I've been watching videos on how to extract gold from electronics for a couple months now but none of them tip you off to what electronics to look out for specifically. I just need like a quarter ounce maybe 2/3 troy ounce at most. I want to propose to my girlfriend, and am planning to make a ring for her from scrap products, long story short she's super into recycling and other lib-shit. I already polished various color scrap glasses for the "stones", and I just need the recycled gold to finish the project, so what scrap/trash electronics am I gonna need to look out for to get the gold from?

If you saw my girlfriend you would not consider it bragging. Her looks are unfortunate at best. But I love her, she my ugliest little princess, no one wanted her but me. She's the pinnacle of: she has a great personality. Ugly as hell physically, fat as fuck, but had the personality of an angel. Now tell me how to get a bit of gold so I can make this fat ugly bitch my wife.

RAM modules, I know have a significant amount of gold in them.

When you have enough gold snipped and melt everything down, pinch a log into the molten gold. For the keks.

CPU has it

I ain't too sure, you need to check on this but old phones. I'm talking the button keyboard type. Specifically their sim card trays contain a pretty significant amount. Good luck

You're looking for interfaces between high-speed tech. The teeth on PCIE cards, SIM slots etc. Those are usually gold plated. Even RAM, but you're better off selling that intact at the moment.

Why not retrieve rare metal particulant dust emitted from failing catalytic converters held in curbside dirt?

I don't think you're hippie tranny gf will appreciate the nasty chemicals you need for gold extraction

>>107954104
NTA but even bad/dead RAM?
>>
>>107954104
Pretty much this, all kinds of interfaces and plugs. There are gold bond wires in chips but they're all encased in epoxy resin which is a fucking pain to remove. All gold plated contacts are right there, just have to dissolve the gold with aqua regia. Note you will get every metal there is in there and you'll have to purify it so it might not be even worth it if you have to take into account all the chemicals involved. Gold is expensive now though so it might be worth it, haven't run the math.

You're better off restoring that "retro tech" if you want a hands on way to make money with it than to scrape it for gold. Much more profitable now.

If you try to do this yourself, the most likely outcome is accidentally dying from mercury poisoning. Abandon this course of action and look for some other way to get a ring.

A soul's weight cannot be measured in gold. You are not a real wizard.

That that is new and valuable.

>so what scrap/trash electronics am I gonna need to look out
Old electronics with large edge connectors such as ISA cards. Good quality connectors are gold plated to make sure contact remains good.

you cannot into lead oxide or require massive skillset

Find old workstation and server hardware, I mean like pre-2000 stuff. I've got some ancient suns and HP shit, kinda thinking of doing the same. Plenty of gold plating on big ass chunky connectors.

Nasty business though, lots of bad chemicals. Aqua Regia ain't no joke, not to mention the mercury for precipitating the gold.

Nice.
Next time you are cummming deep inside her, squeeze her big tits a bit hard and think.

You need something called aqua regia

The tweakers who hang out around the garbage dump have taken all of the remotely good shit already, trust me.
