something that popped up on boardsort

so, a member on the boardsort forum posted and interesting picture the other day which has generated some, ''wild'', speculation. I am just wondering if any of the refiners/scrappers here have run across any of these and know anything about them. I have my suspicions as to what it is, but was wondering if anyone can confirm what they are and/or know yields...

if nothing else, it could be an amusing read

anyway, the photos are right at the start of the thread...

thanks,
Mike

that's what my guess is... pretty sure it's not a missile guidance chip anyway, has anyone tried to refine any of these? I haven't seen any of these in person, so I am kinda wondering if the gold is an artifact of bad light setting on the camera possibly...

I was just wondering since I haven't ever seen one quite like this before.

Just wondering what the guy who said gold is well under $1000 spot is smoking?
