Adding the materials procurement portion to the beginning of the video was so delightful and made for a really good video. Following along with you while you found the pieces out in the wild and then watching the refinement made this like the most fascinating video I've seen of yours yet.
I fair GRINNED from start to finish of this video, thank you for including us in an obviously private chapter in the gold refining journey. you never fail to entertain and educate us.
I need to know the other process for the spring steel arms of the GF eyeglasses. I have ran them in my batches and it rarely ends well, the steel does not like to dissolve in nitric. Any help with this would be much appreciated Sreetips, you are the gold standard. because of you I’ve learned so much and have improved my yard sale and flea market yields. You are the man
Those need to boil in hydrochloric acid to soften the steel up. Then add just a few ml of nitric acid - AND NO MORE! Add too much nitric and there will be a delayed runaway reaction that will overflow even the tallest beaker. It’s very tricky.
WOW! BRAVO!! I had to come back to finish the last half of this video after I got off work. The way you precipitated the gold with gas was the coolest thing!
@sreetips I know that you save precious stones. Is there a market for them 🤔? I don't throw them out. I just don't have any way to determine what they actually are. What do you do with them? An old Brother in our church, John Bohman, who was the owner of Bohman Technology, Lancaster Pa. Bohman Tech taught jemoulogy and tool and die and hourology, clock making. He was an extremely proficient jemoulogist. He collected all types of stones. His evaluation with a loop was amazing! Probably, he was more accurate with his loop than any spectroanalysis. I still remember a prized Sapphire he had. Absolutely beautiful! Where do you market any precious stones you find? How difficult is it to become proficient in evaluating the stones you recover? I find this remarkably fascinating! Your constant fan, and friend, Wade
It was nice seeing You and the Mrs., on your excursions to gather the smalls of gold plated artifacts. Every time i watch your videos, i see new processes and equipment. I baffles me, when you say you're not an expert, yet, your more experienced than the average joe. Love your enthusiasm and Work/hobby. I'm 72, you're one cool dude for what you do.
So Gunny..... when you actually try to melt gold fill, you get a really nasty white smoke that sticks to the torch! Im guessing that it's from the base metals. This video has been really helpful! You burn them, you don't have them go molten! I watch. I learn, (supposedly, if im not in to big a rush to "Git er Done", not paying attention to the WHOLE video!). You are a true artist my friend! No more eating white smoke for Wade! YAY!! 😂😂😂😂 Sometimes, I amaze myself at my ability to get ALMOST all of the information I need. Sometimes it really is the little things....... Your constant fan, Wade
Correct, I heat the recovered gold foils to redness, but not to melt. This converts compounds that causes problems during the refining to insoluble material that can be easily filtered out. Skip the incineration step and the yield suffers greatly. Don’t know why, it just does.
@sreetips Well, I can definitely concur! I need to slow down and pay more attention! Luckily, I haven't had too many foils to mess up! Now, I have the process embedded in my cerebral cortex! Thanks again Gunny! You are a true friend! Wade
Good morning! Good to see you both out on the job. I have a hard time finding CorningWare, at least reasonably priced. I found a couple small gold items at the Salvation army. A few more grams and I think I will try my hand at gold refining for the first time.
I like watching the various solutions you can utilize to refined the gold. Would it be hard to stop the reaction when it's clear and hard to tell the difference between the dissolved gold solution and water?
I'm glad you included the "treasure hunt" portion of the process in your video. I always pass over the GF stuff when out treasure hunting because I didn't know that 3.5% of the weight was pure gold.
I’ve been waiting and wondering when you would post a new video…thank you !! One question from a newbie if you wouldn’t mind indulging me; what is the significance or purpose to incinerate the material before dissolving it in AR? Theoretically, if I skipped this step because I do not have an burn oven, would it affect the yield by a lot? Backstory: Inspired by watching you and reading hokes book and binging the GR forum and other pages related to refining, I started processing GF material as a hobby. Although I’ve never been able to achieve a 2.5% yield…in my most recent batch of GF material I started with 175g of GF material with an expected yield of 4.375g however when all was said and done I had a little over 2.5g of pure gold to show for the work. Any advice or tips are always appreciated ❤ ps: THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME FIND MY PASSION!!!
Yields will suffer if you skip the incineration. Incineration converts troublesome compounds into insoluble material that can be easily filtered out. I don’t fully understand why it’s so important. But it just is. I remember doing a batch of 700 grams of GF when I first started. Expecting about 16 grams of pure gold. Only got 7 grams. I skipped the incineration step. That made a believer out of me. You can burn the gold mud and foils with a small propane torch, flame turned down low so you don’t blow it out of the dish, in a melt dish if you don’t have a furnace. Either way, DO NOT SKIP THE INCINERATION STEP OR ELSE YOUR YIELDS WILL SUFFER.
@@sreetips I have an old toaster oven in the garage somewhere that heats up to about 450 F - would this fit the bill? Any tips or advice on how to by pass it’s temp sensor so it heats up more if that’s necessary? Thank you again Mr Sreetips for your in depth videos and advice - you really are a a legend and I look forward to binging all your up coming content.
@@sreetips we’re you able to recover the difference? I still have all the refining waste including the filter papers for every GF batch I’ve processed in the last year. Is it possible that the “lost” gold is sitting in my filters ? Or would it be in the refining waste waiting for me to cement out on copper…? Thank you 🙏🏼
