I just bought a gigantic sterling silver flatware set. A woman was living in her car. She inherited it. She knew that I buy silver and so she sold it to me. I paid her nearly 100% of spot. Spot is so grossly undervalued that it was a fantastic deal. I gave her paper. She gave me metal - SILVER! It’s a silver-buyers paradise out there right now. And the sellers are using the grossly undervalued spot price to determine their ask. I’m buying all the silver that I can get my hands on. I refine gold. I use sterling silver, that I buy at estate sales, to refine the scrap gold. I recover the silver from that, melt into shot, and run it through my silver cell. The cell converts the impure silver (about 980 parts per thousand silver) to high purity four nines fine (9999 parts per ten thousand) pure elemental silver metal. The impure silver is added to the anode basket. The anode basket is suspended in the silver nitrate electrolyte. I pass an electric current through the impure silver. The silver dissolves, passes through the Dacron filter, travels through the silver nitrate electrolyte, and deposits on the stainless steel bowl (the cathode). The bowl is connected to the negative pole of the power supply. The process only deposits pure silver on the cathode. So I’m refining the impure silver, into high purity silver. When it’s full, I harvest the pure silver crystal, put it away, and forget about it. Then I repeat the whole thing again.
I’ve been watching your videos for some time now and have seen these processes over and over again. I’m thinking I should get bored yet you never fail to hold my full attention. The Magic of Sreetips!
Can you process those silver cell slimes next?? Dish is getting full and that'll make a nice breakdown of what you get after making pure silver...Just a thought and again, nice job...
I'd like to see him start casting with some of it. Even if it's just medalions with the channel name on them, he could sell them on ebay for a small profit. It'd add variety and make him a little extra $$.

I think it would be cool to see the copper suspended I the electrolyte towards the top. I would have a cascading waterfall effect. That on time-lapse,would be really cool.
One of my favorite channels on UA-cam, your knowledge, narration and processing are great truly enjoyable to watch. I'm even starting to catch on a tiny slight bit about how this all works after watching for a year now ha.
Would you consider doing a silver cell harvest live? I think it’d be interesting for you to answer questions love and possibly have a longer video to go back and watch. Thanks for quality content!
I love you man! You definitely have come along way sir. Been watching you for years. Even got investigated and raided by special ops for doing this stuff. They thought I was making drugs. Cleanup bill of 17k for cleanup….on bill says all copper sulphate! What a joke. People see beakers they assume drugs. Keep it up good man, great episode for a birthday boy! Got my daughter back as a gift from god also. 626 days taken from me. Now she’s taking science haha stay real!✌🏼
I'm just sitting here in awe looking at the beauty of what you do, those silver crystals are unreal, the texture difference between each batch is really interesting. And watching that cement silver is just fantastic, I could watch that in real time and still be satisfied. Nice haul, great job!
Your vids really are an ASMR outlet for me I think. I just sit there and watch, and feel relaxed. I'm seriously considering trying to get a silver cell going.
Mr and Mrs Sreetips are heros. Not only do they reprocess gold and silver but they buy from yard sales once again truly recycling to reuse. These people are doing. While many talk about reduce reuse recycle its just talk.
That was awesome 👌 I could see a difference in the silver crystals from Silver cell #1. They looked longer. Both are amazing spectacles to behold. Your like Beethoven in the laboratory, you have labored to produce! Thank you for sharing such an amazing process.

