I am curious how would you tackle these. They are for the most part loaded with tin, quite a lot of solder balls still attached but this tin should contain some gold too. Plastic is little bit problematic here, it is akin to torture to try to remove pins from housing, perhaps some milling or grinding and then using water to lift plastic out may be a way to go. Some of our friends in asia may be inclined to use concentrated H2SO4 to remove it I cant for obvious reasons. Is there some other path I cant think of? I do not have any enormous amounts only couple hundreds but they add up and I need to think about what to do with them in future.
