Alright everyone! This video is (NOT) about the value of any possible circuit breaker you have, and you know the breaker is worth more! If new, don’t sell or use old circuit breakers in your home!
Anyway! This video is to demonstrate where silver can be found, it’s just a little precious metals video, to show the public, silver is in many house hold products and items and materials!
Thank you all for your feedback and your support!
ty
Cool thanks always wondered
Cool. In the near future we may need this knowledge! Thank you!
Who makes that scale? And what other increments does it do? Fact it goes 3 decimal places I must have it 🎉😂❤
May I ask,how many hours of your time did this take you Sir?
The thing about precious metals is they always increase in value, especially when government inflates the currency. Your $13 piece of silver you collected 2 years after this video is now worth over $20 and will continue to rise. Bravo, I loved the video.
My wife gripes cause I don't throw nothing away, I salvage anything and everything, love doing it
I don't know why they don't get it. It's free money bro
Everything is useful
If you have a brain
I also do , it's a hobby not a money making thing for me and I learn alot.
@@danielhughes396you're not supposed to love anything else,buy her something with the money?
I have access to many breaker but that looks like a lot of work, my time worth much more than $13. Thanks for the great vid .
Totally agree with you about this
Exactly
Beats sitting in front of the tv
When I was young, in the early 70's, my dad would buy all sorts of mechanical junk (going for nothing, no bidders) at auction for me to pull apart. One thing I heard about but never got was a bunch of relays; he bought a crate of them for $1. After the auction a guy approached him and offered $100 for the box, which dad happily took. After the deal the guy said that the contacts on those relays were platinum.
Dad was a VERY smart man!
save the money you paid for propane and electricity and go buy a one Oz silver round.
With silver on Tungsten sponge, you melt the contacts with lead and that will draw the silver into the lead button and the Tungsten sponge will float on the lead/silver and leave very little silver on the Tungsten sponge.
To remove the lead you use bone ash and the lead will be absorbed into the bone ash and the silver will make a bead that you can pick out.
I got 3 55 gal drums of 100+amp industrial breakers and recovered over 6 pounds of silver from them. The company found out I had recovered them from the dump and never dumped anymore.
That was no big lose to me as i recovered $1000s of scrap metals a year that they dumped over the years.
I worked for them during the day and after work would stop at the dump and fill my truck with scrap and take it to the scrapyard and sell it.
Not worth exposing yourself to the cadmium
What has cadmium? Is there any PPE to protect from it?
Thats Awesome, glad I found you. Had a stroke a few months back, and looking for ways to make some money out of my shed. This looks like a great hobby and good for the mind. Gonna check out the rest of your videos. See what I can learn.
Keepin' busy in the shed is the plan.Thanks
Greatly appreciate your support, and thank you for subscribing!
I hope you heal and recover quickly. God bless.
Yup stay busy and creative,heal fast !
I WANT MY TIME BACK FOR WATCHING THE WHOLE WIRE WHEEL CLEANUP!
Wow...had no idea that those breakers had silver. Great video Martin....THANKS!!!
hello, im an electrician and have hundreds of old circuit breakers sitting at home, thanks to you i surely not throw them directly into the garbage now ;-) atleast i keep the metals from inside with these silvercontacts :)
Thanks for your time and input 👍🏽
I scrap out hundreds of breakers and save all the good parts .I have three large Folger coffee cans full of the silver buttons but they are still attached to the other materials.
Got a buddy in Dallas does big electrical shut downs. He gets those huge disconnects with big ass tear drops of silver. He just melts the contacts into a bucket of water. Interesting look into that whole world
That's cool. Great video. Thank you for sharing
Very nice, I love collecting precious metals and melting them. Something pleasant about it. Loved your video.
Greatly appreciate your support, your kindness! Thank you for watching! Thank you again!
Great video. Thanks, I'll never look at a old breaker the same.
Time is the one thing that can never be recovered. You can lose all your money and earn it back. However, not with time spent. When I was a child, all the futureists would tell
us that in the future the measure of true wealth would be how much disposable time a person has. So, if the focus is to aquire knowledge, I would say your video was worth it. If it was too make a profit from the silver, I would say no. Still, friend, do whatever floats your boat. That's where the value really is at.
