Wow. I havent' seen wire like that before. 'way different than the spiral armor I'm used to.
It looks like you have a hard plastic covering over some kind of steel wire armor? You said it just fell apart when you slit the plastic cover? Looks like it might be well worth your time to strip it to bare copper, unless you can come to a deal with a scrap outfit once you know the recovery.

Like you said you got 3 ton . So for a good amount of time you can pick any day and make a good buck . Your very lucky to have it .
I'd say you have a scrappers dream .

All this copper wirer is a windfall . If it was me and I could manage with out using some of the moneys for life expenses , this might be a good chance to purchase some silver or gold or some other kinda investment ,

Just known as armoured cable in the UK - The biggest i came across was 5 inches in diameter - Stripped with a snap-off 'razor' knife.
Sadly it was whey long ago when 'bright copper' was £900 a tonne ($1500 or so) -
Think it came in at about £500 - now would be near £2000 - Still not bad for half a days toil.
British - If i knew then what i know now - would never have learnt anything or had so much fun
