Me too plus I use it in the laundry also.

I filter it collect the crystals and cover them with just a little water . When I needed some I take out some then put it in a filter to dry it out . Check out AKBear’s YT channel his method of making Iron Sulfate is pretty solid .

@Hill-13 Thank you very much my friend for the valuable information, good luck to you

@@Dahbawi goldrefiningforum.com/threads/lye-as-precipatant.25260/#post-267801 Check this out dissolve in hot water add a dash of HCl to oxidize the iron sulfide

Sometimes I wear safety glasses bad habit on my part but I did wear I respirator

@ Strongly suggest a face mask around any hot acids. I use a fan mostly outside. This is where it would be nice to own your home so you can cut holes in the roof etc.

@ I trust airflow more than respirators. I am very allergic to wheat dust and I used to work with breeding. No matter what the respirator I would be near anaphylactic shock after about 4 hours.

Me too

@ I like your channel more than Sreetips. He is kinda on production level while you are experimenting with new things.

@naughtiusmaximus830 thank you I still like watching him. That redux / distilling rig that was used to capture NOx was pretty cool . I’m going to do that next . Instead of building a scrubber for the hood right now.

@ Is that to recycle silver nitrate? I don’t want to mess with nitric fumes at my level. If I had a barn somewhere I would.

@ Feminist like to make a big deal how the patriarchy forced Madame Curie to work in the stables. The reality is they knew how nasty the shit she was working with was and didn’t want it in the building. Lung cancer seems more common in chemists. In the past anyway.

Mine too I didn’t think about melting it first . Jeez I do things the hard way some times I heat the metal up then add some flux I was rushing a just grabbed a chunk and rolled w/ it. I was going to try and seperate solutions later today by freezing really do like how you maximize your value on reusing solutions and salts

Thanks

You can I studied for a couple of years then decided to do it

Thanks . I studied for a while , I must admit I watched a lot on Dusan999 and Omgageek, I have refined just over 2 kilos of silver and just 23 grams of pure gold

It would be interesting to see the results , can it be reused how do you treat the waste w/ bleach ?

@ The spent stuff is pretty non toxic according to their site. I gave been storing it so far. I think you can dump it after treating with hydrogen peroxide. I’m still learning.

Not much gold on newer computers , I prefer to get things given to me . Just received some scrap electronic material from a subscriber look for an up coming mail call.

Bull ring nose pliers and.small side cutters 15 minutes

@Hill-13 Ill have to get a pair and try it.

Are you using the Eco leech to selectively remove gold from circuit boards and pins ? I have to incinerate the filtrate and papers from removing the silver in the slimes now .

@ Yeah. I was going to incinerate what was left over. ChatGPT suggested leeching over incineration. I’m not even going to crush them. My current batch is crushed broken solar cells. I put them in a rock polisher with large ball bearings. I have heard you can used grain shredders for pc cards and memory but I’m going to try this first.

@naughtiusmaximus830 I think that you might be on to something

Sorry anode although in the eco goldex they seem to reverse after a day or so and you get a precipitate which they say has good stuff also. I then drop the ph (outside as it offgasses cyanide) and precipitate with zinc wire. I’m still playing around with it obviously.

@ I’ll keep posting. I have my own atomic absorption spec I just haven’t set it up as I need venting. The benefits of Eco goldex is that I should be able to pop samples right into the AA. With nitric you have to raise the ph which is a pain in the ass.

I’m dying , she’s a bad ass

She’s something alright she loves the garage and the dog never more than a few feet apart now

Work in progress . Need to complete the copper cell run , so I can do upgrades on it

You got it !

4.63 grams of silver recovered from the fuses and small contacts

@Hill-13 awesome brother

Lots of copper some aluminum , few capacitors and transistors. Trying to knock out things to reclaim space in garage really

It’s good luck in Asian countries. These fuse were in a commercial dish washer water heater . They were heavy plated I’m cleaning up the silver cement now. I have to say I really like your method of making iron sulphate . Man I have watched that video at least a dozen times and watch it every time I make FeSO4

This was from 7 small contacts and those silver plated fuses I’m going to filter the solution and clean it up this week end hopefully .

@Hill-13 yeah i remember what it was ! The silver chloride made it seem as though it was a ton of silver!

Probably my gravelly voice

Sometimes it seems like there just isn’t enough time in the day. Spoiler alert the slimes are taking longer to filter

@Hill-13 the slime is to thick lol. I messaged you btw

@@Hill-13Ebay has 50ml centrifuges for like $150. I decant then refill until the tube fills up.