Awesome video. Thank you so much for that. You've definitely inspired me...
Well it is pretty pure.
I hit the like button my friend 👍😊.
Great info. Great video
seems like an absolute massive amount of effort and time for less than $15 of silver
Depends if your doing little breakers like he did it's some work. I get industrial breakers and starters for electric motors. There starters I get have 12 big points that weigh almost 2g each so I'm getting a ounce in about 6 min from the starters . The 600 and 1000w breakers have sometimes 3 but usually closer to 2oz per. So personally if I get 2 of each i can get 6 oz in under 45 min. And I'm in Canada our price is $31 per oz
@@ChrissyLarson how in hell are your price per ounce different from the international spot price? I'm honestly curious! Do you have a ton of taxes added in there some place?
@@michaellind3653no it’s cause the Canadian dollar is weaker than the USA. $1 Canadian dollar is less than an American dollar.
Not to mention destroying $500 worth of breakers. SMFH
Three hours of labor. A bottle of propane- $7
All for $13 worth of silver. You’re killing it..
haahaha...remember that we live in a society that says you have to congradulate the stupid, therefore your comment was offensive and dangerous. People are dying left and right by negative comments on RUclips videos.
Yup, massive waste of time and effort when you could easily make $100+ for just going to work let alone working for yourself
Why you hating? The guy enjoys it who are you to judge him
@@BigCheech-wy9os damn rest a second and put it on your shoulder your jaws must be getting sore.
Fuckin people are harsh lol you wasted 16:42 watching the video to talk shit this is great
Glad to be associated with you because you have a great attitude 😊
Well done Martin and thanks for the instructional video. 🤙
Great video! Nice silver button! Super videography!
If it is not 100% silver and some of them are silver plated then it's not pure silver but use nitric acid and then once you have everything dissolved in nitric acid that has been diluted in distilled water you can stick a piece of copper in there and precipitate the silver as cement silver which is generally 98 to 99% pure after it all has submitted out on the copper filter it and rinse until all of it comes out clear and then take that and melt it it's far quicker and far more efficient to do it that way and in the end you end up with a far more pure product
Personally I am a fan of cupelletion, for anything 99.9% or under. A common earth metal like zinc, tin, or lead, and a bone ash cupelle some heat and you are done. To get 99.99% or better (medical grade), acids and pretty much a lab setting is the only way.
This process is highly inefficient.
Nice breaker clean-up.
Some May say $13 not much, But You did more than Sitting around watching TV.
Super job!
Not everyone owns such a box of machinery needed to perform this, and I am sure that your time is also worth something. Wish you the best.
I had fun watching ! Thanks !
Fun watching, are you serious, I fail to see the fun factor, are you brain injured or born stupid, wtf!
I liked it! good job!
Cool I like this kind of stuff, scraping is fun I started scraping in my early teens and I bought my first car from my aluminum pile
Sweet! Great story! Proves my point
Thanks 🙏 for watching
Excellent video 👍 you taught me just what I needed to know ! You explained the process very well and it was easy to understand ! Can't wait to see what you go for next 😉
Otis, thank you so very much! Man, I greatly appreciate your input, it brightened my day! Honestly! Thank you! Greatly appreciate your support and subscription! Three thumbs up 👍 👍👍
$13 for all that time and effort, not to mention the euipment and gas, you lost money
Indubitably
Thanks for your knowledge
Thank you, 4 watching
Thanks for the information!!
Great video!!
Thank you 4 watching
Your awesome brother do what you do and God bless ya brother
Enjoyed watching this 👍🏽
Thank you, appreciated
I'm a HVAC contractor bro.. Great information...I'm on it💯💯💯
I love it , it's fun , I do it year round , I strip large wire and collect circuit breakers and boards
I have a load of circuit boards about 20 percent de populated ( I'm sure you which percent I'm talking about) I was going to eventually separate all the metals from them but now I'm just wanting to get them gone ,any idea what I should do with em
great job
Crushed the like button! Excellent video and thank you so much for sharing!
