Good afternoon everyone,
My name is Rocco ( italian mother so there are many more names i don't want to bother you guys with haha ). I'm 32 years old and counting. Though i keep celebrating my 18th birthday every year !
Location : The Hague in the Netherlands. Along the west shore near the sea.
Profession : I work at serveral railroad companies. We do allot of maintenance such as welding and shifting the rails. We also build in new rails and rail switches. I also build in safety systems for the railroads but thats mostly work i do in the summer.
Hobbies : Car detailing and restorations. I have 5 old vauxhall cars wich i build with my dad and completly restored them. Having my own garage ( wich can never be to big ) i at least have the room to do everything myself. I also like scrapping metals from work. I also have my own devil forge to melt copper and aluminum to make bars and stock them so i can sell them when the prices are more profitable.
Interests : Learning new things i can build with my hands or anything wich requires physical work with my hands.
How long have you been refining gold or have interest in precious metals? : Since 2 years now. I was working on a new safety system for the railroad when all of the old equipment was thrown away. I was looking through the containers and noticed that there ( besides copper that i tend to scrap ) was allot of gold plated PCB, switches and so on. I then searched my biggest friend google and found this forum. Here i got provided by way to much information that costed me a half of a lifetime reading and learning wich parts were worth saving for recovery of PM's. So for now im still scrapping from allot of different PCB plates that come from the safety systems ( allot of tantalum capacitors, MLCC's and gold plated pins). I want to start learning how to process it myself and gain the precious metals inside.

Here are some of the PCB i tend to scrap allot. Most are lower quality since i allready broke down the higher grade boards and sold the plates as scrapped ones. I can get them for free at work and could easely sell them to the nearest recycle stations but my interest in getting the PM`s out is bigger than selling the whole boards.
