In the 80's there was a guy here in the Southern California area doing
fairly large scale gold recovery, and he was using guys who powered the
scrap and highgraded it with cyanide in low quantities, and there was
another guy who had hauled in and reconditioned an ore crusher system
from a mine in the desert to do things up to about 1/2
the size of a
volkswagen.
both were crooks, but he knew how crooked, and also that there was not a
way to do any better on his own.
I'm talking a 3 acre large yard full of electronics at a time on an
ongoing basis, and he was a feeder to the actual recovery guy.
he had a soft spot for Dec and PDP 11's and would not powder them, but
everything else went in the junk.

the cost to extract it.
Which is not much, when done in decent quantities. Most
guys deal in
Gaylord sized increments, not a pile of boards here and there.
