Hello and welcome!
Start by learning about tantalum, you can sell them straight away:

In MLCC you could find palladium and silver, in resistors platinum and silver but those comes with a warning called ruthenium (please search on this).
Gold will be in most, in your case all, black epoxy covered integrated circuits. You highlighted only the two sided IC chips but all quads will have more. It id also in all connectors, VGA, LPT, etc..
My 2 cents.

If your first post was to ask where the gold is on these boards, it is a good indication of what level you're working at.
This isn't meant to be a put down at all but rather an observation so don't take offense.
If we pointed out all the bits that contain precious metals I'm willing to bet what your next question will be.
If you are serious about this venture of extracting tiny blobs of shiny metal from e-scrap, you have a monumental task of studying and learning some skills in front of you.
As well, you run a high risk of being exposed to some very dangerous and toxic chemicals. The scrap in those pictures is not high end and the yields will lower that you could hope.
My advice to you would be sell the scrap (if you're permitted) to get the cash fast and easy.
