    Yes. In most cases gold in nature is found WITH mercury.

  • @almouloudi You would have to evaporate the mercury

  • Am I the only one who finds this guy's stare piercing?

  • Hi, can we get Gold back .

  • @dlmarti Heat it up, the mercury evaporates sooner and stuff man.

  • how did they get the gold back out of the solution?

  • @fuugon gold period, foil pretty much means flattened

  • what happens if the gold has cooper silver???

  • does it has to be pure gold so the mercury gets the gold, or does it has to be gold foil??????
