Hi Butcher
Thanks for showing intrest in this thread
I dont have a sample like this on hand
I am a jeweler
To have a mixture like is not common but it does happen
For example you can have filling from 10k,14k ,18k jewelery that can have rhodium plating on it and in the mixture you can have pt,pd iridium .silver.
I just thought about it
Hoke has a chapter on refining a mixture that is similar.
I will try to read the details
its on page 111
she says remove base metals with nitric
she says it contains silver ,copper and base metals
I dont know why she doesnt say that some of the platinum group metals will also go in there,specially palladium
