Hey guys:
This is what it is all about. This took a lot of scrap and gold filled jewelry to come up with this little fellow. This will buy a lot of beer and minows.
This ingot weighs 43.2 grams of pure gold. (About $925.00 worth). I refined the gold twice in Aqua Regia and precipitated it with SMB the first times and FESO4 the second time for purity. I also ran the gold chloride through the wash cycle 6 times with water, hydrochloric, and ammonia hydroxide, hydrochloric and final wash with water, each refining cycle.
I also used a new melting dish and a minimum anhydrous borax flux to melt the gold. I melted 5 nice nuggets and then combined all the nuggets for one nugget. I am going to send it to my gold buyer and have it assayed. Will let you folks know what it comes out.
