*Is it possible to turn the captions on?*

[@Hill-13]

Looking into that

[@Hill-13]

Can You can hit CC. On the top of the video ?

[@reverendtfg6802]

@ *Yes, it's working now, thank you.*

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

Sonicating might get the flakes off.

[@Hill-13]

Didn’t think about that . I hand scrubbing them with a bottle cleaning brush . Any thing left over I was going to smelt into a bar and recover any values from the slimes in the copper cell .

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

@ Interesting experiment. Waiting on the results!

[@Hill-13]

@naughtiusmaximus830 me too , looks like it’s finished cementing out . I will start on cleaning it up today . Lots of rinses the on to drying

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

@ Electrolysis seems to have limited utility.

[@Hill-13]

@ I had some bigger pieces and honestly I thought it would go faster . But lesson learned I’m going to shut it down in a couple of days . Pull the cathode out wash off the silver and process it the tray will be melted and run through the copper cell also to collect any silver as slimes .

Isnt hcl and nitric aqua regia? Didnt think that was a thing for silver?

[@Hill-13]

It’s sulfuric acid and Nitric I misspoke once in the video and did not catch it . Have you ever used this method before ? I know you have seen me use nitric and sulfuric acid to strip silver before .

[@scrappingonthefly77]

@Hill-13 lol It's been so long for me I've forgotten how to do a lot anymore.

[@ScroogeMcDuckn]

You two have forgotten more then I know lol but it's coming along eh

[@Hill-13]

@ScroogeMcDuckn I misspoke and didn’t catch it during editing . AR would form silver chloride on the outer layer ( passivation) it could be tumbled or mechanically scraped off.

[@ScroogeMcDuckn]

@@Hill-13 right, causing it to just build a layer on the outside, keeping it from continuing the process?
