Those rhodium plated parts would have been nice to have had back in March when it was over 10K per ounce. Sweet find.

 

[DNIndustry]

yeah. no crap. I did some more digging, found 2400 grams of similar rhodium/gold pins. got some bag cutting to do be for I can say for sure. Anyone know what military standard rhodium plate thickness is?

Probably not much rhodium on them at all. You could probably get a good estimate of the rhodium content if you got a surface area on them. I recall that Rh is plated thinner than gold in all cases, but this is mil spec so it may be extra thick. I imagine goldsilverpro would probably have the best handle on this one.

DNIndustry,

Lookup the NSN number (either cross referenced online or from the part/packaging) and you can find the exact amount of Rh and Au and/or the plating thickness on each pin.

Here's where I covered this last year:

I have 145 of these cannon connector kits. 8 thick short pins on one side, about 50 thinner pins on the other, both are 1/2 gold plate and another metal. This should help.
