It's Ruined!!! $1000+ of Silver, Gone!? Do Not Try This At Home Folks!! ft Nick The Scrapper

Added: 2026-05-14

[00:00:10]So today on Project Shop, we got uh a special guest with us and he brought his silver refining setup. Uh it's like a whole thing he's got here and he's going to show me how to run some silver and then we're going to run some of the silver that I got. See if we can't refine it down.

[00:00:29]Uh he's got like a whole setup with um what is that? A what was it? A scrubber with uh what was it? Activated aluminum.

[00:00:39]>> Activated aluminum. And he built this whole thing basically right here on his trailer. It was processing this stuff, which is pretty it's right up my alley of redneck engineering. Um so we're going to get this off the trailer, go set it up away from everything, and um see if we can't recover some silver.

[00:00:58]Heat.

[00:01:16]Heat.

[00:01:22]Woohoo!

[00:01:48]Wow!

[00:01:54]Hey, come on.

[00:02:31]Okay, so we're getting set up over here.

[00:02:34]He's got quite the setup he brought and um got some acids.

[00:02:41]got two fans, one pulling or one pushing into the filtration setup and one on top pulling out. So, the stuff that's coming out should be pretty much neutralized.

[00:02:53]And um >> let me get a weight on this before we start. And then for when we're done, we'll we'll know exactly what we're doing and you'll know exactly what your yields are.

[00:03:01]>> Sweet. So, he's got a bunch of silver he brought that he's been processing this stuff here. See, it's like brass silverplated.

[00:03:15]I've got my big old nuggets I pulled out on that live stream.

[00:03:22]Okay, so we're going to, like he said, we're going to weigh this. I got more. We're not going to mess with this today, but this is the other stuff I still have to process.

[00:03:30]But he thinks I could have a,000 bucks there. I don't know. We do got respirators. And I do have the right the 60923 respirators for this. Um I've been using these respirators.

[00:03:48]Uh that's good for the what is it? The gases and stuff.

[00:03:52]>> Yeah, the gases.

[00:03:53]>> Yeah. So >> still don't want to break.

[00:03:54]>> We're we're doing somewhat right. Check this out. He's got a cool little thing with his bandsaw strapped to this table. That's pretty slick. He's going to use that to process that. And then um yeah, we're gonna start processing some silver and see how it goes, man. And I have so much more silver.

[00:04:19]Um and I still I'm pretty sure my original lot of silver, which had some huge nuggets in it, got scrapped. I think it went to the scrapard.

[00:04:28]Um, okay. We're starting out with 917 g of silver contacts.

[00:04:44]So, that should be a nice little chunk of silver, right?

[00:04:48]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:04:50]>> We're going to find out.

[00:04:50]>> Okay. Well, he's got the right set. You got some huge Dude, how much are these?

[00:04:54]These are nice. They're about The cheapest I can find them is 30 bucks a piece.

[00:04:58]>> Really?

[00:04:59]>> Yeah.

[00:04:59]>> Do we need more? I'll get my wife to order some.

[00:05:02]>> Four more of those.

[00:05:03]>> Four more.

[00:05:04]>> Three. Three.

[00:05:05]>> Well, if we can process this and get some money out of it, I'll put the money back into getting some more stuff.

[00:05:10]>> There you go.

[00:05:10]>> Yeah. Okay.

[00:05:12]>> Make a borrow for you.

[00:05:13]>> All right, man.

[00:05:15]I'm super stoked about this. This is I'm I I was just telling him I'm always fascinated about people that build stuff themselves and uh the process and the different things that they use. But yeah, this is cool. I'm I'm super stoked about this. I got a lot of silver. Now, can this whole setup here be used to process gold?

[00:05:36]>> Yes, either.

[00:05:37]>> Cuz I got a whole white tote full of gold finger boards.

[00:05:40]>> Smaller beers. speaking, you don't want to put this much volume of liquid for the gold, but uh for the most part, you want to try to keep it as tight as possible. It's not nearly as much, >> you know.

