@@robertchapin3683 it’s worth way more than $100K. There is about 190,000 tons of gold available that has been mined and about 50,000 tons still in the ground. That is about enough for every human being on earth to only have 1 ounce of Gold. The value of Gold can not be measured properly in dollars.
Heck, I'll bet everyone watched that melt & pour completely mesmerized, with hyper-focused intent, and with their mouths agape... I know I probably "caught a few flies". 😯
This was the most excellent series you've ever produced. It proves without a doubt that Sreetips sets the "Gold Standard" of RUclips Gold refiners. I hope that bar is going into the Sreetips Deep Underground Super Secure Gold Vault. Also, good save their at the end my friend 24:31.
Cast it into a custom Garden Gnome and paint it right. Then park it out in the garden on a hold down (to prevent casual theft) and smile every time you hoe your taters!
I and my family are originally from rural southeast Kentucky where not too many know about acid chemistry, reactivity of metals, etc. NOT common knowledge amongst hillbilly folk. I delighted in telling my mother about your processes and the science behind them. Where usually she, a bonafide Mountain Girl with a 10th grade formal education, doesn't quite grasp chemistry, the context of refining "precious" metals gave her a good mental fix on grasping the concepts. Of course, I was only explaining what I had learned by watching your channel. Educational value, sir! Carry on!
Oh man - WOW. I'm so happy for you that all went well. That is an absolute beauty. Thank you for this excellent series! . You are the king of YT hobby precious metal refining.
Freaking phenomenal result! Adapting your furnace head for the mold was epic! Loved the freeze, doesn't get more illustrated than that! Saved the day by not over pouring as well! Can only wonder where your heartrate was during that, I'm sure mine went up just watching! Magnificent result! Bravo!
Having worked in an organic chemistry lab in college, I know that feeling of watching an experiment get away from you. I was worried you would lose some product to the process of getting it all working together again. Happened to me a couple of times. Still, you wrangled it back, and nailed the perfect pour on the bar. Poor crucible did a great job, but the gold was just too much for the cast, sad that it would cost a worthy tool for a most momentous success. These last four videos have showcased your best work online.
As a fellow chemist, my only technique critique is on the number of transfer. It builds in a loss of some unknown size over the whole process. The beauty of THIS process is that any losses are contained and show up a ‘free’ gold when things like ‘gold refining waste’ and anode sludges are worked up. No harm, no foul.
I think that's probably the nicest bar you've ever poured. Knew it would be nice by the way it slowly dried in perfect symatry under the final seconds of the torch, but man, what a beauty! I did also like that smaller seven ounce bar that sacrificed himself for the greater good, his honour will not be forgotten 😃 It's making split second decisions under the heat and pressure such as not pouring that last bit that made this a master pour. Hats off Mr. Sree!
She certainly is. She’s the reason I get to play with GOLD. I’d be punching in at Home Depot right about now if it wasn’t for her. Best thing that ever happened to me!
That's insanely beautiful and "What a pour!" Your work paid off, I know you had your troubles with this series but it made it all the more interesting and entertaining, thanks for your channel, it's bloody brilliant. 👍
Wow, very nice bar, and you made it ! loved the gold crystals precipitating in the supersaturated solution. The biggest gold bar I ever held was 30kg, they poured two each week at the mine.
What a journey. When you were putting the gold into a bain marie and then scooping the gold cake into the melt dish, I felt we just witnessed some kind of masterchef completing his pièce de résistance. Bravo!
This series was truly amazing. A work of art for sure. It never fails to amaze me what opportunities lay in wait out there if you are patient and have the will to learn and you have those out there, like you, who are gracious enough to teach. Thank you for sharing.
For the distilled water rinsing: you can measure the amount of salts inside the rinsing fluid with a cheap conductivity meter. This way you know when you can stop the rinsing.
@@sreetips those are decent for an estimate, but a conductivity meter is better for detecting dissolved salts, also they're pretty cheap and infinitely reusable.
What a super finale to a great series of videos. The result is spectacular from where I’m sitting so I can only imagine how your feeling with it in your hand, especially after all your efforts. Thankyou for sharing your work with us.
