I think most of us would spit some out in good delivery form around about $15 per oz... but heck, C4T, by the time Agt breaks $8 per silver ounce, all the mothballed hardrock mines on the planet would be back in business and shuckin' and jiving speculators for production financing! Your story reminds me of a dude on SI-here who bought my book/complete kit several years ago, because he was a bodyshop man who did lots of goldplating of Honda cars' gingerbread for new car buyers. He used to allow the pregnant solution liquids to evaporate when the solution was more polluted than useful from the crap and gunk on the emblems, ornaments, keyrings, lock covers, etc. Then, he stacked the gummy gold residue buckets for "someday" when he'd figure out how to extract the remaining gold. It wasn't until he met me on-line that he saw a way to capitalize all that solubized gold gooey residue. I'm proud of that association, being called on to help and all...it was a real kick! Bodyman plating gig wasn't a bad living...charged the customer $250 a pop for about 20 minutes labor and 1/80th ounce 14K solubized Au per job using a low voltage brush plater. Pint of pregnant solution sold back then for about $25 per. Doubt he's sitting on the dore' now. He's currently into short-term trading and learning the options game in his retirement years, and doing rather well.<grin> RE: your silver recycler's offering to do it for free? Yeah, right...glad you shied them on!!!!(...the thieving rats.) The dirty SOB's should have at least offered to split it with you...I would have. Oh, well, unfortunately, all my competition isn't ethical! :( gold_tutor.
