It's so cool to finally see a non-chemist do this. Honestly you did really well and your yield is the highest ive seen for this, especially for a first try.

Look

@Noompsie Do you need Accounts Services , Personal And Business Trabsaction Handle, Payment Handle All Over Worlds ?

What’s a non chemist ? Is that like a non conformist or a non smoker ? Like would it be exciting if someone non dairy were to make a cheese platter? Confused by your comment is all just curious what it means thanks 🙏

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much work he put into this gold?

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the original thought that went into this comment 🤪👍

It also is an eye opener on how "dirty" for the environment pure gold extraction actually is...

Can we just take a moment to notice this comment is copy and pasted as much as “first” ? Probably not because that would require paying attention and we don’t want that happening no way

Well I would hope he would that blob is now worth 15 thousand dollars.

I am 100% sure that if children at school watched this video in a chemistry class there would be a huge increase in interest in that subject, good job on the process and on filming it well (y)

Now, all we need, is a blob!

@It’z l 2 yeah true , I watched Rambo as a kid so I was interested in obtaining ptsd and feeling bastardised by society to the point that violence which was I learned from society can be used against the society for noble purposes. They never had the classes at school for it though so I just did the next best similar thing which was baking and food decorating . Good thing about kids is they are naturally interested in things it’s doesn’t matter what you choose to expose them to, the curiosity will always prevail. Furthermore school is designed to create effective and obedient workforce to build economic wealth and nothing more. It’s up the individual or parent expose their own beliefs and ideas interests onto their kids because society is already doing that with their subjects that essentially say “learn this to get money and have less adversity via currency” opposed to “learn whatever you are passionate about and innovate it and use it to make our world better “

Wow I never thought of that. So you are saying that subjects and information can be taught in a school? And not only that whatever the students are exposed to will increase an interest in that subject due to becoming aware of it ? My mind is blown right now omg . I’m certain (no need for percentage because any less that 100% wouldn’t be certain would it ?) that you may have just stumble upon why school exists. Anything you show or bring to the awareness of curious learning minds is going to generate further interest it doesn’t matter what the subject is. So I’ll call your comment with a similar bet. I’m 100% (certain) that if you handed out money to people on the street some of them would take it and spend it. (Fulfilling its purpose)

@It’z l 2 so what?

If the kids watch Breaking Bad for sure they’ll be interested in chemistry class, however that show has some mature topics and scenes

That was so satisfying to watch! Glad you had the patience to go through the whole process!🎉

Glad you enjoyed!! Was def a test of patience haha

I recently just bought my first gold bar that is only 1 gram and it was pretty expensive. The fact that this turned out to be 213 grams is pretty wild. To put that in perspective, that blob of gold is worth $14K+ right now.

Stop stealing comments

In CAD it's 17K

Are you the guy with the hillarious quotes on Twitter?

@Jaden La-boissiere Depends on your currency, but it's about 12.5k USD at the moment for 213 grams @ highest bid.

I thought it was like 19k

Very good and well described video. I am a retired metallurgist who worked for many years in the gold mining industry in Western Australia. I managed laboratories where we not only conducted our own assays on bullion by traditional fire assay methods - we also produced our own 99.9% "proof" gold to use as standards in the fire assaying processes. Our method of producing "proof" gold was very similar to what you have shown here, except that after the aqua regia digestion, we filtered out any remaining solids (silver chloride) and took the solution up in hydrochloric acid / reduced over heat and re-filtered a couple of times before finally taking up in distilled water giving us about 5 litres of a very clear, but still acidic solution containing the gold. We then slowly added caustic soda to this clear solution while gently stirring - the metallic gold precipitating out of the solution looked like "gold rain" falling to the bottom of the beaker. Precipitate was then washed in distilled water a number of times before drying. We then weighed out one gram lots of this dry precipitate into small china / porcelain crucibles and put into a dedicated furnace to melt down / anneal into small gold buttons or "prills". These were then put through manual "bullion rolls"and rolled out into long strips, which were stored and cut up when required to make "proof" standards to compare routine assay results against. You could also purchase certified "proof" gold ribbon and solutions from the Perth Mint for use in making your own "standards" but these were very expensive. As a result, we only very rarely purchased these standards and used them to confirm / validate our own site-produced standards - usually when conducting assays for other clients / joint venture partners etc.

