Silver Plate Experiment Part 2! Recovering silver without chemicals. We'll see how it goes! 

Just showed this to a community college professor and I now has an associated degree in metallurgy. Thank you BBD.

Number TWO TO WATCH THE AWESOME SILVERPLATE STRIPPING!! LET THE CLASS BEGIN.

Great video If you add some muriatic acid/hcl to your stripper solution it will clear up, just add ounce at a time and stir. This will put base metals into solution then can filter solution to leave 995 silver. Then melt your dried powder. If you want 99.9 , boil your dried filter in a weak HCl solution with peroxide, that will dissolve the copper, filter again and you get 99.99 clean metallic silver.

So Dave everyone wants to know if you think this was worth all your time and effort? No matter what you did a great job showing everyone a safe method of doing this. Keep up the great work!

Glad you are back on Ebay. This was interesting but I wouldn't have the patience, but we all know from your videos that you are a very patient man. Thanks for sharing!

Yes really enjoyed that, kinda reminded me of panning for gold Dave, looking forward to seeing the end result, this is not only learning how to seperate the silver, but also learning how to be calm and patient, somebody I'm married to could learn from you lol, Thankyou xxx 😊

Hi Dave Science was never my strongest subject no matter how interesting it STILL is to me ! Watched both experiments. Recognized you love challenging ALL thing that make life worth living. What a great resasont to pursue your goals. ALL THE MORE REASON TO BE SAFE OUT THERE MY FRIEND !

BBD THE SCIENCE TEACHER!! GREAT VIDEO 👍 👍.

This seems like a lot of trouble for $17 an ounce. I hate doing dishes. Lol

Hey Dave I wanted to thank you for this video you have the most comprehensive video on this there is, and I took your video as motivation to do it myself. And then I started to actually enjoy learning about silver plate, bringing the existence of my channel. I just wanted to tell you thanks.

I wish we had done something like this back in the day when I was yawning my way through science class, of which I remember nothing!

The smelter has it down to a science, and using the acid is a must use especially for earrings as metal allergies are on the rise! Great videos though, very interesting!

I think that you had it right when you said that you could pick up silver at the flea markets. You have an exceptionally good eye for that!!! While I love that you shared this with us, I don't see this as a great use of your talents!!

You have more patience than I have! Hope your successful in getting a lot of silver. This was very interesting.

Amazing result. Good for you!

Could the water be strained through a cheesecloth to collect solids???

Hope you get a good result Dave, 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧

That was pretty cool. I have wondered how to remove silver plate. Now I am ready for some nitric!

Wow! Is there anything you cant do?? You should be a teacher! You've amazing patience....but I know that already from the way you are with your kids 🥰 Well done Dave ❤

Finally! Part 2!

nice dave you fun and work in same time :)

Great video and I really appreciate that you explain everything! CheeRs ♻️💪🏻

Another great video. Hope you’ll film the cash out!

So interesting, thank you.

Very interesting to see the process!

Hey BBD. I love the silver refining without chemical videos (1&2). Can’t wait to see the results of the forge. I’ve started this process on a very small scale. So far I’ve noticed letting the flatware soak in the brine actually improves the silverplate removal process and the dirtier the brine gets, the better it works, up to a point. At some point it gets too dirty and begins to go more slowly. Have you noticed this? Any other tips? Oh yeah, one more thing. 6 ounces out of 25 lbs is a good rate. That’s about $120 silver today. When silver hits $50 that will be $240! A perfect hobby for a silver stacker!

Thanks for the video ✌🏻✌🏻

I like it I work in jewelry and never seem to it a greAt skill he can show kids it’s mathematics and science

I'm learning teacher 👨‍💻👨‍🎓🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍

Thought for you. I'm a decorative artist, and we really like to paint on silver plate. You could make more money selling those pieces to us than melting them down. (Particularly the decorative kind that you said was hard to clean.) ;-)

Very interesting - wondering what the next step looks like. And... the scrap goes to the processor at 2.00/pound?

Amazing video, little bit long, but overall it is great video. Thank you very much.

Can't wait to see exactly how much you get from the 25# 💛🧡❤✌✌✌

Dave fun to learn its fun and seeing the process now how much weigh how much pay?

Awesome video bro you kick ass, iam thinking its worth the time , make some bars for the kids and stash um away for college , keep up the good work man .PEACE.

best fun around nice vid

Dave, would love to know end results of amount and totals! Thanks for your time

..congrats on your experiment and not blowing up your shop..lol..good vid..

welcome to 2021 where silver is at 28 dollars and ounce troy and this is worth it

Can you use this same setup to remove gold plate?

Hewy bud, My name is Chris P. I don't know how old this vbid is but, I;m doing very similuar things as you but doing gold as well. I noticed a few things that i my be able to help refine your process and speed it up a bit. I did learn a bit from you as well.

Sir, I am not able to remove the silver from electricity, please understand the whole process, I have copper wire, on which the silver is polished, how to recover it, please tell me.

Use a kitchen strainer for silver rinsing. Small mesh one.

If you add a little hydrochloric acid to the scrub tub, the scrubbing will almost be totally eliminated.

Not easily finding the first video... What is the cathode, please?

Did you ever refine this or find out what percent silver this material was? Cool video!

Looks like a lot of work to get 6oz of silver,, was it enough to pay your time to do it?

Dave-Can you do gold the same way??

Fascinating.

Well, you could have filtered it all. Then melted into a plate and perform silver refinement via copper refinement. That would have pulled the copper to the cathode where it would plat and the silver would be black power in the solution.

I always treat the mudd left over with murriatic acid with a little peroxide 3%. The purrity when i do that is 95 to 99 after melt

Sorry for yhe mispelling , i'm tying in the dark LOL !

Is that tap water?

What a pain in the you know what

Gloves?

That is a lot of work washing and rinsing your sediment after stripping. Why not get a stainless vessel or large Pyrex and bake off the water?

Very cool process,but way too much work considering the price of silver.

Very Interesting Dave

Sorry Dave to much time and trouble, not enough profit for me , great how to videos though and I have done enough dishes in my life already lol .

I watch him at 1.5 speed, talks too slow and alot of uhhhhs but I still like his stuff!

Great that you take the time to do things you like and interested in. Most only care about the outcome and forget how to enjoy something wholeheartedly. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquation

Too messy, just send it of to the smelter and get the cash

👍👍👍✌✌✌✌

Filtwr rinsing maybe would have saved you a lot of time here and gotten a cleaner product

Its bad when the 2nd vidio starts with a big Ahhhhh

wa wa wa big man in town has to scrub aplate to make money! goood luck sonney!

Too many aaaaahs and uuums and I have to take your word that there is silver in that mush. I don't know you so I will give you the benefit of the doubt but leaving us without a full ending is nearly as bad as the Game of Thrones rubbish. Come on, Dave we're invested. Don't do this to us....

Don’t zap yourself!

The channel name is killing me.
