This putrid puddle of slime is worth around $200 - $300...
It formerly resided in this sink trap under the counter of my jewellery shop. I haven't emptied it in over two years. It collects metals and stones that would otherwise wash down the drain. I'm guessing it will contain around 5 - 6 DWT. of karated gold. I'll send it to the refinery this week with a bunch of other junk and get a couple grand back. It's my own personal pre Christmas bonus.
WowThisIsFun
Some lovely filth over here!
Rowwie
As a jeweller, what a grand idea for the workshop...
AllegedlyTonyDutch
That's actually mildly interesting.
Jumacao
And here I was hoping this was sludge swept off of the road.

Happy to enfranchise.

From the thumbnail I thought it was on some pieces of bread.
notme222
Next time I rob a jewelery store I'll skip the display case and go right for the sink trap. It's the perfect crime!
breakingcode
It's a good crime,.. if you murdered the sink trap it would be the perfect crime.
vixisgoodenough
Gross and cool!
Lifesbeengoodtomesofar
Gross. Cool!
anniebananniezzz
Lol butthole.
GinaMcGee
Haha it's funny that u laughed at butthole bc its funny lol
jstnthms
There are people on the internet that would pay that much to sniff a literal butthole
ArsanyOsama
I thought it was a liver...
PappyMcPappers
Oh my...I hope not
carljtaylor
Thanks for sharing. I've learned something new today!
TyrannosaurusDexter
I have some shit under my sink if you want to take a look! You keep what you find :)
gordy77
Jeweller mate sold his carpet to a business man when he moved premises because he couldn't be bothered picking the metal and stones out
PappyMcPappers
Your mate lost money
gordy77
He wasn't an idiot, just didn't have time to extract it. He sold it knowing full well the stones and filings recovered.
PappyMcPappers
Fair enough, I've known idiots that have done that without knowing the loss. Claimed he'd been in the industry for years.
gordy77
My friend knew what he was doing and they both profited, my friend immediately and the business man eventually. My mate bought a smoker.
SmokeyBearD
I have nothing witty to say.
PappyMcPappers
That's better than "you mofo better deliver". I'm still trying to figure out wtf that means
ALRidgeRunner
I knew it was a fellow jeweler the moment I saw the dirty ultrasonic. Looks like Stuller packages in the bin too.
PappyMcPappers
Nailed it...extra upvote if you can guess the manufacturer of the ultra sonic.
ALRidgeRunner
Otto Frei!
PappyMcPappers
You win! I hope you love making shtuff as much as I do. I'll post more junk soon. Thanks for playin'
Madv1lla1n
A grand you say; but your opening pic statement is $200 - 300??
PappyMcPappers
I wrote that I'll send it off with some other junk, used sand paper, bench sweeps, sprew buttons and busted old chains.
iChangeMyNameToBeRelevant
what can they do with the used sand paper?
PappyMcPappers
Small amounts of gold stick to it. They are sent off to the refinery every year, I have a five gallon bucket stuffed. Pays for itself.
DinosaurFish
Read 'SPEW buttons' and wondered why you cats so much about house elves to have buttons laying around
DinosaurFish
Cared* dammit
PappyMcPappers
I'll give you an extra up for correcting it.
SquiggleBerries
Would you say it's Mold, but Gold?
PappyMcPappers
If I do, I'll certainly add @squiggleBerries in the byline.
SquiggleBerries
Byline?
PappyMcPappers
a line in a newspaper naming the writer of an article, I'm a little old. Still read actual news papers
SquiggleBerries
Ah
theresgoldinthemtherehills
I clean the u bend on the sink we wash our hands in once a month. Pull a serious amount of silver and gold dust out of it
PappyMcPappers
You should look into a different style of sink trap of it just had a standard p-trap. They easily pay for themselves.
Denturedog
As a dental tech I can smell it through the net
ReznorsApostle
Just dumped a plaster trap today. Dry chunk let loose and splashed the rest back in my face. Was supposed to be my day off, no shit.
Denturedog
You poor bastard, I had a disposable one that the tube broke on when I was pulling it out. It drowned my shoes.
PappyMcPappers
I have a 5 gal bucket I quench flasks in, it still doesn't smell as bad as this trap did.
Denturedog
I bet
RexiZehTurtle
Thaaaaaatttttssssss- disgusting
PappyMcPappers
Yet profitable
notchoosingone
I've worked at mines that process gold and we would send crucibles, furnace bricks etc off every now and then to have the gold extracted.
PappyMcPappers
I have baffled filters for my polishing machines dust collector, they cost about $350 to replace. I'll make about $350 when I send them off.
addms
Please do more stuff about the jewellery store. I found this interesting!
PappyMcPappers
I will, thank you.
aselfdefeatingattitude
Yes please. Like, what type of jewelry do you sell? What do you fix? What's the address? Safe combination? What type of security?
UncleBuckFutter
Guys. *jewelry... OP owns a store he can't spell?
PappyMcPappers
UncleBuckFutter
My mistake
PappyMcPappers
No harm done my friend
PappyMcPappers
Both spellings are acceptable. Jewelry is American, everyone one else who speaks English spells it jewellery.
TurinTuranbar
in a place I used to work the trolleys that truck chassis rails got painted on had rainbow onion layers of paint on them. Ugly AF on top tho
PappyMcPappers
I would love to make something out of that! I've seen it done, looks cool.
TurinTuranbar
pretty sure this is the bit in question. http://imgur.com/n0BlSrX
jiynxed
Called 'fordite'. Actually kinda valuable, used for jewelry now.
Ishalldefenestrateyou
Because of Ford in Detroit right?
tallbo
Because of ford paint yes. It being from detroit has nothing to do with the name tho.
TurinTuranbar
Yea they cut out a chunk and polished it up for display. Was gorgeous. This was at a Volvo/Mack factory so there was shitloads of the stuff.
andthedicestoppedrolling
So if I want to perform a low-profile robbery of a jewelry store, just steal the sink trap? Noted
ashipthatshipsshippingships
The Oceans movie about this would be anticlimactic AF but also satisfying because cash from the slime could buy them a nice dinner somewhere
BobRossHB
There is an old western movies where guys make tunnels all under town including the bar to gather gold dust and grains instead of mining it.
purplelama
That movie is called paint your wagons. It's really an amazing movie and you should all watch it.

