    Cool saw something at the yard yesterday made my eyes bug out of my head!!

    There were what looked like four solid rolls of copper on some kind of turning poll. they were so nice and shiny! I was wondering why someone would turn in something like that.

    i asked one of the guys and he said when those rolls reach the steel core they get turned in. the four rolls weighed 1500 lbs!!



    there must have been a little bit of copper left on the rolls or else they wouldn't have been the color of copper but jeez did my eyes bug out when I saw those!!
