Hello all, i am brand new to the forum. I have ran across some telecom Circuit boards that are 16" X 11" and the back side is 100% coated in what appears to be gold.
well long story short, i am researching before i begin this journey. Safety is always first. i have read quite a few posts here that are educational, and needless to say, youtube videos that are so so.. being brand new to the chemistry required to process this material, its hard to tell the BS from the real advice.
I have access to about 110 of these boards. they do have connectors, Pins, and certain boards have a large piece of Gold coated bands. it appears as though I'm sitting on ALOT of money here, so i want to be sure that i am doing this correctly. I do not have access to Nitric acid, so thats out of the question I'm guessing. so far, i have began stripping the boards of all components. i have taken a batch, which is just 1 board, stripped of components, weighing 200g, and am giving it a bath in straight Hydrochloric acid to remove Tin. i understand its trash in, trash out..
Anyhow, i am coming here to make sure that i am going about things correctly. i am open to any and all input.
Thanks in Advance!!