Greatly appreciated, thank you
I dissolved one troy ounce of contacts collected from relays I got at the junkyard. They worked out to be about %60 ish silver. Started with 31.1g contacts and yielded a 19.6g silver button.
Did you XRF? Were the contacts alloyed with cadmium? 😬
@travismiller5548 did not xrf. Alloyed with something.....had a milky white sediment after I dissolved them. Could be tin oxide, though. I'm not positive. Definitely had some copper alloyed as well. I didn't melt the raw contacts as the small size made it an ideal size already. My understanding is when cadmium is heated/melted is when it gives off toxic fumes.
I've been throwing away breakers for years. I bet I could collect a couple hundred by the end of the week. One problem, I burnt myself three times just watching this video!
How do you get access to so many breakers? If you dont mind me asking
@@andrewcristo2012 I do volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity. You'd be surprised what gets tossed in the dumpster.
Thank you 😌
You’re welcome 😊
Love the Detex station in your video!
Thank you
You're welcome
Great video 👍
Thanks for the visit
Thank you!
No
Thank you!
Appreciate your support!
It’s greatly appreciated!
Have @Wonderful New Year's !//thanks
go ahead bro, thanks for your Video, very nice😀😀
Many many thanks
Gr8 vid mate
I want to know how long it takes you from the beginning to the end to recover that little bit of silver is it really worth it?
Super cool
What up Silver :)
I'm in recovery too!!😊❤
I hope youre also collecting the copper & brass in all those breakers!!!
thank you. I shared this with my son.
Wonderful! Thank you for watching! Greatly appreciated
Nothing wronf with having a hobby, "but" if the energy is expended to see a profit with your hobby, best to keep the breakers as breakers, far more money and less energy and costs!
Now that is recycling , love it
Appreciated! Thank you very much
Much appreciated! Thank you
Good video. I scrap them on a regular
lotta work but as a hobby, why not, good job !
You have to refine it before you can call it pure silver.
Cool thankyou
Your very very welcome
This is totally awesome. I'm an electrician. Now I'm going to be a rich electrician
Yeah you are not going to be rich lol newer breakers the contact is a silver alloy and youll need a skyscraper worth of breaker to get a decent amount of silver
As a electrician the breaker I used were far more valuable than the meger amount of silver they contained. 3 phase breakers and single phase 277 breaker are expensive.
I understand! This video is not meant to show the value of any circuit breaker!
This video is meant to demonstrate, where silver can be found! That’s all!
Thank you for watching, appreciate your support and feedback!
@patrickmorris9710
Do you a good company that will buy new phase 3 breakers?
Ok I understand you man I get ac units loads every week I seen this I’ve been throwing them in steel pile bro thousands I’ve threw in there
The contacts that look like waffles more than likely have tungsten in them, you can process them with nitric acid ( longer boil required) then cement out with copper
If those breakers are still good, you could probably get at least $5 each...$250 would buy you 6 Silver Eagles...just a thought. Good stuff though - never even realized those contacts were silver.
Some breakers like FPE stab-lok breakers are no good and are fire hazards. Those get taken out and are 1980's and older and will probably be pure silver. They have no value as a breaker because they are no longer made or used.
Who's going to buy used breakers?
@TheZooBrooksAB House flippers, service Electricians, anyone looking to save a buck that needs them - especially vintage/hard to find for discontinued equipment. There are whole supply houses in Vegas with used electrical equipment.
@@nvlvdave I have tried to sell used breakers on a number of platforms. I've never had even one nibble of interest.
@@TheZooBrooksAB Yea, very small niche market, I guess.
You should try to get a bunch of old Allen Bradley Bulletin 709 and 509 starters/contactors. They have easily removable contact sets that are heavy with silver.
Okay! That’s my new goal! Thank you! For the feedback and 4 your support!
I liked the video, good job. Do you know if old bad switches have silver, more specifically light switches?
I love your videos
Thank you jack! I’m coming back hardcore 2024! Rebrand and new things! Stay tuned! Again thank you so much
Cool! I'm gonna be rich! My apartment building has a ton of these stuck in this weird metal medicine cabinet!
