These are from hotspots but know some phones make use of similar manufacturing, basically a flexible circuit board wrapped around plastic to act as an antennae. Has gold contacts but also a lot of plastic.

Thoughts on best way to scrap? I'm not planning on peeling the pcb off.

Hmm... I'm not sure I was clear.

Is flexible circuit board glued on plastic with 2-3 gold contacts where the tracing is exposed.

Pretty sure a hammer would shred it and is still have to peel the bits off. Not sure the gold is even worth it.

This doesn't even have to go to go to Boardsort if it's not circuit board-y enough. I'm just not sure if there's even a copper bearing material grade this could go in.
