the gold fell off ! what? get out !!!!

Dorks do that

You make chemistry fun. If only we did cool experiments like this at my university's chem lab.

Hi Cody

no problem!

You should make some nitrocellulose and use it in your mine

and the number was wrong :P

I personally use Oil and Steel Wool, have not had a label that survived this.

Acetone or nail polish remover with acetone works about 100% of the time for me.

Do you not care about what is under the label because that will probably scratch it.

Doesn't that dissolve some types of plastic?

lucaspeltie Use only Oil if you don't want to scratch it, Oil binds the glue.

You know I try! :)

you must be real fun at parties

Hey. He wore gloves. What more do you want from the man.

Jack Black The thing is, gloves in chemistry can buy you some time, but it's still not recommended to shove your whole hand in a toxic solution!

simran jabbal And, if people at the parties you go to play with cyanide, I have to ask who you're partying with.

do you mean "bletch"?

You sicko

Jackson Hawkins Lol 😂

Trump agreed

So glad I wasn't the only one with that thought!!

He probably already made a few grand

More like 40 bucks

no no no cody, you're supposed to continue making people believe that you can make a few thousand bucks of 20,000 views!

If I converted all my KZfaq revenue to pennies I'd be rolling around in a very small pile of sweet sweet KZfaq revenue

Im counting your patreon because you plug it in the description

Ohh so that's why Amanda Todd did it

I saw the receipt. He was in Logan Utah. Or at least the Deseret Industries (DI) thrift store is in Logan. I live near Cody. Utah State University Student?

IKR

Yeah me too.

ikr

me too!

The best part of the gold videos. So satisfying.

That would be cool. Maybe he could do the same with other precious metals he has gotten

Whaaat, no. He should get a display case with each of the beads separated and a little note about how he got them. Build his own little Cody-museum :D

+Remus1033 That would be cool, but it would also be cool if he eventually got enough gold to cast his own ingot!

I thought he was planning to make a gold ring or coin out of it all

not on your life

Same accept generikb

a boner?

go watch primitive technology and i bet you get hooked!

be carful, primitive technology is extremely addicting, and he only uploads once a month.

primitive technology is a hard thing to do and very time consuming

lol yes

"now let's see how this mine faces up against... a 50 bmg"

Yes! Someone else showing some love for Matt and his channels Demolition ranch/Vet ranch/Off the ranch.

Yup

But then there would be razor sharp glass shards all over the ranch. That's why he always shoots plastic milk jugs and water melons. :)

I thought the same thing. I was expecting a lot more with how many dishes he had

The paint had probably more than gold in it. And he probably didn't recover 100% of it.

Gold is the most malliable element known to man. One gram can cover roughly one square meter.

+FieryWingedAngel Seriously?

Luckeux Seriously. At this thickness, even solid gold becomes very transparent to visible light while still being able to block out a large amount of harmful radiation, which is why gold foil is used on the helmets of space suits.

Same here

***** hes my buddy buster brown the clown =D

British medals were made of solid sterling silver, and have a bullion value of around 200 GBP/USD/EUR.

I threw Granpa Chip’s war medals into the river.

Andrew Goss I'm sure either or works.

😂

Yes

He's referring to the odd way Cody pronounces "Bleach". He pronounces it like "Bletch"

Damn "jean destroyer" is the oddest way ever to say "bleach".

He means it as in DNA destroyer

+Jace Verdon It will destroy jeans also if you soak them in a concentrated solution of it. The fibers just pull apart.

yeah I got excited to hear him say it the way he does, but he avoided it lol!

anyone > pewdiepie

Yah but Pewdiepie > anyone when it comes to subscribers 0-0 you literally can't change the fact that hes the most subbed

If anyone>pewdiepie then pewdiepie>pewdiepie...

You literally can, but it probably won't happen for a while.

erefes awedfe Then no you can't I can't say earth doesn't exist it just won't happen for a while, earth exists and pewdiepie has the most

Living out in the country on private property 2 miles from the public road, at worst an animal.

mpeterfin Because pets don't matter?

#petslivesmatter

Turns out animals wont drink it, I've seen a thirsty cow take a sniff of a cyanide solution and then go on to walking half a mile to get clean water, I guess they are actually pretty smart.

Anyway I tipped in a pint of bleach as soon as I was done filming.

Smells pretty good actually.

***** plz reply Cody I've been watching for 2 years

Not everyone can smell cyanide. It is dangerous however not hard to handle. Consider that in the gold industry we use literally tens of thousands of tonnes and worker fatalities from cyanide poisoning are almost non-existant or due to suicides :(

@@Hossak why is there a high suicide rate, if you don't mind my prying

@@well_as_an_expert_id_say Suicide rate is about normal based on sex and age group. The mining industry is dominated by men (getting not as bad now) and as a result, some few guys going through some bad times see cyanide as a quick/painless solution to their issues. I personally don't know of anyone who has taken this route though and I have been in mining for about 25 years. However it does happen.

how's it going

You must not know much about drug dealing

Dream? Man, you cant operate WITHOUT one of those

Lmao

Yes. Because we all know the buyer will go home and use the same scale, to make sure to account for every mg

Eric Sherman ok Eric

Its not bad if its insulated well.

it's not a if but a when at this point

Most likely afew hundred years away.

