Most karat mixed with GF usually won't have any markings at all.

Most of mine come from yard sales, flea markets and certain kinds of thrift stores. I do buy some from a gold buyer, but I also process some for him as well. I have known most of my sources for many years, just from working with them in other areas. Much of my computer scrap came from the shop where I bought my computers for years. The thrift shop type I look for are the small ones, what I term "Mom and Pop" type shops. Again I buy gold filled at a couple of them. And again, they were people I have known for a very long time. I also spent some time convincing them to buy it, as their normal gold buyer doesn't. One of my main sources is a coin dealer that I have known since the early 1990's that also buys gold and silver. Since I have been working his gold filled for him, he has started questioning me about doing some of his silver as well. Soon as I have this next lot ready, we will be discussing that as well.
Some of my advice, become a bit OCD about it, talk to everyone all the time looking for sources, while being a bit cautious as well. Some good sources come from some rather odd places.
