I absolutely love the way your refining videos are strictly business, there's no story telling, you don't mention your dinner plans, 100 percent right down to business, total professionalism. That said, this video where you're out interacting with folks offers a nice modest peek into the personal side of yourself, it makes me feel more connected, almost as if we are friends. Hearing your vernacular was certainly a treat! Seeing the excitement in your eyes warmed my soul. I hope you understand the magnitude of your channel, it's not just precious metal refining, it's wholesome, quality content that spreads knowledge! You have carved out a huge place in the hearts of every one of your subscribers and fans. We cherish you and the Mrs! Much, much love from Washington state and across the globe. I can't thank you enough for your contributions!! We love you!!
Back in the early 90's my grandfather would take me to a large, community flea market in Saco, Maine every weekend during the Summer. One such day, I was walking around looking at old GI Joe's I believe, when my grandfather came up behind me with a large 5 gallon bucket full of old coins. He ended up purchasing some tools and we were on our way. Later that day, after we got back to my grandparent's house and ate lunch, my grandfather took me down to his dedicated CB radio room in the basement where he had set the bucket full of coins. That's when I was introduced to precious metals. Slowly, my grandfather would grab a handful of coins and set them on his desktop for us to observe. Inside that 5 gallon bucket contained about a thousand Morgan Dollars that he had purchased for $2/coin. My grandfather has been gone for nearly three decades now, but those weekend flea market trips ignited a strong fire within me for collecting precious metals. FYI: I still have all the contents of that old 5 gallon bucket, as those coins have served as a foundation to my stacking over the years.
I HAVE 9 5 GALLON BUCKETS FULL OF CONSTITUTIONAL SILVER COINS PRE 1965 FROM MY DAYS OF HAVING LARGE PAPER ROUTES. I SAVED ALL THE SILVER DIMES QUARTERS AND HALF DOLLARS. STILL HAVE THEM ALL 1,211 LBS. TOTAL WEIGHT. ANY BUYERS MAKE OFFERS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s 90% silver so: 1211 pounds times 0.9 equals 1008.9 pounds of pure silver. 1008.9g times 453.5g per pound equals 457536 grams of pure silver. 457536g divided by 31.1g equals 14711 Troy ounces of pure silver. 14711 ozt times spot silver (29.08 on 31 Dec 2024) equals $427818 I pay 80% of spot so I’d be a buyer at (427818 x 0.8) equals $342k I hope my arithmetic is ok. At 90% of spot I’d pay $385k But first I’d try to talk the seller out of selling the silver. Just think how bad you’d feel when silver hits a hundred bucks, having sold it ALL at less than thirty! If you need cash now to buy food or pay bills then you can sell a little of the silver. But no need to sell it all. Unless there’s a good reason for doing so.
Man great change of video, something different i appreciate it. if anyone is wondering those little Silver lego building blocks are made by monarch precious metals, ,999 fine last time i check was around 33-35 an OZ quite a bit over spot but definitely cool to have some in the collection
Gunny...........! Once again Buddy, you are SPOT ON! We have a large local Flea Market, (in an emptied out ship mall with No AC 😅)! I showed my Linda this video and we ended up going! Twice, as they had 75% off for the holiday weekend! Yesterday, we spent $26.00. We left with a two partial sets of Sterling Silver Flatware, 81.653 ounces worth and some Silver plated platters. Not a bad investment! Today, we spent a bit more. I purchased 5 china sets, the least of which was 52 pieces, stamped, "22K gold", warrantied, on the back! All for $48.00! Yes, not much gold on these plates. I'm hoping that I might get a modest yield, maybe an ounce, from close to 300 dishes and platers. All thanks to MR AND MRS SREETIPS! Now, my Linda wants to start fanning out, hitting several flea markets each weakened! Estate sales are fun, however, the sales people who are running them are pretty savvy and know what they are selling, usually. We found, not so savvy at flea markets! All thanks to you and Mrs SREETIPS! Have a great holiday! Wade
I got practically every weekend to the flea market by me and buy from the same guy. He gives me good deals on silver and gold coins and bars cause he wants to move inventory. Thanks for showing us around.