With such a low Karat Gold, your best course would have been to first use only Nitric Acid, which would have dissolved all base metals and left you with nearly pure Gold that could have then been moved to Aqua Regia for refining. This would have avoided the creation of Silver Chloride. I must say though, not too shabby at all for your first time. Keep it up! And feel free to message me if you have any refining questions.

enquarting the gold would help speed up the rate that it dissolved as well edit: also use distilled water to avoid forming silver chloride

@Alex Frideres so like what everyone else said?

@Modern Goldsmith hi

$12,600 in monies damn

This was so cool and educational. Seeing the whole process of gold extraction from an ore is mesmerizing, and way more complex than I imagined

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

Absolutely agree it was really cool to see the process. However, the blob wasn't an ore, it was a chunk of metal alloy with gold, silver and lots of impurities.

This is seriously one of the best videos I’ve seen in at least the last year or two! Outstanding work and your diligence is impressive! Thanks for doing this!

if you like this kind of content a channel called Nile Red does quite a bit of chemistry stuff similar to this and in a similar format as well, you should check em out.

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

As a chemist, it hurts so much seeing you use the Erlenmeyer flask with the Buchner filter, and the vacuum flask as an Erlenmeyer. For anyone wondering, the Buchner goes with the vacuum flask joined with a rubber seal, and u connect vacuum on that tube on the side so it filters faster. The erlenmeyer flask has that shape (that kinda cone form) so it reduces the fumes of the solution you have inside. But I honestly have to admit, you did an excellent job!

@NickiGames As another human being, it hurts so much to see you crying so much over constructive criticism that wasn't even aimed at you.

@Alternating Currents It could perfectly be, if I remember correcly jesse used to cook on a volumetric flask or something and walter gets mad. A volumetric flask is made so that the volume is exact, but warming it could affect its preciseness.

Didn’t he say he’s not a chemist? Then why the hate?

I feel like this is a Breaking Bad reference

​@NickiGames did you type this while hugging your stuffed animal.

I love this video Not only is it fun to see a non-chemist try something like this - and for it to succeed so well (seriously your yield is astonishing) This video also has story to it, *The Blob* is a lovely little character and im happy to see him looking purer and healthier than he's ever been Thank you for this

Really enjoyed seeing all your hard work. Great job at filming, editing, and the audio sounded great. Liked and subscribed 🙂 I didn’t know how much work goes into refining gold. I got a real education here. Thank you 👍🙂

A regular chemist wouldn't struggle with the chemical-related part, but would struggle with the actual goldsmith-related part, so seeing a goldsmith who didn't struggle with the gold smithing part, but with the chemical part, is truly an interesting change in roles. Also *3:29* RIP blob 2023-2023. He will be missed ;~;

This is such a weird comment. Common sense, great.

Blob has been born anew! He has been forged in the fires of greatness!

RIP

HE LOOKED LIKE SID FROM ICE AGE

Okay, just for future reference, on your second refining, filter the solution until it is crystal clear! To avoid the silver problem completely, skip the Nitric acid step and just use hydrochloric acid because it can dissolve the silver without any help from Nitric acid. When the solution stops reacting with your gold, then you know that the silver is in the solution and you can pour that solution into a 5-gallon bucket with some big pieces of copper. The copper will cement out the silver leaving you with cement silver that is 98% pure and can easily be smelted and turned into a silver bar. Anyway, once your hydrochloric acid stops reacting you have a couple of options. 1) You can remelt the gold, pour it into a bar and then run the bars through a press turning them into very long paper thin ribbons of metal. 2) You can go right to making your aqua regia! (Make sure you filter your solution until it is crystal clear!)

As a chemist im actually impressed 👏Thinks dont always work like the books say and many people in the lab go insane about it and call it a day but you kept trying 🚬you got my respect👊

I really liked the video. I was glad to see a metalsmith with a sense of humor to do the chemical things (with precautions!) to refine this mixed formation. It made it fun to watch. And probably gives us all some hope to find some blobs to turn to gold someday too. How many Troy oz was the refined gold?

His is one of the best and most entertaining video's I've seen in a while on youtube. I have not seen a video that kept me this exciting from beginning to end, to see what the result was going to be without skipping, although I like science... I really get distracted soon. Also, your voice is very soothing and relaxing!