Quite a sight to behold! Definitely not something many of us would typically get to see, much less hold. Now the only question that remains.... As I said in episode 1 of this series, will 2024 be the year when the Sreetips refining company produces a 100 troy ounce five 9's fine gold bar? On an aside, not only is that the largest single gold bar that you've ever produced, it's also possibly the nicest in terms of visual appearance. The additional heat that your new setup was able to sink into the mold ensured much slower solidification which at least IMHO has produced the nicest and cleanest grain pattern I've ever seen from any of your bars above 5 Troy ounces.
I went to estate sale with Mrs sreetips Friday morning at 5:30 am. I was in bad shape at around one pm. I crashed about 1:30 for three hours. Woke up at 4:30 and got right to it. But I’m taking the weekend off!
Actually... $106,011.45 @today's price, but who's counting 😂 absolutely beautiful and in awe of your skill. Congratulations, and thanks again for bringing us along.
Love the content, keep.up the great work! Question on the use of tap water to rinse vs. distilled. Are you not concerned about impurities in the tap water finding their way into the melted bar as it boils/evaporates away leaving behind calcium and other solids?
Oh my God Street tips you have absolutely f****** amaze me I watch your Channel from Goldfilled scrap to kart scrap and everything in between , I mean that! Computer junk an gold plated pins and like I said everything!! I'm a huge fan of your channel.. and I know for a fact! That I place on a bunch of occasions the first like! Lol I'm such a nerd. 😊 anyhow I've just have had all kinds numbing over what I just witnessed. Thank you so much Mr. Streetips.. you made my new year for sure.
Man this video is only 25 minutes old and when I saw the thumbnail I smiled BIG for the sreetips. Ha. I’m happy for you man. I bet you are on cloud nine. Now I’m gonna click play! Keep it up brother we love your videos. ❤
Gotta say the past six months you’ve been ramping it up. Some new production values, interesting series, and now this. Working with all that material, that weird precipitation, then the final outcome. That brick is absolutely stunning. How nerve racking was pouring that thing? Well done Sree.
Ha! You cut me to the quick. You’re talking to someone who has laughed in the face of death. Sneered at doom. And chuckled at catastrophe - I was terrified!
Wow, all this work culminating into that stunning brick of gold, I can't imagine how proud you must feel right now, and rightfully so. You put so much time and effort into these videos you deserve to gawk at that bar as long as you want sir! I'm laughing, hooting and hollering watching that thing crstalize in the mold right along with you. Thank you so much for the best content that I've come across hands down, you rock!
Sir, that is realy something... I am watching your videos for years... from beads to this BEAUTY. Looking forward for more gold and silver adventures...
Beautifully done . I was nervous when you were swapping containers around. Thank you for the videos and an education in gold refining . Along with the silver recovery /refining videos. Thank you again .
@sreetips I have a question. Have you given permission to a RUclips channel to use a clip / segment of one of your refinement vids.??? Be cause I was scrolling through and found a clip of yours on another channel
No, I’ve given no such approval. There’s a couple small segments on “commodity culture” of some clips from my videos. He credits me. But still a little on the pirate. I could report it.
@sreetips It's kind of like an offshoot of the discovers' channel how it's made. "How Gold is Made " is the channel I saw it on just to let you know which one... thank you again for my package.
🤤 wow!!! As that brick was freezing the smile on my face kept getting bigger and bigger! No contamination on the surface. Just smooth!!! The perfect rise above the edge. I thought it was going to break tension and spill over!!!! So well done tho 👏👏 congratulations that has to be an awesome feeling.
Congratulations, Mr. Sreetips. That is one amazing looking bar, and I was in awe just as much as you were looking at that thing. Simply spectacular! Superb job, sir! Thanks for this great video series.
Congratulations on a beautiful chonk! That big burner and total mass of the pour seems to have made a huge difference in the rate at which the gold froze, resulting in smaller 'ripples' on the finished product. Stunning result, Chief!
That hasn’t changed. Gold (and silver) are real money. After the U.S. dollar, Amazon, Apple, and bitcoin are long gone and forgotten, gold (and silver) will still be here, and they will still be valuable.
That was a Beautiful thing, thank you for making my week, and a great start of a new year, please don't take anymore time off I need a video every day from you.
That gold bar is just WOW! I can't even find the words! I would absolutely love to see and hold a bar like that in person. Just to get a sense of the density and of course, the shine! I've been waiting patiently to see you make a bar this size! Absolutely worth every minute!
We talked one time about using more flames on your mold when you were pouring. You were right. That end result on this pour turned out great !!!! Great work bud. Enjoy your video's. Thanks. 😎👍🇨🇦
It's honestly scary how valuable that thing is.

