As a chemist AND metallurgist, I can tell you with 100% certainty, that bar needed a much higher melt temperature, the mold and crucible were very dirty, and the pieces that went into it needed cleaning with nitric acid. I am surprised it was even 52% purity. It is SO much easier to chemically clean those pieces when they are small.

[@MrBlue-dm5li]

Yeah, that was some dirty a.. ‘gold’.

[@springjason1201]

I thought they was pretty sloppy as well I am a small time refiner using chemicals ida done things differently but thats just me

[@didgorirising8553]

It definitely looked dirty ah. But still cool

[@SassyOnline]

Facts, it seems they don't melt like this very often. I'm sure he's aware of this, considering he did put a printed off comment into the crucible XD. They clearly weren't concerned with how pure it was. Yeh there's a LOT of slag in that crucible man damnn.

[@MrMemes-ms7gn]

True...that was the ugliest Bar i have ever seen...it feeled like "idc how it looks, send it"

[@CageofTheRib]

I've become addicted to your gold and silver videos. Just enough teaching just enough bling just enough jazz talking. Perfect good sir

[@therealExmo]

Hey Trax ..no other gold business is showing us behind the scenes like this I love the process of scraping leftovers and I appreciate you and Danny for allowing us to enjoy this journey also teaching us the true facts about gold. When I save enough money I'll buy from you someday.

How testing independent what gold it’s

[@2esquared]

I work in the industry and what still astounds me every time is how quickly molten gold goes from 1064°C when dipped in water to cold enough that you can pick it up in your bare hands. I've never timed it but I guess ..... maybe 90 seconds.

[@A_Simple_Slug]

😂😂😂 I'll take that cash. that POS bar isn't even remotely close to pure. it's a really pathetic melt and cast with no slag removal and varying karat pieces that may be alloys and contain impurities and oxidation. Clown bar 🤡

being honest and educating the next generation of potential buyers not only increases your sells and gets rid of the dishonest sellers that compete, but makes more people want to buy jewelry and gold.

I like how this guy exposes the shady parts of the jewelry industry, kudos to you sir! You really put the emphasis on the saying that "not all that glitters is gold".. there are a ton of crooks out there cheating customers out of their money. Buying jewelry isn't just to show off that u have cash, but its a financial investment.

But question- is there any affect to the diamonds? We all know that there is something called “ heated process” with diamonds,, temperature here is higher than 1400*C so I assume that are some changes on diamond structure

[@mayhembeading3737]

I had a family heirloom ring- ca 1869, 2 carat in platinum. It was in a house that burned to the ground approx 1915. This was before fire-retardants existed, and most homes were filled with hardwoods (structures/furnishings) and burned extremely hot. This ring had to be re-cast from sketches, I don't think the platinum survived, but the diamonds (5 European cut, 2c's) DID. Once the ashes had cooled my husband's great great great grandfather took the employees, who worked for him, to the site. The men sifted through the ashes and found the diamonds. They were completely unharmed by the fire.

[@2esquared]
