Turning old jewelry into pure gold bars

  • Follow-up video on NileBlue (my second channel): • Cleaning up my gold waste
    A few months ago, one of my patrons sent me a bunch of old gold jewelry for me to refine. I originally thought that it was going to just be some gold plated stuff, but it turned out to be quite a bit of gold. I was able to purify out all of the gold and then melt them down into some small 24K pure gold bars.

      You’re kind of obligated to be honest in a situation like that. By any means, even if it were greed.
      That gold was worth less than $4,000. His video brought in more money than that. And not only that, if he were to scam them out of their gold, he would potentially lose all credibility and his channels would be finished. (They both make hundreds of thousands combined annually)
      If he were a poor man, and no one was watching him, and he could get away with it with no risk, that’s how you know it was done out of honesty.
      I’m not ripping on Nile btw, we don’t know him personally, I’m just saying that there can always be more depth and reasoning to someone’s actions and demeanour.

I just can't see someone sending in a $17,000 watch to be scrapped for the gold content in it, which has to be minute at best. I'm sure I will feel stupid once someone explains it to me!

      Isn't my area of knowledge per se, but its a datejust 36 16203 (80s). The magnification on cyclops looks all wrong which makes me think that it is either a counterfeit or that the crystal was replaced with an aftermarket sapphire / glass (perhaps it broke). Regardless, more of a $3.5-4K than a $17K watch.

    As an Indian woman, while not rich, I've accumulated some gold (Indian marriages tend to involve jewellery), not to mention what my mother has. I don't wear jewellery. My mother doesn't enjoy it either. Too expensive to throw away, too awkward to sell, since I have no clue of the purity and such of many items. It sits forgotten in the cupboards as the orthodox "insurance" for a rainy day. This is the first time in my life I'm eyeing it with interest...

      if you are often doing chemistry (has his own fume hood for example), the chemicals he had on hand would indeed have been common chemicals to have around.
      both nitric and hydrochloric acids are used in a LOT of chemical reactions. He would indeed have just had those on hand already.

      if Nile didn't know how the periodic table works, he'd never know which acid to use, when to use and what was getting dissolved based on the color of the soutions. There's no chemistry without period table my friend. Sometimes we do have to memorize some trends that goes along in the periodic table (obviously with some logical reasoning)
