The gold waste water container has a nice powder to liquid ratio! It's amusing how you're less careful about letting powder through with your rinses today than you were in your earliest videos from many years ago. It just shows how streamlined your whole operation has become. You know that you're getting it all back anyway, so you don't sweat the small stuff anymore. It was really nice to get to witness that evolution.

Would wager the money is made when you (or Mrs. Sreetips) BUYS the raw material! BTW, beautiful wife you have there! She seems like a go-getter, and was first in line! Never seen such a line at an estate sale! Thanks for the content!

Your first sentence has piqued my interest! Do you have examples of some of the techniques Sreetips uses that are done differently in today's labs? Aside from a couple of things I'd to slightly differently, his procedures for refining gold seem as optimized as possible. He looks like he could do it with his eyes closed. Working in a longer fume hood that's not as deep so that there's no risk of knocking down glassware in the front while you work in the back would help. So would using a spreadsheet to calculate automatically how much silver is needed for inquartation. And lastly, I prefer using an electric kiln and melt powder or granules directly into the mold instead of using torches in a crucible and having to pour the ingots, but that's just personal preference.

@@Alsacien The old school guys know how to get good results with a basic equipment and a minimal amount of technology. Take that away from a lot of the younger generation, and they're lost. Many rely on apps/programs to do their calculations, and have lost the ability to do much of it on their own. Many younger guys don't have the innate 'feel' for the lab work. Technology CAN be good for making things more idiot proof, but it also has a way of breeding better idiots. lol The less they rely on themselves and the more they rely on technology, the less in tune they become with hands-on work.

Also, where do you sell the finished gold and do they take you to the cleaners with commissions and claims that your gold isn't pure or stuff like that.

I'm disabled and cannot work, but I have a gift. I can spot Gold when it's mixed in with costume jewellery. Not sure how the gift works, the Gold just seems to glow somehow. So for the last 20 years I've gone out on my scooter, using buses and trains, to visit every fare, every bric-a-brac shop, every charity shop I can find. Everytime I got to 200gm of mixed purity Gold I'd put it in my deposit box at the bank. I can't get out as much as I once could, but seeing you on this channel, has given me the idea of purifying my Gold. I have a back ground in chemistry so I have the lab skills. It going to keep me busy I have alot of bags to work through. Thank you so much for the education, entertainment and inspiration you've given to everyone who views your channel.

We’ve learned to spot karat gold just by looking also. After seeing tens of thousands of pieces over the last two decades, it’s easy to spot. You don’t need to refine the karat gold. It will track right on up with the bullion. So long as you don’t try your melt it and ruin the markings. Then it’s value becomes questionable. If you do decide to refine then make sure and get a fume hood first. No way to safely do these reactions without one. I ignored this when I first started and now I have impaired lung function and blurry vision from the fumes getting in my eyes.

@sreetips oh for sure I need a fume hood + a lot of other PPE too. I think I'd like a gas monitor outside the fume hood just to be sure, NO2 is seriously toxic. I think the Germans considered it a possible chemical weapon in WW1. The HNO3, HCl, H2SO4 and high strength H2O2 are all bad actors when it comes to your health. But I think the one's that people overlook are the metal salts. Mercury, chromium and cadmium being the worst. Thank you for your advice and inspiration, I hope you both have a great day.

As far as the nitric acid boils go I always thought of the karat gold as bricks that the acid can't penetrate to get the silver, etc. out of the gold. When you inquart gold with sterling silver (or copper) You turn that 14k gold into 5-6k gold and that solid, impenetrable brick becomes a loose, open sponge that the acid can get all the way into and do its work. The sterling becomes the "air pockets" of the "sponge" if you see what I mean. The ring got very tiny pits from what base metals were present on the surface. The nitric ate that away and took the shine off the gold. "That will buff right out." lol Mrs. Sreetips is good to us and she has fun doing it. It's nice when someone not only enjoying their hobby but at least making a little money doing it. 🙂🖖‍

I like evaporation because nothing gets added. Adding sulfamic could introduce contaminants. Sulfamic is faster. But you got to do it while it’s hot. And adding it too quickly could boil over.

As a different procedure would it be possible to dissolve the carat gold in Aqua Regia as a first step. Then precipitate out the metals in the usual way. Then do the Nitric boils on the precipitate to remove the unwanted metals.

The silver would become silver chloride and precipitate out, making the solution very difficult to work with.

Thank you for this beautiful and informative insight of how you find the raw material for your refining! In my country it's pretty hard to find some gold under spot value because nowadays pretty much every shop is acid-testing every piece they handle. But today was my lucky day, first I found 6 silver medals stamped 999 fine (185 grams in total) for 61€ ($ 67) and later on I got a 1915 Danish 20 Kroner gold coin containing 8 grams of fine gold for 31€ ($ 34). This is the first time in over 10 years of coin collecting, that I found a genuine gold coin for less than spot value. About the 999 fine silver medals - would you keep them as they are or refine them even further? (There is no numismatic value to them) Best regards!

It’s out there. Most people have been conditioned to believe that paper is more valuable than gold. They will sell you their gold, at a discount. I’d keep any minted coins that contain a known quantity of gold. And truthfully, you can keep karat gold just like it is. It value will track right on up with bullion. So long as you don’t try to “melt it down” and ruin the markings. No need to refine it. I only do it because I love it.

Would it be a good idea to test for silver when you're last nitric boils are colorless? Didn't you used to do that with ammonia on a small sample?

@sreetips 10 ай бұрын
Yes, it can be done with a few drops of hydrochloric acid will form silver chloride. Ammonia tests for copper in solution.

Mr. SREETIPS would pouring the Incorded gold into ice water help to get the micro explosion? To get it in the finer pieces that you've talked about before.Just wondering I don't have the ability to test the hypothesis. But I have noticed it's alway the first bit that dose it. When the water at its coldest

Thanks for a peek behind the curtain at the sale. Excluding time and consumables 24 g the 14k gold gave a 3x ROI. Combining the other items would theoretically pay for another vacation?

Random thought. Would you be able to pour your initial inquarted gold mix through a wire mesh strainer? Hang it or secure it above your water pot you pour the mix into. I’m thinking it should make some nice pellets to give a larger surface area for the nitric stage to do its thing. Not sure what mesh size would be ideal but I’m thinking something with somewhat moderately sized mesh. Try it on a bit of silver to experiment a bit. To A: To see if it works and B: See if it clings to the mesh. Not sure which metals would be best. Stainless steel? Steel? Copper? 🤷🏽‍♂️ If you try it out let us know how it goes

Great video! Ive been watching your videos for years and have always wondered if a beaker with gold in solution is so much heavier than a regular beaker with water if it is jarring when you go to pick it up because of how dense it was. This happened to me on a subconscious level the first time i picked up a silver bar or gold coin so i wonder if it happens when the denser metal is in solution?

Yes, it is heavier.

Nice one Sreetips. You guys were like circling vultures/sharks at the estate sale. Funny. But I was thinking, while you inqaurted and poured the molten metal out at 4:40, I recalled reading several times in very old metallurgy books about pouring the metal through a wet broom to make grains. I've not tried it yet. I assume the broom would have ben made of straw or wooden sticks in those days. If it makes super tiny grains, well worth trying.
