No. There is no gold in electrical junction boxes. If there was there would be many rich electricians.
The different types of electrical outlet boxes available for installation include metal boxes, plastic boxes, and specialty boxes like ceiling fan boxes and old work boxes.
An old work electrical box is installed into an existing wall, while a new work electrical box is installed during the construction of a new wall. Old work boxes are typically secured to the wall surface, while new work boxes are attached to the wall studs. Additionally, old work boxes may have adjustable mounting brackets to accommodate different wall thicknesses, while new work boxes are designed for specific wall depths.
Metal old work boxes offer several advantages for electrical installations. They provide better protection for electrical connections, are more durable and fire-resistant compared to plastic boxes, and offer grounding capabilities to enhance safety. Additionally, metal boxes are more secure and less likely to crack or break during installation or over time.
Old gold prospectors searched for gold in various places like rivers, streams, and areas with exposed bedrock or quartz veins. They often used tools like pans, sluice boxes, and rockers to separate gold from sand and gravel. Some also searched in underground mines and caves for gold deposits.

The box must be securely mounted. In some applications "Old Work" boxes are made to be secured by the sheetrock.
If there is not enough slack to create a pigtail connection, you can use a junction box to extend the old wiring. Cut the old wire short, strip the insulation, and connect it to a new wire with a wire nut inside the junction box. Make sure to secure the junction box properly and follow all local electrical codes.
