    Hi everyone,
    Just saying hello I'm am sort of new to stacking and I'm from south coast of nsw.
    I've been buying gold and silver junk items for about 4 years and I have finally converted it all into bullion, geeeez I didn't realise how addictive this could be and now I spend every spare cent I have on pm's.
    Anyways happy stacking everyone

    Hi Schowzas,

    Welcome, did you refine your junk Au/Ag yourself?

    Hi Brad
    Nah it was all broken gold jewellery and silver jewellery, perfume tops ect and I sent it in to a gold company who swapped it for abc bullion.
    I do have a fair bit of rolled gold, and computer fingers and CPUs that I would like to have a go at refining but I am stuck on where to get nitric acid :)

    Easier to sell it and use the money to buy bullion.

    Welcome aboard!

    Beat me to it :) But welcome anyway.

    Jis, Agreed, there are some chemical supply stores that you can buy from in Brisbane but Nitric acid was expensive and to me not worth the effort. That hasnt stopped me attempting to make the worlds worst .925 silver bars with a MAP torch and graphite mold...
