    First Time Scrapping and huge score

    So Monday I decided to drive around and see what I could find. I'm a 17 year old high school student. I go in to some back neighborhoods and one of the first houses I go to has a big snowblower that looks almost brand new and had the keys in it one more street down I find a 60lb air compressor and in the next neighborhood I found a kitchen sink with copper and a PC tower at one house with tons of other metal from houses. All in all I think it was a great time for my first scrapping run even though it was poring rain.

    You sure it was all out there for the taking? You could be in for a nasty surprise. Tons of other metal?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Were these on the curb, or in someone's garage?

    Yes it was out with all his other garbage I'm sure it needs some work hasn't started and the guy with the compressor flagged me down from his driveway and helped me load his compressor in my truck