22K gold leaf china plates, Gunny. It is so easy to recover. Granted, you need china plates in bulk to make it worth your while. We waited until they had a 75% off sale. Easy picking! Just saying.....
Check this out: the value of the gold has NOT gone up. It only appears to have increased. What’s really happened is the value of the currency that’s used to price the gold (US Dollar) has declined in value by so much (due to currency printing) that it takes much more of it to buy the same amount of gold. Same is true with the price of your home, groceries, and other goods. Most people just dont understand this, nor do they take the time to study it. And that’s what enables them (the currency printers) to pull it off. Slowly folks will begin to realize that the currency is nearly worthless, and there will be a scramble to convert it (the paper currency) into real assets, including gold and silver. How do you think that they will be able to control the bond market to keep interest rates low with this new rate cut? They must buy their own bonds to keep the price from collapsing and interest rates from skyrocketing. How will they pay for these bonds? They’ll use printed paper currency. And that means more price rises due to inflation of the currency (more currency printing). And everything will appear to rise in value. But it’s really the currency losing value (due to currency printing). This will go on and on until finally the currency will be utterly worthless. It’s the only “tool” that they (the currency printers) have left. Gold (and silver) don’t change. They are stable. So which would I rather stack? Paper currency in my savings. Or real money, real wealth: gold and silver. It’s a no-brainer, but only if you understand what’s really happening.
A complete video from finding gold to refining it using many different techniques in the span of an hour! If this is not vocational I don't know what is. Have you ever been interested in refining natural gold coming from claims or mines by any chance? (have to find the good people to team up with!) Congratulations on 300k subscribers too!
Finally found a male-end to male-end aux cord for my phone to use in the car, so I can hear over the car speakers and this was the first video I tried it out on. Lemme say, Mrs. and Mr. Sreetips in surround sound is wild 😁
How far out do you travel to find your material to process? I've just restarted gathering material again, relocated regions and purchased a house. It has a nice shop out back that I'm going to turn into my metals processing area. I only have about 80 pounds of unprocessed sterling and no gold. I need to get it going
She does all the gambling. I usually sit with her and rub her feet on my lap while she spins the dials. The clean up lady came by once and said, “we need more husbands like you in this place.”
So I really love watching your videos you’ve got me completely hooked on doing these projects. I have now accumulated about 50 g of pear gold I know it’s not anything in comparison to what you do, but I’m pretty happy with the outcome. I will not stop watching your videos, but I do have a question for you, I would like to purchase a couple of spray bottles or the white squirt bottles that you use to rinse out your beakers and what not can you tell me where you buy those and what size they are also, I would like to purchase another Bucknel the ceramic funnel can you tell me what size you use, I had purchased a glass funnel and I thought I was getting a bigger size and when I received it in the mail, I had to do nothing but laugh because what I purchased it looked like something that you would put in a dollhouse that a little kid would useso I definitely would like to purchase a larger size glass funnel as well. Keep up the good work and I will continue to watch your videos.
Excellent video sir I have always liked GF one can usually get it pretty cheap thank you for sharing this very enjoyable and informative video with us six stars brother
How do you treat the arms from the glasses ? You've shown millions of videos on your silver cell but I dont recall ever seeing you treat the arms with spring steel in them
I think a way to reduce the spattering would be to put some fine sand in the dish and set another dish on top of the sand. This would also make it take longer to heat up though.
@sreetips I think about a half inch depth of sand separating the two dishes would spread the heat out and make it more even across the whole surface. But like I said, with the sand insulator between the dishes, it will take longer to heat up.
Absolutely amazing. I love the golden color of the dissolved gold. If the Ferrous Sulfate only precipitates the gold out then would it be possible to have used the nitric and aqua regia to dissolve everything in the beginning and then just precipitate out only the gold?
I was selling scrap gold on eBay. I began to wonder what the buyers were doing with it. I began to look into refining myself. But there were no books, no publications, no periodicals, nothing. Then I stumbled on the goldrefiningforum.com and the rest is history. I made a short refining video and posted to my channel and forgot about it. A year later I did a search for “gold refining” and my video popped up. It had 92k views. I was flabbergasted. So I logged on to my channel and found that I had 1600 subscribers. I knew I’d struck digital gold, but only if I gave it away for free. Most refiners would rather take their refining secrets to the grave. I exploited this fact to have a successful TH-cam channel.
Question: how do you account for Moissanite when using the diamond tester? I was under the impression moissanite will pass a diamond tester…. At least “high quality” moissanite
Yes, moissanite will send the tester up into the diamond range, but it goes up slower than a real diamond does. Plus, you must adjust the scale up just a little to make it hit the diamond range. It’s tricky, but after you get the hang of it, it becomes easy to distinguish between moissanite and real diamond. A real diamond throws the tester up very quickly.

