Looking to learn

New member here, been collecting scrap for some years.
I am hoping to wrap my head around the process of refining some old computer scrap. Been gold prospecting for years, ready to add a new twist.

Welcome.
Be warned prospecting and treating what you find there may be easier than E-scrap.

Here are some of the knowledge you will need:

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/

I have yet to discover any easy gold prospecting. Thanks for the recommendations, I have downloaded "the book".

Then think about what w-scrap means

It might be easier to find , but not in amounts that makes it viable for a easy income.
And it is "harder" to recover and refine.

Again, easy income isn't anything I know. Just looking to expand my methods of gold extraction.

Easier is subjective to the user. As my body gets older, I am ready to expand into something less physical. I don't sell any of my gold, so I don't look for easy income, just a hobby.

Then you are in the right place
