what is the most you would pay per gram for fingers ? am buying them in 60 gram bags for 20.00 now but gonna start getting larger bags as soon as I receive L S "s disc on refining gold.thanks in advance for looking.
That depends on the fingers and you. Are they CLOSELY trimmed? Are they from modern RAM, slot processors, old ISA cards? Are there gold traces on all the spaces, or are some missing? How good are you at processing them? I think there are too many variables to answer your question.dirkclod said:If I don't pay over .10 per gram in lots I will be fine ? :roll: :roll:
Take a breath and slow down. 8) I doubt it will be a problem in this case, but one of the rules here is that you don't edit a post you've made that would change the thread or the tone of your post. Take your time. Get familiar with the rules. Then think through what you're going to post before you push the button.dirkclod said:retracted what I wrote and am sorry Frugal. will not happen again.
That sounds like a classic case of gold fever. You're not the first one to catch the disease. Just don't let it cloud your better judgement.had good luck with A/P first time and have gone crazy about this !
What's the hurry? There will be fingers available for a long time, and you can find them for less than what you've paid. The reason I asked about the type of fingers is that they are not all created equal. As you can deduce from the posts above, the gold on fingers is only a tiny percentage of the overall weight. That tiny percentage is further affected by the type of fingers, regardless of whether they are closely trimmed or not. You have to consider the thickness of the fiberglass board, the closeness of the spacing of the gold portions, etc. A pound of the best fingers can easily produce several times the yield of a pound of the worst fingers. If you don't want to lose money, you would be best served by keeping it in your pocket while you learn everything you can. Then you can make an informed decision.WILL read and watch Stevie's video before I do any more but I do want to go ahead and buy fingers while I can and didn't want to lose money..
