ok i have used poor man ar to refine some high yield pins. i have gotten as far as adding the smb to drop the gold and nothing. i used muriatic and sodium nitrate in the proper fashion. i have had success with this before but have never done pins like these before. they are copper and heavy 22k plating. gold dissolved into solution but the smb wont drop it! the smb keeps cementing out! i tried taking my first test batch and diluted most of the acid out of the solution. left with cemented smb at the bottom. now i kept rinsing and the cemented smb ended up turning all the water and itself orange. almost like clauroauric acid. i have disgarged the small test batch of orange smb...i am now left with the gold solution pre smb. merely filtered off and into another beaker. the solution is a dark brown or extremely dark yellow. what do i do! thanks!
