FYI- LNB is Low Noise Block which is the high-gain electronic guts (at the focus of the parabola) of a satellite dish receiver. They often have gold plated contacts and some germanium based microwave electronics. There are a lot of these around. Does anyone know if they have any scrap value for PM and if they are worth collecting?
Side question: Do you guys here hoard anything anything gold plated? This thing is screaming at me because it's across the street and trash day is tomorrow. I can't stand to see gold go down the road in a trash truck. Even if it's a few micrograms it's still gold.

I just started one this past month and have amassed a small collection of memory fingers and processors . It takes hundreds, if not thousands, of these things to refine but you've got to start somewhere.
