    Took about 30 minutes for the whole endeavor; The only downside, is that I got stung 4-5 times by some frickin' yellowjackets.
    Grab some tomato leaves off a plant and crush them, apply the juice to/around the sting. It neutralizes the poison in the sting and the swelling/pain will go away.

    Today's take was an old HP printer (Found a ton of gold "Fingers" in it, and a high grade board), and an old service battery a buddy of mine gave me. He gets stuff through his place of work, and they tell him to toss it into the dumpster, so for me, it's GAME ON.

    I'm gonna weigh the gold out in a bit and see how much it truly weighs.

    The gold pins that fell out just buy flicking the board (Well, they're more like little TINY springs: Weighed out @2.2 grams.

    No idea how much gold is in the board itself. So it's just gonna hang out in storage til I figure out what to do with it.

    Is that your truck? A scrap truck? Just the light broken? Im confused on this post!!
    I was in the backseat one time and my grandpa hit one. We were in a Chrysler 300. One of the legs came through the glass and was sticking through the window between the two front seat. Huge SMASH crash boom and the next thing you know this creature frantically stumbles up/off the hood and hops on 3 legs down into the woods. TOTALED the car and he hobbles off (im sure he died eventually... but still)

    Yeah, that's my truck. It's my everything.

    I scrap with it, I drive it to work when applicable, it gets me anywhere I need to go...

    Has even played home to me once.

    So now it played wrecking ball to some deer?
    Bad luck man! Best of luck with a quick turn around!
