[@redbaronrefining5322]

Man I love it! It felt awesome to not only get a direct reply, but to put them under the scope as requested! I’ve been subscribed since you were using subtitles and only had a few vids out, and you have my full attention when that notification comes on that you have a new video. I’ve gotten heavily into refining mostly from ewaste the past 7 years, and it wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t post these amazing, clear, safe, and professional videos I cherish. At about 42.2 oz of .999 gold, and 12.5kg of silver pulled from ewaste and some gold filled material. Your channel is a modern day Video-Hoke for me, including mistakes I get to learn from and see happen.

As a long time Cubs fan I approve of this statement!

[@johnwayne2103]

Question is where do you deposit all your used hazardous chemicals?

[@lazyjackass77]

I paused the video I was watching to come watch this.

[@ninjabothandyman6063]

Congratulations Streetips the silver crystal looks just outstanding mate !! You keep on doing your gorgeous work good sir !!!

[@TheFoxfirelight]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for all this

[@danielparsons5519]

Looks so clean! Your process is becoming more simplistic. Great Job.

[@ComputerGUY27332]

Love these series of videos

[@IMDunn-oy9cd]

Fantastic series. Very informative and helpful. Thanks.

[@visible2anyoneonyoutube]

These videos are pure gold!

[@Phoenix38m]

Well done....long hard fought battle for this batch, Senior Chief!

[@jonathannorthup5705]

Your channel is very calming bud love it!! And that was worth the wait the silver crystal was so white it almost perfectly blended in with the ceramic!!👌

[@wadehampton1534]

This is a great example of why we should capture the rinse water, and collect the silver cement from the copper. Even though it looks clear, it still contains a little bit of silver in it, and it needs to be recovered. I received my CM Hoke book today, and I can't wait to get into it. As I mentioned in a previous comment, it doesn't matter if I put the procedures in the book into practice or not (though I sincerely plan to do so), the knowledge in the book is invaluable for its knowledge sake alone. We never know what the future holds and when this knowledge will be useful in a practical way. I have started to collect sterling silver, with a flatwear set given to me by my step-mom. She was apologetic because it was missing a few pieces, and when I took her that I was going to dissolve the flatwear in acid.........well she just shook her head! I thought for a few moments that she was going to have a fit, until I explained to her what the end goal was. She actually became interested, and I turned her on to your KZbin channel to share with my engineer father. I showed dad the video of you dissolving a horde of sterling, that included a bunch of sterling flatwear, he was impressed by the 999 fine silver crystals in your silver cell, and it finally made sense to them why I wanted to dissolve the flatwear in acid!

[@richardbeee]

That's some beautiful work, Love it. Patience is your name.

[@deboshadow]

The silver cementing out always makes me think of old metal ships at the bottom of the seas.

[@kevinschmidt9295]

hands down most relaxing voice. watch you all the time to fall asleep and learn something new every time!! your awesome !! have a great day!

[@bobcansee]

That was beautiful!! Great job!!!

[@shannonwhite2214]

Got to say that is an amazing series that silver looks so pure it reminds me of the best Christmas mornings with snow falling more like from the 70s I think our snow has been dirty since then more comment than needed awesome video though S-tips

[@charleswise5570]

Thank you Sreetips. That was really cool to see the silver crystal under a microscope. More beautiful than it appears to the naked eye.

[@raypa01]

congrats man, that is a great amount of pure pure pure silver, i really liked this series, and i like how you numbered them. thank you

[@6980869]

Where is the melt footage?! What a cliffhanger you left us with! Thanks for sharing, iSuspect this batch’s harvest was more satisfying than some others….

[@kyzercube]

Absolutely satisfying video. Great work Mr. Sreetips!

[@dadhuntscoins]

I love looking at silver crystals. That needs to be part of my next purchase down the road.

[@Arachnos27]

Loving these uploads 😍❤️🤘🏼👌🏼

[@Enjoymentboy]

I can't help but smile at the irony that the scale you're using in this silver series is labelled 'Gold Series". :)

[@kphelps5431]

That's beyond gorgeous. Awesome job

[@jordanscoville3909]

the melt on this is going to be so satisfying. been with this one from refining 1

[@bronsonwawia9582]

I thought he said its double refined,for sale on his eBay

[@jeffklaubo3168]

@@bronsonwawia9582 triple refined and SOME of it is going up for sale on ebay

Triple

[@bormisha]

The melt would contaminate it with carbon and possibly hydrocarbons and such. Better leave it as it is to maintain its purity! Looks gorgeous, too.

