I really love ❤the gold blink going on in the melting. Really cool. I have wanted to be present and see it myself, and I finally have!

Very cool, I'm still saving up my scraps. Thanks for sharing

This represents about 800 to 1000 random computer expansion cards. Don’t toss out the black chips… I am doing a video real soon about the gold value in the different ic chips.

Are you gonna share steps,procedures,quantities of liquids. Is that other material what you cut your fingers off of?

[@badideametals]

I share the steps in previous videos... but the basics:
1. Soak fingers in HCl for 1 week with O2 injected in with a bubbler
2. Rinse and isolate fingers with water
3. Refine using 3 parts HCl + 1 parts NHO3 until Au is in solution
4. Neutralize with Sufamic Acid
5. Drop Au with Sodium Metabisulfide
6. Rinse and Melt with the help of Borax
Those are the steps. The art of refinement is ratios, and filtering. But do be very careful when dealing with acids and heat. Accidents can be fatal. Always understand what can and will happen. Have a plan for when bad things to happen.

Why no close detail about the product you are using like a subs

[@badideametals]

Can you rephrase the question? It does not make sense to me. Sorry.
