What exactly is in the last two pics? Looks like a processor, but no gold anything on it.
Generically ceramics makes heavier cpus so even in the lowest class it’s better than the plastic ones for scrap. ;)
Any white, purple, red, green, ... coloured ceramics are worth review.
Even without legs occasionally full fledged CPUs or higher grade ASICs can go as pinless. It’s not common but can happen.
The last photo. That’s a “package” design for electrical components. Capacitors and resistors are most common. As above snip or pull the brass off if you want.
