Scrapping Cell Phones for Gold Recovery

[@hoosierdaddy3338]

I just want to say thank you for what you are doing. I am a scrapper/life hacker from Indiana and you have actually helped me correct several mistakes in my method. Thank you and keep scrapping.

[@moosescrapper5928]

Ed Holloway Glad to be able to help! Thanks for watching!

[@pacoblancosmith]

Rest assured, I still watch for videos, old and new, repeatedly. I learned more from you than the others. And you are right about how time consuming they are. I will let you know what I end up with when I process the 250 phones I have now and maybe we'll both be pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work and look forward to your next vids!

[@moosescrapper5928]

I would love to see the data! Thanks! Willl you be processing just the boards or the other bits as well? Thanks again! I look forward to hearing how you do!

[@joselbazcom4221]

Almost 60K subscribers. Congratulations. Your videos are worth watching even though I do not collect items for recycle. But once in a while I disassemble an electronic device which has no hope for repair and have fun going through all its intricacy.

[@moosescrapper5928]

Thank you so much!

[@dwightgordon9354]

I've torn apart a few cell phones now. The stuff on the back of the white sheet that comes into contact with the gold plate (4:31) looks like silver. Is it? Some of the same stuff showed up in my wife's old non-working glucometer as well. Quite a bit of gold in those, by the way.

[@moosescrapper5928]

Dwight Gordon I have tested some of those and have found them to not be silver.

[@SMOBY44]

It actually takes about 1500 sim cards to make 1 GRAM, not one ounce.

[@creepyscrapping4648]

Thanx Moose, I didn't know i could sell batteries as scrap, always learning something new, great video

[@yankel97]

Found a bunch of phones the other day. I'm going to see what I can get for them whole here in Melbourne. Cheers mate.

[@moosescrapper5928]

Surprisingly, you will likey do better with them as a whole! Thanks mate!

[@pacoblancosmith]

Well, as you have pointed out....I have been saving the monolithic and, now, tantalum capacitors. I don't go crazy when a single connector pin drops but I do look for it....every piece of gold counts. Moose, what are the gold colored pieces from cellphones that are not magnetic and don't react to the A/P solution? Also, still haven't been able to get my processed mixture back to clear using stainless steel like you said. It sure does draw the copper though! But I'd really be happy to see a video from you on this....I know it sounds minimal but, if we are going to walk the walk, we need to know how to else the mixture. Thanks!!

[@rachelrodriguez7033]

Hay moose can you tell me what karot of gold is it that can be taking from simcards? Also would be good to see you do the simcard test thanks

[@fetusenchilada]

I got a box of circits I got a blueray player circuit with 50 voltage sources about 4 remote circuits 3 old phones with lithium ion battery's I got three is ni-mh 17670-3000 mAh 7.2 battery's and some other random circuits any idea what I could do with them

[@moosescrapper5928]

Hi and thanks for watching! I am currently not processing material for other people. I think your best bet would be to find a scrap yard that buys circuit boards and I am not quite sure what you are referring to as voltage sources but most scrap yards are willing to let you know what you have and what its worth. The NiMh batteries are not really worth anything, they just need to be recycled. The lithium ion batteris can be sold by weight to many online companies. Thanks!

[@pooler347]

Hey I'm from maine an i enjoy taking things apart but i could care less about scrapping it what do i do with the stuff

[@strakill]

Sell it otherwise find a local scrapper to take it off your hands.

[@kyleporterfield2772]

how do you strip the boards

[@buttmonkeyrider4always636]

what about the gold in the speaker and from under the antena?

[@coinkiller5495]

Hi moose if you put boards complete in hydrochloric acid Barth heat it and it eats all solder of and components just fall off and them HP bath no solder problem

[@su3ke0]

hy. can you twell me when i finish recovery gold from platets boards.how then refining gold from that and wath cemicals must use for and wath proses is the easyest way to do it tnx

[@TheDuncan97herr]

Is that silver on the white stickers where the key pad was?? i have about 100 of the little "silver" buttons off the stickers cause i don't want to accidentally throw away silver

[@moosescrapper5928]

Honestly I am not sure, I have heard that they were silver but have not chemically tested them yet. I take one out tonight and have a look see. Thanks!

