What did you scrap?

[hobo finds]

4337 pounds of scrap metal at .07 per pound = $303.59


Guys I have the double axle dump trailer about 80% full of copper aluminum radiators I'm gonna have to start filling a second car trailer as I have a bunch more to go. My point is im gonna run a contest and give away free silver I'd say within the next week. I will post pics and you guys guess the weight.

Just an FYI for those on this thread... I was at Home Depot yesterday and picked up a telescoping tool with about a twelve inch magnet on the bottom. This is something that contractors use when combing jobsites to pick up loose nails and screws from the ground. I realized it could also be used to fetch things in dumpsters that would otherwise be out of reach.

Cost: a bit less than $10.

[cwgii]

i use one from harbor freight that has the feature of pulling the magnet away,,dropping what you picked up. in this case, bottle caps, into my pail.
