That's a very complicated process. I was quite amazed to see the result appear as a pile of sludge in a dish, which was then melted to form a beautiful .999 shiny gold bar. Very interesting, and quite captivating.
Great video. I recently found a perfect way to achieve a smooth finish on my bars when I pour in my metal. You need first to make metal shots and after place those shots inside the mold and melt them again. This way, you end up with smooth surfaces.
To that comment (B B ) Touche....LOL .don't come looking for me I have no gold although I spent quite a bit of money to REEfine the 10 14 18 24 karat gold for them lol, with a splash of ACID....
I'm pausing the video at not-quite two-minutes in, and wow am I intrigued!! I once saw a step-by-step article breaking down this process that I since haven't been able to find again. You are doing a much larger scale version of what I learned about but didn't internalize as personal knowledge of my own. Maybe now, after studying this, I can get this stuff down and scrap a large broken flat-screen tv I have in my shed.

Hey, I'd not only hold his Beer, I'd give him my Drink cooler 😎😋, Cause, he's just a very cool guy.!! LOLOLOL Hey, if we can't Make a few jokes about [ Life in general ] Then we're WAY - TO - UPTIGHT,...
Well he said at the end he borrowed the money to get the materials and stuff to do this, so selling the bar at the end was necessary to pay back those debts. So you just need a large fortune, OR a large pile of debt. It's nice to have options.
@@chrissinger101 He does get his silver back. Sreetips adding silver to his gold is a method called inquartation. Sreetips adds enough silver to his gold to get around 6-7 karat gold pieces. Then he puts nitric acid on to it until all silver and base metals are taken out of the gold thanks to the nitric acid. All the silver, copper, and the other base metals are in liquid form in the blue/green liquid you see in his videos. There's other videos he's posted showing him taking the silver out of the liquid form and refining it as well. Sreetips explains the whole refining process much better than I did, just watch the videos and you learn over time how it works, as I did.
Hey Sree, long time viewer here. Really glad to see how much more efficient you've become with some excellent lab additions for your refining process. I've never refined any metal and really don't have any intention to, but watching your videos has always been a blast.
WOW!.. that was some meal of a video, I can hardly digest everything,, "however" the way you explained it left me intrigued. I have the highest respect in great interest and what you do.

39:19 If you go frame by frame ( keys) you can see a tiny bit on the spoon coming back from the crucible and then he knocks it on the pyrex dish. D'oh!
I don't read all the comments, but I'll add that your videos are quite captivating and educational. I have thoroughly enjoyed spending my time watching them and learning. Thanks! Oh and thank you for your service to this great country! PS, I subscribed today.
I love watching you refine Gold i always love the reaction of SMB with the Gold solution and the sheer beauty of when the Gold powder slowly melts into Gold metal keep doing these vids they are works of art and i hope you are able to make that chess set you were hoping to make and might i suggest having the chess board made from a light white colour wood and a rich dark wood to add that extra touch of beauty to the set
Loved the video. Would be nice if you gave a diagram of the chemical reactions in the process but, well, I could do that by watching the video again and taking note. Definitely a fun watch!
Thought you might be interested watching this video on 5/11/20 that the bar of gold you had is now worth 32,927.62 I thought you might find that interesting :)))
@@ojotabe3 currency is a product, that's precisely how it works, it has supply and demand like everything else, now go see what's happening, they are increasing the supply of dollar like crazy. I don't think the supply of gold changed that much, the demand is going even higher, but not higher than the supply of dollar, there's an excess of dollar, and a lack of gold, yes, the gold is valued more, but the dollar is value way, way less now, I just converted 30% of liquidity to gold to survive the oncoming crash. And if I'm wrong so what, gold will always be gold.
its so fun to watch you do this chemical prossess. Its a trip how different the gold looked in the white dish before it is melted. that dish was really heavy it bet. right on man great video
Gold is so beautiful when it's refined and pure like that...especially at the end after he sweated the bits off into water to melt into a bar...but all that small chunky pieces of it he had, just wow!
This is a really challenging and perilous work. It's clear for me now why gold is one of the most appreciated materials in the world and how it has a high cost even in natural resources like water and energy to be refined.
I just found this channel. I love learning about this stuff! I've learned so much watching this process. I've always wondered if you're able to get all of the gold out of the containers when you're pouring it. I'd think that some would stay. Great channel!! Subscribed!
