Sreetips: "I'm going to put my wedding ring in acid" Mrs. Sreetips runs in: "What do you think you are doing?? I can't leave you alone for 5 minutes!!" 🤣🤣🤣
That was my first reaction, too. He's been doing this long enough, though, that I'm sure she's learned to trust him. BTW, am I the only one that's seen her and thought he's batting out of his league? Lol!
OMG!!!!! this is absolutely amazing man.... The amount of science and chemistry is mind blowing. I don't just watch your vids, I literally study them and wrote down your steps .. I'm so happy for this channel, metal recovery is something I love. Thanks for teaching what you like to do and know. Seriously changing lives man really appreciate you
I remember I asked about the silver alloying process a long time ago and sree actually took time out and typed a response to me about it, I was pretty happy about that, I like how he takes time to really show and explain what he is doing and why. I wish we had more science classes like this in either k-12 or even college classes. On a side note, he is one brave man... Imagine if he got the reaction wrong while experimenting with his wedding ring. "I swear honey it got A LOT of views on youtube! Look I made you a pretty pink gold/silver lump..."
That is the best looking gold bar I have ever seen you pour!!! The ripples are beautiful, it's really good work! Thanks for the entertaining and informative videos!
Thanks for showing your craft. I’ve been collecting urban gold for 11 years, but haven’t got around to smelting it. Really like your S O2 gas refinement. Thank you so much for doing this.
You see a difference in the wedding band, and the 6K gold, the low Karat gold turned brown almost as soon as the nitric acid touched it, the band stayed golden yellow. Seen you do this a time or 2 before this. It is still amazing
Absolutely love seeing the real time colour changes with the SO2 precipitation. Can watch it a thousand times over and it never gets old. Cheers from down under 🍻
One of my favourite channels. Shout out to you sir from myself over in Wales UK and may God bless you and your family for providing us with a decent UA-cam channel.
Sreetips. this happens to be , in my opinion your best video thus far. it was so good on so many levels from the educational content and value to the management of time and the quality of videography the way you demonstrated the importance of inquartation , the precipitation of the gold using first the SMB and then showing a stunning SO2 precipitation and taking a Dustin from the comments on removing the gas tube when it went clear..just everything all around was spot on and you should definitely be proud that your videos continue to progress and get better just like everyone should strive to achieve.. Personal progression. really ,really good video! keep up the great work and thank you very much for the class on precious metal refining. You really hit this one right out of the park! 10 out of 10
As a teacher, I can easily see a first year university chemistry student doing this experiment. I wouldn't do this with high school kids though. It's too much of a liability, because too many uneducated Christian parents would complain that's it's voodoo/woke learning.
Sreetips, I remember the first time you used your wedding band as a demonstration for inquartation processes. Your wife is truly an angel and one of great faith. God bless you both. Your videos are such an educational and life lesson experience!
I think the inquartation has finally sunk in as long as you remember to melt the two metals together first. You said copper can be used as well, I'm going to assume the same 75% as you did with the sterling. Very informative and thank you Sreetips.
The experiment with your wedding ring was so kool. I love seeing the inquartations, precipitations and melts. SO2 gas precipitation is really stunning to see. Nice. 👍
Wow! Just wow! Just when I thought you couldn't amaze me any more. You have got the whole process down to a tee and it is hypnotic how the gold ends up so pure and beautiful, well done again sir!
We used to find gold in Goodwill jewelry jars all the time. But now we don’t even bother looking because, like you said, they’ve figured out how valuable GOLD really is. This trend will continue as people slowly turn away from printed paper notes, that have no value, and turn to the only true money: GOLD and silver. Then, we won’t be able to find it anymore.
My take is that quartering au with ag is ideal. The demonstration between carat au Vs cu in the hno3 solution was amazing. Note: The carat au was unaffected but the cu finely separated into solution. The inquartation of 25% au with 75% ag cast as shot then boiled in the hno3 H20 solution several times resulted in three 9's au. Quite frankly it becomes obvious that low carat au is cast fairly often so it must do well. That said, I'm left wondering if graphite pour cubes shaped like 14 mm chess pieces are available or if you would need to cast using other methods. Probably 24 k kings, 18 k queen's, 14 k knights and bishops, and 10 k rooks would be interesting. Adding gems would be really fun. Cheers,✌️♥️👍 Kudos to the Mrs.'s
Seeing that pile of mud in the crucible gave me the idea on how to safely store large amounts of gold. No thief in hell is going to give two craps about a few "mud" filled jars strew across your garage.
That buddist necklace might be worth more on it's own. If it's a legitimate old hand-me-down necklace from an oriental origin, the piece might be an antique! My friend had a very similar thing with a 3D Vishnu on it made of 24k gold that was hundreds of years old, and it was worth like £5-6k, way more than it's weight in gold (about £3k of gold iirc).
