You may have been in a hurry on this one, Sreetips, but in my opinion it was one of the cleanest, most impressive refining you've ever posted. Truly wonderful stuff, sir!
I love when you post a late video, and to find out it's a large melt all the better. Your yield estimate was nearly perfect . Your Silver jar is full again so we got that to look forward to. Thank you ❤️
@@nikolajwinther5955 Look at 26:17 - they are near perfectly circular and share the same centre point with different radii so concentric. That's why it looks just stunning. Agreed, the eccentricity of the outer ellipses are of course < 1 hence eccentric.
The chain of silver coming out with the tangle of other stuff on the end when you were inquarting gave me a vivid flashback of the magnet fishing game I had as a kid.
Hello Mrs and Mr sreetips. I take a break from washing the floor, and toilets... and halleluja.. a clip from the best gold refining on TH-cam 🎉. Whis everybody a great day,and God bless. Arne 🇳🇴
Failed at my first gold recovery of CPU's...lol. Looking for Gold Scrap on ebay to melt down next in my furnace! Just started this adventure! Thank you for the great vids! I uploaded some myself on my channel! Much love!
Recycle it, man the gold is still there. That's the beauty of chemistry. If you didn't incinerate the gold ,literally burned it away, it should be in the material you have left.
Dont buy the Ebay bars lol, they are a scam. Your failed cpu attempt is salvagable as long as u kept the acid. Check out the 'stock pot' series on this channel on how to cement out valuables from the acid waste.
@@osmia3561 I’ll check it out! Thanks! I have a Gallon of acid, with gold and silver contents. And about another gallon of gold flakes flaking off a Muriatic peroxide solution. Been frustrating at times but extremely cool!
I just love watching u work on your experiments with gold it is amazing and beautiful plus it looks so good and listening to u expanding everything u have to do it's so calming your voice fantastic job. 😊
I JUST watched a video on TH-cam about using heavily salted water 💧 and a small electric current in a stone dish using a piece of lead attached on negative terminal and a piece of copper made into a small bowl with positive attached to it and the gold plating came off in like 15 seconds he processed a lot of gold 😋 very quickly with that homemade setup. BY THE WAY GREAT VIDEO SREETIPS. 👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video, it still amazes me that you are able to mix the different carats and still get the gold out. Inquarting is the key but its still amazing. Thanks sreetips,stay safe✌️
That was a quick $5200 in a very nice bar, Sr. That was a good job. You always do pours right with really hot metal and a really hot mold. I've seen other TH-camrs pour nice, hot metal into a mold that's either cold or they just put a torch on it before the pour. The bars or rounds end up junky because the metal starts to freeze before it has even settled fully in the mold. You never do that. That bar is gorgeous. The pour lines are amazing.
Wow that ended up being a beautiful bar of gold luv watching I'm saving all my scrap and what I find at estate sales I'm getting a nice little collection
Video is well explained and put together out of all videos I’ve watched over last couple days yours I can clearly understand n doesn’t leave one guessing!!!
all your experience is showing your professionalism is what makes you successful and I always learn something new with every refining process you make available to us you are a treasure for my own aspirations in gold refining and a I am so glad you take the time to share your knowledge with us...thanks sreetips
Still waiting for you to take a piece of the inquarted gold and put a pinch on it with some pliers/channel-locks/vice grips after dissolving out the silver and base metals with nitric boils. Super curious to see how it reacts to pressure after having 3/4 of a flake's mass removed by nitric.
Yeah, maybe just poke it with a glass stir rod to keep everything clean, I'd enjoy seeing if cracks into pieces or disintegrates or if it's more squishy
Another beautiful bar! Even though your videos are longer than pretty much everyone, I still watch every single minute of every single one. Thanks for the content sreetips. Glad I found this channel recently 🙌
I was amazed that you only did a single refining to it with "aqua regia".. Unless you did a couple more off camera.. Nice Chunky Bar.. Thank you for sharing.. Always a delight to watch...
That’s what I’m talking about. Just wait until people realize that all their valuations are based on a mountain of debt. Then we won’t be able to find gold anywhere. When? Who knows? But it’s coming,
I have got bags of mixed gold and silver jewelry from a couple of inheritances, and in the past, I dealt with a lot of computer and mobile phone scrap etc, so I think my next step is refining.
With those amounts of gold, it would be nice when you would dry it before melting. The collor change of the gold is just sooo mesmorising… Aspecialy when it’s this pure, like you always menage!! Cheers Jo-Z
This has become the video channel i wait all week to watch. Can you do another video of scaring Mrs Sreetips that was incredibly funny. Love your work sir can't wait for the next video!
I have a suggestion for you: instead of casting shot, dumb your inquarted gold on a piece of polished stainless, and roll it down to les than half a millimeter, then cut strips of this to be dissolved in the acid. I don't know if this has been suggested before but it may make it easier for the acid to work it's magic rather than with chunky shots.
Questions! 1. The nitric you saved from the boils: it's obviously been 'used up' a bit, but does it lose more potency when you store it for future use? Is there a way to tell? 2. I wondered why you don't use that nitric to make Aqua Regia, and I think it's because you can't be sure of the concentration, so it might slow the reaction, is that right?
1) The nitric is still able to dissolve silver. I can tell because of the red fumes it evolves when added to the silver in my silver jar. 2) that nitric will have some silver in it. I’m trying to remove the silver so it’s best to use fresh nitric to make the aqua regia.
that ingot pattern is outa this world, very nice! have you ever tried it like the big refiners, by filling a mold with bb's and baking it in an oven with a cap?
That bar is perfectly shaped, and one of the best so far despite the little bit of scale. I know that it is a sin to covet, but I'll deal with the guilt anyway.

