Nice one! But cement silver only 99-98% pure. Silver jewelry is carrier of platinum group metals, and copper cement out these metals as well. You only got .999 s fine if you go with the chloride method or melt the cement silver into shots and run trough the silver cell. Thanks for sharing!
The chloride (lye and sugar) method won’t produce 999s either. You just add 2 steps to the process to wind up with the same cement silver with the same 1-2% copper contamination. Only the silver cell produces 999+.
@@CuttinEJ incorrect. If you have any copper or other contamination you didn't rinse correctly. I have never had sugar lye process come back less than three nines. It's a real simple way to test for copper presence and that's testing the rinse with ammonia. It will show even minute presence of copper. Copper does not form chlorides from a nitrate solution. If you ever have that as a contamination you didn't rinse properly or you reintroduced it.
listening to the kid “cool story bro” his way back into the house makes me miss those cool things my pops tried to show me when I was a kid punch right into the feelies
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time! Has me fascinated with silver and the purities, the silver market as well. If you tested these bars would they come up as 999? I read the other comment about the jewelry having some kind of impurities in them
Fascinating video! Very well explained and just so cool. I like that this is a refining and silver pour video all in one- smashed the like button 👍 👍🙌!!