[00:05:50]>> Yeah.

[00:05:50]>> One little chunk like that's worth thousand.

[00:05:54]>> What's going to be like the first process?

[00:05:56]>> We are going to >> We're going to put acid in there.

[00:05:58]>> Yeah. We're going to put uh 50% um acid, nitric acid, a 67% mixture, and then we're going to dilute that in half with distilled water. Do you need some of this still water or you got it? Oh, you got it. This guy brought everything.

[00:06:13]He's prepared.

[00:06:15]>> Unlike me. I'm never prepared for anything.

[00:06:19]>> But he's got bunches of acid. I mean, right now we're doing this over here.

[00:06:22]But, um, he's going to actually leave this here. We're going to start using it and he'll come out here.

[00:06:29]>> You run 200 lb of the silver plate.

[00:06:32]>> It's fast, man. Up. It's very fast.

[00:06:36]>> 200 lb at a time.

[00:06:40]Dag. Yeah. Okay. So, he's just going to show me the ropes and uh I guess he's going to um What? So, you're going to just stockpile some stuff and then come back out here when you get enough. So, do you measure the fluids?

[00:06:54]>> Yeah. Yeah. So, it's not super It doesn't have to be hyper critical. You don't want to go pure cuz it could, you know, boil over on us. We are putting heat on this to speed it up a little bit. So, we're going to dilute it down and then um we're going to uh just see what it does. And if it stops reacting, we just add a little bit more nitrous as we go. Okay. And it'll keep reacting.

[00:07:12]And we just keep doing it till it's gone.

[00:07:13]>> Sweet.

[00:07:13]>> Just that simple.

[00:07:14]>> What do you got there?

[00:07:15]>> We got distilled water.

[00:07:18]You always want to add the acid to the water, >> not the other way around.

[00:07:35]I do 1,000 mil and 1,000 mil 1,000 milliliters and 1,000 milliliters that whole thing.

[00:07:45]>> Wow.

[00:07:47]>> You got a lot of silver.

[00:07:49]>> What would happen if you just ran like straight acid?

[00:07:52]>> It could potentially boil over and it actually pacifies it. It'll actually slow the reaction in some cases.

[00:07:59]>> What I call him I called him >> YouTube. This is YouTube. Uh >> hey, I called him uh strip tease one time on the on the live stream.

[00:08:09]>> Well, I seen him do a big gold bar one time.

[00:08:13]>> Okay, ready? Geared up.

[00:08:15]>> We're all geared up. We're all masked up.

[00:08:40]Heat up here.

[00:09:03]Oh, it's doing it. Turn green now.

[00:09:15]Could you let that run without the heat?

[00:09:18]>> Yeah, periodically.

[00:09:20]>> Take a while. Because I haven't done this method >> circumstance before, I'm going to just go with super.

[00:09:29]>> Okay.

[00:09:30]>> Oh, so he he's he's never done the >> straight silver the the silver button before, right? He's never done that.

[00:09:38]>> No. No.

[00:09:39]>> Okay. All the stuff.

[00:09:41]>> I'm not worried about the silver reacting just in case there's another metal in there that we're not sure about.

[00:09:45]very active. I'm just not sure. I don't know. So, take it slow.

[00:09:50]>> Okay. Sweet.

[00:09:58]>> Is that the red gas?

[00:09:59]>> Yep.

[00:10:00]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:10:02]Oh, it's doing something. Look at that.

[00:10:11]Oh, yeah.

[00:10:23]Yeah, it's going right up through the filter.

[00:10:31]I think we don't need to add [ __ ] That one might get started.

[00:10:34]>> What?

[00:10:35]>> You don't need to add any kind of heat.

[00:10:36]That's boiling, right?

[00:10:38]>> Really?

[00:10:38]>> Yeah, that's boiling.

[00:10:40]>> Okay.

[00:10:43]Can we bring that down?