What a great journey we all have been learning about metal refining to now seeing how to scout for metals in flea markets, love your work sir! You two make an amazing team together
Thank you for posting this, I know estate sales and other resell stores are hard to video in. I saw it and just before my girlfriend left to take a nap and get ready for work tonight (nurse), I threw it up on the TV for her to see. She said he did get a nice price for the coins, and it was nice to see people still going out at their age like we did this morning to a flea market. She also spotted a great deal for a bunch of gold platted stuff that had quite a bit of gold pressed in it. All I can say is her youth full outlook on life and I wonder why I let her hounding me for a year before giving into her dating me two years ago due to age.
Funny, I clicked on this by just seeing the title. The video started and I said "hey I know this voice"! I know exactly what you were thinking when you saw those big stainless steel pots. Super Cell. I can't wait to see that in action!!!!
@@William_Borgeson that is going to be one HUGE silver cell. He's going to have to have like two kilos of silver just in the electrolyte. My guess is it would make 8 to 9 kilos of silver per run. I can't wait to see that thing in action. It is going to be epic.
@@sreetips you could make it a silver cell. The side would grow faster then the bottom if the bottom even grows.. just make a U shaped thing that spins like once a day and the silver falls to the bottom.. it would probably be more than you would ever need though
That pot is awesome for making shot and you got a good price on the dimes. Make sure he didn't leave any good ones in there. I picked up a silver dime off the floor at Walmart last year. They generally stick out like a sore thumb when you see them. Thanks for taking us to the flea market. That was a fun trip!
damn, sree, you are an honest man in an unhonest world. Although just a gram... it's a gram, and you did the right thing in telling the seller to hold onto it if he doesn't need the cash value at 80%. Small moment in the real world made me appreciate you more.
Nice, I do the same thing at flea markets and garage sales. I recently got a 3.4oz sterling silver bud vase for $1, about 1/100th of it's silver value.
Mr. Sreetips, Been watching you for years and unfortunately changed my name due to being banned for COVID wrong think. Have a few pounds of material and my first gold run was metastatic ruined. Still have all pots and original material. Thanks for teaching me how to recover gold,/silver from other people's garbage.
I miss the east coast flea markets. Here in the pacific northwest, they call them “swap meets” and they are not as gritty and down to earth. Theres more people from asia, middle east, india with money who aggressively scour the meets and estate sales and buy up anything valuable. They would have wacko protesters about any live animals. Definitely a different culture and socioeconomic dynamic in the PNW vs Fl or places like NJ or PA fleamarkets
I remember I used to go to the Flea Markets in Fayetteville NC with my grandmother all the time, always looking for the coolest toy guns I could find. Now she is sick and bedridden, and I'm still right here with her. Cherish the time you have with your loved ones, you never know when it could be their time, or yours.
That is so true. My grandmother passed away in 2011 at age 94. I was fifty four years old and I called her every day the last few years of her life. I miss her.
We found a “pecan man” in Fayetteville flea market over Christmas holiday. He had big bags of shelled pecans. We bought one big bag, and two small. They were perfect, you can tell on the first chomp. Most store bought pecans are dark and not too tasty. These were very light colored and plump. I wish that we had bought more!
I’m surprised you paid full price on the dimes. But you got a good deal on the silver Lego. Those carry a nice little premium with collectors. Every flea market I’ve been to silver and gold from actual sellers is always overpriced. I only ever find deals on small lots of stuff tucked out of the way, or in the bottom of boxes.
This is all going into my savings. In 2000 silver was $4 then in 2011 up to $48. Just add a zero from what it is now; thirty up to $300 - it’s a mathematical certainty. Not because that metal is more valuable nor more scarce. It’s because THE CURRENCY IS DECLINING DUE TO MONEY PRINTING. So that it takes a boat load more of it to but the same amount of metal.
