Yes. I know these cables. It takes a huge amount in weight to make an appreciable amount. The gold you see in that filter can get lost in 1000ml's of solution. How much solution are you talking about? To give you a little perspective, if all the gold there was connected in a single sheet at that thickness, you would have no problem reading a printed page reading through it. It's not like foils you would find on finger cards. Fingers on slot cards may have gold up to 30 µin where the ribbon fingers may be as thin as 5 µin. There may be a tenth of a gram.
But, we will assume I am totally wrong and proceed from there.
It is possible that all of the gold that was there did precipitate. Leave it undisturbed over night and see what collects on the bottom of the container.
