Hey everyone,
I’m a hobbyist with blacksmithing/forging, and electronics. I also go out mining in BLM land and poke around rock hunting with some clubs. This forum has quite a wealth of information which I’ve pulled some great resources from recently.
Since I’m not doing this for money, I really just enjoy doing things, I’m interested in learning more about what to do with raw ore regardless of it being valuable.
I’ve looked through the resources provided via Wisdom, Hoke, and several library threads as well as moderator signatures. I’ve also checked out the backyard chemist, and have some books on processing e waste.
If anyone could kindly point me in the direction of what to do with raw ore beyond assaying, such as how to process Iron in a single person quantity after I’ve identified it, as well as various non precious material types, that would be appreciated! I find the prospect and hunt very satisfying, and love working with a material that I’ve found myself. Be it lapidary, forging or electronics.
Basically, I feel like I’ve gathered ample resources on assays, but not so much on processing non precious material from ore
