They seam like they have a pretty good coating on them as they are really rich with color and taking a knife to them it actually takes a pretty good scrape to get under the surface. I kinda figured a pound would be about a gram of gold, but that is mearly a guess. Haven't sent any in to be refined yet. Thank u

a good rule of thumb on home PCs is .75g per pound. they can do better or worse but that's about average. most of it is junk.

it would take about 1500 USB plugs to geta pound of them and you might do better than 1g a pound.
