if it was manufactured before 2003, chances are good you will find a higher gold content. The smelting process, however is very messy, involves saturating in an acid, and then distilling the gold off of a screen at the bottom of the container you use. There is poisonous gas as an end result, and it's a lot of work (I have tried, and wound up with .25 oz out of a bucket of connector pins). It cost me close to $400 for the materials, and I will probably never do this again...lol. You could always melt everything at between 1800 and 2300 degrees, but somehow I cannot imagine this would have a productive outcome.
