TURN LEAD INTO SILVER - Using the Parkes Process |ask Jeff Williams

- In this video we will show you how to effectively turn Lead into Silver using the Parkes process.
When zinc is added to liquid lead that contains silver as a contaminant, the silver migrates into the zinc.
The zinc remains in a separate layer and is easily removed. The zinc-silver solution is then heated until the zinc vaporizes, leaving nearly pure silver behind.
Cupellation can also be used for the removal of Zinc
If gold is present in the liquid lead, it can also be removed and isolated by the same process.
We use iron from a skillet to aid in oxidation of lead sulfide which pulls the sulfur from the lead sulfide and creates Sulfur Dioxide.
The carbon from the charcoal is added to reduce it down to lead matte all in one step
Now we know this is an older vid but it got pulled down for some reason and we are re posting it.
If you liked this vid....well then Sonny Jim give it a Big thumbs Up and leave us a comment cause we love to read them......
So you know what I am gonna say huh...
So C'mon.....Let's Go !!!!!!

Turn lead into silver..the 0nly real way is the old fashioned train robbery. :)
You mean the finest silver is the silver you've stolen from someone else. lol
The title is very wrong because this is not the conversion of lead into silver.... Rather, this is the method of extracting silver from lead
that was one hell of an earth bong, goly. Great video Jeff, thanks for all your hard work going into it, that Parkes process is no joke.
I been Cupelled to thank you Jeff fun but nasty Scarry kind of fun But Me likes the Gold too!!! Thanks Slim for posing for introduction!!!
yep that is why I am a Gold guy
Wow...quite a process for 15 bucks an ounce!! Thanks for another great video Jeff. Yup....I'll stick with the gold.
Jeff, that was really neat ...Thanks for taking the time.
you bet and thanks for watching.....as you can tell this is an older vid that Got pulled down so back up it goes....
The conan music was awesome. And so was this video!
thanks.
So cool to talk! Thank you so much for replying!
you betcha
2,642nd 👍
That barrel kiln with the slide away top. 👌 Maaaan, You got all the good toys.
That was a good video Jeff. I’m blown away by your knowledge of metals. Your the man.
Thanks Mark
Sorry you mentioned it in previous vid. Ya how's days can't make money off silver. Wonder what that bar was worth in 1800's
you got tongs for everyday of the week, awesome!
The most fun you can have with lead and silver.
Man you really know your stuff and yeah I'm gonna watch the next video . 😁👍
Hey Jeff, next drift mine you open forget about tracks, ties, and cars. Ditch witch makes a vacuum for cleaning out storm drains. It could easily pull rocks the size of soft balls through a hundred yards of 6" PVC pipe. Also it would pull fresh air into your mine so no extra ventilation needed. We used to excavate under buildings in Seattle with this setup. You can add a cyclone filter made out of a 55 gallon barrel so no dust reaches the vacuum.
yep we saw that ...wonder if it cmes with a longer hose.... sounds like a great idea...they use something like that in lightning Ridge Coober pedy
@@Askjeffwilliams Do what we did excavating under houses. Buy 10' lengths of cheap pvc drain pipe for a couple bucks a stick. We've pulled dirt through a couple hundred yards of pipe. Put an easy to make cyclone filter made from a 55 gallon drum right in front of the vacuum. Good luck you loco hombre.
I appreciated "the riddle of steel"
Thanks for the video. Your a man of many talents.!
Thanks John
Dang ! Learned some more nuggets of knowledge from Professor Jeff ! Thank you. What's next .. platinum mining & processing ?
Very cool video I can dig it I love that craziness you got man thanks for teaching us really awesome video lot of work goes into making silver pure
thanks and you betcha
How many galena and how many silver you got? Thanks
How.much lead and zinc metal quantity mix
That was truly fantastic JEFF..
Hi Ho Silver..Away..
So come on let’s go make some Silver Projectiles for the Vampire slayers ..!!
Thanks for sharing Jeff..