Good to see you back. I really like the videos where you show how the gold gets found.
Very fun to watch you and Mrs Sreetips find and purchase the jewelry and then see the whole refining process. Well done!
5 min into video and this is one of my favorite videos so far . Nice to see both of yall living life having fun

Streetips is livin' the dream. Good for you, man. Love your videos.
I love your longer videos. Thank you for taking the time to do these. It is much appreciated and such a nice way to relax the mind.
This is my favorite way you precipitate the gold out it looks so much cleaner plus the reaction is really cool and the gold just looks immaculate
I fair GRINNED from start to finish of this video, thank you for including us in an obviously private chapter in the gold refining journey. you never fail to entertain and educate us.
What a great show. Thank you Sir, and Ma'am. That last precipitation was amazing.
Beautiful shine on that bar. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking us to the flea market it was a blast! Loved the video, like always.
Love it!! Nice to see the wife's handy work. What a huge help for Mr.Streetips!!!
Awesome trip. It’s cool seeing that side of it too! Still my favorite refining channel!
The rarest gem Sreetips ever found was Mrs Sreetips 🧐. Bless you both and thanks for the content.
I'm # 700. Been great rides on your gold/silver trip. Thank you!
Good to see you and the Mrs having fun ! ❤
It'd be cool if you had some different kinds of molds you could actually pour the gold into and make little figurines and stuff that'd be cool
You two are a good team together

Also, I love seeing the reversed engineered glassware... Corning started making good stuff after roswell. Interesting
One last thing... any Alexandrite you get, I will buy. Any beryl is great at slowing light, especially when doped with a certain amount of silica.

I like watching the various solutions you can utilize to refined the gold. Would it be hard to stop the reaction when it's clear and hard to tell the difference between the dissolved gold solution and water?
Once it goes colorless, pulling the gas delivery tube out won’t stop the solution from going over to brown as the gold comes out of solution.
It was fascinating to see Mrs Sreetips at work and then enjoyable to watch you processing down all the gf items. 👍🏻
Thanks Arielle

Sometimes it spatters like that, other times it does not. I don’t know why it does that.

No, dirty solution and passivation would happen.

I knew I’d struck digital gold, but only if I gave it away for free. Most refiners would rather take their refining secrets to the grave. I exploited this fact to have a successful TH-cam channel.
Question: how do you account for Moissanite when using the diamond tester? I was under the impression moissanite will pass a diamond tester…. At least “high quality” moissanite
Yes, moissanite will send the tester up into the diamond range, but it goes up slower than a real diamond does. Plus, you must adjust the scale up just a little to make it hit the diamond range. It’s tricky, but after you get the hang of it, it becomes easy to distinguish between moissanite and real diamond. A real diamond throws the tester up very quickly.
This is bringing back bad momories...from the 80's. Lol.
I know, it’s not looking good for the currency, nor America. No matter who gets in there, the policy will be PRINT, BORROW AND SPEND.
