You may find this thread interesting.Chris said that another member extracted $142 of gold per pound of T-05's and that was when gold was $950 oz.
But all the ones in the picture have gold plated bottoms barren.Barren Realms 007 said:I think that is going to be the ones with the gold plated bottom on them not the ones with out the gold bottom.

philddreamer said:I will run them separate from other materials. But I didn't get what acids to run them thru.
Today I'll finish crushing the ceramics, run thru some nitric to de-base, then P/AR.
While that "cooks", I'll continue de-soldering the panels, de-mask & AP them.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
philddreamer said:I will, its just that the owner needs some money, so I'll get some values now. I already advanced him $100.00 in cash. Its a 50/50 venture.
Thanks!
Striker40 said:The IBM CPU that mic posted was mine.I bought 4 of them off ebay several years ago when gold was around $300 a oz.I bought all 4 for $16.00.I hung on to them for a few months till i got tired of looking at them so i put them on ebay and got $1600 for 2 of them and $1700 for the other 2.I was told by a refiner in south florida that there was aprox 3 oz of gold in each cpu.20+ miles of fine gold wire in them.The refiner had close to 100 of them.I know what machines they came out of.They are very rare to find now.The back plane that they were in has a ounce of gold in the pins.I have more pics of them,but it will take some digging to find them.
Striker,you and I have had this discussion several times.Originally you told me the refiner said there was 4oz. of gold in each,but it does not matter because there is NO WAY it has even 3 oz.Striker40 said:I was told by a refiner in south florida that there was aprox 3 oz of gold in each cpu.20+ miles of fine gold wire in them.
They do not go into a backplane.striker40 said:The back plane that they were in has a ounce of gold in the pins.
