I'm sure it was a bit warm, but not enough water had contact for long enough (to get to boiling temp) to matter very much

It wouldn't have been at boiling point that quickly, but if you throw something of either extreme heat into cold or vise versa, it's gonna react and expel. It's like when you add frozen fries into the oil too fast. the cold water causes the hot oil to pop and expel

@@jwalster9412 you clearly didn’t understand the comment

@@jwalster9412 he melted silver and copper into it though, which makes it more complicated and expensive to re separate, and he already made a video on how to do that. I don't know what his future plans with it are

Totally uncontrolled laugh when he said that!!!

Glad he didn't had to say that in his good ol' home made nitroglycerin videos..

my reaction too tbh

not the first time he said that :)

"...........okay"

Good to see you and Slim here, I just came over from your last video. I hope you and Cody keep up the awesome work, and hit a little paydirt along the way. 😁👍

What you don't know is he is going to pave a railway from house to the mine using only gold and platinum.

@@whatsappvideos9665 Most wealthy people are wealthy because of their actions, their culture, and their intelligence. Highly intelligent people tend to have highly intelligent children. Thus the wealthy family nonsense.

He could paint this thing black and put it on a shelf and no one would look twice at it. I had a family member that painted a silver bar black and used it as a door stop. It was still sitting on the floor when he came home to find he'd been robbed.

@@mrfatibe the only issue with that is that someone (with no imagination) who doesn't know what it is will Throw it away assuming it's something not valuable or dangerous lead, like if you put money in a shity book that gets covered in s*** somehow.

That is very true. He is by far one of the best and most genuine channels I have come across

Imagine what would happen if they found out what the hadron collider could do.

@@hippy_flip tbh that makes gold atoms at the time would probaply take thousands of years to make a noticable amout of gold.

@@alfepalfe The energy cost to run it is way higher than the value of any material they could make with it

You realize you he bought the gold right? he didn't just chemistry it into existence, he refined it he made a profit maybe.

@@hippy_flip if i did my research correctly, the LHC can theoretically produce gold at a rate of 1 milligram of gold per *year* per kilowatt of beam power.

you should look into watching dr. stone, cool scifi show that's about restarting civilization from the stone age. main character reminds me of you

Thanks, I'll take note of that

Cody thank you for continuing to post quality content in the years I have watched you. I hope you realize that no one can really replace what you create on this platform I mean this seriously like who would use 26 thousand dollars worth of gold to make a railroad spike and then have the nerve to drive it into the ground? only you. Or walk on mercury or put mercury LITERALLY IN THEIR MOUTH only Cody. I just hope no one rushes this man because he creates perfection and without him there is a void. I am sorry to read that the last couple years have been hard on you and hope everything works out everyone who watches you truly loves and supports you regardless of what you want to do just stay safe man.

damn my road trip to get a gram is in a random field, do you have the lat and lon for me to go pan

Ya, not going to spend many hundreds of dollars to make the trip to try and pan about $32 worth of gold. :-)

probably lost $25 just from pounding it against that rusted iron

Would be better if he could start minning again

It was a very weird feeling, glad to see I wasn’t the only one

How else would you do it?

@@theCodyReeder obviously with a pristine lab environment, special anti-risk tape and at least 2 glass boxes so the shiny metal cant escape

@@theCodyReeder tbh, exactly how you did it. Though mine would be like a dime sized nugget of gold and a couple ounces of silver and copper. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SCIENCE!!

@@theCodyReeder he wouldn't. That's the point lol

I thought he was going to comment how casting things is always much harder than you expect.

I was like oof That's gonna hurt

"Khajiit has spikes if you have the coin"

Indeed. Until you return to find the entire track was serviced and replaced.

@@Shepard_AU that's why you find an abandoned line that won't get touched because it's cheaper to leave in place.

@Ben David but that's the first place the feds are going to look!

You could conceal it even better by lowering the purity to 14k or 10k, but you would need more spikes. You could also make an alloy with copper, giving it a rose color. I feel like the best way to conceal gold is to make wire with it. Not only will it be hidden, but it makes a great conductor, so you can use it around the house for things like you’re speakers.

Just bury in the ground somewhere where nobody can or will metal detect

I concur!

Agreed!

Indeed!

Well said

Same here, wish you health and happiness! God bless you.

@@Urstupidumbass Commitment to not being poor

@paul beenis I've heard iron spikes driven before, I'd say the sound was higher pitched and faster oscillation then iron... The ring was "sweeter"

Gold alloy not good for acoustics. That short stock of rail was what was ringing. Notice how the ringing got louder as the gold spike pinched it to the log. That's because the rail had suddenly better acoustic coupling with the log. The log acted as a resonator, the spike was like the bridge and the rail was like a string.

Shouldn't its increased mass/density offer different acoustics? I'm okay with being wrong, and maybe it's any number of variables (microphone, speaker, mentality). Maybe Cody can run an experiment testing the acoustical properties of different metals/alloys?

@@Enakronizum take lead for instance. It has high density less than gold but is ductile and absorbs sound energy. Conversely, aluminium can be very resonant material. I will tell you this: the density of a particular mass has less to do with it's ability to resonate than it's physical structure. Copper makes a horrible bell, but add a little tin or zinc and you get a harder material with good acoustic properties.
