But its just a test to make sure everything is ok for my first big melt, and most important of all its my first gold button.

Double precipitated powder from my sulphuric cell.

I have just over an ounce of powder to melt, just waiting for my graphite mold to arrive now.

Steve, Harold, Rag and Bone, and others, Thanks for all the help and advice, well on the way to becoming a refiner !

Cheers.

1/2 a gram is a great start. I think you did a good job.

Hey, I don't know about you, but that button is a bid deal.
The rubber hit the road, and there is the mark. A good button.
Way to go.
My gold is still sitting on the bottom of my sulphur cell. I have 4.5 gallons of acid to filter. That is going to take time.
200lbs of plated chains. I hope I get as much as you did.

Well done!
Now it's just a matter of fine tuning the process and getting comfortable with each procedure. Doesn't take long until it's all routine.
