I used this method and have recovered quite a bit of gold. I use a candle warmer to speed up the process. Cleaning it up has been time consuming because most of the gold flakes like to float at the top. I recommend let it settle before pouring it out. Great video and thank you for the directions..

Moose you're my hero! Seriously, you break it down so anyone can understand the process & have answered many questions I have had through your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work. You truly are performing a public service here, so many others would have to of found this out through trial & error, spilling acid, burning themselves & being involved in dangerous processes and you have saved me at least from a lot of that type of grief. Thanks again Mr. Moose, you're the greatest!

Thank you. Simplest gold recovery video I’ve seen yet and I’ve watched a ton. Very pleased with your video

cool. still proably a good idea to get a resperator. regardless of you running your vapour out the door. just lookin out for ya! interesting video.

bun film moose din comentarii am inteles solutia acid clorhidric 5 parti peroxid 1 este foarte buna nu dizolva aur care este sfatul tau ....multumesc anticipat

I liked seeing the whole process from start to finish in a single video. Glad you shared~ Keep up the good work!

I am fascinated. I had no idea that people were able to recover gold from finger boards and other objects. I probably would not be interested in doing something of this nature myself, but I sure live watching the videos on it. I thought it was a rather informative video. Will be watching more.

I liked it. Very informative

To the best of my knowledge, most gold recovery operations do not use AG to recover the foils from fingers. There is the possibility of ending up with more base metals than otherwise. Processing with A/P is also a whole lot cheaper as well. And safer lol!! Thanks for watching!

hi and thanks for watching. This is both! It can be a fairly inexpensive hobby, and it can be a decent money maker. I do this as a hobby. To make good money you would need a large volume of material to process, and i do mean large. I typically only run these processes twice a year when i have enough material to get a nice ingot at the end. You can get yourself set up to process a lot of differnt types of gold scrap for less than $150 and to break even would only need 3 grams of gold.

I enjoyed watching your videos. They were very educational. I especially like the part at the end where you talk about other videos and how others go about doing what you're doing differently. I love the way you are sharing with the world how to make money, whatever the amount. Keep up the good work!

Nice job sir thank you!

Hey moose is it ok to use air bubbler and AP

Thanks Moose, these are very clear and concise videos and I have learned a lot from them even though I,ve been scrapping many years.Thanks again.Jim.

You make it look easy. Thank you for taking the time to post it. I am interested in scrapping gold and silver.

Thanks for watching! The type is regular 3% H2O2. Found at any drug store or pharmacy. The volume ration is 2:1 acid:peroxide. Thanks

Hey there, just to let you know that I appreciate the time you have given. Some people are just not from the states, sorry about that. The video has helped me. Thanks

Issue #1, you never add water to acid, never ever. Peroxide is mostly water. Adding water to acid can cause explosions due to sudden heat generation. Always add the peroxide first, then slowly add the acid. It does not matter if you know the strength of the acid you are using. Always SAFETY First!!! This may not happen with the dilute concentrations you are using here, but why even take a risk that you could cause fires and or explosions if the acid you bought happened to be a lot stronger by accident of the manufacturer. This I remember from 9th-grade Chemistry taught by Mr. McClure ;)

My great grandfather name was Jasper McClure. Not sure who he was maybe different guy. Anyway, is it possible to dissolve a whole bag of pennies and then collect the copper somehow. I hear 1987 or older pennies every 1000 of them is worth 300 dollar in value? Smelting the final stage...?

@buggsy5

3 жыл бұрын

@@StevenHanover Yes, you could dissolve the pennies in acid and the selectively precipitate the copper. But the chemicals would cost more than the total amount that you could get for the copper. It was never true that US pennies were worth that much. At today's copper spot price, the 1983 and before pennies have a melt value of about $0.02 - in other words, double face value. So 1000 pennies would have a melt value of roughly $20.00. That is why there are so many copper pennies still in circulation, it just doesn't pay to melt them down as scrap.

It only comes in pure form for a large price and lots of red tape, or you can find it in Patio cleaner at a lower grade 27%approx.