Wow, thanks!

when you said you werent a chemist and have never done gold refinery like that before i was skeptical but u did a very thorough job and turned out a great yield well done, that gold looks amazing, never gets old looking at that shiny 24k blob

As a metal detectorist, many years ago, I found a similar yet much smaller blob. It had silver and gold melted together. A local historian (Southern Missouri) showed me photos of recovered items from local bandits. Among the items were 'cobs' that were the stolen booty that the bandits had melted and then distributed to the gang. Apparently this practice was commonplace during and after the civil war for that region. (Quantrill raiders)

@Cherie Homebody Measure its density by weighing its mass in kg and measuring its submerged volume.

@John Jaajaa It´s ndenser than lead

Man thats awesome

@Cherie Homebody throw it and catch it is it denser then steel

Probably the last subject I expected to be watching but certainly a pleasantly surprising process for this layman. This could have been a boring process but your production made this quite interesting. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

This was honestly amazing to watch, its always cool to see chemical refining of gold :). Iirc theres a youtuber that does paydirt videos and gold panning, and keeps the runoff or whatever its called and later refines it in a similar way iirc and gets a good chunk from that. Honestly seeing you get a loss of barely 9 grams was really impressive.

Seen a million vids of this but it never gets old and you presented it in a super fun & enjoyable way. Diving into the silver extraction vid now, cheers!

Awesome! Thx for walking us through what must’ve been a painstaking (but rewarding) process. Glad I didn’t have to do the dishes afterward!

Those look like the regular yellow coded filters, not the "olive" ones; consider getting the multi-gas/vapor ones, they might be better for this. Also, a quick-latch "cool flow" respirator might be more comfortable and ideal for quick breaks full of fresh probiotic rich air depending on where you are/what's in your environment.

This is definitely not your average jeweller channel 😍 i’ve always loved your videos, and this turn you’ve taken makes you even more awesome

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

@Modern Goldsmith 12:07 mmm what a tasty orange juice...wanna drink

@Modern Goldsmith haha!

@Modern Goldsmith awww 🤗 it looks insanely complicated and dangerous, but you’re still a badass for having done it

Thanks! Though I might be done with gold refining for awhile....

Gosh this video made me cry. How far has humanity come. Imagine how the ancient Egyptians were casting gold, or how the Mayans and the Aztecs were doing the same. Wonder how they did it. What they used. But whatever it may be, casting metals is a craft that goes back to the very beginning of humankind. Yet, here I am today…completely blown away by how a piece of rusty metal turned into one of the most beautiful and precious objects in the world. Kudos to you!

@April Matthews it’s great to see respect paid to our ancestors. Too much discussion of aliens used to discredit past human’s ability to do work…like actual work🫡

good job knowing your history! I think gold was a lot more common in those times. The acients were hard workers!

Awesome video. Good job on the process of extraction and refining. Plus really well shot and great voice over.

Dude, I used to fabricate on-lays, inlays & even a quadrant bridges made of gold for a long time, kinda missed it, Thanks for reminding me specifically each time you quench it!😎

It's amazing to witness the transformation of raw materials into something so valuable and precious. Your dedication and hard work have truly paid off!

World economy in simple words (I'm an engineer, not an economist): First, goods exchange. You hunt and risk your life, you need bricks to build a shelter. You give meat from your hunt to the brick maker for the bricks. But what if he wants something else, not meat? You need to find someone to give you what he wants in exchange for your game meat, and if that one also wants something else situation gets very complicated very fast. But... Someone discovers Gold (or pearls or whatever, something scarce) and convinces everyone to want it, more of it.

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

Or Tulips, if you are Dutch! 😀

Yeah but that's actually a myth. There was way more of "i have too much of this and you need it. Take it." Until official money was invented in the 700s BCE in Lydia. There wasn't an exchange, people just kind of have away what they didn't need to the people who did need it.

ONE WORD: BITCOIN.

@Ava You're right, I thought I knew it all when I was practicing with my demo account but I lost a lot of money when I began my life account , but I met this expert Melissa Scott Glazner that's the turning point of my life I'm grateful I did believe her

This is easily one of the best, well documented videos I've ever seen on YouTube. Amazing watch. Totally captivated the entire time.

a creature got killed in this video lol

Now give the gold to me... you are already rich ... but i am poor... give it to me.

Apparently Matt's only seen 100 videos on YT. Can't wait to see what his next year will be like.

This was a very nice video, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for the quality of many youtube videos out there.

Hats off to your patience bro ❤️ loved the video loved the process. More power to you!

