I made this bucket method per your specifications and it's been much better that using the peroxide diluting all the acid. Keep up having all my answers before I even have to ask the question. It's very appreciated

Well, I have about 100 lbs of boards now, im going to start removing the gold, thank brother, your videos have been inspirational

hi moose. i want to say that you are a genius. i like that you explain all the things that you do and you give very good advices. i am new in this but you inspired me a lot. i still have to learn much more things but you are great man. thanks for all the videos

Super cool ty for this!! P.S. Please don't stop the vids and scrapping, you rock!!!

I put the solution and pins on my grill and heating them up. It seems to be working better. I read some other comments of urs. Thanks so much I'm having fun so far. Its exciting.

Moose, this vid was awesome. I love your logical step by step explanations.

very nice and informative video, i like that bubbler method for reducing the likelyhood of gold loss.

I like your videos! To the point and VERY informative with a good and simple plan AND you are easy to listen to! BUT ... your garage does need a good cleaning!!!...lol...I can see how Gold Fever takes over! Who wants to clean anything ...BUT GOLD!!! Thank You!

VERY NICE...! WE WAITING FOR THE NEXT PART...! THANKS FROM GREECE...!

your videos are so helpful you touht me alot thanks for the tips

Excellent videos you make. Thank you for the info!

Thanks for another great video. So I decided to make my own bubler along the same lines as yours, but thanks to your advice, decided not to use nylon ties. Instead I just drilled a lot of small holes through a plastic disk, then threaded the tube up and down through it. Works really well.

Great Video! Thanks for the tips, I have a lot of old 486s to use these methods on.

Moose, i enjoy this a great deal, seeing a bag of gold plated material is nice, but watching you break it all down is exciting. i just cannot wait to watch you do some gold smelting!

Looks good man really enjoy the videos and the air looks to work great!

Haven't started scraping but your videos are awesome to watch. I am excited to try this! Keep up the great work!

Hi great work I just finished my bubbler , I'm using vinyl clear double polished sheet cut into strips for ties since the tubing is also vinyl this should work pretty good ! Wal-Mary stocks it in different thicknesses and cheap to , thanks for all your hard work and sometimes it pays off!! Well hopefully

Hey Moose Love your vids bro Just starting up my own recovery setup.

Not sure what's the difference but what you did I was able to do in less than an hour. Still figuring out what it is. Anyway, thanks. Great video, my man.

Great video, so informative!

Having a ball watching Moose. Got a couple of boxes of motherboards I picked up cheap ripped the coolers off and smelted then down into ingots now for the gold and just tuben around seeing whats out there without getting meself arrested for buying some stuff that I am not supposed to have(some chemicals are not good) so far your approach is for me approachable and understandable. I actually wrote an email to a bloke who had a website backyard chemistry one or two beer processes but unfortunately I got a reply from a mate of his saying he was no longer available due to a mishap in his lab miscalculated the process of beer perhaps lol.

Thanks for sharing!

thanks for the video, really awesome!

I just realized you need one small upgrade for your bucket... you need a set of holes at the top, or near the top around the sides/ Why? So you can get actual fluid flow through the bucket. If you just put air in the bottom, and let it bubble, the air will carry some acid up. The problem comes in when the air can't carry any more acid up because the liquid has no place to go... Think like the undergravel filter in an aquarium when the water is low. Yeah the bubbles will still go up but there's no place to carry the water to. So, by putting some holes in the sides of the bucket as high as practically possible with whatever liquid level you have, the air can then pump the acid through the fingers, and then out the sides and then actually circulate the fluid vs just aerating it. Basically it means it will increase the efficiency and speed because it's constantly pulling fresh acid through the fingers. Good video!

moose its great you tape everything you do! I'm waiting on the refineing that gold your doing..Great Job!!!Moose

You should have made a little motor contraption that helped shake/rotate the strainer bucket as well, on a stable constant rate, that would probably have sped up the entire process for several days.

