Looking for gold buyer Houston area

[iosmodz]

I have various 24k refined gold buttons I refined personally from jewelery and cpus.
Looking to sell for 96% below spot.

Feel free to test and or meet at jewelry store to verify no problem. Thank you.

Prefer Houston area. Can ship but prefer Meetup.

Hi there. Could I ask how you know these are 24K please?

Also you might want to alter your post because "96% below spot" actually means 4% of spot price 8) 8)

Oh yup my English is second language sorry about this. I mean 4% less than spot. I did acid test with 24k ...zero reaction to tech grade nitric acid , no reaction scratch test also..took to pawn shop they checked..and I did 2 refine process on it myself. Ar process. I am 100% confidence it's 24k...that's why I offer prefer local buyer so I can meet any jewelry shop or gold refinery of their choice they can test as much as they need no problem.

And my apologies for bad grammar. I am trying my best. Thank you for your help sir I appreciate it alot !

My advice.....melt together with a lot of borax....if is the same weight is 24k....and post a picture of your melting dish after that... |Got the idea?

Ok..I guess it's hard to believe new guy, but no problem View attachment 4

:G

 

[iosmodz]

95% of spot price is ok for me if anyone like

 

[anachronism]

Hi Ios

It wasn't about not believing the new guy. What people were politely trying to say was that those bars didn't look like they were 24k 8) 8)

 

[iosmodz]

Ok so does it still not look like 24k ? I mean how does it not look like 24k?

Well if there's someone locally interested in seeing some of the gold for sale just let me know. Feel free to verify it without pressure or rush. Btw I just usually sell to Midwest in Michigan just because it's relatively simple. But was trying to let some go locally for my trip to Vegas coming up it be nice to have a extra pocket money. Total I have about 40g I would let go of.

Also if interested I have bunch of mlcc caps, bunch of bga chips, tantalum caps,
Telecom boards older (Nortel), 1990s Dell laptops , Cisco stuff...thank u

 

[johnny309]

OK. Good job,you got the idea. This is the simple test done by goldsmiths . What you did is advertise is product and have people willing to buy it. Have good luck.

 

[iosmodz]

Just finished another refine. Started with 14k scrap..inquarted with copper, then nitric, 4x , then dissolve with aq 2x, ect...ended up with little over a Troy oz. Melting into button now.

If anyone interested feel free to reply or msg. Ty.

Final melt

 

[iosmodz]

Ohh thank you Mr Johnny ! Lol I had no idea it is a way to test gold. Learned something new...so basically the thing shouldn't loose weight ? Is that the test ? Well thanks anyhow it is nice of you to help me.

 

[johnny309]

When remelted...if is impure gold...has other metals in it,metals which melt and get oxidized . This way those metals oxides get trap in borax.
This will result in loose in weight of the initial weight and an ugly melt dish.
The best explanation that I could give you to understand why.

 

[iosmodz]

Oh nice well your knowledge is much appreciated..I'm a work in progress, (formerly worked as jewelry watch repair tech) but been trying refining side for about a year now. I also noticed the refiners that pay 98% u need a business license? I dunno it's odd.

True to some extent but refining by smelting really isn't the way.

For some things it is. You can tell a lot by the scum left in a melting dish or crucible but not everything.

Gold with chlorine...yes. Even oxygen will give you everything but the nobles.

Platinum with oxygen... yes.

Electron beam furnace (in vacuo) with Ir...yes.

Mastery of this field is achieved when the battle picked is always won. It’s always all about the context.

 

[anachronism]

Yeah I hear you. You can certainly look at the coloration of the flux and tell a lot as you said. That given I've seen occasions where it's been suggested that it's a way to clear up large amounts of impurities rather than taking a little bit out.

You mean like taking an alloy of 50% Ag balance copper/zinc and taking it to silver cell ready 98% Ag with pyrometallurgy techniques only?

Or the miller process?
