Silver Cell Day 16 Silver Crystal HARVEST

[@KurtOnoIR]

Ohhh my silver bucket is too heavy! The horrors! Lol. Its beautiful by the way, learning so much from this channel, pretty soon im going to try and get started on this, ive been saving scrap for a while, contacts, non US junk silver coins, sterling ect. Can't wait for my first run.

[@SkyBrigidRain]

Don't melt down the coins man!!! You might throw away some collector's or even historical value there!!! Be mindful of what you process!

[@rhetthagstrom5797]

Waiting two weeks for the money shot was totally worth it. The silver crystals never fail to impress. Great work Sir.

[@DomeSplitter-y2p]

Thanks for making these videos. What you do is fascinating. As much fun as it would be to make my own silver cell, I don't have the need for one, plus I get to live the experience through your videos. Thanks for all you do. You deserve all the success in the world.

[@sreetips]

That’s awesome, thank you!

[@Steelythestacker]

Wow. Absolutely beautiful. What a pile of silver. You grew more in those cells in a couple weeks than I own total.

[@360Vacation2]

I don’t know how many times I have watched your videos. For me Kevin’s work never gets old! Thank you so much for sharing your videos.

[@m8imhawk]

Fantastic harvest, I was looking forward to this! Well done sreetips. Hope we get treated to a nice bar melt! You've really opened my eyes in many respects, thank you for sharing your knowledge and advice over time.

[@Pablo668]

I've never seen anyone describe a large quantity of silver as an inconvenience before. Great work.

[@sreetips]

I love silver, but I dislike processing it. It’s bulky and d messy. But after it’s done, I love it.

[@stevenrowlandson9650]

The weight of silver being an inconvenience is one of many lame excuses to not use it as money which it is.

[@sreetips]

Strongly agree

[@KeijoKurkkuGaming]

Seen this process many times but never gets boring, nice haul 👍

[@denverd2007]

i remember back when i first started watching you with the 1 silver cell and thinking when you were cleaning up "Man that's a lot of silver!"....now seeing your setup today with 2 cells plus the beast....holy cow....Kilos and Kilos!

[@ObsoletePencil]

I just want to say, while I am extremely impressed with that yield, I am a little more impressed how well you've placed your Sreetips logo in so many spots. It's in every shot 😂 Nobody steals your content!

[@CothranMike]

Actually, they still do, but it shows where it came from this way. Should Kevin wish to take action it will be easier this way. Alas, mostly done in mainland China so no recourse.

[@sreetips]

That too is a giant pain. Wish I didn’t have to do it.

[@ObsoletePencil]

@CothranMike ironically, that makes me happy. It means that most likely, Sreetips is part of the rebellion. It's stolen, it's probably illegal content material, and he's educating people about fake currency... May Sreetips help bring Communism down!

[@bt5-eo]

If you make a big hole in the button of the steel bowle and put it on a bucket. Then you can harvest the cristals by pushing them into the hole in the button. Or you put a sheet of steel around in the bucket and a basket full of silver shots in the middle. May be the harvest process could be easier. Just an idea.

[@eddaniels9880]

Every time I watch you harvest a new batch of silver crystals I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!

[@Ellis157]

Here's kind of a silly question. on an estimation, how many ounces of pure ethereal silver have you made in your silver cells since you first started doing your silver cell, I remember you doing that long time ago. Just curious because now it seems like it's progressively getting better and better and a lot cleaner, more angelic. It's just so beautiful and amazing science. Thank you, sir.

[@sreetips]

I don’t know exactly. I’m saving it for my retirement.

[@tarakelf7014]

Absolutely fantastic 👏 brilliant harvest I really do love these silver cells fantastic work 👍👏😀x

[@BlueFox61]

Thank you for all the work over the years that you've done for the hobby precious metal refining community. I am unsure if I'll make a silver cell, but I appreciate your dedication!

[@William_Borgeson]

That was stunning, I don't know how you contained your excitement! I hope Mrs. Sreetips and you had a fantastic time; thanks again.

[@sreetips]

I spend most of my time trying to make he laugh. It’s so precious even just a giggle.

[@kanonierable]

@@sreetips I see You have Your priorities straightened up very nicely, Sir!

[@JamesSmith-dp3sf]

Totally amazing watching you grow and harvest silver. Congratulations!

[@rockosgaminglogic]

12:45 have a tube going to the bottom before you put your silver in, then pump it out. Makes rinsing so much faster. Use a fish-tank bottom-filter type attachment to the tube. Also you should be spraying the water in, not pouring.

[@thehaze1972]

Well it doesnt have to make contact, just come close enough to make the current exceed the current rating of the fuse. Beautiful crystals! Thanks for sharing!

