You’re kind of obligated to be honest in a situation like that. By any means, even if it were greed. That gold was worth less than $4,000. His video brought in more money than that. And not only that, if he were to scam them out of their gold, he would potentially lose all credibility and his channels would be finished. (They both make hundreds of thousands combined annually) If he were a poor man, and no one was watching him, and he could get away with it with no risk, that’s how you know it was done out of honesty. I’m not ripping on Nile btw, we don’t know him personally, I’m just saying that there can always be more depth and reasoning to someone’s actions and demeanour.
I don't know much about watches but I bet that Rolex was worth way more than the amount of gold it may have had. And the guy was willing to have it getting destroyed lol.
Didnt he send the gold back? Honestly, the rolex would add a maximum of 50$ in pure gold, and double the ammount as a whole. He could have made a video out of it and show how little gold is actually in a rolex, but i think he is just an honest man, or he didnt see much fun in disassembling it and just didnt bother
I bought the same one not working for 50$ from an old lady at a garage sale. Pulled the backplate and it was a battery operated plastic insert. 100% fake or it would have a serial number

@@thomasneal9291 Well, yeah. Its pretty common knowledge especially when most of us took General Chemistry in High school where those are used a lot. It's just that the bland tone he uses and the pause used adds some unexpectedness with a comedic tone when he said he was going to use ACID. Because when people think acid, they think Hydrochloric (that dangerous shit)
If you are everywhere, then, am I everywhere? What if, im so addicted to my laptop that I scroll through the internet, every second of my life, what if we all are the same? isn't that why so many people say that YOU are everywhere? then, they are everywhere. and... maybe, we'll meet again in another reply section of just some random guy without a mustache.
Why are you everywhere? Everywhere I ask “why are you everywhere?” You are everywhere, so why? Why are you where we are? Why are we where you are. Why are you everywhere we are, and we are everywhere you are? Why? Are you really everywhere? Are we really everywhere? Why do we ask you why you are everywhere if we also are everywhere?
This guy is unironically an alchemist. This makes me want to learn Chemistry. Not for money, though I can definitely see the application, but for the wondrous experiments you can do with the knowledge. Such is the beauty of science, I suppose.
We have hotels, golf clubs, theme parks etc that people can enjoy. Someone should start "chemistry clubs" where normal/hobbyist folks like us can go and do these experiments every week. Maybe we can pay yearly subscription to that club and just learn chemistry and do all kinds of experiments or even research. I mean in software world, there is this concept of open source, maybe we can have similar for chemistry? not sure how feasible research would be, but at least having a club where people can go and do high school/undergrad university level experiments would be cool. This would be a nice idea for a "Chemistry as a service" startup company.
"Recover Gold from old jewlery" Me: Melt it down.... A chemist: Convert it into individual gold ions using various acids and suspend it in solution, then reconvert it into solid form.
Well yeah you can melt it but the impurities in the gold is massive since gold in itself isn’t good since it’s very malleable so he had to seprate the copper, silver, etc etc and then melt it into gold
There are tropes of people biting coins to see if it was really soft gold or not, so that's the first thing I would have a done. A metal spike is... probably smarter.
@@fernandovillafuerte2529 nahhh replicas are bad if they use the real brands trademarks, someone could easily sell replicas as the real ones for real high prices so every replica destroyed is good in my opinion. if theyre homage replicas with no branding then theyre fine
it's isn't chemistry though, it's hydrometallurgy and so you don't simply see the chemical reactions take place, you get a practical result that is also used in large scale to extract metals from ores
SetoFreakingKaiba it is still chemistry, I learned about polyatomic ions this year in chemistry. As well as the chemical equations and classifying the reactions he was using as the examples for what was actually happening. All in all , it’s still chemistry
He is a man of science the only thing that he didn't do that he should have was shoot it and blow it up with a firecracker but him being Canadian I think he probably would have the fear of a gun jumping out and pointing itself at somebody and going haha yeah I think I'll get that person that's horrible how Canada and England both have made their citizens think and a lot of woke Americans think that way too
One thing you could’ve done with the gold bars while they’re still in the mold is partially melt them again. It will flatten out the surface of the bar.
The first time I’ve found gold: I was on a hike with my class in 1st grade and I found a cool quartz rock near a stream, so I picked it up and flipped it. Lo and Behold there was a natural gold flake on it! Unfortunately I lost it in 3rd grade.
Fools gold should float so seems unlikely a flake of it would get raised up with the water level only to be trapped under a piece of quartz as the water level of the stream went back down
@@georgecroney6168 Not always. Just check out a few of the early “Aussie Gold Hunters” shows to see that very often, the gold extracted from ore can be loaded with copper and other metals. It depends on the refining processes to get pure gold.
@@terrypussypower yea I agree. Gold ore almost always has to be refined in a similar process to this, using chemicals instead of physically removing the gold with tools, as to not damage or lose any of the gold embedded in the rock
@@hanzistorrhanz7982 Bad idea to do it with acid. Especially concentrated one. One would suggest to use highly concentrated NaOH or KOH for that. But who is that one...
When you think about it that's a great deal for the patreon, because I doubt that if he had just sold the jewelry he would have gotten as much money as the pure gold has now, plus he now has a really cool story to tell
1:26 I'm actually really glad he did this because I was even thinking to myself "it would be such a shame to lose such a pretty watch even if it was non-functional"
What he actually said is that he had copper wire leftover from moving into a new office. Did it come from the old office, perhaps. Classic move, taking the copper wire on the way out of a job.
FYI- 5 years after the fact. Those half moon gold shapes that you said felt too light to be gold and held off including in your first batch are actually 18k gold Rolex watchband links. They come from a Rolex Presidential watch band that are made hollow to save weight and cost. I know this because I have one and recognized them immediately.