[00:10:45]>> So, so if it it gets too out of hand, it starts cranking up into this area, I'm just going to take some pull it off into this.

[00:10:52]>> Okay.

[00:10:53]>> Get some of the liquid out of it. So, you don't have a boiler. I don't want to deal with the mess.

[00:10:59]>> That's [ __ ] alive.

[00:11:00]>> Wow.

[00:11:04]>> So, like with stuff like 10,000 ms, it'll come up fast. It happens quick, man.

[00:11:12]It's not the end of the world. The other world Heat. Heat.

[00:12:03]pile.

[00:12:05]I just up in there. No, it might be good for this hydraulic ball. Yeah, this stuff down.

[00:12:17]>> Yeah.

[00:12:41]as fast as possible.

[00:13:17]works good.

[00:13:22]I don't smell nothing out here.

[00:13:24]And there's no fumes coming out of that thing. He said that the bucket of that activated aluminum or whatever it was was like 500 bucks. That's like some real deal stuff.

[00:13:36]But once you get it set up, I'm already thinking like this should be double, you know? Like I'd be worried about in the middle of a run one of them shutting down.

[00:13:50]So we might be ramping this up.

[00:13:54]And we already had to uh this thing when we brought it here this motor oil that thing was seized up and wasn't working. I had to hit it with my air hammer with a button to break the corrosion on the on the bearings and lube the crap out of it. So, what we're going to do is lube it before and after every run and spin it so it doesn't get uh we'll just keep a coat of oil on it.

[00:14:33]Fancy stuff, man.

[00:14:49]Okay, I got my mask on and uh she's still bubbling.

[00:14:57]>> Yeah, we're going to take a look though and see how much it's uh see if we need to add another shot.

[00:15:05]>> You ch all this stuff down.

[00:15:07]>> Oh, you got a whole bucket.

[00:15:09]>> Yeah, little little quarter bucket.

[00:15:12]record to show you >> what happened with this one.

[00:15:16]>> I'm going to run that on my bigger band saw.

[00:15:18]>> Oh, okay.

[00:15:18]>> I don't want to get it all bound up in that.

[00:15:21]>> Great. I'll throw my mask on. I think I put it seems to be working good.

[00:15:29]He said he could somewhat smell little fumes out here. I really didn't smell it.

[00:15:36]I think that thing seems to be doing good. But like I said, I' I'd like to double that up. Um, and this thing almost needs an angle.

[00:15:52]>> You know what I'm saying?

[00:15:53]>> You know how the hoods are, they're angled? It brings the fumes to a >> Yeah. Yeah. It's This was slapped together in a hurry.

[00:16:02]>> Yeah. He built this on the back of his trailer >> in a day.

[00:16:04]>> In a day.

[00:16:05]>> This was a uh >> Hey, man. It works, dude.

[00:16:07]>> Storage crate that I modified. Oh, okay.

[00:16:11]>> So, no, >> it's on a pallet.

[00:16:13]>> I haven't gone all in with the thought process, but I do >> Dude, you leave this here with me, man.

[00:16:19]We're going to get it dialed in.

[00:16:21]>> We're going to get this thing cranking.

[00:16:22]We're going to >> We're going to streamline the silver process.

[00:16:25]>> It's close now. It's close. It's real close.

[00:16:27]>> Oh, dude. You got a working prototype here, man. That's that's what it's all about.

[00:16:32]>> Okay. What's the next step?

[00:16:33]>> All right. We're going to take a look and see what uh >> Okay, mask on.

[00:16:36]>> 45 minutes. About 45 minutes to play.

[00:16:38]Yeah, this has been sitting for about 45 minutes.

[00:16:51]Anything left? Almost gone. Dang, it's all gone.

[00:17:00]I can't believe all that silver went in that solution like that.

[00:17:08]Did you wind up turning the heat on?

[00:17:10]>> Yeah.

[00:17:11]>> Okay.

[00:17:13]>> You gradually did it once it started settling down.

