Anyone familiar with these? The photo shows the back. The front. And. I removed the ceramic cover to show internal. It is all ceramic carrier. Getting that cover off was a chore. But internals are obviously gold. The wire wrapped around the toroid seems to be gold wire. I have looked and looked at it. It just strongly hints of gold wire. The 2 chip dies and the capacitors are connected with gold wire. Real good possibility. Palladium content for surface mount diodes. Comments appreciated. I do not intend to resell these. They were removed from circuitry.
Here to learn like everybody else.

Certainly looks like gold to me, though the picture isn't super great zoomed in. I imagine whatever they were installed in would be pretty stationary if so, unless there's some adhesive to stabilize the toroids.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anywho, some thoughts.
