Cobalt Extraction Fail/Success

I am trying to collect elements from everyday sources and my recent experiment worked on extracting cobalt, but failed in producing a large chunk for my element collection. Thought this may be somewhat useful to some people although the chemistry is quite dirty and old school.

Leave a comment if you have any ideas for element extractions that I havent covered yet. This was my third failed attempt at extracting cobalt so after my third failure I just buy the element online. So cobalt is out now.
