Another newbie with questions

[barthomewroberts]

I hope that this is the correct forum for this. I am too, an absolute beginner.... never having done any refining before. Having said that, I am a pretty quick study and am eager to learn.

Now, in reading this forum and several books, I have seen a variety of different methods for extracting gold from computer pin, CPUs, etc. One method says this, one says something else. Is there one method that might be recommended for the beginner to extract the gold from these parts.

As well, I gave a couple of pounds of gold jewelery that I have [metal detecting... gotta love it]. I would love to refine this jewelery into a pure form. When I am extracting the gold from the electronics, can/should the jewelery be mixed in.?

I will probably have a lot more [seemingly senseless] questions.... but for now, I will start with these.

Cheers

Bart

No never mix your materials!

2 pounds of gold jewelry wow that would be about 14,000 if it was all 14K

I would go through that jewelry and seperate by markings then you will know better what is there

No. They are not processed in the same way, although in the end they can be.

Read Hoke. Read Hoke again.