HiMoose, I don't have any questions. I just wanted to say than for the bid, the info, and the technique because it has helped me a lot since I had a lot of old comp hardware that piled up. I had been curious over the last couple of years and wondered if the rumours about gold in comps was actually true. It is true and your method is the easiest, safest and best way to recover that lovely gold. Once again thank you and keep those vids coming!!!!!!

Thanks Moose. I am starting to recover gold from RAM sticks and experimenting with stripping the boards. I've been using sheers to trim the fingers and I hope the blisters are worth it. I've been lucky in getting my scrap for free so any yield will be great. Keep up the videos.

Nice video Moose, you took some of the mystery out of the process. I'm looking forward to more of these you're a great teacher

Great video. Gives me and my dad something to work on now. Thanks for taking the time to provide this.

Thanks for the compliments! I will make that video as soon as I get some of those tv's!

Thank you for making gold recovery more simpler

Great job , easy to follow instructions and clearly spoken !

Awesome!!! That is what I was looking for in a response!! Best of luck to you!

Thanks for being so informative. Clearly this is mainly a hobby for most because after all the time that is invested in this process a person could work for min. wage and make this small amount of money. Plus you stated its a mixture of 10, 12, 14kt so I can't see this being lucrative for myself. If I had time to burn then maybe so. Thanks once again for giving an estimate on the weight, it looked like 20 grams.

Hey no problem!! Thanks for watching!

Good video! Very informative and helpful, like your sense of humor!

Super cool video! One of the best out there for this process!

Sounds like a wicked smart man! Thanks for watching!

I like your videos, easy to understand and I'm eventually try this. I need to get people to give me there old electronics first. I'd like to see you melt what you have collected into a weighable form of gold. I'd also like to see what happens when you go to sell your gold, and how to find someone trustworthy to sell your gold to, and test the gold before selling it. Great videos, hope to see more

Thanks!! Is there a drastic difference between fingers from RAM and PCI cards?

That was cool, easy to follow. I saved it so i can refer to it when i am ready to try it. Show an easy way to test for gold silver etc. Thanks, again, ill be looking for your next one

If you leave solder in there, you change the outcome of the solution. A nasty gel can form trapping fold foils making it MUCH more difficult to recover. I find that those piece are typically very thin and easy to cut with a pair of scissors. I just cut out the large gold parts. Now also remember that those pieces are most likely flash plated, so the gold there is going to be EXTREMELY thin. Thanks!

This was great. Thanks for sharing. You were a good teacher here, without assuming any prior knowledge.

Hello first of all congratulations for the good job ur doing, ur experiment is very simple and clearly understandable from now on am one amongst ur fans am Samuel in East africa Tanzania

Thanks! I would normally do that however i am around it so little, I let the reaction occur outdoors and when inside I always have a fan blowing the vapors away. But you are right, there should be goggles and mask. Thanks for watching!

Just found you! Enjoying it! Thank you.

Could you refine the gold by either running the AP since refining is taking out base metals, or just cupell it with lead since the amount of copper is not too big?

Thanks very much, I am doing a lot of reearch and just picked up Hokes' book but it's always good to ask a few questions when confused. All the best :)

Hey Moose, love the videos. Question, should I be separating my gold plated computer scrap. Meaning should the pieces that are completely plated be separate from those that aren't?

Very informative. I like how you explain the fine details of everything. Thanks very much!

Great!!! One quick word of advice, try to read before asking questions, they can be a bit......um...easily frustrated is the most polite way I can put, with people who they feel do not do enough research before asking questions. I have found that the site has the answer to ALL of my questions, I just need to keep looking. Thanks!

Hi Moose Scraper.. I like the way you explain every step of the process.

thanks for that Moose,,, iv got loads of PC bits as iv been fixing them for 15 years and never binned anything :) time to got the snips out and start collecting..... Thanx Again

I do this as a hobby so I find it worth it. For the average person, there really is not a whole lot of effort into it. Your costs can be less than $10. I think that it can be absolutely worth the effort.

My buddy and I have been scrapping Cisco boards. Some of them look like someone had a mouthful of gold dust and sneezed on them. The recycling place in town was going to pay us 25 cents a lb. for them, so we've decided to recover it ourselves. Thanks for the video. Don't worry...we'll study a little more on it.

great vid man loved it. i actually went home and grabbed three old computers and stripped them clean much appreciated :)!

