    Bro, I gotta give you props. You just spent a ton of time recovering less than a third of an ounce of gold because it would have been a waste of money to let it go, but you didn't break the 40 minute video down into parts to capitalize on the UA-cam revenue. Because you know we would have all watched 2-4 videos of this as a series. Good man.

    These videos where you recover metals from dirty sources a careless refiner might throw away are some of my favorites. I love the more basic ones too of course, like the last one with the catches, they refresh the memory and it's always a treat to watch gold solutions get clearer and clearer and then watch that high purity gold powder coalesce. I don't thank you nearly often enough for all this cool work you're sharing with us.
    You should be commanded for carrying that heavy looking microphone contraption on your head for hours on end alone. I've been thinking that a Zoom F2 recorder (no clipping ever thanks to 32-bit float recording magic) with a proximity omnidirectional lavalier microphone like the AT803 could be the perfect audio set up for you. It's not exactly cheap, but it's amazing hardware. I believe that you like to sync up the audio and video in real time directly in your phone as you film in order to save time in the editing room though and that isn't possible (as far as I know) with the Zoom F2 unfortunately.

      @@sreetips I suggest that when you are filtering the results of your aqua region boil it would be better to avoid adding the solids in to the filter - repeatedly rinse the residues in the beaker until the solution runs clear. This is easier than rinsing and stirring the solids once they have been added to the filter funnel and you avoid the risk of ripping the paper.

    Some people may look at these yields and be disappointed but I see it as the filtering process you use works very well. Ideally there shouldn't be anything there to recover so the less there is the better you've done the earlier stuff.
    But it reminds of the last few batches I've done over the last 3 weeks. I did some filters and I did another stockpot cleaning. The filters had almost no gold and only a few grams of silver, and I was good with that. After I siphoned off the copper rich liquor from the stockpot and into one with an old brake rotor in it I let it sit until no more copper came out of solution (at least 3 months). I've been recovering the copper mostly out of personal interest and curiosity and I've made a small copper electro cell. With this last stockpot I melted all the slimes and copper together and poured it as an anode bar. When I ran that through the cell there was a surprising amount of black dust building up on the bottoms of the cell. It was super rich in gold and PGMs which told me that there could be a lot left in that bucket after the copper appears to stop working. Testing the first stage in the stockpot showed no precious metals in solution but they sure came out on the iron. The copper from the cell is just going to go back to cementing silver.
    When I incinerated the filters I was shocked with a very sudden flare up and flash. I'm guessing that there were some filters in there that I had used when I recovered the KNO3 from my nitrate solutions. They provided a nice hit of O2 at the wrong moment. Whole yard smelled like fireworks for an hour. :)

    Great video! If I may have 2 recommendations to make your filtering much faster. You can use a plastic door mash cut out exactly to fit in between your filter paper and your funnel that will create More air flow. You can also use diatomite filtering media On top of your filtering paper so it does not clog up fast. You can also use fiberglass filtering paper to filter your gold at the end of your process so you end up with very dry Material with fiberglass filter paper that you can melt together. I enjoy your videos very much keep up the good work!

    That's quite a collection of particles that didn't go through the screening process! Might be worth getting a coffee grinder to chop it up into little bits. They're super cheap. The coarse material will probably blunt the blades fairly quickly but they'd chop it all up into a finely divided state and any iron filings from the blades would be easily removable with a neodymium magnet.

    i think you could have simplified the step in which you rinse the solids to get the dissolved gold out, which you stated gives diminishing returns, and also get much more out of those solids.
    rather than washing the solids while still in the filter paper, you could just dump the solids into a beaker with distilled water, stirred a bunch, let the solids settle, and then decant the beaker into the one containing your gold solution, and THEN filter the solids 1 more time, and you wont need to struggle with washing under vacuum and diminishing returns at all.