Awesome man. Loved the magnified shot.

[@dazzadazza5255]

Great series of videos mate i watched all of them very informative

[@b.c.9358]

I loved the microscope view of the silver crystal. You did an amazing job.

[@squishy312]

Those silver atoms have sure been through a lot since this all started. They look rather happy now! Awesome turnout. Looking forward to what you'll have in store for us next.

[@davemi00]

I believe we heard a slight whew ! 😰 From the silver

[@ut000bs]

I notice you appear to be making more cement silver than usual. I'm thinking we may have another cell coming soon. 😉 Silver is an amazing metal. It has the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. This reflectivity is why it is showing up as white. Above all that science stuff, it's just dang beautiful. I don't know if anyone else mentioned giving us a close look at the silver crystal but I remember I did not long ago. Thank you, Sr.

[@rjgoniea]

Just checked the silver price online and as of now we're looking at $1200.43 worth of silver. Impressive.

[@jackm2681]

This was awesome to watch everyday, happy everything worked out for ya ✌

[@Beachnative42]

Another captivating video!!!!!!!!!

[@burriedhistory]

Awesome result! 👏👏 It was worth waiting 10 days 😉

[@shannahmiller]

Thanks for showing the timelapse of the silver falling off of the copper sheet. That was really interesting.

[@philbartoli2011]

Beautiful. Nice work

[@SouthernCrossGO]

Great series that mate. I enjoyed it :)

[@daniellevy4104]

Its beautiful! *Yells* Jerry! get the Pipe!

[@weasel6three597]

Congrats! Keep the videos coming!

[@Khodazmoon]

That was beautiful. It was good enough to convince me try this experiment.

[@scottcollier7122]

I've been wondering about if it would be possible to scale up the silver cell, possibly with a stainless steel soup stock pot and use the whole vacuum bag so you could fit more silver shot in at one time.

[@jd_27]

Been looking forward to this!!

[@bormisha]

Congratulations for the great success Sreetips!

[@shywatcher1961]

it has been a long 10 day wait but well worth it.. those are some nice looking silver crystals formations...

[@onejester]

That harvest is just so damn pretty.

[@goofylookingmofo]

How quickly does the anode dissolve? Does it get corroded.& rendered useless? Would you melt the silver off the copper wire to recover and run thru the cell with other silver?

[@thejll]

About 1.5 kg in 10 days at 1.5 Amps. I think that’s as expected if each electron takes out one silver atom. Neat! Good video!

[@bormisha]

Which is exactly what happens. The formula of silver nitrate is AgNO3, which means that one electron is required to reduce a silver atom. My calculation yields about 1450g +-100g for 10 days at 1.5A. If the cell did not operate in constant current mode, it would not be so easy to predict the yield.

[@PoorMiners321]

wow very nice harvest..

[@bryanworth8292]

Fascinating . Makes me wish I'd payed a little closer attention in chemistry class !

[@mrimmortal1579]

I agree. Maybe if old Mr Rogers (seriously, my chemistry teacher’s name was Mr Rogers 😂) had started out with “By the end of this class, you’ll know how to refine precious metals to a high purity”, I might not have slept through so many of his classes!

[@QuestionMark_119]

Me too

[@tracybowling97]

Looks like all that extra work was a smashing success!

[@BratislavMetulskie]

Finally the batch is done ;) Well done, dear sir.

[@anarekist]

[@jjprospector9170]

Hey just wondering wat happen if I put gold in it I started mine an well I add 24 k 3 grams gold to mine an I'm on day two I thought bout letting it grow 30 days cuz it should make bigger n better but next batch I'm goin do pure gold if I get enuff gold

[@IanTheWoodchuck]

What was the total time for that Silver Cementing timelapse? I'm curious how quickly that kind of condensation occurs. Thanks! Love watching your operations!

[@sreetips]

About 1/2 hour

[@scrapitjc]

Nice job on this and great value, Estimate 14=1500 dollars or more.

