    Aluminum

    Aluminum is all around us . It's a given .
    I can think back about 2 years before I officially scrapped I found some kinda AL component .
    Since I did not scrap & the fact that I took notice and kept it , it was an impressive piece , it was 50 pounds of AL and even then I knew -
    it's AL !!
    In time I over heard a conversation , AL is .50 # - I never paid much mind to the conversation .But the seed was planted & when I casually saw the AL fifty pounder I knew it was worth $25 but there it sat for 2 years .
    ( I wish I never sold it as it was my first )
    As I see metals go up and down in price AL is king .50 then and creeping back up to .50 now
    Aluminum may very well be the best hoard metal particular if it's the nice neat heavy components .
    For sure on the SMF I had seen a member showing off there goods ,
    AL bars made from soda beer Cans .
    Yes - money in the bank
