    Pure tin is the best and for the small amount you need to last you a lifetime won't break the the bank.

    Excellent vid. Iv gotta say, though iv never criticised you for it, i hate the spoon method! Haha But you did just sell it to me. I appreciate the logic and will see what works best for me... probably a spoon. Heh.

    Mike, if you filtered the stannous chloride solution to remove the impurities, would it have a longer shelf life? And you'd eliminate / reduce the chance of those impurities eventually going into solution, diluting the stannous chloride.

    Hello! Your videos are very good! I would like to ask, does stannous chloride only detect precious metals? Thank you!
  • What do you do with the liquid in the spoon after testing? Do you put it in your stock pot?
  • That's awesome, quick and easy. Do you save all of the test solutions and reprocess for the gold...ie...stock pot?

    what about the flux? does it cause problems?