Years ago I stopped the electrical supply house to pick up a 100 amp two pole circuit breaker and it was a $1 more then a week earlier. Monday morning I picked up another one up and they said it was $2 more because price of silver went up.Told them to grab a breaker that was on the shelve at least a week and only charge me for that. Told them bet they don't even have a $1 worth if silver on the contacts.
Thank you very much for your presentation regards silver,, aswell it was a joy to watch as I noticed that you have fun and joy in your curiosity regards it,. Yes to gain some money but aswell the knowledge and understanding and pleasure in it,, that made me happy aswell
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job good work,if silver hits over a thousand dollars a ounce,mmmmm
That would be cool
Better than sitting in front of the T.V..
Nice
Its all worth it in the end! Save it for your kids. Nitric would have taken the borax off instead of losing bits of silver with the wire brush. Thanks Martin for the ideas.
Nitric acid dissolve the silver buddy 🤘🤘
@@noecarrillo4391 Dont leave it in there. (Sreetips).
@@noecarrillo4391 buddy.
So how you do it what's the process
@@noecarrillo4391 sulfuric acid to remove the flux
So I don't know if it's possible, but have you ever thought of using induction heating instead of gas??
rock on brother
So.... how did we determine it's purity? Because it's shiny?
$13 , i was thinking after all of that work it'd be atleast $50. So 500 breakers will get you about $130 worth of silver which means you need 5000 breakers to make a decent weeks pay after expences.
Great video with free breakers to glean from. What was the cost of gas for melting process?
Thank you very much for the info!
My pleasure!
Awesome
Dude, thank you! Appreciate your support an kindness!
New sub here, i have about 250lbs of breakers. Just no time to play with. Great video.
Thanks for the sub!
Where you at? I’ve got time and a lot to add to them
I would say that it cost 7.50 for this round of silver very well worth it
The tungsten is US$335 for a MTU. That would be 0.035 cents per gram if I calculated right.
Not trying to be a snarky guy but ….
It’s B.A.B.A select start 😉
I was trying forever to think who this uploader sounds exactly like.....then it hit me....Bernie Sanders.
I love this sh%t ive been saving scrap metals brass. Copper silver spoons cups awesome vid that cherry red button WOW NICE KID
Thanks! Yep you in the right boat! I do the same thing!
@@GoldenpaydirtReviews by the way i let golden nuggets for sale know you reccomended them to me today i dropped him a message with an order keep on doin what your doin man your makin bank $$$$$
TIP. Use channel locks to hold on to a button when polishing , LOL was this worth your time? and electric and gas used time ?
Dont listen to the Haters.. You keep doin you, If you enjoy doin it and you make a lil profit Have Fun!
Awww man thank you for the love! Many haters! The video was made to just show people, that precious metals are were you least expected them to be! It’s not about getting rich, it’s about silver and gold and platinum and palladium! I was just helping! Now I made way more on video profits then the silver 20000%
But I appreciate you and your support! You made my day, and I thank you 🙏!
I Appreciate the tip God bless you keep on keeping on No matter what the haters say pay them no mind and just let there words run off you like water off a ducks back!
Hmm i have a 34 gallon bin full of large industrial breakers. Wonder what id pull from those bad boys!!!
That sounds like a good idea but Friday I heard none of the coin shops were buying bulk silver rounds rn. I just heard that I didn't look it up so I'm not positive. I only collected coins only just for history. But now that wasnt a good idea not many millinials interested in history anymore.
Interesting way to recover the silver. It’s not pure Ag but still a fun project and worth recovering the alloyed silver.
I recently scrapped house hold circuit breakers. I got 67g of contacts. I refined and got 20 grams pure silver.. roughly 1/3 the original weight.
Good job sir thanks
Peace Prospector Tripp
You did better then me! LOL 😆 but I’m impressed! Thank you very much for watching and your kind words! This was more of a show case, a how to or where silver is! Allot of people write terrible stuff, but don’t understand, I’m no professional! I’m just a man who lives the hobby, and wanted to share what I’m learning! Thank you again
@@GoldenpaydirtReviews understand.. I too am a professional Nonprofessional 😂
If it's worth your time and effort to get $13 in silver, have at it! But thanks for the video.
