So I found two speakers the other day and brought them home.
Is there anything of value in them? Are the magnets worth anything?
Do I need to/can I take the magnets off and scrap the metal around it? Is it worth it?

I read that post before....
Theses speakers are completely worthless.... they are 100% damaged, and no one would want to buy them..
Just wondering if there was any scrap value in the magnets, metal, etc?

I would just toss them in with the steel as is

People making parking lot cleaners like the magnets to pickup stuff, I take a 55gal Barrel every few weeks to the scrap yard. They take them no problem. Some of the baskets are cast AL, I will sometimes break them off, but it is not really worth the time to me.

Magnet prices have gone up, being kind of a rare earth thing, but they are not worth much, barely worth it. I've tried tearing apart old speakers and have bad luck trying to get to the magnet.
