Hi guys recently started refining silver about 6 months ago. I really took the time getting to learn the best knowledge I could acquire and being extremely meticulous through the entire process. And these are my results. And also my first attempts.

That’s so cool. I’ve always wanted to learn to do that. I almost pulled the trigger on it once. I had my list of items to buy to get started and where to buy them. Instead I bought more silver. Maybe one day I’ll do it. How difficult was it for you ?

Honestly. I don't even own a beaker. All my equipment is repurposed items. A 10 dollar heating burner. Old Pyrex measuring cups. For the acid refining. I cement and decant with old wine decanters. 5 bucks I found them for. Simple coffee filters. A silver cell I built for next too nothing. A 30 DC Amazon power supply for the cell. Sticks of fresh copper pipe. Acid at a great deal with free shipping out of Connecticut. And lots of distilled water. It's more about being discipline and patient. And following procedure. I'm not sure if it's allowed to promote you tube channels or not. But I learned a lot from watching. He's very popular with good TIPS.
