Be advised, silver will remain grossly undervalued as long as they can print currency out of thin air, and people believe it has value. My philosophy is to just keep buying (without regard to reselling it) put it away, and forget about it.
@@sreetips It is such a hassle to get physical sliver, I can't imagine parting with any until I develop some need for it. But it sure is nice knowing I have some set aside for 20-30 years in the future. It is hard to imagine anything else lasting that long.
I just read the entire Bible cover to cover. Gold and silver were mentioned over two hundred times. What this means to me is that long after paper dollars, Amazon, Apple and bitcoin are gone and forgotten, gold and silver will still be here. And they’ll still be valuable.

People watching this really need to factor in the whole cost of this setup and operation. This is a hobby, a demo of metallurgical principles, not a money maker. Precious metals are a regulated commodity. This isn't a get rich venture.
I use currency (paper dollars) to make real money: gold and silver. Paper dollars aren’t money. They are a money substitute and need third party validation to give them value. Take away the third party and the currency goes to zero. A good example would be confederate currency printed during the civil war. Not so with gold and silver. They stand on their own and require no third party validation. Because gold and silver are real money, since biblical times, and before. Paper currencies have a 100% failure rate. This can be fact checked and verified. It’s a mathematical certainty.

You should keep the cement silver in that state, and hilariously, store it in empty "cement bags". Since it appears like cement and is heavy, thieves might bypass it.
Because they don’t need to do it. They just print more money. If we need money to buy something or pay a bill, then we must either work to earn it or sell something to raise the capital needed to pay the expense. If they need more they just print it, out of thin air. You end up paying because printing money (inflation) causes higher prices. So they print, you pay higher prices. It’s a scam. Makes Bernie Madoff Ponzi look like a Sunday picnic.
Hi Streetips! I never get tired of watching your videos. Thank you so much. And as always I am a huge fan. I do have a question, your stirring rods. They are extremely tough, where would one find them?
2:01 love the silver statement about undervalued. There is a large fund company I will not name, that holds a large portion of silver that is keeping the value low for some reason.
Coinage act 1965 Then president Johnson said this back in 1965 (quote begins here), "If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this. Treasury has a lot of silver on hand, and it can be, and it will be used to keep the price of silver in line with its value in our present silver coin. There will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content." (End of Johnson quote.) Today they don't even need physical silver. They can just conjure millions of ounces in the form of paper futures contracts and sell as much “paper silver" as needed to artificially suppress the price of both gold and silver. So, anyone who thinks that governments can't or won't manipulate gold and silver markets are just fooling themselves. We should seize this opportunity to buy as much silver as we can while the price is so grossly undervalued. I know that I am.
But President Johnson was wrong. U.S. minted 90% silver coins have had a spectacular rise since 1965. A silver quarter, worth twenty five cents back then, now carries a value (measured in dollars) of $5.32 - a 2128% increase since he made those remarks. Manipulation always works, for a while. But it never lasts. It too, always fails with 100% accuracy. So what to do? I’m converting my currency into metals just as fast as possible. Before they lose control and the metals skyrocket. That’s a mathematical certainly also.
It can, but it’s not recommended. Karat gold contained platinum group metals. Using cement silver to inquart would cause the PGMs to build up in the cement silver. And this could cause problems in the silver cell.
I have some questions about the fume guard and exhaust system. I’m curious about the process of exhausting the noxious fumes and where they go. Are they expelled into the exterior atmosphere.? Is there any filtering or sequestration of the fumes? Are the gases expelled considered a pollutant? And does it pose any potential harm to humans, pets, wildlife? I’m genuinely interested in the answers. I have no attachment to any particular answer to these questions.
There’s no filter. It exhausts into the outside air. Just think of it like this: you wouldn’t pull your car into the garage, shut the door, then start the car to work on it in an enclosed space. If you did, then the exhaust fumes would kill you. The same applies with the fumes from my refining processes. I’m not a professional refiner. I don’t work on other people’s material. This is my hobby. Driving your car for a hundred miles does far worse damage to the air than my occasional chemistry experiments. Hope this answers your questions.
