This is likely Palladium, not gold. Hammond electronic organs have these on each "key". Here's a couple of pix of Hammond organ keys with the Palladium contacts. The older ones even had long wires...

Hey, I'm a beer can collector too! BCCA #24625 (If you are in the BCCA, I'm the guy who writes the Mexican can column. Smart move posting that here, these guys find lots of scrap in the woods.
...
I go to place where people shoot into a bank when I go shooting. On a whim, I took my 2'X4' gold classifing screen (it's a wooden frame with 1/2" mesh stapled to the bottom) and a shovel and scooped...
By folding down the tailgate and using a sheet of plywood hanging out the back I can fit three gaylords in a pickup. When they are crushed cans, it's worth it :)
I just save em till I have enough...
Being that it's a complete set in nice shape, I'd sell that on ebay first. I've seen on some of the escrap pages that people buy silverplated brass. I think the base metal often has alot of nickel...
I work in an electric motor factory and we sell it as #2 copper. Cut one set of end turns off like you see in the photo, cut off the lead wires and pull off any mylar slot liners that stick to the...
I get these out of big breaker boxes and switches off industrial equipment. They are 80% siver and 20% cadnium (the cad prevents arc burns). From what I understand, when you heat cadnium the vapor...
Best place to get gold is right out of the ground. Join the GPAA and go panning:)
Most are actually plated steel. HILTI is a big maker of these and theirs are steel.
That's exactly what I do with them. My favorite part is the big magnets. I mine gold and use em to separate the black sand in my sluice.
I get 404'ed when I click on this link, is it available somewhere else?
Wow, interesting response from the New York guy. Having lived all over the country, I'm pretty sure your comments apply mostly to the Northeast. That's just so typical of New York it's just hard to...
That looks like Palladium to me. I found a bunch of that inside old Hammond organs. Worth keeping though, Palladium is like $630 an oz.
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I was in here. Anyhow, I was taking apart a laptop today and the rear case is magnesium (it's marked so). I've never really run across it really for scrap, is...
Cool, another HAMBer on here! I'm fiat128 on the HAMB also.
Been on here for about 2 hrs trying to find out about this. I read on the SMJ Facebook page that old prewar lead pipe and flashing is "low alpha" lead and commands a premium price. I have some and...
I've had a few of those. I put them in a tub of water and peel the halves apart underwater. Not really worth it but if they've been outside for years in trash it's easy to get them apart.
Man there is no way in hell I'd keep doing buisness with a person like that. At any moment (always happens when you are down on your luck it seem) the guy could whig out again and send you packing. ...
You guys should live next to Mexico for serious competition. Any peice of metal bigger than a foot long laying on the side of the road gets picked up the same day it's dropped. None of these other...
Someone needs to call the ACLU on that one. It's not right.
I work in Juarez Mexico and half the buildings in the city are made out of pallets. I've been using them for 20 years to build stuff. Best part is they are mostly free.
I've been just breaking the whole connectors off the boards and then pulling the pins out while I'm doing something else. Also, seems to me most pins don't have much plating except those square ones...
Yea, I would like to be able to sell the ABS, I get lots of it tearing stuff down but I don't have the space to keep it and haven't found a buyer yet (you'd think that would be easier, everything is...
Found a large lawn & leaf bag full of printers the other day so I grabbed it. Tore appart the first one (a low end Lexmark) and was surprized to see how little metal there was in it.
There were a...
My local utility paid me $30 for mine. I had to plug it in and prove it ran (not got cold, just ran) and they took it and sent me a check.
It's part of a program to retire older less effiecent...