[@paulharrison4613]

Good video moose. The white plastic film that you pull off has them small metal disc,s. Where the buttons are. They have silver plate on them. Not much but I save them all up. Keep up the good work .

[@moosescrapper5928]

Just about everything has value in bulk!!! Keep scrapping!

[@kenmorris7826]

I have 7000 kg of shredded mobile cell phones to 4 mm. Where do I begin salvaging precious metals?

[@alexmanbeck8299]

Hey Moose, I'm just starting out scrapping phones and what not and I was wondering what kind of screw driver set you have there?

[@moosescrapper5928]

Alex Manbeck I have a couple. I have a tamper proof bit set that I got on ebay for $5 and a set from ACE hardware that's a 33 piece set that has torx bits. For the smaller sizes, you want to make sure you do NOT go cheap on them because the cheaper smaller sizes will break really quickly. Thanks!

[@polanashaat5186]

Hi..how many gram of gold can I get from 1 kilo of old Nokia cell board?

[@TerranceSTL]

how do you get the sliver out of computers

[@Aventurascoins]

Hello , I have 6 memory rams & 2 CPUs , do you know anywhere I can sell them or sell any metal parts?

[@kannonrussell2566]

what acid takes the gold off of gold connected pins

[@lorikdermaku2935]

Hey moose can you tell me how to scrap a nokia model 6300 and a model C3-00

[@rob4535]

So how much gold is there roughly in a phone? whenever I look it up I find so many varying figures, from people I suspect don't know what they are talking about.

[@thomasrjansen8626]

How many carat tend gold that is selfons being?

[@elitespecforce]

can u tell me something about the keypad cover,there is some metal there that seems to be silver at first sight but it react to magnet so what is it?can you tell me?

[@moosescrapper5928]

If it reacts to a magne then it can only be one of three metals. Iron, nickel or cobalt. SInce there no real cost efeective reason for using the last two, I would have to say its a ferrous metal. Thanks!

[@elitespecforce]

Moose Scrapper ok thanks,great vids btw

[@EvilSearchEngine]

Hey Moose! Discovered you about 6 weeks ago and finally got up to date on your vids. Absolutely love 'em. My question regarding pins: The male pins are obvious, but how do you extract the hidden female pins from connectors in a timely manner? Possible vid?

[@moosescrapper5928]

Thanks for watching! The timely manner part is what is difficult with the female ends. Honestly, I box them up and sell them by the pound. Once you get your name out there and people start to really reach out to you with scrap its hard to keep up and there is less time for the smaller time consuming things. I think original feets has a video or two on some easy ways to remove those things with a simple petal pick. Thanks!

[@EvilSearchEngine]

Awesome. Keep it up!

[@bullitt7544]

Hey MOOSE ! Glad to have a moment to watch another of your Excellent, "WAY, EH!" i have learned so much from your instructional, I have not been "Seriously", injured, harmed, or misled. You are a Straight Shooting Son of A Mom. :) That said, Thank You so much for taking your time to make these presentations. They truly are splendid, and informative, in such a laid back setting. It's like we was "kicking it OLD SCHOOL." I make money every time I go to the Salvage Yards. At least once a week in the good weather. Fortunately for me I do have an unlimited supply to most if not all, of the products you and others have shown do in fact contain Gold. I am sure I am about to learn something from this video. At present I have about 30 + Cell phones. I was going to try and trade them to a wheeler, for a tablet or something in the 50-100$ range. Do you think that 30 phones properly dissected could yield that sort of cash in Gold? 3-4 Are indeed BlackBerry products and like Motorola they know where and how much Gold is required to make speed and less interruptions in all of their connections. I have taken 1 Blackberry apart and could not believe how much and heavy their plating is. On a side note, I have obtained a PDF doc on-line published by what seems like the most reliable source of information on amounts used in all electronics. It states that it only takes 80 Full Sized Sim cards to equal 1 oz. of Gold. Having more than 40 in my small stack makes me wonder, especially seeing below comments that it takes 10,000 of these??? Been parting these items for years now and my pile ready for processing is getting just about right. If I had not been ripped off by CJ Environmental Recyclers I would have double what I have now. They gave me $40 US for ALL THE Material I sent. Which did include 30-40 CPU's and much more? I know there are thieves out there but watch out for those clowns, people. Cheers ! By the way my Local Pub, now no longer pouring ales, was and still is known as 'THE MOOSE CROSSING" obviously due to the number of moose we have up here in US Jr. :) Well let it roll, and I will pay attention. GOOD ON YOU MOOSE.

