The only gold on the wafers would be on the back. If you can't see anything that looks like yellow gold, there isn't any.

Like etack said, GET RID OF THE ALL CAPS. It's too hard to read and we don't allow it.
 
the someone may buy the silicon for scrap, but you mentoned something about lab glass... get some pictures and post them... you might have some interested people here (like me) that might be willing to buy it if the price is right.
 
I'm sorry. for the caps... I almost cut off the tip of my thumb on thanksgiving & have a few stitches & it's somewhat burdensome trying to type.. I apologize.. I am located in Phoenix, Arizona.. After I posted I came across the wafer recycling companies- any particular one that is recommendable?? Here are some pics of the glass/quartz..

In the 8th post I think there is a picture of some metal lab ware. Sifter cup and 2 more things not the scrub brush.

I am no expert on lab ware but all the silver colored metal lab ware I would test for platinum. With all the chemicals involved with wafer production I am pretty sure that that there may be some platinum lab ware used. Lou would know more about that kind of thing also freechemist and the other chemist on here. Maybe they will chime in.
 
Should I presume that these are Gold backed Wafers? All of this is amazing to me yet so unfamiliar.. I draw & write.. Things that I know nothing of or about I like to try to learn & absorb what I can.. I really appreciate all of your replies suggestions & help...
