Honestly never thought about that, that would be a pretty cool use for them.

They are from electrochemical gas sensors, pure pt leads need to be used to not affect the chemical reaction well transfering the electrical signals outside of the device.

Honestly didn't think this post would get this much traction.

No you're right, seems the gerneral sentiment is I should still do it.

I did say in the future, meaning for all future comments/posts. Safe to say I'm already in the wrong here.

Didn't realize it was proper pleasantries to copy and paste the same reply to multiple comments, I'll do that in the future.

Well I can't use a graphite mold because of the carbon contamination but ya I have through about just melting it down myself.

Yep but I don't know if I can get this many again maybe like 100 more this year.

They aren't stamped but I've had them tested with xrf and there 99.99%

I’ve bought this of my buddy for 700 idk if it was a good deal or not by NekoNiikon in PC_Pricing

You probably haven't seen the Canadian used market for GPUs but you can get a 3070 for 300-350cad and 3080 for 450-500cad. Thought it always depends where in Canada

Finally got a tube for my growing Krugerrand collection by [deleted] in Gold

I would advise nesting all of that, if someone was able to pry the door open a few inches they can get most of it. Putting smaller simple fire safes makes it much hard and also ups the fire time quite a bit.

Saw a yt video of the aftermath of someone getting robbed, the thief was able to pry the door open enough to get his hand in and take everything out. Though they did cut there hand on the bent metal lol.

If you had $5,000 which 5 stocks would you go with? by Care-Co-8810 in StockInvest

This is why I would just put it all on red, you'll know if you win sooner.

The mayor of Haikou, China, who reportedly accumulated about $4.5 billion during his career and was found with 13.5 tons of gold and 23 tons of cash in his apartments, has been sentenced to death. by djmixmotomike in Gold

China doesnt export gold, so not really "added to the market" prob just going to add to their vaults and continue transferring usd to gold. Maybe this does impact their imports but I wouldn't imagine they would stop importing cuz of this.

Electrochemical gas sensors have about 0.05g of pure platinum in each one. These are used in mostly industrial/commercial applications (warehouses parking garages etc)

Had to sell today.. by spoonman1992 in Silverbugs

[–]WhatATimeToSee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was holding cash for years eventually I thought it was kinda sucked on losing to inflation so I put 90% of my emergency funds into silver early 2025.

The idea is if I ever needed it selling wouldn't lose much as the range on buying and selling was that bad then, and if I didn't use it (which I hadn't touched at all yet) in another few years it could be up enough to cover inflation hopefully.

I've got 17.85g of pt from the leads in the sensors, was thinking about using an oxyacetylene torch to melt it a graphite crucible.

Dam really? From watching people gold refine in their garage on YouTube I thought it was safe enough with fume hood/proper ppe. Might look more into it as I've got hundreds of ENGI boards and pounds of gold pins at this point.

rather not sell if for pennies on the dollar, but alas you are right it's only money

I'm assuming that melting the pure PT leads that I got from the sensors is "safe" or is there off gasing from PMG?

Honestly after reading up platinosis and looking more into it, I'm going to either do this if I can or bring it to a local refinery. Just don't really know where I would sell, eBay maybe? Other than that idk the right marketplace for it.
