This guy uses Zinc to remove the silver from the Lead from the Galena he processed.
I spend hours sorting zinc from lead wheel weights and this guy adds it and it seemed to be immiscible (not able to mix). What am I missing?
People were roasting him as he only recovered 30 bucks worth of silver and it cost 50 bucks. I reminded them that that 50 pounds of lead is worth something as well. Rather like the copper recovered from Butte Montana that is “polluted” with 3 percent non copper. It’s ok as that 3 percent is gold. You need to look at the entire process and what you get out.
