You sure have made some good adjustments from your 1st gold filled scrap video! I remember the one that you forgot to do the incineration and you were not to happy with yourself!! Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!! P.S. Looking forward to part 2!!
Next to the crystal silver videos, the gold filled scrap are becoming my favorites. It's fun watching something that mostly garbage turn into pure gold!
I was about 53 when I started learning how to refine. I felt like a ten-year-old the first time I watched silver coming out of solution on to pieces of copper - fascinating and captivating
nice job, thx for the detailed information it doesn't come easy not that I'm doing what you're doing I'm not ready to until I really understand it better so I don't lose any gold or pd, I've been collecting and depopulating pcb's keeps me busy
Awesome once again my friend I am in a kind of bad place as to getting your video completed as the first pour was a fail and the second had a really nasty surface. I was to do a third pour an ended up having my R knee prosthesis fail leaving me in the hospital expecting a month or more time here. This video seems to be cursed in one manner or another it seems eh. It will be the first pour when I get back to my pouring bench.Well bud I can continue to watch your postings and finally understand what you are up to. Many thanks K.
Great vid sreetips also there is a high probability that the solution contains silver as some gold filled stuff is GF over silver so could you test the solution in your next vid and are you going to transfer the used solution to another beaker and add clean distilled water and nitric to the scrap and continue dissolving? Or are you just going to keep adding nitric to the same solution?
Mr. Sreetips I recently started on 585g of my gold filled scrap I had accumulated. I removed all the trash as you do. Incinerated as you do. Used distilled water and 70% Nitric Acid at a 50/50 ratio. But, now I have a brown fluffy mud / slime in my solution. Any idea what it may be ? Love your videos. Keep up the awesome work....
this is one of my favorite videos so far. I was hooked after seeing that gold can be put in solution just by using acids. Now my big question is? I went over to my moms house and told her about this and she gave me all her old vintage and costume jewelry some of the gold pecies are not marked can i still melt them in my acid boils? you are awsome and thankyou oooooo ya when i was digging through the goodies i found an old wathman silver pocket and was wondering if you would trade for jewlers loop i might even trough in a couple of these tresures let me know keep up the great work
Hi Sreetips, I was wondering can you tell me are the walls on your fume hood are they plastic or metal? I'm going to make my own fume hood . I'll definitely be sure that its top notch, don't want to take any chances of getting poisoned by fumes lol :) Love your videos and wish you were superman so you could put out a ton more! Knowing how much work they take just to produce one is amazing how you keep them coming :) GOD bless you and your family :)
Good afternoon streetips. I have watched your channel for a while and enjoy your videos some thing I have not heard you discuss is gold plating from dishes or Gold around the edges.Is it something you have a video on or is there not enough on dishes to recover? If it’s something you could write me about I would appreciate.
If the base metal is copper it works, just hammer or file a few spots of the piece to expose the base a little and process it like you would pc board foils
Great video and content as always. I am curious about the numbers: amount $ spent vs return. Cost of materials and how much of ur time have invested for outcome of that flask. % of Profit/Gains? If too personal i understand, just curious mind.
A setup this small isn't going to make a big profit. It's a hobby like Sreetips said. You can't live off of it for sure. Having said that, it builds up over time. 😉
Depends. Gold filled watch band caps are GF on the top only and they are usually magnetic. But they will process in hot dilute nitric. We can always check the gold foils after the nitric boils with a magnet to remove any undissolved pieces of steel.
No, 22.5g of pure gold alloyed with 10 pounds of copper would be a difficult refine. The object is to separate and concentrate the valuable metal. Alloying everything together would be a step in the wrong direction.
Hi sreetips. As Iv been watching your videos and coming across this one you talk about the hoax book and what she talks about briefly in her book but I was wandering where can I come across a book such as the hoax book so I can study more on the refining process and learn more on this subject as I have been studying the work of refining. Thank you sreetips…… (shaggy)
Can you do some more acid bleach refining I am a 14 year old I started watching your videos when I was about nine I have in total refined about 2 oz of gold and 1 lb of silver approximately and I was just wondering if you could do some more acid bleach videos because that's all I have access to by the way I love the videos
Always wondered why it's called 'gold filled' jewellery when it's actually filled gold.. Just a marketing thing? (I've only ever heard it called 'rolled gold' here, so maybe it's locational)
Interesting video mate. Quick question could you just so pieces and say on average what's a good price to pay for gold recovery. Hard for us newbie, I like to go around purchase old jewelry and store up. Cheers Graham
@@sreetips thx, I got that from Ur video. 2.5%. so if the necklace weights 100grams $60 AUD would be alright I guess. $233.80 AUD in gold scrap. Thx mate.
Karat gold is much high percentage of pure gold. 14k is 58% pure gold. So 100g of solid 14k gold would contain nearly 58g of pure gold, almost two Troy ounces.
@@sreetips I was watching, knowing it was gonna happen before it did.. cringing. Im guilty of doing the same thing. Its the way pawn poeple recognize eachother.
@@alienrocketscienceshared8454 My supplier only has rubber, silicone or tygon tubing. Which one is best, or do I specifically need to look for polypropylene? Thanks for your help.
A simple test: add a drop of 14k test acid directly on the piece. If gold plated the acid will begin to bubble, smell and turn green. If gold filled (or karat gold) then the acid will not react at all.
I learned these methods from professional refiners on the goldrefiningforum.com they could better tell you why it’s not a good idea to “melt it all down”
@@sreetips what ive learnt from yt and life is to do things that make you happy not others otherwise before u know it u are a different person. ml or millimetres your videos are awesome as ever. cant wait for the next big video.
According to your own words, this process shouldn't work. How is the acid going to get to the brass in the center of the filled scrap unless you file into it or cut it open?
That gold-filled layer is quite thin (though a lot thicker than gold plating). He's using stronger acid and heat. But that layer is why this takes so long. Without it the whole pot full would dissolve in less than an hour.
This is annoying to you because you’re smart and you get it the first time. But there are folks who benefit from the information being repeated several times. Reinforcement.
As a former engineer, this is my very favorite channel. Almost instant gratification!
Watching Part 1 and thinking about Part 2! Great!!!
You sure have made some good adjustments from your 1st gold filled scrap video! I remember the one that you forgot to do the incineration and you were not to happy with yourself!!

