I used Shore's subzero only I used 98% hydrocloric instead of muratic. everythings dark green with nothing precipitating. any ideas?
 
muriatic =hydrochloric. But there's no 98% hydrochloric acid. Most concentrated is 35-38%.
 
you most likely have not eliminated the oxidizers, and your precipitant is redissolving, also certain base metals, or organics in solution can complicate precipitation. the dark green tells me this is a solution of base metals is a shore homeade aqua regia, sounds like a bad idea to me.
 
put a big old piece of copper in your solution, keep adding copper until no more dissolved, any powder that forms is your precious metals.
