I'll have to email my mentor to ask him if ICP is sufficient.
Working the filters this afternoon, having let the black settle out for the last month was due to laziness but it sure paid off when decanting the liquids. I can see why they call it cementing. I had to chip it off the bottom of the pail then getting it back into a small amount of liquid.
After the black powder was redissolved then taking the pail out into the sunlight swirl the liquid and you could see the metallics swirling around in the liquid then quickly settle to the bottom of the pail. I didn't think my camera would capture this picture.
Once the filtering is completed this is going to call for another assay, I'm in the wrong business.
On a side note I really appreciate that you guys and gals have not been to harsh on me over my spelling, finally figured out how to install a spell checker into Firefox. Then I went back and tidied up some of my spelling in previous posts, so that I don't come across as the Village idiot.
What I did discover by doing the tidy up job is that I can only go back and edit the last half dozen or so posts in a thread with out super user privileges. So if you have a goof up going way back you have to live with it.
