    I love this. The content is so honest and all things explained are so relevant to everyone who does this as we've all had 1 or more of these inconveniences. A great reminder to slow down and enjoy what you're doing if the job doesn't need to be done efficiently. We have such a cool craft and should be enjoyed.
    Thanks buddy. Always enjoy your uploads
    Hope the family is well
    God bless

    2:00 get a big steel spoon with holes in the spoon, like for cooking sauces. Use that to separate the liquid metal from the slag, right inside the hot crucible. Thats how i remove lead from the steel clips of wheel weights.

    Great video, but way to many steps. You could have crushed them all. Torched them till red. Do a couple nitric acid boils. Then add your aqua regia. Denox. Drop with SMB. Wash with boiling water 3 times. Wash using boiling HCl. Then wash with boiling water again and melt. But use a clean melting dish. The ones you are using are full of oxides that can transfer to your gold. My $.02. Cheers!

      @@rickreuter4218 Thank you! Before going for the lead bath I did a sample yield test using NaOH, followed by HNO3 and finally AR leach. Despite being only a small test batch (150g),it took me ages to get it done. I’ll post the video on the process some other day. The long story short - it took me much more time, money and reagents using the wet method compared to the hot one.

Это разные позолоченные контакты от мобильных телефонов, ноутбуков и разных шлейфов с позолоченными контактами. Золота тут тонкое покрытие, тоесть иммерсионное. Я думаю купелирование тут не годится, а перекись водорода с соляной кислотой, или гипохлоритом может сразу растворить только золото, оставив медную подложку.
