Greetings and stuff from Montana~

My name is Thaddeus, I hail from the capitol city of absolutely nothing to do, I just recently became interested in ALL metals, I've been a silver addict for around 10 years, my adventure started when I was 12 or so, When I had absolutely no clue what was going on, I had a silver dollar, this was when silver was worth around 5 bucks an ounce, I only begin to notice what was happening when silver was at 8 bucks, anyways, I bought me a candy bar (.80 cents) with my silver dollar, after I did this, I realized that ... you know, metal had a value, other than the dollar it stood for, I was quite pissed when I realized what I'd done with my silver dollar, after that mishap, I started buying up silver wherever I could, eventually I had acquired around $1000 worth of silver, chains mostly, and during some hard times, I liquidated my stash, this was when silver was at $12 an ounce, and to my horror, silver was (seemed like immediately, but I don't remember), anyhow, silver jumped up to 20 bucks and kept going, after I'd made another mistake by selling my stash too early, so here I am, and it's MY turn to be exploiting all these metals before copper and silver are the price of gold, so that's my story and experience with metal, I'm ready for a new chapter, in which I make some money on this scrap!!!

Nice to meet you guise!!

Welcome to the forum Thad. I scrapped in Helena many years ago and there was a literal gold mine of metal up there!

weird plugin wifi adapter, I don't expect to become a scrap guru right away but I have all the time in the world on my hands, Is all the gold looking stuff on circuit boards and the like really gold? I was pretty indiscriminate about what I pulled off and put into a bowl. I don't wanna miss anything,

I need to acquire some metal melting stuff, like a crucible, a furnace, a stirring stick, (right? what else do I need to make myself some silver/gold ingots anyways? I'll start digging around the forum and see if I can't find it on my own too)

Also does anyone know the cheapest I can get these things for? is there a certain brand that's "the right one"? or any that don't work? It would be good to get some inside knowledge on that sort of stuff, thanks in advance, a few links would be awesome.

Thanks for lookin out guise, I just started, so I'll definitely go through this whole site and vacuum out as much knowledge as I possibly can, what are those things from that you scrapped, computers? and how much are they worth?? what's the most profitable thing to strip?

Alright, i'm scoping out some forum goo right now, thanks you guys, i'm sure ill be asking a whole lot more.

Whats up freonjoe, where did you go to find stuff? where might you recommend going now days? where did you sell your loot to? i'm looking to hit this hard soon.
