Always pour acids into water. Never pour water into acid.

Running silver cell are profitable

Hey bloke. You might want to look up the term "platinosis". After that you might realize how important it is to warn your viewers and protect yourself and them. Respect and kind regards.

I love watching your videos and have learned a lot. I started gathering a couple of years ago but didn't know how to get the gold and silver.

Just an idea or option. I have a bucket I put bga chips in. When I need stannous I put like 4-5 in a beaker with hcl and warm it up. Not only do I get stannous chloride I also clean up some bga chips for processing. Sometimes I process a bunch of bga chips then you wish stannous had a better shelf life. I use a dark brown bottle with a squeeze dropper pipette. That may get me a few more days but it never lasts more than two weeks

The background noise is terrible cant hear nothing.

Do you refine silver for other people all the time . If so what is the min amount you will accept

1.80 we are rich😀

It has been a little time. You ok

How many amps is it

Awesome video. I took the time to watch your last series, but didn't take the time to comment because I was wondering what had happened because I didn't see anymore videos after the 4 month video. Thanks for explaining what is going on with you. All is good here. Take care.

Best line of the video. "I stuck that thing to deep" yup that's what I was thinking when I learned my girlfriend was pregnant

I haven't seen anything new lately. I hope everything is ok. Hope to see more videos soon!!

Dino I am vacationing in NC soon. Bringing my prospecting gear. What river would you recommend ? I am staying near Fayetteville but I can drive the state if need be. Thanks hope all is well with you and looking forward to the next video.

Only fast process I've found is when you get a boil over. That is right now and fast.

While you could do this with a computer power supply, if you are going to put the time and effort and silver investment into this, I would highly recommend using a decent power supply that allows you to monitor and adjust the voltage and amperage. I built a very inexpensive cell but spent 50 bucks on the supply and Im glad I did, as I can now adjust things and find what settings give the best results. Just please if you do try this, do more research than just watching one video, and be safe and responsible with your actions. Wear all personal protection, and remember nitric acid can kill you if used improperly.

Probably fourth time viewing . How have you been doing ?

I've been doing this for year's

Sorry if I missed it but what kind of volts are you using on this?

Do you No Longer Sell Electronic Scrap Gold, Silver, Copper Recovery. I remember seeing a Video about A Year Or So Ago You Have Loads Of Disk Drives, CD Drives, Misc Boards, Hard Drives Etc. You Said If Anyone Needed Anything Or Saw Something That They Wanted. To Message you Get In Touch Somehow And Go From There. I Though You Use To Have Parts, Different Items, Scrap Material On Your Website. I Swear I Was Able To Scroll Through A Few Pages Of Your Inventory. Just Double Checked Your Web page I Only Saw Refining, Silver and Gold Items, Then Bullion Bars For Sale. If You Have Any Spare Time To Possibly Answer Me Back Would Be Greatly Appreciated Good Sir !!! Hope All Is Going well Thanks 🙏!!

Very. Cool thanks

I'm in the middle of processing the absolute strangest batch of silver (?) contacts I've ever worked with. There's definitely some tungsten in there as I can see a grid/waffle pattern on some that are no longer dissolving, but it wasn't there before I began soaking in nitric. I torched them all to red and none showed any indication of solder so I can't see that having filled in the pattern. Why it only appeared after soaking in nitric baffles me. Lots of silver coming out but when I cement on copper it isn't cementing out like normal (ie grey sludge like powder) but it is forming these very shiny gelatinous flakes that hold together like steel wool. They're intermixed with a very dark, almost black powder that if I didn't know better I would swear was palladium. There's also a lot of black residue left in the liquid after I leach out the silver and it is not acting like any tungsten residue I have encountered before. The ONLY other time I have encountered anything like this was a few years ago in one of my electro cells. The silver was not forming regular crystals but a similar shiny mass like today, only back then there was no black sludge mixed in with it. I found out that run of contacts was over 25% palladium so I'm guessing that this batch also has a high % of PGM. The black dust left over that doesn't dissolve in the nitric really makes me think of ultra fine gold as it has this very slight purple cast to it in just the right light. I had to stop processing because it was consuming so much nitric I ran out and I am in the middle of making another litre. This is just so weird that I am thinking I might just take everything that cements out on copper and pour into a bar and send off for XRF.

