Frequently Asked Questions
What yield of gold can be expected from this material?
Gold yield depends on your specific recovery process and the varying plating thicknesses across the individual connectors, pins, and semiconductor headers. Yields are not guaranteed.
Are any of the electronic components functional?
Components in this scrap assortment are untested pulls and salvage pieces. They are sold as scrap for precious metal recovery rather than working electronics.
What is included in this scrap assortment?
This scrap lot contains 140 grams of mixed gold-bearing electronic scrap, including connector pins, semiconductor headers, RF hardware, and module housings. All pieces are sold untested and as-is for material recovery.
Back when these boards were wired, engineers solved signal degradation by laying down real gold with a heavy hand - drop them in the recovery beaker or pick through the pins at your bench, the metal is ready for its next life.
