[@ogbullion]

Intresting. In my country nickel silver is called alpakka 🙂

[@sreetips]

Yes! We've seen that. It looks like silver. Usually out of Mexico.

[@JesusisLord-7A]

Can you give me the name of your book? A link to it would be awesome.

[@randalldornon9908]

hey sreetips!!can you tell me where u got the diamond and gemstone cases with the sticky side??thanks,randy.

[@sreetips]

I ordered.them from Stuller.com through my boss. He has an account with them.

[@carlosalmeida4415]

Sreetips I have to ask. I know copper is not as precious as gold silver and all that. But could you percipate copper out of your solutions and make a copper bar. If you have done that I'm sorry I missed it.

[@sreetips]

I've been asked many times. I'll save some of my copper solutions and give it a try.

[@carlosalmeida4415]

@@sreetips Thank you very much.

[@WoutDingemans]

I can get gold plated chandeliers cheap. Would that be worth refining? theyre often a few kilos, 5 to 10 kg

[@sreetips]

I don know, I’ve never worked with chandeliers.

[@SomervilleBob]

100 grams I/20 12K is 5% 12K or 2.5 grams total.

[@sreetips]

That's the way I calculate it. 100x0.5x0.05=2.5

[@haydnleonovich]

What is the book you're using as a reference. I'd love to get a copy!!

[@johnh8615]

That’s as clear as day man.💲👀

[@RGCbaseace]

Im looking to get that book whats the title's of some good metal reactivity

[@nordicstacker5706]

Hello I love your Channel I have a question Pocket Watch is Marked 25 years guaranteed Do you know approximate how thick layer of gold is is it like (1/10 14k) or What do you think?

[@sreetips]

I'm not sure about that. But I've gotten yields up around 4% when doing pocket watch cases. That would indicate about 1/10 12k gold filled material. Less depending on how much of the gold has worn away over the years.

[@keithyinger3326]

Hmm to me "gold filled" sounds like it means something different than "Billet of base metal with a thin layer of karat gold soldered to the top and bottom". Im my mind, a base metal with a thin layer of something on top and bottom is plated. Logically "gold filled" sounds like a layer of base metal with gold Inside.. hence the Filled. The way they describe "gold filled" is actually gold plated and base metal filled. So backwards.

[@andrewkennaugh4974]

Nah, not backwards, just named for the scientific processes used for completing them. Gold filled as in gold that has been filled. And plating is usually done by electrolysis. I could be way off, as I'm a novice in the metals world. Also named so because, well, Europe.😁

[@christofour217]

Your March 11th, 2019 video you extracted 18g from 490 g gold filled scrap for a yield of 3.67%

[@sreetips]

Yes, some gold filled can be 1/10 12k or 1/20 14k. If you see a piece marked 14/20 then that's 1/20 14k gold filled.

[@Joe.Rogan.]

Just a request... In a previous video you filmed yourself processing your material(jewelry). Breaking it down, removing stones, grading ect. For some reason I really enjoyed watching that and found it super interesting. Would be neat to get more of that type of content.

[@sreetips]

I've got a bunch of GF scrap saved up. Maybe I'll do another batch like that for you. But I'm really backed up right now.

[@Joe.Rogan.]

@@sreetips Yeah I saw your last video showing all the projects you got going on. You sure have a lot work to keep you busy for a while, I probably wouldn't have asked if I saw that first. Thanks Sreetips.

[@ursamines7643]

I did not know about the “nickel silver” good to know

[@AwakeningEnthusiast]

So I found a lot of scrap gold filled jewelry that weighs 550 grams. And it's only $25 should I get it? Would it be a good investment on my part? Any advice would be appreciated.

[@sreetips]

5.5 times 2.5 equals 13.75 grams of pure gold. $25? If it's to good to be true then it probably is.

[@HelloNotMe9999]

Can you post links to these books please?

[@theartofmovementdanceinsti8326]

What is the name of this book??

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Great tip to start with. In fact both are good. Well I see you have lots to do to keep you busy for a good while. Take care and always nice to see you my friend.

[@SilverMac47]

Yep. Nothing like being in the man cave. Just you and the metal. 🤓

[@sojourner1511]

Thank you sir, very helpful.

[@dennispeters3279]

One thing I’ve learned in life is that knowledge is a gift from God and it is given to a person to be shared.I do appreciate all that you do keep up the good work my prayers are with you.

[@sreetips]

Thanks Dennis. I've been given many gifts. And I thank God every day, over and over,

[@manhnguyen8338]

Sreetips is very faithful.

Thanks @Sreetips!

[@georg3besti3]

Thanks Sreetips UK

[@robinsonsilva1008]

Thank you for information, I think that the yield depends on the shape of the elements because the surface area is different.... What books you recomend to know to recover preciuos metals of different scraps?

[@CAM-fk7fd]

The ratio of gold refers to total weight, NOT surface area.

The entire shop to yourself is my favorite.
