Mustang,
The Gold videos section has the AP video which shows all the steps to process the fingers.
Next you'll watch the HCl-Cl video, then the SMB video, and finally the melting video.

If your intentions are fingers, then his tutorial will get you going in the right direction. Also, Hokes book is a great resourse as well, it's the "bible" of gold refining.
If this is your first batch start small just to get used to the chemicals.
Do the reaction in a small container like a mason jar or beaker just to get the feel of it.
Don't be too concerned with the yields your first time.

With just a few fingers, stand them up in the jar so they lean against the side of the reaction vessel.
Cover the fingers 3/4 of the way over with 31.45% HCl.
Finish covering the remaining 1/4 of the material with 3% H2O2.
As the reaction strips the foils pull the individual stripped finger cards and rinse them with a spray bottle.
This small scale reaction may take as little as 48 hours.
When all the fiberglass boards are removed, process the foils as previously described in the video.