[@pinoypicksandparleys515]

Elo moose.great vibe.whats best to use for removing the goldplating in the boards? Muriatic/bleach or muriatic/hydrogen peroxide? Sorry m new w/scrapping.whatS is "a hot sand bath"for removing the things in boards.nid help n clarification..

[@moosescrapper5928]

Hi and thanks for watching. The hot sand bath is basically a tray of sand that you get to over 500-600 degrees F and set the boards in the sand to quickly loosen and then scrape off all the parts stuck to the board. Once that is done, I think the AP method is best for removing the gold foils. Thanks!

[@pinoypicksandparleys515]

thanks for the tip moose.happy scrapping

[@Shroomer47]

Moose Scrapper do you use the AP method for removing plating from the sim cards as well? Someone on gold refine was saying something about a chip and some glue being a problem, but they weren't using AP solution to remove the plating...

[@keithbills6589]

I really enjoyed this video im new to scraping im trying to do it all stripping copper an learning about the cell phones an computers etc. i just figured if i went hardcore at it i could make a little money i lost my job of 7yrs an my wife left me an divorced me so this is stuff is perfect for getting things off of my mine i seen u said in ur video u would give out a wire striper if u got 10000 subscribers well ur way over that while i was watching the video an pausing to take notes an seen that i was hoping to b close to that number id love to have one of those wire strippers so much it looks like it would make my work easier but thats ok i loved the video an cant wait to watch more thanks moose

[@moosescrapper5928]

Thanks for watching, sorry to hear about your hard times. This is a great way to keep your mind occupied and make a little extra cash while doing it. As for the wire stripper, that contest has been closed. I try to have at least one or two give aways a year. Thanks for watching!

[@danieldecoster8677]

When you AP SIM cards, can you leave them intact while soaking in AP? Meaning, do I have to peel the foil section off the plastic card first?

[@moosescrapper5928]

Intact is just fine. May need to soak just a little longer but still likely a lot less time spent than peeling each one off. Sorry to hear about your job, but there is nothing with gold recovery that can or should be done quickly. Gold recovery is great and can make yo umoney, but you may find hat you can make more money with other scrap metals like copper, brass, aluminum and steel. Best of luck to you!

[@MTmoneytree]

Hi moose love the videos. On your previous ones concerning removing the gold foils from ram cards you mention that the copper can be removed from the acid solution so it can be re used. Could you give a vid on how to do that as I love the idea of re using it and also more metal to store too lol

[@moosescrapper5928]

Sure thing! I have a gallon bucket of pins that have been sitting for a while....

[@MTmoneytree]

quality moose cheers!!

[@bullitt7544]

AND now I know. Once again Moose, great to see you doing what you do. Thank You for sharing and posting for others to learn. You are an Excellent Teacher by the way. My Heart did not sink when you gave your estimate on the number of SIM's required, even though I had entirely misread the PDF from eScrap Refining, that does confer with what you are talking about. Approx. 1,000 SIMS = 1 OZ. Gold. Sorry for being a long winded bug, Moose, but in general when the Oz. is used in Recycling/Refining of the precious metals, is it always in the Troy Weight, being not 28 Grams/Oz as the Metric/Standard Measure, but a 30 Gram Oz. I am asking because is the World Trading Standard not Troy, always, in precious metals. Even better is this a rule for other metals as well? or is the ACTUAL WEIGHT just required to specify whether it is a Troy Oz or not? I will do some research today on why this system does not come to bare, say in the Grocery Industry?

[@moosescrapper5928]

+M P.L great questions, I still have not confirmed the # of sims per oz. As for measurement, I tend to stick to grams. Less confusion that way and all of the batches I have run have been less than either ounce anyway so grams works just fine for me. Best of luck to you!

[@marytheodosis]

I really enjoy your videos. I was in Boston last week and was telling a friend about you. She said you were on tv over there. Is that so? Really looking forward to your air bubbler video. Hurry.

[@moosescrapper5928]

Huh? I had no idea I was on TV? lol Thanks for watching!

