PART 2 SILVER: • Turning a BLOB into PURE SILVER!
So @NileRed , how did I do? If any of you are interested in a project like this from an actual chemist, I highly recommend you check out his video: • Turning old jewelry into pure gold bars
I would also like to thank @sreetips for all of the informative gold refining videos which helped me navigate my own project.

Wow this is very nice.....extracting gold is a bit difficult if you find one and its very rare to see
-
Is gold really worth it to buy ? In terms of the short term considering taxes and overall cost of upfront purchase then trying to resell when I actually need the liquidity, is physical or gold stocks more worth the cost ? Because it seems to be when people speak of gold their not being specific to the short term or Long term approach to justifying the purchase. Let me know your thoughts , thanks anyone

As a chemist, seeing 96% yield of 99% purity from a process by someone who calls themself a non-chemist is mind-boggling. Smithing is definitely chemistry imo, and I have some serious respect for you for doing something like this so flawlessly. 10/10.

As a chemist living in an RV on Mexico-USA border, I approve 99%. 👍
-
I am 100% sure that if children at school watched this video in a chemistry class there would be a huge increase in interest in that subject, good job on the process and on filming it well (y)
-
These are the kind of science experiments i wished they conducted in high school. Never thought of watching someone turn a piece of blob into pure Gold. You sir are definitely the Modern Goldsmith.
-
The craziest part to me is knowing the generations of Alchemists who tried to create gold which also lead to the discovery of so many interesting reactions in chemistry.
-
I've seen chemists do this sort of thing, but your perspective definitely makes it seem way cooler and more interesting to watch
-
This is easily one of the best, well documented videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Amazing watch. Totally captivated the entire time.
-
A regular chemist wouldn't struggle with the chemical-related part, but would struggle with the actual goldsmith-related part, so seeing a goldsmith who didn't struggle with the gold smithing part, but with the chemical part, is truly an interesting change in roles. Also 3:29 RIP blob 2023-2023. He will be missed ;~;

A good tip to deal with black crud like you had at the start is to add some hydrogen peroxide. Most likely the black stuff is carbon, which isn't water soluble. Hydrogen peroxide will break it down and give off simple carbon dioxide. It's also quite safe to use really.

This is my fifth year after retirement. I've been following the 4% rule thing, but this isn't really how hard I expected things to be. I still have about $460k outside funds in my IRA to invest in stocks. Pls how do I take advantage of the market turnaround?
-
I recently just bought my first gold bar that is only 1 gram and it was pretty expensive. The fact that this turned out to be 213 grams is pretty wild. To put that in perspective, that blob of gold is worth $14K+ right now.
-
The thought of how people figured this all out is just amazing. Theres so many steps that need to be done in an exact certain way that i can only wonder the frustrations people had in the past to figure this all out.
-
When the paper test came back clear and the dropper showed no reaction I actually gasped. I figured an 'amateur' would struggle to dissolve it entirely. But chemistry is consistent and if you follow the procedure diligently, it stands to reason you'd achieve your goal! So cool! Thanks for the video.
-
With unlimited resources and unlimited time, this is the kind of thing I would love to mess around with. Refining things not out of necessity or greed, but out of sheer joy of the process of creation.
-
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much work he put into this gold?
-
Given that even that little disc of gold is worth almost $13,000 (U.S.) as of the day I'm writing this, the amount of work invested into this process is absolutely worth a goldsmith's time. As for me, I was just completely mesmerized by the chemistry. Great video!
-
How captivating, that was an amazing outcome, well worth the time you invested in it, I can’t wait to see what you do next. Thanks for the upload.

My 2nd time around watching this. Still very well done and still satisfying to watch. Your well written script helps, and to film while doing all the multiple acid dissolving, my head is spinning. Congrats! 😀
