How dangerous is amalgamating gold with mercury really? I have several buckets of old RAM and printer tabs/foils and I really don't want to waste the time and money doing it the 'safe' way.

stop being a boomer gay and use one of the halogen methods.
Is it safe? Not really. But you'll know instantly if it's not being contained, plus you can capture and neutralize halogens, with mercury you just convert it into something less soluble, but still toxic.
Cummulative mercury poisoning is slow and ireversible, one of the early signs is erectile disfuncion...
Sell the scrap as what it is because the scrap proves what it is without assay.
It's not worth stripping the gold plating, you get dick. sell the scrap and use the money to buy gold.
Death to gold bugs
Used to gold pan and use mercury to collect all the small gols flakes and dust. You can burn the mercury off with a propane gas heater and your left with a nice nugget.

mecury will settle all over your property or all over you neighbors

It's a heavy metal, even zinc vapor doesn't float away with the wind for very long.
how do you use mercury to collect the gold? how do you even get mercury these days?
Old thermostats, some old truck hood switches are gravity switches.
Really really old thermometers.
Use a cold trap to condense the mercury vapor back to liquid. EZPZ
i mean if you go to the mercury way is the less moronic way to do so