Love living vicariously through you

Looks like he's going to get around a troy oz out of it, too.
Love these refining videos, seeing the shiny gold made at the end is Always super nice.
I’m super fascinated with this process, thanks. And seeing a bright shiny lump of gold at the end sure does capture my imagination .
Another awesome fun video to watch. Keep them coming. We love watching you make pure gold.
I love these videos. Thank you :)
Thank you Sreetips for a great video, i always enjoy the way you do these video's, thank you from the UK
So I am sitting here watching your videos with with my 10 year old son. He is captivated by your processes!

Finally I can't wait to see!!!
You're a legend on the Corning Ware Nuts Facebook page lol
Yes... I like the filled scrap for some reason!
Very nice Omega Pan.
how much diff in recovery rate, is there between acid refining and reverse electrolysis ?? and why do you choose one over the other ???
Good
Gotta love the pistol on the table

Great vid sreetips also there is a high probability that the solution contains silver as some gold filled stuff is GF over silver so could you test the solution in your next vid and are you going to transfer the used solution to another beaker and add clean distilled water and nitric to the scrap and continue dissolving? Or are you just going to keep adding nitric to the same solution?
I’m decanting then adding fresh water and acid
I was curious if you’ve ever thought about the SIM card backing reels for a recovery project?
Thanks mate
I'm not surprised Sreetips is a 1911 guy. Always thought he was a gun owner and I pictured him with a 1911.
Mr. Sreetips
I recently started on 585g of my gold filled scrap I had accumulated.
I removed all the trash as you do.
Incinerated as you do.
Used distilled water and 70% Nitric Acid at a 50/50 ratio.
But, now I have a brown fluffy mud / slime in my solution.
Any idea what it may be ?
Love your videos. Keep up the awesome work....
My guess; some of your GF was actually plated junk metal.
this is one of my favorite videos so far. I was hooked after seeing that gold can be put in solution just by using acids. Now my big question is? I went over to my moms house and told her about this and she gave me all her old vintage and costume jewelry some of the gold pecies are not marked can i still melt them in my acid boils? you are awsome and thankyou oooooo ya when i was digging through the goodies i found an old wathman silver pocket and was wondering if you would trade for jewlers loop i might even trough in a couple of these tresures let me know keep up the great work
No, costume can not be processed using Gold Filled recovery.
Thank you just gold fild ii ggot it@@sreetips
Is that an exhaust system blowing out fumes?
Yes, no way to do these reactions safely without a fume hood

Will the sulfuric stripping cell work with gold filled? I have wondered this for a while now.
Maybe, but I’ve never tried it.
Sreetips , what would you do to save some cash if you were back 15 years ago?
Danger: "ok thanks for the warning "
Love your videos brother
There’s no way to safely do these reactions without a fume hood.
@@sreetips so thats a no? :P

If it’s something you could write me about I would appreciate.
Tony, I don't have any experience with that. But my guess is that there is very little gold under the glaze on the rims of those dishes
for all that gold plated scrap you have got would AP solution work well with it
I don’t know. I’ve only had success with sulfuric acid cell
If the base metal is copper it works, just hammer or file a few spots of the piece to expose the base a little and process it like you would pc board foils
Great video and content as always.
I am curious about the numbers: amount $ spent vs return. Cost of materials and how much of ur time have invested for outcome of that flask. % of Profit/Gains? If too personal i understand, just curious mind.
I don’t know. This is my hobby. My wife buys most of the metals. She pays pennies on the dollar. She even gets metal for free - routinely.
A setup this small isn't going to make a big profit. It's a hobby like Sreetips said. You can't live off of it for sure.
Having said that, it builds up over time. 😉
Funny how you said "it takes about 10 pounds (imperial) of it to get one gram (metric) of gold"
Guess there's uses for both systems!
That brown gas that is coming out of the HNO3 solution looks mean. What is the gas?
In nitric, nitrogen dioxide. The brown gas from dissolving gold in aqua regia is different but just as nasty.
[5:22] Dat firearm doe...

