Topher, Dave, thanks a bunch! I've halted all further acquaintance testing. I spent much of the weekend cleaning a heaping pile of scrap 925 as well as acid testing a bunch of stuff. Still reading Hoke's book, not a speed reader, but I'm learning. The gold filled scrap is still sitting in my AP mixture in the shed and it's turned damn near black. Looks like black coffee. I've been good about writing down notes on everything I've done so far. I still stir it a few times a day and it looks like the metal is starting to disappear into the solution and I'm seeing tiny little gold flakes floating around or settled in the bottom. Curious to see what else it's gonna do with more time. After shattering the first glass jar I just put the jars in the sunlight during the day. :) I still have filters with foils in them mixed in with a thick grey sludge. I've read what to do next and watched videos, but am taking you guy's advice and reading before proceeding.
 
Here you go guys. Here's the 2 mixtures I've had going for about 3-4 weeks now. Haven't gone any further accept for a daily check and agitation.