[@cricketman7335]

Hey Moose... It's me again! I'm having trouble researching but do you by chance know if those "silver" metal circle, on the white sticky film, that were covering the gold plated circles where the keys press down on are silver or not? Just thought I'd ask before tossing them since I just scrapped about 50 cell phones. Thanks!

[@moosescrapper5928]

So far I have not found them to be silver. They may be plated silver, but if that's the case then they are really not worth the effort.

[@cricketman7335]

I figured as much but wasn't sure given that I've never seen one rusted and knowing how keyboards use silver in their workings. Thanks for getting back to me and I hope all has settled out well there in the new house :)

[@ShahPhool-mytelebrand]

humm Good work Respected Moose , i have watched your videos these are all have well information . Now tell me that in latest mobile phones witch are in market have gold or not ? in this video all mobiles are antique and not easily available in market

[@moosescrapper5928]

All cell phones have gold in them this is true. The newer phones have less gold though because the newer technology allows for thinner plating. Thanks for watching!

[@lubiatty1]

hey moose. I have to ask you several questions. I know CPU has gold in cell phones and circuite boards as well. you said that there is arround 4 USD on each cell phone. But can you also show us what is and where is brass there, silver, palladium or platinum? it is hard to recognise them sometimes. And how many circuit boards do i need to make an 1 ounce (troy) of gold? I am trying as a hobby to scrap phones for myself. Can you help me please to identify all theese metals and where they are? thanks

[@moosescrapper5928]

lubiatty1 Hi and thanks for watching! To get one troy ounce of gold you will probably need at least 50 lbs of cell phone boards. There will also be a few different gold recovery processes involved. The first of course is cleaning the board off, getting all the components off and solder. There is almost never any clean brass in cell phones. At least none that is not gold plated. Recognizing the sources of gold becomes easy after practice. The four major sources of gold in cell phones is 1-the plated board, 2-ic's, 3-crystal oscillators, and 4-gold plated pins and metal connectors. Silver and palladium are found in the monolithic ceramic capacitors, and no where else in the phone to my knowledge. There are also Tantalum capacitors. I will try to do a more clear video on the components.

[@lubiatty1]

Thanks for your message. I have trouble to recognize in very old cell phones, kind a like a retro cell phones, i took it a part and i pulled out antenas (aerial), which i belived was gold and other parts connected to it which look really big and they are heavy as well. it is slightly magnetic and under 10 kt acid test on stone shows possitive for gold i believ. not on 14 kt, then the result is negative. This is why i asked about the brass in cell phones. i tested my neckless 10 kt and shows me exactly the same result on acid tests. i am really confused about that couse they slightly magnetic. I follow your channel, couse i have the same hobby as you and want to save some more gold, silver and palladium etc. for times when i have a big bulk of them and refine it into a bars. I read on some articles, that in 1 ton of cell phone is 3,5 kg silver, 300-350g gold and other metal like palladium or platinum. thats why i was asking where is the silver there in that ammount. thanks a lot for your comments and knowlage.

[@moosescrapper5928]

lubiatty1 Hi there, the acid tests will not work for plated items because the gold is so thin that the acids quickly get through to the base metal which is often brass with a thin layer of nickel on it. THis gives you a false reading. Something could be 24k gold plated and the acid test will show less than 10k. As for the silver in cell phones, the only place that I am aware of there being silver is in the solder and on the monolithic ceramic capacitors which have both silver and palladium. Hope this helps a little. And yes, you do need that much material to get the gold however, in most cases the working phones can be sold on ebay for way more than 10 times their precious metal value.

[@lubiatty1]

You really helped me now. I thought i am crazy or something and that is not gold. So what shoud i do with thoose parts? i have got like 7 parts about 10g toghether, they are big,solid and heavy... so how do i get the gold out of thoose? would take ages in hcl and bleech as you shown in previous videos i believe.

[@moosescrapper5928]

lubiatty1 The best way to recover the gold from large solid plated items like that is to use reverse electroplating. I have not tried that method yet but have learned that it is the most efficient method for that type of material. I am saving up those things until I have a few pounds before I try it.

[@buttmonkeyrider4always636]

you didnt mention the tantium capacitors either. they are pretty valuable too

[@earl4dundas]

Hi Moose, What is the going rate for the batteries?

