I finally have been able to save 3 troy ounces of gold I have recovered and refined, or had toll refined for me!! I have actually produced more refined buttons than shown here but I always ended up selling them for one reason or another.
The lowest one is my latest and comes in at 16.5 grams. Some of the scrap that was refined was some fingers from some old telecom boards. These boards were actually steel (not fiberglass) and coated with some reddish epoxy-like paint upon which were the copper traces coated at the fingers with the requisite gold, and I presume nickel. I had never seen metal boards before. I should have taken a picture. Also in that batch was some metal cap transistors, pins from some 70's era telecom, and about 3lbs of slot card fingers. I decided also to refine a lousy looking button from a previous refine. All in all came out really nice, I think.
