Hey all,
Just joined up. I have become very interested in refining as a new and hopefully profitable hobby.
My interest began as an outdoorsman up here in the Yampa Valley of northwest Colorado. One day while mixing water and flour to cook up some bannock, my titanium wedding ring slipped off into the snow. I started doing research on buying a metal detector to go find it. Then I got into researching prospecting. Then I got into researching precious metal refining. At the end of the YouTube hole, I found Sreetips, who led me here.
I still haven't found my ring but I hope I've found my new hobby. Always been interested in chemistry and love performing tasks step-by-step.
Recently built a new house and would like to transform my garage into a mini refining shop. Though, I wish I knew about fume hoods while the house was being built. Thankfully the weather where I live is pretty mild...well, except for winter.
Right now the first step seems to be collecting karat scrap from garage sales and the like. I'd like to start small and use any profits to slowly upgrade and build up my shop. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Excited to start this new journey. Hope to speak to you all on the other sections of the board!