[@moosescrapper5928]

for laptop and cell batteries you can get about $1 per lb.

[@kaysay716]

Hi Moose, thanks for the informative video. In the comments you mentioned cell and laptop batteries can bring about $1.00 per pound, did you mean just the Lithium Ion batteries?

[@moosescrapper5928]

Yes the Li Ion ones, all the others are a hassle to get rid of properly. Thanks!

[@harounmostafa5445]

Hi moose.. are you sure about the 1000 cards equal one ounce of gold..?? thanks for answering

[@moosescrapper5928]

+moustafa sawi no, there have been many many conflicting reports as to how many sims make an ounce. I have heard that it takes as much as 10,000. Personally I do not get enough of them to be able to do a test batch to get some good data.

[@whyamifatandgay2520]

hey when you mean gold plated do you mean like its just small or there's just gold on the outside of it

[@moosescrapper5928]

plated means there is just a thin layer of gold on the outside

[@Kitsnatcher]

What tipe of phone is that has the smart card

[@moosescrapper5928]

HI there, thanks for watching! Most phones have a sim chip (smart card looking thing). The older brick type phones and phones of the 90's do not always have them but just about all newer ones do. they are often hard to see. Thanks!

[@Kitsnatcher]

thanks for the help i ben looking in old bed motors and geting copper and looking in computers for copper but im still looking but no gold yet but im looking from dylan schuetz to moose

[@beachsidebum]

hi! not sure if someone asked before, but what would happen if you put a circuit board that had components still on it into the hydrogen peroxide acid bath?

[@moosescrapper5928]

you would end up with more work to recover the precious metals

[@TheBnawawaken]

so if i was able to buy like 1000 sim cards for like $45 would that be a good buy to refine and sell later? and which refining method would you use on them? Love the vids, thanks

[@TheBnawawaken]

actually im reading that a thousand of the sim cards actually only yeld like 2 grams of gold. so not really worth it

[@creepyscrapping4648]

Bnaw Awaken I do get a lot of sims but they are only worth if you get em for free and i also tried to extract the gold which is not that hard, i have a video on it

[@platinumskies7968]

Moose can you do a ceramic CPU refining video plz

[@mauriceleger1087]

Hi , love you're videos, but did you know that on washing machines and dish washers the water control valves contain copper if you smash one open with a hammer it is full of copper. thanks and keep up the good work.

[@moosescrapper5928]

I do now! And so des everyone who reads this comment! This is why I love it when people pst comments! THanks!

How to remove gold from this plate

[@BillKville]

Moose, good point about the cell phone batteries. I own Piedmont eCycling, LLC. We buy batteries by the pound.

[@moosescrapper5928]

Nice! Do you buy them via mail? In other words, could scrappers mail them to you and you send them a check?

[@BillKville]

Yes. However, we do not pay shipping. We currently pay $.30 a pound

[@BillKville]

Moose, contact me via e-mail. Link is at www.piedmontecycling.com

[@scottalan8275]

Hey moose I'm also a youtuber too and I was wondering if you can do a video on LCD screens the type of screens you find a flat screens cell phones and things like that I found websites that buy em but I found out a couple weeks ago that they are silver and then screens on the edges if you look closely and I was wondering if you know anything about that cuz it might be wrong I've tried googling it and I can't find nothing about it but I know you're a big time youtuber and I know you can be able to find out this answer for me thank you and have a nice day and a happy new years

[@bullitt7544]

Oh man down further it says it takes 45,000 SIM cards? What is with that?

[@TheMrNorx]

Watching your video's with a lot off fun! Here in the Netherlands! Maybe i'm sending you a picture of my handmade copperwire stripping machine, Greeting from the Netherland , Mark Blok

[@moosescrapper5928]

lol, its ferrous, not much more a scrapper needs to know I guess.... Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@johnsheppard1476]

Moose Scrapper well,magnetic doesn't mean that it hasn't got some additional more interesting stuff added! By the way I currently figured out the very sophisticated method of extracting gold and actually any other element in their pure forms in two fastest and most efficient steps possible!And what I mean is that I just load the entire bowl with cell phones or whatever and add sodium hydroxide pellets exactly up to cover them all and then I simply melt the sodium hydroxide on my hot plate and in several minutes after the sodium hydroxide starts melting and reacting with everything-I just have my precious metals undissolved on the bottom and all the rest is after that soluble by simple water-so I end up with actually a possibility of complete and precise elemental analysis of for example phone-and what I noticed is that I almost every time end up with higher yields then I see here on KZbin!So just try it yourself!