@@sreetips I thought you were a goldsmith. So the carbon filter in the mask won't protect my health from acid fumes? It's also my hobby but I want to set up a business to get into acids. I admire your great work.
Doing this as a business is a whole different animal. You’ll have a ton of regulations to abide by. I don’t know anything about it. You could check on the goldrefiningforum.com they have professional refiners with tons of experience refining as a profession. But be careful. There’s also folks on there who sound like they know what they’re talking about, but they really don’t.
I have a question about how to sell (homemade) pure silver in a situation of need. I've noticed that especially in the US so called "silver rounds" are very popular. Since pretty much every person and buisness is allowed to produce them I count them as "third party fine silver products", wich includes all kinds of privately manufactured fine silver products. The problem is that in my country aswell as many other parts of Europe it is very hard to sell such products for spot value or even close to that price. Only fine silver coins produced by certain government-owned mints and bars produced by LBMA-certified manufacturers can be traded close to spot price. All other kinds of pure silver are treated as scrap wich needs to get re-refined. That means you will get 80 to 85% of spot price maximum for any kind of privately refined or minted fine silver products just because they are not certified by a certain authority. Does this apply anywhere else or is this devaluation of certain pure silver products just a "European problem"?
It’s everywhere. But your first mistake, I believe, is counting silver as an investment. Gold and silver are NOT investments. They are real money. Paper currency is a money substitute. And declining rapidly. I hold my silver as savings. I have no paper dollars in my savings account. But you can’t spend it. So if I need some paper to pay bills or buy food, then I just sell a little of my metals. They (the currency printers) have convinced the world that gold and silver (especially silver) are not worth holding because they don’t go up in value. They want you in their paper. If you reject holding their paper, and convert it into real money (gold and silver) then they lose their ability to control and rob you by printing currency out of thin are. Every new note that gets printed into existence, destroys the value of every note that’s already in existence, in your pocket, or in your bank account. They have the ability to keep the silver price low. A large paper futures market exists that enables them (the currency printers) to easily and conveniently control the price, and therefore the demand, for physical gold and silver. And that’s why the spot price can’t move up. They kill it with paper silver! This is public knowledge and can be verified. They crush the inflation hedge, with more inflation. It’s brilliant. And the public never takes the time to study any of it. And this lack of understanding is what allows them to pull it off. So don’t worry about trying to resell your silver. Put it away, and forget about it. Then buy some more, and do the same with it.
Love watching your content. Here is a video idea. "If I was just starting in precious metals refining" (This is what I would need as a bare minimum) I know you could spend $10K or more to get set up, but could a hobbiest get started with less? Might have to have 5 gallon buckets of material for further refinement once we get further into the hobby..
Man, if you could make a complete video for someone starting from level 0, with no equipment, no materials, no nothing. All the way up to having your entire setup for the silver cell, that would be awesome! I know you have a bunch of videos talking about it, but my attention span needs one entire complete timeline hahahahaha! I would even be down to pay you directly for a complete walkthrough, if you're interested
Cathode, Anode. Helps me to think of it as the electrons ( - ) travel down to the bowl/cathode and into the solution. The shot/anode gets charged positive, and starts pulling electrons off the silver shot. The voltage difference makes a nucleus ( + )of the silver atoms tear out from the shot and into the solution. Those silver atoms want to be stable again, so they keep going towards negative until they deposit out on the - charged wall of the cell.
It won't matter. If silver it'll move through the basket and attach to the bowl. If not silver it'll just remain in the basket and get run with the slime.
Thanks Buddy, I agree. I am a Christian and know that things are controlled against the majority. However, a bit of boxing clever could save a few quid for you and yours, me and mine. Stock market is shaky. Could be sensible to put a couple of hundred quid in metals. Thank you for your advice but above all wonderful chemistry lessons. If you look me up, I’m a fan! All the best buddy, Simon
At least this guy shows his strerling silver he refines. But to those who think you can make Gold or siver from nothing your wrong! You can only refine you cannot make gold or silver from thin air!
