Cut gold finger percent gold content.

Hi! Anyone here have processed gold fingers before? how much is the gold content of cut gold finger material usually? Thanks

You can try the search function, it has been mentioned a lot of times. It depends on the grade of fingers, so asking for yield data on fingers is almost impossible. Too many factors in play for a definite answer. If they are all the same you can run maybe 2 pounds worth of fingers and get your own yield data, but you can only get really rough estimates if you ask anyone.

I average about 2 grams per pound on close-cut fingers from mixed sources. Heavier plating tends to strip slower. There is alot of yield data on fingers in old posts.

Thank you, Rag and Bone for the reply. This gives me a better understanding of what to expect.
Thanks to everyone who are sharing their knowledge to all of us who are beginners.
