How To Make Lead From Scratch - Pioneer ways of making lead metal

Great teacher! João prospector from Brazil

A great book with all kinds of information. I bought a copy, read it. Great reference.

Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️

LEAD 
BULLETS

My Wife got me your book for Christmas. Thanks

Lead me to lead.

Sorry Chris, I'm married, ....

..... I use Lead often in construction. Mostly as flashing against weather. Really great for that because 1), it don't pack, 2, it lasts forever, 3) It is very malleable. It's sold in rolls that weigh 50lbs. It comes in 12" 10" 8" and 6" widths. We just finished a home resto in Boston and used 9 rolls on the sill plate flashing and 1 and a half on the new chimney flashing, and 3 on the siding and doors plus window flashing. Over 600 pounds on one house for flashing alone. It's always on the floor at Home Depot or Lowes for a reason. That little roll of it averages $215 for 50 lbs and nobody wants to carry it to the register !!

U.S. Patent 5,139,684 kills all viruses in the human body safely...HIV, Ebola, etc... Please google, read and pass it on...this is why blood banks are safe...google: U.S. Patent 5,139,684 pdf and download...There is some fake news/info when looking for it....A

Thanks for the info. Keep it up👍

Hi Chris. Nice video! Thinking of lead-silver, the Goodsprings Mining District instantly comes to mind. Silver in Galena ranges from 2-15 oz/ton. I have some specimens that are 20 oz/ton ! Pure Galena is very cubic, however, as the silver content increases, the cleavage plains become very distorted. That last Galena specimens you showed appeared to be well distorted. Back in the 1870's the Mormons worked the Potosi Mine to make bullets for their militia, however, the high silver content produced brittle amo. They had no way to refine at the time, so it was soon abandoned. Oh, you might want to caution folks about gases from smelting lead sulfide ores. Can't wait to see how much silver you recover !

I never got into eating paint chips, maybe dirt possibly long time ago. Still like to put holes in paper with lead. But lead is very useful, and don't forget fishing weights and car tires for balancing just to name a few more . And I hope your Christmas went well. I guess the next time we here from you it will be 2021. So have a happy and safe New Year. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more. Exspeacly gold and silver and gemstones as well as platinum. I guess I'm still thinking about Christmas. LOL.

Lead can be used to help purify Gold in a Cupel also ! ; )

I use lead solder every day in my job. You can't get it at the store anymore.

My grandfather started out as a prospector/miner. His silver finds weren't outstanding, but there was a lot of lead ore. He made a good living as a lead miner/refiner. The mine was sealed up long ago but ore is still present. I'll be able to learn how he did it and teach my grandkids at the same time. Thanks!

'''' THANK YOU,,,,,,,,,,SUPERRR...,,,,,,,!

Nice information sir thank you very much 🙏

love you Chris

would have loved to see the crushing process

Another great video, I learn so much from you.
Does Galena show on a metal detector?
Looking forward to your silver videos, tin also. The extraction methods are fascinating.
Thanks again for your efforts, I for one certainly appreciate them.

enjoyed the video !!!!!

another great vid i m really enjoying the broad range of your geology knowledge and extracting metals from ore i really enjoyed the serie on copper i look forward to your vids in 2021 may you always have gold in your pan happy new year to you

My mine in Arizona the ore is rich in galena thanks for the tips.

yes

I found some cubic specimens measuring 7-9 mm. Covered in magnesium oxide the seem to be hematite inside. Can iron pyrite do this through a oxidation process? What the heck did I find? Found near quartzsite.

There are uses of lead that have not been superseded by a better replacement product, like red lead paint as anticorrosive agent and in wooden boat building. Also white lead oxide is traditionally used in the cotton caulking of seams. Both oxides prevent the growth of microorganisms while the red oxide prevents the oxidation of iron aswell. Modern anti rust primers are quite useless in comparison!

I've been poor all my life and just once I would love to have the money to build myself a Handi cap accessible house can you tell me how I can go about getting enough money to do this I'm not looking to be rich just would like to live my life a little more comfortable as I am handicapped

I live close to the Galena Mining District in Oregon.

Hi, thanks for the video. What are the ratios of borax and bicarbonate to crushed galena? What is the purpose of the scrap iron in the crucible? How do you separate the lead from the mixture you poured out of the crucible? Thanks.

My grandfather told me about making lead bird shot from lead ore in LaSalle Parish Louisiana. Samples of the lead from this lost mine, supposedly, contained 22% silver.

I appreciate your efforts to educate us!

will borax laundry soap work .... as i am getting a lead mine and it has silver ,, coper and some gold in it to so i am needing to clean it all myself can you please give me some ideas please and if you have done video's can you please get me a link to them thank you

wait a minute how do you crush the galena

I think thier is some silver in lead , galena ore have 70% lead , and %04 silver , is that right ?

Is scrap iron important for smelting ?

I’m a miner of lead…it’s easy. Just go to the range with a sifter and a shovel

I'm sitting on about 600lbs for current and future reloading. You're right,its getting harder and harder to find good sources for lead.

Lead keeps bad frequency away if you have mix clothing on it keeps your frequency good x

i put it in radiation rooms in hospitals last week.