That seems like a lot of work for such a small amount of gold. I find thousands of dollars worth of gold, silver, platinum and diamonds per year. Just by metal detecting at the beach. Is fun and easy. Millions of people go to the beach each day during the summer. And quite a few of them loose jewelry. It’s crazy what I find.

Hello Moose Scrapper I have enjoyed many of your videos, I was wondering what would be the equivalent UK version of the Crown Muriatic Acid Nxt you are using that has the low fumes. I am currently using the Hydrochloric Acid 36%, lots of fumes coming out. I am using the correct equipment breathing mask/ glass and gloves. but it would just make it a lot easier if I could get something similar to what you've got

This video was 1 of the first that I watched on gold recovery. I'm just coming to the end of my first year and I'm pleased to share with you that I have recovered just over 16 grams of gold from ram sticks. So I just wanted to say a big thank you for posting your videos. I wouldn't have such an interesting hobby if it hadn't been for you doing them. Merry Christmas and a happy New year to you Mr Moose!

Hey there, I like your video, however, please let me know if we can smelt the gold fins immediately after recovering them? Or do we essentially have to go through the refining process with nitric acid and sod metabsulphte ?

Another great vid moose!! can you pop one up of how you recharge the chemical for the next batch of fingers. cheers from the uk!!

I found a classic guitar in the trash. In great shape.needs one string some little marks but no big deal.

Great video, thanks for uploading. Do you have any experience with recovering the remaining gold from the trimmed chip? I got a big box of trimmed memory modules I'd hate to just throw away.

So for plated pins, the filter catches the particles? Thanks!

moose bro, we need videos this long, enough of them 2 min videos :)

here of the brazil Picture very good

a lot of hard work in scrapping to make good money.

I noticed in one of your videos your bench vise can be pulled open by hand. I think that means a bolt underneath has become unattached. Simply dismount the vice and look underneath. You should be able to reattach the nut and your voice will be working properly again

hey moose , here's a trick you can use to get more contaminates out of your gold . after you have recovered the foils , wash them in boiling water and the in boiling HCL .then do the drop . that will bring your gold up to a much higher purity .

Yes, I was referring to your lye video. Great info and it dawned on me tonight that those boards with all the gold lead holes could be gold throughout.... And thank you for the info on the CPU pins!! Would you do the gold plated connector pins/leads (from the cable connectors) the same way and with or without the CPU pins in the same batch?

Can you do the same with coins?.. Probably not, but Id thought I would ask..keep up with the awesome teachings.

Just a little tip for you the gold comes off the fingers easily with a flat head soldering iron

O método mais eficiente que encontrei foi a água desmineralizada, acido nítrico e calor.

What all could you use this process for other than fingers?

what about using some sort of tumbler instead of air bubbler to remove gold flakes?

Hi man I'm Hugo from South Africa. I've been following you with my friends and we think what you do is very interesting. We would like for you to help guide us as to establishing our own commercial plaint right here in South Africa. We already have a small scale recycling and waste management company and we would like to expand to e-waste.

Thanks Moose! You video makes it seem so easy, was it really? I am looking to remove some board gold to salvage for the flake only to "salt" my scouts gold panning boxes, would this work? I would love you to message me with your recipe! Plinker Don

Nice

OK Moose, I enjoy your videos very much as well as "dadrules714" & I have been scrapping about 40 years, off & on, but this gold is pretty new to me...I say to anyone asking about getting gold from scrap "Anything"... to keep itt a hobby view point and have fun with it...the economy and the metal markets move up or down daily, thus for " extra money" its OK...but as a full time business...its often Hard work to pay bills and make ends meet...like now with metal prices falling F A S T...a pickup truck or a utility trailer load of scrap tin hardly pays the fuel ...that being said...Thank You Moose for a great series of informative videos...BobC

i have some gold pins and gold fill, i put stuff in the muriatic acid but nothing really happening...do I need to add 3 to 1 part nitric acid?