[00:17:16]>> Yeah. He said when we put it in there, it was kind of violent at first and we had to keep an eye on it so it didn't, you know, get crazy and overflow.

[00:17:26]But I can't believe it dissolved all them things. About 45 minutes.

[00:17:31]>> Wow.

[00:17:33]That's actually quite impressive. That's just cuz the nitro's getting burned up.

[00:17:36]It could have gone a lot faster if we just add waste nitro, but I don't want to do that.

[00:17:39]>> Oh, okay. That's actually quite impressive.

[00:17:44]So, are you going to put yours in that other beaker?

[00:17:48]>> Yep.

[00:17:52]>> Now, are you using a different acid solution?

[00:17:55]>> Yeah. We're doing a uh about a 20% ratio of nitric and then using 100% uh sulfuric acid.

[00:18:04]>> Okay.

[00:18:10]>> Sweet.

[00:18:21]What do you got? Two buckets.

[00:18:23]>> Yeah. I'm going to process this once I get a ton more because it gets pretty dirty with all the wind. So, I'm just going to process that today.

[00:18:30]>> Okay.

[00:18:38]>> Oh, we do need something to pour this off into when I do the switch out.

[00:18:43]>> What do you need?

[00:18:43]>> We're not We're not quite ready.

[00:18:46]>> What do we need? Another tub or >> a tub or even like a old uh Corning wear dish or shoot I might be able to use that. I think that might work anything. So like old Pyrex, old baking dish.

[00:19:03]Um >> got to be glass.

[00:19:04]>> I think even stainless steel would work.

[00:19:07]Got a stainless steel pot.

[00:19:09]>> Possible.

[00:19:10]>> Old one. stainless steel, anything that can hold probably about >> What are we pouring off?

[00:19:17]>> We're pouring the acid off into to a container and then pouring it back after I switch it out. Normally, I would have another container here, but we're using that one up.

[00:19:25]>> Oh, okay.

[00:19:26]>> That's why we need more containers.

[00:19:28]>> All right. So, >> cuz if I start if I start cooking all this stuff, this is the only way I'm going to do it. I'm not going to be doing this big. But if you get four of these going, do you go fast?

[00:19:39]>> Okay.

[00:19:45]Just want to give that a steady rest while I pour it in just to make sure.

[00:19:54]We'll know if this prop there, buddy.

[00:20:18]Okay, we'll just pull it off. Whatever's left over back in there. All right.

[00:20:35]Look at that.

[00:20:55]This is where it gets nasty.

[00:21:00]>> Well, you got to just let it cool off.

[00:21:02]Yeah. Yeah. We're going to let it cool off, put some ice around it, and uh uh throw uh HCl in there, and I'll put the silver chloride now.

[00:21:14]>> So, then it's going to go to silver chloride. Should this I mean like >> we're doing in action here proper setup this should all be done inside the hood >> like if we we make a bigger hood.

[00:21:30]>> Yes. Yes. It it would it would be helpful. But problem is leaning over >> it it gets weird if you have wind. It just comes right back at you anyway. I usually just hold my breath while I need the pour and walk away when I'm done and put and then put a lid on it.

[00:21:45]>> Okay.

[00:21:48]All right.

[00:21:49]>> But no, it's not 100%. Yeah.

[00:21:54]>> Okay.

[00:21:54]>> And that's the >> it's a work in progress.

[00:21:56]>> Yeah. That's where a big shot family would come in. Andy right there.

[00:22:04]>> Kind of seeing that now.

[00:22:05]>> Yeah.

[00:22:06]>> When you're doing these transfers.

[00:22:07]>> Well, I'm think I'm thinking having it in the hood so that the hood sucks it through that that thing. But have a bigger hood.

[00:22:20]Yeah, you could. Or to have two hoods.

[00:22:23]Oh, it gets weird. The more volume you put in there, you're definitely going to need more and more pants. It increases exponentially.

[00:22:30]>> Yeah.

[00:22:33]Like this is like the bare minimum you can do with this setup.

