How To Recover Gold From Computer Scrap

9.6g of pure gold= roughly $621..... I recall at the beginning of the video it's stated $1000 total for all 5 bags of 'trim scrap' ($100 for 2 bags; $400 for 2 bags; $500 for 1 bag)..... $379 loss on purchase of the trim to final yield, and that's IF the gold could be sold at spot price. Include the cost of chemicals for the processing and it's probably closer to a $500 loss on the cash invested in the trim boards. But a truly fascinating process and thank you for sharing (subscriber here). I wish you well and safe travels.

Just when you think that processing trimmed fingers from electronics is a good way to make money, Sreetips goes to great expense to show you it isn’t. Thanks for the videos, sir.

Hey Sreetips! How do you remedy having too much nitric in solution (in aqua regia after dissolving gold) that when you add stump out (like a lot) I keep getting stannous tests showing gold still in solution. Do I need to neutralize the nitric first somehow? Thanks!

For those who are wondering if there is still nitric acid in your solution but you don't have a small gold nugget for testing, you can use 24k gold leaf. It's relatively cheap for a book of 10 sheets and is an excellent alternative to a small gold nugget.

I like how the fingers are in ziplock bags but he just is like f these bags and slices them open

Very educational. The moral of this story: don’t buy electronic scrap for refining. Hyperinflated prices, laughable yield. Only use that stuff if it was free.

Agitation is the key. You need to get the fingers rubbing against themselves to break the foils loose. A single bubbler is too passive. You need an aggressive boil by using a tube with multiple air holes in the bottom with air pressure strong enough to move things around. Letting it just sit is like holding you hands in a sink hoping they come clean. You need to scrub them to get them clean. Your soak would likely have been only a few days not weeks. Also, recharge your acid as the reaction weakens the brew.

I like your editing style. Not fancy, not showing off. But, effective, patient, relaxed. I like. :)

That little GOLD button looks so dam Beautiful 😍 I absolutely 💯 love this channel brother..... thank you so much for spending your time teaching us how to do what you do!!!! We all know you don't have to do it but you do anyway! We need more people like you, willing to share your knowledge with us and spending the time to do so!!!!! 🤜🤛

Man, the lengths you goto and efforts you make to keep us fans and viewers entertained and educated is MUCH appreciated! Thank you, Senior Chief! 👊👊👍👍

You have done a great job simplify this. Thanks. I've been collecting foils for 6 years. Can't wait to try this

Your efforts were more gold than the gold at the end of the video, thanks for this instructive video

That was quite a journey. Thank you for showing us all the steps together in 1 video. That was a lot of work, very fun to watch!

You were right on with projected yield I think you did a smarter more practical approach then previous fingerboard video, what a button

Loved the vid! Learned a ton! Thank you for showing us how its done even if you lost a bit (you DID tell us these prices of trim were grossly overpriced) so thank you again!

havent watched many videos recently, work getting in t he way, first gold recovery video was this one, as per usual at the end of the video l had only a couple of minor questions to ponder, as per usual every step was as clear as crystal, l genuinely appreciate your relaxed, matter of fact way of teaching very well, cheers mate

Love all your Videos I have learn so much from you I appreciate it much. I’ve been .refining 999 FS for a year now and refining gold as well. I’m a retired Disabled combat Army Veteran can no longer work but I finally found a great hobby thanks to you sir. Thanks you Sir I’ll continue watching your Videos. 👍👍👍

the reaction you are seeing that soon is from the solder on the finger boards. They should have been clipped closer to the edge, or resistors / Lead removed first. The seller should be ashamed of himself selling those boards for that much. It's like taking aluminum cans to the recycler filled with junk to increase the weight.

Oh man. That's quite a journey. It's take lots of patience for the precious metal. And you did it. Best of health & good luck.

Back in the day my PC broke. So I figured out how to fix it because I couldn't afford to pay someone to fix it. Over the next few years I got really good at it. I started collecting computer parts to fix/upgrade friends and family members computers. I had a huge stock pile of parts. After watching this video I went to see how much I had so I could try this and my wife chucked it. I'm a lot more bummed about it then I should be. lol. You make it look so easy that I want to try it. I don't even really want the gold and I hated science in school. I never would have thought I would spend this much time watching these kinds of videos. Thank you.
