Scrapping Circuit Boards for Precious Metals " It's Gold "

Scrapping Circuit Boards for Precious Metals " It's Gold "
Hey Scrap Hounds! It's nice to see you all back for another scrap session and if you're new to the channel then I have a real treat for you! Today we are going to be scrapping down this circuit board from a furnace control box for it's precious metals and other scrap metal! It's very important to the environment to properly recycle these items so they don't wind up in our landfills or sent to other countries where it becomes a hazardous waste zone! By learning to scrap these items yourself is a great way to properly recycle them and you can make some extra money doing so! So let's get started on this circuit board for starters! hope you enjoy this tutorial video!

I don’t know much about e waste but I got a computer tower I still gotta take a apart I usually just got the copper from the green boards and throw them away. Great video buddy!

[@BushDogScrapper]

That’s normally all I do is take any copper aluminum and brass but there is lots of neat stuff to learn with ewaste I find! I just can’t sell boards or anything here in Alberta Canada. Thanks for enjoying Bro

[@jordankennedy3298]

@@BushDogScrapper in Ont, the relays have silver in every single one, if you're lucky you can find vintage ones with gold contacts. The capacitors can go into dirty aluminum which is what I do, mossfets have trace amounts of gold ~ 0.003% but it adds up fast you get around 0.33gr per kilo.

[@BushDogScrapper]

@@jordankennedy3298 Here in Alberta we can’t really sell ewaste per say so I remove the stuff I can sell at the scrapyard! I do like to collect the other stuff off the boards as I hope maybe one day there will be a better market here for more of the ewaste ! CheeRs and thank you for enjoying the video!

[@jordankennedy3298]

I love those little switches with the gold plated BBs. Except when they break and fly all over the ground!😅

Yeah I’ve had that happen more then I can count 🤣 there’s gold here there gold there there’s gold everywhere ♻️🤣

[@canadiansilverseeker]

Just missed being your 420 sub ;) Thats really cool I will have to keep my eye out for those switches Happy Stackin eh!

[@jessewilson8676]

There is also silver contacts in the relays. Edit and the heavy copper plate from the relay is almost always copper plated steel.

[@BushDogScrapper]

Yeah those furnace boards are loaded with the small goodies! A small hand file and a neodymium magnet are a scrappers best friend I always say they’ll never let ya down! Thanks for watching

[@steelisthemeal]

Gold gets em all day

[@BushDogScrapper]

I like collecting the gold and silver plated pieces from the ewaste!

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

Here in Australia copper varies for the rates from a $1 say for Christmas lights, up to $4 a kg for the good shit. My local yard gives me $3.20 for everything mixed. I don't have to cut the plugs off, only transformer type. Cheers Graham

[@BushDogScrapper]

It’s neat how all the scrap yards are a lil different it keeps us on our toes lol Thank you for watching!

Yea some have different amounts I haven’t found to many of them but I like to save them gold balls there’s a ewaste group on Facebook that has a golden balls club 🤣👌🏻

Inside the switches 😂

[@BushDogScrapper]

You are correct!

[@michaelstewart5122]

sometimes you can pull the wires out of the white connectors, if the internal connector comes out with the wire, cut it off. Check for brass.

[@BushDogScrapper]

Great advice I do clip them and even the plated copper wires that are all over some boards! Pennies make Dollars! A file and magnet is a scrappers best friend! Have a great day thank you for popping by the junkyard! God Bless

Thank you for watching and enjoying the video it’s a older one I was sick at the time and was just using what tools I had on hand! So far this is my best video!

In the dipp switch. Have done many

Should be silver contacts in the relays great video

They're in the gold ball dip switch...

[@BushDogScrapper]

You are correct lol Thanks for watching!

[@KKRRenewables]

Nice video, thanks for being so thorough with your scrap. I go after all the bits also. And yes, it is a bit tedious trying to film and work at the same time. There are gold bond wires in those three legged transistors also. Go back and look at the tips of the copper strips you pulled out of the relays. Believe I saw some buttons at the end. Those are usually high content silver. What did that board come out of? I have found 4 of those gold balls in my scrapping career and they came from two pole red switches that look similar to yours. I found mine in Jet Direct cards from old printers. I’ve subscribed :). Cheers.

[@BushDogScrapper]

Thank you for subscribing! I believe it came out of a furnace but I could be wrong it was almost a year ago now haha CheeRs

Pro Tip: Watch this video at 1.5x speed minimum. (You literally can't even tell you sped up the video!)

[@BushDogScrapper]

Great tip! Lol

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

So are the solid gold? I’ve got tons of these.

[@BushDogScrapper]

No they are plated brass as far as I know! I did a video on them cause I thought they are cool to collect there’s a ewaste group on face book that has a gold balls club 😂 it was my first time finding them!

[@islandhighmusic]

you need to throw that adjustable plier in the frigging bin or repurpose it , what a pain in the ass , i reuse old pliers and the likes for turning into wire or component cutters . being left handed makes it look so awkward .

[@BushDogScrapper]

Lol that’s funny cause I was using them to take a bed frame apart last night and stopped and thought to myself why haven’t I thrown these into the shred pile lol

[@alfredweaver5390]

Make easier on yourself and clip off the capacitors then use a heat gun to remove the rest. It’ll save mega time.

That does make it easier but I’m all about trying to use as little power as possible to keep profits up! Thank you for watching!

[@mikeahl5123]

A lot of work for very little money maybe 50 cents in value. To me it's a waste of time You could have sold the board as is as a low grade board for 3.00 a pound.

[@BushDogScrapper]

I very well could if I had a Board Sort here in Canada. It’s not about what each item is worth it’s about collecting it up I also save the gold to refine it at a later date! Pennies make Dollars! Thanks for stopping by the Junkyard Mike! CheeRs
