Mud Caked Electronics to Gold - Part II

[@deborahclark1136]

I told my sister that the pallets were under water and extremely muddy. Let's just say it blew her mind. Great video.

[@sharkscrapper]

The building they were in was flooded up to the roof during Helene.

Well done shark scrapper as the saying says there money in dirt .great video thanks

[@sharkscrapper]

LOL - not sure this is what they had in mind, but heck, I'll take it 🤣

[@josephcormier5974]

Not too bad Sharkey it was fairly clean. This was a very enjoyable video thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother

[@sharkscrapper]

yes, not too bad all things considered.

[@John-ye9sp]

E waste mike is going down the tubes.

[@sharkscrapper]

He's just going through a rough patch. Happens to all from time to time.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Well they say “ where’s there’s muck there’s money”. Most pressure washers have adjustable lances, love Ewaste Mikes comment.

[@sharkscrapper]

Pressure washer vid coming soon 😉

[@scrappingonthefly77]

Even as dirty as these things are, my curiosity would kill me to see if I could clean this stuff and see if it would still work lol ! Mo money 💰 But I totally get where you're coming from on that part ! Great breakdown Sharky

[@sharkscrapper]

That would be a fun experiment. But not for me 🤣

[@ewastemike7700]

UGH!!Your gonna have to sell all those boards to pay your water bill. Lol

[@sharkscrapper]

I may be a little lucky on that one. The city hasn't charged us for water since the hurricane came through. Not sure when they'll resume billing again. They've been encouraging everyone to use water so the chemicals they add to reduce lead buildup can get circulated through the system. Sure hope I don't get anymore of these but hard to turn down a pallet load servers.

[@Alrik.]

I hope that other yard will buy other stuff like small motors and power supplies!

[@sharkscrapper]

That would be nice. I'm planning to go visit them after the holiday madness settles down.

[@tj8244]

Need a shop vac for when you crack them open suck up all you can that way.. Then boards still coated drop in a rubermade tub full of water with a bit of soap to soak off the rest of the mud. Just an idea

[@sharkscrapper]

Shop vac is standing by at the ready 🤣 I need to see if any of my plastic bins will still hold water, they've had some rough lives. I like the wash basin idea.

[@tj8244]

@@sharkscrapper or a large plastic trash can? 😁

[@GeorgiaDogScrapper]

Great video Shark, I thought that you would be still dealing with the mud from those units. Take care and I will see you on the next video

[@sharkscrapper]

We'll have some boards that need another little cleaning but overall I'm satisfied with the process.

[@GeorgiaDogScrapper]

@sharkscrapper I wish that I was able to, right now it's not in the cards. I would buy your connector end or just buy the wire with the ends and process the ends and then sell the wires to my yard lol. Take care

[@richardhulbert9480]

Though i dont like them ive found the fastest way to get through a power supply is with my hammer a wide gasket scraper and a back support to keep it from moving around. I can strip one in less than 15 min now.the aluminum is sheet or sheet the big transformers go into electric motors the wire is insulated so far i may strip it.

[@richardhulbert9480]

I cut a piece of angle from a bed frame and screwed it to my bench. It helps so much for bracing stuff.

[@richardhulbert9480]

I cut a piece of angle from a bed frame. Screwed it to my work bench. It works so well as a brace to pound against.

[@sharkscrapper]

Some very interesting ideas/suggestions in your response, thank you.

[@earlfowler7873]

With all that mud coming off the Mtns. Into the equipment. you could of panned it for gold. As always ✌️ 👍.

[@sharkscrapper]

🤔well, all that mud is still at the back of the property. Might give that a try one day.

[@kayandreamundsen389]

Use an empty pc shell for all the small bits :)

[@sharkscrapper]

I always stuff the empty shells with smalls before I head to the yard. But I need a bin next to the work bench to make processing faster. An empty PC shell doesn't work for that as the screws and stuff keep falling out. I used to use old mail boxes from a mail box repair person I had as a client. For now a trashcan will have to do.

[@danielwinger7382]

Will Boardsort create a new category for large and small socket Mudderboards?

[@sharkscrapper]

They already have different categories for large and small socket boards.

@@danielwinger7382 LMAO - my bad, I completely missed the "mudderboard" part. I'm an idiot.

[@sharkscrapper]

thank you 🤣

[@melbajohnson8645]

If I have missed the answer to my question in other videos I’m sorry. Will you be doing any street / trash picking?

[@sharkscrapper]

No street scrapping here. Several reasons I'll not be doing that here. The three main reasons are; they don't have regular bulk pick up days, the roads are very narrow, and I intend to focus on electronic scrap.

[@jwall6006]

Why are you doing this inside the shark cage. Maybe drag them to the back door, strip the parts and as much mud as possible outside. Then come back and sort the parts. As a grandma of 2 little boys, the words, “take it outside, make a mess out there.” Has been said a lot.

[@sharkscrapper]

LOL - because I'm too lazy to carry them back and forth. I'll just sweep up when I'm done 🤣

[@jr-a-cat]

Is'nt nice to work without the sweat running down into your eyes .

[@sharkscrapper]

😂 must admit, I'm enjoying the coolness up here.

Thanks! It's always a bit of a miracle, making money out of mud 😜