Mr streetips thank you for your service and thank you for the entertainment in your videos Is that the sunrise fleamarket the one with the circus in Ft Lauderdale
Thank you for the walk about! You found the silver lining. I took note the other day and see today that you’re now a touch over 1k from reaching 300k subs! 👍👍🤟
I remember when I had twenty eight thousand and thought that there can’t possibly be that many folks interested in gold refining. I’m grateful for what has been granted to me.
It’s not only the refining that has put a smile on my mug. Frankly it’s secondary, even tertiary to your dedication to the work you put into your video production, your appreciation to your audience (whom are sometimes audacious) and getting the occasional glimpse into your life outside of the main purpose of your channel (I find myself going back to the upload of your live musical performance with a great lyrical message and that FANTASTIC flute playing!) I’m grateful for the gear turning content you provide. Thank you, to you, your friends and your family, Sir!!!👍👍🤟
Loved this video! I knew immediately that stainless pot is going to be the new shot pot! I see we both use the same fancy designer money clip, hahaha! Although mine is rarely that full, its been my EDC for 20 years at least. Drivers license, debit card wrapped in pocket cash in a strong binder clip. Front pocket, pickpocket proof, and Ive never lost it, unlike the numerous times Ive lost bulky wallets in the past.
HI ! I haven't ever seen a flea market like this one here. Lots of foder for the silver cell eh. Great to see you my old friend. Looks like you are happy with your purchases. I made my vacuum chamber from a stainless pressure cooker. Works great. It is on one of my old videos.
@TomokosEnterprize Dean, unfortunately I lost interest in that project. And now one of my viewers has beat me to it. I can’t remember who, but they’ve created a lovely solid pure silver chess set. As I got into it I realized that it was a little more than I could handle. Casting is a whole different craft unto itself.
Wow a flea market in the USA looks exactly the same as the ones here in Canada, Full of overpriced junk with only a few treasures to be had. there are other similarities that are obvious but we can not openly talk about that anymore hahaha
Must have been flea market day. I picked up some Morgans at one of our local flea markets this morning. Thanks for another great video and it was nice to see you out of your laboratory.
Silver is currently at $29 and gold is $2500. And both are grossly undervalued due to paper gold and silver contracts crushing the spot price of each. Silver more so than gold. So all you have to do is add a zero to each to get a future fair value (priced in declining paper currency) of gold and silver. It doesn’t take a degree in economics or finance, it’s just common sense. And with a new round of currency printing coming on strong to suppress interest rates artificially, the world will be flooded with more American currency. This will push gold and silver even higher. Not because they are more scarce nor more valuable. But because of the decline in the value of the currency due to more money printing. People with lots of currency in their savings are going to lose. People with gold and silver in their savings are going to have those savings protected and their purchasing power retained. It’s really the only game in town. The last asset class standing: gold and silver.
sad to see the decline but it seriously lacked investment over the years.. instead of letting the internet tale their market share they should work with it.. have one company there doing the logistics and packing and make it a mini amazon like market, where each seller is connected to a system that helps them manage inventory and such, the foot traffic wouldnt matter so much. we need to keep local market hubs, these places give so many regular people independence, its a great place to start a small company and then move from.. but no one wants to run a market stall forever..
@scotts.2624 i grew up working at the produce stand that was at the very front center entrance with my grandad and aunt. I bagged and sold thousands of fruits and vegetables there from like 11-15 years old oh the latr 90s lol.
I visited a friend in western North Carolina last fall. He took me to a flea market that was very similar to this one. I found a cool vintage Lone Ranger and Tonto with their horses, saddles, and other accessories.
@@sreetips I spent My first two years in the Navy in school: electronics school at Great Lakes, nuclear power school at Bainbridge MD, hands on training at a nuclear prototype in Saratoga Springs, NY. Admiral Rickover's orders were that school days were to be 12 hours long. We got the other 12 hours off to eat and sleep.