You entertain me so much and it’s so cool that you don’t do tennis but still able to do all of that extracting 99% gold is very hard so you are very talented

You described everything between an exceptional manner and easy for the uninitiated to understand untrained ! I can only congratulate you and express my admiration for your effort ! Thank You !

fantastic video. Will be sharing with my ASN N4 Chemistry class tomorrow. I love how you have researched the chemistry despite it not being your specialist area!

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

These are the kind of science experiments i wished they conducted in high school. Never thought of watching someone turn a piece of blob into pure Gold. You sir are definitely the Modern Goldsmith.

at least on paper wouldve been cool

@Srsli Doesn't it cost on average over $12.000 per year to go to high school in the US? I mean, and that's just high school... Damn I'm happy we have free education where I live, we even get paid to take education! but if you're payin like $40.000 just to go to high school, and *every* student with very few exceptions pay that much, then surely the school could afford experiments like this one, just make like 5g-10g of pure gold, and then make it into a ring or earrings er whatever. I mean, I never understood how and why TF a child/teen (most likely the parents) has to spend $40.000 just for a kid to take a few basic classes... But that's besides the point, they could surely afford to make experiments like this one! We made all sorts of experiments, and school is free here...

We did stuff like this in our school. Not exactly like this, but learning how reactions work etc. with different components added or removing.

@TheHuskyK9 "projecting" is just another word for "i know you are but what am i?" You should evolve your comebacks past the 2nd grade

Also, yeah, I don’t think school boards would approve giving a bunch of gold to high schoolers, especially with that one part where the fumes are extremely toxic.

Watching this video is like watching a magician turn a blob of clay into a gold bar, except without the hat and cape! I'm pretty sure if I tried to turn a blob into gold, I would end up with a fancy paperweight at best. But these guys make it look easy! It's like they have the Midas touch, but for blobs!

it's the first Youtube video that I found good suspense in it, and I couldn't touch the forward button to see the end without watching every second of the "Transformation" into one piece of Gold.

Wow that means a lot thanks!

I'm not one to subscribe very often, but that was definitely earned. A lot of work, plus I have a soft spot for gold refining. Good job, it sure was a pretty blob at the end.

that whole process looked beautiful. the colors, the emotions when dealing with this stuff.. that’s why i became a lab technician / chemist

@Marvin Schneider oh thank you einstein, i was getting worried

Its fake dude

I’m happy I watched this video, it’s actually very satisfying to see and to know that it is possible to purify metals like gold

That’s over $13k of gold?! Did the client pay you with a chunk of the blob? Considering the time, materials, etc maybe they just gave you the blob in whole lol 😅 Excellent video! It was cool to see the chemistry behind the process, and I wish we learned more about this aspect of the craft in jewelery school. 😊

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsaction , Payment Handle All Over world ?

@jimv1983 was intrested cheked some of the acids and powders he used was all priced around 30$/kg(L) so doing this probably cost a fair bit bellow a hundred USD, might missed somethign expensive that was used but dont think so, also I'm sure this can be done cheap in bulk by specialists

@Rara Avis definitely not even close to the value of the gold which is over $14,000.

@CrimFerret Cool. You seem to know your way around. Chemist?

I watched every single second of this video and enjoyed every single second! Lol! Well done! Thanks so much for just everything about it. I went panning for Gold in Alaska this past year and there is something about GOLD that is just satisfying to play and work with!

First time watching your video, I really really enjoyed the style of the narration and intermittent jokes! The process itself was really satisfying to watch as well, thank you for a great, entertaining and educational video! The outcome was truly beautiful.

You made this process look very simple and very satisfying. I've watched many refining videos and done it myself, and this was a great video

This was incredibly rewarding to watch. Thank you for documenting this and sharing the process with us!

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

What happens to the chemicals used? Really makes me wonder how did the ancients from various continents deal with the Metallurgy of gold... Thanks for sparking that curiosity. If you know about that subject i'd love to hear about it.

I’m a chemist and work with aqua regia frequently- you did a fantastic job, but I am wondering how you handled the aqua regia waste. If left unneutralized in a plastic waste container, it can eat at the plastic and spill everywhere! love you channel and have been watching for a while :)

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsaction , Payment Handle All Over world ?

At the end of the reaction is very small quantity of aqua regia...as all the components are used for devolving the gold etc.

@Alfredo Prime Yeah I was cringing a tad when I saw him fill this funnel so full knowing full well some of the liquid was passing unfiltered right under the paper.

