    The one off the back, but there was also a small chunk near the front bottom corner. Then you could see all the gold drops along the sides of the melt dish. A little borax along the sides and he might get a gram or so out of that melt dish.

    Did you notice the pan doing a little jiggle back and forth as the gold was drying? See at 5:00 when you remove the water. That jiggle comes from the heating coil on that hotplate. It turns on and off maintaining a certain temperature and when it heats and cools it expands and contracts moving the pan back and forth just a little as it does so. You would never see it without time-lapse. Another great series, Sr. I thank you again for sharing your hobby with all of us. It never gets old.

    I love all your videos. I am sitting here trying to think of how you can get more views and what other content you can do that fits into what you've already done. Gold videos: 1) extract gold from ore. 2) refine gold that was found in the ground (like from panning) 3) improve refining methods from the high view videos (gold fingers, computer scrap, plated stuff) Silver Videos: 1) automate silver refinement (maybe a screw conveyer or an auger that gets the silver out so it wont short), this might lead to different container shapes. Other videos: 1) Do amateur chemistry to make the chemicals you then use to refine gold/silver 2) jewelry prep. make improvements to speed/quality? 3) get copper out of waste solution and make something to sell to us. If I think of more I'll post in whatever the latest video is.

    Adding the note here now... @sreetips since it smelled like wood I am going to guess it was sulfur dichloride. Was there briefly a cherry red liquid? No, I did not see that since it was dry enough so that makes the allotrope a whitish gas and pungent like burning wood! Bingo! That is what it was, not trapped H2O in the powder gold at all. I stand corrected from my earlier comment of it being just traped H2O. It was trapped SCL2 (g). That is a nasty gas, would have been better to have your respirator on you old salt dog! It forms chlorine containing acids on contact with your damp mucous membranes and as a red liquid rather than a whitish gas is highly corrosive and toxic. As a gas it did little harm if you rinse your nose and mouth with 1/2 normal saline and an infant nose syringe made of soft rubber or now a days silicone -if not done you will have a bit of membrane peel and that would be the extent of it over the few times you were exposed, take care in the future to pulverize any gold sponge better while drying please or use a respirator as you have in the past. That explains the thick whitish gas discharged several times, make a note in the book so someone else reading it will be warned as well. Folks, all is well, this (gas precipitation) is the best method, still, it was a lesson for ALL. That is a great camera and lighting when I went back and looked it is just as I have heard it described by and in my uncle's crabby hand written notes.

    Great video as always! Hey, if you're looking for an idea for a video, I personally, would find something like this very interesting.: Before you begin, weigh everything, the jewelry, your jugs of acid, your water bottles for rinsing, your waste container, your silver/base metal container, etc., etc. etc. And then after all is complete, weigh everything again and see if there is a proper accounting for all the mass. Just wondering if maybe you could get an idea of how much of the mass is leaving via that brown vapor during the dissolving process and how much silver/base metals was recovered, etc. I'd imagine you might have to do some intermediate weighings too. For example, when you're drying the gold powder maybe you'd want to weigh it wet before drying so you know how much of the water you used from your water bottles for rinsing just went up in steam, as opposed to going into one of your waste receptacles. I don't know, maybe just me, but I think that would be kind of cool to see.

    He was relocating some of the gold during rinsing and pour offs into the waste refining stock pots, eventually that will be recovered, but to me that is a waste of time and resources if you've already got the gold nearly pure to pour it off into a lesser pure mix then means you are wasting that effort. Instead to pour it off into one dedicated container to let it settle out and then after it has settled out you could pour that solution off, but i think that would be a good base to see if you could work with just that solution to get the gold out without recontaminating it with other metals. I'm not sure how that would go, but perhaps some aquaregia and then an SO2 bubble precipitate... Also I've already mentioned that he's wasting a fair amount of nitric acid in later boils and rinses that could be reused for his initial acid boils. Pouring that into a silver stock pot loaded with sterling silver is a big waste of time and effort because later he's having to reprocess the silver out of those solutions again. Getting huge buckets of cemented silver to then reprocess again to remove the copper and other metals. Just adding extra work for himself. Sorry to harp on this, but I think it important to be efficient with time and resources. :) And sure if you are happy with what you are getting than you can easily ignore my thoughts, but for others who are reading along I think it worth to think about. I think of it this way, when working on a project I don't want to introduce more Gremlins by making it more of a mess. In gardening this means weeding from the uphill and upwind areas (energy and time flows and edges are important). In metal refining it means not doing things that push your results backwards towards the other contaminants if you can help it.

I had a small chemistry setup in my basement when I was about ten or twelve. But I abandoned it when I got in high school and discovered partying and girls. My current setup is a continuation of that time. Only now I can afford nicer stuff to practice with.

    The poison cloud gets exhausted outside away from my work area. You wouldn’t work on your car and in a closed garage with the motor running, would you? The poison cloud from the cars exhaust would concentrate and kill you. And the exhaust from an automobile is far more harmful to the atmosphere than my occasional chemistry experiments.

    I must say I’ve wondered how beautiful a “ gold cell “ of equal proportion as your old silver cell would look at harvest time I know that has to have crossed everyone’s mind and also since I’m asking this hypothetically would you feed 10k 14k etc through it ? And of course would it grow an insanely beautiful crystal forest? Hmm 🤔 I wonder 💭

    There’s a way to grow high purity gold crystals. But it’s complex and requires special apparatus. I can grow pure four nines gold in my electrolytic gold cell. But the gold doesn’t look the same as the silver crystal does. It’s more nodular. But still beautiful in its own rite.

    I sure hope you see this, I can't think of anyone else that might know the answer. I have an old gold plating kit from the 60's. Or early 70's , the 4oz bottle of plating solution leaked and soaked into about a 8 inch section of the cardboard, would you have any idea how I might be able to salvage it? Would there even be enough in it to be worth bothering with?

    I’ve no experience with gold plating solutions. But if it were mine, I’d cut the cardboard with the gold plating solution out, burn it to an ash in a melt dish, place the ash in a clean beaker and try a little Aqua Regia to see if I could detect and gold in the solution.

    It’s all pretty much the same process. Cement out the precious metals on copper in the stock pot, transfer the copper nitrate from that to the bucket full of angle iron to cement out the copper. Then all I have is an acidic iron solution. Add NaOH to pH9 to drop metal hydroxides, filter out the metal hydroxides, raise filtrate to pH7 (almost drinkable) then add to the normal waste stream. Nothing acidic or harmful gets poured down the drain or in the toilet.
