Scrapping for SILVER. It’s everywhere and it’s free!

Hello scrappers and planet lovers. This video will show you all the free silver you can find I while scrapping. Silver is in almost every electronic and appliance and given it’s current value, it is a great precious metal to start collecting.

You rock Tin Man i just made $350 last month scrapping my silver contacts. In the winter months by the fire. Quite a meditative hobby

As I remember an old mechanic who worked for TWA. The contractors in the voltage regulators on ac/dc convertors for many of the models of aircraft he worked on were platinum. These regulators, as per mfg regs and faa regs had to be replaced every so many hours. These removed regulators had to be rendered inoperable for safety reasons so they couldn't be used again.
So he would knock the platinum tips out. Simple right?
By the time he retired, he had several coffee cans full of platinum points. Big bucks.

I really enjoyed how you explained and showed all the same time quick and easy. Definitely stepped my Scrap level up thank you.

Be a little careful when you process your relay contacts as quite a lot of them may be silver/cadmium oxide. Although the cadmium is quite stable in the alloy, when you process then, you will end up with cadmium salts, specifically Cadmium nitrate, which is a carcinogen, genotoxin and hepatotoxin.

Also be a little cautious storing multiple button cells in a jumbled heap as they will almost certainly end up shorting out. Few are likely to do much more than get hot, but storing cells like this is perhaps not the very best idea.

You will also need to be cautious when processing button cells, as any silver is likely to be microns thick - and then you will start to contaminate your nitric acid with the base metal underneath.(stainless steel). for the tiny (again, microns thick) amount of silver recovered, you may spend many times this on the wasted nitric acid. If you really want to try it, you may want to only leave the cells in the solution for a minute or two to limit the amount of iron/cobalt/chromium you pull from the stainless steel case.

Dude - I had no idea about these contact boxes and their contents - it was most helpful you ACTUALLY took things apart and showed us exactly WHERE the silver was - thanks kindly for posting this !!

Thanks for letting me know that I am doing things correctly. Keyboards have the silver sheets as well.

I always find circuit breakers and light switches from construction remodels.
Washers, dryers, stoves have good contacts in the dials, switches, timers in the panels, and I’ve even found them down by the motors on some washers and dryers. Relay boxes are everywhere. Free Silver!

As far as my personal experience with the silver contacts, they are %61 silver by weight. Im currently working on refining some now. I did a test run of 31.1 grams and got a 19.1 gram button. Probably %98 purity. The contacts were from automotive relays. Silver content seems to vary greatly depending on the source of the contacts. Ive encountered tiny contacts from switches that look silver but are magnetic. I think it came from a cheap-o leaf blower

Thanks tin man! It may seem like more work then what it’ is worth, but when the dollar crashes you will be sitting on a goldmine! God bless you and keep you and may the good Lord shine his face upon you!

Thanks for sharing. It's good to see where the silver and copper is located.

I use to work for a major oil company way back in 1984-85. I worked at an old gas separation plant that was built in the 1920s. They used exclusively old mercoid switches. When they would go bad, I'd toss them in my lunch box and later crack open the glass containing the mercury.

Wow so now I'm glad I woke up at 4am.. this is good info and I've been collecting circuit boards so I know what I'm gonna do today...

Thanks Superman...

[bestsweek]

What about to the: How to do the processing of the silver? Thank you

[bailey]

Just been getting into scrapping recently as a hobby. Love the way you walk through scrapping, it's really helpful. Keep it up

[nonconstreamist]

Been doing this for a while and it definitely adds up to getting free precious metals in the end. Good pointers on searching for silver

[EternallyThankful-ospz]

I didn't know ANY of those items had silver - thanks much for sharing this - you rock Bro !!

[finddeniro]

Good Silver Show...yes I got the Whole Picture. .and All the Examples...

[alanwarner]

Subbed for one reason.. Dude has a work bench and vice in his living room.
When I was single I rebuilt my engine in my living room. Good times.

[americasfavoritehoarder]

I love those little boxes. Lots of copper and now I'll be saving the silver dots too. Thanks

[domingaservantez]

Wow good to know i have all these stocked piled high in my surrounding homestead...Blessings