His method is very old school.

He probably didn't do the stoichiometry, would have gave him the quantities needed for all the reactions

The gold and silver videos were some of the best videos I've seen on YouTube in a long time. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

A lot of people use nitric acid alone first to dissolve the other metals present, which can be poured off. The down side of this is that you go through a lot of expensive nitric doing this. In the liquid state, yellow is a sign of the presence of gold. Green is typically silver or copper, but copper can also be blue. Using a lot of distilled water helps as it allows the metal salts to have something to dissolve into.

I love gold too much, and this is one of the most interesting things ive seen. That gold powder at the end was fascinating. Feel free to donate any old scrap my way haha!

That was pretty cool man. I've seen this done before but because you said you haven't done this before had me on the edge of my seat 🙂👍🏼. I had to subscribe. I wish you nothing but the best. Thanks for the Video, can't wait to check out the rest. God Bless you brother. Later

Very, very cool. Thank you for taking me on that journey; and, well done.

First time I watched this process was NileRed refining a viewers gold. It’s cool to see a gold smith do it just using some research. The yield was very high I was surprised. In the original block there was a huge section of dirt and other metals and I thought that would bring the yield down a lot from the initial estimate. Great video!

@Kelvin Luk I suspect you are right, but we don’t really know the lose, since we (as you say) don’t really know if his original measurement of purity was representative. He should have melter the blob and then measured the purity.

the yield is not really that high considering lots of losses during the process. the estimated weight was based on an inaccurate measurement of a non representative sample

The amount of time and effort you put into this video is outstanding

@12:00 there is a story of an old gold mine in colorado flooding and the water being released accidentally into the Animus river. Subsequently the river turned this color -yellow orange..It reminded me of that and perhaps some of the molecules that floated out of the mine were gold among the other metals that polluted the river. its fascinating because these colors are identical and it was indeed a gold mine!

Not just because I'm tired even watching this incredible work, I'd surely drink that orange juice(I wanted it so much when I saw it lol), so I'll never attempt such a work. A great work!

That was awesome, makes me want to collect gold plated stuff to refine down (since jewelry is expensive), also earned a new sub with this one

This was so satisfying to watch and gain so much knowledge in the process. I’m subscribed and ready to divulge

so awesome. i have been collecting processors and memory chips for almost 10 years now, and i have like, almost half a garbage bag full. i wonder how much gold i could get and how i could extract it... maybe i'll try this some day.... or something similar.. awesome video!!!

The fact that this guy took sometime off the video to warn against the dangerous nature of this process makes me so happy becus some ppl forget to mention or just say do not try this at home and leave it there…

This is the best video I have seen yet for learning the process. All the other videos skip steps. Or don’t explain very well. Thank you. Im curious on what your thoughts are on using vinegar, salt, and hydrogen peroxide to make aqua regia. We can’t get nitric acid in Canada so I’m trying to find something else that works.

I truly appreciate your dedication and hard work, for that I subbed. ❤

Thank you for this lesson. I watched from the start to the end. Even though I have not understanding of those chemicals but I do understand that learning is a life long process. Their is so much to learn in life and to become pure gold in character we are to go through our crucibles in life.

Jordan this is crazy! Your talent and passion go so much further than surface level jewelry. Your depth of appreciation for your craft is one of the reasons I cherish my engagement ring (other than the man who gave it to me of course haha). It is an honor to have had something handmade by someone who truly is a master at the craft

Do you Need Personal Secretary ?

GREAT video and thanks! But, perhaps one of the most important questions to be asked is: where did the initial blob come from?😎

This was amazing to watch and I leanrt a lot! Fantastic video My Q: So has 9 carat gold just not been refined down? Or do they refine it amd then add a metal back in?

When working with such precious metals, through all the stages of the process you should always have a good tray underneath that heating element, as the lab glass beaker can easily break and then you lose a lot. I used to work on these, so for that reason I am writing this comment :)

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsactuin , Payment Handle ?

i didnt think i'd watch this all, but this was extremly enjoyable i couldnt stop!. Thank you for making this video!

That was so worth the watch. I have always wondered how it’s done and, you made it particularly informative. Thanks for sharing.

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsaction , Payment Handle All Over world ?

