There is some small amounts of copper but not really worth the time. Maybe just pop the copper components off and sell them as copper bearing material. where is the gold inside the chips? did not see any gold colored connection points on the board except for a very small section where the card reader inserts.

hey patner I just got about twenty of these boards. seems like it was a junction box or switch box for a communications hub. I would say late 70's era. I cut the gold fingers off and found a stash of what I think is gold plated brass connectors. that one silver component has gold plated button under it. I havent gotten around to taking any of the components off. the other silver box looks like copper winding but has a danger under high pressure stamped on it. Is there anything else that would contain anything good? I took the pins to a pawn shop because I could swear they were gold. the pawn guy looked at it and even he thought it was 24k because it was so deep gold looking.Test came out negative for gold though.
Unless you have X-ray vision, you WON"T see gold - they are inside the chips. Especially the large, flat square one with the gold corner - that is a BGA (Ball Grid Array) type processor. Look up green fiber processors using the search function.pimpneightez said:patnor1011 said:Red marked - places where gold might be

High grade boards like what? The boards from receivers like the one pictured?
