Copper pot problem....maybe?

[stoneware]

Any advice on the route forward? Do I denox and then drop gold as a dirty drop. Then purify again? Or is there a better route to follow?

I would not have tried to create my versions if Gill (stoneware) hadn't done the first digitalization.

Hey guys...me again.

So last night I took about 8 m of 2.5 mm solid copper conductor( taken from a 2.5 x 4 surflex) and wound it into a hotdog shaped piece of copper and placed it into my first waste bucket.

Tonight ( ruffly 24 hours later) when I checked on it it was gone.

First question is...is it at all possible for that much copper to go into solution that quickly.

Second question is the grey solids in the bucket will be silver...what about the black slime in the bottom.

Thanks guys

The copper pot your referring to is called the stock pot, it's were your waste liquids end up with copper to cement out any values.

Please use the proper terminology.

I saw that and my mind did not react until you pointed it out
Thanks for pointing it out.

As Stoneware said please use the correct terminology and there are entire threads about it, so search and read.
