question about gold recovery

**moosescrapper** · 03-08-2013, 07:29 AM

I would like to sincerely apologize if I have offended anyone with my post. I did not intend to in any way make light of the gravity of the chemical procesess used in recovery and refining. I thank skylinejack for the kind words however am realizeing that perhaps it was a mistake to post a comment before reading the entire thread. I did not plagiarize other peoples posts as I had only read the first three replies and then made the rookie mistake of throwing in my two cents with out noticing that all that info was already there in the thread. I think that Scott is right in CLEARLY stating the dangers of using these chemicals. You can NEVER be too careful when recovering PM's. We may have different styles of encouraging people to read read read and study the hell out of what you want to do before doing it however the message is the same. Again, sorry Scott if my post seemed to step on your toes, that was not my intention. I agree that any question regarding such practices SHOULD be directed to the GRF. I also have to remind myself that not everyone thinks as I do so in making comments on forums I can not trust that the reader would do as I do and research and become as knowledgable as possible before starting in these processes. I spent at least six months preparing for my first attempt at using the A/P method. And yes, if you have to ask what that is, you DO need to spend some time in the GRF. The pics are a gruesome but legitimate warning to those using what i would consider an entry level acid. If you think the damage from that is bad, you havn't seen anything yet! Again, thanks Scott for being the sound voice of reason. To all those reading this thread, if you are able to derive tone from text and there appears to be some harsh responses, I don't think that is a bad thing. There are two sides to every gold plated RAM chip. The easiest side to see in the reward of the little micron thick flakes of gold, the harder side to see is the risks. You really can NOT hope to proceed with out fully knowing BOTH sides. Thanks for the info, and for tolerating my rant. Again thanks to all with the great info, and a plea of caution to those reading it.
PEACE!

I didn't take any offense at all over anything you said. Your post was actually very informative and worded very nice. I think it added value to what was being discussed. I feel kind of bad because you were not saying anything that shouldn't have been said. The problem really was that someone else used what you stated as a foundation to attack others from. It has nothing to do with you.

Don't ever stop posting the type of things you did in this thread, you are by no means or any stretch of the imagination incorrect in what you posted. Awesome job so far as I am concerned.

Scott
