Hi, @articl61. I am too into metals, i have a way that people don't often think about, but if your interested in silver / gold i could be of interest to you.
I don't post about it on here as I think that crypto and gold should be separate but that is just me been me.
I collected electrical waste and I made a lot of money from it, and its not just scrapping and weighing it in.
All cables have copper, all motherboards have gold and all cd's have silver. there are many youtube videos out there that can show you how, but I like my way of doing things.
Back in 2016, I made £7,000 doing it as a hobby over a year, I would collect TV's that people had trashed and laptops from computer repair shops. (they have to pay to get rid of their waste) so they will give it a way for free.
Inside new tv's the boards have gold on them and around the tv screen itself has connectors that are also gold.
Don't get me wrong I have to play with acid to collect gold from it and there isn't loads but it all adds up if you get enough.
I had a smelter to melt down the metals and I would put my alloy and copper into bars and weigh them in.
the gold I saved and took it to a gold merchants that weighed it in I had to leave it with them so they could test it to make sure it was the karrot I was saying it was.
I have moved house now and I can't carry on with this kind of project but if its something that you have space and time for then go for it.
Dude, that is brilliant and very interesting. No wonder they don't allow you to buy anything from the council tip these days.
I'm a mechanic mate so the house often looks like a garage, a few more TV's won't hurt. I will take a look at the YouTube vids you mentioned. That could be a nice passive income.... Thanks for the heads-up :)

If you start to rip tv's apart remember that the screens are poisons like cyanide I believe.

Yes definitely buddy, if we sort it out for in a month or twos time that would be good, I'm thinking when kids are at school and the wife isn't working then it gives me chance to get a way for a day or two. it also depends on you too. :)
