So ... I had some open wristband bracelets like for ID names or whatever. They was 1/20 12 k gold filled. Brands like peerless, Pontiac, B/R and others. I burnt off all the dirt ect... So I dissolved base metals in diluted nitric acid and the foils out. Then washed them after 2 nitric rinses to get base metals off. Well then I put the foils in aqua regia but I didn't realize I put too much nitric in it. So my other problem is I thought I had SMB from STUMP OUT to get gold out of solution but I was indeed wrong with what I was putting in there and I also has way too much nitric acid in solution still so I figured gold was just re-dissolving . But I wasn't using SMB which I found out little later. So I made the mistake of just dumping my gold solution into my waste nitric Wash from the beginning. Is there a way I can selectively remove each metal and still get at least some gold recovered out of this pot of goulash that I have made lol thanx for your time
