Hi. Trey here. New to forum and rookie refiner.
I was at Goodwill Outlet and saw a couple of light switch covers with heavy gold leaf on them. Even the backs were covered. Most of you would have passed on them I am sure.
Anyway, at this Goodwill Outlet everything is 57 cents a pound US. So with lead being at 66c per pound I would still be ahead without processing that bit of gold.
I have done some plated lead jewelry and simply soaked in Aqua Regia until it came off then put the lead bits in a special lead waste bin for later processing. Those were very small items.
With these larger items, does anyone have tips to make it easier? It would be nice not to have to use a lot of AR also.
Thanks in advance.
