Greetings all. This is my first post in this forum. I came here seeking advice. I've never tried to recover/refine gold, but have a growing interest in giving it a try. References to some accurate reading/research material would be a good start. I'm not so sure that my studies at the 'University of Youtube' are the best source for sound advice & education. I'd also like to know what the 'average' yield from gold filled scrap would be, ball-parked of course. I know that is a vague question due to many variables, however. I'm concerned with yield vs. cost of chemicals, time, etc.. Equipment costs are not a concern, as I am fairly well equipped, already. Being a small scale hobbyist, at this point, I'd hate to spend $50 dollars on gold filled scrap plus $30+ dollars in chemicals to realize only $10 dollars worth of refined gold. While that would be the true definition of a 'hobby', that's not what I'm after. I'd like to learn how to actually profit from this. Just looking for some sound advice to point me in the proper direction for success.
Many Thanks...
