BigstackD is fun once or twice but his “treasure” is imaginary in terms of real value compared to the money he sunk into it with gas, tools, grinding disks etc. Aluminum bronze etc. are basically base metals. Close to someone stockpiling dirt or old newspapers.
Great part 1&2! The cloudiness comes from AgCl which is soluble in concentrated HCl when pH is very low and the higher the better the solubility of AgCl... when rinsing the filter with distilled water the pH rises and the AgCl comes out of solution. Those microscopic cristalsl of AgCl serve as cristallisation core for the gold when dropping it. You have to either concentrate the gold solution by evaporating most of the remaining HCl and then dilute with water and all the AgCl comes out, then filter and drop the Gold OR you boil the dropped Gold in concentrated HCl several times. But this is not so efficient because inside the gold powder units there is an AgCl core which is liberated when you redissolve the gold... Exolained this in extenso in some of my vids.
I watched both from the beginning and when you calculated the 2.5% in, I kept hoping for more. I saw there was a lot of silver in so I got some of my hope up but the weigh-in at the end made this worthwhile, 2700 is better than 2000 dollars, especially with all that work.
Thank you for taking so much of your time to make these videos. There’s nothing else like this (what you do) anywhere else. Your work is appreciated very much.
I came across your channel by chance about a year ago, absolutely no interest in gold/silver refining, but iv watch every episode you’ve produced since. Thankyou.
I find it fascinating how entertaining this is when you would think it would be so boring. I firmly believe most of that comes from how complete Sreetips is not only in his demonstrations but, most importantly, in his explanations. You could take the contents of his library here on RUclips and start this up yourself. Glassware to fume hoods is right here.
The best videos of refining out there. I looked at some of your videos a year back I think but even more and nobody can match you, your efficiency and professionality ;) Keep doing the great job you are doing ;)
I’ve been watching Sreetips for the past year and even if I don’t refine any gold, I find it highly interesting. Very eloquent man, humble in his mistakes and very educational. Continue the great job Sreetips!!
Love the come-back part! Old prof used to make us put a section at the end of our projects (there is a name for it that escapes me) that was specific on what went wrong. His opinion, and I totally agree, is that errors are where half of learning takes place. Books are ouststanding base sources of what others have found, but when you screw something up and can figure out how and why you pump up you own knowledge base and gain confidence to step further out. Or something like that.
Thanks for another great, honest video. I have a couple of comments but first my qualifications. I taught chemistry for more than 30 years. The cloudy precipitate is very likely silver chloride IMO. You skipped the inquartation/nitric dissolution step that would have removed the silver for later recovery. The passivated metal you discovered after your first aqua regia dissolution adds further evidence to the silver chloride hypothesis. Easy to be wise after the event of course. Couldn't be sure but the little "tail" at the end of your ingot evidences that some contamination remains in your gold. I see lots of comments regarding recovery of value from your cemented copper. Probably wouldn't be cost effective unless there are some precious metals retained in this copper but an electrolytic refining step for copper might be worth considering. Thanks again for your videos. I really enjoy them.
This is truly amazing. The skill set you have with the trial and error is really enjoyable to see. Thank you for making these videos for all of us. God Bless.
I love how deliberate you are in your movements while dealing with these highly corrosive chemicals. I’m a clumsy bull in a China shop and would not attempt this even if I had the knowledge which I don’t, but it’s great to see someone with your skill, make scrap metal into something highly valuable.
Another great video @sreetips and a nice looking bar at the end. 👍👍 Any afterthoughts on what might've been following the gold through the refining process ?
I do enjoy your videos. My father would let me do some precious metal refining in the backyard. I mostly did silver scrap but did study and try some gold computer scrap. My setup was a few flasks and plastic buckets. He would come out and ask me what I was doing and then go back inside after I explained. You might try Refining Gold with Dibutyl Carbitol to separate the gold solution from persistent contamination. Oxalic acid as a final precipitation agent is supposed to yield high purity gold.
So awesome to watch your videos again I really look forward to them thank you. How long do you think untill we find out what's all hiding in your stock pots and filters?
I always enjoy your videos sreetips. Your glassware is always extremely clean. Can you do a video sharing what cleaners you use, special brushes or other cleaning tricks. I find keeping my filter flasks clean can be a challenge. Thanks!
Hey Sreetips, Thank you for another awesome and insightful video. I have quite a bit of GF scrap saved up and have been scouring every resource to find a Nitric acid alternative method of processing. Any thoughts on how this could be achived with the same level of efficiency as Nitric Acid? Many thanks.
Wow that looks nice and clean I love it I have some gold about 1oz are more And it has some Aluminum in it that fell in the kiln while melting the gold down Is there a way of getting it out Thanks
Awesome video and a beautiful bar at the end. I'm curious as to why you took a different route this time instead of encourting your gold with silver like you did for the $47,000 bar.
