Hi yes, same material.
there was a few positive readings Vit C dropped a little amount of powder
I've had to recover again with Al.
back to square one.?
Will drop with smb today. powders hcl and bleach and stannous
I do not believe there is anything to drop.
Add a splash of HCl and cement out what is there on Copper.
What ever of value is there will come down then.
You have been making a increasingly bigger mess of the wrong start you had.
Nobody knows what is in there at all now.
So if you cement it out you can start fresh.

Then bag your stuff and start over with fresh feed stock.
When you feel proficient you can start treating your waste.
 
Ok, thanks. it is feeling like a mess!
I am slightly confused.
Im getting the powders out via filtering and then I will regroup.

What do you make of this?

The powders that I had, I attempted to smelt.
there were drops of yellow orange and it looked like a bead was about to form.
then the powder adhered to the crucible. (I was using soda Ash not borax).
I added some silver pins and I got a bead.
initially the bead was silver grey colour, but after a few hours and a few cleans now it has gone a yellow gold-ish colour.
have the silver pins formed an alloy? the bead is heavy for size, but I did not weigh the silver so I can not tell if any weight was gained.

MM
