Finally saying hi

[Mike1286]

Hi all. I joined this forum a good while back after hearing about it on the scrap metal forum. (Hello to you guys since I know there's quite a few who frequent both forums). I had been scrapping for years but when I came across the smf, it gave me the knowledge to expand from simply metals to ewaste as well. It also gave me the courage to start up my own business. Delving into ewaste has opened up many more opportunities for me to make more money and expand on my passion for recycling. As more and more ewaste comes to me, I'm starting to get gold fever a little bit every time i see a nice shiny plated surace. Lol. For now I'm selling my boards whole. Mostly to cfcs from smf. But I am saving some components that I hope to one day transform to actual physical gold. Whether by my hands or a toll refiner or other method, I have no idea yet. But Id love to have a few of those pretty little buttons so many of you have pictures of. I'm a long way off from that but I will be doing a lot more reading here to determine which route I'd like to take and find the tools/meet the people to achieve that goal. Thanks to all who've posted the content I've read so far and all the stuff I haven't gotten to yet, and thanks in advance to all that will be helping me moving forward.

You are in a good place if you are interested in learning!
Study the art of processing and refining and your journey will
be much more enjoyable then those who choose to dive right
in without doing their homework first! 8)
