Decided to post this for anyone who'd like to see, and/or to provide some encouragement to the small-time hobbyist such as myself... this is most of what I've accumulated so far after about 3 years of recovery and refining.

Thanks! It's 809 grams. I think I'm going to wait until I get 1kg to pour a bar!

Lol nope not even close to having bragging rights, just wishing I could produce this amount monthly . Maybe one day!

I'd be ecstatic if it were that amount! It's 809g.

its way more than I have done.

Actually, its quite smart to store it in this format. A burglar will not understand its gold. But not in an instant coffee box. Then it might go in the bag.

Thanks, I appreciate it. It was made possible from people like you and MANY others on this forum .

You'll get there! Just keep trying and putting in the effort and it'll pay off.

Yeah that's one of the main reasons I store it this way. Another reason is that refining is quicker and requires less acid when dissolving precipitate vs a bar, just in case I want to do an additional refining.

I “need” more patience! That looks real good. Looks like partial remedy for gold fever! Great work icejj

That's very inspirational!

One thing I learned from seeing piles of dried powdered gold is to never guess what it weighs. I was always wrong because it shrinks so much when you melt it. Same was true when someone would see the gold remaining after parting an assay and ask me for a number.

Now melted gold is different, my guesses were closer!