[00:22:42]It don't look like much, but he's telling me there might be $1,000 in silver in there, which is crazy cuz I can see right through the bottom.

[00:23:00]Oh, dude. I would had a I I have a bigger tank now.

[00:23:05]Oh, we got flies in there. Is that going to be a problem?

[00:23:08]We're going to have some silvercoated love blood. Any ice on the backside?

[00:23:13]>> Yeah. You want to throw a little in there?

[00:23:16]>> Okay. So, we're going to add muriatic acid into that solution.

[00:23:20]>> Yeah. Pick a silver silver chloride.

[00:23:23]>> Okay.

[00:23:24]>> The silver nitrate. The silver chloride.

[00:23:25]>> How much you going to put in there?

[00:23:27]>> Dump too long once it's done. Set that up.

[00:23:31]>> Okay.

[00:23:33]Pour it in a little slow.

[00:23:36]Let's see how it >> go.

[00:24:03]>> Oh, shoot. All silver.

[00:24:14]>> Any more of this?

[00:24:16]>> Probably.

[00:24:17]>> You have any?

[00:24:18]>> Yeah, >> I might have some.

[00:24:36]It's pretty It's pretty close. We're going to do a dash just got a force on it here in case that seal leaked at all or anything. That's crazy.

[00:24:49]Little more for good measure.

[00:24:53]That's it. It's all synced. That's a good one.

[00:24:58]That shit's concentrated, bro.

[00:25:05]Wow.

[00:25:17]Keeping it cold. Kept it off and float to the top. Just settle right back down.

[00:25:27]>> Well, we got a little chunk that's left.

[00:25:29]He said that's all silver down in there.

[00:25:30]So, how do you get that out? You just leave it in there and do it on the next run.

[00:25:33]>> Rinse it off and dump it in your bucket.

[00:25:34]>> Oh, I mean Okay.

[00:25:37]And there's little flakes we can run again.

[00:25:39]>> Yep. Yep. We can just put that back in there. The little chunks, but all that stuff that's white and cake, that's all silver.

[00:25:47]>> Wow.

[00:25:48]>> Silver.

[00:25:49]>> That's awesome, man. So, he's got this prepped up. He's just going to run a little batch to show me how this works.

[00:25:56]And um he's got another setup where he was running like how much poundage were you running at a time?

[00:26:01]>> I've done I've done upwards of 150 175 pounds a day >> in one vat.

[00:26:08]>> No, no, multiple >> Oh, multiple.

[00:26:11]>> How much could you put in a vat? About that much or more?

[00:26:13]>> No, way more. Way more. I put close to like 7 8 ounces of prep material.

[00:26:18]>> Wow.

[00:26:19]>> 15 minutes. 15 minutes running.

[00:26:21]>> Yeah, he was running a couple hundred pounds of this stuff a day. That's crazy.

[00:26:30]>> Oh, my little dinner for Okay, man. We're getting uh close to some some silver.

[00:26:43]>> He's got a nice little chunk there, too.

[00:26:46]And then he said this stuff here is actually lead. So a lot of times the silver is lead and zinc like the base here. So he actually once he pulls the stuff off he's left with like copper or brass which you can sell back and get and recoup some more money but the lead is not so much. I mean you can still sell it back but it's not going to be as profitable as brass and copper. It's pretty interesting.

[00:27:18]Never thought about how all this stuff was made before, but >> pretty toxic for a dinner plate.

[00:27:23]>> Yeah, pretty toxic for a dinner plate.

[00:27:25]All kinds of metals.

[00:27:30]Imagine if this stuff was like all silver.

[00:27:33]>> That's all it is.

[00:27:35]>> Really?

[00:27:36]>> Yeah.

[00:27:39]>> Wow. That would be awesome. What type of acid is that? So here we drain cleaner.

[00:27:51]>> Drain cleaner.

[00:27:54]>> Oh, so you we could just go get that at Home Depot.

[00:27:57]>> Yeah. Um Ace >> Ace Hardware.

