I Have pushed it way more then this But this is a classic
Yes the windows are busted and it became so convenient I just kept it as is
having my driver and passenger side windows not work and no AC also makes it a necessity

This was a nice find . It is a 5 pound bar of sodder 65 % Tin 35% Lead. It came out of a dumpster from a home of a woman who passed away @ age 105 I found many items and also purchased many at the open house . All in All its humbling retrieving items from the passing of other people as I feel the truth of my own mortality
The value of this on ebay is $30 to $40 due to Tin content . Well thats at-least what I saw some for sale for .

Here are a bunch of Pics ,
I took them for the purpose of showing a 24 year old man who is showing some interest in scrapping
I want him to make the connection, how wile a dollar bill is currency , & the one ounce silver coin is nice to look at,
items like - rotors - steel rounds - I have found,
are equal to silver bullion, once you have the weight ,
When you realize ONE rotor like this is worth about $3 since rotor are $309 a ton (prime steel)
It shows how metal has value often over looked by many. (and just as well )
By the way the long thinnish bar next to the dollar bill is a 67% Tin 33% lead bar found a few years ago @ about 3 pounds

Well yes - a trailer - but the V8 there is a balance for my hunting stile, my truck is $10 to $ 15 day , for that money I seem to cover a lot of ground . If a V8 truck hit’s the $25 to $40 mark each day that wont work .Originally Posted by TheRecycler

This find took me by surprise 4 large wound rolls of a wire with Aluminum center and strands of copper .
The sample length that I used as a size reference has that ball of copper @ 3/4 pound
it has 1/2 pound AL
the yard only wants to pay copper bearing price about .15 to .16
since it uses a type of foam insulation the over all weight cause the copper bearing price to not be in the ball park
or even close .Those rolls I did not weigh yet but there a bit of a grunt to lift
There is some other copper there the rubber boots have a copper rod I feel might be more copper in boot
as AL wire needs lots of insulation and the boot has not much .
