People think that this is going to be some lind of gold mine. I read that National Semiconductor’s gold consumption in the 70’s and 80’s (when NS was NS) was about 12 troy ounces, or about a pound. I have equipment made by HP in the 70’s (still works, of course) where the entire PCB was plated in gold. Those days are LONG gone except maybe for the military.
I’ve watched some of those scrapper channels on you tube. They spend HOURS collecting trash to turn in to “treasure” and just guessing it looks like they don’t even make minimum wage. There’s one treasure you can not recycle or save and that is TIME.