Congratulations Mr Sreetips! You've come quite a ways. I was thinking, you could re-use the rinse water for each silver beaker, one after the other and use much less water in your rinses in the long run.
@sreetips Fantastic! Thank you for your detailed videos. I recently finished my second silver cell harvest, modeled after your setup. I've learned so much from your videos.
@xmachine7003 My first harvest was 680g, about 21ozt. I ran the cell for 10 days. I ran the second batch for 7 days at a slightly lower voltage, yet I depleted my silver shot supply. The second batch yield was far less at 396g. I'm now recovering silver from filters and wash solutions, procuring more sterling and scrap, and doing basic cleanup in preparation to run again.
BRAVO!...I love to see a maestro at work, sreetips, you are a master conductor of the chemical orchestra!...PURE MAGIC!! btw, people could learn some very valuable transferable skills from the way you approach your craft, i.e: PATIENCE, STEADFASTNESS and DILIGENCE.
Good evening Sreetips. I have another idea that I think will minimizing your washing technique. Do you still have that monster Buchner Funnel? Dump in your silver and run a gallon of hot water through it and call it a day. You could reheat that same rinse wash water and rinse the second batch. Then heat a some fresh distilled water for the final rinse. You could also use that filtered rinse water for your next batch of making silver nitrate. Just a thought in reducing 4+ gallons of distilled water into perhaps a gallon and a half ish or so. Fun stuff bud.
Another beautiful video, Sir! I wonder what causes the difference in growth (ie- thicker and more robust vs. finer and more delicate appearing). Thank you for sharing and educating us all with your devotion to your “Hobby”! My 8yoa daughter even asks specifically to watch your videos with me 👍🏻👍🏻
the corrosion on the wire that's welded onto the silver bar may be due to a salt forming from the solution which migrates as time passes which then eats the wire. Same problem with road grit salt : you'd surprised how much salt moves over time with temperature and humidity level changes and brine mists. It's a big problem with electronics in road gritters, every electronic bits need to be protected in a watertight container to be sure that salt won't get to it. I suggest welding the wire on the side of the bar and place it vertically to the basket in order to keep the wire further away from the point of contact and at delay the wire's corrosion due to salt migration.
nice videos, hope you hang on to your silver for a while, the price is going up along with gold and with the economic conditions in the world its sure to go much much higher,
What just happened? That's phenomenal! Fluffy crystals in #2 and bulky crystals in #1 for the win! Quick and easy way to start pouring door stops! New basket and electrolyte make a huge difference!
It's very interesting the different characteristic of each silver cell. Silver cell #1 seems to pack the silver more densely than Silver cell #2. And just to be clear, I'm not saying that the silver produced by #1 would actually be denser because elemental silver is elemental silver. It just seems like #2 is almost more softly packed. Like a fresh snow pack vs more icy harder snow pack. I hope that makes sense. How did they FEEL to you Sreetips? 🤔 Edit: I wrote this comment at 8:00 and you confirmed at 14:44. lol I gotta be more patient I guess HAHA! Another Edit: 18:54 I knew IT! I KNEW IT!!! HAHAHAHA! #1 GOT OLD MUSCLE! LMAO! 🤣
Thank you Mr.Sreetips. The luster of your pure Gold and Silver bars is just wow! Incredible! Cannot wait for the Silver Bar pour. Didn't you start all of this with around 1500g's for the Electrolyte? How much Cement Silver Shot was used? What did it weigh? Thanks again!
One thing I've noticed is since you've added more holes on your containers the silver Crystals have gotten thicker and it's taking less time to produce larger quantities of silver Crystal.
Congrats man, amazing haul 🎉! It would be cool to have a sreetips silver crystal bars/rounds (made from your silver crystal). I know I would buy some from your ebay store.
I really would love to see this perfectly pure silver melted into bars but I', assuming you sell the silver in this form as is. great work as usual and I love watching :)
Congrats on a nice harvest. :) Try some marine grade epoxy paint on the wire/silver bar anode connection to prevent the corrosion... Use a few coats and try to avoid bending the wire or even reinforce it a bit (cast the wire in a larger pad that encases the wire).
I think I commented to the video of Mr. Sreetips building the new larger Silver Cell stating "with greater surface area, I expect production to increase in speed and volume". Why did I say that? Its a hemisphere, enlarging it a few inches? result will be essentially cubed (multiply by 3.14 hint hint) and thus, more and faster.
I enjoy watching your videos and I have a tip for you if you want to try it. Drill a little hole for the copper wire and use silver soldier welding rod to soldier the wire into the hole. I think you will find that the wire will last longer and carry more current. I hope this helps. I wish I was as smart as you though. I'm just a very good welder and I have that 10 amp power supply unit to work on lithium batteries that I make. Thank you and work safe.
Is the cement silver coming out of the electrolyte going to be more pure than the cement silver you get from the gold refining? Btw: I know you may not be making bank from UA-cam, but I definitely appreciate the dedication to the videos. I just can't get enough of your videos. It is just so fascinating to me to see solid money being created.
@@sreetips Could you do a quick melt video of a button of cement silver to compare? Gold refining waste cement silver vs electrolyte cement silver? That'd be interesting to see. Thanks!
Nice work. You should try to make batteries from the waste water with clay pot as separator. Dry cell needs to be 55% of the weight copper, 10% bismuth trioxide and 30% graphite powder. Other pole needs zinc or zinc oxide. Robert Murray Smith has good instructions for the copper zinc battery.
Hi Sreetips, always enjoy your experiments and videos. Love some silver! One question, have you considered using silver wire/silver coated copper instead of solid copper for the electrical connections to the anode? Would that cut down on the bi-metallic corrosion? Is it even practical?
Watching you do this, I wonder why you don’t have some sort of sieve. Because you could pour that silver into a sieve, and then rinse it that way because the crystals wouldn’t go through the sieve anymore than what goes out with your rinsing and you could use a lot less distilled water.
Sreetips Did the current drop in the silver cells because the electrolyte was exhausted? Also, where do you get all of your Pyrex dishes? Thrifting? That is one heck of a nice recovery on those silver cells. I made my own using your design about 5-6 years ago, but i definitely need to upgrade like you have. I’m still using the little alligator clips and thinner wire. Those upgrades you did really seem to maximize your production. Great video as always.
Great silver recovery video. Upgrade to 8AWG low oxygen content high quality copper wire for lowest power loss in your silver cells. They will last longer than the 10 gauge and less work for you. Have you tried tining the exposed copper conductors for longevity against electrolytic corrosion at the silver electrode(s)? Silver solder comes to mind.
Another awesome video and great haul!!!! This has probably been asked in the past but, do you ever use pure silver to inquart gold, and if you have, does it help to pureify the gold easier with less contamination?
No, it’s best to use sterling silver for inquartation. Using silver crystal would be a step in the wrong direction because it’s already been through the silver cell.
New video request: The Sounds of Sreetips Slow down when you are scraping the bowls. ASMR The quiet parts without narration and the sounds of the experiments. I can't be the only one who hasn't thought about it.
Wow!! A pile of silver! The difference in crystals is very interesting. Any thoughts on that? Difference between fresh and reused solution, perhaps?? Great video!
One question for you Sreetips. You cement out the copper from your waste solutions in a bucket with iron. How often do you go and reclaim the copper from that waste bucket?
Something is different with the current from the HP power supply, the crystals are more wool-like and stick together quite different to the crystals from the other cell. 🤔. Great yield, thanks for sharing! 💪
Your valuation is based on paper traded futures contracts that are even more manipulated than the USD. Silver is worth far more than what you calculated. Money is imaginary, silver is real. The goal is to hold silver and only convert it to dollars when needed.
Insulate the wire to the silver bar. When washing silver, try the method with a strainer and filter, or a large and dense colander, so you do not consume so much water, try pouring impure silver into the bar and adding it to the filter it consumes faster and does not clog the filter
Have you considered putting some insulating compound - maybe the plasti-dip rubber - on the lower end of the wire to prevent or at least limit the corrosion?