The orange fumes were mostly nitrogen dioxide and you were correct about not wanting to breathe those. They were also an indication there was a fair amount of silver mixed with the gold which was the main reason there was so much metal left after the first try at dissolving it. Silver doesn't dissolve well in aqua regia so it took several repeats. The gold you get when you precipitate it is incredibly fine. There's not enough surface on any given particle to really reflect light so it looks like clumpy brown flour. Just going by appearance, that button is 99%+ pure. The initial blob didn't look to be a very consistent alloy so you got a really good yield. Given that you hadn't done it before you did a great job.

If you have sodium or potassium chlorate you can make an even stronger aquaregua without any NOx gas generation since you switch nitric acid out and have the chlorate as the oxidiser. You can disolve in Bromine and bubble SO2 to purify the gold further. I will be trying both of these soon on my channel. All I have is one gold crown that is prob 16 karat gold with a bit of palladium and platinum, silver, copper etc

Random find for me, quite rewarding to watch. While the temptation to try this at home is fairly high, unfortunately I'm all out of random weirdly heavy blobs of metal.

LMFAO

Well done, man , it's people like you that make humanity continue forward .

This was incredibly satisfying to watch! Amazing content. Thank you for sharing.

It's refreshing seeing such a high yield. I'm used to reactions that you're lucky to break the 20s with, I was shocked it was so close to the predicted number.

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsaction , Payment Handle All Over world ?

That tester shown 10k gold. It could be 13k and it would still show 10k, next step was 14k, so the actual amount of gold that was there might have been higher.

This was byfar one of the best videos I have ever seen. You didn't go too heavily into the chemistry and kept it at a low high school level that was easy to understand. I can't wait to see you do the same for turning silver back into the pure ore. When you make the rings or whatever out of these blobs, please make it a bit of a retrospective of the whole process.

Well don't take this video as how it's done. He should have started the chemical process with straight nitric acid-->filter> rinse and theeen start with AquaRegia

Thank you for your time making the video. I really enjoy it a lot. Master piece!!!!

This was such a satisfying video!! How did they do this like thousands of years ago? 🤔

This was a captivating video. I learned and was entertained. Well done!

I am glad that i discovered this channel. You have a really amazing content.

Awesome video. I wish one day I buy all the equipment that you have and make similar kind of videos 😊

as a graduate chemist: great work dude. this was really fun to watch!

I'm glad you enjoyed! I'm not sure if chemistry is for me, but it was fun to try!

Love this video man you make me sure I wanna be a chemist or something like that when I'm older

Your work was incredibly well done & when this video came along, by "mistake" of some sort -YouTube algorithm, I found it smoothly meditative ! 3 I's - Ironic, Informative & Incredible ! Great job !

This was SUPER interesting. Entertaining, and I learned something. Keep posting Modern Goldsmith.

It was amazing seeing clay turned into gold. 🥰

Nice video. Did you keep track of how much HCl and HNO3 you ended up using in the purifying process? It would be nice to get an idea of how much you put into the process

Do you Need Accounts Services, Personal And Business Trabsaction , Payment Handle All Over world ?

11:58 imagine you're doing this, but then your brother comes in, mistakes that for orange juice and drinks your gold

I mean I don’t think I’d be worried about the gold anymore if he drank it😂

Fascinating to watch, thank you for taking the time to show us this

This was truly interesting and educating, thank you!

Next time try dropping it Into fabric softener instead of the water. And a larger container. It's more viscous so it slows the decent and helps cool and also has a higher boiling point I believe to help it not get all bubbly rough and porous. It's a method used to make homemade shot for shotgun shells.

It's the mercurial surface tension thing of the heated gold that I hadn't noticed before. Truly an enchanting metal

Beautiful video love the editing. I love the sound design. Absolutely beautiful. Keep at it man

This was extremely cool!!! I really love your channel because you, unlike other channels aren't a 'ultra luxe' channel showing off but you're actually interested in gold and your skills as a smith and in teaching us. ❤️ Will you do something with silver or titanium next?

I knew how to do this going into the video, but I still enjoyed your journey through it. Good narration, music, editing. All around good video. I have no clue what your other videos are as this was a random suggested, but I'm subscribing before I bother looking. :)

Incredibly awesome storytelling and video recording. Thank you so much

Those "piano moments" are perfect, in every sense of the word. Captures the wonder, complexity and beauty of chemistry. Bravo.

This video was so therapeutic. Thanks a lot for the gold lesson, too...👍

I must admit, I truly enjoyed your video! Very well done!❤