I remember when flea markets were booming. They'd have them at the fair pretty much all year around. Every weekend. Miss them. Where I'm at, not a lot of that anymore and it sucks. Good finds though. 🤙🤙🤙💜💜💜💙💙💙
I stop going to flea market because the price is going up now and a lot of stuff has price now and it’s overpriced now.Flea market today is so much different from many years ago…
a 92 yr old lady in tombstone showed a painting with a cannonball size hole through it and the story is that during shootout with some very famous cowboys
Would like to see more content like that for those of us that don't know what to look for. I thought that was GF but because of you we all found out the it wasn't. Love everything your doing so very educational to the point that this is what I want to do when I retire. Awesome. Also would you mind hitting a couple of riffs for us.
This silver is going directly into my savings. Giving a summary in paper currency would be useless. Silver is real money, real wealth. Paper dollars are a money substitute and cannot be used to accurately value anything. Because they can be printed out of thin air.
@@sreetips ok, but on the other hand, it's good to know how much more silver you got by doing this as opposed to simply buying pure silver bars from an official source with that same money. At least i would be interested to know. I've been at some flea markets that really over price their stuff. Or items that are valued for reasons other than just the metal, like how those coins could be sold for more money to a coin collector than they could for just the value of the silver.
Silver is money. Paper dollars are currency. And when I trade currency for real money, I’m not expensing. Food, clothes, gas, rent, movie tickets, those are expenses. And I’ll never see any of that ever again once it’s gone. But not so with silver (and gold).
I refine gold. I use sterling silver, that I buy at estate sales, to refine the scrap gold. I recover the silver from that, melt into shot, and run it through my silver cell. Silver is a by-product of my gold refining. The cell converts the impure silver (about 980 parts per thousand silver) to high purity four nines fine (9999 parts per ten thousand) pure elemental silver metal. So I’m refining the impure silver, into high purity silver, not creating silver out of thin air. When it’s full, I harvest the pure silver crystal, put it away and forget about it. Then I repeat the whole thing again.
I have been following your channel, learning the process and doing things just like you do. This entire time, I had no idea you were in my neck of the woods
@@sreetips I was going to ask if you made Chief there or if she was a first command. My one tour was on the Robison DDG12. Made 3rd class quite quickly. 85-88
Is that the flea market off of I-85 near Braselton, GA? If it is, it has become a ghost town. I remember when you could hardly find a parking space on a Saturday.
That seems to be happening to every flea market. I’m not sure what’s causing this phenomenon. But I’d be willing to bet that it has something to do with the value of the currency decline. Paper dollars are fast becoming worthless.
@8bert9 gold would have to be re-priced up over a hundred grand in order for that to happen. Or, shrink the supply of dollars, not likely. But anything is possible.
New sub❤ I'll be watching everything you create... I want to get in the action of recovering precious material. Keep us informed and show us your tools and techniques that make you the master of recovery!
This place looks just like the Wagon wheel flea market in Florida. I haven't been to it in 20 years if that's the case. Funny how life plays out I actually own a brick and mortar gold shop now.
I absolutely love the way your refining videos are strictly business, there's no story telling, you don't mention your dinner plans, 100 percent right down to business, total professionalism. That said, this video where you're out interacting with folks offers a nice modest peek into the personal side of yourself, it makes me feel more connected, almost as if we are friends. Hearing your vernacular was certainly a treat! Seeing the excitement in your eyes warmed my soul. I hope you understand the magnitude of your channel, it's not just precious metal refining, it's wholesome, quality content that spreads knowledge! You have carved out a huge place in the hearts of every one of your subscribers and fans. We cherish you and the Mrs! Much, much love from Washington state and across the globe.

That’s is fantastic, thank you for this positive feedback.