[00:27:59]>> Yeah.

[00:28:05]Wow.

[00:28:13]fish.

[00:28:25]I'll do about a 20% mix. Uh uh yeah, about 20% mix. And I'm going to pour this when I get inside there.

[00:28:45]I'm already thinking, man, we need to put lights inside this thing and everything.

[00:28:50]>> Hold up.

[00:28:52]>> What if we put it behind plexiglass?

[00:28:54]>> Put it basically outside.

[00:29:01]>> Well, flexing glass.

[00:29:09]So, you're adding two acids. Yeah, >> that's the same asset we just used in mine.

[00:29:36]kind of see if it's going to react first and then there's something weird in there and then I'll uh that thing's already changing colors. Yeah, it's already ripping silver off the lights.

[00:30:08]See, it's very air traffic.

[00:30:52]That that wasn't even that long. What was that? Like 10 15 minutes.

[00:30:57]>> Yeah. It's going to go way faster.

[00:31:01]You know, when you get like three or four of these going at one time, maybe even six of them, it's a lot of material, man. It goes quick.

[00:31:10]And you can just keep using that acid until it stops working.

[00:31:13]>> Just go until it gets just like yours.

[00:31:24]Now, there's got to be some good silver on that stuff. So, it's going to be our water. And I'll show you before we drop it.

[00:31:52]Still a little bit of silver on there.

[00:31:54]It's okay. This is not something I'm too worried about right now.

[00:32:03]So that's silver sulfate.

[00:32:07]I can throw that back at the next front.

[00:32:09]The thicker plating.

[00:32:11]>> Yeah.

[00:32:11]>> And it'll it'll get this layer on there.

[00:32:13]It's a lot harder to get off, but That stuff is really cake.

[00:32:33]>> So that first batch takes a lot longer.

[00:32:36]>> So to get that off, you should have left it in there longer or >> I want to process material.

[00:32:48]I am going to get it off. I'm just just getting it through. It'll start getting faster and faster. This stuff gets pretty big.

[00:33:04]And it's usually the the the spoons that have a much thicker coating.

[00:33:13]Okay.

[00:33:16]Basically scrap now.

[00:33:17]>> Yeah.

[00:33:23]Oh, it's got a crap trap bucket.

[00:33:54]That's crazy, man. You did it right, dude. This is a great mile for your first run. This is a fantastic pile.

[00:34:18]been settling in for a little while. Now we are going to have some some flow over. We'll retrieve that later.

[00:34:25]It ain't going nowhere. It's still going to be stuck in the bud.

[00:34:34]See how it's kind of white and milky?

[00:34:36]>> Yeah, there's a little silver. Just a little bit.

[00:34:42]See how it's instantly turning color? That's cuz it's hit the sunlight.

[00:34:53]Silver nitrate.

[00:34:57]That's a nice smile, bro.

[00:35:05]That's what my buckets look like after I run 100 pounds.

[00:35:22]Yeah, we're going to pour this off one last time, too, to retrieve what's on the bottom of here. There's going to be a lot of silver on the bottom.

[00:35:37]See how it's starting to float a little?

[00:35:39]Yeah.

[00:35:41]>> Can we get a screen?

[00:35:43]>> I have one.

[00:36:01]Close though.

[00:36:08]Nice.

[00:36:10]See how they ain't turning color? That is >> that's silver.

[00:36:14]>> That's silver on the bottom. Silver nitrate.

[00:36:20]install that pretty good.

[00:36:39]All the blue is the copper.

[00:37:00]We need more water.

[00:37:02]>> Yeah, we're going to have to use your water. Run out.

[00:37:06]Let me go see if the fine.

[00:37:12]These street tips will just sit here and wash and wash and wash. But you wind up just playing with it. If you want super pure, we'll clean the [ __ ] out of it. We still got to put acid on here, too.

[00:37:23]We're going to rehit this with acid.

[00:37:26]You'll see.

