Sounds like a lot of work. I don’t really track expenses for each batch. And when it’s done, i think it would be foolish to convert the highly valuable gold back into paper dollars that are going down. I’d guess a refining of this size would cost less than a hundred bucks. Not counting the metals.

Adding the SMB was so pretty! Allowing the Brownian motion and convection currents in the vessel mix the chemicals. Looks like something from a sci fi movie! Like golden clouds floating around. Stunning! You can use 2 filter papers at once if you think the paper might break. Can use the same size twice or use a finer one and a more coarse one, with the coarse one on top of the finer one. EG use a 40 on top and a 44 underneath. Have you ever swept the floor, the inside of your hood etc and seen what may have deposited on the surfaces etc from splashes/fumes? Maybe worth checking the filter of your hood to see what precious metals may have evaporated in gaseous form? Have you ever tried to extract gold from sand/soil/tailings from maybe a gold prospector? Could be fun!

@sreetips At 35:53 I see you still have pieces of gold powder on left dish and some on the right dish. Also a bit of gold powder on the edge of melt dish. That bit will be dropped on the floor at 36:06. You are very careful with all that rinses and boils to not loose a drop of gold solution but here quite a lot of material is potentially wasted. On your melting table and gold bar jig I can see many small round droplets of pure gold and possibly silver. Maybe it is time to collect and process those tiny bits 🙂
