where to find scrap silver and gold?
other than bullion, coins, jewelry etc., where are other applications of these precious metals most commonly found?
They are used in light concentration in electronics. Your computer has a little Palladium and a little Gold, and a little Silver (sometimes).
The gold is plated onto connector pins, is used in processors, and is usually limited to about $2-$10 of gold per computer. Older computer definitely have more, military electronics even more, and old military electronics are basically gold mines. http://scrappingmetal.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-scrap-apart-computer.html
Palladium is used in RAM and small capacitors (MLCC).
Platinum is supposedly plated onto the outside of hard drive data platters. http://scrappingmetal.blogspot.com/2010/11/hard-drives.html
Good Luck!
