Hi nickvc,
Thanks for the welcome.
What you posted is definitely appreciated. I think I am personally a ways a away from attempting to refine myself. I have almost always appreciated metals, PM's in particular.
I am amazed at what I have personally thrown away in the past. In the early 90's, I used to haul away abandoned items and junk left behind at rental properties. Back then, there was almost no E Waste recycling or recovery widely available. At the time, all I was ever aware of, was that no dead computers or parts were worth anything.
I love this forum's network of people. I haven't been here that long, but have participated in other forums with different subject matters; inventing, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), art, physics, and reading at Kitco. I think this place has the best code of conduct I have seen so far. 8)
I still run across some stuff every now and then, jewelry included. I will probably keep reading, collecting more material, and offer trades with what I come up with when I can.
Thank you again.
It's much appreciated
Levi
