Hi All
I am new to this board and was hoping for some advice. My name is Mitchell and I am from New Zealand.
I purchased a "gold bar" made from CPU connector pins and RAM connectors. I believe most of the bar would be copper and nickel.
What is the easiest way to test and refine. As I have never done any refining before I am a bit lost. I was thinking of turning it to filings and dissolving all the base metals with acid and hoping anything left would be gold. Is this naive and have I just bought magic beans?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am finding advice hard to get because no normal person would melt PC scrap together.
Cheers
Mitch
