Greetings from Michigan

Hello fellow gold enthusiasts,

I just joined the forum. I’m hoping to expand my knowledge of precious metals refining here. My brother and I own a jewelry store in Michigan, We specialize in jewelry repair but we also have a precious metals and pawnbroker license. We currently only purchase gold, silver, and platinum and refine it with a 3rd party. I’m hoping to learn more here and expand our purchasing into gold filled and possibly more.

Welcome.

Here is for further studies:

We ask our new members to do 3 things.
1. Read C.M. Hokes book on refining jewelers scrap, it gives an easy introduction to the most important chemistry regarding refining.
It is free here on the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=19798
2. Then read the safety section of the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/forums/safety.47/
3. And then read about "Dealing with waste" in the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/threads/dealing-with-waste.10539/
