I like that he said nothing about the firearm. Just a quiet message to anyone who might think he is a soft target. I've noticed quite a few clues in your videos that might point to where your residence is, I'm sure I'm not the only one. Stay safe my friend and always remember... center mass.

[@bormisha]

This time the message is very explicit and it's not the first time we see a gun in his video. Perhaps someone tried his luck already? What a mean world.

Hey Sreetips! Love your content! The color change during the filtration was due to Cu+ ions (dark green) converting to Cu+2 ions (blue) when you diluted your solution while filtering :)

[@nathaniellang7919]

Awesome. Loving all the uploads sreetips. Makes these long days more bearable with interesting content.

To use the Air Powered Battery Concept be sure your Copper is above the liquid so it can draw Protons to Reduce your Silver better.

Sold for $81 Nice! The thing sold while I was watching the video and I missed the auction darn it!

[@Alrik.]

US nickels are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, Canadian nickels however were made of 999 nickel until 1982. Could it be that's what the author of the book is talking about?

[@sreetips]

She was an American. I don’t know why she wrote that in her book. But she also recommends using a fan blowing out the window for fumes and to, “flush the waste with plenty of water to protect the pipes.”

[@larryharris6998]

I've been watching your videos for years now. It really shows your detail to everything you do. You must be doing something right when you can get 70.00 for under an ounce clearly off your name alone. Keep up the good work.

[@moag2000]

You can remove marks from the visor with car polish, if they're not on the side where the tint got applied. You can test that on an edge outside the field of view. If you're unsure, you can still get a new one but if it's just for the marks on the video, this should help. Also, resin polish can help depending on the material of the visor.

[@sreetips]

I bought new ones today

[@jasonwright1687]

Nice video. Once you replied yesterday, i noticed that the morrel video was the electrolytic gold... I didn't remember about that for some reason (how on earth could i forget?!) ... i would TOTALLY love to see another run of that with a lot more showcasing with HD close up shots and such... It is very rare, i think, to be able to feast one's eyes upon such purity levels of precious metals. I am very much into the idea of trying to refine silver and gold to atomic purity. . .or at least as close as possible. I wonder, it would be a lot of overkill, but can you start with good grade gold, en-quart it, dissolve and refine it chemically, cement it out, clean it, melt it, turn it to shot, put it through an electrolytic cell, take that crystal and do the whole process again...? It would be overboard, i know.... I am just wondering what is the absolute maximum level of purity possible to achieve? Maybe make it a month or two - long project...?

[@sreetips]

Possibly, but at that level of purity the only way to tell is with a chemical assay. It would not take much to ruin five down to three nines. And three nines is industry standard. Anything beyond that is splitting hairs.

[@alexej01]

I'm confused now. Isn't it logical that there's copper in solution, after you used copper to cement out the silver? And you didn't add DMG to the solution, so you didn't actually test for nickel in the solution.

[@jdrains16]

alexej davidov that was my thought. The copper replaced the silver (and anything else above it) in the solution when it cemented out.

[@kevinmichaelbergman8276]

Niobium is an eliment I find in the Water Gallium as well these Metals can be consintrated with my Technology the price reduced about the time I had a bunch of it lol.

[@kevinmichaelbergman8276]

Silver won't be high in my product as it precipitates with the added Chlorene from the City Water plant which also reduces Led and Mercury although there is still some in Trace amounts.

[@miriel2011]

Sreetips, of course you have Copper in solution, you put it there! If you cemented silver as Cu + AgNO3 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2, of course you have Cu2+ in solution, and when you add ammonia forms the dark blue complex (Cu(NO3))4(2+). If you keep adding ammonia it forms the light blue solid Cu(OH)2. You should have added the DMG anyway to see any change of color, I too suspect that you had Nickel in that solution. You could also have had Fe3+ (yellow), which combined with the blue of Cu(NO3)2 can give you the observed dark green...

[@sreetips]

I did a test for iron off camera with ammonium thiocyanate it was negative. Turned black instead of red.

[@xmachine7003]

[@crackrokmccaib]

Geez. It looked like 10 ozt in that beaker. I'm plum surprised.

[@turretbarrage2707]

some other channels I watch throw away so much good stuff and keep just the gold, and others make some nicely shaped ingots & coins, I'm sure you'd get tons out of their waste.

[@chucklotro8749]

The copper contamination at 21:55 this is what I asked about many many videos ago. H2SO4 treatment got it!

[@drinventions9742]

You can still confirm your test for nickel in solution even though their is copper in solution,, you take a sample, add the ammonia until no more copper precipitate forms,, filter sample solution then add DMG ,, you will still have residual blue from copper but you WILL see and obvious color change with the pink ,, I have the Hoke Book and knew for a fact I had nickel in solution, so I improvised and that’s the result I got

[@jasonjack5915]

I would like to share what I use as silver testing solution, I am not sure if you know already or not but the 18k testing solution is great, scratch any purity silver on scratch stone and see what happens! I dont use much shwerters any more unless i want to gauge the purity.