Yay Mr and Mrs SREETIPS is taking us on a field trip. 👍🤙❤️

Back in the early 90's my grandfather would take me to a large, community flea market in Saco, Maine every weekend during the Summer. One such day, I was walking around looking at old GI Joe's I believe, when my grandfather came up behind me with a large 5 gallon bucket full of old coins. He ended up purchasing some tools and we were on our way. Later that day, after we got back to my grandparent's house and ate lunch, my grandfather took me down to his dedicated CB radio room in the basement where he had set the bucket full of coins. That's when I was introduced to precious metals. Slowly, my grandfather would grab a handful of coins and set them on his desktop for us to observe.

Yes, wonderful story. Precious metals are real money. Real wealth. Paper currency is a money substitute.
I HAVE 9 5 GALLON BUCKETS FULL OF CONSTITUTIONAL SILVER COINS PRE 1965 FROM MY DAYS OF HAVING LARGE PAPER ROUTES. I SAVED ALL THE SILVER DIMES QUARTERS AND HALF DOLLARS. STILL HAVE THEM ALL 1,211 LBS. TOTAL WEIGHT. ANY BUYERS MAKE OFFERS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You should hang on to your silver. I think that converting your silver to paper currency would be a bad move.
How much is it though
It’s 90% silver so: 1211 pounds times 0.9 equals 1008.9 pounds of pure silver.
1008.9g times 453.5g per pound equals 457536 grams of pure silver.
457536g divided by 31.1g equals 14711 Troy ounces of pure silver.
14711 ozt times spot silver (29.08 on 31 Dec 2024) equals $427818
I pay 80% of spot so I’d be a buyer at (427818 x 0.8) equals $342k
I hope my arithmetic is ok.
At 90% of spot I’d pay $385k
But first I’d try to talk the seller out of selling the silver. Just think how bad you’d feel when silver hits a hundred bucks, having sold it ALL at less than thirty! If you need cash now to buy food or pay bills then you can sell a little of the silver. But no need to sell it all. Unless there’s a good reason for doing so.

You're going to the wrong swapmeets. They got a big one out in Yakima that's more like you talk about.
Im baffled both at the price of that stainless pot and the peanuts.

Awesome field trip...not busy like it use to be in a lot of places...
Wow a flea market in the USA looks exactly the same as the ones here in Canada, Full of overpriced junk with only a few treasures to be had. there are other similarities that are obvious but we can not openly talk about that anymore hahaha
Right. The same think. Too overprice. 😂😂😂
Must have been flea market day. I picked up some Morgans at one of our local flea markets this morning. Thanks for another great video and it was nice to see you out of your laboratory.
His Morgans were fifty each
@sreetips man I remember when they were $10 each. And that was kinda over priced then being silver was $5.00 per ounce.
Silver is currently at $29 and gold is $2500. And both are grossly undervalued due to paper gold and silver contracts crushing the spot price of each. Silver more so than gold. So all you have to do is add a zero to each to get a future fair value (priced in declining paper currency) of gold and silver. It doesn’t take a degree in economics or finance, it’s just common sense. And with a new round of currency printing coming on strong to suppress interest rates artificially, the world will be flooded with more American currency. This will push gold and silver even higher. Not because they are more scarce nor more valuable. But because of the decline in the value of the currency due to more money printing. People with lots of currency in their savings are going to lose. People with gold and silver in their savings are going to have those savings protected and their purchasing power retained. It’s really the only game in town. The last asset class standing: gold and silver.
Great video. Love to watch you work 😊 was that 14k test acid you used to test gold plating?
Yes, notice how it immediately chewed through the thin gold plating.
Love this walk-about, I like hunting through stalls like this in the UK.
HELLO FROM ST CLOUD MINNESOTA USA ☁️ 🇺🇸
HELLO ST CLOUD!
Thats my silver guy @ 55sec, hes a good guy and ive been deal with him for a long time, pretty cool seeing my local spot. Keep up the food work
Thankyou. Wish there was a flea market around me like that
0:37 gotta love all the stolen dewalt stuff
You are fair and make great buys. Respect.