A guy I knew in prison got busted for doing this exact thing.

you're not wrong, this is a first for me!
Valkor
Send a sample of it to CodysLab or some other fun science youtuber.
GreenFox
"Send your Christmas bonus to some YouTuber" yeah, I don't think that's going to happen...
KidintheCloset
@bdstagg plz do this! He'd be ecstatic for a project like this.
TehMightyEngineer
Oh please do this!
EnemaBucket
First thing I thought about was CodysLab
MiasmaCorrigan
Dude I love his channel!
Sirrussel5
Hah, as soon as I knew what that black gunk was, I immediately thought of him. Love his channel, and he seems like a genuinely cool guy.
icookfoodandfightfire
or NurdRage, im sure he would have a great time separating the metals like he did with the platinum
RingSting
This! Cody would go nuts over a project like this.
PananaBancakes
@codyslab
CaptainLegot
Or AvE, legend has it he was once a miner.

The kitchenaid review!!
DragonRc
I've always wanted to know what he did for a living
thatlamer
Dive into his older videos. Been watching them randomly as youtube suggests them, he frequently breaks down or fucks with mining stuff.
professionalpootalker
keep your stick on the ice
farfie
Everyone's been a miner once, if you catch my drift.
farfie
Upvotes for AvE though. One of the best channels. I've now incorporated 'chooch' into my vocabulary.

I don't think I'm catching it

Don't mind me, just posting to look up Cody after work.

I recommend his mining series as well as the bee keeping series.

Adding a dot here. For science.
TormentedPenguin
What's it taste like.. you know... for science and shit!
joegolf31
Goldschlager. Shitty tasting with pretty gold flecks in it to distract you.
JLNCHR
I'm sure it tastes like metal intoxication.
Falanxzealot
It tastes like a painful death over months. What a stupid idea.
SmellOfMonkey
LooseyGooseyBrett

I heard it tastes like a billionaire's asshole...
ColdRice
I'm sure it tastes like chicken
xmaneds
could be heavy metals; could be toxic. not worth it.
HairytheSheep
Eh, c'mon, we drink that shit out of the tap everyday
TormentedPenguin
SCIENCE.... sometimes it's worth risking OTHER people's lives for the greater good of knowledge.. :P
Spaminal
Isn't that pretty how we've made any significant scientific advancement throughout our short history?
PappyMcPappers
If it looks like shit and smells like shit, I'm gonna guess nope
ironhurricane13
Science was build on heaps
WeCouldAllGoPeeTogether
You're not allowed to guess when it comes to tasting. It's well documented.
xuriV
.. could be delicious.
PappyMcPappers
Nope...
SuburbanCommando
Yeah but if you eat it, there's a good chance you'll shit gold.