Question I’ve been refining gold filled one batch after I filtered the base metals out I got a bright clean blue solution the next batch of gold filled I used watch band caps and after dissolving base metals I got a murky greenish bluish solution after filtering foils any idea why one was bright blue and the other was murky green? Thanks!
When doing GF it’s easy, especially for new refiner, to add something that causes problems. Maybe some soft solder, or other junk metals that form compounds with the nitric. As long as it filters ok, AND YOU INCINERATE the foils, then it should go just fine
I love your videos and am at the very begginer of jewelry manufacturing and refining. I found in my search that if youa don't want to pay outrageous for your gold inventory it's best to try and find the the carated gold and gold filled scrap. I get where to find gold filled items but where do you find the gold carat for refining and resell. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have 1500 grams of gold filled so far and all the real carat gold I found even scrap is way over charged on ebay and the other selling sites. Any help would be very useful.
Yard sales, thrift store, resale shops, consignment stores, flea markets, estate sales. Got to get up early and be there first or the gold will be gone. People on eBay know what they have and want top dollar - eBay is not a good place to buy gold. You can’t sit on your computer, in your pajamas, and expect to buy gold online at a discount. However, you can find it at deep discounts at the aforementioned places if you know when, where and what to look for. Most people believe, incorrectly, that paper dollars are more valuable than gold. We can use this misconception to buy gold at a discount. But it’s not going to fall in your lap. You must hunt. Good luck.
It appears that some of your material may have been Carat scrap instead of gold filled. Remember that crown left over in the un-dissolved leftovers? Please show us a video if what you recover from that leftover material. Thanks!
I find it fascinating that you find it fascinating by adding a chemical to gold bearing solution to precipitate the gold out of the solution. I find it fascinating that YOU can take a metal that never oxidizes, make it oxidize, and turn it into a liquid. Truly amazing!
Seems like every time we get a Gold Filled Scrap video the final yield is always more than expected. Also curious about what those pieces of metal that didn't go into solution were.
I use sedimentation in a measuring cylinder to remove fine sludge from AR. It takes longer, but the AR is then absolutely clean. Maybe it's a solution for someone who doesn't have vacuum filtration.
The filters hold up well with cold aqua regia solution. A hot solution is not the same. Even a hot silver nitrate solution can cause a filter paper to fail. That’s why I have a vacuum switch on my system to shut off the vacuum pump at about 7 inches. Sulfuric acid, forget about it. Hot or cold, the paper filters won’t hold up. That’s why I use microfiber glass filters to filter sulfuric acid solutions.
Where do you get acid from? That’s a huge cost factor for me when I refine. Also, where did you get those glass acid containers with the name of the acid in the glass? Those are nice 👍🏻.
This was a very educating video, thank you sir! Could you make another video about your waste treatment process in the future? Especially about the time and resources it takes to deal with the waste solutions after you reclaimed the traces of precious metals in your stock pot? This is a very important step of your work wich some people might not know about or appreciate enough due to how important it is to the whole refining process.
Quick question you may have answered this and if so I apologize.....is there a different process for white gold filled ? Or just add it and expect more silver
Another question if you dont mind Sir....If you dont have an oven can you just incinerate the material you captured in the filter with a torch? Or would there be a reason you would absolutely have to do it in an oven other than convenience?
I have a question I know you do a distilled water and nitric bath to get rid of the base metals would using hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide not also work??
What is the cost of your refining effort, between scrap jewelry, chemicals, and disposal of waste products? Could the cloudiness be from the impurities in the stump out and Iron fertilizer?
You ever figure out what the impurity was that was following the gold over? Awesome attention to detail and craft on your part by the way. Just beautiful to watch you work and have your thorough explanations as well as you not being afraid to show a mistake and use it as a teaching/learning point.
And now , because I've watched many of your videos and have been a subscriber , you've given me the courage to think about trying this on my own . Thanks much from s.w. Michigan .
"I just throw the copper away"
Somewhere, bigstackD just felt a wave of sadness.
BigstackD is fun once or twice but his “treasure” is imaginary in terms of real value compared to the money he sunk into it with gas, tools, grinding disks etc.
Aluminum bronze etc. are basically base metals. Close to someone stockpiling dirt or old newspapers.
He doesnt do it to make money. He isnt into recovering precious metals, just recycling what would otherwise end up in a landfill.
@@cjwinther1658 His "treasure" is RUclips views. ;)
@@cjwinther1658 he still would surpass costs, he gets bunch of money from youtube doing it and its a hobby. Why not
bigstackD! He used to pretend to melt his wifes fancy faucets, door knobs, screens or whatever. lol
My favorite part was when he realized it was more gold than he was expecting. It's always fun to realize you have more gold than you're expecting.
Well something to watch while fighting insomnia.
Lookin like I'll be eyes closed at 4:30am at this rate.

