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.
@@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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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 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
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!
This. About the first things you learn in school chemistry class is to always wear protective gear (the labcoat is not just for show), always keep your workstation clean and *never* pour towards yourself. Sketchy af.
That was totally amazing I won't be rushing out to procure the equipment to try this at home but it was sure worth the view to say the least this video is Platinum no pun intended because we know it's gold dyammmm well done !
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'm not feeling so bad now having to pay for the final finish in a gold bar or a coin either. So much work, I almost fell asleep watching... thanks foe the demo
Quite literally, liquid gold. Interesting. Never figured that precious metals would be taken to this level of processing. But there you go, learned something new today.

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?
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.
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
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?
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
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.

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
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!!

AWESOME... I USE TO DISSOLVE MY SMALL PIESES OF GOLD IN AQUA REGIA TO MAKE MY GOLD PLATING SOLUTION A FEW YEARS BACK, REALLY ENJOYED YOUR FULL VIDEO" YOUR CERTAINLY A GREAT REFINER... AWESOME WORK..
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 TH-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.
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.
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!
What goes around comes around / "GOLD" is a totally different kettle of "FISH" altogether. Great video. If only I had the facility Is witch to do the Industrial capabilities needed, but as said, GREAT vid, & vert Informative, many thanks!
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 ...
@sreetips I'm 40 years old and your videos made me remember my love for chemistry that I had in high school. Now I'm thinking in take a technical degree in chemistry lab thanks to you
You have done a great job. I love your video. @sreetips why didn't you use electrolyze to refined it even more or the gold is so pure that there is no point in dong it ?
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?
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.
Now I realize my high school Chemistry classes were missing some important chapters.

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.
this kept showing up in my recommendations, i decided to give it a shot and i'm not disappointed
Wish they did this kinda thing when at school. I might have paid attention! GREAT VIDEO 🤘🏼
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!
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
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!!
Ive watched this episode 4 times and it never gets old.Uncle sreetips is the best keep it up
This was very cool to watch. Thanks for uploading :)
37:57 "now were gonna move over here to the melt table." As the camera pans over two gasoline cans, a propane tank, and a slew of chemicals and aerosols in the near background.
Lmao I thought he was in some nice lab or shop or something lol. But nope in is garbage with a lawnmower lol
Proof he know how to handle the process, he did not blow anything up.
@@tlbx57 You never are 100% in control, shit happens. Whatever can happen will happen.
Murphy's law.
yeah....about that...
Hey, at least he’s being constructive and not being some shitbag meth cooker! Process on, I love this shit!
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..
Good job. Sreetips. Now I miss my high school chemistry teacher.
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.
It all comes together so beautifully! Just found your channel. Thinking about how and why we learn this stuff. My mind🤯😤💨life
AWESOME... I USE TO DISSOLVE MY SMALL PIESES OF GOLD IN AQUA REGIA TO MAKE MY GOLD PLATING SOLUTION A FEW YEARS BACK, REALLY ENJOYED YOUR FULL VIDEO" YOUR CERTAINLY A GREAT REFINER... AWESOME WORK..
Had a fish tank that looked the same as the gold did at the 33-minute mark. So amazing
Sitting here watching the most random vvideo I've ever seen...completely hooked...
"I'm going to add this to my stock pot" gonna be some hella good soup
That's what I kept thinking hah
Ya where’s this pot and where are all those missing kids? Also, lawnmower.
That bar is absolutely gorgeous i love the ripples
That GOLD bar!!!!!!!!!
Very nice job making such a Beautiful object!! Just beautiful 😍
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 TH-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...
i love how that gold forms from hot to solid in the water :D
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
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.
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!
What goes around comes around / "GOLD" is a totally different kettle of "FISH" altogether. Great video. If only I had the facility Is witch to do the Industrial capabilities needed, but as said, GREAT vid, & vert Informative, many thanks!
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
@sreetips I'm 40 years old and your videos made me remember my love for chemistry that I had in high school. Now I'm thinking in take a technical degree in chemistry lab thanks to you
Cool! I have zero formal chemistry training.
@@sreetips double kudos then!
Awesome knowledge. I really enjoyed watching. Best wishes brother.
What an amazing gold bar. There’s nothing like gold to gaze upon! 👍🇬🇧
You have done a great job. I love your video. @sreetips why didn't you use electrolyze to refined it even more or the gold is so pure that there is no point in dong it ?
@7:55 Graphrite RODDDD lol love when he says that...but doesn't he look like he could be Superman? The Christopher Reeve one?
Imagine having 30k of gold dissolved in liquid in an open container and just picking it up and moving it... terrifying
that solution was worth over $6 (close to 7) per milliliter... dayum.
If I spilt that I'd probably break up the foundation getting all the gold back
Now imagine that was 30k that you borrowed and have to pay back....... even if you spilled it all
@@CwazyWabbits *spilt.
Turn on spell correct bro
@@Freekniggers spilled and spilt are interchangeable and both correct.
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?
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.
Something very interesting to learn, even I probably will never do it myself.