Just in case anyone thinks he is an easy mark he is just reminding them not to try it.
be careful with that funnel with acid, very high and unstable.
Do you separate your magnetic gold field from your non-magnetic gold field before you put it in any acids
Depends. Gold filled watch band caps are GF on the top only and they are usually magnetic. But they will process in hot dilute nitric. We can always check the gold foils after the nitric boils with a magnet to remove any undissolved pieces of steel.
can you make a video showing us the details on how to put together our own 24/7 "pure silver crystal generating machine" you have there? 🙂
Already did that is posted some place on my channel how to construct and operate the stainless steel silver cell
@@sreetips You know what, I actually think I remember seeing that video now that you've said that. Thank you for reminding me!
How do I get that book?
Have you tried to alloy the material together then recover ?
No, 22.5g of pure gold alloyed with 10 pounds of copper would be a difficult refine. The object is to separate and concentrate the valuable metal. Alloying everything together would be a step in the wrong direction.
Thank you for all the knowledge
is there a way too get all the gold via weak acids too dissolve the base metals over a long time ?6months? . gl
I don’t have much experience with these. I don’t know
Who is Sreetips?
Sreetips is first US jewerly destructor.

How does Mrs Sreetips get all thet stuff? Is she the reborn Calamity-Jane? Robbing all jewelry stores between Atlantic and Pacific?

Can you do some more acid bleach refining I am a 14 year old I started watching your videos when I was about nine I have in total refined about 2 oz of gold and 1 lb of silver approximately and I was just wondering if you could do some more acid bleach videos because that's all I have access to by the way I love the videos
By the way I was wondering could you refine your old crucibles and get out small amounts of gold
There's no way you started when you were 9 without parents help
@@nexus845 well I did
Always wondered why it's called 'gold filled' jewellery when it's actually filled gold..
Just a marketing thing?
(I've only ever heard it called 'rolled gold' here, so maybe it's locational)
Mr. sreetips, do you Categorize gold vermeil as gold filled?
I’ve been saving a bunch of that. After I get more than a hand full I’ll do a video on how to get the silver and gold.
Interesting video mate. Quick question could you just so pieces and say on average what's a good price to pay for gold recovery. Hard for us newbie, I like to go around purchase old jewelry and store up. Cheers Graham
We bought about $300 worth of gold for $20 yesterday morning - at a yard sale.
@@sreetips thx for replying. Was that karrot or GF? Just for example what would you pay for a GF necklace 55cms by 8mm. Cheers Graham
GF is roughly 2.5% pure gold. So 100 grams of gold filled will yield about 2.5 grams of pure gold.
@@sreetips thx, I got that from Ur video. 2.5%. so if the necklace weights 100grams $60 AUD would be alright I guess. $233.80 AUD in gold scrap. Thx mate.

Packing heat Sreetips. Always takes us Brits by surprise but guess its necessary
Not necessary however it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
4:33 is that a 1911 i see back there?
25k of gold layinmg around proberly has 2 or 3 )
it would be interesting to see how much silver is in this batch.
I’ll save the liquid and recover the silver

@@sreetips I was watching, knowing it was gonna happen before it did.. cringing. Im guilty of doing the same thing. Its the way pawn poeple recognize eachother.
I wonder how long that plastic tubing survives the conc nitric acid.
It’s polypropylene. I don’t think that acids will attack it
@@alienrocketscienceshared8454 Thanks for that. PVC doesn't last long. I was just about giving up the idea. Will get the right material now.

How do you tell the difference between gold filled and gold plated?
Nevermind... watch the whole video before i ask a dumb question
A simple test: add a drop of 14k test acid directly on the piece. If gold plated the acid will begin to bubble, smell and turn green. If gold filled (or karat gold) then the acid will not react at all.
@@sreetips thank you!
Why could you not just smelt the gold plated and gold filled down then refine? Just wondering.

Refining Precious Metal Wastes
Thank you sreetips
how do you figure out home much gold will be left once your done could you share the math with us thanks
Weight of material times 0.025 equals estimated yield in pure gold
Is that a gun on the table?
9mm I believe. Dont mess with sreetips.

Not recommended, no telling what junk is in those alloys.

Good question. I don’t know. But it does. The test acid doesn’t have the same punch as the 50/50 nitric
