Hi all

In part exchange I have 10 kgs of flat pack chips , 760 grams of pins from cpu's, 726 grams of capacitors from cleaning ram sticks and a blue bowl concentrator

A picture of your powders would help the colour is usually a good indicator of purity.

The first and third pictures are the same image, and I can't tell anything from it.

That's not like any gold powder I've ever seen.

Hold on Guys...never mind the pictures,,did you say you ran this material through a Blue Bowl?? I’m going to make a Best Guess hear an say that you’ve most likely washed most of your values out...and all you’ve retained is mostly the heavier copper an iron( if any) parts of your chips...The Gold Wire Bondings in ALL chips are very small and very light in weight in comparison to the rest of the chips components,, the best way that I’ve found for separation is GOOD OL’Fashion panning using conventional methods that gold prospectors use,,, seriously those gold wires are so small you wouldn’t be able to see them wash out if you looking...I would go back through your wash and check with a pan before proceeding any further

Hi
In the 1st photo you can see what looks like gold wire through a jewellery eye piece , the last picture is what went through a aqua Regia and then dropped with smb .
Am I better just trying to melt this ? , all it is that I know I'm losing a lot of money ( stupidly bought all rams ect.. from eBay ) and didn't want to ruin what little value I had left by doing this myself
