    Some Gold Tidbits and Where to Find Them,

    I was tearing down some smaller misc. stuff and found a couple of gold tidbits that you might want to look out for.
    These items were on low grade boards. Not much to them but for me it all adds up after awhile.
    First is a small board standing upright inside some computer power supplies. I tear them down to normally pull the wire as they only pay .13 a lb for them.The gold is in the small jumper pins that fasten the small board (about 2"x2") to the main board upright.





    This lil chip comes from the laser mouse (mouses or mice?). It is mounted in the center of the small brown board inside. About the size of a dime. There's more than just a cord inside them. Enjoy,,



    Sorry for the crappy pictures.
