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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes, it is heavier.

She was ALL Bussiness when that gate opened 😂. I don’t think I could keep up with Mrs SREETIPS at estate sales.

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.