[@smijas]

With bigger batches come,... right! bigger (handling) problems. This is an excellent series again!

[@Algorhythmz]

Another excellent episode, so interesting to watch this process with you. It really shows the amount of work you're putting in, it's definitely more involved than one might assume at a glance. Great work, it's coming along beautifully. I hope you and the missus had a wonderful evening full of laughter.

[@josephcormier5974]

Outstanding recovery sir well done thank you for sharing this with us six stars

[@badluckk610]

Nice watch, I like the subtle flex lol. Been seeing your vids in my recommendations for a few months now, this is the first time I actually watched one. I have no clue what exactly is taking place, but it’s definitely interesting and i respect the effort and care that you obviously put into it. Best of luck brobro

[@patrickmcgovern676]

God I've loved following you since 2018/19 somewhere around there. I'm 40 years old. I hope to try this one day all thanks to you. Not for fit but more like a bucket list science project. Thank you 😊👍🍀😎

[@TheZombieSaints]

On the beast, it may not have actually come in contact with the basket, just close enough to jack that current up past 3 amps. But you know your gear. It probably just touched and that was enough to short the fuse. Either way the safety system did its job. Great work sir 👏👏👏👍👍

[@johnmccormick650]

Wow, that’s an awful lot of silver! Congratulations on a job well done and thank you for sharing it all with us. Have a great time on your date with Mrs Sreetips.

[@ottolehikoinen6193]

Heyy, the fuse worked as intended! Great harvest!

[@drumscholar42]

Thanx for showing the fuse and the contact points where the short occurred. Was very curious about it.

[@thaliahelene]

Hope you and Mrs. Sreetips had a lovely time. Hopefully a leisure occasion. Cheers!

[@paulknight1879]

It looks so awesome and amazing 👏 fantastic job on all the silver trees. 😀

[@louisevangelista9578]

You should dump the silver into a fine mesh strainer so youre not dealing with as much electrolyte. You could even do some rinses in the strainer.

[@lolbored801]

These videos are so cool. I wish I had the space to try this. It looks like one of the most relaxing hobbies I have ever seen.

[@Mike-METALs]

You're going to need a helper. Lol 😆 Thanks, Sreetips, for the video. Enjoy your date!

[@chrish1585]

If you used a double bucket system with small holes in the bottom of the buckets and a filter in between you can rinse the silver with continuous flow of water...

[@DavidDavis-fishing]

Gooooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! That is a respectable amount of silver. You should cast a crown for Queen Teresa.

[@earlywormgetsthebird]

I'm always looking for your "good evening " posts now! Hope you are well in gorgeous Florida. Take care, from Montreal.

[@DavidDavis-fishing]

@earlywormgetsthebird Howdy early worm 👋 I always enjoy Sreetips videos. There is just something about him, his delivery and subject matter that keeps me coming back for more. Hope your staying warm and doing well up there in beautiful Montreal. Have a great one friend!

[@sreetips]

Goooood evening!

[@Arne-ns2mw]

Hei kjære venner. Så fine ord David 🙂 Håper du har det godt på alle måter. Denne kanalen betyr så mye. Dette handler om Gull/sølv raffinering... Men du verden så mange gode ord og venner som bryr seg. Gud velsigne dere rikelig❤️

[@DavidDavis-fishing]

​@Arne-ns2mwHello Arne! Appreciate your kind words my friend! Have a wonderful day!

[@Silverlining-x3i]

Sree, thank you for your videos it allowed me to refine 47kilos of sterling silver I had, I learned a lot along the way with different sized silver cells, Voltage, concentration and silver cell solution temperature etc I would like to share with you. I used my electrolyte continuously producing .9999 silver until it started plating copper then I stop and cement the remaining solution and started over with fresh electrolyte dramatically increasing the electrolyte usage Also after having assay the average silver came out to 100% +\- .0001 meaning your silver is at least 4 nines fine! Hope to send you an email soon with more results and findings

[@sreetips]

Nice job! Thank you

[@kmikl]

"Silver is a giant pain" --said while casually sifting a few thousand dollars worth of silver from a Menard's bucket into a beaker Love it :)

[@sreetips]

Menards= Midwest. They have one in my hometown.

[@denverd2007]

i like how you have the habit of ALWAYS covering any openings above the cells with towels so nothing falls in accidentally.

[@keithperry8098]

Cool series. Nice harvest👍 Excellent money shot💵 Thanks for posting

[@seanhewitt603]

The silver crystal in the cells, before you scrape it, jeez that's beautiful structure.

