Gold Manufacturing Scrap
Industrial Gold Recovery
Gold jewelry, estate jewelry, scrap gold, broken jewelry, bullion, coins, investment gold, and recoverable gold material from individual sellers, estate collections, and private precious metal holdings.
Jeweler bench sweeps, polishing dust, casting scrap, gold filings, floor sweeps, production scrap, manufacturing byproducts, and precious metal-bearing recovery material generated from jewelry manufacturing operations.
We process gold from plating, aerospace, and refinery streams, including circuit boards, connectors, and telecom hardware. Our advanced recovery methods efficiently extract gold content from industrial tech and infrastructure scrap for maximum value.
Test Precious Metal Content
Xchange Metal tests gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium material using XRF analysis and assay testing.

How Much Is My Gold Worth?
Gold scrap pricing is based on purity, recoverable gold content, assay recovery values, material type, and live precious metal market conditions.Â
Gold Jewelry Evaluations
Gold jewelry is valued according to karat purity, weight, alloy composition, and measurable gold percentage content to determine overall recoverable value.
Industrial Gold Assay Recovery
Industrial gold-bearing material is assayed to determine value of recoverable gold content within plating material, process scrap, electronic recovery material, manufacturing byproducts, and refinery recovery streams.
Transparent Gold Settlement Values
Final settlement values are calculated using live market conditions without hidden assay charges or unclear deductions.
How Do Gold Buyers Test Gold?
 From gold jewelry to industrial gold-bearing materials, electronic scrap, and refinery materials, our team uses the appropriate testing process to provide accurate assessments and current market pricing.
Can You Test My Gold Jewelry?
Yes. Xchange Metal tests gold jewelry using professional XRF analysis to identify gold purity without damaging the item. We commonly evaluate gold rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, estate jewelry, dental gold, and broken gold jewelry. XRF testing helps verify whether jewelry is 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, or 24K gold before a purchase offer is made.
Can You Test Industrial Gold Plating Materials?
Yes. Industrial gold-plated materials often require additional evaluation beyond standard jewelry testing. Depending on plating thickness, substrate metal, and material type, Xchange Metal may use XRF analysis, material review, sampling, or refinery assay procedures to determine recoverable gold content and current market value.
How Do You Test Gold In Electronic Scrap?
Electronic scrap containing gold is evaluated based on component type, recoverable precious metal content, and overall material value. Xchange Metal reviews gold-bearing circuit boards, telecom equipment, processors, connectors, memory components, aerospace electronics, and industrial electronic recovery materials using XRF analysis, material grading, and recovery-based evaluation methods.
How Do You Test Gold Bench Sweeps & Refinery Materials?
Gold bench sweeps, polishing dust, filters, grinding residue, floor sweeps, and other refinery-type materials typically require assay and recovery analysis rather than simple surface testing. Depending on the material, Xchange Metal may perform sampling, laboratory analysis, or refinery processing to determine precious metal content and settlement value.

Do Pawn Shops And Cash For Gold Stores Pay Well For Gold?
Offers can vary significantly between buyers. Many pawn shops and cash-for-gold stores operate on resale or lending models, which can result in lower offers. Xchange Metal purchases gold directly and bases offers on purity, weight, and current market pricing. If you have received competing offers, bring three written quotes and let our team review them.
