Hi Guys and Gals,

It has been a while since I have been posting, so I thought I would start again with a Summer Guessing Contest.

I decided to refine some gold jewelry I received this year and after the first refining, I dissolved it in AR.

The rules are simple, the person who guesses closest to the actual weight of the Gold powder after dropping with SMB and drying will win. Over or under does not matter. I will measure to one decimal place in grams (0.0g). The contest will continue until August 15 2019 at 11:59 PM. One guess per member. Please have your guesses in grams.

The material that will be guessed on is in the picture below of my AuCl3. If you have any question that will not give any the answer, ask away. I will stop answering questions on July 22, 2019.

The prize will be simple. I have 10 silver Canadian Quarter (6 @ 80% Ag and 4 @ 50% Ag), 1 silver Canadian dime (80%) and a 1 ozt silver round that I got in trade with scrapman1077.

Looks more like 72g to me . . .

And also, don't know if I would have the guts to have a solution like that not sitting in a catch container at any point!

It was there just for the picture. I actually dissolved it the second time at room temperature in the blue bucket.
 
Only 5 guesses so far. Here's where we stand. Also, if there is a tie, the one that guessed first wins.

4metals - 199.5g
kernels - 72g
rickzeien - 208.6g
philddreamer - 183.56g
Refining Rick - 45g

I will update again in a week. Ends August 15th.
