I understand that some of these things may not qualify but I planned to put each of these three things in with connector ends. Does that work? Are they really something Boardsort accepts? Are they something else? Thanks, Gizz

If they’re gold. And an end. They’re gold connector ends. But you basically have trimmed gold fingers mixed in there which would be a higher grade

Right the gold you're cutting off of boards are what's called gold fingers, the connectors with pins are connector ends. You do want to trim as much of the green off the gold fingers as you can manage. Boardsort is able to pay as well for them as they do when everyone removes as much waste material as possible.

Those are not gold fingers
They are Gold markings from the edges of boards
This is considerably more bored and considerably less Gold, they go as high peripheral
