Depends on how much work you want to go through. As is they hover around drink aluminium can rate (tinned al) 45-75c non crv value. If you break them down you'll get Al rhodium gold cobalt gold 308 stainless and sometimes an aluminium peg, sometimes a nickel plated brass peg. And a value jump to around $1.50 per lb sorted +\- a few pennies Some old, high speed (10k rpm+) and most SAS drives have a rhodium nickel wire instead of gold nickel alloy. Jumping those rates to almost double the gold wire ones. They , the wires, will coil like a spring when pulled loose, and be razor sharp.
But that only works out IF you get them completely clean and sorted. Leave anything behind on the heads once you get the wire and pickup removed and you'll see the heads crash to dirty al rate at less than 20c/lb! So if you start you need to finish the head.
