Show & Tell! Whip it out, let's see it!

[silversaddle1]

So on this thread you can post pics of your best scrap BEFORE refining. It can be anything- ore, E-scrap, karat stuff. Let's see your stuff!

Be sure to tell about it as well.

I'll start.

115 pound pile of clean gold pins from high grade data center networking equipment.

Sorry to say I no longer have this pile. A guy from Texas bought it.

Fair play. I'm taking my camera to work tomorrow.

*laughs*

That is a pretty awesome pile of pins mate. You any idea how many "eBay bars" you could have made? :twisted:

 

[Aristo]

Just for fun, no bragging.

 

[nickvc]

Silversaddle I love the infrerence to Warhol in your picture I hope the buyer appreciated it or was it just the gold value he purchased.

 

[Anonymous]

The ceramics are impressive........ (hate you) :twisted: :twisted:

 

[CBentre]

Aristo nicely done.....but your supposed to leave the game changers till the end. Sigh.....

 

[CBentre]

Sorry I had to remove my photos at my customers request.

This is what I'll be working on all winter.
The first is mixed PCBs, almost 6' high and the motherboard pile is 4' high.

Every mountain started out as a pile.

Don't be bashful, we want to see everyone's stash.

As far as what the pins did yield, I have no clue.

I second that motion, I started out with a screwdriver and a tower in my garage. With the help of a few great people and the vast knowledge here on the forum I was able to become a fully functional business in a very short amount of time. The only advice I can give is to stay dedicated and don't give up no matter what the odds are. It's not always pleasent and sometimes I'm putting in 130hrs a week but at the end of the day I can say I built this with my own two hands. Just keep pushing forward and the rest will become history.

 

[ttutone1]

This is awesome you guys! Thanks for posting this stuff.
Although now I'm jealous. :mrgreen:

This is a guess, on the high side of 6 grams per pound, I would say about 22 oz of gold.

 

[glondor]

My guess would be 345 g total. Still a very nice pay day, if the price was right.... 8)

Here are a few nice boards I had earlier this year. Had a total of about 200 lbs of boards, all with LOTS of RAM and gold cap ceramics. Came out of two large Silicon Graphics systems, each one the size of a very large fridge, each unit weighed around 1000 lbs.
