Hello, This is my first post, first I want to thank everyone for the wealth of knowledge and information i've received so far. I began a few months ago by contacting Streettips on youtube after watching all his videos and he directed me to this forum. I bought LazerSteves video and Hokes book and went from there. I started off with about 6000 grams of mixed karat jewelry. Every night I put 150 grams of mixed gold in a 2000ml beaker, I add 150 ml of Nitric, 600ml of HCL and place it on a hot plate for an hour or two then let it sit till the next night. I then add urea until it stops fizzing and filter it into another 2000 ml beaker. I then add SMB until i don't get a stain with my tin/hcl mix. Then I filter all the acid off and wash the mud 4 or 5 times until clean. Then I place the dry mud in a crucible and heat with a torch until I have a shiny gold button. I know this is not the suggested way on this forum but I admit I got in a hurry and may have rushed after the first few times of doing it Lazersteves way. I only inquarted a few times. The few pieces of gold that got a silver choride crust every time was minimal and I just crushed them and added them to the next batch. My problem now is that I have 20 gallons of purple stuff that contains all my bi-metals and a zip lock bag full of all the fine powder that I sifted out of every filter. I also have every filter and paper towel and gloves that had any residue of any kind on it. Can some one please tell me the best way to process all my remaining metals to get the maximum yield. I can send pics if needed. Thanks. my
