Black Smd Tantalum

Hi folks!
For anyone wondering what to do with their smd tantalum capacitor, if they cannot find a good buyer (or a buyer at all) , I found this video here:

Basically the dude is extracting silver from it, but the tantalum itself is wasted. I didn't knew it, not sure if it can be applied to all the tantalum capacitors.

You will waste time and money getting the Ag out of SMD Ta caps.

That's true, I'm saying it for people who has not access to a buyer or have a very low amount of material so shipping cost is going to eat all the profit
