I like the addition of the clock because it keeps me from asking stupid questions like “how long does this or that take. I also like watching the stump out work. If you put 10 minutes worth of that in 1 video, I’d watch it for ASMR purposes ❤

Any chance in a future video you can do a cost/profit analysis of the refining in that video? For example, how much did the gold scrap cost you, the scrap silver used to inquart, the hydrochloric/ nitric/ sulfuric acids, and SMB?

@RollingRoadEFI 8 ай бұрын

He's done it before.

@williamfoote2888 8 ай бұрын

He’s never done it, to my knowledge. Nor would I ask him. It’s his ‘business’ not yours. The cost of equipment you can figure out on your own. The cost of chemicals you can estimate on your own. You can calculate the value of the produced Au. No one but God and Mrs S could know what was paid for the material. There’s volumes of worthless scrap, diverted stones of unknown value and the kicker: labor. He tells us this is a hobby and not a business, and he doesn’t tell us how much time he spends sorting the materials to make his inquartation calculation. That’s on top of the 12 hours he clocked to win these >3 OzT of Au. I’d peg his labor rate at $200/hour… 14-15 hours? Then count Mrs S estate sale hunting time and costs. Sreetips works hard at this…

The fume hood is good for human safety but also because nitric fumes will rust literally every piece of steel in your workshop, sink, pipes, etc. That stuff is really high on the corrosive scale. Also please don’t dump it down the sink or toilet, into the yard, sewer etc… Be like streetips and treat your waste properly. 👍🏻

That’s not recommended. Sterling has copper in it. It provides a wonderful color indicator. I’d lose that with using pure silver crystal because pure silver dissolved in nitric is colorless, like water.

it seems to me that adding the non reagent grade stump out adds impurities back in. Would it not be better to dissolve the stump, and filter it before adding it for precipitation? I would love to see it added slowly in ionic form to the gold and watch what happens with a stir bar.

@sreetips 8 ай бұрын

I’ve done it before, but it’s been a long time. Someone suggested pouring the gold into a sat solution of stump out. I might try that for my next gold refining video.

Honestly Im waiting for you to come up with a genius way of capturing the NO2 gas coming off of the nitric boils. You have a unique way of doing things, so I have confidence it'll be a cool setup. Why capture NO2? Because bubbling it through distilled/deionized water makes more nitric? (To answer the question preemptively for the audience : )

@williamfoote2888 8 ай бұрын

While NO2 is the major component, it’s not the only nitrogen oxide. That’s a mix of N2O5, NO, N2O4, too. It could be ported into his Ag recovery pot for one more ‘use’.

This is my hobby. Refining Precious metals is fun. I make good money. But I don’t refine other peoples metals. I only work on stuff that my wife and I find at local sales. This is what makes all this viable, finding metals to refine. I’d hate to have to do this for a living. Someone once said that if you turn your hobby into your work, then it becomes just that; work.

@sreetips 8 ай бұрын

To be viable you’d have to quit your accounting job and spend that time searching thrift stores, consignment shops, yard sales, estate sales, resale shops, flea markets etc. My wife does that for me. She gets up at 3:30am on Saturday and Sunday and goes to yard sales. Why so early? Because you got to be there first when they open up or else you get nothing. She (I sometimes go with her, but I can’t stand picking through dead peoples stuff) will arrive at 6am at an estate sale that starts at 8:30am just to be first in line. If it wasn’t for her, I’d have to go and punch a time clock slaving at a job to make someone else rich. I hate going out looking for metal but I love refining it. She loves getting up early and going to sales to find a good deal with gold and silver, but she hates refining the metals. We are a perfect match. So unless you have a constant source of precious metals to refine, buying all the equipment (a fume hood is a must, no way to do these reactions without one) and setting up a hobby-level refining operation would be a bit of a nuisance. Unless you’ve been bitten by a gold bug, like I have.

@yellowstonegaming 8 ай бұрын

@@sreetips oh yeah the gold bug is real haha. Been like that for over a decade now but in the country that i live in, its illegal to pull anything out of the ground (as the crown owns all mineral rights). So, i guess now the question is, am i better off refining my own gold or buy it off of someone like you? As im sure we all know the importance of owning some gold.. Thanks
