Where's the silver in keyboards?
There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer
Its very simple to do. A 5gal bucket an bleach..set it in there an let the bleach burn it off the film. When it starts to take a long time that means the bleach is "used up" then you SLOWLY....VERY SLOWLY filter it into the coffee filter. Use like 3 or 4 filters together to catch the silver. Once you have the silver powder an sell it like that an or refine more an put into a bar/coin. (a simple cutting torch on low setting will melt it very fast an easy but read up on forging as you can "burn" the silver an lose alot of it.
Take a old keyboard apart. You will see there is plastic with a whiteish color metal that will be silver. But there are two films over the silver (a front an back film) best way to recover the silver is by burning it in a closed bin so no ash is lost then you refine the silver ash.
The amount of work needed to get the silver out..take alot of time an on top of that there is not very much silver BUT if you happen to have a pallet or more FULL of keyboards then..its worth the time because then you do all of them at the same time.

I didn't think that part was any good. The last one I had I threw away.
What do you mean was not good?

It looked like it was just plastic. I know it's good now, but I didn't when I had it.
ooo I see. It is mostly plastic that is why I said you need to have a lot of it. But inside the plastic there is a small amount of silver in there an..i mean small.