The video would be a good one and very informative too, do you also have videos on cleaning the AP solution and how many times can it be usedThanks again

Heya Moose, i noted a couple of things in the video (a very nice and easy to understand video by the way), firstly in the headline you mention pins, but i only noticed fingers in the acctual video, would be very nice to see a video for a similiar simple process for pins. secondly you use the term AP several times, did i miss somethng or wasnt this all about hydrocloric and air ? no peroxide. Keep up the nice work, you are an inspiration for us beginners in the buisness :)

Hi and thanks for watching and commenting! I did not put pins in there for this video. I like to process things seperately. The title is to note that you can use this method to recover a variaty of things from gold fingers, plated pins, cell phone boards, etc. The term AP I do use, and I suppose that is a pit confusing. I am not adding hydrogen peroxide however I am adding oxygen with the air bubbler. When the process is completed, the chemical make up of this vs true AP is identical. Good catch!

@moosescrapper5928

8 жыл бұрын

+spoolin2500 hard to say, there are so many variables involved. Is it a 28 gram ingot from the foils off ram fingers or is it 28g of melted IDE pins that are often called fingers. If its the latter then there is not enough gold in it to pay for the chemicals. If its the first, then it would be even harder to determine because the foils can be different karats and may still have had copper on them when melted. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Hi moose I've watched some of your videos. Just wondering do you have a single video explains the complete process from start to finish or links to the individual videos I have the ram chips and the contacts from memory channels on the motherboards am I correct there is 2 processes for the 2 types?Thanks for your time

@moosescrapper5928

8 жыл бұрын

+mike Stafford Great question, I have had a lot of requests for a video like that but it would be a half our video at least. THe processes are roughly the same though you need to do them separately. There are three different materials here. You have the IC chips from the ram, the gold plated fingers on the ram chip, and the gold plated pins on the mother board where the ram chips connects. The gold plated pins neeed to be soaked in a 50/50 hcl peroxide solution. It takes days but the gold comes off. The trimmed fingers get soaked in HCL with an aior bubbler (preferred) or a ratio of no more than 4:1 hcl and peroxide. As for the IC's that is a multi step process that I am working on making the video for.

your freacken awesome, send the things that you think is not Gold

Great video and can't wait for the refining video. One thought about getting the foils off quicker though. What do you think about a rock tumbler method? I'd think that the agitation would help. Any thoughts?

@moosescrapper5928

9 жыл бұрын

Constant agitation will not speed it up that much and you run the ris kof hcl leaking and ruining the rock tumbler. I would use a rock tumbler with some steel ball bearings and throw in IC's and see how that works if I had a tumbler. Thanks for watching and commenting!

If gold leaches into ap solution....can you use smb to drop??

I think I mixed the hcl + bleach solution with some hcl + peroxide solution together....can I still precipitate the gold out with sodium metabisulfite? Thank you

Hello sir, i want to know about disposing off the acid peroxide solution after the whole process of recovering gold from gold fingers and what is the maximum quantity of gold fingers you have processed at a time and from that how much gold you are able to recover and is there any possibility that the acid peroxide solution may dissolve gold from the fingers if i keep the fingers say for 4 days in the solution and during the process is there any emission of harmful gases and can the gases be filtered by heavy duty air filters?

Awesome as usual, Moose! So basically, although you said do them in separate batches, all gold plated pins, etc. can be processed with this method along with all the fingers, cell phone boards, etc? Would you process the CPU pins this way as well? Wasn't sure if they would be different as they seem to be plated thicker (??). Thanks again for all the info and 1) can't wait til Spring to use your lye method for printed circuit /cell phone boards!

Hey there! The lye vide is already out! Check out my channel page. CPU pins are most easily processed by putting them in a beaker or coffee pot with some HCL (Muriatic acid) and boiled for about an hour. All the foils should come off and float on up to the top.

+moose scrapper do you still get some of the fumes from the acid with that type? I currently use Sunnyside Muriatic acid.
