Computer Scrap EASY REFINE TO PURE GOLD

We've seen the beautiful blue solution from the silver cell. We love the gorgeous orange of aqua regia. Now we have an amazing green solution. I love these colours!

I seen video and guy just ran soldering iron across the boards and foils just popped off, cheers Graham.

I’ve watched you dissolve gold many times. Done it a few myself. Never seen it melt in vapor! Very cool Sreetips. 10:27

Fingerboards were my very first refines. Gotta start of somewhere 😅

This process went much smoother than the last time. It had a lot less waste to dispose of. Thanks for the knowledge! As you know I'm not a refiner or even own gold in any way. I'm just a Nerd... also I know way too much about... just stuff. Lol😂 it's so interesting.

Hi sreetips. I would love if you would discuss the costs you incur a little more. I know this is a hobby, but as prices change, it would be nice to hear about how much you would spend in chemicals on a process like this. I think it would be good for other would-be refiners to get a better idea of what they could be getting into.

Thanks brother! I really appreciate your knowledge. The art of alchemy is noble and your salvage recycling of precious metals is inspiring, even though I don't have the space or time for a lab. keep on keepen on! Aloha!

As noted, a lot quicker and easier than with peroxide. Keep up the good work.

One of the best materials for a beginner, IMHO. My first pure gold came out of similar fingers. Great video!

That is a wild green color. Like Mt. Dew or anti-freeze lol.

A really beautiful little button and fascinating that this was a quicker process. I've watched a few of these from others and it's always been a much more involved process. Gold, silver, precious metals and gems does interest me and not necessarily just because of its monetary value but the beauty of those items. 👍

I use a slow process that soaks fingers and pins in HCl with just a little copper chloride, called the 'AP process'. It's cheap and you constantly generate more CuCl2 reagent in the process. I can just throw everything into a beaker and forget about it for a week. Doesn't even need bubbling. Just stir it well every few days. When white CuCl crystals begin to form and there's still base metal remaining, just pour off most of the concentrated waste and add more HCl. It works VERY well for pins. Nothing but foils are left over. For fingers, you still end up having to wash the thin gold off some of the cheaper, modern fingers. The old types do tend to fall off nicely.

Seeing the gold foil separate so beautifully, I would just dry the gold flakes and display them in a clear glass vial so they can be admired 😁💛 Although I have to admit, the gold button is beautiful 🌟

I know you most likely lose money when you make a computer scrap video, but it's always a good watch & wish you'd do more of them. Maybe next time you could do similar technique on different computer scrap, like gold pins. This is the way I'd want to process my computer scrap when I start to do it. I wouldn't care if I lost money because it is a hobby & hobbies usually cost money!!

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! Thanks for the content!

Superb ! That was way faster than anything i ever tried ! If you recall the Weir Effect thing, it'd be great to do the Nitric treatment in a glass cement-mixer. Adding a bit of water/nitric as the thing turned, at an angle, the gold foils would flow over the edge. Mostly they get trapped by the circuit boards, as you saw. AR directly on the FR-4 circuit board material could well have produced some things you might not like.

That is impressive! It went from taking months to same day service. Less waste solution to deal with as well. I'm convinced!

Hi from Liverpool UK. Another awesome video! Definitely the best way to strip those fingers.

Another splendid and didactic refining video, what a pro!

That's a lot of effort! Cool video Mr. Sreetips! Good job sir. 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇸
