Help needed, I cannot recover my old wallet backup!

Hello everybody!

I hope this is the right place for my post since I'm quite new to the forum.

At the beginning of 2012 I got excited about bitcoins and started mining for a few weeks. My computer wasn't very powerful, so I hadn't the chance to mine many coins before the fan started annoying my wife... so I just stopped, somehow saved my wallet in a usb pen and forgot about the whole thing.

A few days ago I found the old usb key and I'd like to try to recover my coins (about 20-25 BTCs if I recall it correctly). The problem is that I really can’t understand how I exported my wallets (or keys)!!

What I remember is that at the time I was often playing with brainwallets, electrum and multibit, but nothing more..
My backups are four strings, 581 characters long, representing a hex value (ie. there are only characters 0-9, a-f) and all of them start with “80”.

Hopefully somebody will be able to help me.
I’ll be glad to offer 25% if the recovered funds to anyone who can help me retrieve them.

Thanks
