The New Guy

[Ceelay73]

Hi everyone, firstly I am Clay, I was looking around for a new hobby to cut my teeth into and I came accross Sreetips videos on YouTube, and it alerted the curiosity in me.

I have always been a curious one on how things work, and who thought about going about these ideas and how many died on the way by their own fate.

I am based in Australia, so Gidday Mate, hope to be able to contribute as I gain more experience and of course through trail and error. So thank you for having me on here.

Welcome to the forum Clay, studying is great to keep the mind busy, bringing it in practice needs some preparation and test tube experience.
This craft is dangerous and can kill you.

What are you planning on recovering / refining pm's from?

Martijn.

I am defineatly aware of the dangers associated with working within these environments and I will give the craft the respect it deserves and some.

Well I would say that after watching Sreetips alot and following along with his videos, this is what really sparked my interest here so I would say I'd do alot of Gold and Silver refining through the Electrolytic Cells and try to focus on that area for now anyway.

Thanks for reaching out, appreciate it.