What is the name and model number of the mold you are using?

New sub. Great job! Hit that like button on your way in 👍

nice trick. i just did a strip me a heavy in silver plate ice bucket. and i do have that orange sludge. and with what i had left of the salt water is more like a acid now. so i did a test with some gold plated 80's comp gold and laptop gold wifi/tv tuner and gps board that fitted into old mini pci for laptop. and boy did it strip the gold plate and it left the copper alone my v/a where 6V 3.6A. just a note use rubber gloves unlike my i have green fingers from the copper

Hey man, thanks for this video! I've been collecting breakers for a few months and have built up a decent stash of contacts. I know I'm not going to turn a profit after subtracting all of the time and supplies, but I really want to hold that ball of silver just so I can say "I made this out of trash!"

I don't know the actual names of the different types of breaker box things but in my experience, the ones with a switch that have little braided copper wires attached to the arms that hold the contacts are most definitely a very low percentage of silver. Not even 10 percent. I don't even bother with those. The ones that are silver are in the breaker box thing that has a single spring button on the top. The contacts in those are always at least 85 percent silver. Sometimes almost pure.

Does using distilled water matter any?

Love that keep up the good work

Curious about where in GA the gold came from?

I saw the old guys tinker with this production at home in the winter. Just a kid in 1970, and remember the cartridge we got were all made of thick paper with a paper cap pressed in the front. Not watertight. The wadding was excess wool. They made them either in slugs or buck to shoot the seals so they would not take the fishing lines when fishing the fjord. The lines were very expensive and having a single or double barrel shotgun was a cheap way to insure the fishing gear. As a bonus they somtimes got a excellent shark bait from the seal.

Hey there I am new to doing this and was wondering if you could tell me what the different colors of sediment or sludge are and also does any of the silver dissolve and what happens when you accidentally use pure silver. I've read that the silver doesn't dissolve yet if you touch it it certainly does

Can you reply to say WHAT was the INITIAL POWDER you used to make the PLATE IMPRESSION. Was it ALGINATE POWDER? Video was a TREMENDOUS HELP!

Good to see you Brother!! Hope your doing well! Been extremely busy here.

Your video is misinforming! There are two types of MLCCs: NME (Noble Metal Electrode) containing Silver and Palladium, and BME (Base Metal Electrode) containing Nickel and Copper. The BME type was developed as a cheaper alternative MLCC, for use when less performance is acceptable. They went into production in the mid '90es and became fairly widespread from year 2000 onwards. The two types are easy to separate using a relative strong magnet (from a large loudspeaker or a microwave oven; not a Neodymium magnet). The high Nickel content in the BME type makes them magnetic. (Nickel is worth almost three times more than Copper). Be careful not to confuse MLCCs with Surface Mounted Resistors. They look almost the same, but usually have small (3 or 4 digits) numbers on top of them. These Resistors contain valuable Ruthenium. The common two stage hydrometallurgical process recovers all Tin and Lead from the solder used on both types. The BME type yields Nickel, Copper, Titanium, and small amounts of other metals. The NME type yields Palladium and Silver, as well as lesser amounts of other metals. For the past 10 years I have, contradictory to your claim, recovered well over 1 kg of Palladium from MLCCs!

Hang in there my friend! Great to see a video from ya.

G' Evening.... Since this was 3 years ago did they last? Thank you

That was cool

Karo syrup works for that?

Thats crazy how slow that was coming through at full vacuum. Wishing you all the best. Take care ✌️

Good to see a video

Pretty please be well bro ... i'll miss the commentary

hope everything is will

Had to come down to Maryland babysit wife had neck surgery blown disk . Keep telling her put your neck brase (cone of shame)

Hope all is well with you brother.

sometimes it works perfect sometimes it won't but hopefully you will get the gold in the end

Your Santa beard is coming along nicely 👌

Will I just need to know… do your doctors at least send a Thank You Card for sending their kids and grandkids to college?? I hope they at least have a suite for you and the boss when you go to have a procedure done😂. I hope you and Cheryl heal up quickly and we will be anxiously awaiting your next video!!

Did the same as you did to mine..
