I would recommend shipping them to a buyer as well.Everything that i've seen so far points to the idea that the circuit boards are best processed by the ton in an industrial setting. It's the economy of scale that makes it profitable to extract minute quantities of PM's ?

Just my opinion: I think i would forget about refining by fire or by chemical if you really want to do this.

This youtube video makes much more sense to me.

I was thinking about that. I think there's a water vortex centrifuge of sorts before the shaker table ?

I've got time for study today. They have a series of videos out for promotional purposes. This one is the first of a three part series where their machine is put into practice in the real world. It seems like this would be a pretty good entry point if you wanted to get into refining.

** Important Consideration **

It looks like you want to refine for copper. The PM's are just frosting on the cake ?
