Are these worth anything? What are these?

There is some silver in those Crystal Oscillators. Acquire large batches. PIC 1.
Resistors toss. But sometimes crack the edges connections of older ones there has been gold plate.
Never find enough gold to process them though, been a waste of time searching. Pic 2.
Metalized Film Polyester capacitors, have some minimal silver.
I would suggest if saving these and processing, do it in very large batches.
Silver is minimal as far as I know. Saw a youtube from Asia, some silver present. Pic 3.
Personally I don't chase these, however if a person or company can acquire loads and process huge lots its possible to benefit from Pic 1 and 3.
Resistors have some other minerals in them don't think the small time refiner can get any benefit from them.
 
the black box in the third photo, next to the film capacitors - that's the relay.
a little silver on the contacts, brass in the holders and copper in the coil...

the lid is easy to remove...

in the first photo, next to the quartz resonators, there is something yellow - possibly gold plating, but it is not visible in the bag...

also, there seems to be a microswitch, black case... you need to rummage around in the bag
:)
