Long time reader from the shadows; decided to join the forum to see if I can gain more knowledge on the subject in order to attempt the recovery process at some point.
Currently in the planning process since this recession has put my hobbies on a back burner and I have no real funds to purchase equipment and chemicals.
I think I have around 10+ grams of gold and 30+ grams of silver in material which isn't much to some people on here but I think its a good start. I would also like to point out
that I'm not doing this for the money at all, I'm doing this to expand my knowledge of chemistry and to just have a hobby where most of the base components are free on
garbage day.
My material where I get my gold estimates from:
8 pounds of mixed transistors
15 pounds of mixed ic chips (dips/flatpacks)
350 grams of gold corner bga
2 pounds of DDR1 chips
1 pound of ram bga chips
1.5 pounds of gold fingers
2 pounds of ceramic ics (1 pound is white ceramic)
Countless TV boards (flatscreen and tube) waiting to be depopulated (need to wait since i broke my leg) and 5 more pounds of ram sticks.