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now, and I've gotten to where I usually know what you're going to do before you do it. I know they didn't have these videos when you started, so many thanks for sharing your hard-won knowledge. That was the shiniest most beautiful bar I've seen you make so far. I feel like I might be able to do it now, if I wanted to invest in the vent hood, all the beakers, the acids, the melting equipment, etc. I'm afraid of the upfront costs to getting started, that's for sure.
That's really neat! Imagine the very first person on earth to have figured out how to do that whole process from start to finish...mind blown. Before the torch when it still looked like sludge I'd never have known there was gold in it. But after that torch hit it, it got really pretty. I have to wonder if that necklace would be worth more in tact. If they bothered putting high quality gold in it maybe it was a designer piece.
To those who ask why the senior chief doesn't start off by dissolving the 14K and 10K gold in aqua regia: Doing so would result in all of the silver turning into silver chloride, which requires a couple of messy reactions to refine back into silver, and the solution will contain base metals in addition to the precious metals. Inquartation, followed by a nitric acid boil, extracts the silver as silver nitrate, the base metals also go into solution, and only the precious metals remain as solids. Recovering the silver metal from the solution is a much less messy procedure.
Don't feel obligated to answer, I know it's taboo to ask.. but as someone who loves a good bargain I'm dying to know how much Mrs. Sreetips was able to get all this great material for.
Like the powerful bond of gold atoms, the fact that Mrs. Sreetips allows you to put your WEDDING band in ANY kind of ACID speaks volumes to the strength of your bond.
That was .9999 Pure Gold! Beautiful bar!...Where's mine! Lol 😂...And thanks for the Sulphuric purification after using the SMB twice...That's why that Ingot looked so bloody good...Well done...
I love this! I shared this video with my wife, to reignite her desire to go, "Urban Mining", at Estate Sales! Please don't boil your wedding ring....... again! I cringe every time you do that! 👍 Great and FANTASTIC CONTENT! NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING YOUR UA-cam VIDEOS! Wade
Most people don’t understand gold and silver. They believe, incorrectly, that paper dollars are more valuable than the metals. For those that do understand, a world of prosperity awaits.
You demonstrated THAT inquarting works.. but not so much WHY it works. For those still puzzled about why, basically, the silver or copper can only be digested by the nitric acid if the nitric can reach it. At the atomic level, in 14k gold, there are about 11 gold atoms for every 10 silver atoms, so it is possible for silver atoms to be encapsulated by gold atoms, and even those silver atoms on the surface, when digested, make a very small cavity with few adjacent silvers, the nitric can't penetrate effectively. When you inquart to 6k, you're providing 5.5 silver atoms for every gold atom, which eliminates encapsulation of the silver, ensures that each silver atom has many adjacent silver atoms, and their removal creates large fluid channels which enables the nitric to reach and remove all of the silver atoms into solution, so they can be poured/rinsed/filtered off the pure gold. Sreetips.. do you agree? (Your channel, I'll defer if you have a correction..). What I'm curious about.. something I'd consider.. is using SMB for one precip, dropping the gold and (am I right?..) any PMG metals present, and then doing the second precip with oxalic acid which (again, am I right?..) won't drop the PMG, and can't drop anything removed by nitric or left in solution in the SMB precip. Seems to me that alternating between SMB and OA would give even better purity. Finally.. placer mined gold, such as the 88% AU typically found off Nome, AK.. could that be the impure feedstock for a gold electrolysis cell built like your silver cells, or would the placer gold need to be purified with aqua regia first?
I’m happy to see your channel growing man. I’ve been following you since the beginning. Back when you had a few hundred views and almost no comments other than a few questions. Plus you took care of the headset issue I noticed. Keep up the great work and I’ll always check out what you’re doin mister.
Since the wedding band came out discolored - a slightly darker shade - it shows that a little part (silver and copper) of the alloy was dissolved. Weighing the band prior and after the demonstration would show that a tiny amount of the wedding band went in solution. I think that inquarting modifies the structure (more silver interspersed between the pure gold) of an alloy so that the acid has easier/faster access to the soluble metals. Please correct me if I am wrong.
3:14 what you found here isn't just a piece of any costume. Its a "mangalsutra", worn by married hindu women in india. Mangalsutras are symbolic of a woman being married. Almost always these will have gold in them, along with different stones. Because the culture promotes using real gold for auspiciousness. So the next time you get hold of one of these, you are lucky!! Sometimes they may even have a few more precious gemsand other metals in them!! You dont even have to check the purity. I can say that almost every one of those mangalsutras will have a lot of high quality gold in them.
Another great refining sreetips! The aqua regia must feel weirdly heavy for that small amount of liquid. I imagine that the dissolved gold would just add such an unexpected amount of weight that it would be odd to handle. As usual, all the valuable information and steps were great to watch and hear you iterate. I learn so much every time I watch you do this, even when things go a little wrong.