    Good evening Mr Sreetips, a little south from our friend David below 😊 QQ if you don't mind. Just as disclaimer, the volumes you process are exponentially higher than mine.
    I am pouring my recovered Silver to 300g and 700g bars for optimization reasons, in my case filter papers and detricts (ruble from placer gold or gold filled scrap) really make a difference for me.
    I always process Silver apart from anything else, even as stock pot I have one for Silver waste only.
    The thing is, the material I process for gold always carry Silver that ends up in the form of Silver Cloride mixed up with detricts, droppings and rejects.
    At the end of the day, burn after burn, filtration after filtrstion, filtering after filtering all is left is carbonized plastic and organic material, several forms of dirt, and sundry trash detricts. The issue I learned is, if I accumulate this dirt black goo, it will contain reasonable amount of Silver Cloride.
    I once ran lye and sugar on the goo with acceptable but unjustifiable results because of the further rework of.the recovered cement Siver.
    From the metalurgic books from college that have been useful for me when messaging different alloys for my metal bars collection, there is a whole annex dedicated to "the solubility of Silver Cloride".
    Have you ever even have a slight thought about the Silver Cloride that likely just go to trash or for you it is unworthy to waste time since you already process ~60Kg of the purest Silver crystals in the world.
    Today while refining Silver filter papers, spilled Silver blobs from poring or smelting, e waste Silber, etc (I needed slightly over 100g of Silver of pour my last 700g bar).
    At the end I recovered ~20g of Silver from the goo, slag, and droos. It is relevant for me (the chemicals needed to separate Silver from the contaminated Silver Cloride is cheap.
    Wonder if you ever care for those.
    Cheers mate!!!!! Filter paper and stock pot defining are my faces by far.

    I absolutely 100% agree Science is Awesome . And I also think it so amazing how the silver reacts to the copper as soon you put it in .

    after collecting alot of the refining residue, id suggest either burning it completely or using piranha solution on it to remove all of the carbon, it appears it carries 90% carbon after all. it would definetly help with refinment

    Need some of those larger paper bags they have for leaves at some hardware stores or boxes you can fit a plastic bag around. While it probably doesn't amount to much, looks like there were some material that dropped off or blew away.

    Sreetips supposed to do yard work, ends up refining. I could see that being an common occurrence in the Sreetips household :)
    Love your videos.

      He can't seem to ever be able to resist putting the wood he cuts in his yard to good use burning some metal bearing material that needs incinerating. He did it the last time already when he cut down a tree. It's nice, might as well use carbon his yard extracted from the atmosphere than carbon fetched deep underground by energy companies. :)

    I love watching the skill, if you remember someone said weeks back next, he will be showing us how half ounce of gold could be extracted from the filters. lol you ask he showed you how

    thats awesome most people would of thrown those filters away and not even think about it I didn't think you was going to get that much gold out of them and thats not even counting whatever else you get out of them silver , ect God bless you and your family my friend

      Only the clueless would throw away those materials.
      I worked in the check lab for a world scale gold company doing fire assay analysis for 8 hours a day, day in, day out on 30 g ground rock samples.
      We’d inquart whatever gold was in the rock with 10ml of 0.1M AgNO3.
      After cupellation, we’d hit the dire bead with HNO3.
      We’d get several mg of gold, that we’d weigh record and then dump into a receiving vial.
      We had to run the samples anyway, so why not keep the gold. It’d take years to gather an ounce. No rush.
      And we’d recover the inquarted Ag as the chloride.
      No valuable metals went to the drain.

    Thank you for sharing such an interesting video. I understand refining precious metals involves lots of things and it take a lot of time. But you’re doing it patiently for us. And, that makes me not to complain about length of your videos. In reality long videos help us to get more knowledge what could have been skipped in short videos.
    Just a suggestion if you can also perform purity test after recovering the metals. 🙏🙏

    Also does anyone know how one would remove gold plaited items with every day household chemicals or is there a way to use KNO3 potassium nitrate!

    I have been watching your videos for a while now and am inspired to try silver refining myself. I'm curious whether your videos are for demonstration purposes only or do you do larger quantities off camera? I'm curious about how much is a reasonable amount to do at a time.

    • @sreetips

      Sean, I only have the one silver cell. I’ve got everything to set up a second. Plan on making a video of it. Just need to make it happen.