Kinda heavy I'm guessing...

No harm, no foul.
Losses all along the way, minimizing will depend on the skill and techniques used by the refiner. I’m not a chemist. Did I already tell you that?
@@sreetips Hah, I love it. You have the sour, sarcastic wit of me and my countrymen here in the Highlands.🙄🏴
Sorry if I came off sour. Didn’t mean it that way.
@@sreetips I didn't mean sour In a bad way buddy, it's the way we are here. Just dry and factual.👍🏴

@@sreetipsSo she’s the money maker? Aka wears the pants in the marriage?
She’s the one who finds the gold and silver for me to refine. She’s “ate up” with finding a good deal at local sales.

Outdoing yourself again. Great video, and probably the best bar yet by far!!
Beautiful closure Mr. Sreetips. Thank you for a captivating series! I hope this one goes viral.
Thumbs up without even watching.
Respect regards thanks and fantastic year ahead for you and your family.
Love watching the process thank you and keep up the great work....
Absolutely incredible. Nice work.
What a way to usher in the new year! Congrats on the mega monster bar! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, very nice bar, and you made it ! loved the gold crystals precipitating in the supersaturated solution. The biggest gold bar I ever held was 30kg, they poured two each week at the mine.
What a beautiful brick of gold! You sound like a proud new father👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome!!
But my wife quickly adopted the new born (freshly poured).
@@sreetips And it could not be in better hands, right guys?
Thank you for a wonderful series!
And now part five!! “The viewer giveaway” of the mega 50oz troy gold bar will be selected in the next video!! 😅
Wouldn’t it be awesome to be able to give gold away for free. I wish that I was so wealthy that I could do that!
@@sreetips yes…! Yes it would lol 😏
20:01 this is exactly what it looked like when the ring was destroyed in the lord of the rings
That moment when you reached in and fetched the bar from the water was awesome! You can just hear the wonder in your voice. I love these videos!
What a journey. When you were putting the gold into a bain marie and then scooping the gold cake into the melt dish, I felt we just witnessed some kind of masterchef completing his pièce de résistance. Bravo!
That was freaking awesome. Thank you for getting this video out this early. I wouldn't have been able to sleep either
Love the work and videos why did you go with tap water instead of distilled? I'm just curious.
I have been looking forward to all four parts of this.
On my last 1/2 gallon of distilled water. I didn’t feel like going to the grocery to get more.
😊 thanks
The best liquid gold to Pure Bar I have ever witnessed.
Nice workmanship Sreetips.
wow! fantastic work! cant imagine what that feels like. bravo!

What an amazing bar of gold. This series has been a real treat with a stunning result. 👍🏻
For the distilled water rinsing: you can measure the amount of salts inside the rinsing fluid with a cheap conductivity meter. This way you know when you can stop the rinsing.
I’ve used cheap pH test strips.
@@sreetips those are decent for an estimate, but a conductivity meter is better for detecting dissolved salts, also they're pretty cheap and infinitely reusable.
Why not deionize the distilled water?
Filters are very affordable;
Buying it is ludicrous
I use about 20 gallons per month. It’s easier to just buy distilled water at the grocery store.
What a super finale to a great series of videos. The result is spectacular from where I’m sitting so I can only imagine how your feeling with it in your hand, especially after all your efforts. Thankyou for sharing your work with us.