Awesome vid,great commentary and videography, I always wondered how they get all impurities out to make pure gold,me thinking they melt it and separate it somehow. I really enjoyed watching and listening to this process. And didn,t that pure gold bar look amazing at the end. Thankyou very much for sharing your knowledge and for posting this video. Best wishes to you, from, Auckland, New Zealand 👑🥉🥈🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅⭐👍✅💯%❤🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I heat my crucible on top of my furnace and do a quick pours it's best to move quick from when you turn the furnace off to the pour I practiced alot with lead aluminum once you get it down you can make perfect bars also I use graphite molds as well other then that yea pretty much it to scrapping gold
For anyone curious, although inquarting is usually done with silver to lower the gold percentage to 25% or lower, you can actually go the other direction and raise the gold percentage to 75% or higher. Inquarting will work for both scenarios as long as the concentration of gold is between 0-25% or 75-100%. The only difference is with the 75%or higher method, you use aqua Regia directly. It will still form silver chloride, but the silver is so dilute in the 75%+ alloy that it does not passivate or block gold atoms from being dissolved. You end up with silver chloride in chloroauric acid solution rather than gold metal in silver nitrate that you get in the more classic 25% or less method.
Just a question, I understand using the process for the lower purity gold pieces. But why do it for the puck of gold that was already 24 karat? Any reason for this?
What a nice chunky bar. It's very interesting to compare this older video to your newer refinements and see how your process (and workspace) has improved over the years; though I suspect that is the same scale.
Amazing Job!! My heart stopped when you were spooning the gold cake into the dish, I thought for sure the spoon was going catch a soft spot and flick gold cake everywhere.... Excellent video, thanks for posting. Liked and subbed. Look forward to your future posts.

As far as the acids go, granted they are at room temp, any splashing can be rinsed off and little to no damage will happen. Possibly some yellowing from nitric, and some blackinging with silver nitrate. Hot acid is different and I've never seen him pouring hot acid in his direction.
For the molten metal, he absolutely never pours it in his direction. And it's not like it would pour in any crazy direction, he's got gravity on his side
Absolutely awesome video. I’m new to the gold refining aspects, I recently acquired some scrap gold and was curious on how you do the math on gold to silver ratio of how much to mix. Can you do a separate video on how to figure everything out with different karat golds?
My wife has literally text me 3 times while im smoking in the garage, which im supposed to be quitting because shes pregnant again, and im watching this. Thats not all, i watched a 20 minute video of how to hunt half dollar coins at your bank before this. Idk why i do this shit lol. Oh well
My favorite part of this whole amazing process: the lawnmower sitting on the floor nearby. Is it not advisable to use a teflon coated tray for warm-drying the gold dust? I mean, for easier removal from there and into the melt dish ...
This guy has NEVER sold gold to a refinery. An honest post would the results of the refinery's melt assay. Or at least mention the $200-$300 cost od said assay
Pretty damn cool seeing the pure gold drop into the water.. I wonder if you stirred the pit of water fast before pouring the gold into it so that maybe the pieces are smaller. Wouldnt it allow you to use less acid and what not to dissolve?
I have a very important question whether the color of the aqua rigia if it turns reddish yellow as in the video indicates the presence of gold in the solution? Because I tried a lot to do the deposition but without ice and failed Thank you
Wow, what a wild ride! I thought you got me there for a minute and you did all of that and made nutmeg, but damn it, you did it. I'm exhausted just watching that.
I'm 30 minutes in and was skimming the comments because I thought I heard heavy breathing from Cody's lab. I didn't check how long the video was and was surprised you saying it was a 48 minute video. :D
Just discovered this channel recently probably due to the algorithm and all my interests and subscriptions to various science channels, and I just wanted to say that I find watching these to be so relaxing and calming. I got adhd and super bad anxiety but watching this guy refine gold is comforting like a cooking show or something. Idk it’s just calming. Nature and chemistry is fascinating and I mean no offense but seeing this guys setup really makes me think anybody can do this, not that everyone should, but everyone certainly could. Anyways end rant
Thank you sir for all you do! You are the expert surgeon of gold recovery! I have to refine a 17 gram chunk. It was recovered from plated pins. I'm going to use nitric & water. I'd say its probably 10-14k it looks a bit rosey.. My idea is to Dissolve base metals to leave behind the gold I can melt! You are the Bruce Lee of Gold Recovery!💪🏆🏆🏆🏆🌞

Great Video "Man". I really learned so much from you. Thanks a Million, it was surely worth watching for 48.19 Minutes. Hope you made some money pal. Thanks!!
I can melt my gold bars far easier, just leave em in the sun! They're chocolate! Never knew it was such a long process to refine gold! Thank you for the video!