Hey Sreetips, I've wondered, would you ever consider sending out some of your cement silver for others to run their own silver cells, then they send you back the silver crystal. Just was thinking of an option to help get through them bucket loads of it? I know personally id love to give that a try!
Jason is a miner. I don’t think he wants to get involved in refining that much. His channel is awesome. I’d like to pay him a visit someday and do a collaboration with him.
I agree with you 100% as I'm a gold miner my entire life! Fiat$$$ is worthless ..Bit coin is just as worthless only precious metals or industrial metals worth a damn. Even copper pennies at least you can melt or pound into a fishing lure or braclet for a medium of exchange or catch yourself dinner!
Morning Mr Sreetips. What if you made your silver cell taller and have it so that the crystals will grow horizontally and when they get too long they will break and fall to the bottom of the cell allowing for more Crystal growth
Critical distance between anode basket and the cathode of 4 inches to 4.5 inches. Any closer and the silver may contact the anode basket, burn a hole in the filter, and ruin the batch of silver. Any further away and efficiency is reduced - it slows down the electrolytic action and takes more time to convert the impure silver to high purity silver crystal.
My friend another great video. This stuff is amazing and to think this is ancient science. Your channel but I see others. Refine gold out in wild. How is silver done from it's host rock. And are we fishing right over valuable rocks 😂❤. Love the channel pardner. 😂
@@sreetips we know how much silver you have in the electrolyte per liter, but do you weigh the silver shot before adding it to the cell? How much total silver goes into growing 4 kilos of high-purity silver?
@@skinnywheelz the impure silver shot is probably 98% pure silver, plus or minus a percent. So, for every 100 grams of 98% impure silver that I add to the anode basket, I’ll expect to harvest 98 grams of high purity silver crystal from the cell.
Do you ever try to recover the nitric acid? When i used to do this i distilled the excess nitric to reuse it as it was sort of expensive. Also inquirted with copoer then used copper sulfate in a cell similar to your silver cell to pull the copper and other base metals out. The PMs some lead and antomony stayed in the filter basket, copper and nickel plated out on the cathode
I usually consume every bit of nitric possible by boiling in the presence of metallic sterling silver until no more fumes are being produced. Recovering used copper for re-use would cost more than just buying clean copper for refining. It’s cheap and plentiful.
I noticed a Silver chain was in your In-pure silver shot container when you were spooning it into your silver cell. The chain made it into the cell. Was this intentional?
I have to wonder if there's a way to more continuously feed the impure silver shot into the cell... then again you have to harvest relatively often, I guess daily maintenance isn't that much to ask
I just checked it. With the small retainer insert that I added to the anode filter basket installed, I can add enough impure silver to let it run in auto-pilot for several days.
@@sreetips With how much cement silver you've got, it might be interesting to make a basket that runs one full cycle on auto-pilot. That should provide you with a decent visual indicator of completeness if you end up running more than a couple cells at once. Make the electrolyte, assemble the filter basket, fill basket and start cell, when the basket runs low harvest the cell. I wonder what size of cell you'd need before you can't get 2 runs out of them before needing fresh electrolyte...
I've seen your setup a hundred times and I never tire of listening to you explain it again. So glad to see you back.
I can't wait for the paper waste video. It's exciting because you never know what you are going to get.

You are amazing. Have no clue how you do any of that and am curious why the government doesn’t do it.
Because they don’t need to do it. They just print more money. If we need money to buy something or pay a bill, then we must either work to earn it or sell something to raise the capital needed to pay the expense. If they need more they just print it, out of thin air. You end up paying because printing money (inflation) causes higher prices. So they print, you pay higher prices. It’s a scam. Makes Bernie Madoff Ponzi look like a Sunday picnic.
Hi Streetips! I never get tired of watching your videos. Thank you so much. And as always I am a huge fan. I do have a question, your stirring rods. They are extremely tough, where would one find them?
I bought mine on eBay.
2:01 love the silver statement about undervalued. There is a large fund company I will not name, that holds a large portion of silver that is keeping the value low for some reason.
