Hello all,
Such interesting reading in this corner of the forum!
I've been a miner for years in California and surrounding areas, experienced in most forms.
I have now taken on a new form (new to me)....urban mining! Was looking for some inventory to get started in the recovery process, you know...driving around looking for discarded scrap, well I came upon a little computer shop and thought i would stop in and just ask if any electronic scrap might be available. The first thing the shop owner said is "man I have been looking for a guy like you" He then escorted me to the back and said "please take all this off my hands". Well long to short...I ended up with 56 laptops, 42 intact towers, 13 printers, 13 flat screen monitors, many routers, and a 15 lb. sack of ram boards. Oh and over a dozen extracted mother boards.
What a blessing right ! Well, read, read, study, study and then get started...so glad I found this site! So many smart folks, Thanks to all!
