You should download a copy of the version of Hoke's book in the link that Yggdrasil provided. It is an updated copy that corrected a lot of OCR errors in the version that you probably downloaded as well as an introduction that points out some practices that were considered OK in 1940 when the book was written, but that we now consider less than desirable.

Other : I have been watching for some time to get info i needed to become successful, reading Hokes and experimenting (first batch i put down was a total disaster but i have always been one to think BIG so instead of beakers i went to Buckets LMAO. anyway not being a quitter i didn't throw it all out i have persisted and now have recovered so far from that first batch 6.9 gms refined gold. 2.96 ozt silver and about half a kilo of copper
Doing electronic scrap is not as as easy as watching a few U-tube video's (im sure most of these guys dont show you how they skip some of the things that needs to be done along the journey. but enuf about that i am enjoying the trip and soon plan to go out here local prospecting for the elusive glowing metal to start doing some raw refining of said metal.