Coinage act 1965
Then president Johnson said this back in 1965 (quote begins here), "If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this. Treasury has a lot of silver on hand, and it can be, and it will be used to keep the price of silver in line with its value in our present silver coin. There will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content." (End of Johnson quote.) Today they don't even need physical silver. They can just conjure millions of ounces in the form of paper futures contracts and sell as much “paper silver" as needed to artificially suppress the price of both gold and silver. So, anyone who thinks that governments can't or won't manipulate gold and silver markets are just fooling themselves. We should seize this opportunity to buy as much silver as we can while the price is so grossly undervalued. I know that I am.
@@sreetips wise as always. Thank you!
But President Johnson was wrong. U.S. minted 90% silver coins have had a spectacular rise since 1965. A silver quarter, worth twenty five cents back then, now carries a value (measured in dollars) of $5.32 - a 2128% increase since he made those remarks. Manipulation always works, for a while. But it never lasts. It too, always fails with 100% accuracy. So what to do? I’m converting my currency into metals just as fast as possible. Before they lose control and the metals skyrocket. That’s a mathematical certainly also.
Morning Sreetips, just a heads up, I found the dacron filters on Amazon 3 for 14 bucks.
Yes, I’ve bought those before. Plus the Dacron material can be bought in bulk.
Can you use the cement silver to encourt gold instead of Sterling? Or is there more you’d have to do to it?
It can, but it’s not recommended. Karat gold contained platinum group metals. Using cement silver to inquart would cause the PGMs to build up in the cement silver. And this could cause problems in the silver cell.
I have some questions about the fume guard and exhaust system. I’m curious about the process of exhausting the noxious fumes and where they go. Are they expelled into the exterior atmosphere.? Is there any filtering or sequestration of the fumes? Are the gases expelled considered a pollutant? And does it pose any potential harm to humans, pets, wildlife? I’m genuinely interested in the answers. I have no attachment to any particular answer to these questions.
Odsávání par je přes uhlíkový filtr, který páry zbaví toxicity.
There’s no filter. It exhausts into the outside air. Just think of it like this: you wouldn’t pull your car into the garage, shut the door, then start the car to work on it in an enclosed space. If you did, then the exhaust fumes would kill you. The same applies with the fumes from my refining processes. I’m not a professional refiner. I don’t work on other people’s material. This is my hobby. Driving your car for a hundred miles does far worse damage to the air than my occasional chemistry experiments. Hope this answers your questions.
Nepoužívám filtr, protože nejsem firma. to je můj koníček.
@@sreetips I thought you were a goldsmith. So the carbon filter in the mask won't protect my health from acid fumes? It's also my hobby but I want to set up a business to get into acids.
I admire your great work.
Doing this as a business is a whole different animal. You’ll have a ton of regulations to abide by. I don’t know anything about it. You could check on the goldrefiningforum.com they have professional refiners with tons of experience refining as a profession. But be careful. There’s also folks on there who sound like they know what they’re talking about, but they really don’t.
I have a question about how to sell (homemade) pure silver in a situation of need.
I've noticed that especially in the US so called "silver rounds" are very popular. Since pretty much every person and buisness is allowed to produce them I count them as "third party fine silver products", wich includes all kinds of privately manufactured fine silver products.
The problem is that in my country aswell as many other parts of Europe it is very hard to sell such products for spot value or even close to that price. Only fine silver coins produced by certain government-owned mints and bars produced by LBMA-certified manufacturers can be traded close to spot price. All other kinds of pure silver are treated as scrap wich needs to get re-refined. That means you will get 80 to 85% of spot price maximum for any kind of privately refined or minted fine silver products just because they are not certified by a certain authority.
Does this apply anywhere else or is this devaluation of certain pure silver products just a "European problem"?