Continue the great job Sreetips!!
Damn that tiny little bar is just shy of $3,000 USD , crazy
The chemicals and process probably ate a decent chunk of that profit.
I'm sure that he could have skipped 30 stages and precipitations and saved himself $2990 and around 600 gallons of acid into the environment
I think he probably just likes to pour stuff,,, he was at the gold mud at least six times beforehand ffs,,,,,,,,,,,,,
It's also very clean and fine.
This put me to sleep, woke up a hour later and he’s now washing mud in another beaker.
Thanks for the great vid Chief, absolutely riveting.
I love chemistry videos and am seriously addicted to your videos. Thanks for keeping me interested over the years.
its quite wonderful when you add your nitric to your HCl and gold and see it spring to life with that fizzing and gorgeous yellow colour
I love the yellow clear solution, but I also love watching the SMB precipitate the gold out. What a beautiful process.
We never get tired of watching your stuff. Keep 'em coming. Best health and luck to you, Sreetips.

Got it coming up soon
Thank you Mr.sreetips. I have learned so much from you over the years.
Still enjoying the chemistry absolutely phenomenal yield of your gold
Freaking awesome videos brother love watching u recover gold and silver!!
I bet this video and the pt 1 gets you to that 30,000,000 views mark!!! Congrats!!
Great video as all ways. hope you had a good new year and here's to more videos. thanks again
Bravo! Happy new year
Thats awesome. Good job. Beautiful bar.
Again...greatness thank you!!
Another great video @sreetips and a nice looking bar at the end. 👍👍 Any afterthoughts on what might've been following the gold through the refining process ?
I never got the chance to take chemistry in school. but I think I would like it. ^_^Also mad respect for keeping in the whoopsie as an example!
Great job sir.from Ur experience what is following this gold silver or pt group.
So this is how they make Mt Dew.
Excellent video as always Sreetips. Awesome yield as well despite all the repurifications. 👍

Wow that looks nice and clean I love it
I have some gold about 1oz are more And it has some Aluminum in it

Thanks
Great stuff, as ever. Thanks!
Awesome video and a beautiful bar at the end. I'm curious as to why you took a different route this time instead of encourting your gold with silver like you did for the $47,000 bar.
If I remember correctly, that was refined from karat gold, not gold filled scrap.
I enjoy every video. Thank you
Thanks for the video!
Have you ever done a tour of your shop? I'd love to see how much glass wear you have.
Shop tour: ruclips.net/video/WfhuY0eTUMo/видео.html
Do you think it would be less expensive to make your own assets or buy them?
BTW thanks for your videos.
I think I will start refining soon.
Great job, great result! 👍
at 11:45, where does the green color come from? it is oxidized copper in solution?
Just subscribed, fascinating. How much did the handful of gold filled jewelry initially cost?
I don’t keep track of each batch. That’s about 6 months worth of accumulation. My wife finds it for me at local sales
Outstanding sreetips Sir greatly appreciated and well worth the efforts involved thank you so very much!
How much does the supplies cost to get an ounce of gold or silver on average?
Can't wait for the silver refining video next!
Where does one get these acids? I pull gold pins from scraping electronics
Like the chemistry behind it
Wow! Beautiful gold!!!
.999 and he is going to throw the towel in for high purity, thats a humble man right there.
That is amazing!!!

