at 29:04 those could be diodes where the slanted edge is a polarity sign. At 29.32 mosfets, there could be gold bonding wires there. At 34.25 Inductors, don't throw away the ferrite iron casings. Crush them into a fine powder and sprinkle onto your instant glue before mating the two joining pieces of anything. The ferrite iron will add holding power to the glue. At 15.50 MLCC, you did not mention that the small totally black ones are MLCI inductors and have silver in them. Good video.

The plain black tantalum looking components could be inductors, which contain small copper coils. It is usually easy to tell when they are on the circuit board, as the silkscreen number for the component will start with "L" for inductors, and "C" for capacitors, or "D" for diodes.

Nice video and you provide clear and comprehensive descriptions. I think what you call "tactical" switches are better known as "tactile" switches, because one must actually touch them to make them operate. Also, just as a general point, when I remove aluminum heatsinks, they often come off with a bit of steel which needs to be removed to get "clean" price. Finally, I also really like the channels you gave shout outs to as well!

I don't expect to become rich from them but I have great time taking a part old electronic and electric devices and sorting the components. Although I don't make recovery of the precious metals, I have done small- scale tests on most of them and I know for sure what they contain. I can tell you that the tantalum capacitors are also a great source of silver, also the fuses have most of the times a silver wire inside the ceramic tube. The transistors, as you called them, also contain gold bond wires especially the ones with more than three legs.

Hi, good video. I am a hobby scrapper and do micro scrapping when Quebec winter is ruling the place and scrap is scarce. Here I share other video infos I found. The fuses would have their inner little wire made from silver. May be when the fuse is too hot, the silver melt and goes on the brass fuse ends ? Although their value is probably higher for copper, some videos have showned that musfet also contain gold. Finally, on the right side of the board you use at the beginning of the video, the metallic boxes are mostly of brass. I can see that while using the file on them. If not yellow and magnetic, they are iron. Some of them are partly brass, partly iron so they stick to the magnet. Rarely, they are of stainless steel or nickel plated copper. They adds up to the piles. By adding small brass pieces to the bigger ones I find (like the tap), I succeeded to have a 5.1 litter bucket that weight 90 pounds.

Mosfets, as you said, are transistors. All transistors contain gold bond wires. Up to you to decide if recovery of them from mosfets are worth your time. The chips, resembling MLCCs and resistors, on the circuit board marked with the letter L are inductors - just copper. The metal and plastic transistors (3 legs) have gold bond wires, and some have gold plated legs. A few boards have silver and gold-plated fuses, or gold-banded crystal oscillators. You didn't mention diodes, which contain silver. Glass and solid fuses both contain silver. Printers and CD/DVD players are a source of gold.

I think pulverising most most these would be the best option

Definitely on a bigger scale than what I do it would be.

Hi scrapping , Somehow managed to delete my comment. For anyone interested some older boards IC chips are interchangeable and are sat on a bed , the beds are believed to contain brass no silver. Another one for you please Scrapping.. pins with gold plating on the tips , worth recovering the entire pin or just the tips ? Worth splitting them tips and pins or keeping together? Thanks

@rememberremember3489 I just recover the tips that are gold plated as it's less work for the acid to consume the mental which is usually brass

@@ScrappingScotland thanks for that. Some of the smaller contact connectors especially from the edges of tvs are so small and brittle it’s been a struggle getting them out , what’s the cons of leaving them in the plastic , when the time comes to process can this plastic be melted by torch ? Any tip ? Thanks for the knowledge and the uploads

@rememberremember3489 I try not to burn plastic on any way as this is not environmentally friendly. Takes time and effort but I'm not a fan of incinerating plastics.

@@rememberremember3489 you need to remove the metal from the plastic. You certainly don't want to put anything into nitric that contains plastic

@@ScrappingScotland I hear what you're saying ! some of those tiny ones are beyond a nightmare, maybe I might to pulverise them in a pestle and mortar
