Last month bought 210lbs of scrap metal.

This is my repost. Guess those North K hackers didn't like my buy

This is scrap metal, 210 pounds worth. Paid a grand. Two years ago I bought over 300 pounds from the same guy for a lot less.

I have now gone through about 35-?? pounds one piece at a time. You can not believe how dirty my fingers get from just picking up and looking (very closely) at these things.

So far in order of weight this is what I found (just guessin on the weight)



25-30 lbs junk and broken jewelry (sold two 3lb boxes already on feeBay)
5-10 lbs nice unbroken jewelry
3-4 lbs brass
3-4 ounces gold filled
2-3 ounces silver
30-40 grams karat gold
