looking for Levi
I’ve never harvested metals out of an
engine before so I’m meeting with Levi
today to see if he can help me out he’s
an expert at recovering precious metals
from a jet engine what kind of money do
you spend on it uh six grand this kind
of work it’s like really specialized
very difficult there is a opportunity to
make a profit but you don’t have the
guarantee going into it we’ll go through
it and and then you’ll pay me a piece of
the action
okay we’re doing the work thank you all
right right there perfect drop it down
so now we got to start dismantling this
a good sturdy from here on out okay
this isn’t for everybody it’s way more
difficult than I anticipated
if we find precious metals we both win
big if we don’t I’m the only losing
[Music]
alright Rosco yeah I gotta tell you I
knew we were in trouble when I started
taking this engine apart I could tell
when something’s been worked on this
engine is about 25 years old this has
been overhauled four or five times once
it’s been overhauled it’s done may you
strip away the gold I thought that was
what controlled the heat though I
thought that was like the Sun when gold
gets expensive they find other things
that work oh crap
so are you saying I’m screwed but we’ll
find out this engines already been
harvested so that means the gold we
thought might be here is gone looks like
I might be out six grand as soon as you
hit that go we got radiation coming out
okay this device is basically gonna
x-ray the metal instantaneously what do
you got we got a little bit of gold
that’s not even gold what is the
tungsten that’s tungsten tungsten
carbide
but there’s more so let’s see what else
you got stainless steel no gold nope
very heartbreaking here we go again
there’s no gold there either okay crap
man all right where we at 0 for 3 if we
don’t find anything we’re gonna lose
money on this yeah I felt horrified I
invested all this time money I probably
made a terrible mistake
