In dire need of help.
I just tried aqua regia
I mixed my hydrochloric acid with my nitric acid, then let it sit.
After 30 minutes it stopped boiling.
Then I filtered out the stuff and noticed that the gold was not melted properly. There was still a lot of gold debris.
I panned it out and it passed 18k and not 24 k.
I added urea and quadratic precipitant.
Waited thirty minutes and when I strained it it looked like black sand in the bottom.
I magnetized the stuff and got the bad stuff out and then put it in my furnace.
I have it set to 1150.
I put borax in it.
Then I poured it I to my ingot mold and got absolutely nothing but borax.
Please help. I got no gold. What am I doing wrong?
