I love it. I watch you for the chemical side of refining and bigstackd for the large physical breakdowns and smelts. So much fun watching you skilled folk enjoying your hobbies! You're awesome!
Love your videos and the demonstrations. Did you know BigStackD referenced your channel in one of his recent videos? He mentioned watching your channel to learn how to melt and extract silver from some parts he has stored…I was pleasantly surprised he watched your videos too 😊
I watched an amazing video on gold filled material production. They clad a copper bar with a thin sheet of gold, heat the whole thing up and then progressively roll it until it's completely flat. I never would have guessed that.
Gold filled,gold plated 10 k 14 k 18k 24k hey its all gold gold gold , when it comes to the gold plated stuff ill wait till I have about a 30 gal trash can of it then do some gold recovery lol Thanka for your informative videos I'm hooked😊
Gotta be honest... I rather enjoy these videos where old gets transformed to new. There's just something to watching the recovery process, seeing the old pin or watch, get turned into something else.
Rest? There is no rest for the wicked. LOL More vids we need em.. Just kidding Sreetips great vid and I will be looking for the next. Have a good night.
the phrase “no rest for the wicked” is not actually in the Bible. Isaiah 57:21 instead of “rest” states that there is no “peace” for the wicked. HOWEVER, about twenty years ago a band called “Cage The Elephant” published a song called “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” it’s good song. You should listen if you haven’t heard it.
As a person with a laborstorium back ground i did love to do this stuff again. Only am not sure wether this is a profitable hoby or not. Or even ilegal.
Lol i wish i wasent jealous of all your videos but i tottaly am they are so great and i absolutley love watching you melt down gold and that beautiful silver crystal and making bars i think its everyones little dream to have gold and silver bars lol and your living it.... Also i wonder where you learned how to do all of this because i feel like you are an old chemistry teacher of some kind or something mabey im wrong but thats the feeling i get mabey because i feel like your so very informative with everything you do and show us
Great video brother love watching you work with chemicals.I have a question though I can't remember.The non-acid way for dissolving silver using no nitric.Or sulfuric gassett.I sure would love some help.
There’s no way to dissolve silver without acids except; the electrolytic silver cell. It uses electricity to dissolve the silver. HOWEVER, you must use nitric to dissolve the pure silver for the electrolyte for the silver cell. UNLESS, you use silver nitrate crystals dissolved in distilled water for your electrolyte. But silver nitrate is very pricey.
Deducing from what I've observed watching these sreetips episodes the AU recovery should be as estimated. And the royal blue nitric rich waste solution will be processed using scrap iron to part the copper. What then? im at a loss. Grudgingly, this waste solution probably has silver and gold and of course PGM's, that said it could be boiled down to reduce nitric, then rehydrated with dilute muriatic then the impure AU could be dropped out using SMB, Bonide Stump Out Green Label, which could go straight back to either gold refining or tbe silver cell, ..Yet, I know im messing up here so I casually watch and enjoy. Going back and viewing sreetips past videos would be ideal; the details are there.
hello mr. sreetips, its been a while since i last visited. very glad you still at it! theres still enough to learn from you. i hope you and the mrs. sreetips are well...
Love watching your videos and seeing your finished products. Any way you could tell me where I could take my scraps to get them processed down into bars
Could you please speak a little bit more about the differences between gold plated and gold filled? Why doesn’t it work for gold plated? Can you tell by looking at the scrap jewelry? Love your channel!!
Have you ever processed vintage gold filled shirt pins with the colored enamel words/logos? I often find them, but they seem heavy, which means more base metal to deal with. Thanks
Do you think that mechanically removing the gold first in a controlled environment could be a faster and economical way of processing gold filled material before using nitric to purify any base metal that was removed with the gold?
Good day Sreetips. I have a ton of research to do this weekend. I have a piece of refined gold containing palladium 13% and Rhodium 11%. I've never tried dealing with Rhodium yet, would I go after that or the palladium first? I'll be re watching your pgm vids yet again, but a point in the right direction would be awesome. Thank you and I hope you have a great day.
When filtering large amounts of liquid and filter gets semi clogged would it not be way faster to drain the filter and replace it with a new one? You will process all of it afterwards
Wonder if there's a way to melt the those scraps into shots in order to avoid the painful filtering process. It seems the gold/base metal ratio is really bad with scraps. 3-4% I think you said. So it's too much base metal vs gold for enquarting. would there be a way to add almost pure gold (like 95% pure) to correct the ratio 3:1 base metal to gold ratio? I really hate the eternal paper filter process with so much junk in solution. I feel like avoiding this step would save so much time and effort.
Love your videos! Can you tell us again what gold buyer you work with when you want to sell your refined gold? Seems like they were in Texas somewhere. Thank you!!
I might try using a gold leaching method on Gold filled scrap. It’s not economical to recover with nitric. Maybe Goldex leach would make sense. I’ll try an experiment and see what happens.
@@sreetips agreed. Nitric is always the way to go for dissolving base metals. I just like to experiment with alternative techniques some times to see if I can refine my refining process.
We find it in junk jewelry. It gets overlooked. People think it’s worthless because it’s not solid gold. I have no idea what was paid for the scrap. I find it, I set it aside, when I have enough, I do a refining.
Whats the difference between gold filled and gold plated, despite the names, I was told they were essentially the same thing. Why does this not work with gold plated?
How do I extract the gold I find in the rivers? I have seen some use mercury to get amalgam, but mercury is dangerous. Is there another way? I'm beginner. Thank you for your reply and warm regards from a small country name Croatia, EU. 🙏
@@antejl7925 yep, truth. In my area, near the Dinara mountain (Northern Dalmatia), there is a lot of high-quality bauxite for aluminum. Also gypsum deposits.
Inquart - root word is quart or quarter. No, gold filled items have only about 2.5% pure gold by weight. Adding more silver, or copper, would make recovery of the gold more difficult with gold filled material.
I would like to talk to you about how I could send you some gold filled jewelry I had 500 grams and tried to refine it and messed it up but I’m a trash man it took me a long time to find all of it but I’ve already found a bunch more and I don’t want to just waste it again
I buy gold from many places. People foolishly trade their gold to me for paper dollars, that are declining in value. They believe, incorrectly, that paper money is more valuable than gold. It still amazes me that folks will slave at a job for, and get paid in, paper dollars that can be printed “without limit” out of thin air. I get paid in gold and silver. If I receive any paper as payment, I quickly convert it to metal.
Hi, omg super conductor= -200 freezing rocks = rocks in space not heated = the black parts of space have alot of super conductors in the black nothingness of space =? Is the black nothingness holding the universe together with magnetism? I wonder how the sun has gravity. Is gravity magnetic?
Melting wouldn't dissolve out the copper, silver, and sometimes lead and tin - the base metals. The Gold is resistant to nitric acid all the others turn into water soluble nirates.
instead of cremating them why don't you melt them in gold melting temp so they separate from steel and then use a bucket to make granules of the melted gold and copper and then put them in acid?
Sreetips, 2:30 when your burning the combustible material with the torch prior to the first acid wash, you are burning away a small layer of the gold plate which will reduce your overall gold recovery. I would recommend not doing that.
Hello. Love the videos. What is that called? The valve for agitatating with nitric. It looks as though you made most of it, but the valve part that you turn. Where can i get one of those?? Help would be greatly appreciated... Mike
I see you tube is up to their old tricks again. They had me unsubscribed. It's like they have nothing better to do than to meddle around with my favorite channels.😡 See ya in the next video, sir.
Sree, do you use an air scrubber or any kind of filter for those fumes? Building a home lab and I come across a lot of information not all of it agrees
