So here's the scenario. First I took my scrap jewelry and I made shots with it. Then I took scrap jewelry which consisted of 9 carat 10 karat 14 karat. I melted it with nitric acid not diluted overheat. Was left with lots of metal that didn't look like gold. Nevertheless I filtered it took the solid material and put AR to it. This is where the problem started. Stannis test showed no positive results for gold. Hi then try to use urea period and drop with SMB. Nothing dropped. I save solution to hopefully get gold out of it although I did get rid of some of the filtered solid material it wasn't metal but it was something solid. Not sure what other information I can provide, if you have any questions to help me I would be happy to answer. Just so you know I have been working with the AP method ,reverse electroplating I've used each method a few times and thus far feel fairly confident with them. I refine using AR. Im no problem by any means but I did feel confident enough that I can do this but I of course failed in doing so. So any help would be appreciated and I know I need to study more if I'm going to start a new method. I'm a bumbling fool that jumped into this new method without doing what I normally do and study. :-(
