Thanks Harold,

Most of the material was pretty clean, but I'm sure there are a few rodent hairs and some other non gold crud in there, so I'll process it as you suggested.

I can say with total honesty, nothing got processed in my system without first being heated enough to eliminate carbon. I think you'll find that a considerable amount of rubbish will be eliminated from your material. Much more than rodent hair! :) Your reward will be much cleaner gold, and easier filtration.

Subject: Long reaction time

Just before the start of October 2010 I put a test sample piece of my teflon fiberglass board in a test tube with what was labeled 2% nitric acid. It wasn't until the end of January that I noticed that the run had finally come loose. That's 4 months! That donut island takes quite a bit longer. This material had .0007 inch thick copper with .0001 nickel and gold plated at 50 millionths of an inch and up.
