    New to e scrap/ introduction

    Hey everyone names Jonathan from North Central Florida. Just got into e scrapping. I'm going for gold and silver thinking about palladium.

    Jw. Can you sell stripped motherboards n other circuit boards that gold n IC chips n all have been removed from?
    And what exactly is the reason to use auga rega on fingers why can't you just smelt that down before acid.
    Tips for places to collect e waste?

    I would advise not to use acids and/or smelting. Too dangerous. Just buy/collect, make a profit and be happy.

    We don't get into refining of pm's on this forum. There is one that is just for that purpose. I suggest you follow APA's advise. Collect and sell. Read the old threads for the very best education in all forms of scraping. Read the reviews of the buyers here on the forum. 73, Mike

    Welcome to the forum from the far northwest suburbs of Chicago. All the above advise is great to heed. We all leave PM refining to the pros. Collect, dismantle, sell, start over. Happy scrapping

    Ty tski72, n yes I've found that out! I promise to keep my thoughts n questions to that aspect to myself! The pros became just that through time energy effort and extreme amounts of study. I am here to learn n if I can help about anything I can related to scrapping... I do apologize for taking my questions out of the parameters of this forum and won't happen again. I simply didn't read enough on here before starting my thread again my apologies.
