Lead, copper, possibly tiny amounts of gold. You'd have to recycle them on an industrial scale to get anything worth while though.

I de-soldered everything from an old Socket A motherboard, sandwiched it between two sheets of plexiglass and I use it as my mouse mat.




All that glitters isn't gold.
