Hello all,
I’m not new to refining in fact I may have been lurking here years ago when I first started. I’m a prospector that some how came across Hoke’s book on precious metals refining and started down this road to three nines fine. But I changed jobs, moved to a different state and haven’t had any time to pursue my hobbies. Long story short I lost my book and just wanted to say thank you very much for the digital copy that I was able to download. Well I have retired and I’m now back prospecting and bought a little gold scrap that I have refined. My plan is to build a fume hood and scrubber so I can ramp it up and offer my services locally
Again thank you

There is something missing in your question.

But the search function lets you set the user and search for something the user has posted.

My apologies the rest of my question got truncated:
Check, check and check all were very informative I have been trying to find 4metals thread ( around 2011) on using 3 vacuum flasks to scrub reactions. I can’t seem to locate that query that far back. But if anyone has a procedure that explains the process and apparatus or can post a link I would be grateful. Thanks again!