[@jeepin4on4]

wow just wow! "Your the King".

[@alfredmolison7134]

I feel heroic just for having watched all of these silver crystal videos.

[@sreetips]

Excellent

[@ChildersCastingandRefining]

Love those crystals. Mine usually look like mush in the end.

[@alistairmacgregor1456]

This is really helpfull, have you ended up with more silver did you make it from that silver bowl

[@sreetips]

No, I only get back out what I put in. We are not creating silver out of thin air. Only the Fed can do that - with paper and a printing press!

[@alistairmacgregor1456]

@@sreetips I since watched the other videos with the electrolyte's from that coin you dissolved, very interesting, I realised what a mistake my comment was about getting more, I have never seen it done like that before but it gave me a flashback for some reason. You like you're alchemy,, you should try and make some proper ORMUS from gold orbitaly rearranged monotonic (M- state) make a video on M-state would be interesting, sodium hydroxide, 24k gold distilled water, few other things I'm sure you can work it out.

[@kingbee17able]

Mate you always have the best looking gold and silver.

[@matthewf1979]

Was this yield larger than past runs? I was wondering if the better connections and fixed current would improve the efficiency of the cell.

[@sreetips]

About the same

[@AdamsWorlds]

Nice result!

[@scgreer77]

I have experiment requests involving silver I think would be interesting 1. Dropping silver from silver nitrate solution using vitamin c - I’ve only see it one time but supposedly once you get rid of copper solution you’re left with 999 silver if not better - Copper stays in solution 2. With silver chloride we know it is sensitive to light but from my understanding exposing to UV/sunlight releases the chlorine and you can just melt it once fully converted. If true that would save tons of time and resources needed for sugar/lye method Seems like interesting experiments to try

[@glenbisbee4951]

Sweet been waiting for this. Hope you yield alot. Normally how much do you get each time you do this?

[@sreetips]

1.5 to 1.7 kilos of pure silver

[@shaneyork300]

That was a good series.

[@sreetips]

Thanks Shane

[@UFObuilder]

Awesome

[@h.b.l]

wonderful pure silver to make colloidal silver

[@woodysranch2690]

Is there any advantage to disturbing the crystals and scaping them from the sides of the container before the process is complete to perhaps reduce the chance of contacting the filter basket before the refining is complete?

[@sreetips]

I don’t think so. Crystal build up on the bottom is to be avoided. That’s where it usually grows from to contact the anode bag

[@anthonypoole6901]

Wish i had the gear to do all that. I like the melting and pouring myself

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

very cool man

[@whobrokemyspoon]

microscope addition is super cool. i hope to see that used in the future as well

[@sreetips]

The picture quality was lacking

[@TanteLaurana]

Question: Doesn't the silver start oxidizing as soon as it's exposed to air?

[@sreetips]

Possibly

[@christophersherman5587]

I keep thinking, looking at the footage, that the electrolyte has the *slightest* tint of blue to it, after this run, though I guess that could be a trick of the lighting. I guess the question becomes, when re-refining silver like this, how long does it take until the contaminants in the electrolyte become detectable (either visibly or via chemical testing)?

[@sreetips]

Christopher, I noticed a tint during editing. But the actual liquid was completely colorless in person

[@don5star]

Hey I have alot of scrap gold of varying karats and color (white ,yellow, and rose ) would it b a good idea to melt them together

[@sreetips]

Probably not

[@GR8SCOTT]

Awesome!!! eBay store link?

[@somethindarker]

How pure is the silver that is cemented off the copper? Will it be refined further? Can gold be refined this way?

[@sreetips]

The cement silver is 98% to 99% with copper as the main contaminant. Gold sell video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHXJpp16pqqDg9E

[@stormdrifter7904]

What’s the point of the spoon you keep on top of the apparatus?

[@sreetips]

To prevent the paper towel from falling off

[@burnroe6611]

I get nervous with those large beakers wish they had molded handles. Especially with that much silver in it.

[@josephschnabel1andonly]

Beautiful

[@PyroFalcon]

Just curious, would this batch be four nines or five nines fine Ag?

[@sreetips]

Good question. But I don’t know. Three nines is industry standard. I think it will be at least that.