Having Personal Best Moment is Really Sweet I had that Once ! Great Work I'd Pat you on the Back ! No Y. T. Transporter's Yet!!!; )
Congrats on a nice harvest. :)
Try some marine grade epoxy paint on the wire/silver bar anode connection to prevent the corrosion... Use a few coats and try to avoid bending the wire or even reinforce it a bit (cast the wire in a larger pad that encases the wire).
You could make a silver conductor to avoid the corrosion problem between silver and copper. But a year is a pretty good time for them to last.
Sreetips, you need to put the silver crystal in a money bin so you can go swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck 🤣
I think I commented to the video of Mr. Sreetips building the new larger Silver Cell stating "with greater surface area, I expect production to increase in speed and volume". Why did I say that? Its a hemisphere, enlarging it a few inches? result will be essentially cubed (multiply by 3.14 hint hint) and thus, more and faster.

Would that not be the same as casting the silver bar around the copper wire?

Such a beautiful big harvest of silver. At over 4 kilograms, an amazing amount. 👍🏻
Those silver crystals look neato.
I still want to see what they and gold coming out of solution look like
Watching you do this, I wonder why you don’t have some sort of sieve. Because you could pour that silver into a sieve, and then rinse it that way because the crystals wouldn’t go through the sieve anymore than what goes out with your rinsing and you could use a lot less distilled water.
you should try the giant brick mold again with this silver.
I agree, please pour another large bar with the silver crystals, that episode was amazing!

Did the current drop in the silver cells because the electrolyte was exhausted?

I’m still using the little alligator clips and thinner wire. Those upgrades you did really seem to maximize your production. Great video as always.
Thrifting
Current flow drops because the filter gets clogged with slimes and interferes. I buy Pyrex at local yard sales

Wow!! A pile of silver! The difference in crystals is very interesting. Any thoughts on that? Difference between fresh and reused solution, perhaps?? Great video!
There are many factors that determine crystals size and shape. It’s nearly impossible to duplicate from one run to the next.
The introduction of the second silver cell was a wise decision 🤯
One question for you Sreetips. You cement out the copper from your waste solutions in a bucket with iron. How often do you go and reclaim the copper from that waste bucket?
Something is different with the current from the HP power supply, the crystals are more wool-like and stick together quite different to the crystals from the other cell. 🤔. Great yield, thanks for sharing! 💪
Almost $3800 in silver Chief...Nice haul, glad WE'RE sharing in it!! 😂 ROFLMAO 😅
As Fiat starts to fail, that value is going to shoot through the roof!
Your valuation is based on paper traded futures contracts that are even more manipulated than the USD. Silver is worth far more than what you calculated. Money is imaginary, silver is real. The goal is to hold silver and only convert it to dollars when needed.
@@ExtractingMetals JP Morgan Chase is the silver god. They have the market cornered.
i hate to be the ‘ village idiot ‘ , just saw this video . FASCINATING !!! What is the economic return ??
I'm literally sitting in front if my fume hood dissolving silver as I watch this 😎👍
We need Sreetips written on the power supplies please!!!
I can do that.
Insulate the wire to the silver bar. When washing silver, try the method with a strainer and filter, or a large and dense colander, so you do not consume so much water, try pouring impure silver into the bar and adding it to the filter it consumes faster and does not clog the filter
I could try a dab of sealant at the joint.
Have you considered putting some insulating compound - maybe the plasti-dip rubber - on the lower end of the wire to prevent or at least limit the corrosion?
Yes
