    Morning S.T. Love everything you put out! I actually have your videos running, as I repeat your processes. Hugely informative!
    I finally got the Refactory cement lid onto the Kiln I made.
    Slight miscalculation. 2 bags of 94#s of Type I, Portland Cement, 4 bags of Silica Sand, 10 bags of Peralite and all the steel reinforcement? The lid is HEAVY!
    Titanium shoulder's do not lend themselves to moving that much weight! Getting it in place and firing up the Kiln, for the first time, was extremely gratifying. The exhaust port in the cent of the lid, looked like the exhaust of an F-18, with the afterburners lit!
    Now I can properly melt.... well, ANYTHING! I am having some huge fun, thanks to your incredibly generous videos! Feels like I almost have a partner, working together with me. This is an incredible activity. You have truly made these my, "GOLDEN YEARS"! Thank you again S.T.! You are a ROCK STAR!
    Wade

    I know I'M looking forward to the stock pot videos!
    Also, I'm not wanting to send you gold to refine and I hope I'm not annoying you with this question, what if you split up the karat gold that people want you to refine and PUT A MINIMUM on the weight, like 2oz. or more or something like that? I don't know, I just had that idea come to me and thought I'd share.
    It could do more for you income wise, 1. You have someone supplying the gold (no money out of pocket) 2. It would be something new for your channel and would get you to sub count that could easily hit a million subs! I can only imagine if someone or let's say I sent you some for discussion purposes. I would have my whole family and friends watch those vids, so you could take one sub and turn it into 20 easy and take 1 view and turn one into 30, I say 30 because I would watch it many times as well a couple of family members. The RUclips checks could more than triple with a another direction like that!! Just some thoughts that came to me! If you already thought of all that and I just wasted a minute or two of your time, I'm truly sorry!!!
    You're great no matter what and you'll be known for 100 years to come as THE GOLD RECOVERY MAN!!! No doubt about it!!!

Was pretty neat seeing it shrink down in time laps! Small pieces might be easier to find but that large one was very interesting to watch. If you find another large piece maybe do a video from start to finish just with the one to see one outcome through the whole process!

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  4 года назад +2

      I’ve never taken the time to figure it. My wife does most of the buying. She gets gold and silver for pennies. Sometimes for free. The other day she bought a group of jewelry items for $50. The group had 150g sterling silver, two grams 14k gold and a 50g 1/20 12k gold filled necklace. I can recover about 1.2g of pure gold from the gold filled necklace. So that will cover the cost of the entire group of jewelry. Which means that she got 150g sterling and the 2g 14k - FOR FREE. She does this all the time. This, and the donations that I receive, are what enable me to continue to make my refining videos.

      Profit is made when you buy. I don’t track expenses for each batch. It’s my wife who finds the stuff that I refine. She gets it for pennies on the dollar. I made a video about a recent haul that she found for me. She paid $50 for one lot. Had 150 grams of silver, a gold tooth and a couple grams of karat gold. One chain was gold filled weighed fifty grams. The gold filled chain was worth $50. So that means she got all the other stuff for free. She does this all the time. I made the video but she made me take it down. Says it will make it more difficult for her to find good deals. She’s right.

    Would there be a difference in speed using the copper in dust form instead of the strip?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  4 года назад

      Absolutely. Dust form equals more surface area. More surface area equals faster reaction.

    With those silver solutions. How do you decide whether to cement it out or to instead precipitate it out as silver chloride?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  4 года назад +1

      I usually always cement everything on copper because any other precious metals will get cemented out as well. Silver chloride conversion makes nice pure silver, but I run it through the silver cell just to be sure.

      @@sreetips I am 58 years old, I've done the math on goldfield since I was 14, never knew how to do it so I sent it to a smelter three times, three times came back like one percent one and a half, and some of it was 1/5 1/10 1/20, and clean, in other words no steel or anything I can get out with tools. I even tried computers on time and cut the boards up into little pieces, and I know I get taken on that one too. It was funny now cuz I've worked for days and days and days on that. Do you know a reputable refiner, that will be honest? I watched several of your videos I'm trying to do the math, I know each batch is different, but it's still way off from what I got paid on my batches. And I'm talking about a 100 oz Plus.

    Where do you get your nitric acid? Some sites vary so much in price and then shipping is usually a killer. I don't have any local distributors I can turn to. However, I've noticed eBay has some listings for nitric. Would anyone recommend the eBay route or is it scam.

    what is the name of this chemical reaction that allow silver to go out from the solution and being replaced by copper in a nitric acid solution? Is this an oxydation-reduction reaction? Ag+ being reduced by copper?

    • @mehdi_fr711
      @mehdi_fr711 4 года назад

      But how can we be sure other ions, such as Pd2+ are not also reduced by copper and so, pollute the Ag metal with Pd?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  4 года назад

      Reactivity series of metals. Any metal lower and less reactive in the series will be rendered out of solution by any other metal higher and more reactive in the series in an acidic solution. It has something to do with an exchange of electrons.

    Does the precipitated lead if any stay precipitated after adding nitric?

    • @sreetips
      @sreetips  4 года назад

      The nitric will dissolve lead. The sulfuric reacts with the lead forming solid lead sulfate. It can then be filtered out of the gold solution to remove 100% of the lead from the gold. I add it whether I suspect lead or not. Hurts nothing. Provides a big benefit.
