Hello! I just started trying this but I was wondering if I could send you a picture of a board I have to see what is worth scrapping?

Good day James Interesting. Welders, battery chargers are not alot in it, but still better than garbage. U know there was a "ford pkup video" on . Thanks

i think those silver buttons are actually silver and tungsten so yea silver but if you try to melt it youre gonna have a bad time haha, idk how exactly you would go about processing them but i dont think melting them is really a great option because of the tungsten

If they're silver, your best options are likely nitric acid, or perchloric acid, because other acids tend to form highly insoluble salts with silver. That said, both of these acids pose great potential safety risks, even in comparison with other acids, and do not handle them unless you are absolutely sure of what you're doing with regards to safety(explosions are possible outcomes with both, and perchloric acid is a super acid), and the laws in your jurisdiction

​@jeremydoerksen877 I don't a thing about perchloric acid but nitric acid is how I do it. Never had any kind of explosion. If too much nitric is used, it can and will bubble or boil over. After it's dissolved, put a piece of solid copper in the solution and the silver will cement out

Do you have any videos on scrapping jumper cables? Have picked up a couple older looking sets lately. Probably paid a little too much at $8 each. They have good weight and copper. Haven't tried breaking them down yet.

Unless they're super old, they're likely to be copper clad aluminum rather than solid copper wire; so, in terms of scrap value, you definitely overpaid - but, if they're good cables for use, it's a steal

I will look if I have any, but I think the newer ones are not great copper. Will get back to you with a video soon if I have some.
