Description
The Gold Claim Book: https://thegoldclaimbook.com
Breaking up ore with a hammer is slow, tiring work, and it sends rock chips and gold flying in every direction. So I wanted to know whether a kitchen blender could do the job faster. In this video I put the question to the test: which kinds of rock a blender can handle and which ones it will destroy it trying, how small to cut your pieces before they go in, how much water to add so the material grinds and doesn’t just bounce around, and how to pour out the result without losing the fine gold. I show you what the ground material looks like, how it compares with hand crushing, and what it does to the blades and the motor, because this is not a free trick and I’ll tell you exactly what it costs you. I also cover the safety basics, like eye protection, dust and why you should never use the same blender for food afterwards. If you crush small batches of ore at home, this could save you hours of swinging a hammer.