[@lee-eb2cn]

what kt is most of the gold? Is it only one say 14k or is it 24? Never heard anyone say. Love your youtube videos.

[@moosescrapper5928]

good question. 24K gold is all gold. Well, 99% or more. It drops down after that. Gold can be mixed with different metals like silver (most often), but also platinum and copper. 22K is 91.6% gold, 18K is 75% gold, 14k is 58.5, 10k 41.7% gold.

[@johnquincy6147]

Where's a good place online to sell your phones?

[@moosescrapper5928]

I get the best prices for them on ebay. It is just a little more work but I feel it is very much worth it.

[@anthonyww713]

Im just going to assume that smart phones or touch screens lack the gold since they were not featured. But awesome video btw

[@moosescrapper5928]

smart phones and touch screen phone are worth much more money sold as is even if broken. WAY more than scrap price. I did not show a smart phone here because I sell them rather than scrap them to make the most money possible.

[@jOoVicC]

how much gold from 100 Phones ? Moose Scrapper

[@karsnoordhuis4351]

Sorry moose i didn't understand you well hot what bath?

[@moosescrapper5928]

sand, there is a link in the video description to a guy named GEO who shows you a wicked fast way to clean off small boards.

[@DANStickerman]

Who buys the gold, silver or palladium in your area, Moose?

[@moosescrapper5928]

Maine Gold and SIlver mostly. Ebay is a good place to sell as well.

[@DANStickerman]

Great thx again, Moose. Have a great weekend Sir.

[@eurobimmer635]

Moose, Are you sure about the 1000 quantity. I have 600 plus sims pop'ed off the cards, I heard it took 33,000 to get an ounce of gold

[@moosescrapper5928]

I have not tested it myself, only from what I read. The age I suppose could also be a factor, the older ones likely had a little more gold on them. 33k sounds like an awful lot to make 1 oz..... well, if you are at 600, you could process 500 and should come out with .5 oz, if not, then my numbers are wrong! Best of luck to you!

[@eurobimmer635]

Hey Moose, Yeah I thought 33,000 was a little out there but who knows. I'm going to wait until I have an even 1000 and process them and see what I get. I'm at 750 as of this morning. You'll be the first to know the outcome. Keep up the great work Bro

[@aligaddafimaiduguribornoal4311]

I haf those old cell phone over 500 but I don't know they is gold they ..thanks so much brother I love this video man am from Nigeria Lagos..

[@lisayates1232]

Hey Moose, LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!! I have a question about the "black 24kt flatwire in cell phones ,high end tv,etc. there is a post on boardsort that says they will not buy this wire. why? One of the post says it's the holly grail of wire, but then puts up what I took as a disclaimer. any ideas?? BTW keep up the good videos I've learned a lot from you!!

[@moosescrapper5928]

Well, that wire is extremely thin. Just the ends are gold plated, with a very thin layer (microns). So for weight, there is far more plastic insulation than there is metal. THis is why its not bought, or paid very little for as wire. In order to recover the gold, you have to clip off the ends. That can take a long time if you have a big bag of them. Plus, it also takes a long time to build up a good weight of the trimmed edges. They are fine for the home recovery and refininer, just throw them in with your trimmed fingers.

[@lisayates1232]

thank you for your quick response, you are truly my "go too guy" thanks for all the information keep the videos coming

[@toddallen7862]

I hate slider phones too! I recently processed an order of 93 slider phones (all the same!). The only thing that made it worth it was the good yield from the full keyboards.

[@anthonydirenzo1097]

Excellent, as usual!

[@mrspock3889]

so 1000 sim cards = 10oz?

[@moosescrapper5928]

not even close. I have not been able to test this yet. Some people say that 1000 cards=1 oz gold, some say its closer to 10,000. Jury is still out on that one.

[@FixAllFixer62]

os what your saying is best bye is just scarpping all they bring in

[@lisabridgeman3554]

Hey moose scrapper,how can a person go about gettin old cellphones?