@naughtiusmaximus830 going to check that out . I need to buy more heavy duty beakers and another 2L filtering flask , hot plate , etc, really could use a big win with the Lottery

It’s had so much flux on it I think it’s sealed up but I do kinda worry about it sometimes

Nice bars 👍

@ one ugly one looks like 200 gram bar are the limit for the turbo torch . Silver cools quickly in the melt dish without another torch on it

@Hill-13 pretty or ugly, silver is silver my friend

Out of practice

@@Hill-13 that's what's great about this hobby, you can pour and repour as many times as you like😉

@@mattlevesque5927 oh it’s an ugly one !!

Thanks probably should have worked on the yard today just didn’t have it in me to do the yard work

Good idea!

@@scrappingonthefly77 thanks bro

@@Hill-13 yeah yard work isn't as fun as finding more precious metals.

I know right!

Just set back in my scheduling but now the AP in in one container , still green ( dark green ) I’m going to put a bubbler on it . I have some chip legs to dissolve and some boards also

Thanks for watching More to come

Thank you

Thanks I kicked the camera over while filming . Still working on bettering the video productions

I have to find a bigger container .

👍

Thanks that took one year to get all the material to make it .

@@Hill-13 I know the feeling brother I am nearly there

I stared at it for 5 minutes it’s amazing how smooth it is to the touch

So nervous heating it up and pouring , I m glad it’s over with

@Hill-13 lol why so nervous

@scrappingonthefly77 that’s a lot of money to me .

@Hill-13 it is a lot of money brother. Just gotta look at how much you have put in it. No real big loss but the more you keep is a better gain !

Thank you it was really wild and the weight was surprising . It is crazy that little bar is worth more than all the silver I ran through my silver cell.

@@Hill-13 yeah, I’m always taken aback by the weight of the little buttons, anything over 4 grams feels unusually heavy for it’s size, great vid H, keep them coming

@@scouseurbanminer5106 copper cell maintenance and sulfuric acid stripping cell coming up

Thanks I was a little nervous melting the powder then pouring the bar .

Yeah it all comes with practice. Gold hit just over $4000 a ounce in Australia

Jeez we need to make a field trip

Lol

Thanks Adam processed 100 + lbs of computer scrap and some plated stuff . I’m kinda stoked I cast a bar w/ it , took 4 tries before I had a good enough bar

@@Hill-13 geez wish I could gather 100+ pounds lol

@@scrappingonthefly77 many years of collecting. My garage crammed full of crap.

@Hill-13 lol you should see my clutter box

It over whelms me sometimes I try and organize it but it take hours and then my ADD (adult distraction disorder ) kicks in

Thanks

Ugh , I feel that pain .I just found cafeteria trays that I’m going to use to contain spills.

Maybe 60$ for about 30 hours of combined work

But it’s “free” money anyway 😉 Regarding your lost scale, do you also, as me, have someone who just placed your lost stuffs in a good place, where you can find it?😂 My wife is an expert on that😅

@@Dennis-hu5tp that is funny we just had a talk about cross contamination of things in the garage 10 minutes ago

@@Dennis-hu5tp ps I found it n the tool box where it belongs

@@Hill-13 Haha, I know those kind of “talks”, an everyday-thing here😂

lol need to do one soon

Thank you your editing and video production is great . I originally started this so my kids and I had projects together they record when they have time. If you would like we could do another one. Sometimes I need a little push .

@Hill-13 I started to record what I was doing just for something to do on my days off from work, while my wife is at work. I work shifts, so I get a couple of days a week where the wife is at work and the kids are at school, and it stops the boredom. I record and edit everything of an old Samsung phone and I'd never edited a video until this year. I found I quite enjoy it and look forward to the editing as much as the gold recovery. I like to try new things every now and then to re motivate myself.

@@3-2preciousmetalrecycling kinda same situation I record on phone and edit sometimes , most of the time I just use what I recorded . I can process some chips soon .

@Hill-13 I'm still building up a collection at the moment. I'm hoping to get part 3 finished next week and put up on Friday. And then I might have a look at what I've collected in my temporary waste container throughout the year and then I'll be back onto stripping some boards👍

@3-2preciousmetalrecycling heated up the powder and made a button that was 1.23 grams ( video later in the week)