Cool video. Interesting market.❤
sad to see the decline but it seriously lacked investment over the years.. instead of letting the internet tale their market share they should work with it.. have one company there doing the logistics and packing and make it a mini amazon like market, where each seller is connected to a system that helps them manage inventory and such, the foot traffic wouldnt matter so much. we need to keep local market hubs, these places give so many regular people independence, its a great place to start a small company and then move from.. but no one wants to run a market stall forever..
The "pin catch" is gold filled. So basically that little u shaped thing the pin goes into. A very very small amount.
That almost looks like the Anderson Jockey lot. In the late 80 early 90's that place was hopping.
The Jockeylot lol
@scotts.2624 i grew up working at the produce stand that was at the very front center entrance with my grandad and aunt. I bagged and sold thousands of fruits and vegetables there from like 11-15 years old oh the latr 90s lol.
That massive stainless steel pot would be the ultimate cathode for a silver cell!!
I visited a friend in western North Carolina last fall. He took me to a flea market that was very similar to this one. I found a cool vintage Lone Ranger and Tonto with their horses, saddles, and other accessories.
"💵 Woah, it's flyin away" 😅Such a boss! These sreetips missions are great! Definitely need more urban mining please!
Hey buddy, I love this. Do it more often please 🙏🏻 ❤
Bit surprised by that bicycle hospital, wasn't expecting that.
I could set up a table and sell “sreetips” gold bars.
Going off the hat you were Navy. Well we cant all be Marines. Sir thank you for serving.
The Navy was good to me. I was good to the Navy. I’m glad I did it. Thanks for your service, Marine!
@@sreetips uuuh rahhhhh
God bless you Sir🔥🙏
Way cool. It's been many years since I've been to a flea market. Thanks for sharing with us Sreetips 🤠🐉 God Bless 🙏
*sreetips* Looks like the *Red Barn* over in Bradenton. Thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along
THOSE BOXES OF SILVER COINS LOOK LIKE A KILLER SCORE TO BE MADE
I've been watching your sub numbers, Your doing great old friend.
Yes sir, I never dreamed that this many people would be interested in refining precious metals.
That was so interesting, I could have watched two hours more. Thank you. ;^)
I liked your ball cap. I spent 4 years on the USS Enterprise CVAN-65, Reactor Division, 1968 to 1972, in the Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club.
I was supposed to go nuclear but I was too much into partying with friends and lost my Nuc school at captains mast under Jeremy Boorda.
@@sreetips I spent My first two years in the Navy in school: electronics school at Great Lakes, nuclear power school at Bainbridge MD, hands on training at a nuclear prototype in Saratoga Springs, NY. Admiral Rickover's orders were that school days were to be 12 hours long. We got the other 12 hours off to eat and sleep.
I’m pretty smart, I probably could have made it.
I remember when flea markets were booming. They'd have them at the fair pretty much all year around. Every weekend. Miss them. Where I'm at, not a lot of that anymore and it sucks. Good finds though. 🤙🤙🤙💜💜💜💙💙💙
Picked up some dimes and quarters today too 👍👍
I can’t go wrong converting my currency into silver and gold. An opportunity like this may not happens again for hundreds of years.
I stop going to flea market because the price is going up now and a lot of stuff has price now and it’s overpriced now.Flea market today is so much different from many years ago…
a 92 yr old lady in tombstone showed a painting with a cannonball size hole through it and the story is that during shootout with some very famous cowboys
I'd love to see videos similar to this or estate sales once a month.
Noted, thank you
I knew I had more in common with Sreetips that I already knew... we use the same fancy money clip, lol.
Would like to see more content like that for those of us that don't know what to look for. I thought that was GF but because of you we all found out the it wasn't. Love everything your doing so very educational to the point that this is what I want to do when I retire. Awesome. Also would you mind hitting a couple of riffs for us.
❤ thanks for the video ❤
😂that was fun, I like flea markets and yard sales👍.
Although it seems it's getting harder to find the "old" silver items 😁
Soon it will become impossible
It's disgusting how they sell animals like that, poor creatures
I had to fast forward that part lol
You smooth on those silver purchases
Extraordinary video sreetips, thank you!