Cheers Famo59.👍🤓🍺⛏
Gotta love a little sulfur dioxide in the mornin
whaaaaah whaaaaaaaah
I see you are using Galena, my question is this. Can you use those lead weights they use to balance tires on a car?
no ...Galena has Silver alloyed with it
Thank you for give some outstanding information!
you bet Brian
Could you please tell what was that black powder you used while melting
Chapman Flux
Hey bro good job I like the kill did you make that yourself and do have instructions to build ?
yep we built the furnace ourselves.....got a vid on it too.
Hey what state are you in cuz i have a bunch of galena
AZ and NV
@@Askjeffwilliams damn. Im in Cali, not to far however far enough. I. Don't have the metal smelting equipment, so what do you suggest I do with all my Galena? An is the black glass part worth keeping too??? Or just toss it out?
10 : 1 ? Zinc or lead silver ?
Nice..
How many kilograms galena ore that you melt? And how about the silver?
I love you my dear friend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ parkeess process is the best I did like this process
With all the fumes that aren't good for me. What's a better way to get AG?
Like for the conan music
What exactly flax flacks flux you use?
Chapman Flux
I've never heard about galena. What is it, where does it come from, where do I find or mine it? Love your videos!
Look at the map west of Denver...
Von Fowler, you don't want to mess with galena. The dust on your hands is enough to cause mental problems, especially in kids eating candy or a sandwich. If you live near Nevada, there are gold deposits south of Battle Mountain that contain galena and the big boys won't touch it because of the galena contamination. Missouri is loaded with galena and so is Pennsylvania. Or just look at maps of lead contaminated public water supplies, and there you will probably find galena (or an old steel mill slag pile . . . slag is usually contaminated with up to 10% lead). Fortunately lead is quite insoluble or we would have entire communities with mentally deficient people.
@@richardrobertson1331 thank you sir
conan is awesome
I like these
thanks
Wow! So much work to get the silver out. Interesting process though. I'm with you Jeff, id rather stick to gold mining!
exactly
Slim and Jeff hope y'all have an awesome holiday season slam I wanted one of your rings thay was done sold out soon as I went to click on it that's the way the cookie goes love you guys stay safe keep up the awesome content your friend Keith out of Asheville North Carolina
Thanks Keith.......you too my friend and who knows maybe one day the Slim ring will make a come back....
Make sure to leave your hole open until you are through , just in case you breath the fumes , you will already have your grave started..💀...
That's super cool knowledge, but wow, there's a lot of work that goes into that..😃👍thanks for sharing..
Even caveman like fire, fire good.....
Shiney even better
That Conan music
that's good '' better jeff
Galena is the ore of lead Pbs
Would be nice toó if you make one exactly...but from gold!!!
working on it
Hello engineer, where is your gun 😁😁😁 It is not with you today, this video you posted, was the stone that you ate a stone containing lead or a stone containing silver sulphide, what kind of stone was it that you ate??
galena is PbS2, How the hell does the silver come from? Is that a good joke Jeffy?
maybe this link will help. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_mining
uldy muldy, most of the silver produced today is a byproduct of copper and gold mining. It doesn't pay to process galena for its silver content, by comparison. Once lead is touched by a mining or milling company, they are responsible for that lead contaminated waste forever, or until they go out of business and have no assets for the EPA to go after. Silver, however, is mined directly in only one mine that I am aware of; it's a large granite mine owned by a Canadian mining company with a huge mine outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. Once a year they let the public in for one day and it is very impressive! I believe it's called the Empire Mine and it is clean, modern and spacious and their security is super tight.
That silver will eventually be worth $1,000 an ounce when the Fed gets done stimulating the economy.
You bet!
I did this with galena from the Cronin mine in Northwest BC. I really recommend not doing this its so easy to poison your self. There are a lot of other cleaner ways to get the silver out
Yep I agree but had to show the old way
nutz
Me too Jeff lol
I wish I could find gold in ohio.!!!
thanks for sharing the vid Jeff we all love them! and thanks for your support and thanks to all your viewers gofundme.com/equine-therapy-for-disabled-vets
you betcha.
