So you shot it to make it faster to break down the silver for absorption into the silver cell correct? (If memory serves correct when you used coins it was slower?) if that’s the case why not grind it down to 40-50 minus so it absorbs quicker and the crystals grow larger faster? I have no clue that’s why I’m asking lol great recovery thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼
Not quite, so the slimes clog up the anode basket so i dissolve them and re - cement them along with any silver in solution. then i melt it into shot so its more bb size to run in the cell. reason i do that is to make it a consistent size (as much as possible which increases surface area. if you were to grind it into to fine of a material i would not run in the cell correct and quickly lead to clogging. I think i have run coins once and it didnt work very well because they kind of only dissolve on the exposed areas in the anode basket. when the coins are stacked on top of each other the touching faces dont really get exposed to the silver nitrate solution and dont dissolve as fast. i mainly use silver bullion to create the silver nitrate solution to start the silver cell in most cases. and if you recall those also contain contamination from the mints they are made at. Thanks !
@@Ltn.Immelmann Hello Peter, I’m no chemist that’s for sure. However, I can read what really smart people have already done and apply their well studied processes to do what is necessary for me to refine out a bit of hobby shiny!

@@VendettaProspecting All is good my friend! Just trying to get things going in the right direction so I can get back to what I love! Panning and hanging out with you and the community!
LoL lab rat making silver your always doing cool stuff good thing about it I just have to watch instead of saying ooops my mistake I did it again 😁👍🏾🌵😎
Nice video . Couple of questions Was that shot repoured ? It looked like a mountain in the pot. I run like to water in the pot and pour higher while pouring silver What was the input weight and how much crystal was collected ? I’m still trying to figure out the in vs, collected I run the electrolyte 125-1(0 g/L
No it wasn’t re-poured, I pour the molten metal on top of a rock and it beads off to the bottom of the metal tub. And I didn’t weight the amount of cement silver because it was still wet, nothing remained in the crucible so 349g was what I would assume the starting weight was or damn near it. Thanks for watching

@@VendettaProspecting cool thank you👍🏼👊🏼
Awesome job brother, crazy how all that works.
Tell me about it
Right On Mike, #GrowingSilverCrystals So cool!🚀💪👍🤙
#Yuba2024
Turns out so beautifully
Thanks Mandy
Good job Mike
Nice pile of AG too! 😁
Oh there's heat.. chemical heat! 🤪 😆
Thanks sir

Hey Matt, I think you're the best judge of what Mike is doing.
Sorry to you, I'm a layman 🤠
Bonds ripping apart with no where to run off to, all that can happen in this case is mercury rising! Amen brother and thanks as always
He is Peter

Very nice recovery of silver! Awesome video brother ✌️
Thanks 👍
Ohhhh Silver! And dang with the price it’s at now, Silvers hot baby!
Like lava bro
Heavy Metal 🎸🎸🎸
Rock on bro #ibpc
Heck yeah! 😍
Get it!❤🎉🎉❤
👍🚀🚀 yes sirrr
Heavy batch of silver braddah mahalo for sharing stay blessed and safe much Aloha to you and your ohana
Same to you!
The experiment is very good.
Thank you
Awesome show brother! Makes me want to go out and set up shop and do some Silver refining! It's been way to long!
You should! hope your well JJ!

Interesting video, friend. Warm greetings from Indonesian gold seekers 👍🔔🙏⛏️
Thanks
Awesome 💯
Thanks 🔥
My main man Metal Mike strikes again. Own those metals 🐕EEEEE 💪🤘🤙
Slimes to shine bro
Let's go!!!
Very cool man!
Nice video ya posted!! Heavy pans
@@VendettaProspecting that was fun bro for sure. Loved it

@@VendettaProspecting using a rock is is pretty crafty honestly , I got to try that with a smooth river rock. Damn good idea bro .
@@Hill-13 yes sir 😉 thank ya
