@Begbucks hehe, me too, i still remember when i troubleshooted and replaced a 5 100~W RF pre-amp (solid state device not TUBE) from a local TV station. I ignored the shiny yellow metal large heat sink. i even throw it on the garbage since those were defective. The price for each pre-amp cost around $1,600 (1991). I didn't know back then that GOLD were actually embedded on those costly things. ^__^

@vkorinfsky thats why aim for the OLD 1960's rotary phones the ones used at work places, most of them had about half to a full ounce of gold in them. Keep in mind in the 60's gold was $1.89-$4 per ounce so it was easy to find it most everywhere

extracting gold or silver on CPU's is just a waste of time. try extracting a 1950's to 1960's RF power transistors. Thanks me then.

@Begbucks Actually some makers adopted the gold plating to their RF power transistors, ordinary transistors & its heat sinks since the 1950's. Many of them are GERMANIUM Transistors. I'm not really an enthusiast of the olden era but that is where the LUCK is. And If your lucky, try searching a very high RF output (TV/Radio station) and i will guarantee you that what you see first is the shiny GOLD-plated heat sinks. ^____^
