Wouldn't it be nice to let your pet bacteria loose on your pile of gold pins, let them eat the gold plating off, and then excrete pure gold free of the base metals!

I hope you enjoy the article, I thought it was a very interesting read.

We've all got pet bacteria, just about everywhere in our body. Good thing they're fairly well domesticated.

A very interesting read indeed!!!! This would work wonders for Gold that is covered in solder as well.
But it seems that these guys would take a long time to be able to get the job done .
Thank-you Steve for the info!
