    Much like "reality" tv, utube makes a lot of things look easy. Half or better of those vids are BS.
    The leave out very very important points, such as, in refining gold, one mistake can lose your whole batch. One mistake or simple things like a small shift in wind direction, can kill you,your family, your pets, and your neighbors.

    Go to grf and ask the same question you just asked here. . Not trying to be harsh, just letting you know it ain't easy, and it's a big risk in many ways.

    Let's suppose you are successful at reclaiming your gold, you then have to have it refined, COST, and what are you going to do with a couple of grams of gold, unlike the utubers claim, your local jeweler isn't going to buy it. In order to sell raw gold you need ounces not grams and there are going to be expensive assay charges. To be salable you need certified .999 fine gold clearly marked by a certified refinery. just my .02