That's a very pretty piece of gold, and we could tell it was going to be good, you could see it before you even melted it, it was looking more gold and not quite so brown the way it usually is.
Hi Mr. Sreetips, Avid watcher here from Germany. Almost two weeks have gone by since your last video. I hope Mrs. Sreetips and you, as well as your family is doing fine.
What a gorgeous pour on that lovely ingot! I thought it was going to overflow your mould for sure. You always add sulphuric acid to precipitate out lead, but I've never seen it precipitate out. Have you ever had it happen?
The chance of lead being in the scrap is very low because lead is not normally used in gold jewelry. The only way is if someone, who didn’t know any better, used lead solder to do a repair. Doesn’t matter, I add the sulfuric just in case. I’ve never seen lead precipitate either. But the sulfuric hurts nothing, costs almost nothing, and provides a big benefit. Lead, even in trace amounts, ruins the ductility and malleability of gold. Better to add it, even if the presence of lead is not suspected, rather than not add it and risk getting a trace of lead in the gold.
When you pour the shot in the water, perhaps it would be beneficial to add ice to the bucket. Help break up the shot? How do you handle your chemical waste? Nice work.
And it looks so good I need to find out where to get the acids and powders and I'm pretty sure I could do that I wish I stay on science and chemistry that looks fun watching the chemicals and powders reacting to different metals breaking them down to liquid and they back solid pure bars definitely something I have to try
Hello, I find your videos fascinating; I am a subscriber and I watch them all. I have a question for you, if I may. Have you ever thought of refining gold by the Wohlwill process as some industrialists and jewelers do?
We are but a ripple in the pool of gold in this life!! That's a stunningly beautiful bar! Thanks for sharing your life an experience with us here!! ✌🏼💗😊👩🔬
I wonder how many stanis test strips it would take to recover a decent amount of gold that would be an interesting video... but this bar came out beautifully
??? What is the difference between 67% nitric lab grade and 68 to 70% acs reagent nitric for processing silver and gold. Your gold bar is one of your best looking.
ACS means American Chemical Standards meaning that an assay was performed and certified purity to certain standards. Industrial grade (technical grade) just means it hasn’t been tested as rigorously
So, after boil #2 there was a lot of nitric in the solution, would it be beneficial at that point to break up the gold and macerate it at all? Seems that the boils may be more effective (or maybe they weren’t needed) if it has better contact with the base metals and silver from gold mixtures. At the very least maybe that solution could also be recaptured for future boils to reduce expenses on the nitric acid purchases?
Breaking the gold up during nitric boils is not recommended. It causes the gold to form nano particles that suspend (or even worse colloidal gold) making separation of the silver solution difficult.
@@sreetips interesting. Didn’t know that but it’s good to know. What about recapturing some of that mixture for future nitric boils? Can you do that or is it too far gone by that point despite the vigorous reaction after pouring off the nitric boils from 2 and 3?
You may have been in a hurry on this one, Sreetips, but in my opinion it was one of the cleanest, most impressive refining you've ever posted. Truly wonderful stuff, sir!
Yes

Beautiful bar! Don’t know why but watching the silver melt during the inquartation is always so satisfying.
Beautiful job. Love how seamless the inquarting makes the process. That gold cleaned up really nicely
For a single refining that's amazing. Those concentric pour lines are just stunning too. Well done!!
Eccentric, but yes.

Every now and then I lite the mold torch a little too late and the bar forms ugly.
@sreetips is there such thing as heating the mold too early ? Or is a general rule you go by for time ?
I begin heating the mold as I begin the melt and it seems to work fine. A graphite mold can be overheated and the graphite will become deteriorated.
Your videos are always fascinating to watch. Seeing and hearing every step in the process. Never stop making these videos, my friend! 💪🏻
i was hoping this was going to be a 10 Hour video :)
Agree😊. Have a nice day.
Your best bar imo.
Great video. One of the most informative I have watched. You also have the creepiest voice I have ever heard. Congratulations!

No, that was once through the grinder. A second refining would have removed that little bit of surface discoloration.
Sreetips - this was one of your finest processes I've ever seen. So efficient, clean & your end product was truly beautiful. 87.5g of beauty.
You sure are pumping out the videos Sreetips. Awesome! Let’s get you to 1 Million Subs.
That’s what I’m talking about. Just wait until people realize that all their valuations are based on a mountain of debt. Then we won’t be able to find gold anywhere. When? Who knows? But it’s coming,
You should try and make your own nitric prob save 75% on nitric cost and would be awsome to see
And he would lose it again on labour costs, making nitric is time consuming.
If something happens and I can’t buy it anymore then I’ll probably learn how to make nitric acid. But until then it’s more convenient to buy it.
You’re welcome. You really dialled in to channel 24k with this one! Thank you Sir. 👍👍🤟
I really enjoy just watching and learning this process. Ty and keep up the good work!
Not sure why but these types of videos are so relaxing and satisfying to watch
I could watch this process again and again and again. You make this look easy even though it obviously isn't, I kinda wish this was my job lol
Thanks, for another great clip.
I am so impressed by the yield results you get vs predicted. Thanks for a great video!!

Hello, I find your videos fascinating; I am a subscriber and I watch them all. I have a question for you, if I may. Have you ever thought of refining gold by the Wohlwill process as some industrialists and jewelers do?
Yes, I have a couple videos of it on my channel. Just type “wohlwill” into the search block on my channel.
Would the process have gone quicker if you'd created more surface area in the inquarted gold by rolling it into a foil and cutting it into strips?
Yes, but that adds a lot more work. I’d rather let the chemicals do that work.
That was a perfect pour on that bar. Nice rounded beveled edges!
Getting the mold real hot is key to getting a good shape on the bar.
