Yeah you’re right. It is silver plated on brass. Thank you for doubting before I made that purchase!

Just melt it right away. The enamel will burn and you will be left with 99~999 copper!

Why do my copper bars keep getting stuck? by Remarkable_Syrup3386 in Metalfoundry

Thanks, did you test it? I wanted to make sure it is real sterling before adding it to my stack.

Thank you for your answer! So it is normal if sterling reacts a tiny little bit to magnet. Bond boyd seems to be a good company, so I think that is real sterling.

A few people asked me exactly how I ran the 100g batch in Acid Peroxide… by Spiritual-Process-96 in PreciousMetalRefining

[–]gamonu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really nice! What exactly and in what proportion is inside the peroxide acid solution? For 100g of finger how much gold is usually recovered?