It’s everywhere. But your first mistake, I believe, is counting silver as an investment. Gold and silver are NOT investments. They are real money. Paper currency is a money substitute. And declining rapidly. I hold my silver as savings. I have no paper dollars in my savings account. But you can’t spend it. So if I need some paper to pay bills or buy food, then I just sell a little of my metals. They (the currency printers) have convinced the world that gold and silver (especially silver) are not worth holding because they don’t go up in value. They want you in their paper. If you reject holding their paper, and convert it into real money (gold and silver) then they lose their ability to control and rob you by printing currency out of thin are. Every new note that gets printed into existence, destroys the value of every note that’s already in existence, in your pocket, or in your bank account. They have the ability to keep the silver price low. A large paper futures market exists that enables them (the currency printers) to easily and conveniently control the price, and therefore the demand, for physical gold and silver. And that’s why the spot price can’t move up. They kill it with paper silver! This is public knowledge and can be verified. They crush the inflation hedge, with more inflation. It’s brilliant. And the public never takes the time to study any of it. And this lack of understanding is what allows them to pull it off. So don’t worry about trying to resell your silver. Put it away, and forget about it. Then buy some more, and do the same with it.
Thank you Sreetip
hell yeah. none of this would be possible without the Sreetips Signature Food Lion Distilled Water. hell yeah man
Food Lion is the closest,
I swear to god you're a magician.
Love watching your content. Here is a video idea. "If I was just starting in precious metals refining" (This is what I would need as a bare minimum) I know you could spend $10K or more to get set up, but could a hobbiest get started with less? Might have to have 5 gallon buckets of material for further refinement once we get further into the hobby..
No1🎉
Man, if you could make a complete video for someone starting from level 0, with no equipment, no materials, no nothing. All the way up to having your entire setup for the silver cell, that would be awesome! I know you have a bunch of videos talking about it, but my attention span needs one entire complete timeline hahahahaha!
I would even be down to pay you directly for a complete walkthrough, if you're interested
I have a video titled “Silver Cell Build From Scratch Step by Step” posted on my channel.
@@sreetips awesome I will look for it! Thank you!
Sounds interesting keep on teaching God bless you❤
Streetips has more silver than I have ever seen owned by 1 person. I own only 750 ozs of silver, 1 oz platinum, and 24 ozs of gold.
Precious metal dealers hate this one simple trick! 😂
Sounds like you need to be running a few silver cells 😊
Cathode, Anode. Helps me to think of it as the electrons ( - ) travel down to the bowl/cathode and into the solution. The shot/anode gets charged positive, and starts pulling electrons off the silver shot. The voltage difference makes a nucleus ( + )of the silver atoms tear out from the shot and into the solution. Those silver atoms want to be stable again, so they keep going towards negative until they deposit out on the - charged wall of the cell.
Excellent analysis.
18:16 and the copper, and anything higher in reactivity (zinc, iron, etc.)
You have upgraded! Thats a much bigger setup than your old cell, do you still run the old cell too?
I can, but I didn’t set it up.
Anyone else see the necklace at 13:01 hope it doesn’t contaminate the batch…
It won't matter. If silver it'll move through the basket and attach to the bowl. If not silver it'll just remain in the basket and get run with the slime.
✋🖐🤚👋🖖😄 Oo. Oo. Oo. Mr. Caniblesavages! I saw it!
I seen it, it’s perfectly ok. It’s too small to make a big difference.
Was about to comment on it as well.
Thanks Buddy, I agree. I am a Christian and know that things are controlled against the majority. However, a bit of boxing clever could save a few quid for you and yours, me and mine. Stock market is shaky. Could be sensible to put a couple of hundred quid in metals. Thank you for your advice but above all wonderful chemistry lessons. If you look me up, I’m a fan! All the best buddy, Simon
Thanks Simon
At least this guy shows his strerling silver he refines.
But to those who think you can make Gold or siver from nothing your wrong!
You can only refine you cannot make gold or silver from thin air!
And that’s why my savings are in precious metals, not in stacks of paper currency, that can be printed out of thin air.
Good work team
Hey Sreetips, I've wondered, would you ever consider sending out some of your cement silver for others to run their own silver cells, then they send you back the silver crystal. Just was thinking of an option to help get through them bucket loads of it? I know personally id love to give that a try!
No, I’ve never thought of doing that.