Wow, I shoulda took chemestry class. I just watched this man make solid metal into liquid gold iced tea with chemicals, then pour the absolute nicest home made bar iv seen. I'm convinced this man can pull off the humonculus. This man has an amazing skill set. Pouring deady acids and 30 thousand dollar liquids like nothin. Pro carefulness. Damn. Props.
he definitely was paying attention in chemistry class (likely college courses too). :P The real protip for making a great looking bar/ingot, regardless of metal is to heat the mold. It's astonishing seeing so many UA-camrs spending many days on a project to skip such a basic (and obvious) step - if the mold solidifies your metal before you've finished pouring, it will never look good.
Please understand, that gold bar has not become more valuable nor more scarce. What’s really happened is that the currency has lost value (due to money printing) so that it takes much more of it to get the same amount of stuff. The gold has not increased in value, the currency has gone down in value.
You can tell this guy has alot of persistence and patience just by how he likes alot of his comments and takes the time to look over them and also you know these procedures take lots of time. Patience is a virtue haha.
Make a chilling chamber. Get some PVC pipe, 12” in diameter and four feet long. Fill it 7/8’s full of distilled water and pour the melt down through it. The travel distance through the water will chill the melt and give you a spheroidal product.
Now I realize my high school Chemistry classes were missing some important chapters.

this kept showing up in my recommendations, i decided to give it a shot and i'm not disappointed
Absolutely awesome video. I’m new to the gold refining aspects, I recently acquired some scrap gold and was curious on how you do the math on gold to silver ratio of how much to mix. Can you do a separate video on how to figure everything out with different karat golds?
It’s simple math. 14k is 14/24=.583 or 58.3% pure gold. So 100g of 14k gold would contain 58.3g of pure gold, theoretically.
I love how gold even sounds beautiful.
Really should be getting to bed right now..let’s just watch this 45 min vid on how this person makes a gold bar first
lilceazy87 haha couldn’t be more right with that
Lol, exactly what happened to me...couldn't stop watching...enjoyed it very much and now.
Zzzzzzzzz
Scrolling comments, 5 minutes in. You've just saved me a lot of time
My wife has literally text me 3 times while im smoking in the garage, which im supposed to be quitting because shes pregnant again, and im watching this. Thats not all, i watched a 20 minute video of how to hunt half dollar coins at your bank before this. Idk why i do this shit lol. Oh well
I thought you made gold bars from smelting gold ore in the furnace
My favorite part of this whole amazing process: the lawnmower sitting on the floor nearby.
Is it not advisable to use a teflon coated tray for warm-drying the gold dust? I mean, for easier removal from there and into the melt dish ...
I’ve never used a Teflon coated tray
Man....I have never seen a person with a skill-set as valuable as yours...this is amazing.. Something tells me you have a seriously nice safe..
Lol all that and at the very end “now I ship it off to the refinery”.
LOL. What happened to trust these days...
Good point. What the hell.
This guy has NEVER sold gold to a refinery. An honest post would the results of the refinery's melt assay. Or at least mention the $200-$300 cost od said assay
Keith Shaughnessy : that’s what he says at the end of the video… off to the refinery
That bar is worth about $33,642.00 today
Wow great video.
All that chemistry !
Thank you for the excellent tutorial !
BTW how did you recover the silver from that blue solution ?
Pretty damn cool seeing the pure gold drop into the water.. I wonder if you stirred the pit of water fast before pouring the gold into it so that maybe the pieces are smaller. Wouldnt it allow you to use less acid and what not to dissolve?
Awesome videos, thanks again for uploads!!
I have a very important question whether the color of the aqua rigia if it turns reddish yellow as in the video indicates the presence of gold in the solution?
Because I tried a lot to do the deposition but without ice and failed
Thank you
Cool, but I was looking forward to seeing you recover the silver too.
I'll briefly show how that's done in my new video coming out as soon as I get the time to get it finished.
sreetips - I would love to see this and how it’s value compared to recovery costs
@@theRhinsRanger it's a hobby not a paycheck.
It takes extreme talent and patience to do this. He accomplishes this task with finesse. Seen a prior video about this, it is still amazing.
Wow, what a wild ride! I thought you got me there for a minute and you did all of that and made nutmeg, but damn it, you did it.
I'm exhausted just watching that.
I think I experienced gold fever when you were picking up handfuls of gold in the water pot!
I bet your neighbors love that flume exhaust. Great results
That GOLD bar!!!!!!!!!
