Gold content in CPU chips

I had no idea there was gold in computers. I have taken many many towers apart down to the boards and turn those in at one place that buys them. first I remove any wiring and aluminum. Which chip is the CPU and how many would I need to turn in for gold? Is that how you do it; turn the chips in whole?

Boy did I screw up, im a Firefighter by profession and just started scrapping. A few months ago, before I got into this, a local sporting goods store shut down and told the FD we could have anything we wanted out of there, after all the product was sold. We got some shelving and other odds and ends and used the building for some training. Anyway, when it first shut down there were a bunch of old desk top towers just laying around, never thought much about them before. Went back today and only found one left but there are a bunch of monitors which im going to collect for copper. Live and learn.

Most people don't know about the gold in computers an it was something people did not go around telling for a wile. Reason being they did not want others to know what was going on in the back ground an why people wanted them. So they where able to charge to remove them an then take them apart an harvest the gold an other metals from them. Now there are a good bit of people who KNOW about it an the word is getting out there an that is part why computers are becoming hard to come by but at the same time there is more of it out there...just have to dig for it.

Nice thing is that there are still a load of monitors laying around so I can score them. Just have to go back with my vehicle wouldn't look good loading a dozen monitors into the engine.