[@mikesnyder6171]

Have you considered using 5 gallon paint strainers during your rinse process? Even if you had to double up the strainers it might make this process a lot easier.. just a thought

[@Ellis157]

I wonder if you could pour it on, like a heavy-duty window screen over a bucket or something, and then rinse it so it's suspended, and everything just rinses through. and then transfer it from the screen to a cleaner container. I don't know. It just seems like a lot of work for you. I understand we should find a way to simplify it.

[@sreetips]

My rinsing process is a little messy. But it didn’t take that long. And it works well.

[@silentferret1049]

I was looking at how you were trying to rinse off the electrolyte in the bucket alone and I think I might have a possible option. There is large 5 gallon cat litter buckets from the Tidy Cat brand, they are rectangle but the notable thing is they have a unique lid that opens up instead of coming off fully Like 1/4 to 1/3 of the lid stays locked on like any other 5gal bucket lid but the top part opens up. If you could get one of those buckets then if placing a filter mesh in the mounted part then you could easily pour water in, slush it around and strain it out without much fuss. Atleast for something this large in amount. The sealing lid that opens does have a nice enough seal so water should not slush out. Might make things a bit less messy to deal with.

[@anatolykosychenko8038]

Hi Ya & best wishes. SuperB! Thanks for work. Be Happy. Sevastopol/Crimea!!!

[@jeepin4on4]

Thanks for the series, was fascinating to watch. I need a silver cell now!

[@Antonowskyfly]

You are welcome. Nice product! No advertising necessary. Thank you Sir. 👍👍🤟

[@jamiegregory1970]

@sreetips another amazing video and thank you for sharing and taking the time to do the videos. Have a wonderful Holiday!

[@sreetips]

Thank you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@Ellis157]

Or you could take a 5 gallon bucket, stick a drain in the bottom of it with some JB weld or bonding agent, but on the inside have a fine mesh screen so that. when you put your silver in it to do your rinsing. you have the valve shot in the bottom of the bucket. Pour your hot rinse water in there. Swish it around. and then open the valve dump. that into another container. to close the valve. Rinse and repeat and then Bob's your uncle.

[@sreetips]

Excellent suggestion. Thank you.

[@bonthor7515]

U deserve more than just 311k subscribers for the knowledge u put out here

[@sreetips]

Thank you

[@GrifterX]

Ive been watching you for quite a while (years probably) and i have to say thank you for making these videos, its interesting watching you do the chemistry and i sincerely hope that you make it big one day.

[@sreetips]

I think I’ve already made it as big as it’s going to get. And for that I’m thankful.

[@GrifterX]

@sreetips you never know. Gold and silver are sky rocketing right now! Success is just over the horizon!

[@sreetips]

Possibly. Two things to consider: 1) silver and gold are not going up. It’s the currency declining in value (due to currency printing out of thin air), relative to the metals, that makes them appear to be “skyrocketing” when in fact, they are not changing. Those monetary metals stay the same. They are stable, and don’t change. And that’s why our friends in high places hate silver and gold. 2) as long as they can continue to produce fiat currency “without limit” out of thin air, then silver and gold will remain grossly undervalued. Why? Because they can sell hundreds of thousands of paper gold and paper silver short to crush the price of those metals. But what if they get squeezed? No worries, they can cover the shorts with more printed money. They use inflation (currency printing) to crush the price of the inflation hedges. It’s brilliant, and because of people’s ignorance, it works. Sorry for the long-winded response. But you can see why this scam works by how many words it took me to convey the concepts of the deception. Most folks won’t take the time to study and comprehend it. And that’s what enables them to pull it off.

[@arglebargle42]

Ok I was not expecting how rapidly the silver pieces decomposed. This sounds like something I'd like to just try for fun

[@gfhrtshergheghegewgewgew1730]

i'm glad you're sticking to siphoning instead of trying to lift those bowls full of heavy silver and electrolyte to drain them

[@apostolviorel8482]

I was so captivated by your activity that I tilted the phone every time you rinsed the crystals. ;)

[@ArielleViking]

Such an amazing harvest 👍🏻

[@MoshriqMohammed]

Good morning, Mrs and Mr Sreetips from beautiful Dubai 🙏🌹

[@Cabiotube]

Might think about a steel mesh screen to do your rinsing on

[@longtoothevecruentusinvict6956]

it occurs to me that maybe you should look into a 3D printer. Doing some custom fabrication of pieces like maybe a frame to hold a large filter across the top of your 5 gallon bucket so you don't have to worry about all the silver tumbling out. Etc etc. Just an idea.

[@sreetips]

Good suggestion, thank you.

