I collect copper ore from an abandoned mine in California and extract the copper metal out of it through electrowinning.

Bro homeless people steal copper out of everything don’t they? why don’t they just go mine? 🤔👀 I mean damn take some drugs, drink, mine all day, they’d look the exact same as stereotypical historical miners and have the same lifestyle lmao
I still don’t understand, you used electrolysis and sulfuric acid. So how did ancient civilizations do it. This didn’t answer my questions about copper at all
Steel beams don’t melt at that temperature.
This is real Minecraft

Copper from scratch!
Step 1: Find a green rock in nature. (OK)
Step 2: Break it into tiny pieces. (OK)
Step 3: Now add sulphuric acid.
Bruh.
Where is this mine?
Yay extintion 😀
OMG THAT’S A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OF CHRYSOCOLLA🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I like the idea of this channel but your bumbling, mumbling, stumbling was hard to watch. I think if you do more preparation on what you’re going to do and say. I think you’ll have a more watchable channel.
Fantastic video
Tin is an element not a compound
that hair tho!
8 minutes in and I realised this guys a numpty
But how did the ancients do it?
Plz try to make gold some how

I was here for the comments
I get David’s exposure to copper have anything to do with that fantastic blow back hairstyle?
Rather inaccurate, this episode is
-Yoda
You should’ve gone to northern Wisconsin by superior
Wow amazing!
That’s a hunk of copper to be proud of.
I love the main objective of your videos if and when the shtf we need videos like these i would love to see you exspanding your videos to medicines everything from simple meds to complicated antibiotics, ropes,mechanical, eletrical, plumbing, gunpowder, gunsmithing from raw materials all these and more with if possible without complicated machines only what you got or find you know go the madmax theme of doing these because we might not have electricity. So whatcha think good idea?..
Thank you very much. You worked so hard to teach us.
Don’t destroy that beautiful chrysocollaaa😱😱😱😱
heat and plastic buckets. Gotta love science nitwits. Let me cool this hot sword in this tiny plastic water cooled container and see how that ends up going.. 8
by "mining" it
AKA getting a pickaxe from ur shed and going to a private mining area, nabbing a stone of copper and f*cking off before you get arrested
Yea it cost you more based on a market value, due to your small operation, companies use lots of equipment that does what you did in no time at mass quantities, as far as you getting anything, this was awesome, for amount you mined I didn’t expect that much, great video bud👍🏼
GPS took you to the mine, you were just on top of it.
You can afford and invest in better tools than those Chinese crap units.
Good
what’s your favorite metal type?
Mom: What the hell did you do to my muffin pan!!!!!!
Man! Keep that malachite with a clear acrylic spray coating so it doesn’t get damaged easily and the color will pop up better. The coating doesn’t damage the stone 🙂 ..same with all copper derived stones. OMG TAKE ME TO THAT BEAUTIFUL BLUE MOUNTAIN OF COPPER STONES🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I live in copper country white pine copper mine is about 30 miles away from my house and the copper rocks I normally see look more like actual melted copper.
Am I the only dude thinking those openings look like the ones frm the Arnie "Conan the Barbarian" (that they used to sneak into T. Doon’s pleasure-palace)?
Lol….
So you are going to do a modern extraction process? Probably should have done a primitive extraction process..
Good👍
Hahha duble coments , great pause
How do you turn piss in to energy? As biogas then liquify for the car to make the trip to the grocery store?
good
Even you Can find Diamond.
Can u imagine how overwhelmed you would be if your army had copper weapons against an army that had steel weapons. Omg
that’s a good yield percentile 2 percent pure.
That copper may be worth 20 cents, maybe a bit more or else, certainly not over a dollar
There was a huge copper "mine", in the Great Lakes, used by the Native Americans and early explorers. I don’t know what the purity of the ore was, but it seemed to be a pretty popular place.
copper will skyrocket
