This is from an old email (last September!) that I saved for the info. I get emails from a yahoo group called Rock Collecting and Field Trips. The following was sent on behalf of Ken Rogers (from the Culver City Rock and Mineral club):
Anyway, Daniel has a BLOG where you can see these, same, and other, videos on precious metals and techniques. His latest Blog entry includes an exciting video from NASA on "Game-changing discovery reveals how gold is created in outer space", and an article entitled, "Ancient technology for metal coatings 2,000 years ago can't be matched even today."
In the latest MJSA's Product Showcase, I read:
"Precious Metals West is expanding our already extensive on-line experience. Please visit www.preciousmetalswest.com/blog for access to the very latest. We are publishing useful articles and great videos where you can see how casting grain is made or watch refining actually happen. The best thing is you can comment and chime in about manufacturing issues you need to solve."
I suggest you check it out. Ken
There is a lot of very cool info there on metals, so much that it will overwhelm you! I looked through some of it, but at this time, it is all way beyond my ken (no pun intended).
There are at least three blogs on there docscasting.blogspot.com/ , thekraftwerks.blogspot.com/ and palladium-experience.blogspot.com/ , articles and videos. Yes, Precious Metals West is a commercial venture, but there is just so much useful information that I felt I had to share it. Take a look and see if you think it is worthwhile. Jean
