Here is a refining tip from @jen_surine - βThis tip is one I picked up from @metalsmithsociety a while back, but it is such a great one, I had to share.
Running my tumbler water through a coffee filter catches particles of silver and gold. It literally prevents me from pouring money down the drain. Before I started doing this I honestly had no idea how much gold and silver the coffee filter would be collecting!
Once the filter gets gunked up I throw it in a bag that I send to my precious metals refiner, along with dust from my buffing machine, floor sweeps, and dirty rags I I use around the studio.
It all turns into money again.
Did you see all that glittery gold and silver caught in the filter? πβ thanks for letting me share Jen! So helpful to see! π #refininggold #refiningsilver #recycledmetals #jewelrymaking
