Sun, HP "scrap" (???)

Hi I just can't think how there would be 1-2 oz of gold in 100 lbs of scrap. Gold used in electronics is plated on. 15 to 30 mil is what I recall on most anything. By My calculations, that would be an optimistic surface area of 55 by 55 inchs of gold surface for 1 oz. For some old HP circuit boards, maybe. For just regular boards? There is a lot of gold in PC boards but in a 100 lbs of boards I don't think you'd find much more than about 1 foot by 1 foot of gold surface. That is a lot of gold but not an ounce. Calc: 19.3 g/cc for gold 1lbs = 454 g 1 oz = 28.375 g 1 oz au = 1.47 cc 1 cu in = 16.39 cc 1oz au = .0897 cu in at 30 mil 1 oz au = 3000 sq in = 55 x 55 surface. Most IC's are on a surface of about .0625 sq in. That would be about 50K IC's.
