    The guy who does get the gold off them says its not worth it.

    He has a solution of acid in a container and saves up the glasses untill he has a lot.
    Then he gets his filter mask and adds peroxide to the acid and let's it eat the gold off till the acids full.
    Then he puts it away for another day months later.

    The clean glasses he sells again to make his money back. He also strips broken glass.



    Basicly, 3 things.

    1 Its very dangerous
    2 There's no money in it.
    3 Its very very dangerous.

    Time to lock this thread I think.

    Its not scrapmetal anyway.
