Hello ,
i never recovered or refine yet...I wanna start with reverse electroplating as ive got a loads of silver plated spoons and co. And little by little i wanna make a silver cell .but In europe since maybe 10 years you cant buy nitric acid if you re not a professional without obvious reason...so i gonna have to find some other ways...
I found some gold plated electronic stuff that i never saw before in a rubbish place...Im adding a Picture or two and if you know what is it give me a shot..
it s 1 cm and a half long on 5

Welcome to us.

There are obvious reasons to why Nitric is not available to everyone.
It can be used for bad things.
I am not convinced your items are Gold plated, but the pictures are not very well focused.
Silver can be stripped with a so called water cell.
Search the forum for water cell or H₂O cell.

Since you plan to process your items I recommend you to study these things:

We ask our new members to do 3 things.
1. Read C.M. Hokes book on refining jewelers scrap, it gives an easy introduction to the most important chemistry regarding refining.
It is free here on the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=19798
2. Then read the safety section of the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/forums/safety.47/
3. And then read about "Dealing with waste" in the forum: https://goldrefiningforum.com/threads/dealing-with-waste.10539/