Very nice job making such a Beautiful object!! Just beautiful 😍
I'm a rookie panner,and that was a ultra cool,,,,interesting, process,,,you should of put your custom stamp on it,,,,,great vid,,,,thanks!!!!😎
Me starting this video: I’m not gonna watch a 48 minute video!
Me finishing the whole thing: what just happened!?
I watch these videos when I'm excercising. The time flys by.
I'm 30 minutes in and was skimming the comments because I thought I heard heavy breathing from Cody's lab. I didn't check how long the video was and was surprised you saying it was a 48 minute video. :D
@@zabnat hahahaha i just did the same
@@sreetips
I'll buy that bar of gold from you!
I think he borrowed $27,000 to buy gold to refine, then sell it back to the refinery for $27,000.
Sitting here watching the most random vvideo I've ever seen...completely hooked...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I loved it.
Just discovered this channel recently probably due to the algorithm and all my interests and subscriptions to various science channels, and I just wanted to say that I find watching these to be so relaxing and calming. I got adhd and super bad anxiety but watching this guy refine gold is comforting like a cooking show or something. Idk it’s just calming. Nature and chemistry is fascinating and I mean no offense but seeing this guys setup really makes me think anybody can do this, not that everyone should, but everyone certainly could. Anyways end rant
Welcome and thank you!
"This is the grittiest, crunchiest carrot cake I've EVER tasted!"
@7:55 Graphrite RODDDD lol love when he says that...but doesn't he look like he could be Superman? The Christopher Reeve one?
Thank you sir for all you do! You are the expert surgeon of gold recovery! I have to refine a 17 gram chunk. It was recovered from plated pins. I'm going to use nitric & water. I'd say its probably 10-14k it looks a bit rosey..
My idea is to Dissolve base metals to leave behind the gold I can melt!
You are the Bruce Lee of Gold Recovery!💪🏆🏆🏆🏆🌞
👑Excelente programa. muy buen trabajo amigo,y sobre todo la visualización creada con toda esa buena imaginación.talentoso deberás que si viejito bendiciones bacán📷
Gracias!
This was very cool to watch. Thanks for uploading :)
Fascinating to watch you talk us through this with awesome results, but I think I will let you show us how it's done! Wow
Yes step by step truly fascinating to look at also the patience that goes with it truly ah great job.
Great Video "Man". I really learned so much from you. Thanks a Million, it was surely worth watching for 48.19 Minutes. Hope you made some money pal. Thanks!!
thanks I always find your work very interesting
I can melt my gold bars far easier, just leave em in the sun! They're chocolate! Never knew it was such a long process to refine gold! Thank you for the video!
Wow, I shoulda took chemestry class. I just watched this man make solid metal into liquid gold iced tea with chemicals, then pour the absolute nicest home made bar iv seen. I'm convinced this man can pull off the humonculus. This man has an amazing skill set. Pouring deady acids and 30 thousand dollar liquids like nothin. Pro carefulness. Damn. Props.
he definitely was paying attention in chemistry class (likely college courses too). :P
The real protip for making a great looking bar/ingot, regardless of metal is to heat the mold. It's astonishing seeing so many UA-camrs spending many days on a project to skip such a basic (and obvious) step - if the mold solidifies your metal before you've finished pouring, it will never look good.
I have a sense you have found your Walter White...
Really mesmerizing, I've been watching a bunch of your videos for hours, thanks.
BTW as of Jan 9 2024, 611g of Au is worth ~$40k
Please understand, that gold bar has not become more valuable nor more scarce. What’s really happened is that the currency has lost value (due to money printing) so that it takes much more of it to get the same amount of stuff. The gold has not increased in value, the currency has gone down in value.
Ive watched this episode 4 times and it never gets old.Uncle sreetips is the best keep it up
Imagine dropping that flask of dissolved gold 😭😭😭😭 I'd be so upset.
you'd burn the carpet and recover the gold from the ashes. If not carpet than whatever it was spilled on. Good luck if it was concrete though.
@Paradoxical Nightmare too bad that didn't know it kills you
30:18 looks absolutely delicious and refreshing
Forbidden orange juice.
You can tell this guy has alot of persistence and patience just by how he likes alot of his comments and takes the time to look over them and also you know these procedures take lots of time. Patience is a virtue haha.
Thank you!
@sreetips your very welcome God bless
Make a chilling chamber. Get some PVC pipe, 12” in diameter and four feet long. Fill it 7/8’s full of distilled water and pour the melt down through it. The travel distance through the water will chill the melt and give you a spheroidal product.
next video needs to be on how you get back all that silver now! this was awesome my man!
He has videos on that subject.