I want a bag of silverware like that 😁
It’s out there. But you got to get up early and be there first. It won’t just fall in your lap.
btw I am a retired physical chemist, experienced in electrochemical reactions.
Nice, thank you for the input. I should harvest about four kilos of pure silver after about two weeks.
Gooood morning from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
Goooood evening!
I forget 🌺
Have a wonderful day🙏
@@Arne-ns2mw Neat to hear your kids are growing up and going to high school. That's great!
jason still needs a hand at this
Jason is a miner. I don’t think he wants to get involved in refining that much. His channel is awesome. I’d like to pay him a visit someday and do a collaboration with him.
I agree with you 100% as I'm a gold miner my entire life!
Fiat$$$ is worthless ..Bit coin is just as worthless only precious metals or industrial metals worth a damn.
Even copper pennies at least you can melt or pound into a fishing lure or braclet for a medium of exchange or catch yourself dinner!
At least with paper dollars you can use them to start a fire to keep warm.
Morning Mr Sreetips. What if you made your silver cell taller and have it so that the crystals will grow horizontally and when they get too long they will break and fall to the bottom of the cell allowing for more Crystal growth
Critical distance between anode basket and the cathode of 4 inches to 4.5 inches. Any closer and the silver may contact the anode basket, burn a hole in the filter, and ruin the batch of silver. Any further away and efficiency is reduced - it slows down the electrolytic action and takes more time to convert the impure silver to high purity silver crystal.
My friend another great video. This stuff is amazing and to think this is ancient science. Your channel but I see others. Refine gold out in wild. How is silver done from it's host rock. And are we fishing right over valuable rocks 😂❤. Love the channel pardner. 😂
I’ve never tried recovering silver from rock. All the silver I get is mostly sterling flatware or jewelry.
526 👍's up sreetips thank you for sharing 🤗
Beautiful
Any gueses on what the harvest will be?
Great video
Thanks for sharing!
I’m expecting at least four kilos of high purity silver.
@@sreetips we know how much silver you have in the electrolyte per liter, but do you weigh the silver shot before adding it to the cell? How much total silver goes into growing 4 kilos of high-purity silver?
@@skinnywheelz the impure silver shot is probably 98% pure silver, plus or minus a percent. So, for every 100 grams of 98% impure silver that I add to the anode basket, I’ll expect to harvest 98 grams of high purity silver crystal from the cell.
Do you ever try to recover the nitric acid? When i used to do this i distilled the excess nitric to reuse it as it was sort of expensive. Also inquirted with copoer then used copper sulfate in a cell similar to your silver cell to pull the copper and other base metals out. The PMs some lead and antomony stayed in the filter basket, copper and nickel plated out on the cathode
I usually consume every bit of nitric possible by boiling in the presence of metallic sterling silver until no more fumes are being produced. Recovering used copper for re-use would cost more than just buying clean copper for refining. It’s cheap and plentiful.
شغلك معدل وزين بس لو تسوي استخلاص من حجر المرو نكون ممنونين جدا منك
I don’t know how to extract from quartz.
I noticed a Silver chain was in your In-pure silver shot container when you were spooning it into your silver cell. The chain made it into the cell. Was this intentional?
Not really, didn’t notice until it was already in the basket. Doesn’t matter. Won’t hurt anything because it’s too small.
I have to wonder if there's a way to more continuously feed the impure silver shot into the cell... then again you have to harvest relatively often, I guess daily maintenance isn't that much to ask
I just checked it. With the small retainer insert that I added to the anode filter basket installed, I can add enough impure silver to let it run in auto-pilot for several days.
@@sreetips With how much cement silver you've got, it might be interesting to make a basket that runs one full cycle on auto-pilot. That should provide you with a decent visual indicator of completeness if you end up running more than a couple cells at once.
Make the electrolyte, assemble the filter basket, fill basket and start cell, when the basket runs low harvest the cell.
I wonder what size of cell you'd need before you can't get 2 runs out of them before needing fresh electrolyte...
Wait, Am I the only one who saw that silver chain mixed in with the impure shot?
No, I seen it as it fell in during editing. Won’t hurt anything.