If you do the gas bubbling process again, can you explain what is happening exactly? Besides that last bubbling process, I was super happy with this video with you explaining every step, thank you for a very great video. And I hope one day you can pour a full bar in that last size.
that was cool to see and helpful. I wouldnt of risked my ring tho lol. Just goes to show you really know what youre doing and trust yourself and skills. I like it other then a little cleaning the ring was fine, did not expect that.
Hands down best content on yt my add/adhd is totally invested lol currently collecting scrap and karat gold also step dad was a jewler i have sweeps platninum gold many scrap pieces ect cant wait to execute this method of refinement
My hubby watches this, suggests the next time you re-build your hood to install a clock in the back wall that can show the amount of time it takes to do these refining video's.
Thank you for this as I've collected over 20 oz of electronic parts that nitric does not affect and will do an experiment in inquarting on them. Hoping that adding more silver than necessary will not affect the quality as I have no way of guessing the K content
Excellent video every time I see you use your wedding band for example it's always interesting to think people still don't understand why you use silver outstanding video awesome content thank you for sharing six Stars brother

Same here, but my biggest concern is getting the jewelry. Where do you find jewelry that let you turn a profit?
Start with a silver cell and go from there.
I've always thought that this procedure was so cool , especially the way the liquid color shifts the way it does .👍👍
"Darling, my love for you is like a 14k gold ring in a sea of nitric acid... everlasting, uncompromising, and a little bit impure."
I notice a huge difference in lighting on this vid. Most noticeable at the melt table. Looks fantastic.

Dude borderline sacrificed his own wedding ring for the sake of demonstration and for the video. TWICE. Legit.

Awesome video K. I’ve watched you for awhile now and that bar is the best yet. So nice.
Very nice video. The bar came out so good! Thank you dear sir!
I thought Urban Mining was sweeping the dirt from the road and side walks downtown and getting gold out of that.
We do it a little differently and get a much greater yield
Cheers Sree great detailed explaining of everything and proper reminders of what not to do!!
🤜❤️🤛
Man that gas is the way to go. Another beautiful bar sir, great job.
nice purification process it was nice to see how you did that.thank you for sharing the information .
Seeing as it was a perfect 50g, I would’ve stamped it as such. 50g gold bars are fairly common in Europe, but I don’t know about the USA.
"Honey, what did you do with your wedding band?"
"I just had it in boiling nitric acid, dear. I'm making a point." 🤣🤣🤣
Grateful you did that with the ring. I hadn't understood until I watched this video what inquarting was for.
That color change relation is awesome to watch
Amazing how watching you work the magic is so satisfying!
Very beautiful bar! I really liked your video.
Looks like the nitric did a nice job of cleaning your ring though lol
And that pour was spot on! Beautiful bar!
Another great refining sreetips! The aqua regia must feel weirdly heavy for that small amount of liquid. I imagine that the dissolved gold would just add such an unexpected amount of weight that it would be odd to handle. As usual, all the valuable information and steps were great to watch and hear you iterate. I learn so much every time I watch you do this, even when things go a little wrong.
Always wondered about the viscosity of it as well
I have a video where I evaporated the liquid down to around 500ml and it had about 15 Troy ounces of pure gold dissolved in it.
@@sreetips I’d love to see that video, will you link to it please?

I must admit, I’m not exactly sure how the reaction happens. That’s why I didn’t explain it. But it sure looks like magic.
😁 Hopefully SREETIPS polishes his wedding band a little before Mrs SREETIPS notices the slight pitting the acid bath did to it during the test 🤣
that was cool to see and helpful. I wouldnt of risked my ring tho lol. Just goes to show you really know what youre doing and trust yourself and skills. I like it other then a little cleaning the ring was fine, did not expect that.
Hands down best content on yt my add/adhd is totally invested lol currently collecting scrap and karat gold also step dad was a jewler i have sweeps platninum gold many scrap pieces ect cant wait to execute this method of refinement
My hubby watches this, suggests the next time you re-build your hood to install a clock in the back wall that can show the amount of time it takes to do these refining video's.
I’ve done that in the past. Good idea
I think it's so fascinating to watch how the gold slowly dissolves in the acid over a period of time .
Im so glad I pulled the tube out I was wondering if it would continue just like that! Very good vidio!
I would bet a secondary reason he does the demonstration with the high karat gold in nitric is to clean his wedding band.
That one looks really cool. I would be proud to hoard a bar like that for awhile
Thank you for this as I've collected over 20 oz of electronic parts that nitric does not affect and will do an experiment in inquarting on them. Hoping that adding more silver than necessary will not affect the quality as I have no way of guessing the K content
I love when the seller says "There isn't any gold in that bag. I've checked." I find so much missed gold.
It’s a gold-buyers paradise for those who know when, where, and what to look for.
Excellent video every time I see you use your wedding band for example it's always interesting to think people still don't understand why you use silver outstanding video awesome content thank you for sharing six Stars brother
I believe that is one of your best looking pours to date Sreetips. Cool stuff bro.
Great looking bar!
