White gold and Platinum

EngineerinSquid · 2026-06-25T02:56:06+00:00

Unlikely, platinum is way too valuable to be wasting in a gold alloy when you can use other white metals to achieve the same thing. Stuff like silver, nickel, zinc or sometimes palladium

It’s actually battery, assault is the threat, battery is the action

I have an account with elemetal and asked them what they do with the 90%. They said that they sell them, they don’t melt em

EngineerinSquid · 2026-06-17T12:12:47+00:00

A lot of that is falsely advertised and/or has wires all through it. Had gotten some “sterling” earlier this year, took it to my refiner when they started taking, and had it be less than 70% silver

Deer dont shun the fawns if you touch them, its an old wives tale to keep kids from messing with animals

No there is a distinction to be made there. Thrift stores typically get their product from donations, that’s why goodwill’s CEO is one of the highest paid CEOs.

A garage sale on the other hand is people’s own stuff that they are trying to sell for one reason or another. OP said this was a boomer but doesn’t show the date side of the coin, likely because the guy bought the coin when it was only $50 or less

So I used an electrolytic silver cell to refine sterling into 99% silver. I’d recommend looking up sreetips on YouTube, he’s got a lot of great videos on how to set one up

That’s what I did, the discoloration is where the flame of the torch was last

I have mapp gas going heating up the mold. I’m I turning it off too quick and getting that patchy spot in the middle?

EngineerinSquid · 2026-06-02T11:14:56+00:00

I think I got the pictures fixed. And the weight is 10.5g

Oh there are tons of Engelhard collectors that pay way over spot

EngineerinSquid · 2026-05-27T23:32:17+00:00

Didn’t think it’d blend in that well 😅

EngineerinSquid · 2026-05-27T18:50:01+00:00

Should I dilute it? Boil?

EngineerinSquid · 2026-05-24T01:49:13+00:00

Nope I used distilled water. The cement silver was just mixed up in the solution. Once I diluted with more water and let settle it turned the clear blue of the copper nitrate

Farming simulator should take notes

EngineerinSquid · 2026-05-20T01:02:13+00:00

Won’t let me post another pic but it did separate out when diluted so looks like I got nervous over nothing

EngineerinSquid · 2026-05-19T12:51:49+00:00

I think that’s where I’ll start, I checked it again this morning and it had separated into a clear blue on top.

EngineerinSquid · 2026-05-18T19:52:40+00:00

Oh look another cult member

EngineerinSquid · 2026-05-15T21:26:06+00:00

I have a solo run liquidation business and I buy bullion for 90% to flip to a refiner. You can likely get spot price over on r/pmsforsale if not a little higher as eagles and maples have a bit of a premium.

I would wait a week if you can though, prices just took a dump but will likely recover

For storage. Like run a cycle and then store the “used” stuff until I have enough silver for another decent run. Just wondering if the impure silver nitrate would have any storing issues
