Hi all, new to the forum and see lots of good reading ahead. I've done a few searches and not sure I've found exactly the right info so probably not searching for the right phrase.
I spend most of my time refining silver due to the availability and price. Regarding gold, I have a few small bars that are reclaimed electrical scrap and probably contain very little gold. I'd be lucky to find 2g per 100g. I'm not sure how to process this? Is it worth trying to extract the copper or other metals?
Current thoughts are dissolve everything in nitric acid and see what comes out. I get a green colour using 18k purity test so it reads as plated, only it's a weak alloy. All suggestions and links (if this topic has come up already) greatly appreciated.