+Smellycharly ROBLOX more like when the president is chosen

xD

if the economy collapses gold will no longer have a value. It has no practical uses.

It should be 8:14 theres like a few frames of bunny on 8:15

I believe that is illegal, defacing currency or something. Would be cool though

Hey everyone Cody here. You may remember my bag of coins from the last episode, I couldn't use those being illegal and all so I used them to pay for som-*JUMPCUT* I'm back and I've got this money bag full of copper chunks, I found them at the thrift store, I'm gonna see if I can turn them into a copper ingot.

You can do whatever you want to US currency, as long as you don't alter it to pass it off as a higher denomination of money. I.e., can't make a penny look like a dime and try to buy something with said counterfeit. Melt them down to your hearts content :)

@@Cannibeasty Cody quoting William Ulibaari as he is led off in cuffs but.... but.... William said I could do it 😭

@@trumpeteer4792 will lib would have been right for the most part, but I'm pretty sure they changed the laws. They made it illegal to melt pennies & nickels. When copper was high, pre 83 pennies had 3cents Worth of copper. Woulda been a sweet gig- go buy $10,000 worth of pennies, scrap them and gross $30,000! Only "they" can make money that easy.

Me neither. Thought is was just paint or something

hehe

Ikr

get a pc then scrub

Does everyone need to be so mean for no reason?

yes fck u

Tate is a PC mustard race, or whatever... no hate just misplaced priorities

She wants to finish school first

Sounds like a good plan. Congrats

"Kenya"

getting merried its so 90's. just get together.

You got something against Marriage?

It's because of the surface tension. It pulls the molten gold into a sphere.

surface tension I guess

Interesting question for those "flat earth" nuts. lol Water does the same thing. When it splashes, the little drops that fly up are spherical.

My guess is probably gravity pushing on it from all sides, same with the water drops.

It's because of the surface tension. It pulls the molten gold into a sphere. Credits : Anticonny lol

Cause these bitches is basic.

resist urge to lick

LOL

Don't ingest it, wear gloves and preferably safety goggles, and know the chemistry of what you're doing. As Cody mentioned, bleach makes it more or less harmless. Industrial gold processing uses cyanide solution extraction, but they recover the cyanide at the end and reuse it and it's done in a continuous process. It's cheap and as he demonstrated here, effective even with very low percentages of gold. It's not the fastest, but it is effective.

If by "beutyfull" you mean annoying as Fu*k then yes. ;)

fucking savage damn

lol xD

chill cody omg

what?! xD lol, they're irritating when you hear them all the time

Obviously I lost some, If I where to guess I would say my recovery was between 50 and 70%

I was just wondering if there was a way to increase yield? Or is it not worth the effort for small quantities?

Even at 100% yield and free dishes the chemicals, carbon and electricity for the oven would still cost more than the gold is worth. But making money is not the point of the videos.

You can't return them, but you can re-donate them.

Everyone needs a coffee cup that was steeped in various chemicals ;)

bleach makes it harmless, I'm sure they have a sanitizing solution in places like a good will or salvation army type place.

niceeeee

I'll bet the average person watching this video has seen that joke at least ten times.

I've personally heard this joke 480 times, but I still think it is as funny as when I first heard it every time. But then again, I am easily amused.

Hey! Have you heard the joke about Sodium!? ...Na.....

just heard it again last night in the movie "Goodbye World".

Not sure what a DI is, but what he _showed_ at one point was processing to break down the cyanide (he added NaOH solution or bleach, I think).

Jack, dont you mean Bletch?

jocke jonasson I think something like that has already been posted elsewhere in this video's comments section. No kudos earned here for originality, I'm afraid. Oh, and no - I meant bleach. Thanks anyway

Jack Sainthill Well no shit its been posted before

jocke jonasson Obviously, I know it isn't.

Copy paste error. lol

I was in that exact same order

I might be approaching an ounce.

nice videos, its a whole lot of work to get some little bead of gold, your patience has no limits ;) now i know its not worth my time and money to buy some 'gold 'dishes

I always wondered why my grandpa abandoned the mine...

@Cody'sLab you might be able to take it and dissolve the gold off the ore in a slightly larger batch then take the ore out and repeat it using the same chemicals for the next batch and save yourself on the cost of them or would the chemicals be used up by then (i would suggest mining a bunch first)

you need to regenerate that chemicals first, example you dissolve tin in acid clorhidric, after you have to precipitate the metal and usually the rest it's waste
