Hi,

First post here, but I wanted to get some result to show.
About three months I read forums (here and domestic), watch youtube, speak with colleagues. Who knows how much material I've thrown, that I shouldn't :). Mainly I work with gold-plated worn cases of Russian wristwatches, maybe 2/3 of the result is from them. The rest is from computer e-scrap. I think e-scrap is much harder to work with. Unfortunately cases are difficult to collect in neseccary quantity to proceed, so I'll have to learn a lot more, so I can proceed not only gold from e-scrap.
Here's the result of these three months learning:

Today I'll bring it to a lab to see the purity, I hope it will be >23 carat :)

Also hope next time will be sooner, and better :)

Regards, Miro.
 
Awesome first effort my friend!! Much better than some I've seen. This is a great example of how it should be done ---'Lots of studying, then attempt to refine something'. Nice size melt too, 48 grams is nothing to sneeze at. Keep up the great work.
 
Great work, my first 50g took 30 years. :lol:

This is proof that taking it slow and study is the right way to go. The next hurdle is to source enough material for the second 50g button.

In addition, the result is 995:

Well, the weight isn't 48 :lol:

Thanks for all the good words.

Regards, Miro.
