OK so this is a mixture of random material all gold plated. It weighs about 1 1/2 pounds. It consists of Anything that’s gold plated in computers, phones, tablets, tvs, radios, etc… it’s all cut from the circuit boards. And most of the fingers were peeled from the circuit boards. Some of it is semi-magnetic though which I’m assuming is goldplated steel. So I’m sure I would have to separate as I think those two can’t really be processed at the same time as the material that’s gold plated and not magnetic. It’s about 40 phones, 40 laptops/computers, 25 tvs/radios/recievers, a couple super computers (that’s what I call them, im unsure of what they are classified as. They were “California instruments A/C power source” which were some electrical engineering equipment
which cost $10,000 or so 30-40 years ago) and numerous other miscellaneous crap. Also, what is your opinion the best way to process this

The last mixed lot I did that looked like that I got .7grams from it. I did have just over 2 pounds of it. The truth is with mixed lots such as this, you get what you get. It is to varied from lot to lot to get accurate estimates. Please let’s us know how it comes out when you get around to doing it.
