I’ve started using an electric furnace to melt silver from various sources brbrAround 1000c it starts to strobe and flare and form a white powder around furnace brbrPlease tell me what is happening and what I should do

Can anyone tell me if a 2Ton Arbor Press will exert enough pressure to imprint into a 999 fine silver bar?
Comment from : domingo de la torre

I love your videos because you share every detail, even mistakes Its great to learn from I wish you would share the cost overall at the end of each video

9:05 if the metal sweats out of the matrix, could you just suspend the brushes over a catch crucible and skip a lot of steps?
Comment from : Chris C

Do you still do this, i'dlike to et some stuff poured thanks
Comment from : Redwood bullion

Why didn’t you remove the slag before pouring

World pretty good if yiu make a funnel out of the cement with 45 degree walls You literally just use a funnel as a mold and it eliminates all the extra needing because gravity helps with the silver collection

Old Buus fuses for homes used to have pure silver end caps I'm talking about the main house fuses, the ones used in the box with the lever to disconnect power

Where did you get that mini rock crusher ?
Comment from : Ex Pat Conn

Hi sir , I have around 1000 kg carbon brushes , how to identify silver brushes ?
Comment from : Ali Shan

what if you used an oxygen rich oxy acetylene flame?

AWESOME video!

I told my son I’m learning alchemy from you
Comment from : Anneka Brimhall

hello I work at a tow company and have collected some truck and car catalytic converters and would be interested in you separating the metals
Comment from : G Hylton

Dude you are wicked smart , I learn so much from your channel from smelting to mining and crushing random items and showing the full process thanks for all the educational information you provide
Comment from : Johnny S

Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed the video
Comment from : Gef Ginn

You can buy bismuth birdshot at most big box sporting goods stores I get mine at Ballistic Products in 7 pound sacks and it's convenient because there's no waste due to crushing bismuth blocks Just put it into a plastic squeeze bottle and pour it into the cupel through the tip
Comment from : Frank Roberts

👍👍👌🙉🙈🙊 I'd love to have one of your buttons of silver Do you sell any Is there a list I can get on? Love the show!
Comment from : william Ickes

how come the carbon didn't burn?
Comment from : Andy Bushnell

Can anyone tell me where I can take silver electrical contacts to be smelted, of contaminants? I'm in Canada
Comment from : Free Ideas Unlimited

ive got about 29kg of silver contacts and still cant get nitric acid in uk, its so annoying
Comment from : laura ramage

I liked when you were speaking in tongues because you hand was burning
Comment from : Matthew H

I'm guessing those brushes are primarily silver-tungsten alloy, from past experience You can separate the silver using the method you set out with in the beginning, but you need a strongly alkaline oxidizing flux (a lot of sodium nitrate and lye) Under the conditions the tungsten oxidizes and dissolves into the slag, and your silver separates out nicely Should be a pretty clean lead-free method for those brushes
Comment from : Bill Smathers

He used a stick to separate those carbon particles 😂🤣
Comment from : V Indira Pradheep

Total amazed with your knowledge and your ability to risk the experiment
Comment from : Prof Jekan Adler-Collins

Soda
Comment from : M Man

I’m new to this, what is the purpose of adding the soda to the borax?
Comment from : Veni Vidi Vito

How would you suggest extracting the silver out of 40 silver clad coins? I would love to see that video
Comment from : Mark Mumm

Ever hear about nitric acid?
Comment from : Steve Ciarico

The carbon will keep much of the silver with in the microscopic form within the carbon it self Grind all the brushes super fine, burn all the powder to a white ash "very important for it to be white ash" than smelt it all with some borax you will get all your silver
Comment from : 2010invent

Why not do a Nitric solution? You can pretty much do that all day long too and with less time and with greater purity in the end
Comment from : OG Wakanobie

Sad to see how abused the land is old photos show big trees now it looks clear felled Full on toxic waste human detritus Great trip and the road up looks like my road to home lol still do 60 mph lol gravel roads looks in great condition love the views pity you couldn't explore the mine USA time to clean up the rubbish
Comment from : Glenn Wall

That was amazing, to see the silver pour out of the crucible, kinda separate from the slag
Comment from : Ja M

Could you refine gold filñed jewlrey buy smelting? If so what is the best flux
Comment from : Rickjonesbitch Jones

Lead , mercury the joys of plumbing Want some of either?
Comment from : texasslinglead somtingwong

For your time, Gas, electricity, cost of equipment & materials hardly worth it as a business but hobbies are what we do for fun at any cost Plus I hope you made more for the video than the $100 of silver
Comment from : bob howard

what do you do with the leftover slag?
Comment from : Eddie Schirmer

I had no idea about the process of recovering silverbrVery very fascinating brThank you
Comment from : Rich Mountains