@@thomasneal9291 Well, yeah. Its pretty common knowledge especially when most of us took General Chemistry in High school where those are used a lot. It's just that the bland tone he uses and the pause used adds some unexpectedness with a comedic tone when he said he was going to use ACID. Because when people think acid, they think Hydrochloric (that dangerous shit)
🤣🤣🤣
couldent remeber if it was hydrocloric acid or sulfuric acid but one of them i used to dissolve rock from pyrite

Why are you everywhere?
You are a weeb(Like me...)
You watch random memes and videos
You watch
scientific videos..Like wtf?!
If you are everywhere, then, am I everywhere? What if, im so addicted to my laptop that I scroll through the internet, every second of my life, what if we all are the same? isn't that why so many people say that YOU are everywhere? then, they are everywhere. and... maybe, we'll meet again in another reply section of just some random guy without a mustache.
Why are you everywhere? Everywhere I ask “why are you everywhere?” You are everywhere, so why? Why are you where we are? Why are we where you are. Why are you everywhere we are, and we are everywhere you are? Why? Are you really everywhere? Are we really everywhere? Why do we ask you why you are everywhere if we also are everywhere?
Why are you everywhere why
This guy is unironically an alchemist. This makes me want to learn Chemistry. Not for money, though I can definitely see the application, but for the wondrous experiments you can do with the knowledge. Such is the beauty of science, I suppose.
this is high school chemistry... nothing compares to the actual beauty yet
@@hiroshimagiggity372 I never got to do expiriments at my school.
We have hotels, golf clubs, theme parks etc that people can enjoy. Someone should start "chemistry clubs" where normal/hobbyist folks like us can go and do these experiments every week. Maybe we can pay yearly subscription to that club and just learn chemistry and do all kinds of experiments or even research.
I mean in software world, there is this concept of open source, maybe we can have similar for chemistry? not sure how feasible research would be, but at least having a club where people can go and do high school/undergrad university level experiments would be cool.
This would be a nice idea for a "Chemistry as a service" startup company.
Alchemists would've made the Gold from other materials, making Gold from Gold+Crap makes you a Purifyer or in other terms, a chemist.

There are tropes of people biting coins to see if it was really soft gold or not, so that's the first thing I would have a done. A metal spike is... probably smarter.

it's isn't chemistry though, it's hydrometallurgy and so you don't simply see the chemical reactions take place, you get a practical result that is also used in large scale to extract metals from ores

One thing you could’ve done with the gold bars while they’re still in the mold is partially melt them again. It will flatten out the surface of the bar.
An excellent demonstration on why casting swords in movies and TV is bull
@@Rio..o7.. I can confirm, you need much more than molten metal and a cast to make squeaky smooth surfaces out of metal
I like how this guy has literally hundreds of dollars worth of gold just in his hand and his first instinct is "Let's drive a hammer through it"
why not. its not valued based on its condition or form
@@dylanburns8759 I guess but I just find it hilarious
Thousands*

literally thousands, actually.
I really like the calm commentary in the old videos more than the overacting voice in the present ones :)
The first time I’ve found gold: I was on a hike with my class in 1st grade and I found a cool quartz rock near a stream, so I picked it up and flipped it. Lo and Behold there was a natural gold flake on it! Unfortunately I lost it in 3rd grade.
What if it was Fool’s Gold?
Fools gold should float so seems unlikely a flake of it would get raised up with the water level only to be trapped under a piece of quartz as the water level of the stream went back down

this process wouldn't need to be used, gold from ore is pure
@@cattnipp I think that they know that, they probably meant that they hadn’t seen to process of changing form ore to actual gold bars
@@georgecroney6168 Not always. Just check out a few of the early “Aussie Gold Hunters” shows to see that very often, the gold extracted from ore can be loaded with copper and other metals. It depends on the refining processes to get pure gold.
@@terrypussypower yea I agree. Gold ore almost always has to be refined in a similar process to this, using chemicals instead of physically removing the gold with tools, as to not damage or lose any of the gold embedded in the rock
