On a side note..a friend just salvaged about 500 lbs of gold plated
old computer connectors and pins. Are they worth salvage for the
gold? And how is that best accomplished?

He is asking me for people or methods to do it.

If he has 500lbs of actual gold plated material then it is probably worth
it. If he has 500lbs of crap with gold plated contacts on it, tell him to
clip off the contacts and wait till he has a lot more.

An oz of gold goes a long way in plating. Even with heavy plating, there
might be .001oz in a square inch of plate.
