That ,right there, is top of the line grade A Merlin style alchemy. I am fascinated by the process you are gracious enough to share with us. Thank you Sir.
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!
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.
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 🍻
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 👍
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).
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
Hello Mr sreetips. Seems to me that Mrs sreetips has work hard to get gold to your hobby. God truly blessing both of you. It is so nice to see. Hard woork and gods blessing realy pays out🌹🌹. Have a Nice day, and thank you for a nice clip. Arne 🇳🇴
Love the video! I believe we will see gold/silver continue to fall through 2023 and then climb for the next 5 years or so. What do you think? Internet never forgets. So, I may be proven foolish with this post, but I did predict the $50 silver boom and it’s fall. Sadly some fought me on that. I hope they didn’t lose too much.

You haven’t gone back far enough! Holy some of those multiple multiple multiple Troy oz bars from back in the day were insanely beautiful!
Never realised how much I liked gold until I saw you pour and get that beautiful result. The whole process was mesmerising.
Watching the show precipitation is like watching pure unadulterated natural magic. Amazing. Simply amazing.
I think watching the forks and spoons melt in is my favorite part of the videos lol. Besides the forbidden blue and orange coolaids
I've always thought that this procedure was so cool , especially the way the liquid color shifts the way it does .👍👍

Same weight whether sterling or copper. But copper takes more acid.
Best bar to date. Only one I still like more is the bar that had the crystalline structure showing on the surface. Top notch 😃.

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.
Went very fast on ebay! Congratulations on another great video, and thank you sir for showing us how it's done!

The silverware you add to the gold at the beginning is what I grew up using! Didn’t realize it was real silver then
Yours might not had been.
Looks like the nitric did a nice job of cleaning your ring though lol
😁 Hopefully SREETIPS polishes his wedding band a little before Mrs SREETIPS notices the slight pitting the acid bath did to it during the test 🤣
