A client came to my shop and left me a gold blob. Can I uncover its secrets?

PART 2 SILVER:    • Turning a BLOB into PURE SILVER!  

So ‪@NileRed‬ , how did I do? If any of you are interested in a project like this from an actual chemist, I highly recommend you check out his video:    • Turning old jewelry into pure gold bars  

I would also like to thank ‪@sreetips‬ for all of the informative gold refining videos which helped me navigate my own project.

    As a chemist, seeing 96% yield of 99% purity from a process by someone who calls themself a non-chemist is mind-boggling. Smithing is definitely chemistry imo, and I have some serious respect for you for doing something like this so flawlessly. 10/10.

    Gold looks like it's going big this year. I really want to profit from it this year. I have about $240k I want to invest. My brain doesn't do very well in understanding these things. How do I go about it?
  • @vesstig
    The craziest part to me is knowing the generations of Alchemists who tried to create gold which also lead to the discovery of so many interesting reactions in chemistry.
  • @Magnus5757
    As a chemist living in an RV on Mexico-USA border, I approve 99%. 👍
  • @TomCelar
    I am 100% sure that if children at school watched this video in a chemistry class there would be a huge increase in interest in that subject, good job on the process and on filming it well (y)
  • @Sevenigma777
    The thought of how people figured this all out is just amazing. Theres so many steps that need to be done in an exact certain way that i can only wonder the frustrations people had in the past to figure this all out.
  • @carlcowan7044
    I remember coming across this gem of a video back in the beginning of this 2023 year when you first uploaded it. Now, it's less than a week until Thanksgiving as of this writing, and I'm STILL amazed by the whole gold refining process you blessed us with! Keep up the greatness!
  • @user-ow2hg8bl7q
    I am proud to have come along on your journey and I am honoured to have watched this video
  • These are the kind of science experiments i wished they conducted in high school. Never thought of watching someone turn a piece of blob into pure Gold. You sir are definitely the Modern Goldsmith.
  • @tul5124
    This is easily one of the best, well documented videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Amazing watch. Totally captivated the entire time.

    🎉beautiful! My dad was a California gold miner. This video would have tickled him pink! Thanks for the nostalgia and great job! It's GORGIOUS!❤❤❤

    Second time I've seen a YouTuber extract gold out of an unknown/impure source, and just as cool the second time as it was the first. Brilliantly done
  • PART 2: SILVER REFINING: https://youtu.be/b76SJfgiZIM WOW. The comments! I'm happy so many of you enjoyed this video. Makes all the hours worth it. Please subscribe and tell 50 of your closest family and friends. haha. As mentioned in my video description, I owe a debt of gratitude to NileRed and Sreetips for their videos, which helped me tremendously.

    First time I watched this process was NileRed refining a viewers gold. It’s cool to see a gold smith do it just using some research. The yield was very high I was surprised. In the original block there was a huge section of dirt and other metals and I thought that would bring the yield down a lot from the initial estimate. Great video!
  • That was one of the most enjoyable and fascinating videos I’ve ever watched on YouTube. Great job.

    I recently just bought my first gold bar that is only 1 gram and it was pretty expensive. The fact that this turned out to be 213 grams is pretty wild. To put that in perspective, that blob of gold is worth $14K+ right now.
  • Given that even that little disc of gold is worth almost $13,000 (U.S.) as of the day I'm writing this, the amount of work invested into this process is absolutely worth a goldsmith's time. As for me, I was just completely mesmerized by the chemistry. Great video!
  • Very smooth and interesting to watch, and your calm voice makes it very relaxing.....almost zen-like...... Great video!
  • Wow! Master of the craft, really enjoyed each second of the video. Thanks for the chemistry class
