I am only a few months into trying this whole precious metal refining thing. I have access to just about an unlimited amount of electronics I want for free from it local dump and there's huge piles of it. So I figured why not. So without a clue I'm jumping into this. I don't have any acid yet but will soon enough. So I'll definitely be in here asking for advice often.

You may well find that refining is not for you especially trying to access certain chemicals easily but you can still collect worthwhile material and sell it on and if your idea is to stack precious metals use the money to buy whatever you want, there is room for all here and the information on the forum will give you an idea of what to look for and save that’s worth the effort.