Hey Jeff,
I´m from Germany and not familiar with the US law, but I think I´ve heard in another video on youtube that it is illegal to destroy currency. So maybe you should´t recommend to use pennies as source for the zink... Just my 2 cents :P
I cant tell if this is the most educational excelence ive seen or if my iq is falling... or both. it might be both. you somehow took something really smart and made it sound... well i dont wanna be rude and say dumb but... not smart. Like... i like chemistry and chemistry people sound like chemistry people and not like... you. good job much informational
Very interesting, I like the way you presented this video , quick and informative, excellent ☠️👍
So it takes $200 in labor to have $40 in silver? That sounds like a Government job, where do I sign?
Yeah i like these classic episodes.
me too
Do Not Try This At Home. Yeah right. I'm getting all the things I need together right now!
And Hugh E was never heard from again :P
🤣🤣
I watched this specifically to see if it was the way I thought I could refine it at home.
Note: dont breathe the fumes!
so freaking cool, you are a treasure chest of knowledge. Thanks, and where's slims lazy ass lately?
Thanks Alan and Sleeping on his pile of Gold like Mcscrooge duck ....as usual.....
Seems like silver should cost more than $15oz
PHARRAOH Hi !! I don’t know what flux is ?? How can i get it pls!!!
@@lazypooh5457 flux is somethin used to make metals come together, use borax
I'm thinking it costs more to process the galena into silver than the silver is worth. You'd have to do that on a large scale to make it worthwhile, huh. Good stuff! Cheers, Chris.
pretty much
@@Askjeffwilliams 6:35 "I wish that is Gold"?
Are you saying you don't know about the Gold? cuz I think you lie if u said so.
That is the both the ugliest silver bar that I have ever seen and the most beautiful! Thanks for the vid!
Yes, be careful about such processes.
Thank you Jeff, Slim & Crew.
Thanks and we will
Price of charcoal, gas, flux, and crucible $100. $32 worth of silver...priceless!
Turning Lead into Silver !! Oh Yeah!
Bring a chemical mask for all them fumes! Keep up wind and well ventilated
Great way to make a pile a lead into Cash! Great!! Video!!
That is a lot of steps just for silver. I live close to a old huge mine called Wilbert mine in butte County it produced over half million ounces of silver and equal amount of lead. Its all but gone now but still has lots of old structures still standing
This shows how under valued silver is. I think it is worth $300 an oz lol
Dam you had to do alot of work!!
Thank you👍
Mmmm just like mama used to make!
You should go back and take a look at El Dorado County Coloma and also Placer County's got some pretty cool history as well
Same kind of PPE when welding galvanized metal.
Zinc shakes sound permanent.
Thank you Jeff , Slim & Crew
For this episode , and I am really
Needs from you writing the Recipes step by step guide me I am beginner and declare what's the salt you mix turns lead to blue colored and the Ratio ,,
2nd
Any salt of zinc you mix with silver to turn it into GOLD and the Ratio
Please
I am really thankful to you forever
Waiting your good replies
Please let me knew HOW TO turn lead into GOLD ,,, clear steps please ,,,
I see you my leader TO this hard working ..
I will be thankful l to u forever .
Please Jeff and, Slim and crew
You are my lost leader and teachers
What happened if you help me ??
Yah
You will lighting my life to grace to passing the damn lifestyle, charge ,change to better ..
And you being exactly my guide
..
I truly do appreciate you and all your videos. Thank you for the effort and time put into each of them. Hopefully one day I'll be able to use what I've learned.
you betcha and thanks
I have a feeling that the cost of the materials involved, the charcoal, carbon, flux, zinc and fuel to melt the ingot, cost much more than you got in silver at the end....
yes but this was just for proof of concept
@@Askjeffwilliams , Oh, I know. Unless there is an actual full-scale mining company, I don't see how mining silver profitably (and safely) is feasible....
Why not just use an acid strip. 1:1 nitric acid and distilled water to dissolve the the lead silver alloy and use sodium metabisulfate and copper to reatomized the silver into a fine powder. Then melt it down into a solid chunk of pure silver.