Love your videos, don’t know your location- but that felt like NC.
that voice tell me he in the south maybe even SC. Or he puts it on just for us but you cant put on the market.
I think it’s the Jockey Lot in SC…
Ladson SC
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!
Goooood afternoon!
God bless you my friend 🌺
@@Arne-ns2mw Hello Arne! Have a wonderful weekend!
@@DavidDavis-fishing Thank you. Same to you 🌺
Hello Mrs and Mr Sreetips.
Thank you for a very nice clip. God bless you🌺🌺
Need a summary at the end on how much you spent and how much value you recieved in metals
This silver is going directly into my savings. Giving a summary in paper currency would be useless. Silver is real money, real wealth. Paper dollars are a money substitute and cannot be used to accurately value anything. Because they can be printed out of thin air.
@@sreetips ok, but on the other hand, it's good to know how much more silver you got by doing this as opposed to simply buying pure silver bars from an official source with that same money.
At least i would be interested to know.
I've been at some flea markets that really over price their stuff. Or items that are valued for reasons other than just the metal, like how those coins could be sold for more money to a coin collector than they could for just the value of the silver.
Silver is money. Paper dollars are currency. And when I trade currency for real money, I’m not expensing. Food, clothes, gas, rent, movie tickets, those are expenses. And I’ll never see any of that ever again once it’s gone. But not so with silver (and gold).
I refine gold. I use sterling silver, that I buy at estate sales, to refine the scrap gold. I recover the silver from that, melt into shot, and run it through my silver cell. Silver is a by-product of my gold refining. The cell converts the impure silver (about 980 parts per thousand silver) to high purity four nines fine (9999 parts per ten thousand) pure elemental silver metal. So I’m refining the impure silver, into high purity silver, not creating silver out of thin air. When it’s full, I harvest the pure silver crystal, put it away and forget about it. Then I repeat the whole thing again.
Big like and thank you so much for sharing! Excellent video!
I have been following your channel, learning the process and doing things just like you do. This entire time, I had no idea you were in my neck of the woods
It’s a small world.
@@sreetips I started following you because I was interested in the chemistry, nothing else. Now I'm interested in Au :)
Gold!
@@sreetips by the way, what is the concentration of the Nitric Acid that you use?
Label on the bottle says assay 68% to 70%
Great to see the USS Semmes ballcap.
I made Chief on Semmes.
@@sreetips I was going to ask if you made Chief there or if she was a first command. My one tour was on the Robison DDG12. Made 3rd class quite quickly. 85-88
Man i wish taiwan had markets i could hit like that. I miss those back home
Soon silver might be hard to find !!! Good hunt brother
Is that the flea market off of I-85 near Braselton, GA? If it is, it has become a ghost town. I remember when you could hardly find a parking space on a Saturday.
That seems to be happening to every flea market. I’m not sure what’s causing this phenomenon. But I’d be willing to bet that it has something to do with the value of the currency decline. Paper dollars are fast becoming worthless.
@@sreetips Yeah, sad but true! We need a gold backed currency again.
@8bert9 gold would have to be re-priced up over a hundred grand in order for that to happen. Or, shrink the supply of dollars, not likely. But anything is possible.
@@sreetips It is a bad situation. The Fed has created so much money we are paying over a trillion dollars a year in interest.
We have them big pots down here in Louisiana a dime a dozen some are stainless some are aluminum
New sub❤ I'll be watching everything you create... I want to get in the action of recovering precious material. Keep us informed and show us your tools and techniques that make you the master of recovery!
It’s all in the videos (including my mistakes) I’ve left nothing out.
Good vid
This place looks just like the Wagon wheel flea market in Florida. I haven't been to it in 20 years if that's the case. Funny how life plays out I actually own a brick and mortar gold shop now.
No flea markets like this around my area - wish there were - look like fun and lots of interesting items.
