what happened!? silver and nickel drop with au?

[chris.bozman42]

these pins were from military grade electronics. unused and in new condition.

if this percentage holds true to the high yield pins i will be spending $1000 by the end of today on pins from ebay. i am watching several that are high yield. one 655 grams of vintage high yield for $600 and some odd dollars. by my calculations that would produce over $2600 in todays market. if this is true i will be going full bore and reinvesting after every refine until i reach $50,000. then i will spend a little and reinvest $40-45,000 haha!

i am now dropping with smb and results are great! i am exited! there is so much gold at the bottom and its such a bright color. There is still gold in solution and i just ran out of smb. leaving to go get more and will update later after collection and wash and then melt!

Looks great, Chris!

forgot to mention that is from only 13 ounces of the pins. will see how much i get and will calculate a percentage.

thank you srlaulis! looks like ill be able to get my pgm refining equipment a lot sooner than anticipated. i have quite a few pounds of pd monolithics to refine and a bunch of pt stuff from some very expensive lab grade electronics i got for $15! lol. over $5000 worth of electronics. already torn apart and prepped. this weekend i will be brushing up on pgm refining with some Hoke and every video i can find (for the 1000th time!) and some good ole forum reading. going to be a science filled weekend for sure!

 

[srlaulis]

I love it! That is my definition of a good weekend.

 

[chris.bozman42]

exactly! i love this stuff too. it is the absolute most enjoyable hobby i have ever gotten into. every new thing i discover and fiddle with i enjoy thouroughly! i am really glad i can share my experiences with other people who truly enjoy this stuff. most of my friends are bored with it 5 seconds after i start talking about it. lol.

 

[chris.bozman42]

yielded 6.7 grams! and there is still some gold settling from a 2nd drop.

 

[srlaulis]

Excellent! Congratulations on your newborn!

 

[chris.bozman42]

Bet that put a smile on your face

 

[chris.bozman42]

Thanks rob! Good luck with your next batch! Hope to see some pictures! I am the same way. Anything with gold on it gets my heart and mind racing! I am constantly getting stuff and ripping it apart to check for gold and other PM's. Its so much fun.

Put a big ole fat smile on my face and im still smiling!