[00:37:27]Okay, check this out. He said the sunlight turns this stuff purple.

[00:37:37]Apparently, there's all of our silver.

[00:37:39]About a half a gallon.

[00:37:42]>> A half a gallon.

[00:37:43]>> Half a gallon.

[00:37:48]>> I feel like the Pakistanis. I got my sandals on.

[00:37:55]>> Feel like your toes start getting a little toasty. You know what happens?

[00:37:58]>> Yeah.

[00:37:59]>> How your fingertips looking?

[00:38:01]>> Oh, I'm I'm okay.

[00:38:03]>> Yeah.

[00:38:04]>> So, we washed it a couple times and this is the leftover stuff. Yeah, that's your >> Oh, you wrote on there.

[00:38:10]>> Yeah, this is Derek first contact settle. Silver settle. Is that just going to settle?

[00:38:15]>> Yeah, he said this is just going to settle out.

[00:38:18]>> There's not much rock in there. I checked.

[00:38:20]>> And um we'll keep that for the next run.

[00:38:27]And then um what are we going to do with this?

[00:38:29]>> We're going to put muratic acid in there.

[00:38:34]>> Okay, now we're putting muriatic acid in there.

[00:38:46]And that's a piece of zinc.

[00:38:54]Oh, I see it kicking off.

[00:38:57]>> You'll watch it turn black.

[00:38:58]>> Wow.

[00:39:07]You'll start seeing it all turn black and that's silver.

[00:39:15]A little bit of nitric got a nice little wind.

[00:39:24]Yeah, it's going to take a minute. It's a lot of silver there.

[00:39:56]Come on.

[00:39:58]Start.

[00:40:03]Is there too much water in that?

[00:40:05]>> Yeah. Yeah. Trying to get a little dry.

[00:40:25]So, I like pulling it up cuz it oxidizes it really quick.

[00:40:59]Oh, we go.

[00:41:25]We might even let this settle off for a couple minutes.

[00:41:36]Might have been a little bit too much water in it. It's still going to come apart. It's going to take a little while.

[00:41:45]Any more acid? I I might have some for my pool.

[00:41:50]I got plenty. It's not normally I barely even get it wet. There's so much of it in here.

[00:42:00]>> Okay, so here's where we're at.

[00:42:03]Um, we have it in this solution. Is it okay if I pick it up with that?

[00:42:08]>> Yeah, if it's it might be chrome plated stainless. It's fine. You'll find out right away. Just stick it in.

[00:42:13]>> Oh, it'll it'll dissolve it. Just >> stick it in. You'll see.

[00:42:20]Yeah, it'll be fine.

[00:42:21]>> Oh, so we have this mess.

[00:42:28]>> Almost converted. No, it's almost converted.

[00:42:30]>> It's almost converted, but um >> the fell over.

[00:42:34]>> Yeah. So, he thinks what what happened is we should have hotwashed it with water and maybe rinsed it a couple more times than we actually did.

[00:42:44]>> We have too much excess nitrogen. Yeah, there's too much excess nitric acid in here. So, either we're going to figure it out or we're just going to have a mush of silver.

[00:42:59]Um, but he he's confident we can get it out of here. I've never done this, so I don't know. I'm just uh And this is the solution I'm going to keep. He says that there's more silver in here and that it'll fall out of the solution and we'll be able to wash it. Um, but for my first run, I I thought this was pretty interesting. Oh, my wife baked this fresh.

[00:43:26]Um, so that'll keep us going. But let me know what you guys think. Um, obviously there's going to be some we should have done this, we should have done that. Um, but hey, we're here in the backyard just messing around. So, any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated. And um, stay tuned. We'll see if we can actually pour something or are we just going to have a silver mush?

[00:44:16]Heat. Heat.

[00:44:36]I'll tell you where we're going. Right to the scrapyard.

[00:44:53]Awesome.

[00:45:16]Look at dance. You ever seen a copper dance before?

[00:45:32]Come on.

[00:45:36]Come on.