[@moosescrapper5928]

lisa bridgeman I get them by placing ads on craigslist and putting up signs in grocery stores. I offer free confidential recycling and destruction of personal info in electronics. I get a pretty good response.

[@johnaj3643]

this whole time I thought that those were copper or something els

[@karlinluxen]

I've read that 1,000 sim cards yield 1 gram of gold. Each sim card, according for what I've read, has 0.001 grams of gold.

[@robertallen485]

Nathan Luxen and miracles of miracles that adds up

[@pabad069davis8]

hello moose. i like your videos and look forward to seeing more.

[@bartoszdudek3830]

So, from 1000 sim cards can be recovered 1 ounce od gold? Well i heard?

[@moosescrapper5928]

Yeah, there has been a lot of buzz about that. Some people say it takes 10,000. I dont know, I am working towards 1000 to see for myself.

[@bartoszdudek3830]

Ok, thanks thanks for the answer.

[@jamescolley6486]

Moose Scrapper I've also found those smart chips in sat/cable receivers.

[@RichZukowski]

[@parjacpar3077]

[@parjacpar3077]

[@johnymohapi2468]

[@2trkpony471]

Fuck the screw driver, get a hammer of the right size, if in doubt - BIGGER hammer! LOL

[@dieselrebel_0494]

Have U ever gotten hurt? Because I am a 10 year old with gold fever so I been on KZbin. I was excited so much I took my Moms old cellphone to try it. And while I was taking out a aluminum frame I pulled so hard it suddenly budged and it made a gash and it went clear to my bone so anyway be careful. Peace.

[@moncorp1]

Basically, the goal is to find cell phones for as close to free as you can get, then sell them for a buck a piece. Then you take that money and buy gold bullion. Save yourself the headache. Processing them is NOT worth it.

[@MrTalkcash100]

its 32thousand smart cards for 1 oz and 1000 for 1 gram of gold lol

[@moosescrapper5928]

yikes..... Not surprising I guess though, and I am sure that age makes a difference. smart cards from the first Direct TV recievers probably had a littl thicker gold, so maybe on 29000 for an ounce...lol. Thanks!

[@fetusenchilada]

You would open a po box I would send stuff

[@cryssantos1365]

GOSTARIA K OS VIDEOS FOSSEM NO IDIOMA PORTUGUES,POIS SO FALO ESTA LINGUA

[@csachevauxsansabri2612]

Hi there ja thats apsolutley corect. Gold is a hobby. Copper on the other hand is rewarding, if you can get it that is. I think most rewarding is scrapp it self. Pick it up deliver it cash in hand, no fuss no slaving over stripping prikle copper. Rufe tin is also verry rewarding cause u always get heavy lead and the tin is in comparison it alloy a verry heavy and well payed sorse of cash. Thats my opinion anyway Regards. Oh by the way i watch all your vids. Cu

[@moosescrapper5928]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Travos69]

Pick me! : ). Hey, its better odds than the lottery. Thanks Moose.

[@jburnettconsulting]

Your voice reminds me of superpaulgames on KZbin for dating sims

[@pacoblancosmith]

As much as I enjoy watching your vids, and have been a subscriber for some time, this one was a bit lacking in fact. Plenty of opinion but not enough research and fact. I could show you some cell phone boards with a lot of gold plating on them. I do realize that once you have KZbin sending you a check every month based on your videos, it must be hard to stay true to your original drive and vision.

[@moosescrapper5928]

I am sorry you feel that way. I will reassess my videos more carefully before releasing them. I will however stand behind the statements about the amount of gold on cell phone boards. There simply is not a whole lot coupled with the time it takes to deconstruct the phone, depopulate the board then process, as well as the availability of phones in volume, it is my opinion, as well as many others in the refining biz and on the goldrefiningforum that your better money will be in gold fingers off RAM chips, PCI cards, slot processors, etc. While the boards may display a lot of gold surface area, that gold plating is extrememly thin. I do sincerely thank you for the honest and constructive criticism though. That is infinitely more valuable than just calling me a sell out or something. Thanks again for taking the time to comment!

[@carloscenez3161]

Very good very good''gostaria de ver mais''

[@mike2001583]
