Out of pure curiosity. I have been collecting gold plated pins ( board pins, vga pins, gps/phone antenna blocks). All of them have been separated into full plated and partially plated.
My question is for a first newbie batch run. How much weight in pins should I start with? Most of the full plated pins are deep yellow/light orange. They appear to have a thicker plating than the light yellow hue of flash plating. However, looks can be deceiving. I pulled most of the pins out of old aircraft electronics/navigation units. I am an aircraft mechanic and I scrap the old units for free. Boss does not like the clutter in the shop. I am seeing ranges of .001-.008% yields in my research and was just curious what I should start with/ what is the minimum yield recoverable.
