    An eye for AU in Lights

    Stumbled onto another spot to scrap some gold plating. Was recycling some halogen light bulbs when I noticed gold plating on some of the pins/contacts to fluorescent bulbs. Never would of thought it would be used in this application. Its not very much on one light bulb (4 small pins), but when you have access to hundreds of these as I do it will add to my bucket overtime. I love it when people pass on recycling gold bearing material because they think that there is so little its not worth it. I'll just omit a response to that and let them not trouble themselves with the tedious work of pulling pins.
