    Gold and Silver from Electronic scrap

    I live rural making it difficult to obtain great lots of e-scrap. Since i started refining my own I have recovered 3.85 lbs of silver along with 1.5 troy ounces of gold.

    It is better to sell your boards, the labor is intensive, the chemicals and acids are expensive then you have the waste to deal with.

    I must admit though I have learned a lot about metals I never knew before and find it very interesting that you can take a solid metal into a liquid or powder as a salt then back into a solid or even a gaseous state and back into a solid or liquid.

    For this that wish to learn more on refining precious metals there is a good forum for this located here
    where you can read what others are doing or ask questions when you run into a problem.
