I have unearthed 1/4 oz of dental gold from some early crown work that has since been replaced. What is the value of this stuff and what is its composition?

Thanks

    "what is its composition?"

    Almost anything, gold, silver, palladium and platinum. without an assay, No idea of its value. I ship it off to a refinery after I collect about 3 troy oz

    If you do find a smelter or buyer let me know. I have 2 lbs of dental gold lying around I want to get rid of.

    Midwest Refineries takes dental if it's clean and free of debris (tooth matter).

    I send my scrap to atlantic precious metals WWW.APMR.com does not matter if there are teeth or other debris. The assay for all metals.

    I don't know if this is the best group, but it is the place all the local dental labs use to refine scrap and they have always worked well for me
