Do you have, lying around the house or stashed in a drawer, an old tablet, laptop, TV, or cell phone? Before you toss them in the trash, there's something you should know. There may be gold in electronic devices you find around the house! Granted, it may not amount to anything on the lines of the old gold rush out West. But do you really want to throw away even the tiniest bit of something so precious and valuable? Ask yourself this: How badly could it hurt to have the item looked at by a gold refinery service? Answer: It won't hurt badly at all. You may even be incredibly glad you did!

Here's a little something that you may want to think about as well. Bigger electronic items may contain a much larger amount of gold than smaller devices like cell phones, remotes, etc. Compared to today's miniaturized devices, 20 or 30 years ago, some pretty sizable electronic items used possibly 20 times more gold! That does, of course, depend on the contained printed circuit boards, the size, and the number.

Take a look at some of these jumbo devices and see if you, in fact, may be sitting on a "Goldmine".

Equipment for Manufacturing And Home Entertainment

When legal and safe, check out old factories. Frequently they may be selling off their equipment or be abandoned altogether. Old thermocouples and other production line equipment can contain gold in significant quantities.

Do you have an old VCR? It may contain gold within the printed circuit board. Additionally, any box electronic devices like game consoles, stereo components, etc. can contain gold. Check out thrift stores, yard sales, and more. Before you invest, check for printed circuit boards.

Equipment for Telecommunications

Recently, an old Verizon building was searched by scrap dealers and a room full of miscellaneous equipment made for switching was discovered and traded in for gold scrap! Always be on the lookout for deserted or "For-Sale" buildings. Of course, stay within the law and be safe if you search them.

Old Components and Supercomputers

On eBay and through other searches, you may be able to find old CRAY supercomputers and more. Equally, you may be able to find an array of switches, pizza-sized hard disks, and other supercomputer components. There may be gold in their printed circuit boards.

Old Mainframe Computers

It wasn't uncommon, years ago, for an entire room to be occupied by IBM mainframe computers. In many cases, for pennies on the dollar, some of those old mainframes are still around and can be purchased. In old factories and businesses that went out of business, in fact, some are still installed. In airports, universities, and more, many are still sitting unused.

You might be surprised how many of these old dinosaurs you can find! In fact, even on eBay, you may be able to find what you're looking for through an "IBM Mainframe" search.
