Ok, where to start. To start with I congratulate ALL that have managed to refine scrap into buttons, also to all who help so much here. Before finding this forum I decided to see if I could process some scrap and refine some gold, I found some info but not even close to enough dont know how I missed this site, steve's or the other info I have found after the fact. Ok so now to the mess, I had half a jar of pins a heap of cpu pins (off 10 fibre cpu's) and 2 large coffee jars about 12 inch high and 5 square full of mem fingers, pins, cpu's etc. I got hold of 20lt's of hydrochloric and 20lt's of nitric 
I made up some AR and put it in ALL the jars The cpu pins should have been ok but some how between my confution and whatever I failed to recover the gold. Upon tring to refine one of the mixed jars I dropped out a substance I now belive to be stanous nitrate :shock: knowing at least this was not right I downed tools and I came back to the computer. After calling chem tutors with phd's and all sorts of people not one could help me :? . I now know how to refine after finding this site and reading hoke's. Problem is I still have a jar with lead, tin, copper, alliminum, gold and whatever else disolved into the AR. I have read that alliminum will drop all metals if added but not sure about this and dont want to make anything that might blow me up, unless I know what its is and how to deal with it etc. I did manage to save some of the foils from the jars that did not disolve put them into AR and dropped with smb then smelted my first button . Any help on what to do with my jar of everything would be great, was thinking if the alliminum worked I could start again pull out the unwanted's as you should before the AR.
Thanks Rob
