lets me. Nope, won't work. Anyway I'll post a video later. Due to high iron content they have to process for me in Fairbanks because of the need for an electric furnace. After a week or so I'll post cool vid.

Here's a brief YouTube vid with refiner results today. i apologize for the glare, but you can still read the analysis.

I wound up mailing my batch to the Fairbanks refiner today. He was asking over the phone and expressing concern that the material could be "low-grade". He has probably dealt with a lot of people saying the same about various black sand samples, only to wind up as pyrite rich, and gold poor. It turns out that much of the black stuff, seems to be very tarnished silver, and stuck to the gold. Even though the sample was assayed with around 69% iron. I checked the whole sample with a giant rare-earth. Not a single piece of magnetic iron. Seems like an extreme reversal of tradition in fighting with magnetic junk!

Here's a few pics of results from the 4.6 grams. Not perfect, but is highlighting the incredible amount present. One lesson to learn here people, is that larger amounts of gold can be very sneaky!

Ore Sample after Smelting at Ag Melting point (around 1750 f)

Ok well it seems as though the photo uploads on TNET, at least for me are completely non-functioning. I'll have to use a Google Drive link. I promise you peeps my Google Drive has no Malware or any foodoo miracle ***** extending offers. You can click either link and see an incredible sight. I had to reduce all down to 100 mesh manually. This took me around 11 hours over the past few days with the "manual" method. I predict payout at around $3k, but I'll update when I know. My hourly wages at are around $247 so far. If you're scared of wasting time looking for ore and processing it down to 100% mesh (manually) (which is slow yes). However this is the kind of love you can get.

I'd suggest to admin to check for bugs in uploading.