Oh yea, that’s the good stuff!
@@sreetips Hahaha right! Watched you do this for a good while now man, few years at least, love the process it's fun science, thanks a ton!!

We make a little extra so we can keep going. But we ain’t gitten rich.
Where do you acquire the gold plated jewelry and trinkets? What kinda price do you pay for this “scrap”?
My wife gets it for me
Seems like every time we get a Gold Filled Scrap video the final yield is always more than expected. Also curious about what those pieces of metal that didn't go into solution were.
Most gold filled material is 1/20 12k or 2.5% by weight. But watch cases and older bangle bracelets can be up over 4% by weight
@@sreetips Indeed.
With gold scrap jewellery isn't there way easier to refine it? With using Electrolysed? With polling out copper?
Not that I know of - getting pure gold is never quick and easy
I feel like I would want some gloves that go up to my elbows or something. These acids freak me out haha.
I use sedimentation in a measuring cylinder to remove fine sludge from AR. It takes longer, but the AR is then absolutely clean. Maybe it's a solution for someone who doesn't have vacuum filtration.
Just wandering , must be stamped on jewellery that is gold field or any gold colour jewellery is ok ? Thanks in advance Paul
Not all gold filled material is marked
How is it that at about 5:00 you can filter the Aqua Regia solution through paper? I would have assumed it would eat the filter paper.
The filters hold up well with cold aqua regia solution. A hot solution is not the same. Even a hot silver nitrate solution can cause a filter paper to fail. That’s why I have a vacuum switch on my system to shut off the vacuum pump at about 7 inches. Sulfuric acid, forget about it. Hot or cold, the paper filters won’t hold up. That’s why I use microfiber glass filters to filter sulfuric acid solutions.
Sreetips where do u get ur equipment for doing this stuff? Like the glassware and what not
I bought most of the glass on eBay.
do you refine gold for your purposes or if some ask you , will you do it?
Where do you get acid from? That’s a huge cost factor for me when I refine. Also, where did you get those glass acid containers with the name of the acid in the glass? Those are nice 👍🏻.
GFS Chemicals. Bought the glass on eBay. The Wheaton drip tip containers from a lab glass supply place - can’t remember the name
@@sreetips Yea youve got some sweet glassware Mr. S
Does the Iron Sulfate simply create So2 Gas to precipitate the gold, just like SMB?
No, there are no fumes with iron sulfate precipitation. I don’t know the chemistry behind it
@@sreetips Thanks shipmate...
This was a very educating video, thank you sir!

Quick question you may have answered this and if so I apologize.....is there a different process for white gold filled ? Or just add it and expect more silver
It’s the same process for yellow gold and white gold.
@@sreetips many thanks
Another question if you dont mind Sir....If you dont have an oven can you just incinerate the material you captured in the filter with a torch? Or would there be a reason you would absolutely have to do it in an oven other than convenience?
I’ve used a torch, but the flame will blow material out of the dish.
I have a question I know you do a distilled water and nitric bath to get rid of the base metals would using hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide not also work??
Possibly, but I’ve never tried it
Very interesting, a lot of work and effort but definitely worth the results 👍
Good to watch this type of video for sleep 😂🔥

What is the cost of your refining effort, between scrap jewelry, chemicals, and disposal of waste products? Could the cloudiness be from the impurities in the stump out and Iron fertilizer?
@sreetips why not melt the copper into bars and reuse it to cement your silver?
Because it’s contaminated with other metals.
Gotta know what kind of watch are you wearing in the video ?
Sir, my dirty agua regia solution, copper, brass and gold pure green color.. Not settile in sodium metabisulfite.. How collect my gold
Glad you included the warts and all, shows your character in a big way. (Also how to salvage a minor booboo) 🤣🤣
Always use a magnetic stirrer when heating liquids
That is a beautiful little gold bar
Can you still solitify the other wet metals like silver if you wanted?
You ever figure out what the impurity was that was following the gold over? Awesome attention to detail and craft on your part by the way. Just beautiful to watch you work and have your thorough explanations as well as you not being afraid to show a mistake and use it as a teaching/learning point.
Sometimes it remains a mystery.
Silver or lead maybe?.
Have you use gold stripping solutions???
To dissolve gold
No
