Hey guys new here as stated in title. My first post is in the "introduce your self" sub forum -check it out.
So I have this gate I'm pretty sure is solid copper because of the bluing/greening of the metal. I've done some research and so far I have not read anywhere that any alloys of copper turn green, only solid copper does -at least thats what my google search yielded. At first I thought this gate would be brass but I read online that brass only turns black after weathering and aging. If anyone can tell me if this is possibly brass etc. Id appreciate it. This gate was sitting in some weeds next to my garage. Most likely been there for 10 plus years! I have no Idea what this gate is, or what it is used for.

I'm wondering too if this gate may have some value beyond scrap as I've also read online that aged copper with the green sheen to it is highly sought after by collectors, home decorators, etc. What u all think?
One more thing. How much is a typical chassis of a truck worth? I have access to about 6 of them right now. Thanks very much!



Well...so much for uploading a photo. Can someone tell me first how to do that so you guys can see what this gate looks like.