[@markmatt9174]

Ooowwaaahh, a HOT DATE with mrs. @streetips 😍 😂😂. Inplace of the Fuse look for a resetable (automatic or manual) small CB. They come with ones with LEDs that light up too. Lites when tripped, just reset after correcting the fault/silver height.😊

[@sreetips]

They arrived last Friday. I’ll use them in my next run.

[@rixismetals]

Great video , I got power regulator for Christmas off my wife , I will be trying set up a copper cell and a silver cell soon 😁👍

[@Arne-ns2mw]

Hello Mrs and Mr Sreetips. Finely...So relaxing to enjoy this harvesting. Nobody do this better than you Sreetips🔥Fantastic🔥Thank you for the clip Sir🙂What a smart way to save and forget.🎸 God bless you🙏

​@sr❤eetips

[@timsmith9645]

Great video absolutely beautiful silver crystals 7.8 kilos of silver that's alot thanks for sharing sreetips

[@ryanconn8482]

you could cut a part of the lid and place a filter between the lid and bucket to help separate each. Like haft moon shape or couple little holes.

[@gallezzo6650]

8000 dollars in silver. Good haul!

[@andrewtait6197]

Surely using a tight sieve would be quicker washing the silver. Like rinsing the starch of rice

[@6000Chipmunks]

Perhaps adding your/a drain tube to the bucket prior to adding the new silver crystals would facilitate rinsing without having to lift and dump so much?

[@sreetips]

Good suggestion. I’ve done it this way for years. It’s inconvenient but effective.

[@Clarence_13x]

You can check a fuse using your cellphone. If you touch one of the contacts to the phone screen and touch the other with your finger, your screen responding means the fuse is good.

[@sreetips]

I’ll give it a try

[@MarkBrown-i3h]

Thanks again mate have a nice time with mrs streetips😊

[@retheisen]

I asked for this timelapse. Thank you!!!

[@someguy-k2h]

You could drill some holes in the bottom of that silver bucket and put a metal screen on the bottom. Then you should be able use it like a colander to wash your electrolyte off the silver.

[@jonahweinshenker]

Would love to see you melt some silver bars or one big bar. I know big bars aren’t practical but it’s so much fun to watch. Anyway, I really enjoyed this series.

[@sreetips]

I’ll eventually melt into 5 ounces bars and sell them.

[@johannesdesloper8434]

Awesome this production line. btw did you notice when the heating element turned on when you where drying the silver crystal the dish moved? I'm always looking for explanations for phenomenae like that. there could be something wrong.

[@sreetips]

Yes, the heating element is temperature regulated automatically turning on and off to achieve a certain temperature point based on the setting input by the knob in front of the unit. As it heat it expands. As it cools it contracts. And this heating and cooling is what causes the dish on top to oscillate.

[@wadeo4263]

Im verry happy to see the set up's,i have seen you have an electric ioed on your ebay site,i like the set up is brilliant and verry impressive

[@sreetips]

Thanks You

[@NateK-fr3td]

This was a great series to watch!

[@guytelfer1353]

Good time for a cleanout, how about a half steel bowl in a glass bowl so we can see the sides and underneath

[@scottrobinson7739]

How does this work do you actually grow silver or are you only getting what you put in but in a more pure form? Love to see all those silver crystals

[@sreetips]

I refine gold. I use sterling silver, that I buy at estate sales, to refine the scrap gold. I recover the silver from that, melt into shot, and run it through my silver cell. Silver is a by-product of my gold refining. The cell converts the impure silver (about 980 parts per thousand silver) to high purity four nines fine (9999 parts per ten thousand) pure elemental silver metal. So I’m refining the impure silver, into high purity silver, not creating silver out of thin air. When it’s full, I harvest the pure silver crystal, put it away and forget about it. Then I repeat the whole thing again.

[@scottrobinson7739]

Thanks it’s very interesting I assumed you were growing it in some magical way, thanks for the information Ag and Au rule 👌

[@frankw.5751]

I am guessing that a very small percentage of your precious metals ends up in the waste. Does refining the byproducts for that percentage yield anything of value to you? I am amazed at how much product you extract out of the filters. Is it possible to show the chemical equations that you use. Physics, chemistry and math are my groove! Frank

[@sreetips]

Frank, I can do basic chemical equations, but I’m not a trained chemist.

[@GalenLeRaaz]

I kinda wonder, if using a stainless steel strainer with small diameter of the mesh wouldn't be better to use as a precaution during the decantation.

[@dougggetman5158]

Good evening! I've been looking through your videos to see if I can find one where you extract the nickel from nickel-coated brass shell casings but no luck. Have you done a video like that?