Thanks for the tip, will look into it!

Wow your video made me realize I have a lot of gold! Thanks this really helped!!

Great help.i just started scaping ewaste.got confused acouple times til i started following you

If in fact I were to dilute my working acid peroxide solution too much is it a ripper be damaged or can I just reduce it by boiling off some of the water bringing it back to its original concentration or close to it?

No problem! Thanks for watching!

Just wanted to thank you for making it easily understood.

Awsome video! And would it go faster ( the process) if I use peroxide and the air pump? And I just put foils in hcl and sodium nitrate to purify the impurities and then percipitate using metabisulfate right?

@moosescrapper5928

4 жыл бұрын

I dont know about sodium nitrate, but if you use bleach or, sodium hypochlorite with hcl, that will dissolve fine gold and then precip with smb.

This is the best way ever!!! *Thank you* truly appreciated!!

That was fascinating! Home chemistry. Not sure where you amass large quantities of finger boards but this is fun stuff.

Hi and thanks for watching!! That is a great question! Unfortunately almost impossible to answer... There are many MANY variables in scrapping motherboards. Age, type, are you including any pci cards and ram in it, type of CPU etc etc. The best report I have seen from youtuber originalfeets, is there can be up to 1 gram per loaded mother board. There could also be a lot less as well. The goldrefiningforum would have better info. Thanks!

Thank you for making the video. I needed to know how to do it. Thanks do much

I thin kthat reading Hoke is possibly the most helpful thing you can do to help establish a strong base knowledge for gold recovery. As for the watch pieces that are magnetic, put it is HCL and put the HCL pyrex on a hot plate until the temp is just under boiling. Depending on how much base metal there is this could take a few hours.

big ups matey can you melt the gold as is once recoverd or does it need to be refined ??

Doing great Moose. How do you separate green board sludge from your gold flakes and how can I smelt gold at home. What type of pot is smelting donr in?

Dear Mr. Moose , you are the best

Very good vid! What concentration is the peroxide? The most commonly available is the 3% diluated solution. Is that stuff strong enough or i should find something more concentrated? Thanks

Im loving this channel

Great video. I use tin snips for cutting the fingers off of bad modems and things, I've been doing that for years. Time to pull out the tub of fingers and start them soaking! Thanks!

Hi, i really enjoyed your video...but i have a question....What can i use in alternative of coffee filter (that i can find easily at home)?? Thanks..

Hey Moose, Quick question. Can you take AP and bleach to dissolve the gold off of cpu chips or do you have to remove pins first? Also how long can the gold solution stand without adding to it? Tks.

@moosescrapper5928

8 жыл бұрын

+Michael Murphy Hi and thanks for watching. Your question is a little confusing to me. You would not add bleach to AP, it is not that same as adding bleach to HCL. It also makes a difference what type of CPU's you are referring to. Ceramic pins do not need to have the pins removed, they can be processed whole (broken into pieces) with Aqua regia. The green CPU's will need to have the pins removed first. THe pins get boiled in HCL and the rest of the board soaks in AP. Also, which solution are you wanting to know how long it can stand? I have the same bucket of AP that I have had for almost 2 years now still working and the bottle of Auric chloride I have held for about 6 months at a time.

I'm having a hard time getting rid of precipitate clogging up my filters,any suggestions?

Yours too!!! I used to swing a teknetics delta 3000 and a garrett propointer...

I love the gold snow globe. Also a good idea for a way to hide your gold flakes in plane sight for those who stock pile it for a long time. Just make sure your gold snow globe has a theme to explain the reasoning for the gold and not white flakes. hahaha good luck.

Can gold be removed from plated jewelry in the same batch as computer fingers using hydrochloric (muriatic) acid and hydrogen peroxide?

getting nitric acid is definitely something im worrying about, thanks for the info

No problem thanks for watching! Just remember it takes a lot to make a little for gold.

Does temperature affect the reaction? Up here in northern Ontario its mighty cold right now but would like to try my first batch

Are you referring to the tektronix osciliscope modules? I have a couple of the dual trace amplifiers that are burnt and the insides do look like they have lots of gold.