My compliments to chef Jeff. Those are the best cupcakes ever.
yum yum
The Conan theme in the background makes this video
Wow you should add more videos for different gold extraction processes. That was great Jeff
we are working on it ...
Where is that Slim!
Making you do all the work! :)
always.
Slim most likely was hiding and waiting for when Jeff wasn't looking!!! He was gonna nab that silver.
sub# 24472!! Love your video's Jeff!! Please stay connected!!
Thanks
Hi Jeff. I totally love your video's. You and slim are awesome. I wish i was out there with you and slim mining for gold but in the mean time. This was a really good trio of footage on silver mining and how it is done with safety notes so the people that will actually try this don't kill them selves. I was wanting to ask about platinum mining and if there are any platinum deposits so you could show how that process works. That would be awesome.
Thanks Dan....we really don't do Platinum my friend.....Gold only with a little Silver...
How many galena and how many silver you got? Thanks
نريدالسماح بتنزيل الفيديو❤😂
great video,,,,,,,,i have lots of silver,,,,and copper,,,,,,
ARG I need to move out of this apartment and get into a house so I can start having some more fun
well then you know what I am gonna say huh...
Very nice explanation of the process .Educative .
The title is very wrong because this is not the conversion of lead into silver.... Rather, this is the method of extracting silver from lead
CAN YOU LEARN THE PARKES PROCESS METHOD OF REMOVING SILVER FROM LEAD?..
Loving the Conan Soundtrack in the background!
how would you keep the lead out of the galena and all of the rest of the minerals
So after all is said and done about what % is the Silver 80%, 90% or ? Don't you get some Silver off the top when you're smelting your Gold?
I guess the medieval notion of the philosophers stone is still an innovative enterprise
I SHOULD HAVE LEARNED THE PARKES PROCESS OF GETTING SILVER FROM LEAD…
I want to preface this by saying that I don't have any videos, and I appreciate the effort of those that take their time to make them. That said, this was one of the most annoying running commentaries I've heard. You really should consider doing the non talking type of videos, or change up your approach.
I know I'm going to get comments for being mean and tearing you down, but that is not my intent.
Good luck moving forward, I hope you develop a style that brings you lots of money, this just wasn't it for me.
Title should not induce ideas of alchemy being a thing as it does. You can not turn lead into silver. you are simply separating silver and lead from raw material from the ground. At no point does an element turn into another element except for radioactive decay and inside the heart of stars through the process of fusion. How many kids do you think have seen this title and then told their friends there is a way to make silver from Lead? If we are not 100 percent correct in the use of our language then the generation that learns from us will not be able to. Thus, we need to strive, as a country, for perfection in the use of our language so that our next generation with learn to do the same.
Pyro might not be the way , as in full prosses . part of it no doubt. the lead can come in handy . But don't mistake my words as to discredit ,this is wonderful knowledge if you are a creature of understanding. Yk " wtf going on here" then dev your own exploits. And dont try this at home. Do it at a friends house . that way if it burns down or becomes to toxic , you can just go home... The friend should of known when you knocked out his utillitys digging the whole in the ground..
OMG why do adults rant and cackle on like a mental impaired person thats drunk and whos been breathing to many toxic fumes..manOman penny are zinc from 1983
Maybe you can help me. I ve heard a million times if your silver sticks to a magnet its not real. I have alot of hallmarked sterling even reputable makers that show some attraction. I have been studying the process to see if the makers are just not using proper ratios or base metals. What else could cause it to attract to a magnet?
Jeff, for that last zinc boil-off furnace process, if you make your own crucibles using lots of bone meal, any lead left over in the silver will flow into the crucible wall and bind with the calcium phosphate. I am not suggesting you do it because then you have lead contaminated crucibles, and what do you do with them? Just a thought, not a suggestion.
thanks Richard.......yes you can do that with magnesite too....thanks
Price of Silver on the rise. Ya might get folks trying this in the near future. Looks an awful lot of work though
I think just roadting in high temperature will make the lead