[@sreetips]

No, I’ve never worked with that kind of material.

[@retheisen]

The casserole dishes remind me of my mom's kitchen.

[@jetegtmeier71]

you made your own problems when you combined all 3 cells into 1 bucket, I've watched your cleanouts before and you always end up breaking down each batch just to be able to handle the wash, so yea I seen that coming LOL

[@sreetips]

Good call!

[@TechneMoira]

Nice harvest...I wonder how many bushels of silver you collected :) Wouldn't it be less expensive to rinse each beaker with the distilled water of the previous beaker, mr Sreetips?

[@sreetips]

Yes

[@memorekz]

So satisfying! Thank you @Sreetips!

[@MrBobberino01]

You need to use a micron filter to clean the silver off while keeping in a bucket

[@volkanyolcubal]

Finally, this movie has been completed with a happy ending, it took a lot of effort.❤❤❤

[@scrappingonthefly77]

That was an amazing amount. Wow. Nice job

[@timotheegoulet1511]

Bloody Hell look at all that Silver. Man you know you have recovered a lot of Gold when you have that much silver.

[@cointenderrarities933]

Just as lab grown diamonds have destroyed the diamond market, silver will be next because it can be grown!

[@sreetips]

All silver is grown this way. Every bar or round of pure silver began as pure silver crystal, just like you see in this video.

[@arrudarp]

You should try 3 beast cells at once... maybe you keep up with the huge amount of ciment silver you still own.

[@sreetips]

I’m looking for two more 6 liter stainless bowls.

[@frankw.5751]

How many refinings do you subject the waste to before throwing it away?! The accumulation must be vast after awhile. Frank

[@sreetips]

Frank, just like in the kitchen, cleaning it as you go so it doesn’t build into a mountain, is the best way to treat the waste. Out of every ten hours I devote to refining the metals, at least 1.5 hours of that will be spent on waste treatment. The biggest generator of waste, by far, is silver refining.

[@frankw.5751]

@@sreetips I am guessing that a very small percentage of your precious metals ends up in some of the waste. Does refining the byproducts for that percentage yield anything of value to you? I am amazed at how much product you extract out of the filters. Is it possible to show the chemical equations that you use. Physics, chemistry and math are my groove!

[@Plunderpigge15]

Next time how about an overhead shot of the big blue silver bowls. Would make a great background image

[@sreetips]

That would look awesome.

[@someguy-k2h]

So happy that you and Mrs. sreetips make the time to have important dates. That's the kind of thing that makes for lasting relationships.

[@ryanholladay3353]

Would you be able to use a fine mesh stainless steel strainer to rinse the silver with?

[@beauhodges7957]

I was going to ask this as well

[@sreetips]

Possibly

[@jessewilson8676]

Those fuses contain silver also (small amount)

[@tabcreedence6553]

That's a beautiful batch!

[@JSMCPN]

Have you tried leaving some "seed" crystals stuck to the sides and bottom of the bowl when starting a new batch? I wonder if it would affect the process and outcome.

[@sreetips]

No, I’ve never tried that. I always clean the cathode bowl thoroughly before beginning a new run of the silver cell.

[@guytelfer1353]

Maybe there's some contact in #3 causing the fuse to pop? Too much silver cemented in steel bowl

[@arch1107]

that is what he said, the crystal in the middle touched the basket, that is why he breaks crystals that are too tall, specially in the center of the bowl, watch the video again and you will hear it, older videos confirm that

[@guytelfer1353]

@arch1107 10/4, I actually made the comment before I heard him say it, but forgot to erase it, lol, amazing stuff, I figured he knew what it was doing, the I recommended it was time for a cleanout so I got to delete that comment too, surprised silver price hasn't increased much considering they're using it alot more, we got to push the solar industry more what I can't figure out is why they only have solar panels spread out using up alot of land instead of building upwards in stories with the solar tracker system

[@matthewshepler]

I started doing this with deionizdd water + silver nitrate crystall. And, silver slices from bar + silver saw dust and little silver cement in anode basket. Problem is after 3-4 days, the cell turned grey then dark grey. I experimented with lower voltage + taking negative wire off of the stainless cell. Would you say the cell is ruined, or can this problem be fixed? The cell was also close to base floor heater which makes me wounder about evaporation issues.

[@sreetips]

That’s baffling, I’ve never seen that before.

[@jacobforrester9827]

I wonder if it would be easier to wrinse the copper nitrate off of the refined silver by putting it in a giant bowl sifter or strainer, put it over a bucket, then poor distilled water through it into the catch bucket.

[@sreetips]

Yes, it could work.

[@liwarder]