Way too labor intensive I do have a story though My birth father who I didn't know Followed the Hunts and smelted silver into bars for customers in the bay area I was told he made 600k in 1978 Is that even possible?
Comment from : batchelerjr

Absolutely fascinating and very fluky but based on a good well of knowledge I wish you'd of left it on the cement it remenisced of something celestial and made a great art piece
Comment from : Slots & Lots

I don't know why you're worried about the LED when you have that flame retardant wall sitting there exposed you do know that is a carcinogen correct it's basically asbestos the only reason you're supposed to use that as is insulation and supposed to be covered spend the money and get the proper stuff that stuff is good but you're going to be hacking up a lung about 15 years
Comment from : hbwblacksmithing

Appreciate all your instruction, keep em coming
Comment from : Kevin Steve

Fascinating
Comment from : Dunc Sargent

What it cost to smelt this silver, he could have just bought a new silver coin But the video was curiosity educational to demonstrate the process of refinery
Comment from : BARKINGANTS

What what kind of brushes did you get them out of?
Comment from : Jeff Crumpler

how about electrowinning the silver?
Comment from : Richard Servatius

Very cool video!brHave a Great Day!!
Comment from : Shane York

How would get silver when it's mostly mixed with cobalt?
Comment from : Arvid Olson

I just looked at the video and it's got 88 downvotes what the hell? Now I really have to watch it all the way through
Comment from : sledgenwedge

Do you recover the lead from the cupola
Comment from : Casper

I got silver scrapping from small pieces found in the street , will be able to smelting them with a small butane blowtorch ? It suppose to be pure silver
Comment from : salvita64

that's an amazing amount of slag for so little silver
Comment from : Kalfax plays

Thanks a lot very good video
Comment from : David Roberts

Have you thought about using nitric acid to recover the silver?
Comment from : abuster

I take it you can use motor brushes as well Very interesting
Comment from : Joseph Bragg

Really cool video 😎 hope to see more in the future!
Comment from : Chris White

I don't believe it
Comment from : Water Bug

How did you get the crushers that you use Real cool stuff
Comment from : Victory First

Wait, why didn't the carbon just burn away ?
Comment from : Very Handy Mann

A ball male Made from an old propane tank With heavy steel ball's in it Would grind your media down to a powder
Comment from : Shane Clarke

Not sure if this helps but, I shoot ducks with bismuth
Comment from : FinznFowl82

Very interesting 👊
Comment from : James Butterson

I have about 13 pounds of gold filled scrap from 11 years of storage lockers saved up I would love to do something like this with it Anyone knows how let me know !
Comment from : Hardworking American

Beautiful video, very interesting :) May I ask if all the carbon brushes contain silver?
Comment from : Hardstyle Life

Я так понимаю мы не ищем лёгких путей))
Comment from : Костя Тузов

Is there any true/good silver in stainless steel bowls, teasets, silverware etc
Comment from : Tracy Webber

Very cool
Comment from : John Hawk

What size generator do these brushes come from?
Comment from : Tri-Force Blades

Would that method work if the silver is mixed with stainless steel???
Comment from : jerry coleman

You never scoop the slag Just scoop the slag
Comment from : Kyle L

“I got these weighed at 250 grams” later he goes “90 grams of silver when we started with 140 grams of brushes, not bad”
Comment from : Eric Hansen

How much propane does it cost you to reap the value of silver?
Comment from : D B

It's silver
Comment from : 5050 ODDZ PROSPECTING

Oxidize the graphite first silver will absorb the oxygen but not really oxidize Had lots of that brush material that ended up being recycled with copper graphite scrap bought lots of it to make brushes for tools alternators and starters Was pleasantly surprized when i found out the silvery ones literally were silver graphite composite You can put a chunk of this material in an electromagnetic pulsed coin crusher and make small diamonds in a silver matrix Good times
Comment from : Christopher Leubner

Bs
Comment from : Wesley Bullock

use nitric acid
Comment from : christopher cross

How can you tell the ones with silver in them
Comment from : Fatmanpicker Penn

hey do you know how could i get some of those brushes???
Comment from : martin11844

You’re furnace is just a fire blanket This is awesome
Comment from : Ltgood

Need to talk with sreetips about precious metal refining
Comment from : Brian Binesh

Where do you get one of those fancy stir sticks
Comment from : Salty Buckeye

You need to get the sreetips guy to refine your stuff
Comment from : iralas

Personally i would have just used chemistry So much easier and faster Or maybe mixed up an oxidizing flux with a silica wash
