Non-Chemical Lead bath method

[Ohiogoldfever]

I have done some scratching around the site and can’t seem to find much. Why does it seem no one here is using lead bath method for recovery? I have fallowed Owl tech videos and he seems to get great results with fairly minimal acid.

I also see many ore smelters have great success using lead as a collector then cupeling away the lead.

Just curious about your thoughts.

Lead has its place, but it is highly toxic. The waste, including the fumes, must be dealt with.

Yes sir. That seems to be common consideration in gold recovery and refining.