[@sreetips]

Schwerters was learnt to me by Harold_V on the goldrefiningforum.com

[@15secofFame]

Please correct me if I wrong, but you can also precipitate the copper back out of the solution by adding steal

[@sreetips]

You can get it on iron

Collidal gold is something else someone used collidal gold for jewlery its 24 kt gold tho they say theres no 24kt gold in nature but collidal gold is 24kt hard to extract hard to get clean it contains lots of silver cloride you have to figure out how to get the silver cloride out of it cause if not it wont melt thats what the pop was is the collidal gold sir its almost impossible to melt cause of the silver cloride and its hard to to clean up but its got 50 50 gold and silver some contain palladuim or platinuim out of nature but some one EXTRACTED colloidal to make that jewlery screetips im just trying to help you out a lil im not the sharpest tool in the shed but i do my share of experiments great job guy you concord it tho

[@Zeke-id2bo]

If there was palladium in solution, wouldn't it have dropped out with the silver when you had the copper in it?

Yes

[@richardarmstrong3rd53]

@Sreetips is there any way you can drop the copper out of solution by adding another chemical? And If so what chemicals would it take?

[@sreetips]

I think sodium hydroxide will do it.

[@walthodgson5780]

How would one go about removing the copper?

[@luisillo3511]

If you are talking about removing the copper from the final piece, you can do several things. Electrorefine( I think it's written like that) the silver, like sreetips does with his silver cristal, or dissolve it with nitric acid and precipitate the silver as silver chloride, using NaCl or hydrochloric acid. The copper won't precipitate with the chloride, so you will remove it there.

[@scottmcdonald1022]

Why the funnel and folded filter..? Usually you use the vacuum pump?

[@sreetips]

Gravity for metals in the filter. Vacuum for metals in the solution

[@scottmcdonald1022]

sreetips makes sense. Your videos are great! I watch them every day, I musta watched the 3 part weighted/flatware/jewelry refining like 10 times through. I’m def going to try it. Be safe man🇺🇸

[@johnh8615]

Start drying out all your waste treatment and put it in a furnace to show us what metals(colourful stuff you have) left.🪓💰💰💰

[@christofour217]

Did you add any silver crystal to it? I don't see any on the listing.

[@TheKrzy65siek]

Wasn't it obvious the copper in solution? You are cementing silver with copper, that means copper going into solution...

[@johnh8615]

Not really, green in solution generally means pgmetals. I’ve been watching for a while and this is a first for me. Glad he worked it out. Love watching the master at work. Will do for, a lot of time in my future. Keep them coming mate.

[@TheKrzy65siek]

@@johnh8615 Do I understand silver cementing wrong? Silver ions in solution are replaced by copper ions. Aren't they?

[@bormisha]

The same occurred to me too. But there probably was something besides copper, for the solution to be so dark. I wonder what it was.

[@ursamines7643]

According to the reactivity series of metals, copper would have cemented out all gold and PGMs with the silver. Right? So why the need for additional testing ?

[@sreetips]

I suspected nickel

[@ursamines7643]

sreetips I was more questioning the testing for palladium...

[@TheGh0stShip]

Don’t you ever worry your watch will get exposed to chemical vapors or liquids and corrode or degrade?

[@TheGh0stShip]

sreetips Oh nice! I wonder if there is actual loss of material over time just being exposed to vapors from various acids. I know the OIF bracelet I wear is over 10 years old and has a lot of material missing from it just from time.

[@alexandrebaccega5311]

[@SilverMac47]

I get the same green solution every time I clean someone’s shop sweeps they send me. It always tests as copper. Put it through the filter and it turns blue for me as well Very strange indeed 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@larryharris6998]

I've had that as well only thing I can guess is the fine silver particulate that is staying suspended along with the light gives a green color. I have added more water by 50% and put a bubbler in for an hour sand let sit overnight and it was almost perfectly blue the next day

[@angelooldman7201]

to anybody what is the best way to denox aqua rigia?what work the best?

[@sreetips]

For gold I’ve used one of two methods to denox. Classic method is to evaporate the solution down to a syrup then rehydrate with hydrochloric acid over and over until no more red fumes evolve. Or, use incremental nitric dosing adding just enough nitric to just dissolve the gold - takes longer but then there won’t be a need to denox because there won’t be any excess nitric to remove. I prefer incremental nitric dosing.

[@drinventions9742]

You really need to redissovle that puck,, that metal is contaminated with Platinum Group Metals,, that’s why the cement silver was so dark,, SIR YOU SHOWED THIS VERY THING in a old video back before you added audio if I remember right

I don't think he's wrong in saying "freezing". Elements have a freezing point, a melting point, and vapor/ gas/ sublimation point. Just because something is frozen doesn't mean its cold

It's still freezing. You're just used to the affiliation with water and its temperature.
